【解析】

本文講述爸爸對(duì)以前的生活很滿意，從作者來(lái)到這個(gè)家庭，生活改變了。在媽媽的驅(qū)動(dòng)下，爸爸創(chuàng)辦了自己的一家小企業(yè)。最后爸爸得到了人生的教訓(xùn)——有時(shí)候我們真的需要來(lái)自外部的驅(qū)動(dòng)。

【1】句意：每個(gè)星期六，他晚飯后騎馬到鎮(zhèn)上，……

rode騎；walked步行；ran跑；drove開車。根據(jù)前文“…h(huán)e had a horse.”可知，他騎馬到鎮(zhèn)上。故選A。

【2】句意：午夜前，爸爸騎著馬回家，對(duì)自己的生活很滿意。

horse馬；party聚會(huì)；life生活，生命；beer啤酒。根據(jù)前文“Every Saturday…Dad returned home on his horse,”可知，講述爸爸以前的生活，此處表示爸爸對(duì)自己的生活很滿意。故選C。

【3】句意：用他的話說(shuō)，他從來(lái)沒(méi)有想過(guò)換工作。

often經(jīng)常；ever曾經(jīng)；never從不；sometimes有時(shí)。根據(jù)前文可知，爸爸對(duì)自己的生活很滿意，所以他從來(lái)沒(méi)有想過(guò)換工作。故選C。

【4】句意：第二年春天，我哭著來(lái)到這個(gè)世界上。

laughing笑；singing唱歌；sleeping睡覺(jué)；crying哭。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，人是哭著來(lái)到這個(gè)世界上。故選D。

【5】句意：她告訴爸爸他們必須改變。

living謀生；change改變；decision決定；house房子。根據(jù)后文“So she persuaded (勸說(shuō)) Dad to give up his job as a farmhand,…”可知，媽媽告訴爸爸必須改變。故選B。

【6】句意：于是，她說(shuō)服父親放棄農(nóng)場(chǎng)工人的工作，賣掉他的馬，創(chuàng)辦了自己的一家小企業(yè)。

start開始，創(chuàng)辦；find發(fā)現(xiàn)，找到；design設(shè)計(jì)；sell銷售。根據(jù)空后“a small business of his own”可知，應(yīng)是創(chuàng)辦自己的一家小企業(yè)。故選A。

【7】句意：我大學(xué)畢業(yè)時(shí)，她甚至把我送到國(guó)外接受高等教育。

farther更遠(yuǎn)的；higher更高的；easier更容易的；closer更近的。根據(jù)空后名詞education可知，應(yīng)是更高等的教育。故選B。

showed展示；kept保持；lost丟失；achieved取得，實(shí)現(xiàn)。根據(jù)后文“Dad runs a big international company and I am a successful lawyer…”可知，爸爸和作者取得了今天的成就。故選D。

【9】句意：……盡管我并不像我媽媽所期望的那樣成為一名領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。

if如果，表?xiàng)l件；though盡管，表讓步；and和，表并列；since因?yàn)�，既然，表原因。前面說(shuō)成了一名成功的律師，后面說(shuō)不像媽媽期望的那樣成為一名領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，前后是讓步關(guān)系，故用連詞though。故選B。

【10】句意：所以他得到了人生的教訓(xùn)——有時(shí)候我們真的需要來(lái)自外部的驅(qū)動(dòng)。

So所以，表因果；However然而，表轉(zhuǎn)折；Or或者，表選擇；Because因?yàn)�，表原因。根�?jù)前文可知，在媽媽的驅(qū)動(dòng)下，爸爸取得了成就，所以他得到了人生的教訓(xùn)。此處表示因果關(guān)系。故選A。

完形填空題與單項(xiàng)選擇題不同，它給出的是一篇意思較為完整的短文。做該題型試題時(shí)，首先應(yīng)跳過(guò)空格通讀全文，以全文為背景，聯(lián)系句子的上下文進(jìn)行推理和判斷，從四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出一項(xiàng)進(jìn)行試填�？忌�可以從詞義用法、固定搭配、邏輯推理和上下文的聯(lián)系等方面去考慮。例如小題1，應(yīng)根據(jù)上文得出答案；例如小題9，根據(jù)上下文邏輯推理是讓步關(guān)系，故用連詞though。最后應(yīng)再把全文通覽一遍，細(xì)心檢查所選答案能否使短文上下連貫，前后呼應(yīng)，詞句通順，使短文意思完整。檢查時(shí)還應(yīng)從語(yǔ)法、慣用法、邏輯推理和事情發(fā)生的情節(jié)等方面進(jìn)行考慮，以達(dá)到準(zhǔn)確無(wú)誤之目的。
