Question

 We arrived at the hospital to find Dad exhausted and weak,but his smile was as sure as ev?er. My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our 1 by Mon?day morning. Local relatives would 2 that Dad got home from the hospital and look in on him regularly and prepare his meals. 3 would make sure he got his daily 4 and take him to his doctor appointments. But I wanted to let him know that we 5 too,even when we weren't with him.

  Then I remembered a family 6 I started when our children were small. When 7 ,their grandparents' home after a visit, each child would 8 a love note in the house for their grandfather or grandmother to find after we were gone. For several days after our 9   ，their grandparents would smile as they 10 these reminders of our love.

  So as I tidied Dad's kitchen and made up a 11for him downstairs in the living room,I began writing notes. Some were 12 "Dad,I froze the casserole(砂鍋菜) in the fridge so it wouldn't go bad.”Some expressed my love. "Dad,I 13 you sleep well in your new bed. " 14 notes were downstairs where he would have to remain for weeks 15 he re?gained strength, but one note I hid 16 under his pillow. " Dad, if you have 17 this note，you must be feeling better. We are so glad！"

  While others cared for Dad's day-to-day needs,we, of course, would stay in touch by 18   . But our notes were a reminder of our love and concern for him. Just like his medicines improved his health 19   ，our notes would improve his spiritual health. Several weeks later, in one of our 20 phone calls, I asked Dad how he was doing. He said, "I'll tell you how I'm doing. I just found your note under my upstairs pillow！"

千萬別說想盡孝卻沒有機(jī)會(huì)。只要有心，無論在哪里，我們都能給親人們送去關(guān)愛。

1.C根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，作者周末到醫(yī)院探視父親,周一前必須返回。工作崗位可以有這種約束力。

2.B這里see相當(dāng)于make sure,當(dāng)?shù)氐挠H屬要接父親出院回家，并定時(shí)去探望，給他做飯。

3.B指代上文local relatives,所以用they。

4.D根據(jù)下文Just like his medicines improved him可知，親戚們還要保證讓父親每天吃藥。

5.A根據(jù)下文作者的實(shí)際行動(dòng)可知,這里作者要通過自己的方式表示關(guān)切。

6.D下一句中的would表示過去的習(xí)慣。因此這里表示作者想起了一個(gè)家庭生活的傳統(tǒng)。

7.A根據(jù)句中的for their grandfather or grand?mother to find after we were gone可知,作者一家在離開父母家時(shí)，她的孩子們都會(huì)藏一個(gè)愛心紙條，以便讓長輩們發(fā)現(xiàn)。

8.B同上。

9.C東西是離開時(shí)藏的。

10.C根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，父母在發(fā)現(xiàn)這些紙條時(shí)，會(huì)非常高興。

11.A客廳本不是睡覺用的，因病人暫不能上樓，才在此搭建臨時(shí)床鋪。第13題挖空句中new bed也可驗(yàn)證答案。

12.C應(yīng)根據(jù)下句留言內(nèi)容的特征來判定本題答案。即某些紙條是實(shí)用性的，是為了方便父親的起居。

13.B "在新床上睡得好"，這是一種表示關(guān)愛的愿望。

14.B此分句(Most notes...) 與下一分句but one note...形成語義對(duì)照。

15.A根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，父親在恢復(fù)體力之前，不方便上樓,只好待在樓下。

16.D most... downstairs與but one... upstairs 相對(duì)照，說明作者將一張紙條藏在了樓上。本句也可說明臥室原本在樓上。

17.A臥室在樓上，如果父親找到臥室中的留言，就說明他有了上樓的力氣。

18.D根據(jù)下文中的phone calls，可知作者和父親是通過電話保持聯(lián)系的。

19.C藥物促進(jìn)了身體康復(fù)，留言改善了精神狀態(tài)。

20.B作者和父親定期通話，這也符合前面所說的stay in touch,
