网友回答
(答案→)B
解析：本文是记叙文。“我”两次车祸，医生说他们可以让“我”像正常人一样行走，但是“我”不能跑了。在这样 的情况下，“我”仍然顽强、意志坚定地锻炼自己。“我”有了参加马拉松长跑的想法，结果“我”的努力得到了回报，“我”终于实现了自己的梦想。
【小题1】B 联系前文的senseless from the waist down以及空格后的a back support，我们知道，在“我”腰部以下失去知觉 后，“我”四年的时间里都戴着背部支撑器。A有较大干扰性，dress作“穿衣”讲时，宾语是人，而不是物。
【小题1】D 联系空格前的running seven days以及空格后的muscles我们知道，一周“我”跑了七天，目的是增强“我”的肌肉。
【小题1】A 选择此空答案时我们要注意空格前的but，尽管锻炼让“我”筋疲力尽，但是在高中毕业前“我”康复了。
【小题1】C 联系文章第一句When I was fourteen I was hit by a car我们知道，14岁时，“我”经历了一场车祸，现在又一次经历车祸，因此用another。
【小题1】A 联系空格后的their goal was to get me to walk我们知道，这是在“我”治疗时，医生答应要实现的目标。
【小题1】B 本空格的引号对我们选择答案起了很重要的提示作用，显然医生认为“我”正常行走的希望也是渺茫的。其他选 项中，frequently频繁地，attractively吸引人地，carefully小心谨慎地，显然不能体现医生们的推测。
【小题1】A and表明了此空格与前面的stubborn为顺接关系， 再联系后面的I set out to rebuild my leg muscles to support my knees我们知道，没有听医生的诊断，而是倔强地、顽强地坚 持自己的锻炼。C、D都不能与空前的stubborn形成顺接关系，也不能说明自己的不服输。
【小题1】C 从空格前的I set out to rebuild my leg muscles to support my knees我们知道，“我”开始了自己的训练计划。
【小题1】D 联系后文I could run the LA Marathon我们知道，“我”花了九年半的时间学会了跑，现在想去参加马拉松比赛， 因此说是一个疯狂的想法。
【小题1】A 联系后文我们知道，“我”想参加马拉松比赛，因此说“如果我能参加马拉松比赛将会怎样？”what if为固定 句型，意思是“如果……将会怎样？”
【小题1】D 联系空格后的the prized finish line我们知道，“我”想体会一下穿过终点线时的感觉。
【小题1】A 空格前的even if对本题起了很好的指导作用，不能跑着穿越终点，即使那意味着爬过终点，“我”也想参加。
【小题1】B 联系空格前的I spent almost all my time training以及表达比喻的as if我们知道，“我”全身心投入到准备中，就 像“我”的存在就是依赖着这次比赛。
【小题1】B 联系空格后的内容我们知道，这是“我”的认识，因此用knew。
【小题1】C 联系空格前的if I didn’t train to my fullest以及后文的the doctors’ diagnosis (诊断) would win我们知道，如果“我”不全力以赴，“我”的身体就会垮掉，医生的诊断就会 灵验。其他选项中，look out当心；e out出现，出版；fall down跌倒。
【小题1】C 联系空格前的achieve我们知道，“我”要跑马拉松，实现人生的最大目标之一。
【小题1】D 联系空格后的I crossed the finish line of the LA Marathon我们知道，最终“我”的付出得到了回报。pay off在这里是“得到回报”的意思。其他选项中，work out 弄清 楚，计算出；turn out结果是；pay back返还。
【小题1】B 联系空格前的I’m often asked why I run我们知道，当别人问起“我”为什么要跑马拉松时，“我”就这样回答。
【小题1】C 联系空格后的内容我们知道，“我”时常提醒自己。
【小题1】D 联系空后的pared to the suffering those whom I admire must bear我们知道，与那些“我”尊敬的人所承受的痛苦相比，“我”的痛苦算不了什么。
