【解析】

试题分析：本文属于教育类短文。作者年老多病的父亲教给他这样一个道理：他放弃了一切却一无所获，得到的只是家人的爱。也就是不要斤斤计较，要以爱心来对待一切，平静地面对生活，这样可以让自己的内心平和。得到真正的幸福。

1.B考查副词辨析。副词therefore因此；however然而；meanwhile同时；afterwards之后；爸爸教给我这个道理不是在他健康强壮的时候，而是在体弱多病的事后。语气转换。根据however的语法特征也能选中。故B正确。

2.D考查形容词辨析。形容词poor贫穷；slow缓慢；tired疲惫；weak虚弱；根据全句的逻辑意思和下文的提示（he cannot longer walk），选择一个与ill并列意义的词。故D正确。

3.A考查副词辨析。副词once曾经，以前；already已经；still任然；only仅仅；爸爸以前是一个健康积极的人。故A正确。

4.C考查动词短语辨析。短语take away使（感情，感觉等）消失，带走；throw away丢弃某物（因不用或不需要）；send away把…送往另一地方；put away收好。但是可怕的疾病把这一切都带走了。故C正确。

5.A考查形容词辨析。由上文爸爸体弱多病和下文他说的话，得知爸爸甚至讲话都困难。Impossible过于绝对，只失去说话能力；hopeful没有指望的，绝望的；stressful产生压力的。故A正确。

6.A考查动词辨析。开始交谈，谈论生活，不是笼统地讲担心谁的生活（worry about）,关心谁的生活（care about）,询问谁的生活（ask about）.故A正确。

7.A考查名词辨析。我跟他们讲了我的一个信条（我个人相信的事）(belief).由下文可知不是我的一个什么经验(experience);抱负（ambition）或某个决定（decision）。故A正确。

8.D考查连词辨析。.随着（as)我们长大，我们常常放弃一些东西。表达了人生的无奈之前。故D正确。

9.B考查动词辨析。总的看起来是这样的，因为是一个人的看法及一般情况，语气不是特肯定，又不是某个人的建议或要求，故B之前。

10.C考查动词短语保持。短语speak up（爸爸）突然大声说，说到；turn up拧大，开大；出现；sun up归纳，总结；判断，估量（此前，爸爸并没说话，故不能选）；open up开拓，开辟；开始畅谈，倾吐心事（不是一两句话，更不能突然开始）。故C正确。

11.A考查代词辨析。根据上下文及作者爸爸当时的状况，所谓“美好的事”一无所有了；从外表看只是一个体弱多病，非常难过的老年。故give up everything.正确。

12.A考查副词辨析。爸爸提出一个问题，我以为让我来回答，我正在冥思苦想的时候，他却自己给出了答案，这出乎我的意料。根据语境可知，故A正确。

13.B考查动词辨析。动词accept接受，gain赢得；enjoy喜欢；have拥有；回答针对上面爸爸提出的那个问题：What did I gain?故B正确。

14.C考查动词辨析。动词attract吸引；warn警告；touch感动，触及；astonish使…惊讶；我深受触动，所以改变了我以后的为人处事的方法。故C正确。

15.D考查情态动词辨析。would “过去常常”表示习惯性的行为。我常常记得他的话并保持镇定。故D正确。

16.B考查形容词辨析。一想到爸爸的话，我的内心就平静下来，控制情绪；而不是保持安静(quiet)，放松（relaxed）或高兴(happy).故B正确。

17.C考查形容词辨析。一想到爸爸既然能够用对别人的爱来代替他巨大的疼痛或痛苦这件事，我就必然能够（be able to do）放弃自己的不值一提的易怒情绪。故C正确。

18.B考查动词辨析。这样(in this way),我就从爸爸身上学会了宽容的力量（power of acceptable）。Method指解决某个具体问题的科学的，符合逻辑的方法，通常搭配是with this/that …method.故B正确。

19.C考查动词辨析。现在我想知道，如果我从小的时候起，就认真地听我爸爸的，我还会学到其他什么东西呢？要注意该句用的是虚拟语气。故C正确。
