Question

Father（Dick Hoyt) and son（Rick Hoyt )have taken part in many competitions including marathons(马拉松). But what makes them really different from others is that Rick was disabled at birth. He does not swim, cycle or run.

When Rick came to the world in 1962, doctors told his parents that they had no hope for him. But Dick and his wife did not give up. They brought Rick back home and determined to raise him as normally as possible.

In 1975，Rick was admitted into a public school. Two years later, he was taken by his father to participate in a fund-raising（筹集资金的）5-mile run. Dick pushed Rick in a wheelchair to finish the race. They finished second to last, but Rick was so happy that he told his father he did not feel handicapped when they were in the competition. This run was their first time to compete. During this journey, almost everyone looked down on Rick. No one talked to them or ran beside them. But, the father and the son kept going strong. After 4 years of marathons, “Team Hoyt” went for their first triathlon（三项全能运动）．Dick did not know how to swim before this, so he put a lot of effort into learning the skill. He worked out up to 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, even when he had to work. He wanted to set a good role model for Rick-once you set out to do something, stick to it, whatever it takes.

In 2012, Dick Hoyt and Rick Hoyt were going to be 70 and 50 years old. After so many years，“Team Hoyt" managed to raise public awareness about the disabled. Dick said，“Those doctors who asked us to give up are not alive any more, but I would like them to be able to see Rick now."

【解析】

本文为记叙文。当瑞克在1962出生时，有残疾，但迪克和他的妻子并没有放弃，尽可能正常地抚养他。后来瑞克被一所公立学校录取。两年后，他被父亲带去参加5英里的募捐活动，“Hoyt队”参加了他们的第一项三项全能赛，并设法提高了公众对残疾人的认识，让人们看到了他们的与众不同之处。

1.推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了父亲（Dick Hoyt）推着轮椅上的残疾儿子瑞克（Rick Hoyt），参加了包括马拉松比赛在内的多项比赛，所以文中的"Team Hoyt"指的就是父亲（Dick Hoyt）和儿子（Rick Hoyt）父子俩，分析选项可知A正确。

2.细节理解题。根据第三段最后“Dick did not know how to swim before this, so he put a lot of effort into learning the skill….He wanted to set a good role model for Rick-once you set out to do something, stick to it, whatever it takes.”可知，他想为瑞克树立一个好榜样，一旦你开始做某事，坚持下去，无论付出什么代价。分析选项可知C项符合题意，故选C项。

3.细节理解题。当瑞克在1962出生时，虽然残疾，但迪克和他的妻子并没有放弃。1975，瑞克被一所公立学校录取。两年后，他被父亲带去参加5英里的募捐活动，最后“Hoyt队”参加了他们的第一项三项全能赛。分析选项可知D项符合题意。

4.推理判断题。最后一段的内容：2012年Dick Hoyt70岁，Rick Hoy 50岁。经过这么多年，"Team Hoyt"设法提高了公众对残疾人的认识。迪克说：“那些要求我们放弃的医生已经不复存在了，但我希望他们现在能见到瑞克。”由此可推断出迪克非常自豪，他没有放弃残疾儿子，而且他们为社会也作出了一定的贡献。分析选项可知B项符合题意。
