這篇短文作者分享了她對媽媽的回憶，她的媽媽喜歡做果醬，在她的媽媽去世后，作者得到了媽媽做果醬用的一個罐子，這個罐子能讓她回憶起以前的時光，能讓媽媽永遠活在記憶里。

【1】句意：這些美味的果醬使他們非常的開心。angry 生氣的；disappointed失望的；pleased高興的，愉快的；sad傷心的。根據(jù)上句話Our children grew up on peanut butter (花生醬) and jelly (果醬) sandwiches.可知，作者的孩子是靠花生醬和果醬三明治長大的，由此可知孩子們非常喜歡吃這些果醬，所以應該是高興的。故選C。

【2】句意：我的媽媽是（制作果醬的人）。sister 姐妹；father父親；husband丈夫；mother媽媽。根據(jù)下文Jelly making was just a way of life for her…. This was the last pot we would have from my mother's loving hands. Our children had never known a day without their grandmother's jelly.可知，作者講述了她的媽媽給他們制作果醬，她留下來的一些罐子讓作者回憶起了媽媽在的日子。因此我們可以知道作者的媽媽制作果醬，故應選D。

【3】句意：她總是按照相同的步驟制作果醬—從采摘水果到吧做好的果醬放到架子上。never 從不；always總是；hardly幾乎不；seldom很少。根據(jù)上句話Jelly making was just a way of life for her.可知，制作果醬是媽媽的一種生活方式，因此她總是制作果醬，故應選B。

【4】句意：我們決定把家里的罐子分一下。divide 分開，劃分；sell購買；spare分出，讓出；waste浪費。根據(jù)上文In April, my mother left us forever可知，作者的媽媽離開了他們；再根據(jù)下句話Each of us chose from the many pots of tomato juice, green beans and jelly.可知，我們從很多罐子中選，由此可知他們是把這些罐子分一下，故應選A。

【5】句意：那天我拿出了吃三明治的果醬。ran away 跑開；took out拿出；threw away 扔掉；put away放好，收好。根據(jù)下文the jelly for a quick sandwich …Holding the last pot in my hand,可知，作者拿出了一罐果醬，準備吃三明治，因此應選B。

【6】句意：我突然意識到了我以前沒有注意的事情。searched搜索，搜尋；created創(chuàng)作，創(chuàng)造；discovered發(fā)現(xiàn)；realized意識到。根據(jù)句意可知，這里是作者突然意識到了以前沒有注意到的事情，故應選D。

【7】句意：它好像是這么小的一個東西，但是卻是一個大的財富。or 或者，否則；and 和，而且；but但是；so因此，所以。根據(jù)前后兩句話中such a small thing和a great treasure可知，這兩句話之間的是轉折的關系，故應選C。

【8】句意：手里拿著這最后一個罐子，我的回憶回到了過去的日子。hair 頭發(fā)；memories記憶；hands手；head頭。根據(jù)空后traveled back to the old days.可知，作者的記憶回到了過去的日子，即作者手里拿著罐子，又想起了一起媽媽在的日子。故應選B。

【9】句意：我看見她親吻、擁抱我的孩子們。beating拍打；picking拾起，摘；kissing 親吻；spreading傳播，蔓延。根據(jù)空后的hugging our children可知，作者的媽媽擁抱她的孩子，能和擁抱并列的應該是kissing，親吻，這句話表達了作者的媽媽對她的孩子的喜愛。故應選C。

【10】句意：只要它在那兒，我的媽媽就永遠活著。As long as 只要；As far as遠到…；據(jù)，就；As well as和…一樣好；還有；As soon as一…就…。根據(jù)句意可知，這里的意思是只要罐子在那兒，就會讓作者想起媽媽在的日子，媽媽就好像永遠活著一樣。故這里應用as long as引導條件狀語從句，選A。

這篇短文中作者給我們分享了她對媽媽的回憶，媽媽喜歡做果醬，她去世后留下的這些盛果醬的罐子，總是會讓作者想起以前的日子。短文是記敘文，充滿溫情和親情，讀來非常受感動。文章篇幅雖然不長，語言也很簡單、樸實，卻能讓我們體會出作者對媽媽的愛和想念。題型是完型填空，考查學生們在具體語境中運用語言的能力，綜合性較強。做題時，應先通讀全文，了解大意；然后逐空做題，注意空前后的搭配和上下文的語境提示；最后應再讀一遍短文，檢查答案。做題時要善于發(fā)現(xiàn)和利用文中的信息，從字里行間尋找線索。遵循先易后難的原則，對于比較簡單、一眼能知道答案的要堅決一點；遇到稍難的，可以先跳過去，先做下面簡單的，往往讀到下文，學生們能有所啟發(fā)，前面的難題也就可以解決了。例如第2小題，上句話說作者不做果醬，那么是誰呢？這個問題的答案肯定會在下文有提示，根據(jù)下文Jelly making was just a way of life for her…. This was the last pot we would have from my mother's loving hands. Our children had never known a day without their grandmother's jelly.可知，制作果醬的是作者的媽媽，所以應選D。再如第7小題，這個題目考查的是連詞，根據(jù)句中such a small thing和a great treasure可知，前一句話說這是一個很小的東西，而后面說它是一個巨大的財富，因此這兩句話之間是轉折的關系，故用but。
