【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者和哥哥小的时候不仅偷偷的拿出红药水涂在哥哥受伤的膝盖处还把红药水涂在身体不舒服的妈妈的身体多个部位上，当妈妈醒来时，看到镜子里的自己时，忍不住大笑起来。如果有人问起这件事，他们会坚持说妈妈的病已经被红药水的魔力治愈了。这样的令人搞笑的事情使兄妹领略到了红药水的魔力。

1.考查名词辨析。A. matters事情；B. worries； C. troubles麻烦；D. wounds伤口。句意：这有利于伤口、抓伤或其他伤口的愈合。or连接的是表示伤口类型的三个词，所以由“ cuts, scratches (抓痕)”可知，other应接wounds。wound指的是“刀伤，枪伤”。故D选项切题。

2.考查动词辨析。A. marked做记号；B. proved证明；C. collected收集； D. ignored忽略。句意：我和我哥哥在许多年前测试并证明了红药水的力量。由下文可知，红药水可以让伤口愈合，也可以让妈妈看到自己全身都是红药水后突然大笑，这都证实了红药水的力量。故B选项切题。

3.考查副词辨析。A. suddenly倜然地；B. gradually逐渐地；C. hardly几乎不； D. extremely非常。句意：妈妈身体不舒服，非常疲惫。由“not feeling well”可知，妈妈感觉不舒服，所以判断出之前妈妈已经感到很累了。 extremely为副词修饰形容词tired。故D选项切题。

4.考查动词短语辨析。A. lie down躺下；B. settle down定居；C. go down 下降； D. look down向下看。句意：她告诉我们她要躺在床上休息。有下文“flat on her back”可知，妈妈是平躺在床上的。所以判断出妈妈要躺在床上休息。故A选项切题。

5.考查动词辨析。A. doubted怀疑；B. learnt学习；C. noticed注意到；D. recognized认出。句意：几分钟过去了，罗尼注意到膝盖上有一处划痕，需要立即处理。notice“注意到”表示划痕不是很严重，所以才有了下文的涂红药水。故C选项切题。

7.考查形容词辨析。A. Round圆的；B. Tight紧的；C. Wide宽的；D. Flat平的。句意：妈妈平躺在床上，睡得很沉，没有回答。flat on her back“平躺”。符合句意。故D选项切题。

11.考查连词辨析。A. before在……之前；B. unless除非；C. until直到；D. since既然。句意：然后我们低声说，既然妈妈感觉不舒服，或许红药水会使她感觉更好些。分析句子可知，前后句子句意上为因果关系，所以用连词since。故D选项切题。

12.考查形容词比较急辨析。A. better更好的；B. rarer较稀少的；C. worse更糟糕的； D. stranger更奇怪的。句意：然后我们低声说，因为妈妈感觉不太好，或许红药水会让她感觉好些。由前文“Undoubtedly, he immediately began to feel better. ”可知，罗尼的膝盖在涂抹红药水后，他感觉更好了。所以他们判断妈妈要是涂上红药水也会感觉更好。故A选项切题。
