[答案]
在儿子从战场平安回来时，一位父亲如释重负。他用一种独特的方式与儿子分享家庭团圆的幸福。同时，他对那些家人不能回来的家庭表示同情。
1．D。结合下文“母亲与儿子拥抱”“我与儿子躺在一起交谈”等情节，可推知在美国海军服役的儿子从中东活着回来了，因此填alive。
2．A。根据下一空可知，儿子是乘坐飞机到达华盛顿，然后从那里驱车回来的。结合时间状语all night及上句中的appeared可知，这里应用had driven。
3．D。where引导非限制性定语从句，在定语从句中作状语。
4．C。空后的“I’ll need time to myself”一句说明儿子不想让父母去华盛顿接他。greet“欢迎，迎接，致意，问候”，多指人们见面时的日常问候；meet“迎接，遇见，碰见，相见”，可表示“专门地迎接某人”。
5．B。这里是“when＋现在分词短语”结构作时间状语。
6．D。语境为：妈妈拥抱儿子，想证实儿子真的回来了。pet“宠爱，抚摸”；pat“轻拍”；neck“搂着脖子亲吻”；embrace“拥抱”，合乎语境。
7．A。making sure“确保”，此处用现在分词短语作状语，表示伴随状况。
8．C。上段说，“我”让妻子先和儿子拥抱，那么现在是妻子让“我”独自和儿子在一起。作者把这比喻成妻子送给自己的礼物。
9．B。根据倒数第二段中的“I slept with his voice __10__ away”可推知这里应填lay。“我”躺在儿子旁边。
10．D。“我”之所以要和儿子近距离接触就是要确定约翰在战场上牺牲的噩梦不是真的，即那是谎言(lies)。
11．A。空后“when he was two...”暗示此处填used to，表示“过去常常”。“我”一直抱着儿子，就像他在两岁时做了噩梦跑到“我们”床上时“我”常做的那样。
12．C。孩子只有在做噩梦后才会半夜爬到父母的床上。
13．D。上句“I told him to sleep first”暗示用sleep，约翰说晚一会儿再睡。历经战争洗礼的约翰现在回到了温馨的家中，所以他激动得难以入睡。
14．A。孩子平安归来了。“我”终于不再担忧，于是感到前所未有的疲倦。
15．B。die away指“(声音、光、风)逐渐消失，停止”。父亲入睡了，也就渐渐听不到儿子的说话声了。
16．A。并列连词and往往连接两个词性、形式相同的成分，由于空前的praying是现在分词，所以这里也用现在分词。当“我”从睡梦中醒来，看到儿子均匀的呼吸，“我”不由得开始祈祷，也为那些未能回家的士兵流泪。
17．C。strangers“陌生人”，指那些没能活着回家的士兵们。这是“我”第一次为那些素不相识的人哭泣。文章结尾处“Sometimes shedding tears for strangers”也有暗示。
18．B。persuade“说服，劝告”；change“改变，变化”；train“训练，锻炼，培养”；guide“引路，指导”。在约翰参军之前，“我”不曾为阵亡者落过泪，而现在他改变了“我”。
19．D。another“另一个，再一个”；other“别的，其他的，另外的”；ones“人们”；others“别人，其余的东西”。他让“我”认识到：那些穿制服的军人不是“别人”，他们是我们的家庭成员。
20．A。duty“职责，义务，本分”；task“工作，任务，差事”；work和job都指“工作”。作者认为，有时候为陌生人落泪是一种神圣的职责。只有duty合乎语境。
