题目内容
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(过渡的) 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(短须) 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 .

文章讲述了父亲送儿子Daniel到法国，在分手之际想对儿子说出一直想说的话，却最终还是没有说出来的故事。父子只是深情相拥，互相之间的爱尽在不言中。
1.A体验一种不同的生活。experience有"经历、体验"的意思。enjoy意为"享受"，不符合语境。
2.B "我想给他一些有重要意义的话语。"故用give。其他选项不符合语境。
3.B根据下文判断这不是"我"第一次让这种时刻溜走。
4.D根据情景判断，表示"上车"，所以用up。
5.B a similar scene类似的一幕(情景) 。
6.C根据所填词的并列项confidence及下文as引导的句子可以判断，此处作者想说点什么以给儿子勇气和信心。故C项符合语境。
7.A Words failed me相当于I couldn't express how I felt，意为"我说不出话来"。
8.D根据上下文可知，作者在回忆那些已经失去了的机会。
9.B根据第一段最后一句可知答案。pass在此处指(时间) 流逝。
10.B mean意味着。本句的意思为"我无法找到一个安静的时候来告诉他他对我来说意味着什么"。
11.C expect预料，预计。think后面不能接动词不定式；want和wish表示主观上的意愿或希望。
12.A上文的言下之意是这件事情不重要，这样本句和上文构成转折关系，所以用But。
13.B作者对没有听到父亲对他表达爱的话而感到遗憾，所以用regret。
14.C把情感(feelings) 通过语言(words) 的形式表达出来。
15.C根据上文判断，作者不知道为什么向儿子说一些肺腑之言如此困难。hard困难的，符合语境。essential必不可少的；complex复杂的。
16.A根据下文的there were just Daniel and me判断本句表示世界消失(disappear) 了。
17.C "我"能感觉到的是……be aware of感觉到，意识到；be convinced of相信，确信；be tired of对……厌倦。sensitive敏感的，常用be sensitive to意为"对.•••••敏感"。根据语境可知C项正确。
18.B根据语境"他的脸贴着我的脸"可知， press against"使贴着"符合语境。
19.A根据下文It was nothing可知答案c clumsy笨拙的;gentle温柔的;absurd荒唐的;moving感动人的。
20.D本句和上句构成转折关系(and yet相当于however) '所以±真everything和nothing相对应。
