细节题
It’s eight o’clock on Christmas morning, and dad says he wants to listen to the news. My 11-year-old self is wondering why on Earth grown-ups would be interested in the news when there are important things to be done, such as handing out presents. And then, while I am only half-listening to the radio broadcast, something unusual happens: the boring newsreader begins talking about a Christmas message. Hadn’t we heard that report earlier?
My older brother, Colin, figures out what’s happening. “Pete, Pete, it’s a tape recorder! We’ve got our tape recorder!”
It finally dawns on me: my dad recorded the news and is playing it back now.
I think it’s quite rare to experience real excitement over a present, but for me this was one of those rare moments. Colin and I had both been blind from birth. Now, in the late 1950s, exciting consumer goods were coming within reach of the not-so rich. At the special boarding school that Colin and I attended, a recorder of your own was the height of joy. However, Colin—better informed and more realistic about family finances than I was—had no real expectations of getting one. I realised, much later, that a tape recorder would have cost more than four times dad’s weekly wage.
The new toy, the size of a small suitcase, dominated the rest of the Christmas holidays. Once we had mastered the controls, we recorded anything and everything: each other, our parents, the milkman, the dog ... and we very quickly learned how much fun we could have with it. For the first time, in the same way that a sighted child might react to seeing themselves in a mirror or a photograph, I got the sense of myself as a separate person who existed outside my head and was experienced by other people. It was both exciting and embarrassing.
I took my first steps down the path to my career as a broadcaster when I returned to school after the holidays. I was lucky to be in a class of imaginative and creative boys crazy for recorders, and it wasn’t long before we started to make our own radio programmes. I would wander round the school with my microphone, recording my thoughts in the style of the voices I heard on the radio.
Ten years later, I drew on the confidence gained from those early involvement in sound and walked into a radio station, in the hopes of selling myself as a broadcast journalist. Twenty-five years later, I presented my first report for BBC TV’s Six O’Clock News, a programme my dad had never missed. Although by then he’d been dead for more than a decade, I like to think he’d have realised that his inspiring Christmas present had changed my life.
Why did dad want to listen to the news on Christmas morning?
He expected to give the boys a surprise.
","He was postponing handing out his presents.
","He had always enjoyed listening to the news.
","He missed the Christmas news the day before.
"]推理判断题。根据第一段的句子 “My 11-year-old self is wondering why on Earth grown-ups would be interested in the news when there are important things to be done, such as handing out presents. (11岁的我在想，为什么成年人在有重要的事情要做的时候会对新闻感兴趣，比如发礼物。)”、第二段 “My older brother, Colin, figures out what’s happening. ‘Pete, Pete, it’s a tape recorder! We’ve got our tape recorder!’ (我哥哥科林知道发生了什么。‘皮特，皮特，这是录音机！ 我们有录音机！’)”、第三段的句子 “It finally dawns on me: my dad recorded the news and is playing it back now. (我终于明白：父亲提前录好新闻并回放。)” 以及第四段的句子 “I think it’s quite rare to experience real excitement over a present, but for me this was one of those rare moments. (我觉得为一件礼物而感到真正的兴奋是非常罕见的，但对我来说，这是一个罕见的时刻。)” 可知，父亲通过伪装成新闻播报，实际播放录音机功能演示，目的是制造惊喜。故选A。

he didn’t know before what a recorder was
","he got the tape recorder he had been dying for

"]句意理解题。根据后文提到拥有一台自己的录音机是 “the height of joy (极致快乐)”，且对盲人兄弟而言是 “the sense of myself as a separate person (感知自我存在)”；父亲花费 “four times dad’s weekly wage (周薪四倍)” 购买，体现其特殊价值。 礼物意义远超物质本身，说明这台录音机是一件特别有意义的礼物。故选D。

","Discover more about themselves.

(第一次，就像一个有视力的孩子看到自己在镜子或照片中的反应一样，我意识到自己是一个独立的人，存在于我的头脑之外，被其他人所体验。)” 可知，录音机使作者更多地了解了自己。故选B。

(十年后，我凭借早期对声音的参与所获得的信心，走进了一家电台，希望把自己推销为一名广播记者。)” 可知，录音机激发了作者对声音和广播的热情。故选D。
