【分析】
这是一道英语选词填空题，解题思路为：首先明确方框内各短语的含义与用法；其次通读短文，把握上下文语境及整体时态（短文以一般过去时为主，需注意动词形式变化）；最后结合每个空格前后的语义，匹配恰当短语并调整为正确形式。
【解析】
1. 第一空：句意为“我觉得她对我的成绩太苛刻了”，短语be hard on表示“对……苛刻”，主语为she，时态为一般过去时，故填was hard on；
2. 第二空：句意为“我感到沮丧，说了些伤人的话”，短语feel blue表示“感到沮丧”，时态为一般过去时，故填felt blue；
3. 第三空：句意为“后来我意识到我让她失望了”，短语let sb down表示“使某人失望”，此处sb指代mum，用宾格her，let的过去式仍为let，故填let her down；
4. 第四空：句意为“我决定收回我的话”，短语take back表示“收回”，decide to do sth为固定搭配，故填原形take back；
5. 第五空：句意为“我们互相拥抱，满面笑容”，短语all smiles表示“满面笑容”，在句中作状语，直接使用原形即可。
【答案】
1. was hard on
2. felt blue
3. let her down
4. take back
5. all smiles

四、阅读短文,选择最佳答案。
Night after night, my mum came to
help me fall asleep, even long after my
childhood years.
I don't remember when it first started
making me a little angry—my mum's hands
pushing my hair that way. But it really
made me uncomfortable, for they felt
rough against my young skin.
Finally, one night, I shouted at her,
"Stop! Your hands are rough!" She didn't
say anything, but she never did it again.
Now that my own children have grown
up, I miss my mother's hands and her
goodnight kiss on my forehead. My mum is
in her mid-seventies, and her rough hands
are still doing things for me and my family.
It was late on a night in November. As
I slept in my bedroom, a familiar hand
reached over and gently pushed the hair
from my face. Then a kiss, ever so softly,
touched my brow.
Holding my mum's hand, I told her
how sorry I was for shouting at her that
night. But my mum didn't know what I was
talking about. She had forgotten it long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new
sense of gratitude for my mother's
caring hands.

childhood.

love.

help.

helping.

【分析】
做这类英语阅读理解题，需先通读短文理解大意，再针对每个小题的问题，回到原文定位对应信息，对比选项选出最佳答案。具体思路：1. 找作者对妈妈大喊的原因，定位原文相关语句；2. 找妈妈被喊后的反应，定位原文对应描述；3. 找作者现在对妈妈的感受，定位原文体现情感的语句；4. 选最佳标题，需梳理全文核心线索。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据原文第二段“it really made me uncomfortable, for they felt rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted at her, 'Stop! Your hands are rough!'”，可知作者因妈妈的手粗糙不舒服才大喊，对应选项A。
2. 细节理解题：根据原文第三段“She didn't say anything, but she never did it again.”，此处“it”指代前文妈妈推作者头发的动作，说明妈妈停止了推头发，对应选项B。
3. 细节理解题：根据原文最后一段“That night, I fell asleep with a new sense of gratitude for my mother's caring hands.”，gratitude意为“感激”，可知作者现在对妈妈的爱充满感激，对应选项B。
