A、ever
B、never
C、still
D、once
【正确答案】：A
【题目解析】：在第（23）题中，空白处需要一个副词来修饰动词“having to leave”，表示“不得不离开家”的频率或可能性。 A选项“ever”表示“曾经”或“在任何时候”，用于否定句或疑问句中，表示“从未”或“是否曾经”的意思。在这个句子中，“without ever having to leave their home”表示“从未不得不离开家”，符合句意。 B选项“never”表示“从不”或“绝不”，用于肯定句中，表示“从未”的意思。如果放在这里，句子会变成“无需从不离开家”，这不符合语法和语境。 C选项“still”表示“仍然”或“还是”，用于表示某动作或状态持续存在。在这个句子中，使用“still”会使句意变得不清晰，因为“仍然不必离开家”与“从未离开家”表达的意思不同。 D选项“once”表示“曾经”或“一次”，用于描述某动作或事件只发生过一次。在这个句子中，“without once having to leave their home”表示“一次也没有离开过家”，这与句意不符。 因此，正确答案是A选项“ever”，它表示“从未不得不离开家”，符合句子的意思和语法规则。
