Question

Eleven-year-old Angela was attacked by a rare   21  affecting her nerve system. She was unable to walk and her movement was    22  in other ways as well. The doctors did not hold much    23   of her ever recovering from this illness. They    24  she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.They said that few, if any, were able to come back to    25 after suffering from this disease .The little girl was   26 . There, lying in her hospital bed, she would swear that she was   27  going to be walking again one day.

She was moved to a specialized    28 hospital in the San Francisco Bay area. All   29  that could be applied to her case were used. The doctors were moved by her undefeatable spirit. They taught her about imaging about seeing herself walking. If it would do   30 else, it would at least give her hope and something   31 to do in the long waking hours in her bed. Angela would work as hard as possible in physical treatments, and in exercise sessions. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully doing her   32  , visualizing herself moving, moving, moving!

One day,   33 she was attempting, with all her might, to imagine her legs moving again, it seemed as though something  34  happened: the bed moved! It began to move around the room! She    35 out, "Look what I'm doing! Look! Look! I can do it”. I moved! I moved!"

Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming, too, and running to a   36 place. People were screaming, equipment was  37 and glass was breaking. You see, it was the terrible San Francisco earthquake.  38 don't tell that to Angela. She    39  that she did it.

And now only a few years later, she's back in school, on her own   40  . No crutches, no wheelchair. You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can defeat a little disease, can't they?

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述的是一位十一岁的小姑娘患神经系统疾病后以坚强的意志战胜疾病从而重新站立起来的故事。

1.B.从前面的was attacked及后面的her nerve system应填“疾病”的词。

2.C.从She was unable to walk可以看出她在其他方面也受到限制。

3.D由前面可以看出，医生对她的恢复不抱任何希望。

4.A.根据后面的过去将来时态此处表示“他们预测她会在轮椅上度过余生”。

5.B此空表示患了这种病的人几乎没有能恢复正常的。normal系名词，其它是形

容词，意义也不通。

6.A.从后面的话可以看出，她没有被疾病吓倒，故填fearless，表示“无畏的”。

7.D.从前面的swear可以看出她对于自己能重新站起来充满信心，故选D。表示

“一定能站起来”。

8.A.做了手术后她被转移到“康复医院”，故填recovery。

9.D.这里用表示“治疗方式”的词，凡能用的治疗方法都用在她身上了。故填

treatments。
