【解析】

試題分析：在文中作者通過回憶往事，講述了父親的對(duì)他的影響。無論面對(duì)什么困難，父親都一貫保持著樂觀的態(tài)度，用自己的愛心和勤勞為家人支撐起一片天空。因此作者也變得更富有同情心，也知道去關(guān)心體貼他人了。

1.A.教師；B. 園��；C.農(nóng)民；D. 雜貨商。從下文After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field,可以判斷父親是個(gè)農(nóng)民，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。

2.A. 暴風(fēng)雨的B. 生動(dòng)的C. 消失的D. 灼熱的。根據(jù)On one of those hot mornings和下文的干旱可以判斷D為正確選項(xiàng)。

3. 名詞辨析。A.訂單；. 形式，表格；C.代溝；D. 位置。下文作者說 “If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves.”由此可以判斷商店向父親訂購的甜玉米，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

4.A. 重復(fù)地；B.正常地；C. 最后；D.真正地。根據(jù)上下文語境可知摘五十打玉米一般情況下需要20分鐘，所以選B。

5.A.進(jìn)展；B. 開始；C.發(fā)生；D.改變。由下文可知那天用了40分鐘還沒摘夠玉米，所以事情進(jìn)展不是很快。故A選項(xiàng)正確。

6.A. 然而；B. 仍然；C.甚至；D. 幾乎。從上下文可知摘了40分鐘后，還差10打，所以應(yīng)該用“仍然”表示沒有完成任務(wù)。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

7.A.驚訝的；B.緊張的；C. 生氣的；D害怕的。根據(jù)下文作者的動(dòng)作和語言Dropping the basket heavily, I declared, “If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves.”可以推斷作者感覺很生氣，故C選項(xiàng)正確。

8. 動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 道歉；B.哭喊；C. 抱怨；D.笑。從下文對(duì)父親樂觀性格的描述可以推測父親當(dāng)時(shí)的表現(xiàn)應(yīng)該也是很樂觀，應(yīng)該是笑著對(duì)作者說話，所以D選項(xiàng)正確。

9.A.丟失的；B.結(jié)束了的；C. 離去的；D. 受觸動(dòng)的。根據(jù)上文作者的講述可知這是最后的20打玉米，所以摘完這些工作就做完了，故選B。

10.A. 遇到；B. 撫養(yǎng)長大；C.制定出；D.考慮。從上下文的語境可知作者的父親不論碰到什么困難，都表現(xiàn)的很樂觀，故此處用meet with，正確選項(xiàng)為A。

11. 副詞辨析。A. 感激地；B.滿懷希望地；C. 不幸地；D.奇怪地。從后句the disastrous (災(zāi)難性的) effects of the drought were felt all over our county.可知全國性的大災(zāi)難對(duì)每個(gè)人都是不幸地，所以選C。

12.A或者；B. 因?yàn)椋?/span>C所以；D. 但是。從語境可知在面對(duì)艱難困苦時(shí)，父親保持樂觀的態(tài)度，前后句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以D選項(xiàng)正確。

13.A.發(fā)生；B. 似乎；C. 繼續(xù)；D.旨在。根據(jù)作者講述的故事和前句Dad remained optimistic.可以判斷C選項(xiàng)正確。面對(duì)困難，父親沒有抱怨，仍然對(duì)其他像健康等這樣的東西心懷感激。

15. 名詞辨析.A.愛;B驕傲;C. 友誼;D. 誠實(shí)。從下文作者的講述和His loving and selfless nature可以判斷父親做這一切都是出于對(duì)家人的愛，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

17.A.在。。之后；B. 在…之前；C. 在….旁邊；D. 在…下面。根據(jù)情理推斷心懷愛心的人應(yīng)該總是把別人的快樂放在首位，所以父親也是這樣，總是把我們的快樂放在他自己的快樂前面。故B選項(xiàng)正確。

18.A盡管；B. 就…而言；C.控制；D取代。前句講父親never fails to cheer me on at my sports games和后面his exhaustion after long days.應(yīng)該是一種讓步關(guān)系，意思為不顧一天后的疲勞，他總是會(huì)出現(xiàn)在我的運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)上為我鼓勁加油。

19.A. 仔細(xì)的B.后悔的；C. 體貼的；D. 幽默的。從語境推測父親的行為影響了我 ，而且句中sympathetic 和putting others first也提示后面應(yīng)該是表示相同意思的褒義詞，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。句意：他的愛心和無私的性格也激勵(lì)了我， 使我也變得富有同情心和為他人著想了。

20.A. 歷史；B.箴言；C.模式；D.課；教訓(xùn)。從作者的講述可知父親的一言一行對(duì)我產(chǎn)生的影響也就是給我上的人生課，所以D為正確選項(xiàng)。
