【分析】

本文主要通过讲述七十岁汤姆生日时，希望孩子们能在身边陪他一起过生日，呼吁人们要多陪陪父母，因为血浓于水。

1 ．

句意：但是没有人和他在一起。

in 在 …… 里面； with 和 …… 一起； over 在 …… 上面； about 关于。根据 “He feels very disappointed.” 可推断，应该是没有人和他在一起。故选 B 。

2 ．

句意：虽然蛋糕很好吃，但他不想碰它。

Although 虽然； Because 因为； If 如果； Since 因为。根据 “…the cake is very delicious, he doesn’t want to touch it.” 可知，空格所在句的前后句构成了转折，用 “although” 引导让步状语从句。故选 A 。

3 ．

句意：他只期望他的孩子们能来和他 d 待在一起。

expects 期望； hopes 希望； makes 使； notices 注意。 expect sb. to do sth. 期望某人做某事。故选 A 。

4 ．

句意：现在，许多人很忙，很少去看望父母。

usually 通常； often 经常； seldom 很少； always 总是。根据 “many people are so busy” 可推断，很多人忙，所以 “ 很少 ” 看望父母。故选 C 。

5 ．

句意：然而，血浓于水。

less 更少； more 更多； much 许多，修饰比较级； little 少量。根据 “Our dear parents make every effort to bring us up, so we are supposed to treat them well when they become old.” 可推断，空格处要表达血比水 “ 更 ” 浓， “thicker” 是比较级，用 “much” 修饰。故选 C 。
