答案及解析：
1. A。句意為：“他們忙著掙錢，以便能夠支付我和我的弟弟需要的高昂學(xué)費(fèi)?！盿fford和can/could 連用表示“付得起錢或抽得出時(shí)間”。

2．C。句意為：“他們沒(méi)有按照我在書中讀到的或在電視中看到的浪漫的方式做事。act做事，行事。

3. B。由于作者有一個(gè)嚴(yán)肅的問(wèn)題想問(wèn)母親，所以她靜靜地坐在母親旁邊。

4. D。從后文的問(wèn)句可知答案從B或D中選擇。考查question和problem的區(qū)別。對(duì)于讓對(duì)方回答的問(wèn)題要用question。

5. C。 由于這個(gè)問(wèn)題很嚴(yán)肅，所以作者只能用低低的聲音問(wèn)。

6. A。作者的母親沒(méi)有想到作者會(huì)問(wèn)這樣的一個(gè)問(wèn)題，所以剛聽到的時(shí)候母親眼中充滿了驚奇。

7. B。從后句中的“我很尷尬和我不知道要做什么”，我們可以知道作者不知道自己是否傷害了母親，所以該空用confused表示“困惑的，不清楚的”。

8. D。過(guò)了一會(huì)兒，母親語(yǔ)氣柔和地說(shuō)道。在這樣一個(gè)充滿溫情的情景中，說(shuō)話的聲音自然是很輕很柔和的。

9. C。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境知道是指線，有時(shí)露出被子，有時(shí)隱藏在被子中。

10. D。后文的句子I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.暗示答案用life，作者把生活比喻為被子。

11. D。文章講的是父母之間是否有愛，所以用love。愛是內(nèi)在的，是用實(shí)際行動(dòng)來(lái)灌溉的。

12. D。get injured 受傷。

13. B。由下文中的help Dad walk slowly on the country road可知父親受傷后不能正常地到處行走。

14. A。考查with復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，在該句中用with復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)表示伴隨。

15. C。落葉和母親攙扶父親行走的畫面構(gòu)成了世界上最美麗的圖畫。

16. A。read可以做“理解，讀懂”，如：read one's thought等。

17. B。recover受傷后的恢復(fù)健康。

18. A。從前句中的but可知父親沒(méi)有恢復(fù)健康，而是平靜地離開了人世。pass away去世。

19. B。過(guò)去作者認(rèn)為愛意味著鮮花等，但是現(xiàn)在作者理解了愛的真正含義，所以答案為B。

20. C。從這次經(jīng)歷中作者明白了愛的真正含義。
