Ivan Young shook his head with a mixture of frustration and relief as he recalled the months long battle persuading his father to take one of his kidneys.

Osbarn Young, a military man from Honduras and a retired medical technician, didn’t want his 28-years-old son putting his own life in danger. 【B1】________________.

“I didn’t understand him, and he didn’t understand me,” Ivan said, 【B2】 ________________________. “I felt we were never dose, but I never doubted his love for me.”

So as he watched his father grow progressively weaker from the kidney disease brought on by hypertension and diabetes, Ivan decided he didn’t want to see his father become another statistic.

Ivan will meet his father in the operating room Wednesday. Both hope the operations will give the elder Young a normal life again.

【B】3___________________________. After being rejected twice, Ivan said it came down to an emotional meeting during a birthday party for his nephew at the elder Young’s home. With the sound of children playing at the party, Ivan took his father into the elder Young’s bedroom.

“He held me, and I held him,” Ivan said. “We didn’t say much. We never do.”

“This is a big operation. My father felt that Ivan might be in the same situation as he is one day,” Ivan’s sister said. “But my other two brothers and I told him without hesitation that if Ivan needs us one day, we will be there for him.” She said, “Just like he is for our father.”

问答题 【B1】
【正确答案】A
【答案解析】空缺处上一句指出Ivan的父亲不想让他28岁的儿子冒生命危险,接着应该表明的是什么样的生命危险,A项表明Ivan需要好几周才能恢复,可知,这个手术是很危险的。
问答题 【B2】
【正确答案】F
【答案解析】该空后一句是“我感到我们从未亲近过,但我从未怀疑他对我的爱。”可知空白处所填应该是Ivan与他父亲关系不亲密的表述。F项“Ivan叙述他的童年,那时候父亲常常工作,几乎不在他身边。”表明小时候两人的关系就不亲密。
问答题 【B3】
【正确答案】E
【答案解析】该空上一句意思是Ivan和父亲都希望手术能使父亲重新过上正常人的生活。后一句指出在被拒绝两次后,Ivan决定和父亲进行一次情感会议。可知,父亲过去一直拒绝接受Ivan为自己做肾移植手术,后来经过Ivan劝说才同意。E项“几个月来,Ivan的父亲一直拒绝手术”,符合文意。
问答题 【B4】
【正确答案】C
【答案解析】该空的后一句意思是Ivan在父亲眼里看到了很少看到的泪水。可知父亲被Ivan动情的陈述感动了,C项“屋子里一阵沉默”,符合此时的语境,表明父亲由于太感动而语塞。
问答题 【B5】
【正确答案】D
【答案解析】该空上一句意思是Ivan并不认为自己的做法很像个英雄,接着说但是他的姐姐认为他很勇敢。可知该空解释的是Ivan不认为自己是个英雄的原因。D项“他知道家里其他人也有想代替他这样做的”,符合文意。
