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.

【解析】

试题分析：

1.C 推理题。根据第三段“Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.说明Sanchez是父亲的名字，婴儿刚刚出生还没有名字。护士带着孩子来找孩子的父亲，那么应该是询问父亲的名字。故C 正确。

2.D 推理题。根据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.我无法找到合适的词来形容我的内心，说明这种关键很难形容。故D正确。

3.B 细节题。根据文章第一句My son. The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it说明A是真的。根据The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah.”说明孩子哭着喊的不是“Daaaaad”故C是真的；根据最后一段that would change our lives for ever.

说明D正确。B没有提及。

4.D 推理题、根据文章Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.说明在过去的33年里我的父亲给我树立了一个很好的榜样。故D正确。
