解析试题分析:
本文是一篇记叙文。记述了父亲因为忙于挣钱而忽略了家人以致孩子们都忘记了父亲的存在。在得知女儿生病住院并不断念叨父亲之后,父亲决定重新找一份工作,以便更多地照顾家人。
【小题1】文章最后一节作者丈夫提及:“I just wanted to make as much money as possible for you and our kids”. 可见,他拼命工作不是因为其“有趣(interesting)”,而是因为工作对于他家庭的“重要(important)”, 因此排除B项。A,D两项不合语境。possible, 可能的;relaxing 令人轻松的;故C项正确。
【小题2】短语动词词义辨识。sit down 坐下;get up 起床; stand up 站起来; come up 走近前来。作者和孩子们还在熟睡时,丈夫已经“起床”。故答案为B.
【小题3】下文提到,孩子们常问“父亲哪去了”,以致后来都“忘了还有父亲”。说明因为父亲上班早、下班迟,孩子们因为睡觉而见不着他。pets, parents, neighbors都没有在文章中提及,此处应该是作者和他们的“孩子”还在睡觉。故答案为A.
【小题4】据下文,作者丈夫认为吃早饭是浪费时间。所以此处应该是“不吃早饭”就上班。leave without having breakfast, 不吃早饭就走。故答案为C.
【小题5】作者认为吃早饭“浪费时间”应该指“在家”吃早饭。在“办公室”吃早饭不合适。即使可以,在办公室或其他什么地方吃早饭与在家也没什么两样,因为在哪吃早饭都需要专门的时间;“在路上”边走边吃可以节省时间。故答案为D.
【小题6】文章第四段提到作者丈夫很忙,所以他不愿意浪费的当然是“时间”而不是money, energy或food. 故答案为B.
【小题7】上文提到不吃早饭就上班,下文提到将工作带到家里来做,说明作者丈夫“很忙”。keep sb. busy, 使某人始终处于忙碌状态;“使某人劳累”表达为make sb. tired. (We cannot “keep” people tired.)。fast, excited都不合语境。故答案为B.
【小题8】前文提到, He came back at ten at night. 十点钟到家已经很晚了,应该“一到家”就开始工作,故选择as soon as, A项正确。in the end, 最终;long before, 很久以前;long after, 很久以后。
【小题9】据前文,He even couldn’t finish all his work in the office. 作者丈夫应该是将“工作”带到家里来完成,故选择work, C项正确。
【小题10】父亲上班时孩子们还在睡觉,父亲下班时孩子们已经睡觉,所以他们应该是“从来没有”见到过父亲。故选择never, B项正确。
【小题11】孩子们“问”为什么总也见不到父亲,母亲“回答”说他要工作、很忙,所以选择reply, C项正确。这里不存在“欺骗”行为。cheat, 欺骗。
【小题12】据上文,As time went by,they didn’t ask where their dad was again. 孩子们或许已经“忘记”了还有父亲。ignore, 视而不见;mind,介意,在乎。答案为B.
【小题13】下文I sent her to hospital.以及 …seriously ill提示本题选择ill. 故C项正确。
【小题14】在医院告诉母亲孩子病情的当然是“医生”。boss, 老板、上司;officer, 军官、警官。故答案为D.
【小题15】从下文母亲打电话给“父亲”告知情况可知,Jenny不断念叨的是dad. 故选择C项。
【小题16】Jenny不断呼喊dad的情况是“听”医生说的,所以选择hear. notice, 注意到、看到;realize, 意识到、认识到;fell, 感觉到。故C项正确。
【小题17】孩子病中思念父亲,作为母亲的作者决定给“丈夫”打电话。故答案为D.
【小题18】为照顾家庭,父亲重新“找”了一份工作。找工作:find a job. 此处如果job前another一词改为his,可以选择change, change one’s job, 换工作;lose one’s job, 丢掉工作。答案为D.
【小题19】此前,作者丈夫一心挣“钱”。make money, 挣钱。故答案为A.
【小题20】作者丈夫决定今后与家人一起“度过”更多时间。spend time with sb. 陪伴某人。故答案为A.
考点:记叙文。

When an NBA player is young, he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later ______ he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I” in “team”.
There is no better example of the value of ______ than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. ______, none of them had any titles(头衔) to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to play together, caring little ______ money and fame. Garnett and Allen ______ Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the best athletes in the world. They treat every second of every ______ as it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. Therefore, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their ______ effort too.
Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and ______ defense(防卫). His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that _______. When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost ______, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. ______, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to ______ their friends and teammates.
Now, the guys who don’t play know they can still affect the game by cheering, so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have ______ a strong relationship. They are ______ just teammates. They are brothers.
The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year. There is a saying that goes, “A successful team beats with one ______.” If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after      thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head      his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a        person, he had been        to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a        collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays       .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our       ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant        bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be        there happily reading our newspapers, when        so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd        with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the        of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too       . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.”       , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet       . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't        him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his        from now on. And what of James McKay?        he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “      the most exciting birthday       !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

When I was in primary school, I got into a major argument (争论)with a boy in my class. I can't    what it was about, but I have never forgotten the    I learned that day.
I was    that I was right and he was wrong—and he was sure that I was wrong and he was right. The    decided to teach us a very important lesson. She    both of us up to the    of the class and    him on one side of her desk and me on   . In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could    see that it was black. She asked the boy what    the object was. "White," he answered.
I couldn't believe he said the object was white,    it was obviously black! Another    started between my classmate and me, this    about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy was standing and told him to come to stand where I had been. We changed   , and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I  answer, "White." It was an object with two    colored sides, and from his side it was white.    from my side was the color black.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must    in the other person's shoes and look at the     through their eyes in order to    understand their view.

When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤儿院)and taught us how to do woodworking projects.
I remember my first project—a small table. I was so      of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an)     . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to      it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a     . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always      with us.
As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so      and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a     , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was      it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand      it, she noticed that it was still wet.
“Were you      to bring this home?” she asked.
“No, ma’am,” I      with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was      stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.
I hid the table in my closet and never      it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent(宿管员), thinking that she would      it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I      that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her      to get something important. I followed her      into a dark corner. She picked something up.      she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.
Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.
Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of      to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to     .
