As time goes on, I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers 1 it was too late to tell them. I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I 2 her more each day. My mother does not change, but I 3 . As I grow older and wiser, I realize 4 an extraordinary' person she is. How 5 that I am unable to speak these words in her 6 , but they flow easily from my pen.
As a daughter, how to thank her mother for life itself?? For the love, patience and just 7 hard work that go into 8 a child? For running after a toddler (学走步的小孩), for understanding a 9 teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows 10 ? For waiting for the day when a daughter 11 how wise her mother really is?
How does a 12 woman thank a mother for 13 to be a mother? For being ready 14 advice when asked or remaining 15 when it is most appreciated? For not saying, “I told you so,” when she could have said these words 16 ? For being 17 herself-loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving? I don' t know how, dear God, except to ask you to bless her as richly as she 18 and to help me live up to the example she has 19 . I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother 20 in mine.

(答案→)1-- 20 CBADA BBADC DDCBA CBCAD 解析：本文是一篇抒情类的文章。作者通过回忆母亲在养育女儿过程中付出的辛苦和努力，为女儿长大继续成为母亲树立了榜样，感受到了母爱的伟大。这类题材的文章也具有较强的时代感，根据网络民意调查可知，网络十大热门话题中，“母亲节”被列为第一项，由此可知人们越来越强烈地关注家庭、父母与子女之间的亲情。此类丈章让人读起来有感可发、有情可抒。题目的设置覆盖面广，比如本篇文章中出现了语法题(1、3、4小题)；词汇运用题(6、7、8、11等小题)；行文逻辑题(2、5、20小题)；生活常识题(9、10题)。1．C语法运用题。此处的意思应是“我曾听这些孩子们说过，他们从没有向母亲充分表达过他们的感激之情，而等到要告诉时为时已晚”，until引导时间状语从句，表示“直到……为止”。2．B行文逻辑题。联系上下文，从第一段中的“they never fully appreciated their mothers”可知此处应选appreciate。3．A语法运用题。此处用do替代逗号之前的change。4．D语法运用题。此处应为what引导的名词性从句，作realize的宾语。5．A行文逻辑题。根据上下文以及生活常识判断，此处的意思是：我不能当着母亲的面说出这些话，这令我感到难过。B．glad“高兴的”；C．comic“滑稽的”；D．tragic“悲惨的，悲剧的”，均不符合题意。6．B词汇运用题。此处in her presence指当着母亲的面。7．B词汇运用题。plain hard work指的是一位母亲在养育孩子过程中所付出的日常平凡的劳动。A．common“一般的，常见的”；B．plain“平凡的，普通的”；C．normal“标准的，正规的”；D．usual“通常的”，指频度。8．A词汇运用题。此处raising a child意为“养育孩子”。raise是及物动词，后面接a child作宾语。rise是不及物动词；develope“发展”；train“培训”，均不合句意。9．D生活常识题。当我们还是孩子时，性情总是变幻无常的，所以此处要用moody。A．childish“孩子气的”，不能再修饰teenager；B．energetic“精力充沛的”，与上下文作者要表明的观点不符；C．fearless“无所畏惧的”，也与本文的话题无关。10．C生活常识题。与上一句相比较，我们是孩子的时候，不谙世事。大学毕业后，我们长大了，什么都知道了，所以此处应用everything。11．D词汇运用题。等待女儿意识到母亲有多么聪明的那一天? A．detects“察觉，发觉，侦查”；B．discovers“发现”；C．recognizes“辨认出”；D．realizes“意识到”。故此处应用D项。12．D词汇运用题。联系上下文的内容，此处应是用grown表示一位成熟的女性。13．C词汇运用题。儿女虽已长大，但母亲依旧还是他们的母亲，所以此处要用continuing to be a mother。14．B词汇运用题。ready和with连用，意为“愿意(做某事)的，乐意(给某物)的”。15．A情景判断题。此处的情景是指，母亲随时给儿女们的一些生活中的忠告，并且认为这是天经地义的事情，当被儿女感激的时候不以为然，所以此处remaining silent意为“保持沉默，不表态”。16．C词汇运用题。此处意为“本来她可以说上许多次时”。dozens of times表示“几十次”，注意dozen前面有确切的数字时，dozen不变复数形式，直接放在复数名词前面。17．B词汇运用题。being essentially herself意为“母亲本质上就是……”。A．valuably“有价值地”；C．naturally“自然地”；naturally“实际地”，均不合句意。18．C词汇运用题。此处的意思是“母亲应该得到的最衷心的祝福”。A．devotes“专注于，致力于”；B．deserts“遗弃”；D．desires“期望，希望”，均不合句意。 19．A词语搭配题。Set an example“树立榜样”，属固定搭配。其他选项不与example搭配。 20．D行文逻辑题。句意：我祈愿自己在孩子心目中的形象，就像我母亲在我心目中的那样美好。

就是这个解释
