【解析】繼子的不良行為讓作者傷心難過，并因此常常偷偷哭泣，但是她還是一如既往地履行做母親的責任。在繼子的畢業(yè)典禮上，當繼子把白玫瑰送給她并對她說了一番感激的話時，她感動地流出了幸福的眼淚。

【1】結(jié)合第一段和空格前的內(nèi)容可知，作者又累又挫敗地“倒”在地上。sink有“倒下，坐下”的意思。sink to the floor表示“倒在地上”。

【2】根據(jù)第一段中的“full of burnt holes”可知，Brett經(jīng)�！皻�壞，糟蹋”東西。lose“丟失”；tear“撕碎”；break“打破”。

【3】根據(jù)上下文可知，他經(jīng)常把房間里幾乎所有的東西弄壞。out of danger“脫離危險”；out of place“位置不當，不得體”；out of trouble“脫離困境”；out of order“有毛病，出故障”。故選D。

【4】因為Brett破窗而入偷錢，所以房子的很多扇窗戶都需要修理。break in“強行進入，破門而入”。break off“停止，中斷”；break up“破碎，粉碎”；break away“脫離”。

【5】然而，所有這一切都不能和Brett對我們曾經(jīng)平靜的家造成的情感“傷害”相比。此處與上文提到的物質(zhì)上的損害形成對比。

【6】根據(jù)下文中的“but inside I was shouting”可推知，上文應(yīng)是作者盡可能耐心地對待他。

【7】上文中的“but”表示的是轉(zhuǎn)折意義，而且從“I don't want him in my house another day”可知，作者在內(nèi)心深處無法“忍受”他。

【8】作者把失望和憤怒埋在心底，擦干眼淚，一如既往地對他盡到做父母的職責。此處parent用作動詞表示“做……的父親或母親，教養(yǎng)”。

【9】Brett再次進入少管所表明他經(jīng)常招惹是非，于是，作者夫妻倆不得不把他送入一所管教問題青少年的寄宿學校。troublesome“令人心煩的”。

【10】根據(jù)該空后的“each graduate”可知，應(yīng)是在畢業(yè)典禮上。

【11】每一個畢業(yè)生都要把一支白玫瑰送給對自己來說最重要的人。mean意為“意味著”，符合語意。

【12】根據(jù)下文中他所說的話可推知，Brett深情地對親生父母說話。

【13】無論發(fā)生什么事情，你總是在我身邊。后半句可理解為“no matter what happened”。

【14】雖然我給你添了許多麻煩，但是你仍給我無微不至的關(guān)愛。此處是讓步狀語從句although you were troubled enough by me的省略形式。

【15】語意參見上題解析。show sb sth“對某人表現(xiàn)出……”，符合語境。

【16】作者完全沒有想到Brett竟然把白玫瑰送給了自己，所以感到無比震驚。

【17】Brett發(fā)自肺腑地表達了自己對作者的感激后，“緊緊地”擁抱了作者。

【18】在那一刻，作者熱淚盈眶。gather表示“聚集”，符合語意。

【19】此時此刻，作者不是因為失望而是因為幸福才流眼淚。

【20】此處與第三段中間部分作者內(nèi)心的呼聲相照應(yīng)，表明作者過去在心里對Brett充滿了無聲的憤怒。
