【解析】

试题分析：

1.．B support是“抚养；维持”之意，keep是“保持”；hold意为“容纳”；而live on表示“以……为食”，都不符合句意。

2.．A 他们从未像我在书中读到，或在电视中看到的那样有浪漫的举止。

3.D 这句话意为“更不用说在情人节送花这样的事了”。send flowers是“送花”。

4.．C 根据句意，此处表示“不可能”，用out of the question；out of question是“没问题”。

5.．A 我静静地看着她。

6.．B 由上句中的silently，可以判断此处应是in a low voice，才能符合语境。

7.．D 听了“我”的问题，母亲应该是感到“惊讶”。

8.．A 上文是she raised her head，所以then she bowed her head and continue，bow表示“低下”；选项C的形式不对，应是hung；lower有“使……低下”之意，所以都可排除。

9.．C 由上文Sometimes it appears, but …，所以此处要用disappear。

10.．B 这些线使被子坚固耐用。lasting是形容词，表示“耐用的”。

11.．C 如果生活就像一床被子，那么爱就是其中的线。

12.．D 此处意为“爱是内在的”，已经由谈论线和被子升华的了“爱”上。

13.．B 两个人应该用“both”。

14.．A 母亲都会搀扶着父亲在乡村的小路上漫步。

15.．C 父亲从未如此温和过。careful只是表示“细心”，不符合句意。

16.．D 此句意为“这一切形成了一幅世间最美好的画面”，make up是“构成，组成”之意；come up是“出现”；turn up是“露面”；call up是“打电话”，都可以排除。

17.．B 说实话，我喜欢与你妈妈一块散步的感觉。on the contrary是“相反地”，不符合句意。

18.．B read有“读懂”之意，而watch和observe都表示“观察”，可以排除。

19.．A once意为“从前，曾经，一度”。

20.．D 此句意为“但是经历了这些后，我理解了……”，experience表示“经历；阅历”。选项中的matter表示“（抽象的）事情”，所以可以排除。
