一、完形填空阅读提示：本文主要介绍了 Nadya Vessy是一个天生的残疾女孩，在她16岁时进行了膝盖以下双腿的截肢。一个小男孩的提问让她产生了成为美人鱼的梦想，并且在别人的帮助下实现了自己的梦想。

1. B因为legs是复数名词且谓语为were cut,所以只能是两条腿了，故选   B. “both of her legs below the knees were cut off. ”她的双腿膝盖以下被截肢。

2. D因为要作watch的宾语，前面又提到her legs,所以要用宾格形式her,故选   D.

3. A结合上文，她用的是假肢，所以小男孩问的应该是为什么，故选A.

4. A结合上下文，小男孩应该没有读过《美人鱼》的故事，所以他才相信，故选No。

5. C surprised“感到吃惊的”，主语是人；surprising“令人吃惊的”，主语是物。结合上文，“Nadya told him that she was a mermaid ,” 所以他应该是感到吃惊的。故选   C.

6. B结合上文，应该是成为美人鱼的想法在她的思想里越来越清晰，不是新闻、故事或历史，故选   B.

7. D after在此处为介词，后跟动名词。

think over意为“仔细考虑”。她应该是认真考虑之后她才会写信求助，故选   D.

8. D结合上文，应该是问问能否帮助她。故正确答案选   D.

9. A 结合上文“She never believed they actually would ,” 所以“she was excited when she knew they agreed (当她知道他们同意的时 候很激动) ”，故选A.

10. B 根据上文 “Richard Taylor,was very pleased to make it true,”那么他当然想让Nadya变得美丽。故选   B.

11. D根据上文，应是做了一套特殊的假肢给她，所以用a special suit,而 hat,jacket,sweater 都是普通的衣服，故选   D. It took sb. some time to do sth.为固定词组，意为“干某事花费某人多少 时间”。

12. A上文提到两年时间做出的假肢，戴着它当然既好看又要舒 服。with“随身带着”，故选A.

13. C根据上文,舒服就是要让它成为身体的一部分。根据前面的 主语为you,可推知反身代词要与前面的主语一致，故选   C.

14. D 根据下文“Nadya went to the open sea to try on her mermaid suit”可知，她应该在游泳池里练习之后再去海上尝试的。故 选   D.

15. B really为副词，修饰形容词“amazing and great”。其余三个选 项不符合题意。
