四．阅读理解（每小题 2 分，满分30分）

A

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(超声波) 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 say 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 I 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 suddenly, my 80-year-old father entered, and we embraced(拥抱).　　“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 little human being that would change our lives for ever.51．The author couldn’t tell how he felt at the moment because ____．　　A． he was a writer ???????????????B． he was too excited　　C． he was too nervous ????????????D． it’s a feeling too hard to express52．We can learn the following from the passage EXCEPT that ____．　　A．the author got his first baby 　　B．he probably had a lung disease　　C．the author didn’t really hear “Daaaaad” from his baby　　D．the baby would change the author’s life53．Why was the writer sure he was going to be a great father?　　A．Because his son is so gifted．　　B．Because he had much experience in bringing up children．　　C．Because his father promised to help him．　　D．Because his father had already set him a good example．
