【解析】这篇文章主要讲了一个十一岁的残疾男孩痴迷于火车，有一次做出疯狂举动的有趣故事。

【1】考查定语从句。___1___he learned to use his ___2___(foot)as “hands”.是一个定语从句，修饰先行词special schools，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以填关系副词where。

【2】考查名词单复数。他学习把他的脚当作手来使用。“他的脚”是复数意义，所以填feet。

【3】考查固定句型。Spend time (in) doing sth.花费时间做某事，是固定句型，所以填watching。

【4】考查动词短语。Come true成为现实，是固定短语，所以填true。

【5】考查固定句型。have no difficulty in doing sth. 做某事没有困难, 是固定句型，所以填difficulty。

【6】考查介词。这句话的意思是很快他就可以以每小时40英里的速度行走。表示“以……的速度”，用介词at。

【7】考查固定句型。set out to do sth.开始做某事，是固定句型，所以填to stop。

【8】考查时态。and连接几个并列的谓语，前面reached与stopped都用得一般过去时，所以这个空也要用一般过去时，填made。

【9】考查副词。修饰动词said，用副词，填simply。

【10】考查冠词。特指前面提到的这名铁路员工，所以用定冠词the。
