解析:

36. C。  根據(jù)文章我們推斷出Andy左右腦結(jié)合的不好,導(dǎo)致身體的右邊跟左邊連接有缺陷。

37. D。  根據(jù)“were not joined normally with each other.”可推斷:Andy 身體的兩邊不能相互交流。

38. B。  從此句中我們判斷出:因?yàn)锳ndy身體方面的缺陷導(dǎo)致他說話,走路等都很困難。

39. D。  因?yàn)樗凶撸f話都有問題,所以只能對別人的話做出很少的反應(yīng)或回應(yīng)。 respond的意思是“回應(yīng); 反應(yīng); 響應(yīng)”。

40. C。  根據(jù)上文的句意:他行走,說話都有問題,推斷出他走路很緩慢。

41. A。  句意:Andy 參加了一個(gè)全天的康復(fù)醫(yī)療中心,而這個(gè)中心有各種療法。join加入某種組織等;present 后面加at時(shí)出席的意思; go需加上to再加名詞。

42. B。  從此段的第一句話我們可以判斷出。Andy掙扎著去讓自己變得強(qiáng)壯些。

43.   C。  此句話的意思是Andy很討厭父母送他去進(jìn)行訓(xùn)練,之后他們就離開了,但是他父母認(rèn)為這對Andy很有幫助。However可用于句首,句中,句末,并用逗號(hào)隔開表轉(zhuǎn)折。

44.   D。  從上下文我們Andy的父母期望他能過上正常的健康的生活,應(yīng)該說“to live a normal healthy life”。

45.   C。  從這個(gè)選項(xiàng)的下一句我們得知,Andy努力取得了成功。pay off意思是“取得成功”;pay back償還, 報(bào)復(fù);pay out支付, 付出, 懲罰, 報(bào)復(fù); pay for為…付款。

46.   A。  從該句中“but”,我們得知Andy雖然在一些事情得到別人特殊地幫助,但是他主動(dòng)地加入到大家的活動(dòng)當(dāng)中。

47. D。    此句話的意思是:Andy克服了很多困難走向勝利。overcome 克服,overlook忽視,beat打敗,win 獲得,贏得。

Let me take you back a couple of years. Come with me as we relearn a lesson, one that has stuck with me, in my present memory, and   36  me yet. We walked into Elida Road Hardware, an old-fashioned hardware    37___ . No automatic door, not a computer in the building. It was one that I went to fairly often. As we entered the door, two sounds    38  us. The sleigh bells of last year made that sweet, peaceful tinkle as we opened the door. The other sound was the electronic beeper that reminded Andy of our   39   .
“Good afternoon, Ryan,”     40    the cheerful greeting. Andy was a very   41    sort of owner. He was of medium build and height, and the smile on his face welcomed us.
We walked across the old wood floor. Andy asked us what he could help us with. I told him we were      42   a spring(彈簧). He very patiently replied, “l(fā) have lots of springs. You’re going to need to be more specific.”
“Just a spring for an old-fashioned screen door.”
“That’s it. A screen door spring, right down there. ” We   43  where he was pointing, and sure enough, there they were. And knew his store, and his products. That was why I came here instead of Meijer. The service couldn’t be beaten. The price; Yes. But service and  44    ;No.
I picked up one and followed him to the    45   .
He figured up the price, doing the math in his head, “ $1.88,with tax comes to $1. 99. ”
“ Put it on my dad’s account. ”
He nodded and smiled, “ Good dad’s account. ” He smiled. “I don’t know what you boys would do    46    dad’s account! ”
He handed me the ticket and as I    47    it, I asked, “You really trust my signature?”
His reply surprised,_   48    delighted me. “ When I can’t trust Jerry Hoover’s boys, I can trust nobody! ”
We left, and the brain immediately started to forget things, in order of importance. But what Andy said that day rang in my ears. And it rings in my ears today. That’s a tall order to live up to. It’s a high standard of    49   .My father made a fame for that name, and I get to enjoy the benefits. But on account of this, I must maintain that fame. And that’s     50    business.
