【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了Al是一位有兩個兒子的藝術(shù)家。由于大意，他的長子病死了；正在Al悲傷難過之際，他的妻子也離開了他。Al悲傷絕望，酗酒度日，幾個月后死在一個小酒吧里。我認為Al是一個徹底的失敗者，但后來從Al的小兒子身上看到了Al曾經(jīng)給予孩子的關(guān)愛，改變了對Al的看法。

【1】句意：Al和他的妻子都認為這只是普通的疾病，都沒有認真對待這個情況。

考查形容詞辨析。usual通常的；common普通的；special特別的；serious嚴肅的。根據(jù)下文“neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously”可知Al和他的妻子都沒有認真對待長子的胃疼，因此夫妻倆都認為這只是普通的疾病，故選B。

【2】句意：他知道如果他意識到情況的嚴重性，孩子本可以得以挽救，他總是感到內(nèi)疚。

考查動詞的過去分詞辨析。saved挽救；taken帶走；killed殺害；brought帶來。分析題干可知，此處四個動詞都是過去分詞的形式；根據(jù)下文“if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation”可知如果他意識到情況的嚴重性，孩子本可以得以挽救，故選A。

【3】句意：更糟糕的是，不久他的妻子也離開了他，只留下他和六歲的小兒子相依為命。

考查動詞辨析。helped幫助；asked詢問；loved愛；left離開。根據(jù)句意和下文的“leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son”可知只剩下他和六歲的小兒子相依為命，所以他的妻子離開了他，故選D。

【4】句意：這兩種情況的傷害和痛苦讓Al無法承受，于是他從酒中尋找慰藉。

考查名詞辨析。happiness幸福；luck運氣；pain痛苦；fun樂趣。分析句子成分可知，此處應(yīng)和前面名詞hurt傷害并列，所以也用表示不幸的名詞；又因下文“the two situations were more than Al could stand”可知這兩種情況所帶來的傷痛讓Al無法承受，所以此處用名詞“痛苦”，故選C。

【5】句意：這兩種情況的傷害和痛苦讓Al無法承受，于是他從酒中尋找慰藉。

考查名詞辨析及短語搭配。help幫助；interest興趣；sadness悲傷；work工作。根據(jù)句意和上文“and he turned to alcohol（酒精）for”可知，此處需要一個名詞，構(gòu)成turn to...for help“向……尋求幫助”的短語，故選A。

【6】句意：Al大量飲酒，他開始失去自己擁有的一切東西——他的土地、房屋等等。

考查不定代詞辨析。something某物；anything任何事物；nothing沒什么；everything一切。根據(jù)句意和下文的“he possessed（擁有）—his land, house, etc.”可知他的土地、房屋等都是他所擁有的一切東西，故選D。

【7】句意：聽聞Al的死訊，我想：“多么沒有意義的一生！真是徹底的失��！”

考查名詞辨析。life生命、生活；death死亡；health健康；happiness幸福。根據(jù)句意和上文“Finally Al died alone in a small bar”可知Al死在一個小酒吧里，此處表示Al的死亡，故選B。

【8】句意：他是我所認識的最善良、最有同情心和最有愛心的人之一。

考查形容詞最高級。busiest最忙的；richest最富的；kindest最善良的；smartest最精明的。分析題干，此處和下文“most caring, most loving”形成并列，都用形容詞最高級，并且應(yīng)該是表示心地善良的形容詞。根據(jù)句意和下文“kindness and caring had to come from somewhere”可知他的善良和關(guān)愛一定來自某處，所以此處用形容詞kind的最高級，故選C。

【9】句意：我看到了Ernie和他自己孩子之間的愛，想到Ernie的善良和關(guān)愛一定來自某處。

考查名詞辨析。love愛；hate恨；help幫助；work工作。根據(jù)下文“kindness and caring had to come from somewhere”可知他的善良和關(guān)愛一定來自某處，所以此處表示Ernie的愛，故選A。

【10】句意：Ernie柔聲說：“小時候直到18歲離家，爸爸每天晚上都會來我的房間，親吻我說，‘兒子，愛你’�！�

考查名詞辨析。brother兄弟；father父親；sister姐妹；friend朋友。根據(jù)前文提到在Ernie的哥哥過世和他媽媽離開后，每晚來Ernie房間的只能是他的父親，故選B。

做完形填空時，首先應(yīng)跳過空格通讀全文，明白文章大意，然后再做題。做題時記住“瞻前顧后想結(jié)果”這一原則，從詞義用法、固定搭配、邏輯推理和上下文的聯(lián)系等方面去綜合考慮。最后應(yīng)再把全文通覽一遍，細心檢查所選答案能否使短文上下連貫，前后呼應(yīng)，詞句通順，意思完整。另外，平時還要多多積累詞匯。完型填空�？济�詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞等辨析。做詞義辨析題時，首先要確認四個選項的含義，然后分析語境和邏輯關(guān)系，確定答案。例如小題3，此處四個動詞均為一般過去時，helped幫助；asked詢問；loved愛；left離開。根據(jù)句意和下文“leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son”可知只剩下他和六歲的小兒子相依為命，所以他的妻子離開了他，故選D。
