Terry Fox was a young student who loved life and who loved sports. When he was just 18 years old a terrible tragedy happened: his right leg had to be cut off because of cancer. Such an experience would have destroyed a weaker person — but Terry Fox was a fighter. He refused to give up. Instead, while he was recovering from the operation, an idea slowly formed in his mind. He decided he would run across Canada, in order to raise money for cancer research.
Slowly and carefully, he began to train. Every step was extremely painful, but he insisted, increasing the distance covered day by day. Sixteen months later, in the spring of 1980, he was ready for the long journey across Canada — his Marathon of Hope .It was a time of inspiration and heart breaking emotion. Through television, every home saw his particular way of running, a kind of half- hop and half- run. Thousands of people lined the route to encourage him and to wish him well. They also gave money to fight cancer. Then, on 1st September 1980, after 143 days and more than 5000 kilometers completed, everything came tragically to an end Terry had to stop. He lived on for another nine months and died on June 18th 1981. He was almost 23.

【答案】
（1）D
（2）D
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了勇敢堅強的Terry Fox，非但沒有被病魔打敗，反而堅持練習長跑，想通過穿越加拿大長跑的壯大舉動，籌得善款，幫助跟他一樣被癌癥折磨的人群。雖然最終由于身體原因未能跑完全程，而且給身體造成了致命的損傷，最終丟失了生命，但是他的精神感動了無數(shù)人，也為癌癥的研究工作做出了貢獻。
（1）考查推理判斷。文章中多次提到fighter ，heroes， admire， encourage，inspiration等字眼，很明顯可以看出作者對于Terry Fox的態(tài)度是admire欽佩和贊美。A同情，B嫉妒，C關(guān)心，均不符合文意。故選D。
（2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“He decided he would run across Canada, in order to raise money for cancer research.”可知他穿越加拿大長跑的目的是“募捐研究癌癥”，他由于這個病而鋸掉了右腿，“募捐研究癌癥”也就是為了幫助和他一樣受此病痛折磨的人。因此選D。
（3）考查推理判斷。A. devotion“奉獻”；B. actions“行動”；C. appearance“出現(xiàn)”；D. wishes“希望”。根據(jù)文章大意可知，Terry Fox在失去一條腿的情況下，勇敢做出了長跑的決定，并且堅持練習，不懈努力，付諸行動，因此Terry Fox的英雄氣概可以通過他的決定和行動兩方面體現(xiàn)。故選B。
（4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Through television, every home saw his particular way of running”每家每戶都通過電視觀看他長跑的視頻，“Thousands of people lined the route to encourage him成千上萬的人列在路邊為他加油”，“They also gave money to fight cancer他們還捐了錢用于癌癥研究”，可知A/B/C項錯誤。第三段最后三句寫到Terry Fox跑了143天，5千多公里之后一切停下來了，Terry被迫放棄，然后不久就去世了。由此可知英雄壯志未酬，長跑時未顧及自身。故選D。
