【解析】

短文主要介紹了作者父母之間的感情故事。作者一直想知道父母之間有沒有愛情，在一次談話中母親用做棉被的線來比喻他們之間的感情，但是作者還是不太懂。直到有一天，父親生病了，作者才明白了母親說的那番話的含義。

【1】句意：我靜靜地坐在她旁邊，看著她。

suddenly突然；patiently耐心地；quietly靜靜地。根據(jù)句中“and looked at her”可知，此處是“我靜靜地坐在她旁邊并看著她”，所以此處使用副詞quietly修飾動(dòng)詞短語sat down。故選C。

【2】句意：我母親停下來并抬起頭，眼睛里充滿了驚訝。

surprise驚訝；excitement激動(dòng)；joy快樂。根據(jù)下文中“If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.”可知，如果生活是一個(gè)被子，那么愛應(yīng)該是一根線，很難在任何時(shí)間任何地點(diǎn)看到它，但它確實(shí)存在，所以當(dāng)作者問到自己的媽媽和自己的爸爸之間有沒有愛時(shí)，作者媽媽的眼里充滿了驚訝，所以此處使用名詞surprise。故選A。

【3】句意：有時(shí)候線會(huì)出現(xiàn)，但大部分線都消失在被子里。

hides隱藏；loses失去，丟失；appears出現(xiàn)。根據(jù)句中“but most of it disappears in the quilt”可知，前后兩個(gè)分句意思轉(zhuǎn)折，即：有時(shí)候線會(huì)出現(xiàn)，但是大部分會(huì)消失在被子里，所以此處使用動(dòng)詞appears。故選C。

【4】句意：線真的讓被子堅(jiān)固耐用。

beautiful漂亮的；strong強(qiáng)壯的，堅(jiān)固的；comfortable舒服的。根據(jù)句中“and lasting”可知，and是并列連詞，所以此處是“線讓被子堅(jiān)固耐用”，所以此處使用形容詞strong。故選B。

【5】句意：如果生活是一個(gè)被子，那么愛應(yīng)該是一根線。

money錢；love愛；time時(shí)間。根據(jù)下文中“I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.”可知，愛就是我們生活中被子里的一根線，所以此處是“如果生活是一個(gè)被子，那么愛應(yīng)該是一根線”，所以此處使用名詞love。故選B。

【6】句意：直到第二年春天我爸爸突然生了嚴(yán)重的病，我才理解她的意思。

hear聽到；remember記得；understand理解。根據(jù)下文中“I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life”可知，作者理解了愛就是我們生活中被子里的一根線，所以此處是“直到爸爸生病，我才理解媽媽的意思”，所以此處使用動(dòng)詞understand。故選C。

【7】句意：我爸爸從來沒有這么溫柔過。

proud驕傲的，自豪的；romantic浪漫的；gentle溫和的，文雅的。根據(jù)下文中“He said gently.”可知，作者的爸爸溫和地與作者講話，結(jié)合作者的爸爸剛出院，所以此處是“爸爸從沒有這么溫和過”，所以此處使用形容詞gentle。故選C。

【8】句意：陽光透過樹葉溫柔地照射進(jìn)來，形成了世界上最美麗的圖畫。

couple夫婦；life生活；picture圖片。根據(jù)上文中“Every day in the morning after they returned from the hospital, mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.”可知，他們從醫(yī)院回來后，每天早上，媽媽都會(huì)扶著爸爸在鄉(xiāng)間小路上慢慢地走，所以此處是“陽光透過樹葉溫柔地照射進(jìn)來，將爸爸媽媽一起散步的情景形成了世界上最美麗的圖畫”，所以此處使用名詞picture。故選C。

【9】句意：從他的眼神里，我知道他深深地愛著我的媽媽。

wisely明智地；carefully小心地；deeply深深地。根據(jù)上文中“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.”可知，作者的爸爸喜歡和作者的媽媽一起散步，并且喜歡這種生活，由此可知作者的爸爸是深深地愛著作者媽媽的，所以此處用副詞deeply修飾動(dòng)詞love。故選C。

【10】句意：愛在里面，讓生命變得堅(jiān)強(qiáng)和溫暖。

outside在外面；inside在里面；above在上面。根據(jù)上文中“I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.”可知，愛就是我們生活中被子里的一根線，所以愛是在里面，所以此處使用inside。故選B。
