问题     As she walked round the huge department store, Elaine【C1】______how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She【C2】______that he were as easy to please as her mother, who was【C3】______delighted with perfume.【C4】______, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience: people【C5】______on your toes, pushed you with their elbows and almost knocked you【C6】______in their【C7】______to get to a bargain【C8】______of you.
    Partly to have a rest, Elaine paused in front of a(n)【C9】______where some attractive ties were on display. "They are real silk," the assistant【C10】______her, trying to persuade her. "【C11】______double the price. " But Elaine knew from her past experience that her【C12】______of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
    She moved on reluctantly and then【C13】______by chance, stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on【C14】______and the prices were very reasonable. Elaine did not【C15】______for long;【C16】______her father only smoke a cigar occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was【C17】______to please him.
    When she got home, with her small but【C18】______present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already【C19】______table having supper. Her mother was in an especially cheerful【C20】______. "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she informed her daughter.
【C2】
选项 A、hoped
B、thought
C、realized
D、wished
答案D
解析 此处需要一个可以接宾语从句的动词，Elaine希望自己的父亲能像母亲一样很容易满足，但是这个希望不大可能实现。wish接that从句时一般表示某种强烈而又难以实现的“愿望”，而hope表示的是可以实现或能达到的“希望”，故填wished。
