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   36  a different life. It was a transitional（過渡的）time in Daniel's life. I wanted to    37   him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the    38  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   39   the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar   40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him    41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42  me.

Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43   opportunities. How many times have I let such moments   44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have  45  to me. Or what he might   46   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?    47   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always    48   never hearing him put his   49    into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50  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    51 , 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    52  of was the stubble（短須）on his chin as his face pressed   53   mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was  55  .

【解析】

試題分析：父愛無語。離別時作為父親的“我”該向兒子說些什么呢？簡短而又略顯不得體的話“假如讓我選擇的話，我會選擇你”讓兒子深深地懂得了父子情深。

1.考查動詞：A. experience經驗，經歷，B. spend花費，C. enjoy享受，D. shape形狀，體驗一種不同的生活。experience 有“經歷、體驗”的意思。enjoy 意為“享受”，不符合語境。選A。

2.考查動詞：A. show 展示，B. give給，C. leave留下，D. instruct 指導，B “我想留給他一些有重要意義的話語。”故用leave。其他選項不符合語境。 選C。

3.考查形容詞：A. last最后的，B. first最先的，C. very正是，D. next下一個，根據下文判斷這不是“我”第一次讓這種時刻溜走。選B

4.考查介詞：A. upward向上，B. into到…里面，C. down向下，D. up向上，根據情景判斷，表示“上車”，所以用up。 選D

6.考查名詞：A. interest興趣，B. instruction指示，C. courage 勇氣，D. direction方向，指導，根據所填詞的并列項 confidence 及下文as 引導的句子可以判斷，此處作者想說點什么以給兒子勇氣和信心。故C 項符合語境。
