As I sat on my secondhand sofa, 4 my dinner from a hamburger bag, I thought about home. I pictured myself in the kitchen with my mum, making delicious strawberry jams. Later, I 5 myself sitting at the table with my mum and dad, eating warm apple pies. I missed the 6 of home.
One day, I was feeling down. Although I 7 my job, my heart ached for my loved ones. That morning at work I was 8 to receive a package from my father. He hardly shops. What made him send me a 9?

【分析】
这是一篇亲情主题的记叙文完形填空，解题时第一步先通读全文梳理故事脉络：作者做护士一年后决定离家换工作，初到新环境时孤独思乡，一度怀疑自己搬家的决定是否正确，后来收到父亲寄来的印有帆船的海报，海报上的文字让她读懂了父亲的支持，坚定了独自出发的信念。第二步逐空解题时，不要脱离语境主观选择，每一个选项都要在前后文找到对应的线索：描述情绪的空就去前后找体现作者状态的句子，名词类选项就对应前文出现过的场景指代，带有转折逻辑的空就顺着转折关系推导前后语义的反差，所有题目都可以通过上下文的提示锁定正确答案。
【解析】
1. 根据后文“my first trip away from home”以及“I spent many evenings alone”的提示，作者第一次离家，很多夜晚都是独自度过的，这段时光是孤独的，选A。
2. 前文提到作者独自在新环境的住处度过夜晚，结合后文“secondhand sofa（二手沙发）”的生活场景，对应的地点是小公寓，选C。
3. 前文明确提到作者“decided to move from my home to take a new job”，此处她正在怀疑这次搬家的决定是否正确，选C。
4. 根据空后的“from a hamburger bag（从汉堡包装袋里）”，可知作者正在吃晚餐，选B。
5. 前一句“I pictured myself in the kitchen with my mum”表示作者想象自己和妈妈在厨房的场景，此处顺着并列逻辑，继续想象和爸爸妈妈坐在餐桌前吃苹果派的画面，选D。
6. 前文作者接连回忆和父母在家的温馨日常，她想念的正是家的温暖，选D。
7. 后半句“my heart ached for my loved ones”构成转折逻辑，说明尽管作者很热爱自己的新工作，内心还是思念亲人，选A。
8. 后文提到父亲几乎从来不会购物，所以收到父亲寄来的包裹时作者是很惊讶的，选A。
9. 作者收到的是父亲寄来的包裹，包裹里装的是送给她的礼物，选B。
10. 空后引出了海报上印的一句完整的话，所以此处指海报下方的文字触动了作者，选C。
11. 后文转折提到港口不是帆船生来要去的地方，结合常识可知帆船停在港湾里是安全的，也和文末Mark Twain说的“sail away from the safe harbor”形成呼应，选A。
12. 前文作者一直怀疑自己离开家的决定是否正确，此刻看到父亲的赠言，第一次觉得自己离家独自出发的决定有了意义，选B。
13. 结合前文作者此前一直不确定搬家的选择对不对，此刻收到父亲的鼓励，终于觉得自己的决定是正确的，选B。
14. 后半句用but转折，说明父亲平时不善言辞，从来不是话多的人，却特意用这种方式传递心意，选A。
15. 文末点明“我被父亲的爱支撑着”，可知父亲是支持作者离家的决定的，选C。
