【解析】父亲节那天，作者因为心情不好而拒绝了父亲的“去骑车”的提议，从而说出“Leave me alone！”这样的话。而就在那天，当作者和朋友们从购物中心回来，才发现母亲留的便条，上面说父亲因车祸住院，作者认为自己早上对父亲说的话深深的伤害了父亲，感到十分内疚。几天后，作者和已经能开口交谈的父亲谈论了这件事，然后对父亲道歉。这个故事告诉我们语言的力量，它能伤人也能治愈人，所以对于自己所说的话一定要慎重。

【1】句意：我的两个朋友前一天晚上去看电影了，他们两个都没邀请我。A. One 一；B. Two二；C. Three 三；D. Four 四。neither指两者都不，因此这里指两个朋友，故答案为B。

【2】句意：当我爸爸进来的时候，我在房间里想着如何让他们道歉。A. thinking about思考；B. caring about关心；C. worrying about担心；D. talking about谈论。根据语境…ways to make them sorry，应该是想出让他们道歉的方法，故答案选A。

【3】句意：那是我那天早上对他说的最后一句话。A. common普通的；B. last最后的；C. interesting有趣的；D. polite有礼貌的。根据下文可知作者后来就和朋友出去逛街了，回来后家里没人，妈妈在桌子上给他留了张纸条说爸爸遇车祸住院了，由此可判断出由于作者当时心情不好，所以"No! Leave me alone!"应是那天早上他和爸爸说的最后一句话，故答案选B。

【4】句意：我忘了生他们的气，就跟他们一起去了。A. strict严厉的；B. happy高兴的；C. pleased高兴的；D. angry生气的。根据上文I was in a terrible mood，可知他本来是跟朋友生气的，be angry with对…生气，故选D。

【5】句意：我发现妈妈的一张字条，上面写着：爸爸出了车祸。请在公园医院接我们。A. letter书信；B. diary日记；C. note 便条；D. email电子邮件。考查名词词义辨析，根据下句 “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”上面还有文字的东西，可以判断是妈妈留下的便条，故用名词note便条，答案选C。

【6】句意：你爸爸告诉司机别管他，拨打911。A. me我；B. them 他们；C. her她；D. him他。根据前面Your father told the driver，可知此处指代的是爸爸，指爸爸告诉司机让他自己呆着，即别管他，所以用him，答案选D。

【7】句意：我妈妈可能说得更多，但除了那些可怕的话，我什么也听不到。A. except除……外； B. besides除了……外；C. towards朝，向…；D. beside在……旁边。根据前句My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear可知作者没有听妈妈说话，结合Leave me alone. How much had I hurt him when I shouted at him earlier that day? 可知此处作者对自己以前对他爸爸所说的“Leave me alone.”的行为感到很后悔，所以此处应该是指除了"Leave me alone！"这句话，我什么都没听到，besides表示“除了…之外，还有…”，except表示“除了之外…，没有”。故此处用except，答案选A。

【8】句意：几天后，他终于能说话了。A. possibly可能地；B. finally最后；C. suddenly突然地； D. sadly悲伤地。根据It was several days later，可知经过漫长的几天救治后，爸爸终于能说话了，强调不易。故用副词finally最后，最终。答案故选B。

【9】句意：“不，”我说，“我是说那天我对你说过的话。A. how怎么样；B. why为什么；C. what什么；D. that那个。本句中，I mean_____9_____I said to you that day. You know, that morning.所填单词应该作为said的宾语，说的什么内容，即what，后跟宾语从句。故答案选C。

【10】句意：我们都有权选择该说些什么。A. keep保持；B. write写；C. understand理解；D. choose选择。根据上文My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal（治愈），可知选择什么样的话语也是很重要的，它可以伤害你也可以治愈你，所以此处应是指我们有权力选择自己所说的话，故用动词choose，答案选B。
