My son Joey was born with badly twisted 11 .The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk 12 but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in 13 .casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him 14 .
The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during 15 ,and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We 16 told him that he probably wouldn't be able to 17 as well as the other children. So he didn't know.
In seventh grade he decided to 18 for the cross-country team. Every day he 19 with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others-four to five miles a day ~~perhaps he sensed that the 20 that seemed to e naturally to so many others did not e naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the 21 seven runners have the potential to score points for the 22 .We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.
He 23 to run four to five miles a day. Every day24 the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was 25 .So I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy (呆滞)from his 26 .Yet he looked straight ahead and 27 running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 103-degree fever.So he didn't know.
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were 28 .Joey was number six on the 29 .Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade-the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't 30 to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it We never told him he couldn't do it...so he didn't know. Hejust did it

网友回答
(答案→)D
解析：我的儿子琼尼的双脚先天畸形。医生说他走能行但是跑不好。3岁之前一直在接受治疗。七八岁的时候，走路看起来和正常人一样。他和邻居的小孩子们一起跑玩，我们从没告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑 。因为我们不对他说，所以他不知道。我们从没有对他说他不会成功。是的，从没说起过……所以他不知道，但他却做到了！
【小题1】考查名词的用法辨析。句意：我的儿子Joey生下来时，他的双脚严重扭曲。Hands手；mouth嘴；body身体；feet脚。根据后面的walk和run 判断与脚有关。故选D。
【小题2】考查副词的用法辨析。句意：医生向我们保证说经过治疗，小Joey可以像常人一样走路，但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。freely自由地；fluently流利地；normally正常地；strangely奇怪地。结合后面的走路正常判断，故选C。
【小题3】考查名词的运用辨析。句意：Joey3岁之前一直在接受治疗，和支架、石膏模子打交道。treatment治疗；school学校；dark黑暗；silence沉默。前文提到Joey的脚先天畸形，所以要和正常人一样走路跑步一定是经过治疗。故选A。
【小题4】考查动词的运用辨析。句意：八岁的时候，他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿脚有过毛病。study学习；walk走路；read读书；stand站立。全文都在围绕他的脚能走能跑说，故选B。
【小题5】考查名词的运用辨析。句意：邻居的小孩子们玩的时候总是跑过来跑过去。小Joey就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。holiday假期；rest休息；winter冬天；play玩耍。先朋友们在一起做的事当然是玩。故选D。
【小题6】考查副词的运用辨析。句意：我们从没告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑，never从不；often经常；always总是；still仍然。结合其他段落中相似的这几句话判断，选A。

【小题9】考查动词用法的辨析。句意：每天他和大伙一块训练。trained训练；struggled挣扎，斗争；fight战斗；study学习。train为参加某一活动所做的训练，故选A。
【小题10】考查名词的运用辨析。句意：也许是意识到自己先天不如别人，他训练得比任何人都刻苦。scores分数；abilities能力；standards标准；dreams梦想。该句很复杂，第一个that从句是宾语从句，空后的定语从句that seemed to e naturally to so many others修饰这里的名词，带入四个选项判断，别人天生就有的能力他没有。故最佳选B。
