Question

【題目】閱讀理解。

Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had—not legs but stumps(殘肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him ‘Ape Man’ (猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.

Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.

Hank felt himself got cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs(假腿). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror, For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be——a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.

Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.

When World War II came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.

【2】B 推理判斷題。從文章可知Hank因?yàn)闅埣矎男〗邮艿饺藗兒闷娴哪抗夂秃⒆觽兊某靶�，所以�?nèi)心應(yīng)該是一直渴望像個(gè)正常人一樣，而且文章第三段“For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be—a full five feet eight inches tall.”也證實(shí)了這點(diǎn)，故B為正確答案。

【3】A 詞義猜測題。talk sb into sth意思是“persuade by talking說服(某人)干(某事)”，如：Can you talk father into buying a new car?你能說服父親買一輛新車嗎?也就說明，The Red Cross不愿意給他工作機(jī)會(huì)，而他說服了他們。故選A。
