At the airport, I looked closely at the face of my son, Daniel, his backpack by his side. We were saying good-bye. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 31 a different life . It was a transitional（过渡期的）time in Daniel’s life. I wanted to leave him some words of 32 . But nothing came from my 33 and this was not the first time I had let such a moment 34 .

When Daniel was five, I took him to the school-bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He looked at me -- as he did now. “What is it going to be like, Dad? Will I be okay? ” And then he walked up the 35 of the bus and disappeared inside. And the bus 36 . And I had said nothing.

A decade or so later, a similar 37 played itself out. I drove him to college. I tried to think of something to say to give him 38 and confidence as he started this new life. Again, words 39 me.

Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 40 opportunities. How many times have we all let such moments pass?

My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 41 never hearing him put his 42 into words and never having the memory of that moment. Now, I could feel my palms（手掌） 43 and my throat tighten. Why is it so 44 to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words 45 . “Daniel," I said, "if I could have picked, I would have picked you." That’s all I could say. I wasn’t sure he understood what I 46 . Then he came toward me and threw his arms around me. For a moment, the world and all its people vanished（消失）, and there was just Daniel and me. He was saying something, 47 my eyes misted（视线模糊）over, and I couldn’t understand what he was saying. All I was 48 of was the stubble（胡子茬）on his chin as his face pressed 49 mine. And then, the moment ended. What I had said to Daniel was clumsy. It was nothing. And yet, it was 50 .

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从没篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Every September in China, people love to talk about the overprotective parents following their children around everywhere during university enrollment.

Now, with more than 420,000 youngsters in the UK starting their new college school year, what is their first day like? BBC’s Sean Coughlan described it in a recent report.

According to Coughlan, at the very beginning it is not hard to spot something familiar to Chinese – a stream of parents arriving with their sons and daughters at the student village. Mothers, fathers and a teenager – now most likely taller than they are – stand together like the three might have done on the first day of primary school.

“The approach road to the student village is a long traffic jam of family cars, stuffed full with boxes, pillows and nervous families,” he writes. “The door closes on a student’s room and parents and children go their separate ways. For many families, if childhood has a final moment, this is it.”

But saying goodbye to parents is not the only similarity between college freshmen in the UK and China. In both cases, new arrivals most want to know about their Internet connections. “It’s their most urgent concern,” notes Coughlan.

Even on their first day, university in the UK won’t be an entirely lonely experience for some new students. “Before they arrive they have been using social networking to get to know their future roommates,” writes Coughlan.

Still, the first night is something no UK university student ever forgets. There are people they meet and then spend three years avoiding and people who become their friends for the rest of their lives. First week stories are all about over-partying, bad cooking and misguided clothing, Coughlan says.

As he concludes: “These new students are entering their own soap opera of romance, friendship and ambition. It’s a huge adventure that they’ve worked for years to achieve.”

51. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?

A. To introduce how UK students prepare for college.

B. To show different challenges that college freshmen face in the UK and China.

C. To describe how UK colleges welcome newcomers.

D. To inform us about what the first day of college
