Question

My son. The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it, and I had to practice it a thousand times． I started saying the words to myself the day when the ultrasound told me we were having a baby．

Finally, my son was born.

The nurse came out of the delivery room, holding a tiny, howling human being wrapped in a white sheet, his small hands and delicate fingers shaking nervously. “Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.

I stood up, holding my breath． She showed me my baby． “My son,” I whispered. The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah.”

But in my heart I heard him cry out, “Daaaaaaad!” I don’t care if everyone in the room will swear they didn’t hear my baby say that. I called him, “My son,” and he called me “Dad,” and that’s that.

People ask me, “What did you feel at that moment?” I can’t even begin to answer. I’m a writer yet I try hard to find the right words. Joyful isn’t powerful enough. Bliss(狂喜) is not sweet enough. Peaceful isn’t calm enough. Happy isn’t tense enough.

After my son was taken away to the nursery, I sat down and shut my eyes. But tears escaped them away. Then out of the blue, my 80-year-old father entered, and we embraced.

“Dad,” I whispered.

“My son,” my heart heard him saying.

Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.

“My son,” I imagined him saying.

“Daaaaaaaaaad!” I cried my little lungs out.

At that point, I knew I was going to be a great father. The old man in front of me seemed to agree. He smiled and we walked out of the room in search of the tiny human being that would change our lives for ever.

Answer 1

【答案】

1.C

2.D

3.B

4.D

【解析】

試題分析：

1.C 推理題。根據第三段“Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.說明Sanchez是父親的名字，嬰兒剛剛出生還沒有名字。護士帶著孩子來找孩子的父親，那么應該是詢問父親的名字。故C 正確。

2.D 推理題。根據I can’t even begin to answer. I’m a writer yet I try hard to find the right words. Joyful isn’t powerful enough. Bliss(狂喜) is not sweet enough. Peaceful isn’t calm enough. Happy isn’t tense enough.我無法找到合適的詞來形容我的內心，說明這種關鍵很難形容。故D正確。

3.B 細節題。根據文章第一句My son. The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it說明A是真的。根據The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah.”說明孩子哭著喊的不是“Daaaaad”故C是真的；根據最后一段that would change our lives for ever.

說明D正確。B沒有提及。

4.D 推理題、根據文章Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.說明在過去的33年里我的父親給我樹立了一個很好的榜樣。故D正確。
