【答案】 cheapest；asked；so；to burn /burning；as；down；heads；himself；spent；from  

【解析】这篇短文主要讲述了一个人因为贪便宜，买了一些根本不能作为水果的辣椒。结果因为舍不得自己花的那些钱，坚持把它们吃完的故事。从而告诉我们放弃某些东西比继续损失要好。

（1）句意：最便宜的东西有一篮子红水果。cheap，便宜。根据上文语句but most of it was very cheap. 提示可知，此句应该用最高级，故填cheapest。

（2）句意：“每公斤多少钱？”老人问。ask，询问，由语句  An old man went to India. 提示可知此句要用一般过去时，故填asked。

（3）句意：所以这位老人买了整整一公斤，开始吃。语句the old man bought a whole kilogram and started eating it.是Two rupees in India is almost nothing, 的结果，故填so。

（4）句意：然而，他一开始吃东西，嘴巴就开始燃烧。burn，燃烧；固定结构begin to do sth，开始做某事，故填to burn/burning。

（5）句意：整个脸变得像水果一样红。固定结构as…as，与……一样，故填as。

（6）句意：他跳上跳下，尖叫着：“啊！啊！“啊！”固定短语，jump up and down，跳上跳下，故填down。

（7）句意：有些人看着他，摇摇头说：“你疯了！head，头，因前面some people，要用复数形式，故填heads。

（8）句意：老人自言自语道：“我付了钱，所以我必须吃。”固定短语，say to oneself，因主语是he，故填himself。

（9）句意：我们所有人都把时间和金钱花在了一些事情上。spend，花费，动词。因前面有助动词have，其后要用过去分词，故填spent。

（10）句意：我们可以从这位老人身上学到的是……。固定短语，learn from sb，向某人学习，故填from。

【点评】考查语法填空。通读全文理解大意，然后根据上下文或者所给单词的提示对所缺部分进行逐一解答。

2．阅读下面的短文，用括号内所给词的适当形式填空，必要时可加助动词或情态动词。 

I never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a "night out with the boys". He had no________ （hobby） but just took care of his family.

For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 am. He was always ________ （interest）in my life—how my family as doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, ________ （English） or Florida.

Nine years ago when I bought my ________ （one） house, my father, 67 years old, painted my house himself. He worked eight hours a day. He would not allow me ________ （pay） someone to have it done. All he asked was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.

Five years ago, my 71—year—old father ________ （spend）five hours putting together a swing set（秋千）for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.

The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as ________ （usually）, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.

The call came at 4:40 am. That day my father ________ （send）to hospital in Florida, I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed（发誓）that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him and ________ （real）get to know him.

I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.

In the years since his ________ （die） I have learnt much about my father, and even more about myself. As a father, he never asked me for anything but my time. Now he has all my attention, every single day.

【答案】 hobbies；interested；England；first；to pay；spent；usual；was sent；really；death  

【解析】这篇短文中作者给我们讲述了她的父亲，她父亲是一个很顾家的人，眼里只有他的家人。作者在短文中讲述了生活中的几件事情，从这些事情中我们可以看到，作者因为太忙，跟父亲没有太多的交流，当作者想要弥补时，父亲却离开了她。

（1）句意：他没有爱好，但只是照顾家人。hobby是可数名词，表示泛指用复数形式，故填 hobbies。

（2）句意：他总是对我的生活感兴趣。be interested in，固定搭配，对......感兴趣，故填 interested。

（3）句意：这些电话甚至是在他和我妈妈在澳大利亚、英国或佛罗里达的时候打来的。根据  in Australia 可知此处是表示国家的名词，England，英国，故填 England。

（4）句意：九年前，当我买下我的第一栋房子时，我67岁的父亲亲自粉刷了我的房子。one，基数词，一，表示第一个，用序数词，first，故填 first。

（5）句意：他不允许我付钱给某人去做这件事。allow sb to do，固定搭配，允许某人做，故填 to pay。

（6）句意：五年前，我71岁的父亲花了五个小时组装秋千给我女儿。根据 Five years ago 可知是一般过去时，spend的过去式是spent，故填 spent。

（7）句意：1996年1月16日星期日的早上，我父亲像往常一样7点给我打电话，这次他似乎忘记了我们一周前讨论过的一些事情。as usual，固定搭配，像往常一样，故填 usual 。

（8）句意：那天，我父亲8被送到佛罗里达州的医院。根据 That day可知时态是一般过去时，send与主语father是被动关系，故是被动语态，主语是第三人称单数，助动词是was，send的过去分词是sent  ， 故填 was sent。

（9）句意：我发誓当我到达时，我会弥补失去的时间，和他好好长谈，然后真正地了解他。副词修饰动词短语get to know，real的副词是really，故填 really。

（10）句意：在他去世后的几年里，我了解了很多关于我父亲的事情，甚至更多关于我自己的事情。his是形容词性物主代词，其后是名词，death，是名词，故填 death。

【点评】考查语言综合运用能力，注意谓语的时态，语态，词性，搭配等多种用法。
