　　【答案與解析】文章講述了Joey一出生便被醫(yī)生認(rèn)定不能正常地跑動，但是Joey的父母一直沒有把這個情況告訴他。因此Joey就在這種毫不知情的情況下，憑借著自身的努力，終于如愿以償?shù)厝脒x了校田徑隊(duì)。

　　1. A。聯(lián)系此處的語境，再對照選項(xiàng)，可知這里應(yīng)是“他生命中的頭三年是在醫(yī)院里度過的”。spend有“花時間于……，度過”的意思，并且spend還可做及物動詞，所以放在此處，不僅符合此處的語境，而且也符合此句的語法結(jié)構(gòu)。故答案選A。

　　2. D。根據(jù)前文中The doctors said that with treatment he would be able to walk，可知醫(yī)生認(rèn)為作者的兒子在經(jīng)過治療后是能夠走路的。因此可推出此處是“在他8歲時，當(dāng)你看到他走路，你察覺不出他有什么問題”。故答案選D。

　　3. C。聯(lián)系此處的語境，再對照選項(xiàng)，可知這里應(yīng)是“鄰居家的孩子在他們做游戲時總是跑來跑去”。during的意思為“在……期間”，放在此處符合此處的語境。故答案選C。

　　4. B。前文提到醫(yī)生認(rèn)為作者的兒子將不能正常地跑動，而后文則提到作者沒有把這個情況告訴給他的兒子，因此Joey不知道。所以綜合前后文，可知此處是“Joey也跳、也跑、也玩耍”。故答案選B。

　　5. A。聯(lián)系此處的語境，再對照選項(xiàng)，可知這里應(yīng)是“他也許不能像其他的小朋友那樣能夠正常地跑動”。be able to do的意思為“能夠做……事”，故答案選A。

　　6. B。根據(jù)后文中“He was in seventh grade — the other six team members were all eighth graders”，可推知這里是“在七年級時他決定參加校田徑隊(duì)”。故答案選B。

　　7. D。前文提到Joey每天堅(jiān)持訓(xùn)練，而且練得比其他任何人都勤，后文則講述只有頂尖的七名選手能被選中，因此綜合前后文的內(nèi)容聯(lián)系，不難得出前后文之間形成了一個因果關(guān)系，即Joey每天刻苦訓(xùn)練是因?yàn)橹挥许敿獾钠呙�選手能被選中。故答案選D。

　　8. C。聯(lián)系此處的語境，再對照選項(xiàng)，可知這里應(yīng)是“只有頂尖的七名選手能被選中代表學(xué)校參賽”。故答案選C。

　　9. D。這里提到Joey每天堅(jiān)持跑4~5英里，即使在他發(fā)燒的時候也沒有中斷，而前文提到Joey早在出生時就被醫(yī)生認(rèn)定是不能正常地跑動，所以根據(jù)邏輯思維，作者作為Joey的家長此時一定感到很擔(dān)心。故答案選D(from www.zkenglish.com)。

　　10. D。根據(jù)前文綜述，再對照選項(xiàng)，可得出這里是在講述作者決定在Joey放學(xué)后來找他。故答案選D。

　　11. D。 根據(jù)后文中He has two more miles to go，再對照選項(xiàng)，可推知此處是“我發(fā)現(xiàn)他已經(jīng)在跑了”。故答案選D。

　　12. D。 聯(lián)系此處的語境，再對照選項(xiàng)，可知這里應(yīng)是“他徑直地看著前方，并且一直跑著”。故答案選D。

　　13. B。 聯(lián)系此處的語境，再對照選項(xiàng)，可知這里應(yīng)是“兩周后，隊(duì)員名單被公布出來了”，再因?yàn)镴oey選擇的是跑步運(yùn)動，故答案選B。

　　14. C。根據(jù)前文中We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team，再對照選項(xiàng)，可推知此處應(yīng)填make，即根據(jù)前文中的相同或類似表述可得出。再因?yàn)閙ake有“作為……的一分子”的意思，放在此處，意思為Joey加入了田徑隊(duì)。故答案選C。

　　15. D。根據(jù)前文中“We never told him he couldn’t do it… so he didn’t know”，再結(jié)合Joey入選校田徑隊(duì)的事實(shí)，可推知此處要表達(dá)的內(nèi)容是“他確實(shí)參加了”，即Joey是在一種毫不知情的情況下參加了田徑隊(duì)。take的意思有“參加，加入”，故答案選D。
