“Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle (a collection of things wrapped or boxed together) was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped -- the baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance.
One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms, he cried out bitterly, “A boy, a big boy… called me -- a f... freak.” She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks.
He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift for literature and music.
The boy’s father had a talk with the family doctor. Could nothing be done? “I believe we could graft (移植) on a pair of outer ears, if they could be donated (捐献) ,” the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man. Two years went by. Then, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret.” said the father.
The operation was a brilliant success. His talents blossomed into genius. School and college became a series of successes. Later he married and entered the diplomatic (外交) service. “But I must know!” he urged his father. “Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him.”
“I do not believe you could,” said the father，“but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.” The years kept the secret, but the day did e... one of the darkest days that ever passed through a son. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket (棺材). Slowly and tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to let out the secret.

解析：这篇文章讲述了一个感人的故事，妈妈为孩子捐献了耳朵，展现了伟大的母爱。
【小题1】主旨大意题。从文中最后一段出人意料的结局可知，故事主要讲一位母亲如何为了孩子而默默奉献了自己。选B。
【小题2】推理判断题。句意：当婴儿包放到她臂弯里，她掀开裹着婴儿的布看到他的小脸时，不禁倒吸了一口气。由此可知，母亲看到孩子的样子很震惊很失望(因为孩子生下来就没有耳朵)。选C。
【小题3】词义猜测题。由第一段孩子生下来就没有耳朵，到后面他放学回家扑在母亲怀里哭诉，可以推出有人骂他是怪胎(畸形人)。选D。
【小题4】推理判断题。由最后一段母亲去世了，父亲和儿子站在母亲的棺材前，父亲掀开母亲浓密的、红褐色的头发，告诉了儿子事实的真相——母亲把自己的耳朵捐了出来。选C。
【小题5】理解判断题。通过母亲为儿子捐献耳朵，我们可从中感觉到母爱的伟大，有时真爱隐藏在深处而不是炫耀于外表。选A。
