With a determined(坚定的) look on his face, Chicago’s Michael McCarthy held on to the banister(扶手) and climbed to the top of the Willis Tower not long ago. The tower is 442 meters tall, the h【1】 building in the USA.

McCarthy was born without legs and he had to wear prosthetic legs(假肢). But he believes that he shouldn’t give up achieving his success although he is disabled. “I just want to show people that if a kid with no legs can do it, a【3】 can do it,” he said.

He has been in a special school since he was four. When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his teacher, Jeff Kohn, offered to help t【4】 him. They spent more than ten hours practising climbing stairs every day. “It means that he n【5】 knows how difficult it is. Sometimes I was so tired that I asked him to rest for a day,” said Kohn, “But he said he was still full of energy(能量) and wanted more e【6】,”

McCarthy said he was p【7】 of himself. “When I ‘m older, I”ll point to the building and say ’Look at this building I climbed’,”he said.

【解析】

文章讲述了一位残疾少年攀登美国第一塔的事迹，主要叙述了他是如何攀登的以及他自己的一些感触，也让我们明白了身残志坚的道理。

【1】句意：这座塔高442米，是美国最高的建筑。

根据句意理解可知，这里是攀登the Willis Tower，是美国最高的建筑物，所以这里表达的是“最高的”，英语是highest，是形容词的最高级形式，故答案为highest。

【2】句意：但这并没有阻止他。

根据句意理解及前句McCarthy almost fell down麦卡锡差点摔倒以及句中的but可知，这里表达的是“没有停止”，英语中“停止”是stop，而空格前有助动词didn’t，所以这里直接用动词原形，故答案为stop。

【3】句意：我只想告诉人们，如果一个没有腿的孩子能做到，任何人都能做到。

根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“任何人”，英语是anyone，是一个复合不定代词，在句中做主语，所以这里应该填原形，故答案为anyone。

【4】句意：他的老师杰夫·科恩主动提出要帮助他训练。

根据句意理解及后句They spent more than ten hours practising climbing stairs every day. 他们每天花十个多小时练习爬楼梯。可知这里表达的是“训练”，英语是train，是一个动词，而空格前有to，所以这里应该用动词原形，故答案为train。

【5】句意：这意味着他永远不知道这有多困难。

根据句意理解及前句They spent more than ten hours practising climbing stairs every day. 他们每天花十个多小时练习爬楼梯。可知这里表达的是“永远不知道有多难”，英语中表达否定的词是never，在句中修饰动词knows，故答案为never。

【6】句意：但他说他仍然精力充沛，想多锻炼。

根据句意理解及前文They spent more than ten hours practising climbing stairs every day. 他们每天花十个多小时练习爬楼梯。可知这里表达的是“锻炼”，英语是exercise，是一个不可数名词，故答案为exercise。

【7】句意：麦卡锡说他为自己感到骄傲。

根据句意理解及后句“When I’m older, I’ll point to the building and say ‘Look at this building I climbed’, ”he said. 他说：“等我长大了，我会指着大楼说‘看看我爬的这座大楼’。”可知这里表达的是“为自己感到骄傲”，英语中表达“骄傲”是proud，是一个形容词，在句中放在be动词后面做表语，故答案为proud。
