【解析】文章介绍作者的妹妹才几个月大，但是医生宣布她只能活14天了。大家悲伤之余，看见妹妹一天天好转，又有了希望。虽然后来医生同意让妹妹出院，但是家里没有钱将妹妹接出医院，幸亏一个好心的人救助他们一笔钱才能让妹妹出院。

1.考查副词及语境的理解。A. Besides除了……之外还有； B. However可是； C. Instead 反而； D. Therefore因此。句意：可是后来我们被告知这个小女孩是早产3个半月，仅仅能活14天。上文说：我妈妈生了一个最漂亮的女孩。下文说：我们得知这个小女孩只有14天可以活。此处是转折关系。用However“然而”。故选B。

2.考查名词及语境的理解。A. hobby爱好； B. friendship友谊； C. feeling 感觉，心情； D. habit习惯。句意：你很难理解你的心情。作者的小妹妹非常漂亮，这本是好事，可是医生突然宣布死神将很快夺走她的生命，这种“感受”难以理解。feeling感觉，心情。故选C。

3.考查名词及语境的理解。A. car汽车； B. hospital 医院； C. money钱； D. house房子。句意：我们没有钱。从下文“My mother tried for days to get the money,”可知，我们没有钱（money）。故选C。

4.考查动词短语辨析及语境的理解。A. made up编造； B. set up建立； C. came up发生； D. gave up放弃。句意：妈妈每天都去找钱，但是什么都没有找到。根据 but可知，前后是转折关系，前面是妈妈去找钱，后面是没有找到。故选C。

5.考查形容词及语境的理解。A. sad难过的； B. necessary必要的； C. impossible不可能的； D. interesting有趣的。句意：自己的孩子却还要筹钱才能把孩子带回家，就像从医院“买”回自己的孩子一样，真是让人难过（sad）。根据My mother tried for days to get the money, but nothing ___4___ each time.可知，筹不到钱，不能救孩子，当然伤心了。故选A。

6.考查动词及语境的理解。A. save挽救； B. visit参观； C. buy买； D. protect保护。句意：自己的孩子却还要筹钱才能把孩子带回家，就像从医院“买”回自己的孩子一样，真是让人难过（sad）。因为前文提到筹钱，给孩子看病，只有孩子病好了，才能回家，所以就像从医院买孩子一样。故选C。

7.考查形容词及语境的理解。A. satisfied 满意的； B. moved感动的； C. disappointed 失望的； D. interested有趣的。句意：感觉又失望了。根据Thanks to the guy that I will ___10___ know, we could take that beautiful baby girl home可知，她的老板没有拿出钱，所以她的心情肯定很失望。故选C。

8.考查动词及语境的理解。A. asked问； B. handed 递； C. paid付钱； D. borrowed借。句意：他递给她一袋子钱。短语hand sb sth递给某人某物。根据As she looked up to thank him, he was gone.当她要感谢他的时候，那个人递给了她钱就走了。故选B。

9.考查介词及语境的理解。look up 抬头看； look down 低头看； look in向里面看。句意：她低头看着手眼里含着眼泪。根据her hand 可知，应该是低头看手。故选B。

10.考查副词及语境的理解。A. even甚至； B. still 仍然； C. never从不； D. almost几乎。

句意：多亏了我们从不认识的那个人，我们才能把漂亮的妹妹带回家，昨天我们给她庆祝13岁的生日。根据They searched all over that hospital and he was nowhere to be found.大家都不认识那个给钱的人。故选C。

点睛：完形填空题中单纯考查语法知识和词汇知识的试题几乎不复存在，绝大多数考题的四个选项在语法和词语搭配上都无懈可击，有的在意义上很接近，有的从其所处的句子或段落而言难辨是否，然而结合具体的语言环境，却只有一个最佳答案。此外，考查点大都集中在实词上，尤其是动词、名词、代词、形容词、副词等。这些词的本身具有时间、地点、人物、动作、感情等意义。虚词，如冠词、连词、介词等则占较小的比例。考查上下文语境：如：1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10题。
