1.考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：我要和我的丈夫Joe说再见了，这是很经常的事，但这一次却有所不同。由下文可知，Joe 要离开家一段时间，所以这次的再见与以往说的再见是不一样的。故选B。A危险的；C不可能的；D糟糕的。不符合文意。

2.考查动词短语词及语境的理解。句意：经过了几个晚上的谈话，我们最终做了决定，Joe 自己去Alabama参加6个月培训，我和我们刚出生的儿子呆在家里。make a decision 做决定。A承诺；B希望；C建议。根据句意选D。

3.考查动词及语境的理解。句意：我保留家附近的教师职位是重要的。It is important that 从句中用虚拟语气，从句中谓语动词用原形。miss 想念；keep 保留；get 得到；accept接受。此处是说丈夫要外出，妻子要在家保留住教师的职位，不能和丈夫同去。故选B。

4.考查定语从句及语境的理解。句意：而且，我们还有一群我可以寻求帮助的朋友圈。此处whom 引导的是定语从句，在从句中做宾语。whose 谁的，引导定语从句时在从句中做定语；which 引导定语从句时先行词为物；what不引导定语从句。故选A。

5.考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：在Joe 走之前的那个晚上。last 最后的，最后一个晚上，即走之前的晚上。first 第一，从下文中可知Joe 还没走所以不对；next 下一个；other其他的，不符合句意。故选D。

6.考查代词及语境的理解。句意：Joe温柔的抚摸着我的肩膀。根据文意，丈夫应该抚摸的是自己的妻子，即作者“我”，而不是我们、他们或她。故选C。

7.考查动词及语境的理解。句意：我忙着一些没意义的事情，期盼着Joe 很快从卧室回来。expect 期待；remember 记得；agree 同意；allow允许。根据文意妻子应盼着丈夫快点回来。故选A。

11.考查名词及语境的理解。句意：在摇椅上坐着、一前一后摇晃着的是我的丈夫，眼睛里含着眼泪。color 颜色；tear 眼泪；joy 高兴；fear害怕。由上下文意可知，丈夫明天就要离开这个家，离开自己的孩子，他对孩子是放心不下的，此时他的心情应该是沉重的，所以眼里含着泪。故选B。

12.考查连词及语境的理解。句意：虽然孩子早已睡着了，他还是把他抱在怀中。even though即使，尽管；as if 好像；so that 以便；now that既然。根据句意可知选A。
