“It’s the doll that my _____ loved most. I wanted to_______her for her Birthday.” His eyes were so _____while saying this.“My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could _____the doll with her to give it to my sister.”

7.考查上下文串联。根据第9空后句“My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too”可知小男孩的季节已经去世了，他的母亲也即将离世，他希望妈妈能够把这个娃娃带给他的姐姐。故A项正确。

12.考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是photo，定语从句he was laughing的结构很完整，所以要用关系副词where引导定语从句，相当于in which。在照片里小男孩在大笑。故C项正确。

13.考查动词辨析。A. remember记得；B. forget忘记；C. miss思念，错过；D. see看见；小男孩希望妈妈把照片也带着，以便于他的姐姐不会忘记他。故B项正确。

14.考查介词。介词with sb意为“和某人在一起”，男孩希望妈妈不要离开他，爸爸告诉他妈妈要和姐姐待在一起。故A项正确。

20.考查语法。句意：我突然想起来，那就是在那起严重的事故里妈妈和姐姐都去世的小男孩。本句中it是形式主语，真正的主语是that所引导的主语从句，that引导主语从句在句中不充当任何成分。故C项正确。
