一、完形填空 阅读提示：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个孩子一直不说话，好多医生给他检查过，但没有找到原因，没能让他说话，结果意想不到的是孩子有一天在吃饭时，突然开口说话。

1. C尽管在其他方面很正常，但是就是不说话。只有though符合句意。

2. A根据上文孩子不能说话可知，下文应该是:格林夫妇想尽了各种办法让他说话，但都没成功。

A符合句意。

3. C根据前半句镇上最好的医生，后面应该是给他仔细做检查，examine “检查”的意思，符合句意。

4. A根据上文可知，孩子的问题就是从不说话，never“从来不”。

5. D 通过下一句“he doesn’t know he's able to speak."可知可能 是他的大脑有问题。

6. B由上句“But he can read and write. ”推断出这种情况很奇怪。strange意思是“奇怪的”，符合句意。

7. D根据时间推断，应该是几年以后去上大学。

8. C根据上文，再加上but转折词，word是可数名词，意思是“单词”，single起强调作用。

9. B 由 “Then one day Leo was having a meal with his parents."推断出应该是目光离开他吃着的饭，抬起头来。

10. D通过上下文以及空后的so long推出句意是“你为什么等那么长时间才说话呢?”
