Question

【题目】 July 17, 2012 is a date that is forever kept in my memory. I will never forget my dad told me my mom’s routine kidney(肾脏) stone surgery had ended in sudden cardiac arrest(心脏骤停). She had been fine only 10 minutes before when she sent me a text message. The doctors told us she had to be put on life support, and she might not survive. I was 12 years old. I couldn’t even imagine my life without my mom. I was ____________and had no idea what was about to come.

Two weeks later she came out of coma(昏迷) and woke up. Four months later she came home from the hospital. Despite this incredibly happy news, we were left completely unprepared for the fact that my mom had suffered a severe brain injury during her three cardiac arrests. The woman who came home from the hospital wasn’t the mama who had raised me for 12 years. I didn’t know her nor ___________ her.

Her brain injury caused her to lose three years of memory and to have ___________ with both short term memory and long term memory. For instance, we might have a conversation and a few minutes later she would have no idea we even had spoken. She asked the same questions multiple times a day, often ___________ she even had asked them. I answered her as many times as she asked.

In the early days, I helped my mom relearn to read, write, walk, talk and eat. She couldn’t do any of these things well. It took her minutes to come up with a/(an) ____________when we would talk. She even __________her math skills, which were very advanced as she was a math teacher in a college. Now she struggles with third grade multiplication tables.

As a 19-year-old adult, I have grown up with my “new mom” for seven years. It can be frustrating for me to have to answer the same questions repeatedly or to show her how to do something again and again, yet at the same time I understand anything that is difficult for me is incredibly challenging for her. I tried to get to know her without the ___________ that she would be the same as she was before. Now I love her unconditionally and learn to be more ____________. We are closer than ever before.

【解析】

文章大意：2012年7月17日是一个永远留在我记忆中的日子。我永远不会忘记我父亲告诉我，我母亲例行的肾结石手术以心脏骤停告终。两周后，她从昏迷中苏醒过来。四个月后，她从医院回家。她的脑损伤使她失去了三年的记忆，并且有短期记忆和长期记忆的问题。作为一个19岁的成年人，我已经和我的“新妈妈”一起长大7年了。对我来说困难的事情对她来说是难以置信的挑战。我试着去了解她，没想到她会和以前一样。现在我无条件地爱她，学会更多地理解她。我们比以前更亲密了。
