As a modern-day parent, I 3 nearly everything about my child’s life. Every birthday candle and every Christmas morning. Every goal and every miss. How could I sit back and 4 let this child go?

Over those three chaotic months, my son patiently listened to my advice. 8 , summer was done. He 9 his belongings into our car, and we started the twelve-hour drive to Stanford. Along the way, I got in my final punches. “Don’t do anything stupid.” At some point, he dared to doze off on me. “Wake up!

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过父亲送儿子去大学报到的经历,以幽默而感人的笔触描绘了父亲在儿子成年离家前的复杂心情——想抓住最后机会倾囊相授,最终却从儿子那里获得了简单而深刻的忠告。
1. B 解析:根据上文“move my 18-year-old son into Crothers Hall, his freshman dorm”以及空前“three months prior”可知,儿子即将进入大学,三个月前发生的是标志着高中阶段结束的事件,即“高中毕业”。故选 B。
2. C 解析:根据下文“to punch him in the face”和“Like an aging boxer in his final match, flailing against a faster, younger opponent.”中的比喻可知,作者像一个在最后一场比赛中对战年轻对手的老拳击手一样,力不从心,胡乱挥拳,但有一种强烈、难以抑制的“给对手脸上来一拳”的欲望或冲动。故选 C。
3. A 解析:根据下文“everything about my child's life. Every birthday candle and every Christmas morning. Every goal and every miss.”可知,这些都是作为父亲的作者“记得”的、关于孩子成长的点滴细节。故选 A。
4. C 解析:上文“As a modern-day parent, I 3 nearly everything about my child's life. Every birthday candle and every Christmas morning. Every goal and every miss.”提到作者记得孩子成长的所有细节,深爱并关心孩子。结合“How could I sit back”和下文“Here are some 7: Do work hard, but don't work too hard. Do get enough sleep, but don't oversleep.”可推知,因为对孩子的爱,作者无法默默地接受孩子离开去独立生活这一事实,总想要说些什么。故选 C。
5. B 解析:根据上文“This was my final duty.”和下文“eighteen years and perhaps a lifetime”可推知,父亲想在儿子离家前,把所有重要的建议和教导都告诉他,即对多年的养育经验做一个“总结”。故选 B。
6. A 解析:根据下文“Do work hard, but don't work too hard. Do get enough sleep, but don't oversleep.”可知,父亲想要传递给儿子的不仅是关爱,更是基于人生经验的“智慧”和建议。故选 A。
7. C 解析:本句冒号后“Do work hard, but don't work too hard. Do get enough sleep, but don't oversleep.”不会是作者给儿子的全部建议,即此处只展示了其中最重要的几个点。故选 C。
8. C 解析:根据语境和下文“summer was done”可推知,尽管作者觉得有说不完的话,但时间飞逝,“夏天结束了”这一事实对沉浸在“最后教导”中的父亲来说,感觉来得“突然”。故选 C。
9. B 解析:根据下文“belongings into our car”可知,儿子把行李“装进”或“塞进”车里。fit 强调“恰好放入”,不如 pack“打包/装行李”常用和贴切。故选 B。
10. D 解析:根据上文儿子的行为“dared to doze off(竟然敢打瞌睡)”和作者说“Wake up! I'm not done yet”的恼怒反应可知,父亲情绪激动,想用“尖叫”来表达他的急切和不耐烦。故选 D。
11. A 解析:当车快要到达目的地,父亲的情绪也稍微平复时,他“回想起”了之前看过或听过的那些更理智的育儿建议。故选 A。
12. B 解析:rely on 依赖;listen to 倾听;argue with 争论;cheer up 使振作。根据下文“engaging in 'discussions' or whatever”可知,理智的育儿建议通常强调与孩子沟通,包括“倾听”他们的想法。故选 B。
13. D 解析:根据下文“his lower jaw dropping three-quarters of an inch”这一典型的惊讶表情描写可知,儿子对于父亲突然问他“你有什么建议给我吗”这个问题感到非常意外和“惊讶”。故选 D。
14. A 解析:根据下文“a parking spot”和“shut off the engine”可知,作者找到了一个停车位并把车“开进”了车位。故选 A。
15. C 解析:结合全文,父亲从夏天到送儿子去大学宿舍的一路旅程,都充满了对儿子的担忧和不放心,不断地给予建议。儿子看穿了父亲的焦虑,因此给出了一句最直接、最贴心的忠告——“别担心”,让父亲放下心来。故选 C。
