Mother: Baby, can you hear me?
Fetus: Where am I?
Mother: Oh, good! You can hear me. I'm your mother.
Fetus: Mama! Am I really inside your body? Water is everywhere.
Mother: Yes, you are.
Fetus: What is this sound? It's like thunder far away.
Mother: That's my heartbeat.
Fetus: I like this warm place. I want to stay here forever.
Mother: Ha, you can't! You've got to be born.
Fetus: Mama, you've never been where I am, have you?
Mother: I have! Before I was born, I was inside my mother, too. Except I don't remember what it was like there, and that's why you can't remember, either. Baby, is it dark inside Mommy?
Fetus: There's a bit of orange light coming from outside. It's like the color of the sky when the sun is just setting behind the mountain at Xitao Village.
Mother: You remember Xitao? That's where I was born! Then you must remember what Mommy looks like.
Fetus: I do know what you look like. I even know what you looked like when you were a child. Mama, do you remember the first time you saw yourself?
Mother: Oh, I don't remember that. I guess it must have been in a mirror(镜子).
Fetus: No, Mama. You saw yourself for the first time in the water.
Mother: I don't think so. Xitao is in Gansu. We were always short of water, and the air was full of dust.
Fetus: That's right. And I can see some pictures clearly in my mind. Grandma and Grandpa walked 5 kilometres every day to get water. One day, you went with Grandma to the well(井). It was hot, and you were thirsty, but you didn't ask for a drink because Grandma might be angry at you for not getting enough to drink at the well. But so many villagers had been lined up at the well that a little kid like you couldn't get past them to get water. Anyway, on the way back home, you looked into the water you were carrying and saw yourself. That was your first memory of seeing yourself.
Mother: Yes, baby, now I remember!

B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇对话。文章讲述了母亲与未出世的孩子之间的对话。
1. A 词义猜测题。根据“Mama! Am I really inside your body?”以及“You've got to be born.”可知，文中“Fetus”表示尚未出生的胎儿。故选A。
2. C 细节理解题。根据“I like this warm place. I want to stay here forever.”可知，胎儿所在的地方非常温暖舒适。故选C。
3. B 事件排序题。首先根据“One day, you went with Grandma to the well.”可知，母亲先跟外祖母去井边；其次，根据“Anyway, on the way back home, you looked into the water you were carrying and saw yourself. That was your first memory of seeing yourself.”可知，母亲在水中第一次看见自己；再次，根据“You can hear me.”可知，母亲发现胎儿能与自己对话；最后，根据“There's a bit of orange light coming from outside.”可知，胎儿能看见从外面照进来的光。所以顺序为④③②①。故选B。
4. C 推理判断题。根据“You saw yourself for the first time in the water.”以及“And I can see some pictures clearly in my mind.”可知，作者提到从井里打水的故事是为了证明胎儿知道母亲过去的生活。故选C。
