【解析】

文章大意：本文主要敘述了父母之間的那種隱隱約約的發(fā)自內(nèi)心的真愛，這種愛在平時(shí)表現(xiàn)的不明顯，甚至讓人覺得不像是愛，但在關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻，卻讓人感動(dòng)，就像藏在被子里的線條，雖然看不見，但是卻讓被子既強(qiáng)壯又耐用。

【1】

句意：即使在特殊的日子里互相送花更是不可能的。

impossible不可能的；enjoyable愉快的；fashionable時(shí)尚的；acceptable可接收的。根據(jù)上文 They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV可知，父母沒有書本上或電視上那樣的浪漫，故空處的詞應(yīng)為“不可能的”，故答案為A。

【2】

句意：我靜靜地坐在她旁邊，看著她。

shouted大喊；cried哭；looked看；laughed大笑。根據(jù)前句One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(縫被子).一天，媽媽正在縫被子和后句中silently的提示可知，空處的詞應(yīng)為looked和at一起構(gòu)成動(dòng)詞短語looked at，看……，故答案為C。

【3】

句意：我用很低的聲音問她。

exciting令人激動(dòng)的；low低的；strange奇怪的；happy高興的。根據(jù)下文I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her.可知“我”怕這個(gè)問題會(huì)傷害到媽媽，因此應(yīng)是低聲詢問，故答案為B。

【4】

句意：媽媽停下她的工作，驚奇地看著我。

in fear在恐懼中；in need在危難中；in danger在危險(xiǎn)中；in surprise驚奇地。根據(jù)下句She didn’t answer my question at once.她沒有馬上回答我可知，媽媽對于孩子的問話表示“吃驚”，故答案為D。

【5】

句意：但是最后我聽見媽媽說了下面的話。

at first首先；at then那時(shí)；at last最后；at times有時(shí)。根據(jù)上句She didn’t answer my question at once.她沒有馬上回答我可知，媽媽在回答問題之前，經(jīng)歷了一段時(shí)間，故空處的短語應(yīng)為“最后”，故答案為C。

【6】

句意：有時(shí)它冒出頭來，但是它的很大部分隱藏在被子里。

appears出現(xiàn)；disappears消失；comes來；shows展示。根據(jù)下文的“but”可知，空處的詞為“顯露、出現(xiàn)”之意，即disappear的反義詞，故答案為A。

【7】

句意：如果生活是一床被子，那么，愛就應(yīng)該是線。

money錢；friend朋友；love愛；family家庭。根據(jù)上文可知，孩子在問媽媽關(guān)于“愛”的問題，故答案為C。

【8】

句意：我仔細(xì)地聽著，但是直到下一年春天才明白她所說的話。

until直到……才；to到；after在……之后；during在……期間。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處的詞和前面的not一起構(gòu)成not…until，直到……才，故答案為A。

【9】

句意：當(dāng)時(shí)，父親突然病得很嚴(yán)重。

easily容易地；sadly悲傷地；heavily大量地、在很大程度上；seriously嚴(yán)重地。根據(jù)下句My mother had to stay with him ____ for a month.我媽媽必須在醫(yī)院里跟他待一個(gè)月可知，爸爸病得很嚴(yán)重，故答案為D。

【10】

句意：我媽媽必須在醫(yī)院里跟他待一個(gè)月。

at home在家里；in the hospital在醫(yī)院里；in hospital住院；in the country在鄉(xiāng)下。根據(jù)上句At that time, my father suddenly got sick ____.當(dāng)時(shí)，父親突然病得很嚴(yán)重，母親應(yīng)是在醫(yī)院陪護(hù)，故答案為B。

【11】

句意：當(dāng)他們從醫(yī)院回來時(shí)，他們兩個(gè)看起來很蒼白。

pale蒼白的；strong強(qiáng)壯的；sad悲傷的；happy高興的。根據(jù)常識(shí)，大病初愈的人和照顧病人的人，都會(huì)很虛弱，臉色蒼白，故答案為A。

【12】

句意：我爸爸從來沒有這么溫柔過。

always總是；never從未；sometimes有時(shí)；usually經(jīng)常。根據(jù)And my father got angry easily.我爸爸非常容易生氣和It seemed that they were the most harmonious(和諧的) couple.似乎他們是最和諧的一對夫妻可知，爸爸從來沒有這么溫柔過，故答案為B。

【13】

句意：所有這一切構(gòu)成了一副世界上最美麗的圖畫。

made up組成；looked up查找；gave up放棄；put up張貼、搭起。根據(jù)上文可知，美麗的一對和諧的夫妻、樹葉和陽光“構(gòu)成”了一副美麗的圖畫，故答案為A。

【14】

句意：告訴你事實(shí)，我就喜歡和你媽媽一起散步，我喜歡這種生活。

lie謊言；reason理由；truth事實(shí)；result結(jié)果。根據(jù)前句“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently.可知，爸爸已經(jīng)康復(fù)，只是很喜歡和媽媽一起散步是“事實(shí)”，故答案為C。

【15】

句意：曾經(jīng)我認(rèn)為愛就意味著鮮花，禮物和親吻。

Once曾經(jīng)；And和、又；Then然后；So因此。根據(jù)下句But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.但是從他們的經(jīng)歷，我明白了愛就是我們生活的被子里的線。可知，作者認(rèn)為“愛就意味這鮮花，禮物和親吻”，是以前對愛的理解，故空處的詞意思“曾經(jīng)”，故答案為A。
