My Forever Valentine我永远的“情人”
Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought 1him as my “Valentine man”.
My first recollection of the 2he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was 3“Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to 4my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is 5difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember 6that ring with pride that all the cards in the world 7not surpass (超越).
8I grew older, the gifts gave 9to heart-shaped boxes filled with my 10chocolate and always included a 11card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-you became 12of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less 13, and I took for granted that the Valentine would 14be there. I had 15my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite 16.
His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a 17of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a 18_of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.
Those things never 19, nor does the memory of a man who never 20being my Valentine.

答案:
(答案→)A
解析:
提到情人节,人们可能马上联想到鲜花、巧克力以及年轻的恋人们。情人其实是一个古老而广泛的概念,包括所有我们深爱的人以及深爱着我们的人,比如我们的父母。
【小题1】think of … as …是固定短语,意为“把……视为/看作……”。
【小题2】该句大意为“我对情人节的记忆最早是从我六岁那年开始的。”
【小题3】卡片上有父亲的签名。该选项从下文也可得到提示。
【小题4】戒指上红玻璃象征/代表着我的诞生石——红宝石。
【小题5】对一个六岁的孩子而言,红玻璃和红宝石没有什么不同。
【小题6】表示佩戴首饰只能用wear。
【小题7】世界上所有的卡片都不能超过它。
【小题8】as在此处引导时间状语从句,意为“随着”。
【小题9】give way to是固定短语,意为“为……所代替”。
【小题10】该题可采用排除法,修饰巧克力不能用“可爱的;亲爱的;宝贵的”但可以用“最喜爱的”。
【小题11】父亲的卡片是特殊的。
【小题12】该句句意为“而我的感谢越来越成为一种敷衍的回应。”从上下文可知,此处是与以前相对比。
【小题13】这些卡片看起来已经不是那么重要。
【小题14】我想当然地认为情人节年年都有。
【小题15】我把梦想和希望放在收到那些来自“重要的其他人”的卡片和礼物上。
【小题16】来自父亲的贺卡似乎远远不能够(满足女儿的需要)。
【小题17】父亲送我的最后一张卡片在提醒着我:父亲对子女的爱是多么特别又是多么重要。
【小题18】父亲表达的是一种传统的爱。
【小题19】该句句意为“这些事情永远不会消逝,就如同我对一位男子的记忆,他永远是我的情人。”这句话表达了女儿对父亲永远的怀念。
【小题20】根据该句句意,stop doing sth.符合语境。
