【解析】

本文介紹了邁克爾·霍伊特幫助自己殘疾兒子里克的故事，他帶著里克多次參加馬拉松和鐵人三項，因為這樣可以讓里克感覺他自己和正常人一樣。

【1】句意：但是與邁克爾·霍伊特相比，我什么都不是。

connected聯(lián)系；compared比較；filled填充；treated對待。根據(jù)句中“I am nothing.”可知，此處是“與邁克爾·霍伊特相比之下，我什么都不是”；compared with sb.與某人相比。故選B。

【2】句意：這個愛的故事始于43年前的溫徹斯特。

speech演講；night晚上；story故事；movie電影。根據(jù)下文“when Rick was strangled（勒�。�by the umbilical cord（臍帶）during birth”可知，此處從里克的出生來講述這個故事；story是名詞，用在此處符合題意。故選C。

【3】句意：里克在出生時被臍帶勒住，導(dǎo)致大腦受損，無法控制四肢。

control控制；rush沖；protect保護；enjoy享受。根據(jù)下文“He'll be a vegetable.”可知，里克可能會成為一個植物人，所以此處是“無法控制四肢”；control是動詞，用在此處符合題意。故選A。

【4】句意：他下半輩子都會變成植物人。

name姓名；rest其余，剩余部分；end結(jié)尾；case案件。根據(jù)句中“He'll be a vegetable.”以及下文“when Rick was nine months old”可知，此處是“里克的下半輩子會變成植物人”；rest是名詞，用在此處符合題意。故選B。

【5】句意：但是霍伊特夫婦不相信（里克會變成植物人）。

knowing知道；admiring稱贊；hoping希望；believing相信。根據(jù)句中but可知，此處表示與上文內(nèi)容轉(zhuǎn)折，即：霍伊特夫婦不相信里克會變成植物人。故選D。

【6】句意：因為他們注意到當他們在房間里的時候，里克的眼睛會跟隨他們（動來動去）。

ears耳朵；limbs四肢；eyes眼睛；brains大腦。根據(jù)句中noticed可知，此處是“霍伊特夫婦注意到里克的眼睛會轉(zhuǎn)來轉(zhuǎn)去”。故選C。

【7】句意：他的大腦里沒有任何思維。

everything所有事情；something某些事情；nothing什么也沒有；anything任何事情。根據(jù)上文“asked if there was anything to help the boy communicate”和句中but可知，此處是“霍伊特夫婦詢問醫(yī)生有沒有辦法可以幫助里克交流，但是醫(yī)生說里克沒有任何思維活動”。故選C。

【8】句意：他們（醫(yī)生們）給里克講了一個笑話，接下來里克笑了。

cried 哭；laughed笑；typed打字；moved移動。根據(jù)上文“Tell him a joke”可知，此處是“里克聽到醫(yī)生們給他講的笑話以后笑了”。故選B。

【9】句意：配備了一臺電腦，用頭的一側(cè)控制光標，里克終于可以交流了。

for為了；in在……里；with用，借助；at在。根據(jù)句中“the side of his head”可知，此處是“用頭的一側(cè)控制光標來交流”。故選C。

【10】句意：里克終于可以交流了。

badly有害地；widely廣泛地；hardly幾乎不；finally最終，終于。根據(jù)句中commuciate可知，此處是“經(jīng)過醫(yī)生們的努力，里克最終可以與其他人交流了”。故選D。

【11】句意：在一個高中同學(xué)在事故中癱瘓后，學(xué)校為他組織了一次慈善步。里克打出“爸爸，我想?yún)⒓印薄?/span>

accident事故；society社會；survey調(diào)查；marathon馬拉松。根據(jù)句中“was paralyzed”可知，此處是“在一次意外事故中癱瘓了”。故選A。

【12】句意：邁克爾，一個從不一次跑超過一英里的人，怎么能推著他兒子跑五英里？

any time任何時間；in time及時；at a time一次；for a long time很長一段時間。根據(jù)句中“a man who never ran more than a mile”可知，此處是“一次不超過一英里”。故選C。

【13】句意：可是，他嘗試了。

So因此；However 然而，可是；Though雖然；Besides除此之外（還有）。根據(jù)上文“How was Michael, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time going to push his son five miles?”可知，對于里克參加慈善跑，作者是持懷疑態(tài)度；根據(jù)“he tried”可知，里克參加了慈善跑，所以此處是表示轉(zhuǎn)折，即：可是，他嘗試了。故選B。

【14】句意：當我們在跑步的時候，我感覺我不再是殘疾人了。

disabled殘疾的；confident自信的；relaxed放松的；regretful后悔的。根據(jù)句中“that day changed Rick's life”和“when we were running”可知，此處是“那次慈善跑改變了里克的生活，當他在跑步的時候，他覺得他和正常人一樣，不再是殘疾人”。故選A。

【15】句意：他想盡可能多地給里克那種感覺。

soon 不久，很快；long長的；fast快的；often經(jīng)常。根據(jù)下文“Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times in triathlon（鐵人三項）.”可知，里克的父親帶著里克參加了85次馬拉松和8次鐵人三項，而這樣做的目的就是為了盡可能多地給里克那種感覺——他（里克）不再是殘疾人了；as often as意為“盡可能多”，用在此處符合題意。故選D。
