2.2】解析：選D。根據上文“a drought (旱災) hit Ontario，turning...”和17空后的“On one of those hot mornings...”可以推斷出干旱將安大略變成了一個滾燙的沙漠。stormy暴風雨的；lively活潑的，生動的；disappearing消失的；burning燃燒的，滾燙的。所以D項符合句意。

3.3】解析：選A。根據此句中fill the last________from the grocery store(雜貨店)和22空后的“If the store wants its last twenty dozen...”可以推斷出空格處填“訂單”。order訂購，訂單，訂貨，fill the last order為最后一個訂單配貨；form表格，形式，形狀；形態；gap間隙，缺口，空白；position位置，職位。所以A項符合句意。

4.4】解析：選B。根據下文“That morning，however，the process didn’t________quickly.After forty minutes of...”可以推斷出這一過程(花費了40分鐘)正常情況下只需20分鐘。repeatedly反復地，再三地；normally正常地，通常地；finally最后，終于；really實際上，事實上。所以B項符合句意。

5.5】解析：選A。根據上下文可推測空格處所在句的句意：然而，那個早上，過程________不快。go進行，進展；begin開始；occur發生；change變化；零錢。所以A項符合句意。

6.6】解析：選B。根據上文“Fifty dozen was all we needed”和下文“If the store wants its last twenty dozen，they can pick it themselves！”可以推斷21空所在句的句意為“漫無目的地在田地里走了40分鐘后，我們仍需要摘20打”。yet然而，可是；still仍然，還；even甚至；nearly幾乎，差不多。所以B項符合句意。

7.7】解析：選C。根據關鍵詞frustrated和下文“Dropping the basket heavily...”可以推斷出作者生氣了。surprised感到吃驚的；nervous緊張的；angry生氣的；frightened感到害怕的。所以C項符合句意。

8.8】解析：選D。根據下文“whatever problem he________，he never gives up”可以推斷出作者的父親對待生活的態度是非常積極、樂觀的，故此處選D項，laugh“笑”。apologize道歉；cry哭，哭泣；complain抱怨，均與語境不符。

9.9】解析：選B。空格處所在句的句意為“……我們每個人就只剩下10打了，然后我們就完成了”。lost迷路的；done已完成的；gone過去的，用完了的；touched感動的。所以B項符合句意。

10.0】解析：選A。meet with碰到，遇見；bring up養育，提出，談到，嘔吐；work out計算出，弄明白；think about考慮，思考。根據上下文可推測空格處所在句的句意為“這就是父親——無論遇到什么問題，他從不放棄”。所以A項符合句意。

11.1】解析：選C。根據下文the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over our country“干旱所帶來的災難性影響席卷全國”可以推斷出本空填的詞應意為“不幸的是”。thankfully高興地，感激地；hopefully有希望地，有前途地；unfortunately不幸的是；strangely奇怪的是。所以C項與語境相符。

12.2】解析：選D。根據上文“It was a challenging time for everyone...”和下文的關鍵詞optimistic可以推斷出前后兩句具有轉折關系。or或者，否則；for為了；so因此；but但是。所以D項符合題目要求的轉折關系。

13.3】解析：選C。happen to...碰巧/恰巧……；seem to...好像/似乎……；continue to...繼續……；aim to...打算……上文提到干旱所帶來的災難性影響席卷全國，但父親仍然保持著樂觀的態度。所以可推測本空所在句的意思是“他一如既往地感激其他事情，如健康的身體和我們盤中的食物”。故C項符合句意。

14.4】解析：選B。根據上下文可推測空格處所在句的句意為“直到那時我才真正地開始欣賞父親以及父親引導我們度過困難時期的信念”。face面對；appreciate欣賞，感激；examine檢查，測驗；question質疑，問問題。所以B項符合句意。

15.5】解析：選A。根據下文“His loving and selfless nature has inspired...”可以推斷出父親也是一個能夠付出真愛的活生生的例子。love愛；pride自豪，驕傲；friendship友誼；honesty誠實。所以A項符合句意。

16.6】解析：選A。support支持，維持，供養，資助；settle定居，安定；start開始；impress給……留下印象。根據上下文可推測空格處所在句的句意為“他從早到晚工作了無數個小時是為了養活我們一家人”。所以A項符合句意。

17.7】解析：選B。根據下文“His loving and selfless nature...putting others first.”可以推斷出父親總是把別人放在第一位，也就是說總是把我們的幸福放在他自己的幸福的前面。after在……之后；before在……之前；beside在……旁邊；under在……下面。所以B項符合語境。

18.8】解析：選A。in spite of盡管；in terms of在……方面，依據，按照；in control of控制，管理，掌握；in place of代替，取代。根據上下文可推測空格處所在句的句意為“他總是把我們的幸福放在他自己幸福的前面，即使……精疲力竭，父親也從未忘記在體育比賽中為我加油鼓勁”。所以A項符合句意。

19.9】解析：選C。根據下文“putting others first”可以推斷出“父親是具有同情心的、體貼他人的”。careful仔細的，細心的；regretful遺憾的，后悔的；considerate考慮周到的，體貼的；humorous幽默的。所以C項considerate符合語境。
