Question

【題目】

My son Joey was born with club feet(畸形足). The doctors told us he would be able to walk normally but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery(手術(shù)) and braces(支架). By the time he was 8, you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk. The children in our neighborhood ran around, as most children do, and Joey would play too. We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.

In seventh grade, he decided to try out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. Although the whole team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know why. He continued to run 4 miles a day, every day even the day he had a 39.5℃ fever. So he didn’t know.

When the coach posted the names of the team members, Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade- the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he couldn’t do it, so he didn’t know. He just did it.

【4】C

【5】B

【解析】

文中主要講述了喬伊在不知道自己不能正常跑步的情況下參加了越野跑選拔，他的父母選擇不告訴他真實的情況，用他們自己的方式幫助他取得成功。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“By the time he was 8, you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk.”可知，當(dāng)他8歲的時候，當(dāng)你看到他走路的時候，你不會知道他有問題。所以此處是“他到了八歲才能正常走路”。故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know why.”可知，當(dāng)喬伊決定參加選拔的時候，他的父母知道他可能進不了越野隊，但是并沒有將實際情況告訴他，所以喬伊每天訓(xùn)練，這是他的父母以他們自己的方式在幫助他。故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Although the whole team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school.”和第三段中“When the coach posted the names of the team members, Joey was number six on the list.”可知，雖然全隊都在跑步，但只有前七名有可能為學(xué)校得分，當(dāng)教練公布隊員名單時，喬伊是第六名，所以在訓(xùn)練以后，喬伊得到了為自己學(xué)校得分的機會。故選A。

【4】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)句中“only the top seven runners”和“score points for the school”以及第一段中“The doctors told us he would be able to walk normally but would never run very well.”可知，喬伊是不能正常跑步的，只有排在前七名的隊員才能為學(xué)校得分，而喬伊不具備那種潛能，所以此處劃線部分單詞potential的意思是“潛能”。故選C。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段中“We never told him he couldn’t do it, so he didn’t know. He just did it.”以及文中的內(nèi)容，可知文中主要講述了喬伊在不知道自己不能正常跑步的情況下參加了越野跑選拔，最后取得成功，他的父母選擇不告訴他真實的情況，他不知道自己有缺陷，他認為自己和別人一樣，他的父母用他們自己的方式幫助他取得成功，所以作者想告訴我們的是：父母應(yīng)該知道如何幫助自己的孩子取得成功。故選B。
