Dear God，
Now that I am no longer young，I have friends whose mothers have passed away．I have heard these sons and daughters say they never 2 1 appreciatedtheir mothers until it was too 22 to tell them．
I am 23 with the dear mother who is still allve．I appreciate her 24 each day．My mother does not 25 ，but I do． 26 I grow older and wiser．Irealize what a(n) 27 person she is．How sad that I alil 28 to speak thesewords in her presence，29 they flow easily from my pen．
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for giving her llfe I 30’ For the love，patience and just plain hard work that go into 3 l a child? For32 a toddler，for understanding a moody teenager，for tolerating a college student who thinks she knows 33？ For waiting for the day 34 a daughter realizes her mother really is？
How does a 35 wonlan thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother？For being ready with advice (when asked ) or 36 silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:”I 37you so ,”when she could have spoked these words dozens of 38 ?For being essentially herself-loving ,thoughtful. Patient, and forgiving?
I don’t know how，dear God，except to bless her as richly as she 39 and to help me live up to the example she has set．I pray that 1 will look as good in the eyes of my 40 as my mother looks in mine．

解析：21. A fully完全得，充分的；truly真正地；pinfully 痛苦的；mainly 主要的。此处表示：他们从没有向母亲充分表示过他们的感激之情，而待到要告诉时为时已晚了。
22.C 根据上下文可以判断。
23．D be satisfIed with对……满意;be prepared for为…‘…做准备_bc worried about为……担心．be blessed with在．．．方面有福气，幸运地享有。母亲依然健在，我幸运地享有母爱。
24．B 对母亲的感激之情是不可数的，排除D；此句表示：我对她的感情与日俱增。根据意思，排除A和C。
25．C此处表示：母亲对我的爱没变，而我对母亲的爱却变了。
26 A此处表示：随着年岁的增长。根据意思排除C和D；wih后面不能跟句子，排除B。
27 D ordinary普通的；usual通常的；strict严格的；extraordinary了不起的，非凡的。此处表示：我越来越懂事了，我认识到她是个非常了不起的人。
28．A句意：这些话在她面前我难以启齿，但在笔F却可以轻易地写出来，这令我感到多么难过。
29 C A因此；B否则，要不然；C但是；D然而，但是。根据意思排除A和B；而however需要和后面的句子之间用逗号隔开，故选c。
30．B句意：一个女儿该怎样开口感谢她的母亲所给予的生命?
31．C punish惩罚；blame责备；raise养育(孩子等)；praise表扬。句意：感谢她在抚养孩子时所付出的爱、耐心以及无私的辛勤劳动。
32．A run after追逐；run across偶尔遇见；run out跑出去；用完；run for竞选。句意：感谢她跟在蹒跚学步的孩子身后奔跑。
33．B此处表示：对一个自以为什么都知道的大学生的宽容。
34．B此处是定语从句，关系词在从句中作地点状语，排除A和D；此处when=on witch。
35．A此处表示：一个成年女子该怎样感谫}母亲依然如故的角色?感恩母亲跟女子的高兴程度、受训练的程度，以及举止得体与否没有关系。文章整体强调的是随着年龄增长，做女儿的对母爱体验增强，并且日益感激。故A最合适。
36．D A、B、C都是及物动词，后面不跟形容词，故排除；而remain是系动词，符合意思。
37．B此处表示：感谢她没有说：“我告诉过你，”而她本来可以说上许多次，这里强调母亲对孩子的耐心。
38．A根据上下文可以判断。
39．C句意：我不知道该怎样来表达，亲爱的上帝，除了请求你好好地保佑她——那是她该得到的——并帮助我朝她做出的榜样看齐。
40．B句意：我祈愿在孩子的眼里我会如同母亲在我眼里一般好。
