When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, every time he asked me 【1】(hold)the hammer(錘子) for him, just so we would have a time for a conversation with each other.

And when several years 【3】 ( late), I bought a house, my dad was painting it by himself for three days in the 38℃ summer heat. All he asked was to hold his paint brush and talk to him.

One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as 【4】(usually), I noticed that my dad had totally forgotten some things that we talked 【5】(late). I was in a hurry, so our conversation was a bit short.

【10】more

【解析】

本文講述作者自己的父親操勞一生，為了子女和家庭兢兢業(yè)業(yè)，不辭辛勞，但是作者卻以太忙為理由沒(méi)有花足夠的時(shí)間與自己的父親聊天，父親的去世給作者留下很大的遺憾。

【1】句意：每次，他讓我給他拿著錘子。

句中ask是動(dòng)詞，固定搭配是ask ab. to do sth.，表示“請(qǐng)求（或要求）某人做某事”，所以此處應(yīng)使用動(dòng)詞不定式to hold。故填to hold。

【2】句意：我從沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)我爸爸喝酒或出去過(guò)夜。

句中see是動(dòng)詞，固定搭配是see sb. do/doing sth.，表示“看見(jiàn)某人做過(guò)或者正在做某事”；句中and是并列連詞，且taking是動(dòng)名詞形式，前后保持一致，所以此處應(yīng)使用動(dòng)名詞形式drinking。故填drinking。

【3】句意：幾年后，我買(mǎi)了一棟房子，我爸爸在38攝氏度的炎熱中獨(dú)自粉刷了三天。

句中several years是一段時(shí)間，later可以放在一段時(shí)間之后，表示“……以后”。故填later。

【4】句意：一個(gè)星期天的早上，我們像往常一樣通了電話。

usually是副詞，其形容詞形式為usual，固定搭配as usual意為“像往常一樣”。故填usual。

【5】句意：我發(fā)現(xiàn)我爸爸完全忘記了我們近期談過(guò)的一些事情。

根據(jù)句中“my dad had totally forgotten some things”可知，此處作者父親忘記的是他們近期說(shuō)過(guò)的一些事情；lately是副詞，意為“近來(lái)，不久前”，用在此處符合題意。故填lately。

【6】句意：我馬上買(mǎi)了一張機(jī)票。

根據(jù)上一句中was是is的過(guò)去式，可知此處時(shí)態(tài)是一般過(guò)去時(shí)，所以用動(dòng)詞buy的過(guò)去式。故填bought。

【7】句意：在路上，我正在在考慮所有特殊的場(chǎng)合，和我爸爸聊天。

根據(jù)句中on my way可知，此處是“在我乘坐飛機(jī)的途中”，表示的是過(guò)去的是一段時(shí)間，所以此處時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)使用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)，表示“在乘坐飛機(jī)途中我正在思考”，過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)結(jié)構(gòu)為was/were+doing；主語(yǔ)是I，be動(dòng)詞用was，think的現(xiàn)在分詞是thinking。故填was thinking。

【8】句意：在我到達(dá)醫(yī)院的時(shí)候，我父親已經(jīng)去世了。

根據(jù)后半句中had passed away為過(guò)去完成時(shí)，可知，此處句中的時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)為一般過(guò)去時(shí)，所以應(yīng)使用動(dòng)詞arrive的過(guò)去式。故填arrived。

【9】句意：他死后，我對(duì)他有了很多了解。

根據(jù)句中his是形容詞物主代詞，可知其后要接名詞；die是動(dòng)詞，其名詞形式為death。故填death。

【10】句意：我對(duì)他了解了很多，對(duì)我自己也有了更多的了解。

根據(jù)句中的even是修飾形容詞或副詞比較級(jí)，much的比較級(jí)形式為more。故填more。
