Question

Dear son,

The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.

If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I spent   31   it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   32   the same things thousand and one times, do not   33   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   34   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   35  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   36  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   37   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking( 嘲弄 ) smile. I taught you   38   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the  39   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   40   to me.

If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   41   I need to and when not. When my   42   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   43  , the same way I did when you gave your first   44  . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   45   any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get 46  . Someday you will understand.

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the   47   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent( 无可奈何 ) for seeing me   48   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 49   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   50  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.

I love you, Son.

【解析】

试题分析：

1.B spend some time doing something表示花费时间做某事。

2.C 根据下文中的“the same things thousand and one times”可知这里应该是重复(repeat)。

3.A 句意为：如果当我跟你说话的时候，老是重复同样的事情，不要打断我，听我说就行。根据句意可知用interrupt，其他选项不符合句意。

4.D 句意为：当你小的时候，我不得不跟你读很多遍故事，直到你睡觉。根据句意应该用until。

5.C根据下文可知是洗澡，have a shower是“沐浴、洗澡”的意思

6.B句意为：记住，为了让你洗澡，我不得不追着你，编造各种借口。invent是“编造、虚构”的意思。

7.A 句意为：当我对于新的技术不知道的时候，你要给我点时间。根据句意不难选出A项。

8.C 句意为：我教会你如何做各种事情。

9.D news是“消息、新闻”的意思；attitude是“态度”的意思；material是“材料”的意思；thread是“线、头绪、思路”的意思；句意为：当我有时候失去记忆的时候，或者说话时不知道思路，给我时间去想。根据句意应该选择thread。

10.B 根据上文可知，父亲希望儿子跟他待在一起，听他说话。只有listen可以表达老人的心声。

11.D 句意为：如果我不想吃饭，不要强迫我，我自己知道什么时候需要吃，什么时候不需要吃。

12.A 句意为：当我疲劳走不动的时候，请你帮助我。走不动的时候，自然是累了，故本题选择tired。

13.C give somebody a hand是帮助的意思。

14.A句意为：当你跨出第一步的时候，我也是这样帮助你的。your first step是第一步的意思。

15.B 根据破折号后面的内容“that I want to rest forever”可知。

16.D 句意为：总有一天你会发现，尽管我会犯错误，但我想要让你得到最好的东西……。故用despite。

17.C 句意为：总有一天你会发现，尽管我会犯错误，但我想要让你得到最好的东西，并且努力为你做准备。故用best。

18.A 根据后面一句话“You must be next to me”，可知应该选near。

19.B 句意为：帮助我就像你开始长大我帮你的时候一样。
