Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents．They are very busy working to 36_ the family．They don’t act in the _37 ways that I read in books or I see on TV． 38 flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more 39 ．
One day，my mother was sewing a quilt．I 40 sat down beside her and looked at her．“Mom，is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a 41 voice.
My mother stopped and raised her head with 42 _ in her eyes．She didn’t answer immediately．Then she 43 her head and continued to sew the quilt．At last my mother said:
“Susan,” she said，“Look at this thread．Sometimes it appears，but most of it 44 in the quilt．The thread really makes the quilt strong and 45 ．If life is a quilt，then love should be a 46 ．It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime，but it’s really there．Love is 47 .”
The next spring，my father suddenly got sick seriously．When they returned from the hospital，mother looked rather pale and it seemed 48 of them had had a serious illness．Every day in the morning and dusk，my mother helped my father 49 slowly on the country road．My father had never been so 50 ．Along the country road，there were many beautiful flowers，green grass and trees．The sun gently glistened through the leaves．All of these 51 the most beautiful picture in the world.
“Dad，how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
He said gently．“ 52 ，I just like walking with your mom．I like this kind of life.” 53 his eyes，I know he loves my mother deeply.
54 I thought love meant flowers，gifts and sweet kisses．But from this 55 ，I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life．Love is inside，making life strong and warm.

网友回答
(答案→)B
解析：
【小题1】．B support是“抚养；维持”之意，keep是“保持”；hold意为“容纳”；而live on表示“以……为食”，都不符合句意。
【小题2】．A 他们从未像我在书中读到，或在电视中看到的那样有浪漫的举止。
【小题3】D 这句话意为“更不用说在情人节送花这样的事了”。send flowers是“送花”。
【小题4】．C 根据句意，此处表示“不可能”，用out of the question；out of question是“没问题”。
【小题5】．A 我静静地看着她。
【小题6】．B 由上句中的silently，可以判断此处应是in a low voice，才能符合语境。
【小题7】．D 听了“我”的问题，母亲应该是感到“惊讶”。
【小题8】．A 上文是she raised her head，所以then she bowed her head and continue，bow表示“低下”；选项C的形式不对，应是hung；lower有“使……低下”之意，所以都可排除。
【小题9】．C 由上文Sometimes it appears, but …，所以此处要用disappear。
【小题10】．B 这些线使被子坚固耐用。lasting是形容词，表示“耐用的”。
【小题11】．C 如果生活就像一床被子，那么爱就是其中的线。
【小题12】．D 此处意为“爱是内在的”，已经由谈论线和被子升华的了“爱”上。
【小题13】．B 两个人应该用“both”。
【小题14】．A 母亲都会搀扶着父亲在乡村的小路上漫步。
【小题15】．C 父亲从未如此温和过。careful只是表示“细心”，不符合句意。
【小题16】．D 此句意为“这一切形成了一幅世间最美好的画面”，make up是“构成，组成”之意；e up是“出现”；turn up是“露面”；call up是“打电话”，都可以排除。
【小题17】．B 说实话，我喜欢与你妈妈一块散步的感觉。on the contrary是“相反地”，不符合句意。
【小题18】．B read有“读懂”之意，而watch和observe都表示“观察”，可以排除。
【小题19】．A once意为“从前，曾经，一度”。
【小题20】．D 此句意为“但是经历了这些后，我理解了……”，experience表示“经历；阅历”。选项中的matter表示“（抽象的）事情”，所以可以排除。
