21 A “艰苦”所以才需要儿子的帮忙；
22 B 根据文意是“帮助”；
23 C 后文有提示“plant”,“because your mother always loved planting time”；
24 C 虽然hate doing sth是较常用的句型,但是此处只有hate 能表达老人不愿意放弃种植的心态,这是与后几句话的意思相符合的,而且hate doing sth 在此处还能表达一种情感在里面,更有说服力和感染力；
25 A 只有“trouble”符合文意；
26 A “if”表示“如果”,与“unless"中文语义同,在英文里只有“if”用在肯定语气里；
27 B 收到 回信
28 C 让监狱里的“警察”来查；
29 C 因为你没有挖出枪,老人很“吃惊”；
30 D 老人没弄清楚情况,所以不知所措,向儿子问询,用“asked”.
