【答案】

25. Wondering    26. what   27. which       28. had done     29. buying    30. Before   31. from       32. how  

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于记叙文，我在无意中发现妈妈偷偷地帮助难民，赞美了妈妈善良无私的美丽品质。

25. Wondering   考查现在分词做状语。动词wonder与本句主语I构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词wondering在句中做状语。

26. what                考查主语从句。本句中连接代词what引导主语从句what happened，并在句中做主语。句意：发生的事情真得让我很惊讶。

27. which       考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是the refugee camp，关系代词which指代先行词在定语从句中作为介词in的宾语，in which相当于关系副词where。

28. had done   考查时态。根据上下文可知本文介绍的是我被派到妈妈家附近工作，这是过去发生的事情，而妈妈帮助难民是在我来这里工作之前就发生的事情，所以应该使用过去完成时表示过去的过去发生的事情。

29. buying  考查动词短语。短语stop to do sth停下了做另外一件事情；stop doing sth停止做某事；句意：妈考点：考查语法填空
