【解析】

本文为记叙文。作者为离开温暖的家而伤心难过时，爷爷过来安慰他，并告诉作者，无论发生什么事，永远不要说再见。直到爷爷去世时，我才真正地明白爷爷说的“永不屈服”的真正含义：决不向悲伤屈服，决不说再见。要笑对人生的不如意，拥有乐观心态。

1.考查感官动词辨析。felt感觉；fixed 固定；watched观察；heard听到根据语可知，此处指我跑到后院，任泪水流淌，突然我感觉到有一只手放在我的肩膀上。分析语可知feel符合语境，故选A项。

2.考查动词辨析。watch看，观看，强调动作；discover发现；see看见，强调看的结果。此处指我抬头看见我的爷爷。故选D项。

3.考查形容词辨析。difficult 困难的； hard艰难的，硬的；easy容易的；comfortable安慰的。由上文可知，爷爷看到我因为要离开温暖的家而伤心，所以爷爷安慰说：“（离开家）不容易，是吧”，故选C项。

4.考查动词辨析。making制造； taking拿走，取；leading 引导，导致；carrying运送，搬运。根据倒数第二段最后一句“I took his hand as ___17___ as he had once taken mine.”可知，此处应填take，与下文相呼应，意为“轻轻的把我的手放在他的手上”，故选B项。

5.考查定语从句的连接词。分析to the front yard，___5___ a huge red rose­bush sat alone.可知，先行词front yard，在从句中作地地点状语，故使用关系副词where。故选A项。

6.考查疑问词+不定式作know的宾语。此处指我看着花不知说什么，not knowing ___6___ to say为宾语从句，say后缺宾语，故用what引导，做动词say的宾语，意为“我不知道说什么”，故选A项。

7.考查形容词辨析。red红的；tasty可口的，美味的；funny滑稽的，可笑的；beautiful漂亮的，美丽的。根据下句“It isn't just the roses that are beautiful可知作者对玫瑰花的评价是soft and beautiful，故选D项。

8.考查副词辨析。close靠近地；hard艰难地；far久远地；around到处。根据语境可知，从后文爷爷喜欢玫瑰花不仅仅是漂亮，这是它们在我心中有特别的位置使他们如此，所以他拉着我靠近（close）观察。故选A项。

9.考查动词辨析。bought 买； planted 种植； treated对待，款待； discovered发现。此处指爷爷的第一个儿子出生时，他“种植”这些玫瑰花，故选planted.，因此B符合题意。

10.考查名词辨析。句意：这是我对上帝说感谢的方式，即种上漂亮的玫瑰花。choice选择；method指有技术所构成的方法，强记以效率与精确为目标；way为普通用滞，指一般的方法；solution解决方案，办法。a/the way of doing sth/to do sth.意为“做某事的方法”。A和D后都要接介词to，故选C项。

11.考查动词辨析。prefer to do…更喜欢做…；want to do想要做…；promise to do答应做…；used to do 过去常常做…. .used to 过去常常。本句为爷爷过去常常看到他（大儿子）摘花给他母亲，而现在无法看到了，因战争夺去了他年轻的生命。根据语境可知D符合题意。

12.考查动词短语辨析。give up放弃；give off 发出气味等；give in屈服，让步； give away泄露，赠送。文章最后一句“about never saying good­bye—about refusing to give in to sadness.”可知，要填give in，与下文相照应。本句为爷爷说：“决不向悲伤和孤独妥协”，故选C项。

13.考查语境及名词辨析。word单词，话；happiness快乐；sight 看见；memory记忆。and连接并列结构，前面是joy，故and后面使用Joy的同义词happines，故选B项。

14.考查形容词辨析。ill生病的；weak虚弱的；old老的；serious严重的。Then all members（成员） of the family were ___15___ back，and I returned to the old house. “大家都赶回来”及最后“爷爷过世”，可知此处应该是爷爷生病很严重了。故选A项。

17.考查副词辨析。happily快乐地；sadly悲伤地； carefully小心地，仔细地；gently轻轻地，温柔地。上文提到爷爷曾轻轻地把我的手放在他的手上，因此，在爷爷临终前，我也是轻轻的握着他的手。故选D项。

18.考查动词辨析。laughed 大笑，嘲笑；shouted大声喊；added补充，接着说；whispered小声地，耳语。根据常识可知，对一个临死的人应该是低声说，故选 whispered。因此D项符合题意。
