五、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文完整通顺。
I was invited by my friend to be a volunteer at Tent City. A number of tents had been s 1 up for the homeless in this area.
My husband had no time to look after our two sons, so I took 9-year-old Tom and 5-year-old Tim with me. Many of the people we served had m 2 teeth or wore dirty clothes. My sons had a lot of q 3 . “Why don't they buy food like us?” “Why don't they have homes?” What they saw challenged their c 4 ideas about how people lived in the world. We talked about the r 5 why people ended up in that kind of situation.
I was worried that my sons would make too much noise. But to my s 6 , the people we served were quite thankful because I had brought them there. Many said how fun it was to have a 7 children around.
After dinner, I saw Tom sit with several old men. He was l 8 to these people who were talking about sports. To be honest, I had never r 9 that he was such a good listener. As some old men returned to their tents, I heard Tom saying to them, “Thanks so much for having dinner with us.” I could see that they were t 10 by his simple words. I hugged him tightly(紧紧地). I was proud of him because treating people with respect is really a good manner.

【分析】
做这类首字母填空的题目，首先第一步要通读整篇短文，把握文章核心大意：本文讲述了作者带着自己的两个年幼的儿子去流浪者安置点做志愿者的经历，孩子们的表现给所有人都带来了温暖。接下来逐句分析每个空格的上下文语境、语法结构，结合首字母提示推导对应词汇，同时要注意判断词性、名词单复数、动词的时态/语态/非谓语变形，确保填入的词既符合语义也符合语法规则。遇到固定搭配的结构可以直接对应常用短语，遇到完成时、进行时的结构要注意动词的正确形式变化，遇到描述事物特征的空要结合前文给出的人物身份推导合适的形容词。
【解析】
1. 句意：已经为这个地区无家可归的人搭起了许多帐篷。此处是过去完成时的被动语态结构had been + 动词过去分词，固定搭配set up表示“搭建”，set的过去分词仍为set，故填set。
2. 句意：我们服务的很多人缺牙或者穿着脏衣服。此处修饰名词teeth，结合无家可归的人的处境和首字母m，用形容词missing表示“缺失的”，missing teeth即缺牙，故填missing。
3. 句意：我的儿子们有很多问题。后文紧接着列出了两个孩子提出的疑问，a lot of后接可数名词复数，结合首字母q，填questions表示“问题”的复数形式。
4. 句意：他们所看到的挑战了他们关于世界上人们如何生活的固有普遍观念。此处修饰名词ideas，结合首字母c，用形容词common表示“普遍的，通常的”，common ideas即常规认知，故填common。
5. 句意：我们讨论了人们最终陷入那种处境的原因。后文是why引导的定语从句修饰空格处的名词，结合语境是多种原因，首字母r，填名词复数reasons表示“原因”。
6. 句意：但是令我惊讶的是，我们服务的人都十分感激我把孩子们带到这里来。固定搭配to one's surprise表示“令某人惊讶的是”，符合首字母s，故填surprise。
7. 句意：很多人说身边有活泼的孩子是多么有意思的事。此处修饰名词children，结合首字母a，填形容词active表示“活跃的、活泼的”，符合语境。
8. 句意：他正在听这些聊体育的人说话。此处是过去进行时结构was + 现在分词，固定搭配listen to表示“听”，故填listen的现在分词listening。
9. 句意：说实话，我之前从来没有意识到他是这么棒的倾听者。此处是过去完成时had + 过去分词，结合首字母r和语境“意识到”，填realize的过去分词realized。
10. 句意：我能看出来他们被他简单的话语打动了。此处是一般过去时的被动语态were + 过去分词，结合首字母t，填touch的过去分词touched，表示“被感动的”。

I know you are 6 so I will just ask you two questions. Could you find out how many things you have done for our family? And could you tell me 7 you say hello to your family members when you get home?”
The day when I was at 8 , I thought about the questions without understanding why Dad had suddenly asked them. Then my friend, a girl from a rich family, asked me what was puzzling(困惑)me. I told her. After listening, she laughed, “Hey! That's nothing! You know, I never do anything or say hello to anybody when I am at home 9 .” Then she went on saying. “As far as I know, 90% of our 10 have never done these things.” Really?

【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，理清文章的核心叙事脉络：本文讲述了身为家中唯一高中生的作者过去不懂礼貌，从不顾及礼仪，后来通过父亲提出的两个问题，逐渐意识到日常对家人问好、为家庭付出是基本礼貌，最终做出改变的故事。解题时每一道题都要从前后文找对应的线索，结合语境逻辑、词义辨析、固定用法逐一排除不符合语境的选项，比如前文提到作者“最没礼貌”就能对应第一空的否定含义，后文出现的“after lunch”能直接对应第三空的时间场景，顺着故事的情节推进就能顺理成章选出所有正确答案。
【解析】
1. 前文提到作者过去是最不礼貌的，说明他从来不会考虑自己的言行礼仪，选B. never。
2. 作为学业繁忙的高中生，后文提到到家刚好赶上饭点、剩余时间不多，说明放学回家的时间很晚，选B. late。
3. 后文明确提到“after lunch as usual”，说明作者到家的时间刚好是午饭时间，选A. lunchtime。
4. 作者查看时间后发现剩余时间不多，爸爸表示只需要占用他极短的时间，一分钟就够，选D. minute。
5. 作者剩余的上学时间不多，因此催促爸爸尽量快一点，选C. quick。
6. 前文多次提到作者是忙碌的高中生，爸爸也清楚他时间紧张、学业繁忙，选D. busy。
7. 此处爸爸询问作者回家后和家人打招呼的频率，提问动作发生的频率要用how often，选C. how often。
8. 结合上下文，作者当天回到学校之后，还一直在思索爸爸提出的两个问题，选B. school。
9. 句子为否定句，否定句末尾表示“也”要使用either，选C. either。
10. 说话的女孩是作者的同班同学，她表示自己了解的是班里90%的同学都没有做过这些事，选B. class。
11. 听完朋友的话之后，作者瞬间理解了爸爸当初为什么要问这两个问题，选B. understood。
12. 此处是解释父亲提问的原因：因为主动做家务、和家人问好本身就是良好的礼仪，选B. because。
13. 作者此时终于完全意识到自己该如何回应爸爸的问题，后续也做出了实际的改变，选C. realized。
14. 作者放学回到家，对着厨房的妈妈说“嗨妈妈，我回来了”，固定表达I'm back表示“我回来了”，选A. back。
15. 妈妈看到孩子主动和自己问好，非常欣慰，给了他一个大大的微笑，选C. smile。
