My father died in December. He had spent the last several years in hospital, and my mother spent a lot of her time him. That is without doubt, a situation for any family. And the was a team of fairly frustrated family members.
My biggest frustration was trying to why he didn’t make choices that would him to be involved more fully in the lives of his grandchildren. Yet he each and every one of them. Every morning he asked my mother which of his grandbabies was going to that day. He had frequent visits from his collection of loving grandkids. Kids would have the place up instantly—toys everywhere, cushions off the couches and the TV channel to their station. Every visit was a kid invasion into his space. Interestingly, he was not at all bothered by the or chaos at all. He was never with them and he certainly never shouted at any child. Visits ended with and kisses.
I felt that relationship wasn’t good enough because he didn’t actually do anything my children. My dad didn’t read to the children, and certainly played a board game or did a puzzle with them. He didn’t take them out for or do any of the other things I saw active grandparents doing with their grandchildren. It made me sad that he was to get on with the kids.
A couple of weeks after his death, my 9-year-old daughter turned up in my bedroom at midnight to share a
of him done by herself. Included in the picture were several messages and —one for each day since he had died. The most striking one to me was“I loved EVERYTHING about you, Grandpa”.
Apparently, I was . All that time I thought he wasn’t doing anything with his grandchildren, but he was very actively doing the thing that was most to them. He loved them. And it was all they needed.

解析試題分析：作者對父親(作者的公公)埋怨頗多。主要埋怨他不同孫輩們一起玩耍。其實(shí)作者誤解了父親。
父親去世后，她的孩子拿出他們所畫的一幅畫，畫中寫道“爺爺，我愛你的一切”深深震撼了她。其實(shí)父
親所做的一切對她的孩子們是多么的重要。
【小題1】B 父親生病住院，按常理說：母親應(yīng)該花時間去照料(taking care of)父親。其余三項(xiàng)“為……準(zhǔn)
備，信任，盼望”都不符合語境。
【小題2】C 在父親生病，母親照料父親的情況下，毫無疑問家務(wù)事沒有人做了，所以應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)了“困難的
(difficult)情況”，而不至于出現(xiàn)了“危險的(dangerous)情況(如果這樣推測就有點(diǎn)夸大其辭)”；其余兩項(xiàng) “個
人的，令人厭煩的” 結(jié)合下文的(frustrated令人沮喪的)應(yīng)排除。
【小題3】A由上下文可以推測這里講的是結(jié)果(result)。結(jié)果造成整個一家人都陷入了令人沮喪的境地。其
余三項(xiàng)“解決的辦法，獎勵/報酬，復(fù)習(xí)/回顧”都不符合語境。
【小題4】D本句比較長有兩個空格，所以與下一題連起來考慮。根據(jù)下文的敘述，我們可以這樣理解本句
話的意思：作者感到最頭疼的是要盡力去理解父親為什么就沒有做出選擇讓自己更加充分地融入到孫輩們
的生活中去的呢(從下文可以看出，父親是不去看望孩子們的而是孩子到他們的住處玩)。explain解釋；
describe描述；accept接受。
【小題5】B expect期望；allow讓，允許；force強(qiáng)迫；persuade勸服。
【小題6】C從“Yet”的轉(zhuǎn)折語氣中，我們可以推測“父親還是愛每一個孩子的”。其余三項(xiàng)的意思分別為
“尊敬，忽視/不重視，責(zé)怪”不符合語境。
【小題7】C每天早上父親都會問母親當(dāng)天哪一個孩子來玩(訪visit)。leave離開，留下；cry 哭泣；perform
表演。
【小題8】B從下文可以看出：孩子們常常把房間弄得亂七八糟的(messed up)。set up建立，創(chuàng)立；given up
放棄；lit up 點(diǎn)亮。
【小題9】B孩子們常常把房間弄得亂七八糟——到處是玩具和從沙發(fā)上拉下的沙發(fā)墊子，把電視頻道調(diào)到
他們喜歡的臺。introduced 介紹；switched 轉(zhuǎn)換；pointed 指；check檢查。
【小題10】D與下文相匹配的詞應(yīng)該是“noise”。有趣的是，父親對孩子的吵鬧聲或是嘰嘰喳喳聲一點(diǎn)兒也
不感到厭煩。impression印象；alarm驚恐，警報，鬧鈴；expression表情，言語。
【小題11】D從下文“父親從來沒有對任何孩子大喊大叫過一聲”可以看出“父親對孩子們是何等的耐心
(never impatient)”。careful小心謹(jǐn)慎；intelligent勤奮的，智力的；inconvenient不方便的。
【小題12】D根據(jù)下文的“kisses”可以推測應(yīng)該是“擁抱(hugs)”。tears眼淚水；quarrels 爭吵；tricks戲
法，把戲，計(jì)謀，訣竅，騙局，惡作劇。
【小題13】B do sth.with sb和某人一起做某事，在本文中我們可以理解為“與孩子們一起玩�！�。作者覺得
祖孫之間的關(guān)系還是不夠好，因?yàn)楦赣H事實(shí)上就沒有跟孩子們一起玩耍過。
【小題14】C承上文的否定和下文的“or”，這里應(yīng)該用否定詞“never(沒有)”。父親沒有讀過書給孩子們聽，
從來沒有跟他們玩過桌面游戲，也沒有跟他們猜過謎語。Frequently經(jīng)常；always總是；occasionally偶爾。
【小題15】A帶孩子出去散步(walks)。books書；jokes玩笑；interests興趣，利益。
【小題16】C fail to do="cannot" do。hope to do希望做某事；offer to do 主動做某事；promise to do答應(yīng)做某
事。令作者悲傷的是父親沒有與孩子們相處。
【小題17】D下文(picture)有同義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)，故選drawing(圖畫)。Dream夢想；plan計(jì)劃；story故事。
【小題18】A下文的““I loved EVERYTHING about you, Grandpa”就是“statement(文字陳述)”。 photos照
片；suggestions建議；problems問題。
【小題19】C 很顯然作者錯怪了父親，所以“我錯(wrong)了”。 guilty負(fù)罪感，內(nèi)疚的；rude粗魯?shù)模籪irm
堅(jiān)定的。
【小題20】B 父親所做的事情對作者的孩子是多么的重要(important)。honest誠實(shí)的；normal正常的；equal
相等的，平等的。
