13、，疏忽大意。2C从下面的句子，知道他父母认为这是一种常见的病。3C结合上文，因为常见，才拿它不当一回事。4D结合前面他的妻子的离开，和他的儿子的死亡，所以剩下他一个人和他的小儿子。5A结合上文，他失去了两位亲人而给他带来痛苦。6C因为痛苦无法摆脱，才转而借助喝酒来麻痹自己。7B失去了亲人，又把拥有的家产搞得一干二净。8D下文出现D项。9A随着时间的推移，作者开始重新评估自己的苛刻的看法。10B酒鬼的儿子是一个心肠好，有着爱心的人。11D作者认为这个儿子的优秀品质一定有它的来源。12D结合上下文，知道是他的父亲。13B作者很困惑，搞不懂为什么这样的一个酒鬼父亲，竟然会培养出这样一个优秀的儿子。1
14、4B作者纳闷他是怎样培养他的儿子成为一个特殊的人的。15C这个儿子对于作者的问题，思索了一下。16D在他的记忆里17C从后面父亲说的话，可以知道这里是在他的额头吻一下。18B表示作者一边听解释，一边流泪。19C作者为原先的判断而后悔。20D结合上文，作者认为他没有给孩子留下财产，所以这里material possessions指“物质财富”。.语法填空Jim: How would you like it if we have a bonfire (篝火) party on the weekend?Betty: I think thatll be 1._ (wonder).

18、l them now 10._ by one.答案与解析语篇解读这是一篇有关组织篝火晚会的对话。Jim和Betty准备组织一个篝火晚会。对于篝火，两人都有美好的回忆。Betty曾和家人一起围坐在篝火旁听爸爸讲惊险的猎狐故事。Jim想起小时候在山村点亮蜡烛过夜的经历。1wonderful考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用形容词作表语，故填wonder的形容词形式wonderful。2an考查不定冠词。根据语境可知，此处表示记得小时候我把篝火晚会看作一段令人兴奋的时光。此处time为抽象名词具体化，且被发音以元音音素开头的形容词exciting修饰，故用不定冠词an。3family考查名词。由
19、下文的“mum, dad, and my brother”可知，Betty是与家人而不是与同学一起享受篝火晚会的。故填family。4telling考查现在分词。分析句子结构可知，此处“my dad”作“listening to”的宾语，“my dad”与tell之间存在主谓关系，故用现在分词telling作宾语补足语。5when考查连词。根据语境可知，此处表示我很小的时候，故用连词when。6was snowing考查时态。由语境及下文中的“at night”可知，此处强调的是当时正在发生的事，故用过去进行时，即was snowing。7candles考查名词复数。根据下文中的“the flickering (闪烁) candle flames”及该空格前面的two可知，此处应用candles。8Then考查副词。前文Jim和Betty分别讲述了自己关于蜡烛和篝火的美好回忆，下文Betty决定举办篝火晚会，联系上下文可知此处应用Then。9it考查代词。根据语境可知，此处应用代词it指代上文的“a big bonfire”。10one考查数词。根据语境和后面的“by one”可知，此处应填one。one by one是固定搭配，表示“逐个地，逐一地”。
