Question

I had said goodbye to my husband, Joe, so often, but this time was      .

We now had our first child. After nights of talks, we made the difficult      that Joe would go by himself to Alabama for the six-month training course, and I would stay behind with our new son. It was important that I     my teaching position（职位）near our home at Fort Hood. Also we were part of a strong network of friends whom I could turn to for help.

On Joe's      evening at home, I bathed little Joey, got him into his sleeper and was heading to the bedroom when Joe gently touched        on the shoulder. Lifting the baby from my arms, he said he wanted to put Joey to bed tonight.

They headed down the hall, and I busied myself with meaningless tasks,     Joe to appear from the bedroom within a few minutes. A half hour went by, and still he had not come back. Thinking he was having      getting our son to fall asleep, I walked quietly to the baby's room and looked into the dimly-lit（灯光暗淡的）room.

Sitting in the rocking chair, moving slowly back and forth, was my husband with tears（眼泪）in his eyes. He was holding our baby in his arms     he had fallen asleep long before. When his pained eyes met mine, he said, "I just can't put him down."

That night we stood over Joey's bed, holding each other and saying over and over that we would make it through this leaving and be       again soon.

Joey is six now, and he has a four-year-old brother named Jack. There have been many goodbyes since that night, yet my soldier still fights back tears when it's time to       once again in service to his country and give his boys that last, long hug（拥抱）goodbye.

【解析】

试题分析：这是一个充满温情的故事。丈夫要外出参加一个为期六个月的培训，留下妻子和刚出生的儿子。在丈夫走的前一晚上，他想亲自哄自己的孩子睡觉，但却很长时间没回来。妻子很好奇，去孩子的房间找他，却看到了丈夫抱着已经睡着的孩子，舍不得放下。面对着夫妻、父子的分离，我们看到了一个丈夫对孩子的爱，很温馨。

1.形容词及语境理解。句意：我要和我的丈夫乔说再见了，这是很经常的事，但这一次有所不同。Dangerous危险的； different 不同的；impossible不可能的； terrible糟糕的。由下文知乔要离开一段时间，所以这次说的再见与以往说的再见是不一样的。故选B。

2.名词及语境理解。句意：经过几个晚上的谈话，我们最终做出了艰难的决定。 Promise承诺；wish希望；suggestion建议；decision决定。 make a decision做决定，故选D。

3.动词及语境理解。句意：我保留家附近的教师职位是重要的。 Miss想念； keep 保留；get得到；accept接受。 It is important that从句中用虚拟语气，从句中谓语动词用原形。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.形容词及语境理解。句意：在乔走之前的那个晚上。 first 第一，从下文知乔还没有走，谁也不对； next 下一个； other 其他的，不合句意。last最后的，最后一个晚上，即乔走之前的那个晚上。故选D。

5.代词及语境理解。句意：乔温柔的抚摩着我的肩膀。Us我们； them他们；me我；her她。根据文意，乔应该抚摸的是自己的妻子，及作者“我”，而不是我们、他们和她，故选C。

6.动词及语境理解。句意：我忙着一些没意义的事，期盼着乔很快从卧室回来。 Expecting期待；remembering记得； agreeing同意； allowing允许。根据文意妻子应盼着丈夫快点回来，故选A。

7.名词及语境理解。句意：考虑着他可能在哄孩子睡觉这件事上有困难。Excuse借口；fun玩笑。乐趣；trouble麻烦，困难；chance机会。 have trouble doing sth做某事有困难，所以选C。

8.连词及语境理解。句意：虽然孩子早已睡了，但他还是把他抱在怀中。 Though虽然； because 因为； unless 除非； even甚至。根据句意可知该选A。

9.形容词及语境理解。句意：我们一遍遍的说着一定能渡过这次分离，很快就能再次团聚。 sure确信的；proud自豪的； alone独自的； together一起，团聚。此处是夫妻两人互相安慰着一定能很快团聚。所以选D。

10.动词及语境理解。句意：当再次分时，我的丈夫仍要忍住眼泪，为了对国家做贡献。 visit参观，拜访； sleep睡觉； leave离开； play玩。句中soldier本义为“士兵”，由上下文可知指的就是她丈夫。根据文意面对分别的时候，才会忍住眼泪。所以选C。

考点：人生百味类短文。
