题型:不详难度:来源:
     One of the most famous basketball players in the New Castle " s history was paralyzed(瘫痪的) in a wheelchair one day and was walking the next. Citizens of New Castle simply refer   to it as  " The Miracle" .
Joel Haler woke up in his dorm room at Hope College last October totally paralyzed from  the waist down. Four hospitals later, the only way he could walk was through Robotic Walking  Treatment.
"This past Tuesday ,I was doing the Robotic walk and lasted ten minutes, " Joel said. After that, he gave up. Joel w-anted to accept the  inevitable (不可避免的事)  and  cancelled his next Robotic Walking Treatment appointment.
Then , the night before his cancelled appointment, he woke up to a terrible pain. An hour  and a half later ,the serious pain left him with an unusual feeling in his legs.
" As it continued to move up my legs ,it became more and more painful and it took an hour  and a half to reach my hips(臀部) , " Joel recalled.
"I stood up and walked into my parents"  room. " Mom and dad, look! " ," he said proudly.
" He said something and I was like, " Joell Joel !  You " re walking !  You " re walking ! "  We  jumped out of bed , cried and hugged, "  Joel " s mom  Karen remembered.
"I burst into tears. It " s hard seeing your son not be able to walk .but he was standing there , walking , "  Joel " s  father  Eric  said , tearfully.
It was Thursday , January 23 , when he  could finally  walk. That  date  made  perfect  sense  to Joel. He had dreamt of a calendar that only said "J 23 " . He didn"t know what to make of it until "a little boy at church ,four years old, came up to me and said, " you will walk on a Thurs-day " , "  Joel recalled. 
So the 20-year-old college student, who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday ,was walking on his own.

解析
本文叙述了一个著名的篮球运动员瘫痪在轮椅上,但是第二天突然又能够走路的奇迹故事。
小题1:C
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章1,2行One of the most famous basketball players in the New Castle " s history was paralyzed(瘫痪的) in a wheelchair one day and was walking the next.可知一个著名的篮球运动员瘫痪在轮椅上,但是第二天突然又能够走路了。这里的The Miracle就是指这件事情。故C正确。
小题2:B
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段第一句Joel Haler woke up in his dorm room at Hope College last October totally paralyzed from  the waist down.可知Joel Haler醒来时发现自己腰部以下都瘫痪了,腰部以下的正是腿部和脚。故B正确。
小题3:D
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第三段"This past Tuesday ,I was doing the Robotic walk and lasted ten minutes, " Joel said. After that, he gave up. Joel w-anted to accept the  inevitable (不可避免的事)  and  cancelled his next Robotic Walking Treatment appointment.可知Joel Haler取消了和医生的约会,说明他想放弃治疗了。故D正确。
【长难句解析】
So the 20-year-old college student, who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday ,was walking on his own.
【翻译】所以这位20岁的大学毕业生,星期二的时候只能依靠机器人才可以行走,现在却是靠着自己就行了。
【分析】本句中的非限制性定语从句who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday用来修饰我们的先行词student,who在句中做主语。非限制性定语从句与先行词的关系不够紧密,省略对句子的意思也没有太大的影响。

The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often          about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who           that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this           girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her            in with us? There had to be a           .
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had            her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)           copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming          show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had          . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted          the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough          . Could you help me, Suzy?”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s             were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students            them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw          well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “           this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a             ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I            , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never          anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to            their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right.

The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felf panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
小题1:The brown bear approached the family in order to _______.
A.catch shore birdsB.start an attack
C.protect the childrenD.set up a barrier for itself
小题2:The bear finally went away after it _______.
A.felt safeB.got injured
C.found some foodD.took away the camera
小题3:The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______ .
A.prideB.patience
C.calmnessD.cautiousness
