答案解析：

对于表象与理想的差异我们能否冷静对待?对于美好事物的期待我们是否有足够的耐心和准备?也许有了冷静与平稳的心态就不会在心底留下永远的遗憾。

1.C。语篇题。该题易误选A(wanted)，只有在理解全文的基础上才能准确判断“我”在大学毕业前想要得到跑车的心理。根据倒数第二段的表述 “It had a tag(标签) with the dealers name，the same dealer who has the sports car he had desired.”可知，“我”渴望得到跑车，故四个选项中只有admire “羡慕”(to look at something and think it is attractive and impressive)可表达此意；B(appreciate)表示“欣赏、重视、感激”；D(enjoy)“喜欢、享有“，在语篇中程度不及admire。

2.A。语境题。根据语境可知，“我”知道父亲在经济上具有为我买跑车的能力，故应使用句型 “can/could (well) afford sth./to do sth.”，此题易误选D(buy)，buy与well在语意上不能表达上述含义。B(serve)意为“为……服务”；D(offer)表示“提供”。

3.B。语境题。B(sign)(an action that may happen in the future)表示“迹象”；A(message)常指“消息(communication sent by one person to another)”；C (signal)表示“信号”；D(notice)意为“通知”。

4.A。语境题。此处用 “finally”表示“终于等到了毕业的这一天”；B(thus)表示“如此、因此”；C(then)意为“那时、还、然后等”；D(besides) 表示“再者、而且、除……之外”。

5.C。语境题。根据句意可知，此处表示“父亲以有这样出色的儿子而自豪。”

6.D。语篇题。根据文章最后一段的描述 “… because they are not packaged as we….”可知，此处应填入与 “packaged”在意义上一致的词，故选D(wrapped)，意为“包装”；A(tie)表示“(用带子等)系、捆、扎”；B(use)表示“使用”；C(fold)意为“折叠”。

7.C。语段题。根据第二段的描述可知，父亲给了儿子一个包装好的礼品盒。因为这与儿子一直以来的期望看似不一致，故儿子感到“好奇”，故选C。A(satisfied) 意为“满意”；B(excited) 表示“激动、兴奋”；D(anxious)表示“焦虑”。

8.D。语境题。根据下文可知，此处表示儿子提高说话的声音，冲着父亲叫嚷。B(puzzle)作可数名词解时表示“难题、问题、谜等“；C(strength) 意为“力量”。

9.B。语篇题。根据语境可知，失望的儿子满怀怒气冲出了家门；再根据下文语篇可知，儿子这次离开家到父亲去世均未回过家。可见，儿子当时冲出家门时并非仅强调速度快，故此处填A(ran)和C (rushed)不当；B(storm)在句中表示“猛冲、横冲直闯“(to go somewhere in a noisy fast way that shows you are extremely angry)。

10.A。语境题。根据后一句描述可知，此处表示多年以后这个年轻人事业有成。B(hopeful) 表示“有希望的”；C(pitiful)意为“可怜的、同情的”；D(careful) 表示“审慎的、仔细的、小心的”。

11.D。语境题。根据语境可知，此处表示年轻人意识到父亲已经老了。A(know)表示“知道、认识、经历等”；B(recognize) 意为“认出、承认、公认等”；C(feel)表示“感到、感觉、摸索等”。

12.A。语段题。根据第五段的描述 “He began to search his fathers important papers and saw the still new Bible，just as he had__15__it years ago.”以及 “When he arrived at his fathers house，sudden sadness and__14__filled his heart.”可知，年轻人这些年以来未曾去看过父亲；从他来到父亲住所处流露出的懊悔心情也不难得出上述结论。B(ever)用于否定句、疑问句以及表示怀疑或条件的句子中表示“无论何时”；用于现在完成时疑问句中表示“曾经”；还可用于比较级或最高级之后；C(often)表示“经常”；D(seldom)意为“很少、不常”。

13.C。语境题。根据该句中的描述 “…and willed all of his possessions to his son.” (将他所有的财产都遗赠给了儿子。)可知，此处表示“去世”，故选C(passed away)；A(go away)表示“离去”；B(break away) 表示“挣脱、逃脱、脱离、革除(习惯、思想方式或信仰)等”；D(keep away)意为“远离、不接近”。

14.B.语段题。在父亲的房子里，年轻人内心突然感到悲伤，想起自己多年前大学毕业时对待父亲的态度，内心顿觉懊悔。故此空应选B(regret)；A(damage)表示“损害；损毁(使失去价值)”；C(hurt) 表示“伤害、损害”；D (unpleasantness)意为“不愉快、争执”。

15.C。语篇题。根据第三段最后一句话“…out of the house，leaving the holy book.”可知，此处用表状态的left说明父亲当初给他的那本《圣经》仍然摆放在原处。A(put)表示“放置”；B(see)表示“看见”；D(manage)表示“控制、处理、管理、完成、使用”等。

16.B。语境题。此处用 “dropped”表示在他一页一页翻读《圣经》时，突然从粘在书背面的信封里掉出一把汽车钥匙。指“偶然掉落”时常用“drop(to fall by accident)”；A(fall)侧重于位置上的“从高向低”；C(appear)表示“出现、登台、显得”；D(come)与介词from连用则表“来自于……”。

17.A。语段题。根据段落及语句间的联系可知，此处所指为“标签上还写有他的毕业日期及‘款已付清的字样。”B(celebration)

表示“庆祝”；C(birthday)意为“生日”；D(success)表示“成功”。

18.D。语境题。解析见第17题。

19.D。语境题。最后一段为作者就文中记述的事件所产生的感悟：我们多少次地与祝福擦肩而过?而这一切仅仅是因为他们没有按照我们期待中的样子包装好。

20.B。语境题。解析见第19题。A(think) 意为“考虑、想、认为”；C(plan)表示“计划、策划、设计”；D(wish) 意为“希望、但愿”。
