答案解析：

小题1:　C

解析　根据下文“My mother­in­law was.”以及“Jelly making was just a way of life for my mother­in­law.”可知，作者不是这个家里做果酱的那个人。

小题2:　A

解析　根据第三段末句“...we carefully put them away in our kitchen.”可知，作者所做的就是保存这些瓶子。

小题3:　B

解析　根据the tasty gel和“...from picking the fruit to setting the ____ jelly on the home­made shelves.”可知，瓶子里装满了好吃的果酱。

小题4:　B

解析　每当作者想要做果酱三明治时，所要做的就是去取一瓶果酱。

小题5:　D

解析　根据第四段首句“The other day I reached the kitchen for some jelly...”可知答案。作者去取果酱，来做果酱三明治。

小题6:　B

解析　根据“...from picking the fruit to setting...”可知，破折号后面说明了做果酱的流程。

小题7:　C

解析　根据on the home­made shelves可知，应该是把做好了的果酱放在架子上。

小题8:　D

解析　根据上文“My mother­in­law passed away last December.”可知，应该是大家分婆婆留下来的东西。

小题9:　A

解析　根据下文“...many jars of tomato juice，green beans and jelly.”可知，所分的东西是这些美味的罐装食品。

小题10:　A

解析　根据上文“...which my mother­in­law would ____ with the tasty gel and send back home with us.”可知，作者和婆婆不住在一起，所以可推知丈夫把这些果酱带回家。

小题11:　A

解析　根据a small jar可知，架子的末端就剩下这一瓶果酱了。

小题12:　D

解析　根据“...and most days it was something that was taken for granted.”可知，作者意识到之前没有意识到的一些事。

小题13:A

解析　根据上文“Sitting all ____ on the far side of the shelf was a small jar.”可知，这是最后一瓶果酱。下文to give up this last jelly jar也有提示。

小题14:C

解析　根据全文可知，作者通过果酱三明治回忆了婆婆的爱心。loving符合语境。

小题15:　A

解析　根据下文“...and most days it was something that was taken for granted.”可知，一瓶果酱看起来是一件小事。

小题16:　B

解析　与上文“...it was something that was taken for granted.”构成转折关系。且根据下文“But I’m just not ____ to give up this last jelly jar，and all the ____ its presence allows me to hold onto.”可知，对作者来说，这是一件有价值的珍贵的东西。

小题17:　C

解析　根据上文“My mother­in­law passed away last December.”可知，作者家有些东西曾经是婆婆的。

小题18:　C

解析　根据上文“I put the jelly back on the shelf.”可知，作者不愿意吃掉最后一瓶果酱。

小题19:　B

解析　全文通过一瓶果酱表达了对婆婆的思念。由此可知，作者不只是为了保留一瓶果酱，更重要的是果酱给作者带来的回忆。

小题20:　D

解析　根据下文“It will either have to be eaten or thrown out...but not today.”可知，这瓶果酱不会保存很长时间。
