小题3:本题考查连词。it would be +一段时间+before...为固定句型，意为“将要过多久才……”。

小题10:本题考查形容词。如果老人约会去迟了，老人的妻子会不会为他而担心，这是人之常情。故选B。
小题11:本题考查副词。由she had not been able to 47__ him for five years now 可知她已经不再知道他是谁。
小题12:本题考查动词。由下文even though she doesn’t know who you are可知老人的妻子已经有五年都不认识他了。A意为“认出，识别”；B意为“回答”；C意为“相信”；D意为“希望，期望”。
小题13:本题考查形容词。当听到老人的话，“我”感到很惊讶。C符合语境。
小题14:本题考查副词。由上文可知老人明知道他妻子已经认不出他来了，但他却和她约会共进早餐，说明老人仍然坚持每天都去。
小题15:本题考查名词。“我”被老人的话所感动，所以“抑制住”自己的眼泪。
小题16:本题考查动词。通过这件事使“我”意识到什么是真正的爱。
