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   26   teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   27  the same things thousand and one times, do not   28   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   29   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   30  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   31  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   32   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   33   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   34  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   35   to me.

If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   36   I need to and when not. When my   37   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   38  , the same way I did when you gave your first   39  . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   40  any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get ___41__. 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   42   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   43   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   44   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and  45  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.

I love you, Son

Your father

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇优美的抒情散文。文章以一个父亲的身份用抒情的笔调向孩子要求当他年迈的时候，应该如何善待用爱和耐心他就如同当初父亲是怎样对待孩子的一样。让读者真切的感受到“天下父母心”。同时也告诫我们要善待老人。

1.考查近义词辨析。根据空格后teaching一词的提示可知选B. Spend time (in)doing sth 花费时间做某事，常用结构：it takes sb some time to do sth句意是：你记得我曾花多久时间教你这些事吗?

2.从上文的speak及下文的thousand and one times可推断出是“一再重复”述说同样的事情，故用repeat。

3.根据下文listen to me和空格处do not ...构成对比，同时结合上文提到“一再重复述说同样的事情”，可知此处是指不要打断我的话，故用interrupt.

4.连词辨析。句意; 你小时候,我必须一遍又一遍的读着同样的故事,直到你静静睡着,故应该填连词 until直到。。。为止。

5.根据下文in order that you wanted to bathe（词义复现）可知此处应填shower，与bathe对应。

6.A. discovered  B. invented  C. noticed     D. Assumed你记得小时后我曾编出多少理由,只为了哄你洗澡

7.know about知道，了解。当你看到我对新科技的无知 。B. fearing 害怕C. Enjoying喜欢，享受 D.consulting商议，商量；咨询；请教，均不合题意。

8.考查‘疑问词+不定式”在句子中宾语，句意：我教会了你怎么做事情，故用疑问词how.

9.名词辨析。A. News消息B.attitude态度C.material材料D.thread线；线索，此处是指忘记了谈话的线索，即如果交谈中不知所云,故D符合题意。

10.结合上下文此处是指“对我而言重要的不是对话,而是能跟你在一起，有你的倾听。故选listening。

11.根据后文and when not可知此处是并列结构，故填when,意思是：我知道什么时候需要吃，什么时候不需要。

12.从后文do not allow me to walk说明腿很疲劳，倦怠，不听使唤，故用tired。

13.联系上文“腿不听使唤”，根据常识，当然是需要帮助。give sb one’s hand 帮某人的忙。

14.名词辨析。A. Step步骤，步伐句意：如同我曾扶着你踏出你人生的第一步。B.pace步幅，步调 C.laugh 笑D.cry哭，均不合题意。

15.从下文that I want to rest forever可推断出是“不想活了”，故选live。

16.上文提到父亲告诉孩子不想活了，根据常识，孩子自然会“生气，不理解”，故此处父亲特地嘱咐“请不要生气”。

17.根据句意“我总是尽我所能要给你最好的’,可得知答案为best。

18.根据下文You must be next to me（同义词复现）可得知此处应该填答案near

19.根据句意,尽量的了解我，帮助我如同我当初帮着你开始人生一样的。A，C答案make/earn a living是”谋生”的意思。

20.名词辨析。patience耐心。句意是用爱跟耐心帮我走完人生。A. mercy 同情，怜悯B.care关心（包括在love里边）C.excuse借口,故都不符合原文意思。

考点：人生百味类完形填空。
