Question

  In the doorway of my home,I looked closely at my 23-year-old son,Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 1     a different life. It was a transitional(過渡的) time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 2      him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips,and this was not the 3      time I had let such moments pass.

  When Daniel was five,I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, " What is it going to be like,Dad? Can I do it?" Then he walked 4      the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 5      played itself out.

I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 6      and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 7      me.

  Now,as I stood before him,I thought of those 8      opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 9      ？I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what he has 10      to me or what he might 11      to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 12      as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet I always 13      never hearing him put his 14      into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 15      to tell a son something from the heart?

  My mouth turned dry,and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. "Daniel," I said, "If I could have picked, I would have picked you. " That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 16      ，and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes,and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 17      of was the stubble(短須) on his chin as his face pressed 18      mine. What I had said to Daniel was 19      . It was nothing. And yet,it was 20      .

文章講述了父親送兒子Daniel到法國，在分手之際想對(duì)兒子說出一直想說的話，卻最終還是沒有說出來的故事。父子只是深情相擁，互相之間的愛盡在不言中。

1.A體驗(yàn)一種不同的生活。experience有"經(jīng)歷、體驗(yàn)"的意思。enjoy意為"享受"，不符合語境。

2.B "我想給他一些有重要意義的話語。"故用give。其他選項(xiàng)不符合語境。

3.B根據(jù)下文判斷這不是"我"第一次讓這種時(shí)刻溜走。

4.D根據(jù)情景判斷，表示"上車"，所以用up。

5.B a similar scene類似的一幕(情景) 。

6.C根據(jù)所填詞的并列項(xiàng)confidence及下文as引導(dǎo)的句子可以判斷，此處作者想說點(diǎn)什么以給兒子勇氣和信心。故C項(xiàng)符合語境。

7.A Words failed me相當(dāng)于I couldn't express how I felt，意為"我說不出話來"。

8.D根據(jù)上下文可知，作者在回憶那些已經(jīng)失去了的機(jī)會(huì)。

9.B根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知答案。pass在此處指(時(shí)間) 流逝。

10.B mean意味著。本句的意思為"我無法找到一個(gè)安靜的時(shí)候來告訴他他對(duì)我來說意味著什么"。

11.C expect預(yù)料，預(yù)計(jì)。think后面不能接動(dòng)詞不定式；want和wish表示主觀上的意愿或希望。

12.A上文的言下之意是這件事情不重要，這樣本句和上文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以用But。

13.B作者對(duì)沒有聽到父親對(duì)他表達(dá)愛的話而感到遺憾，所以用regr_et。

14.C把情感(feelings) 通過語言(words) 的形式表達(dá)出來。

15.C根據(jù)上文判斷，作者不知道為什么向兒子說一些肺腑之言如此困難。hard困難的，符合語境。essential必不可少的；complex復(fù)雜的。

16.A根據(jù)下文的there were just Daniel and me判斷本句表示世界消失(disappear) 了。

17.C   "我"能感覺到的是……be aware of感覺到，意識(shí)到；be convinced of相信，確信；be tired of對(duì)……厭倦。sensitive敏感的，常用be sensitive to意為"對(duì).•••••敏感"。根據(jù)語境可知C項(xiàng)正確。

18.B根據(jù)語境"他的臉貼著我的臉"可知， press against"使貼著"符合語境。

19.A根據(jù)下文It was nothing可知答案_c clumsy笨拙的;gentle溫柔的;absurd荒唐的;moving感動(dòng)人的。

20.D本句和上句構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系(and yet相當(dāng)于however) '所以±真everything和nothing相對(duì)應(yīng)。
