When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, every time he asked me 【1】(hold)the hammer(錘子) for him, just so we would have a time for a conversation with each other.

【3】later

【4】usually

【5】lately

【7】was thinking

【8】arrived

【10】more

【解析】

本文講述作者自己的父親操勞一生，為了子女和家庭兢兢業(yè)業(yè)，不辭辛勞，但是作者卻以太忙為理由沒有花足夠的時間與自己的父親聊天，父親的去世給作者留下很大的遺憾。

【1】句意：每次，他讓我給他拿著錘子。

句中ask是動詞，固定搭配是ask ab. to do sth.，表示“請求（或要求）某人做某事”，所以此處應使用動詞不定式to hold。故填to hold。

【2】句意：我從沒見過我爸爸喝酒或出去過夜。

句中see是動詞，固定搭配是see sb. do/doing sth.，表示“看見某人做過或者正在做某事”；句中and是并列連詞，且taking是動名詞形式，前后保持一致，所以此處應使用動名詞形式drinking。故填drinking。

【3】句意：幾年后，我買了一棟房子，我爸爸在38攝氏度的炎熱中獨自粉刷了三天。

句中several years是一段時間，later可以放在一段時間之后，表示“……以后”。故填later。

【4】句意：一個星期天的早上，我們像往常一樣通了電話。

usually是副詞，其形容詞形式為usual，固定搭配as usual意為“像往常一樣”。故填usual。

【5】句意：我發(fā)現我爸爸完全忘記了我們近期談過的一些事情。

根據句中“my dad had totally forgotten some things”可知，此處作者父親忘記的是他們近期說過的一些事情；lately是副詞，意為“近來，不久前”，用在此處符合題意。故填lately。

【6】句意：我馬上買了一張機票。

根據上一句中was是is的過去式，可知此處時態(tài)是一般過去時，所以用動詞buy的過去式。故填bought。

【7】句意：在路上，我正在在考慮所有特殊的場合，和我爸爸聊天。

根據句中on my way可知，此處是“在我乘坐飛機的途中”，表示的是過去的是一段時間，所以此處時態(tài)應使用過去進行時，表示“在乘坐飛機途中我正在思考”，過去進行時結構為was/were+doing；主語是I，be動詞用was，think的現在分詞是thinking。故填was thinking。

【8】句意：在我到達醫(yī)院的時候，我父親已經去世了。

根據后半句中had passed away為過去完成時，可知，此處句中的時態(tài)應為一般過去時，所以應使用動詞arrive的過去式。故填arrived。

【9】句意：他死后，我對他有了很多了解。

根據句中his是形容詞物主代詞，可知其后要接名詞；die是動詞，其名詞形式為death。故填death。

【10】句意：我對他了解了很多，對我自己也有了更多的了解。

根據句中的even是修飾形容詞或副詞比較級，much的比較級形式為more。故填more。
