【分析】
本文主要通过讲述七十岁汤姆生日时,希望孩子们能在身边陪他一起过生日,呼吁人们要多陪陪父母,因为血浓于水。
1 .
句意:但是没有人和他在一起。
in 在 …… 里面; with 和 …… 一起; over 在 …… 上面; about 关于。根据 “He feels very disappointed.” 可推断,应该是没有人和他在一起。故选 B 。
2 .
句意:虽然蛋糕很好吃,但他不想碰它。
Although 虽然; Because 因为; If 如果; Since 因为。根据 “…the cake is very delicious, he doesn’t want to touch it.” 可知,空格所在句的前后句构成了转折,用 “although” 引导让步状语从句。故选 A 。
3 .
句意:他只期望他的孩子们能来和他 d 待在一起。
expects 期望; hopes 希望; makes 使; notices 注意。 expect sb. to do sth. 期望某人做某事。故选 A 。
4 .
句意:现在,许多人很忙,很少去看望父母。
usually 通常; often 经常; seldom 很少; always 总是。根据 “many people are so busy” 可推断,很多人忙,所以 “ 很少 ” 看望父母。故选 C 。
5 .
句意:然而,血浓于水。
less 更少; more 更多; much 许多,修饰比较级; little 少量。根据 “Our dear parents make every effort to bring us up, so we are supposed to treat them well when they become old.” 可推断,空格处要表达血比水 “ 更 ” 浓, “thicker” 是比较级,用 “much” 修饰。故选 C 。
