答案 C
7．A.Even if B．So that

答案 A
19．A.painful B．sad
C．expensive D．lovely
解析 根据语境可知，此处应选lovely，表现的是一种强烈的讽刺效果，增强了语言的表现力。而painful，sad两词会使语言的色调索然无味，暗淡无光。
答案 D
20．A.moving B．trembling
C．reacting D．freezing
解析 根据语境可知，当老人看到女儿给自己的礼物竟然是一张支票时，她感到既失望又痛心，所以应选trembling，意为“颤抖的，战栗的”，生动地表现了老人当时的心情和神态；moving意为“动人的”，reacting意为“反应的”，freezing意为“冰冻的，严寒的”，均不符合语境。
