Dconversation【解题导语】你以为你对他的爱很深沉，这是你了解的；你不了解的是，他对你的爱比你的深沉一万倍。对父母的爱，要怎么才说得出口？别太晚。如果没有勇气当面表达，就写封信来告诉他。1B四年前作者发现父亲身患癌症，癌细胞已经扩散，因此，此处指不知道还能活多久。how long you had left是“你还剩下多长时间”的意思，left用作后置定语。故选B项。2C根据该空后的people older than me可判断，作者以为父(母)亲垂死这件事只会发生在比他年龄更大的人身上。故选C项。3Din doubt意为“怀疑”；in anger意为“生气地”；in vain 意为“徒劳无益地”；in shock意为“震惊地；吃惊地”。听到父亲患癌这件事，作者当然是长时间地感到震惊。故选D项。刷有所得方法：做完形填空题时，有些题要注意该空前后的介词、副词等。有时需要分别把选项与前后的介词、副词相搭配，再判断它们搭配后哪个短语的意思更符合上下文的逻辑。4A根据下文But there was nothing I could do.可知，作者什么都做不了，由此可推测，此处指作者感到无能为力。powerless意为“无能为力的”；nervous意为“紧张不安的；焦虑的”；lost意为“迷路的；不知所措的”；bored意为“厌烦的；烦闷的”。根据语境可知选A项。5A根据下文and take the cancer out可知，此处指作者希望可以进入父亲的身体拿走癌细胞。reach into意为“伸进；伸入”；turn to意为“转向；求助于”；stand by意为“袖手旁观；支持”；look into意为“调查”。故选A项。6B根据该空后面的You reacted well to treatment and youre still here可知，作者的父亲对治疗反应很好并且依然还活着，所以作者一家感觉是幸运的(lucky)。故选B项。confused意为“困惑的；混乱的”；active意为“积极的”；hopeless意为“没有希望的”。7C父亲的治疗效果很好，“我们”很幸运，虽然不知道父亲还能坚持多久，但是他还活着。better意为“更好”；deeper意为“更深”；longer意为“更长久”；further意为“更远”。故选C项。8B根据设空后的everything youve given me可知，作者在此表达对父亲的感激之情。eager意为“渴望的；热切的”；grateful意为“感激的”；regretful意为“遗憾的；后悔的”；desperate意为“绝望的”。故选B项。9D句意为：好像在我们的父子关系上就是这不成文的规则阻止了这句话被说出口。unwritten rule意为“不成文的规则”，符合语境。故选D项。10A根据下文的Youre a man conservative和You keep them to yourself可知，父亲很保守，所以这一不成文的规则阻止了父爱的表达。prevent意为“阻止；防止”；change意为“改变”；destroy 意为“破坏；摧毁”；transform意为“使改观；使转化”。故选A项。11Bguarded意为“谨慎的”，结合下文的You keep them to yourself可知，此处指父亲是一个保守的、对情感(feelings)谨慎的人。conservative and guarded with your feelings作后置定语，修饰前面的a man。故选B项。illness意为“疾病”；belongings意为“所有物”；opinion意为“观点”。12B根据前文对父亲的描述conservative, guarded with your _可知，父亲收敛自己的感情，希望别人也这样做。require意为“要求”；expect意为“期望；盼望”；allow意为“允许”；persuade意为“劝说；说服”。故选B项。13C根据下文的Ive seen your proud looks可知，父亲是很在意儿子的。lie意为“撒谎”；understand意为“理解”；care意为“在意；在乎”；fear意为“害怕”。故选C项。14A根据前面的your proud looks可知，父亲自豪的应该是作者取得的成就(achievements)。故选A项。difficulty意为“困难”；goal意为“目标”；experience意为“经历”。15D根据设空后的when things havent gone well及I remember all the offers of help.可知，当事情进展不顺利时，父亲会主动提供帮助，因此可知，父亲是关心儿子的。power意为“力量；权力”；anger意为“愤怒；生气”；curiosity意为“好奇心”；concern意为“担心；忧虑”。故选D项。16D结合下文I wish you could tell me youre _ and I could tell you I love you.可知，作者希望父亲能够告诉他父亲是如何想的，作者也能告诉父亲作者爱他。由此可推测，此处指作者希望能够与父亲谈论他们对彼此意味着(mean)什么。故选D项。17C根据上文的your proud looks可知，此处指作者希望父亲能够告诉他父亲为他而自豪。conservative意为“守旧的；保守的”；brave意为“勇敢的”；proud 意为“骄傲的；自豪的”；helpful 意为“有帮助的”。故选C项。18A根据上一题解析及空后的masculinity可知，此处指作者希望这些荒谬的大男子观念不会在他和父亲的心中根深蒂固。absurd意为“荒唐的；可笑的”，符合语境。故选A项。important意为“重要的”；useful意为“有用的”；popular意为“流行的”。19C根据语境可知，此处指作者希望这样的大男子观念不要根深蒂固。lost in意为“迷失在”；trapped in意为“陷入”；rooted in意为“植根于；深植于”；covered in意为“被覆盖”故选C项。20D根据上文的talk about可知，此处指作者与父亲的谈话(conversation)。故选D项。四、单句改错1With the electricity being cut off, all the machines had to stop
