【解析】

文章讲述作者的小儿子每天都在路口等作者回来，甚至一个大雨滂沱的傍晚，孩子依然忠诚地等在路口。作者时常想起那个场景，一生珍惜。

【1】B每天晚上作者的小儿子总是请求母亲允许他带着他的黑狗去等作者回家。order命令；permission允许；praise表扬；like喜欢。使用B项表示母亲允许他这样做，故B正确。

【2】B 根据第19空后the little boy and his black dog可知，儿子带着他的黑狗来接作者。故B正确。

【3】A journey旅途（长途短途均可）；flight航班，飞行；effort努力；ride骑行。从作者的家到路口有半英里的路程，此处make a journey为固定短语。而且与第9空后的journey呼应。故A正确。

【4】C栅栏“标志着”通向家的林荫大道的开始。discover发现；explain解释；mark标志；describe描述。故选A。

【5】C 根据下文的大约一个小时判断，他是被生意耽误了，下班比平时晚。specific具体的；typical典型的；late晚的，迟到的；ahead提前的。根据句意可知选C。

【6】D 孩子每天傍晚都去路口等父亲，所以是很忠诚的。hopeful有希望的；grateful感激的；careful小心的；faithful忠诚的。答案选D。

【7】A 作者忙着生意，也就完全忘了孩子“等”他的这件事情。wait等待；send送，派；search寻找；call打电话，叫。选A。

【8】B 雨下得很大，因此作者“看”不到前面 10 英尺远的地方。drive驾驶；see看见；feel感觉；hear听见。答案选B。

【9】B 此处用“我想的是赶快结束这段路途回到温暖的家里”与前面的“完全忘记”相呼应。stick to坚持；think of想到；pick up捡起；hold on别挂断。选B正确。

【10】D 前面提到雨下得很大，后面提到雨下得小了起来，所以用“最终；最后”。in fact事实上；in surprise惊讶地；at once立刻；at last最后。故D正确。

【11】B 根据动词 turn 判断，他转了最后一个“弯”。由于路是用栅栏围着，所以用corner。moment时刻；corner角落；street街道；way道路。故B正确。

【12】A 当雨稍微小点的时候，突然作者看见了小儿子。all of a sudden突然；believe it or not信不信由你；to my pleasure使作者高兴的是；for seconds有几秒钟。故A正确。

【13】A 儿子一只手举着伞，一只手拿着爸爸的拐杖。hold举着；take带走；fold折叠；carry携带。故A正确。

【14】C 从前面的句子...was wearing the biggest and most beautiful smile可知，是脸上的微笑点亮了他的脸。body身体；head头；face脸；hand手。故C正确。

【15】D 根据后面的ran into my arms判断，此处作者先要“打开”了车门。close关闭；lock锁；knock敲；open打开。故D正确。

【16】C 由于下雨，而孩子的身上又淋湿了，所以孩子冷得“发抖”。worrying令人担心的；crying大哭的；trembling颤抖的；complaining抱怨的。故C正确。

【17】D 根据下文的“只是说”可知，孩子没有“提到”下雨和等了那么长时间。notice注意到；doubt怀疑；judge判断；mention提到。故D正确。

【18】A 根据下文的a wonderful new home和no longer have a long country road可知，他们“搬家”了。move搬家，移动；turn转变，转弯；return回来；travel旅行。故A正确。

【19】D 根据语意判断，上下文是转折关系。therefore因此；besides此外；otherwise否则；however然而。故D正确。

【20】B 儿子在雨中等他及对他说的话使作者难忘，所以他的“思绪”经常回到当时的情景。time时间；scene 场景；act行为；sight视野，景色。故B正确。
