C．value 答案 A
解析 根据上下文得知作者起初以自己的方式评价别人的爱，以为别人的方式都不正确、不合理，包括男朋友父母的、自己父亲的和朋友的，因此此处提到男朋友父母的表达方式起初应为作者不欣赏和不喜欢的，故排除B、C、D三项。句意为：对于拜访我男朋友的父母，我记忆(remember)最多的是餐厅闹钟的滴答声。 2．A.excitedly
C．silently 答案 C
解析 由后面的With so little conversation可知，作者与男朋友一家人吃饭时他们很少说话，故用silently。 3．A.regard
C．find 答案 A
解析 regard...as...意为“把??看作/当作．..”。由于表达爱的方式不一样，作者把男朋友家人用餐时的少言寡语当成冷漠。 4．A.bus
C．car 答案 C
解析 由下文父亲为儿子“wash windscreen”可知作者和男朋友是开车回去的。 5．A.Punctually
C．Proudly 答案 B
解析 作者原来以为男朋友的父亲很冷漠，而现在却“...feel he is a caring man through the glass.”能够改变其看法的应该是细心地(carefully)擦车这一动作。punctually准时地；proudly自豪地；coldly冷漠地。 6．A.visited
答案 D
解析 根据下文“...when I answered the phone.”可知，D项符合语境。 7．A.greeting
C．apology 答案 A
解析 父亲在电话中指导作者如何买东西而没有给她令人愉悦的问候(greeting)，曾经这也是作者对父亲的误解原因。meeting会议；apology道歉；explanation解释，说明。
B．meeting D．explanation
B．interrupted D．telephoned
C．warned
B．Carefully D．Coldly
B．train D．plane
B．treat D．think
B．nervously D．instantly
B．enjoy D．admire

答案 B
解析 根据下文“...we often quarreled.”可知，他的方式惹恼了作者。 9．A.long
答案 B

C．blamed 答案 D
解析 根据上句“But one day，I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his ____ morning calls.”可知，父亲下次让作者买股票时，自然要感谢他了。 11．A.content
C．curious 答案 D
解析 根据前半句“When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends...”可知，作者因自己的社交方式和朋友不同而失望。 12．A.in order
答案 C
解析 作者的朋友表达关爱的方式与作者不一样，因此，对比其朋友，作者的方式应该是及时地(without delay)回电话。 13．A.feeling
C．judgment 答案 C
解析 “She wasn’t a good friend！”是作者对朋友作出的评价，而不是对朋友的感情、提议或信念。 14．A.disappeared
C．helped 答案 B
解析 “My anger ____ as the holidays approached.”与“But then...”构成转折关系。“But then...”所在的一句及下文说明作者改变了对朋友的看法，故前面作者的观点依然是否定的。故选B项。 15．A.opened
C．hosted
B．refused D．invited
B．grew D．declined

答案 A
