　　Immediately，he said，“Yes.Last Christmas you promised us a special __2__ that we really wanted but you __3__ gave it to us.”

　　The __4__ was that I'd completely forgotten about it.I __5__，“Is there anything else I've done wrong，but I haven't apologized for?”

　　Again，his __6__ was immediate，“Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the __7__ because Kate，my little sister，was going to be born? You left us at home and __8__ in a hurry.Remember?”

　　“Well，you left and __9__ the suitcase.” I couldn't believe he __10__ all the details! “After you came back from the hospital，you were __11__ to see the suitcase had been opened and __12__ had been thrown all over the place，and then you __13__ me.”

　　“And you didn't do it?”I asked.

　　“No，I didn't.I was just searching for my gift.”

　　My heart sank.I felt __14__.I hugged Bill and asked him to __15__ me.His honesty made me think of my other son，Kevin.Maybe I'd hurt his feelings，too.I went to ask him the __16__ question.Kevin answered as immediately as his __17__，“Last Christmas you __18__ us a special toy，but you forgot about it.”

　　__19__ Christmas had passed，I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised.The __20__ thing wasn't the toy.The problem was that I had made a promise too rashly (輕率地) and didn't keep it as their father.

　　【語篇解讀】 這是篇夾敘夾議的記敘文。作者答應圣誕節(jié)給兒子買玩具，可是并沒有遵守諾言，這讓兒子非常不滿。文章通過作者和兒子不經(jīng)意間的交流，使人們認識到在家庭教育中“言出必行”的重要性。

　　1.A.showed B.hurt C.attended D.expressed

　　答案　B　[由上文的“I sensed that something was wrong between Bill ...and me”可知，此處表示“我”想知道自己做了什么事情“傷害”了兒子。文章倒數(shù)第二段的“I'd hurt his feelings，too”也是提示。]

　　2.A.candy B.book C.picture D.toy

　　答案　D　[由下文倒數(shù)第二段中的“Last Christmas you __18__us a special toy，but you forgot about it.”可知，“我”曾經(jīng)許諾給兒子買“玩具”。]

　　3.A.never B.often C.always D.ever

　　答案　A　[由下文的“I'd completely forgotten about it”以及Kevin的話“...but you forgot about it.”可知，“我從沒有”給兒子買曾經(jīng)許諾過的玩具。] 4.A.challenge B.message C.idea D.fact

　　答案　D　[該句的意思是：“事實”是“我”完全忘記了這件事情，所以用fact。]

　　5.A.complained B.apologizedC.continued D.explained

　　答案　C　[根據(jù)空格后面的內(nèi)容可知，“我接著”問問題，所以C正確。]

　　6.A.suggestion B.answer C.action D.blame

　　答案　B　[本段中的again是關鍵詞，與上文的“Immediately，he said”呼應。此處要表示的是Bill 立即“回答”了“我”的第二個問題。]

　　7.A.hospital B.church C.school D.garden

　　答案　A　[根據(jù)“凱特要出生”的事實，再聯(lián)系第五段中的“Afer you came back from the hospital”可知此處表示要去“醫(yī)院”。]

　　8.A.settled down B.went onC.set off D.got up

　　答案　C　[由in a hurry以及下一段的left可知，“我”應該是“出發(fā)，動身(set off)”。]

　　答案　B　[“我”急匆匆地離開家， “忘了”帶手提箱。]

　　10.A.knew B.imaginedC.discovered D.remembered

　　答案　D　[Bill能如此清晰地“記得”這些細節(jié)，這使“我”大為驚訝。]

　　12.A.nothing B.somebody C.everything D.nobody

　　答案　C　[根據(jù)下文“thrown all over the place”可推知，應該是“所有的東西”都被翻了出來。]

　　13.A.praised B.punished C.helped D.educated

　　答案　B　[“我”回到家，發(fā)現(xiàn)手提箱被打開了，東西扔得滿地都是，大為惱火，于是“懲罰”了Bill。]

　　14.A.terrible B.hopeless C.inspired D.encouraged

　　答案　A　[根據(jù)上文的“My heart sank”可知，后面是“I felt terrible”;hopeless表示“絕望”，不符合語境。]

　　15.A.support B.criticize C.suspect D.forgive

　　答案　D　 [由兒子的回答可知，“我”錯怪了兒子，所以請他“原諒我”。]
