第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A.B.C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

It is six o’clock in the morning. You are asleep in my left arm and I am learning

the art of one-handed typing. Your mother, more tired yet more happy than I’ve ever

known her, is sound asleep in the room next door.

When you’re older we’ll tell you that you were born in HongKong in the lunar year

of the pig. “It's a boy, so lucky,” our neighbours told us. They said you were the 3 first baby to be born in the block this year. This, they told us, was good Feng Shui,

in other words, a positive sign. Naturally your mother and I were only too happy to

believe that.

Your coming has turned me upside down and inside out. I am pained by the memory

of each suffering child I have come across on my journeys as a journalist. To tell

you the truth, it’s nearly too much for me to even think of the children being hurt

and abused and killed.

Last October, in Afghanistan, when you were growing inside your mother, I met Sharja,

aged twelve, motherless, fatherless, guiding me through the grey ruins of her home.

Everything was gone, she told me.

There is another memory of Rwanda, and the churchyard where I found a mother and

her three young children huddled(蜷缩) together where they’d been beaten to death.

The children had died holding on to their mother.

Daniel, these memories explain some of the protectiveness I feel for you, and the

occasional moments of blind terror when I imagine anything bad happening to you.
