4.A.pleased B.boredC.disappointed D.satisfied【解析】選B。句意:我想吸引我的是他們從不厭倦聽(tīng)我說(shuō)話和回答我的問(wèn)題。根據(jù)后文“theyalwayslistenedtomepatiently”可知,他們總是耐心地聽(tīng)我說(shuō)話,由此可推斷出,他們從不厭倦聽(tīng)我說(shuō)話和回答我的問(wèn)題,“getboredwith”意為“對(duì)……感到厭倦”,為固定短語(yǔ),符合句意。故選B項(xiàng)。5.A.when

B.what

C.how

D.why【解析】選D。句意:我也認(rèn)為他們?cè)谖业纳砩峡吹搅俗约旱挠白?我們都是孤獨(dú)的,焦慮的孩子,這可能就是為什么他們總是耐心地聽(tīng)我說(shuō)話。空格處為表語(yǔ)從句,空格前句子是他們總是耐心聽(tīng)我說(shuō)話的原因,故應(yīng)用從屬連詞why引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句。故選D項(xiàng)?！窘馕觥窟xA。句意:當(dāng)我大約五歲的時(shí)候,我有了一個(gè)想法:如果我把比爾和艾琳娜作為祖父祖母帶進(jìn)我的家該怎么辦?根據(jù)句中“Ihadanidea”可知,這里指作者有了這個(gè)想法,但不知道該怎么做,才能把比爾和艾琳娜作為祖父祖母帶進(jìn)我的家,whatif意為“如果……怎么辦”,符合句意。故選A項(xiàng)。7.A.promised B.orderedC.advised D.forced【解析】選C。句意:我父母建議我去問(wèn)他們,我照做了。根據(jù)上文可知,我不知道把比爾和艾琳娜作為祖父祖母帶進(jìn)我的家該怎么辦,可推斷出這里父母是給了我建議。故選C項(xiàng)。8.A.gaining B.concerningC.offering D.controlling【解析】選C。句意:一個(gè)孩子給予自己的愛(ài),大人高興地接受了,這真是太棒了。gaining獲得;concerning涉及;offering提供,自愿給予;controlling控制。根據(jù)上文可知,是作者主動(dòng)邀請(qǐng)比爾和艾琳娜作為祖父祖母來(lái)
