【解題導語】 本文是一篇記敘文，講述了一位母親對兒子無私、感人的愛。
1. the story is mainly about ________.
a. how a boy had new ears through an operation
b. what a devoted parent privately did for the child
c. how a disabled boy turned into a useful person
d. why a donator made a sacrifice to a bright boy
解析：選b。主旨大意題。從文中最后一段出人意料的結局可知，故事主要講一位母親如何為了孩子而默默奉獻了自己。
2. from the first paragraph we know that the mother ________.
a. was determined to donate her ears to perfect her son
b. kept her husband unknown about the baby’s situation
c. felt shocked and disappointed to see her new baby
d. complained of her bad luck to have a disabled child
解析：選c。推理判斷題。句意：當嬰兒包放到她臂彎里，她掀開裹著嬰兒的布看到他的小臉時，不禁倒吸了一口氣。由此可知，母親看到孩子的樣子很震驚很失望(因為孩子生下來就沒有耳朵)。
3. the underlined word “freak” in paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to“ ________”.
a. slowacting person
b. uglylooking child
c. badlybehaved student
d. strangelyshaped creature
解析：選d。詞義猜測題。由第一段孩子生下來就沒有耳朵，到后面他放學回家撲在母親懷里哭訴，可以推出有人罵他是怪胎(畸形人)。
4. what can be inferred from the passage?
a. the agreement was between the donator and the family.
b. the boy was so popular that he was made class president.
c. finally the boy came to know who the donator was.
d. the mother donated her ears to her son after she died.
解析：選c。推理判斷題。由最后一段母親去世了，父親和兒子站在母親的棺材前，父親掀開母親濃密的、紅褐色的頭發，告訴了兒子事實的真相——母親把自己的耳朵捐了出來。
5. what moral lesson can we draw from this reading?
a. real love lies in what is done unknown rather than what is done known.
b. it is up to parents to help their children heart and soul.
c. true beauty lies only in the heart not in appearance.
d. it is a virtue for young generations to learn to be grateful.
解析：選a。理解判斷題。通過母親為兒子捐獻耳朵，我們可從中感覺到母愛的偉大，有時真愛隱藏在深處而不是炫耀于外表。
