My father is now in his late forty but he looks young for his age. He is very strict with me, especial in my studies. Besides, I know he loves me deeply in his heart. Once I fail to do well in my math exam, I was afraid that it would make my father angry and disappointing. On contrary, he said I had tried my best and offered him a few words of encouragement. He told me that there is no need to feel bad about one and two failures and the most important thing is to learn anything from failure and never give up. Today is Father’s Day and I want to say thank you for my father.

Answer

1.forty → forties

2.especial → especially

3.Besides → However

4.fail → failed

5.disappointing → disappointed

6.contrary前加the

7.him → me

8.and → or

9.anything → something

10.for → to

【解析】

1.forty → forties 考查数词。固定搭配in one’s forties在某人四十几岁的时候。

2.especial → especially 考查副词。副词especially来修饰谓语部分，在句中作做状语。

3.Besides → However 考查连词。句意：我的父亲对我要求很严格，然而我很爱他。however表示上下文的转折关系。

4.fail → failed 考查动词时态。Once表示曾经，描述的是过去发生的事情，故使用过去时即可。

5.disappointing → disappointed 考查形容词。本句中的形容词angry和disappointed对前面的宾语my father的情况进行补充说明。故使用过去分词转换的形容词修饰人。

6.contrary前加the 考查冠词。固定搭配on the contrary恰恰相反

7.him → me 考查代词。此句是指爸爸给我一些鼓励的话，而不是给他。

8.and → or 考查连词。一两件失败的事情，指上下文的选择关系，所以用or。

9.anything → something 考查不定代词。something用于肯定句，指从失败里学习了一些知识。

10. 考查冠词。固定搭配say something to sb对某人说……。

考点：语言应用。
