【解析】

本文介绍了母亲由于感冒而没有做晚饭。是由自己的孩子们放学后做的。在做饭的过程中，有孩子们的笑声，有摔碎东西的声音，还有照顾baby的声音。甚至有狗把晚餐都吃了的情况发生。最后孩子们微笑着，给他们的母亲端来了一杯水，三个豆子，一个冷煮土豆和一小块烧肉。这些食物虽然简单，但是里面有爱心的存在。可以说这是妈妈吃的最好的一顿饭。

1.句意：准备晚餐的肉。A. tea茶水；B. breakfast早餐；C. lunch午餐；D. dinner晚餐。根据Right after lunch, Mother found she had got a cold. 午饭后，妈妈发现她感冒了。和句子“What about dinner?” “晚餐怎么样？”说明午饭吃完了。因此妈妈应该是准备晚餐的肉。故选D。

2.句意：然后门“砰”地一声开了，孩子们放学回家了。A. father父亲；B. cleaners清洁工；C. children孩子们；D. dog狗。根据下文的句子“Mom! Mom! Where are you?” “Didn’t you even get up yet?” “What about dinner?” “妈妈！妈妈！你在哪？”“你还没起床吗？”“晚餐怎么样？”

可知，应该是孩子们放学回家了。故选C。

3.句意：我要把一切都留给你们。A. you你们，人称代词宾格形式；B. me我，人称代词宾格形式；C. her她的，形容词性的物主代词；D. him他，人称代词宾格形式。本题考查leave sth. to sb. 把某物留给某人。to是方向介词，后跟人称代词宾格形式，排除C；根据“Wonderful! ” “No problem!” The children ran off ___4___. “太好了！”没问题！”孩子们兴奋地跑掉了。可知，因为母亲病了，所以是把所以的事情都留给了孩子们。故选A。

4.句意：“太好了！”没问题！”孩子们兴奋地跑掉了。A. excitedly兴奋地；B. sadly不幸地；C. quietly安静地；D. angrily生气地。根据答语“Wonderful! ” “No problem!”“太好了！”没问题！”可知，孩子们是很高兴地接受了任务，所以是兴奋地跑掉了。故选A。

5.句意：事实上，似乎有一个聚会正在进行，伴随着孩子们大声的笑声。A. in在……里；B. with和……在一起；C. from来自于……；D. under在……下面。根据But everyone else seemed great. 但其他人似乎都很棒。可知，孩子们做起事来是有说有笑的，因此笑声是从孩子们那里传来的。故选择from来自于；是指笑声的来源。故选C。

6.句意：然后一个声音喊道：“在他割伤自己之前，把孩子弄到一边去。别打断妈妈的休息！”A. after在…后；B. before在…以前；C. when什么时候；D. until直到…为止。根据There was a sudden crash(破碎声).突然有一个破碎声。可知，孩子们在做劳动的时候，不知摔了什么东西，因此才会有破碎声，为了防止伤到小孩（Take care of the baby.），因此是在孩子伤害自己之前，把他弄走。故选B。

7.句意：他们弄掉了你的盘子，狗把你的晚餐都吃光了。A. made制造；B. dropped使落下；C. sold出售；D. changed改变。根据the dog ate all your dinner. 狗把你的晚餐都吃光了。可知，盘子是掉在了地上，狗才会把晚餐吃光的。因此选择dropped使落下；故选B。

9.句意：突然间，母亲感觉很好，很高兴。A. tired疲劳的；B. afraid害怕的；C. weak虚弱的；D. great开心，高兴。由句子There is a glass of water, three beans, a cold boiled potato and a small piece of burned meat. 有一杯水，三个豆子，一个冷煮土豆和一小块烧肉。可以推知，这些食物可以说是最简单的了，但对于初次做饭的孩子们来说已经是很不容易的了，因此妈妈应该是感到很开心。故此选择D。

10.句意：“一切都很好吃，”妈妈笑着说。“谢谢你，孩子们。我现在感觉好多了。”A. tastes尝起来；B. looks看起来；C. smells闻起来；D. sounds听起来。根据上文的句子As the children watched carefully, she ate her cold dinner. 当孩子们仔细观看时，她吃了一顿冷餐。这句话说明了孩子们把饭送母亲跟前后，而没有马上离开，而是看着（watched carefully）妈妈吃下去的；对于母亲来说，即使再不好吃，也不会说出口的，因此才有了下文的句子“Everything ___10___ so good,” Mom smiled. “Thank you, my kids. I feel better now.”这是母亲用实际行动给了孩子们极大的鼓励。因此选择tastes尝起来；故选A。
