答案解析：

本文为记叙文。养了十几年的心爱的宠物狗被药毒死了。然而，因为继父的隐瞒，作者在一周后才得知这一消息。作者满怀的悲伤化作了对继父的愤懑，是妈妈的一句话让作者明白了一个永生难忘的道理。

小题1:答案：C　狗肚子里长了肿瘤，自然是非常疼痛。

小题2:答案：A　有时候，散步的途中，它总是趴在地上，一步也迈不动了。情态动词would这里表示某种倾向或习惯性动作，意思是“总是……”。

小题3:答案：B　此处指饱受病痛折磨的狗步履艰难。

小题4:答案：D　与其说它是宠物，不如说它更像是我的姐妹。

小题5:答案：D　这里指狗已经死去的事实(truth)。plan计划；accident事故；anecdote逸事，趣闻。

小题6:答案：B　因为种种原因，继父将狗死去的消息推迟一周之后才告诉我们，故选项中只有B符合语境。wait推迟，延缓；lie说谎；reflect反映；hesitate犹豫，不情愿。

小题7:答案：A　因为继父没有告知实情，我以为狗仍然在动物医院里。

小题8:答案：C　这里指萦绕在我脑海中的各种想法。fact事实，真相；opinion意见；doubt怀疑，疑惑。

小题9:答案：C　出于对我的保护，家人习惯于对我隐瞒真相。have a habit of doing sth.有做某事的习惯。

小题10:答案：D　根据上文可推断出，我知道姨妈患癌症是在姨妈的身体已恢复之后。

小题11:答案：B　根据下文可推知，我试图求助于妈妈，发泄对继父的不满。turn to sb.求助于某人；adjust to 适应，调节；contribute to 为……做贡献；relate to 与……有关，涉及。

小题12:答案：A　第二段第三句中But I was also angry at my stepfather以及下文的I'm so angry with Steve都提示这里应该选择A项。

小题13:答案：B　他不得不独自承受这一切。15空后Steve was going through也有提示。go through经历，遭受；break through突破；look through浏览；push through使通过。

小题14:答案：A　我太以自我为中心了。19空前的we focus so such on ourselves也有提示。be focused on注意力集中于；be hooked on对……着迷；be dependent on取决于；be hard on严厉对待。

小题15:答案：C　我从未想过Steve经受着什么。what引导宾语从句，且在从句中作宾语，意思是“什么”。

小题16:答案：D　他不得不做出结束它生命的决定。根据文章第一句中had to be put down可知，狗是被药毒死的。put down毒死(衰老或有病的动物)；人道毁灭。

小题17:答案：C　根据第5空后a week after it happened可知选C项。

小题18:答案：A　不仅没能意识到Steve的良苦用心，还生他的气，我现在觉得后悔不已。regret后悔；blame指责；sorrow悲伤；sympathy同情。

小题19:答案：B　我们对自己关注得太多，以至于忽略了别人的痛苦。ignore忽视；share分享；remind提醒；rid摆脱。

小题20:答案：C　那一刻，妈妈的话是一份极好的礼物，让我永生难忘。gift礼物；comfort安慰；compromise妥协；suggestion建议。
