参考解析
解析：考查情态动词。根据句意“哥哥将永远不再回来了吗？”有“应该”“应”意思的B,D选项被排除。只有would有将要的意思，符合句意。故选C。
考查介词搭配。此句意为“这些年来，海伦已经放弃了等待马丁对她产生兴趣。”give in意为“屈服，让步”,give up意为“放弃”，符合句意；give out意为“分发，公布”, give away意为“泄露，出卖”。故选B。
A项depress偏重表达“数量的减少或价值的降低”；B项weaken一般来说偏重“情感”方面的减弱、变淡；C项lower偏重在“数量或质量”上的减少或降低；D项faint偏重于“视觉”的变淡、模糊。此句表达的是Helen对他的感情慢慢变淡，故选B。
此句表达的是Helen非常急切地想知道她的哥哥到底发生了什么事的一种 “急切的好奇的”感觉，故四个选项中只有curiosity最贴切，故选C。
become of sb./sth.…是短语，意为“发生某种情况；遭遇……”。故选A。
根据上下文可知，Martin在没有任何征兆的情况下就失去了工作。A项 caution指“警察的口头警告”，C项advice意为“劝告，忠告”,D项signal意为“信号，暗号”，只有B项warning有“征兆，前兆”之意。故选B。
此句意为“在某种程度上他俩不会因为彼此联系或不联系而烦扰”，其中A 项mind意为“介意”,B项concern意为“担心，担忧”；C项worry意为“使担心，使焦虑”，只有 D项bother有“烦扰”之意。故选D。
此句表达的是Helen对自己的判断的“信心”渐渐增加。A项dependence 意为“依靠、依赖”；C项certainty意为“确定性，无疑”；D项courage意为“勇气，胆量”；B项 confidence可与介词in搭配，意为“对……有信心”。故选B。
ignore“不顾，不理，忽视”,omit“省略，疏,” ,avoid“回避，避免”,prevent“防止，预防”。此句表达的是“Hele不顾及父母的意愿”。故选A。
此句强调的是在学业过程中，故应用through一词；across强调“横穿”，故选C。
gain意再些获得，博得”,reach意为“达到”,start意为“开始”,open意为“打开”，此句表达Helen很快声名鹊起。故选A。
考查介词搭配。此处意为“……而且她的画作足以维持生活”。live for意为“盼望，为……而生活”；live by意为“以……为生”；live with意为“忍受，承认”；而live on意为“靠……生活”，与句意相符。故选D。
短语take no pleasure in…“不以……为乐/感到高兴”。故选B。
短语couldn't help doing sth.“情不自禁做某事”。故选A。
soft意为“柔软的”,fine意为“好的”,quiet意为“暗中的，未表露的”,still 意为“静止的，不动的”。此句表达Helen的那种未言语的欣慰之情，故选C。
