“Come back next week,” I hesitated a bit.
He came,and I suggested we play a game of chess.He 7 .After that we played 8 every time,in plete 9 and without making any eye contact.It’s not 10 to cheat in chess,but I admit that I made sure David won 11 .
It seemed as if he enjoyed my 12 .But why did he never look at me？Perhaps he sensed that I respected his suffering.I kept wondering and 13with him,until some months later, 14 ,

解析：
【小题1】A 考查动词词义辨析。此处表示一个小男孩出现在等候室。rise up起义；go up上升；put up搭起。
【小题2】B 考查动词词义辨析。根据下文的“sad”和“suffering”以及小孩的表现可知,他“失去”了父母,B项符合语境。miss思念；love爱；respect尊重。
【小题3】C 考查动词。根据前面的sad和下文反复提到的小孩不说话的举动可知,C项符合语境。prefer to do更喜欢做；try to do努力做；expect to do期待着做。
【小题4】D 考查动词。小孩不说话只是抬头看着墙上的画。glance at迅速地瞄一眼；stare at凝视；wake up醒来。
【小题5】A 考查连词的用法。此处表示在小孩第二次来访后要走的时候。
【小题6】B 考查名词的用法。此处指作者把手放到小孩的肩膀上。其他的词在此处不符合语境。back背部；face脸部；hand手。
【小题7】C 考查动词的用法。根据下文可知,小孩同意了作者的建议,所以C项为最佳。cry哭泣；smile微笑；wonder想知道。
【小题8】D 考查上下文联系。根据上文“we play a game of chess”可知,选D项。violin小提琴；cards纸牌游戏；basketball篮球。

【小题10】B 考查形容词的用法。作者想让小孩赢,以恢复他的信心,但是作者要想输得不露痕迹,也是件不容易的事。
【小题11】C 考查语境理解。结合语境可知,此处表示作者想让小孩赢一两次。now and then不时；more or less大约；all the time一直。
【小题12】D 考查名词的用法。此处表示小孩喜欢和作者在一起。game游戏；success成功；cheat骗子。
【小题13】A 考查动词的用法。结合上下文可知,此处应是作者和小孩继续一起玩。pete竞争；argue争吵；fight打架。
【小题14】B 考查副词的用法。此处表示小孩抬头看他,对于作者来说很突然。naturally天然地；impatiently不耐烦地；angrily生气地。
【小题15】C 考查具体语境中动词的辨析。结合上下文可知,C符合。laugh笑；sing唱歌；sleep睡。
【小题16】D 考查上下文联系。下文提到letters,故此处选D项。article文章；position作文；email电子邮件。
【小题17】A 考查动词的用法。此处表示小孩在给作者写了一些信之后,就停止写了。这表示小孩已经开始了自己的生活。arrive到达；post邮寄；continue继续。
【小题18】B 考查名词的用法。此处意为“时间是怎样医治人的痛苦的”。money金钱；hate憎恨；fame声誉。
