(2009年湖南三十二校联考)Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly(天真地)thought __1__him as my “Valentine man”.

My first recollection of the __2__he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift­wrapped package at my chair. The card was __3__“Love, Dad”and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to __4__my birthstone, a ruby(红宝石). There is __5__difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember __6__that ring with pride that all the cards in the world __7__not surpass(超越).

__8__I grew older, the gifts gave __9__to heart­shaped boxes filled with my __10__chocolate and always included a __11__card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank­you became __12__of a perfunctory(敷衍的)response.The cards seemed less __13__, and I took it for granted that the Valentine would __14__be there. I had __15__my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from“significant others”and “Love, Dad”just didn’t seem quite __16__.

His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a __17__of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a __18__of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.

Those things never __19__, nor does the memory of a man who never __20__being my valentine.

1.A.of         B.about

C.up         D.over

解析:选A。think of...as...是固定短语,意为“把……视为/看作……”。

2.A.memory      B.magic

C.puzzle        D.present

解析:选B。语境:我对情人节的记忆最早是从我六岁那年开始的。依据下文的描述可知,作者对这个情人节的记忆特别深刻,所以用magic来描述那种难以忘怀的感觉。

3.A.read        B.written

C.shown       D.signed

解析:选D。卡片上有父亲的签名。该选项从第三段第一句中的“included a...card signed‘Love,Dad’”可得到提示。

4.A.recover       B.resemble

C.represent       D.replace

解析:选C。礼物是一个戒指,上面镶着一片红色的玻璃来代表我的诞生石--红宝石。其他选项不符合语境。

5.A.much       B.little

C.great           D.less

解析:选B。依据下文的with pride可知,该处用little。对一个六岁的孩子而言,红玻璃和红宝石没有什么不同。

6.A.having         B.owning

C.wearing          D.watching

解析:选C。表示佩戴首饰只能用wear。

7.A.could          B.did

C.must           D.should

解析:选A。上文提及作者佩戴这个礼物时的自豪之情,所以这里选A,认为这是最好的,世界上所有的卡片都不能超过它。

8.A.Because         B.Since

C.When          D.As

解析:选D。as在此处引导时间状语从句,意为“随着”。

9.A.room          B.way

C.honour          D.seat

解析:选B。随着我年龄的增加,礼物变成装满了我最喜爱的巧克力的心形盒子。give way to是固定短语,意为“为……所代替”。

10.A.favorite        B.lovely

C.dear          D.precious

解析:选A。该题可采用排除法,修饰巧克力不能用“可爱的;亲爱的;宝贵的”,但可以用“最喜爱的”。

11.A.usual         B.common

C.strange         D.special

解析:选D。父亲的卡片是特殊的,特别的。

12.A.less         B.little

C.more          D.much

解析:选C。该处语境为“而我的感谢越来越成为一种敷衍的回应”。从上下文可知,此处是与以前相对比。

13.A.important      B.beautiful

C.familiar         D.standard

解析:选A。这些贺卡看起来似乎不再那么重要。

14.A.surely        B.always

C.regularly        D.often

解析:选B。我想当然地认为情人节年年都有。正如此,才有了后文的不珍惜及上文提及的说感谢的话也成了敷衍的回应。

15.A.let          B.kept

C.placed         D.remembered

解析:选C。我把希望和梦想放在收到那些来自“重要的其他人”的卡片和礼物上。place意为“(小心或有意)放置,安放”,用在此处能反映出作者当时对父亲的爱的漠视。

16.A.suitable        B.enough

C.effective         D.sacred

解析:选B。来自父亲的贺卡似乎远远不够(满足女儿的需要)。与上文的from “significant others”相照应。

17.A.signal         B.certificate

C.consequence        D.reminder

解析:选D。父亲送我的最后一张卡片在提醒着我:父亲对子女的爱是多么特别又是多么重要。看到父亲的卡片,就想起了父亲和卡片的意义,所以这张卡片具有“提示”的功能,故选D。

18.A.tradition        B.hobby

C.habit           D.custom

解析:选A。由上文可知,父亲一直都在这么做,所以用tradition(传统)。

19.A.lose          B.die

C.miss           D.appear

解析:选B。语境:这些事情永远不会消逝,就如同我对一位男子的记忆,他永远是我的情人。这句话表达了女儿对父亲永远的怀念。die在此表“消逝”。

20.A.thought         B.wanted

C.tried           D.stopped

解析:选D。stop doing sth.“停止做某事”符合语境。stop与上文提及的两个never正好照应。
