【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，梳理清楚故事主线：本文讲述了妈妈生病后，女孩Bella从最初觉得要额外承担家务很不公平，到逐渐理解家人的难处，主动分担家务，和家人互相扶持的暖心故事。解题时要紧扣Bella的心理转变这条核心线索，结合上下文的语境提示、固定搭配和逻辑关系逐一比对选项，排除不符合语境的错误答案，不要脱离文章孤立判断单个空的词义。
【解析】
1. 后文提到妈妈状态非常虚弱，说明此时妈妈还躺在床上，still意为“仍然”，only（只有）、even（甚至）、almost（几乎）均不符合语境，选A。
2. 前文提到听到小妹妹的哭声，爸爸自然是希望Bella照顾妹妹，look after意为“照顾”，look for（寻找）、look over（检查）、look through（浏览）均不符合句意，选B。
3. 句意为“她还得像之前妈妈做的那样给全家人准备饭菜”，as此处表示“像……一样”，until（直到）、since（自从）、because（因为）逻辑不通，选A。
4. 后文Bella反问“为什么我得当成年人”，说明她觉得自己也要完成学业却要多做家务，这件事不公平，fair意为“公平的”，clear（清楚的）、ready（准备好的）、true（真实的）不符合语境，选C。
5. 后文紧接着提到了her father，说明此时坐在厨房桌边的人是爸爸，选D。
6. 此处是Bella的心理活动，她突然意识到身为丈夫和父亲的家人也承受了很多，realized意为“意识到”，explain（解释）、expect（期待）、wonder（想知道）不符合语境，选C。
7. 妈妈生病，家里诸事繁杂，爸爸的状态肯定是非常担忧，worried意为“担忧的”，moved（感动的）、pleased（愉悦的）、surprised（惊讶的）均不符合情境，选B。
8. 前文多次提到准备饭菜，结合后文Bella削土豆的动作，可知爸爸是让她帮忙做晚饭，dinner意为“晚餐”，选C。
9. 原本Bella还打算找个借口出去见朋友，excuse意为“借口”，suggestion（建议）、example（例子）、question（问题）不符合句意，选A。
10. 妈妈生病，家里的生活节奏被打乱，对全家人来说这是一段艰难的时期，hard意为“艰难的”，选B。
11. 她打消了出去玩的念头，不再抱怨，安静地走进厨房开始削土豆，quietly意为“安静地”，angrily（生气地）、bravely（勇敢地）、suddenly（突然地）不符合此时Bella的状态，选C。
12. 句意为“一切都会好起来的，我们可以撑过去、应付好这一切”，manage此处表示“设法应付、撑过难关”，选B。
13. 后文提到她莫名感觉自己长成大人了，说明她感觉自己和之前不一样了，different意为“不同的”，选D。
14. 句意为“能把笑容带到爸爸脸上真的很棒”，bring意为“带来”，符合搭配和语境，选A。
15. 全文核心是家人共渡难关，此处表达“如果我们互相支持，我们就永远不会有事”，support意为“支持”，refuse（拒绝）、accept（接受）、introduce（介绍）不符合主旨，选C。
