Since I was a child, I called my father my Kong, after King Kong. I believed that he was just as strong as the giant ape(猿猴). As he faced death, I did my best to help release him to the next life.
Two months after he passed away, my sister called to ask if I would like to go see Lisa Williams, a well-known witch（巫婆）. I was familiar with Lisa from her show on Lifetime, and since I was eager to get a sign from my father, I agreed to go.
I took my father’s gold watch and listened as Lisa helped audience members municate with their loved ones. “I have a grandfather-like figure with me and he is speaking about his granddaughter Jilly,” she announced. The audience was quiet; no one raised a hand. I nudged（用肘轻推） my sister and whispered to her that this was Dad ,for my third child and my father had a deep bond(关系，纽带) and he called her Jilly.
Although I sensed his presence, I wasn’t confident enough to raise my hand. I needed something a bit more concrete, something undoubted.
“This man is letting me know he had cancer,” she continued. I nudged my sister harder and assured her this was our father. Lisa went on to say that this person died in June (my father had died June 8th). There was swelling of the legs.
“Important information,” she called out. My heart beat fast . I jumped up when she asked, “Who is holding his watch?” I waved the watch in the air.
“He wishes you congratulations.” My fourth child was born three weeks after my father died. I was in shock and could not believe I was getting a chance to hear from him, yet I knew our bond was strong enough that he could e to the world. She banged on her chest like an ape and apologized, saying, “I don’t know why but he wants me to do this like Tarzan.” It didn’t resonate（共鸣） with me until my sister called out “King Kong!” I was convinced. No way could this woman have ever known a detail unless Dad was municating through her.
Each bit of information she gave us was just as meaningful. She ended our session by informing us that he would send us coins. The very next day I found six coins in various places; they seemed to have e out of nowhere. Even in death he is my Kong, and he remains important in my life.

(答案→)B
解析：文章讲述了作者深爱的父亲死后，通灵女巫使用只有父女之间才知道的沟通方式得到了来自已逝父亲的祝福信息，使作者相信父亲仍是关心着她。
【小题1】推理题：阅读全文可知作者通过通灵女巫的帮助得到了来自已逝父亲的祝贺，由此可知这是来自天堂的信息。故选B。
【小题2】推理题： 根据常理可知人在得病即将死亡时生理上是很痛苦的，因此划线部分有“解脱、释放”的意思，四选项中只有A项“我尽我最大的努力使父亲在另一个世界能够解脱痛苦”与原意相近。故选A。
【小题3】细节题：根据文章第二段中“a well-known witch”一个有名的女巫可知B项正确。故选B。
【小题4】推理题：根据文章内容可知作者在父亲生前就与父亲关系很好，父亲死后还通过女巫得到了来自父亲祝贺我生第四个孩子的信息。由此可知父亲死后还关心我的家人。故选D。
【小题5】推理题：Narration记叙文；Illustration图解；Discussion议论文；Description说明文。根据文章内容可知这是作者叙述所发生过的事，因此是记叙文。故选A。
