答案与解析
母爱无言，妈妈为家庭所做的努力和牺牲让作者体会颇深，使作者学会了独立和设定有一定高度但可达到的目标。
1.B 下文提到“就像你老师说你做得好能跳级一样”可推断，此处指妈妈的公司想提拔妈妈，故选B项。attract “吸引”；promote“提升，提拔”；surprise“吃惊”；praise“表扬”。
2．C 能跳级说明学习很好，故选C项。
3．A 既然要跳级，当然要离开自己的朋友，故选A项。leave“离开”；refuse“拒绝”；contact“联系”；forgive“原谅”。
4．C 整个晚上的其他时间“我”都在想这个问题。explain“解释”；sleep“睡觉”；wonder“想知道，琢磨”；regret“后悔，遗憾”。
5．D “我”首次意识到大人们要做艰难的选择。poor“贫穷的”；timely“及时的”；final“最终的”；tough“困难的，艰难的”。
6．A 前文提到妈妈每天都会给“我”打电话，下文提到“我”告诉她生活中的点滴，故此处表示每天傍晚“我”都会急切地等在电话前。eagerly“急切地”；politely“有礼貌地”；nervously“紧张地”；curiously“好奇地”。
7．B 后文提到作者放假去看望妈妈可知，此处表示的是即使妈妈每天打电话也不能代替她在身边，故选B项。patience “耐心”；presence“在场”；intelligence“智力”；influence“影响”。
8．C 根据下文“how lonely my mother”可知妈妈很孤独，所以她住的公寓应该也是空荡荡的。comfortable“舒服的”；expensive“昂贵的”；empty“空的”；modern “现代的”。

11．B 妈妈要在工作和家庭之间保持平衡。abandon “放弃”； balance“平衡”；compare“比较”；mix“混合”。
12．C 妈妈告诉“我”在面临这些艰难选择时，你不知道你所做的决定是否正确。depend on“取决于；依赖”；supply with“提供”；be faced with“面临，面对”；insist on“坚持”。
13．C 根据passion可知妈妈告诉作者要充分利用所处的境地，要有热情和积极的态度。different“不同的”；friendly“友好的”；positive“积极的”；general“一般的”。
14．D 前文提到“我”意积到妈妈所做的一切有多么困难，回来后“我”不断提醒自己妈妈能做的“我”也能做到，故选D项。criticize“批评”；inform“告诉，通知”；warn“警告”；remind “提醒”。
15．A 如果妈妈能独自在里约热内卢生活，“我”也能独立。manage to do“成功做某事”；offer to do“主动做某事”；attempt to do“试图做某事”；expect to do“希望做某事”。

Living in the tiny __19__ with no television, we sat close together reading and talking. One evening, standing under a jeweled sky, I found myself __20__ for all the hardships. We had walked the trails and climbed the canyon walls. We had become a family!
