【解析】提到情人節，人們可能馬上聯想到鮮花、巧克力以及年輕的戀人們。其實情人是一個古老而廣泛的概念，包括所有我們深愛的人以及深愛著我們的人，比如我們的父母。

【1】A think of...as...是固定短語，意為“把……視為/看作……”。

【2】B 句意：在“我”6歲那年的情人節，他給我帶來了第一次“美妙的”回憶。

【3】D 卡片上有父親的“簽名”。該選項從下文11空后可得到提示。

【4】C 戒指上的紅玻璃“象征/代表”我的誕生石——紅寶石。

【5】B 對一個六歲的孩子而言，紅玻璃和紅寶石沒有什么不同。

【6】C 表示佩戴首飾只能用wear。

【7】A 世界上所有的卡片都無法與之相比。

【8】D as在此處引導時間狀語從句，意為“隨著”。

【9】B give way to是固定短語，意為“為……所代替”。

【10】A 該題可采用排除法，修飾巧克力不能用“可愛的”、“親愛的”、“寶貴的”，但可以用“最喜愛的”。

【11】D 父親的卡片是“特殊的”。

【12】C 句意：這些年來“我”的“感謝”更多成為一種敷衍的反應。從上下文可知，此處是與以前對比。

【13】A 這些卡片看起來已經不是那么“重要”。

【14】B “我”想當然地認為情人節“總是”會在那兒。

【15】C “我”把夢想和希望“放在”收到那些來自“重要的其他人”的卡片和禮物上。

【16】B 來自父親的賀卡似乎遠遠不夠(滿足女兒的需要)。

【17】D 父親送“我”的最后一張卡片在“提醒”我：父親對子女的愛是多么特別又是多么重要。

【18】A 父親表達的是一種“傳統”的愛。

【19】B 該句句意為“這些事情永遠不會消失，我將永遠記著他，他永遠是我最思念的人。”這句話表達了女兒對父親永遠的懷念。die意為“消失”。

【20】D 根據該句句意可知用stop doing sth符合語境。
