Of course, she wasn"t really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only ____     to her as "My Aunt Fannie" because it always made my father chuckle and my mother look  ____     at both of us—at me for being _____     of my elder and at my father for _____     my bad behavior. I  ____     both reactions so I grasped every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the _____      of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty and her twin brother, Farnsworth. They represented the ____     of the Cratty line. Neither had married  ____     had any living heirs(继承人) and my father once told me in a whisper that it was because they were both too  ____     to share their family wealth. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever  ____     by anyone in Glenfield. She was noted for her jam and for never  ____     the recipe with anyone else. ____     my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she ____     made the jam without Ms. Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.
One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a  ____      and then made me promise that I would never spend it. " ____      this quarter," she said, "and some day you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter given by my grandfather." It had obviously  ____     for her. So I followed her advice.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people"s eye Aunt Fannie"s  ____     was attributed to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a  ____     recipe. However, I keep them as  ____     to hold firmly the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a ____     that anyone can build.

解析

试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过讲述芬妮姨妈和她的蓝莓酱配方，向我们说明金钱只可以暂时让人感觉富有，唯有和他人的关系以及和朋友家人们一起度过的那些日子的美好回忆才会让我们变的真正富有。
小题1:D动词辨析。 A. called 叫；B. thought认为 ；C. regarded 看做 ；D. referred提及。固定搭配：refer to sb as 称呼某人……，答案选D。句意：出于对她的恐惧,我从没当面这样称呼过她。
小题2:B 副词辨析。A. coldly 冷地； B. severely 严厉地；C. delightedly 高兴地 ； D. politely 礼貌地 。 根据破折号后面内容可知母亲对这个称呼感到不满，所以是严厉地瞪着我们，选B。
小题3:C形容词辨析。 A. disappointed 失望的； B. disagreeable不同意的； C. disrespectful不敬的 ； D. dissatisfied不满意的。根据前面我对芬妮姨妈的称呼以及后面母亲认为父亲纵容我可知瞪着我是因为我对长辈不尊,be disrespectful of “对某人不尊敬，无理”，选C。
小题4:A 动词辨析。A. encouraging鼓励；B. scolding责备 ；C. forcing 强迫；D. pushing督促。从上文可知我的这个称呼总惹得我父亲咯咯笑,所以母亲板起脸来直瞪着我和父亲，瞪着父亲是因为他纵容我的不良行为，答案选A。
小题5:D动词辨析。A. hated 憎恨 ；B. respected 尊敬；C. treated对待 ；D. enjoyed喜欢。根据后句内容“我总是伺机尽可能地将那个称呼用到我们平常的对话里来”可以判断父母的两种反应都让我感到有趣，所以才会经常说，选D。
小题6:B名词辨析。A. barn粮仓；B. kitchen 厨房 ；C. yard庭院；D. garden花园。根据下文可知母亲是在她家厨房里帮忙做活，故答案选B。
小题7:C名词辨析。A. beginning开始； B. start 开始；C. end结尾；D. glory 光荣。根据后文内容可知他们两个都没有结婚也没有继承人，所以这个家族到他们这里就结束了，答案选C。
小题8:A连词辨析。A. nor 也不；B. and 和 ；C. but 但是； D. yet还。固定搭配neither……nor “既不……也不”，句意：他们既没结婚也没有继承人，答案选A。
小题9:D形容词辨析。A. proud骄傲；   B. generous慷慨； C. strict 严格； D. mean自私的。从下文内容可知芬妮姨妈把配方当成秘密，不愿与任何人分享其秘方，因此判断她是一个很吝啬，小气的人，选D。
小题10:B动词辨析。  A. seen看见；B. tasted 品尝 ；C. cooked 做饭；D. sold卖。从文章内容可知母亲帮忙做的蓝莓酱是当地味道最好的，也就是人们品尝过的最好的蓝莓酱，根据语境可知选B。

小题12:C短语辨析。  A. As though 虽然；B. As if 好像；C. Even though尽管； D. Even if如果。由前后句内容判断此处是让步关系：尽管那个秘方我母亲早已背得滚瓜烂熟……，故答案选C。
小题13:B副词辨析。A. ever曾经；B. never绝不；C. still依旧；D. yet还。从上文内容可知芬妮姨妈不允许把秘方透露出去，所以没有她在厨房里指挥整个制作流程以此来守住这个秘方,母亲绝不会私下做那种蓝莓酱。答案选B。
小题14:A名词辨析。 A. quarter 一刻钟；B. bill 账单； C. note 笔记；D. cheque支票。根据空后内容"__35__ this quarter,"判断芬妮姨妈给了我一枚价值25分的硬币,并要我承诺决不会花掉它。选A。

小题18:D形容词辨析。A. usual 寻常 ；B. normal 正常； C. ordinary平常； D. common普通。根据下文内容可知作者不认为那枚硬币会对成功起作用，认为那只是一枚普通的硬币而已，故答案选D。
小题19:C名词辨析。A. regulations标准； B. reflections影像；C. reminders提醒物；  D. rewards奖励。由上文判断作者没有认为那枚硬币会给人带来成功的运气，他只是把那枚硬币当做提醒自己把握住人生中那些珍贵东西的一个物品而已，故答案选C。
