I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice. The look on his face said that one of us did something     .
“Which one of you did this?”
We all looked down at the step. There was child’s handwriting in chalk there. I had a lot of
    . I hoped no one could see it. Would he guess it was me? I was so worried. When he asked me, I lied, “Not me, Dad.” The others denied（否认）it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of       must have done it. But as the youngest and smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find the courage to tell the truth.
To       who had written on the step, Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to     exactly what you see on the step.”
I tried my best to write the words     . I didn’t want Dad to be able to tell it was me.
He       our pieces of paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will admit (承认) to have done it, then I will punish (惩罚) you      and said nothing. The last thing I wanted was for Dad to       me.
“I did it.” My sister said she did something that she didn’t. Father grounded her for a month.
We didn’t talk about that day for many years. Not until we were all older and I knew it was        to finally tell my dad it was really me. I always felt sorry for it. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame (责备) for me.

解析

试题分析：短文大意：作者在小时候做了一件错事，但没有勇气承认。直到长大后才明白了他最终告知父亲真情是安全的。
小题1:考查形容词及语境理解。hard 难的，硬的； wrong 错误的； special 特别的；true 真实的。结合上句I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice.可知本句句意：他脸上的表情说明我们中的一个做错了什么。所以选B。
小题2:考查名词及语境理解。surprise 惊奇； happiness 幸福；fear 害怕； joy快乐。根据下句I hoped no one could see it.可推知本句句意：当他问我时，我有很多的恐惧。故选C。
小题3:考查人称代词及语境理解。them 他们； me 我； you 你，你们；us 我们。句意：当然，我们都知道我们当中的一个必须这么做。所填词跟在介词of之后，所以选D。
小题4:考查动词短语及语境理解。find out 找出，发现；talk about 谈论；think about 考虑； look for寻找。结合语境可知父亲给了我们每人一张纸和一支铅笔是想查出谁写的。 所以选A。
小题5:考查动词及语境理解。write 写； read 读； recite背诵；draw画。句意：我希望你们每个人写清楚你看到了什么。 根据前面父亲给了纸和笔可知选A。
小题6:考查副词及语境理解。clearly 清晰地； slowly 慢慢地；differently不同地； carefully仔细地。根据下句I didn’t want Dad to be able to tell it was me.可推知此处是说我尽我所能写不一样的话。所以选C。
小题7:考查动词及语境理解。opened 开；colored 着色； showed 给…看；collected 收集。此处是说父亲收集了我们写过的纸。所以选D。
小题8:考查不定代词及语境理解。only 只，仅仅； all 全都； both 两者都；one 一。句意：然后我会惩罚你们，没有说什么。所以选B。
小题9:考查动词及语境理解。beat 打败； teach 教；punish惩罚； understand 理解。句意：我想要的最后一件事是爸爸来惩罚我。所以选C。
小题10:考查形容词及语境理解。lucky 幸运的； silly 愚蠢的；easy 容易的； safe安全。句意：直到我们都大了，我才知道最后告诉我爸爸是我是安全的。所以选 D。
