Question

【题目】 Jayce began notice when he started his schooling that he looked different from his classmates. They had two arms. He had one.

It started when one boy laughed at him, said his mother, Lewis. He’d return to his home with questions: “Why am I _______? Why me? His mother still remembered he was actually sad and angry with that.

Lewis said she didn’t know what to do at that point. A few weeks later, Lewis turned on the TV to a news story about an eighth grader, Trashaun, becoming popular after sharing videos of his slam dunks(灌篮) on the Internet, and, like Jayce, he _______ most of his left arm. Lewis called Jayce in. To her surprise, Jayce immediately got interested in the videos. At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun was _______ an encouraging moment for Jayce — he saw a role model with a similar _______. If it had stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy enough. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to build Jayce’s confidence.

The boys met and at once got on well with each other as both of them were in the same condition. They rode bikes, took photos, and shot basketball on the court. Instead of spending the whole day feeling _______ for themselves, they had a lot of fun. Sometimes, they talked about the problem — the lost left arm. Trashaun told Jayce not to let anyone discourage him and not to let those words shake his _________.

Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a noticeable change in her son. As for Trashaun, his relationship with Jayce made him expect to help more kids. “Honestly, it _______ a lot to know that I changed Jayce’s life”, Trashaun says. Still, he never dreamed that his _______ would make such a great difference in others “life”. I just thought my friends would see them, and be like, “Oh, he dunked it!”

He certainly did.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了同样失去左臂的特拉肖恩在网上发布的视频是如何鼓舞了贾伊斯，使他重拾信心的。

【1】句意：我为什么会与众不同？

考查形容词。lonely孤独的；silly愚蠢的；different不同的；ordinary普通的。根据上文Jayce began notice when he started his schooling that he looked different from his classmates. They had two arms. He had one可知，贾伊斯发现自己与其他同学不太一样，因为他们有两只手，而他只有一只。C选项different符合句意，故选C。

【2】句意：和贾伊斯一样，他失去了大部分左臂。

考查动词。lost失去；hurt受伤；used使用；recovered康复。根据本句like Jayce提示，特拉肖恩也失去了左臂。A选项lost符合句意，故选A。

【3】句意：看着特拉肖恩（的视频）对贾伊斯来说似乎仅仅只是一个令人鼓舞的时刻。

考查副词。hardly几乎不；simply仅仅；still仍然；never绝不。根据下文If it had stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy enough … a family friend had already reached out to the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to build Jayce’s confidence可知，如果只是一直（看特拉肖恩的视频）下去，刘易斯就已经很高兴了，但一个朋友却更进一步，打算让特拉肖恩和贾伊斯见面，帮后者重新建立信心，而不只是通过看视频来获得鼓舞。故空格处应填入意为“仅仅”的副词。B选项simply符合句意，故选B。

【4】句意：他看到了一个有着相似问题的榜样。

考查名词。answer回答；family家庭；education教育；problem问题。根据句中similar提示，特拉肖恩和贾伊斯之间的共同问题都是失去了左臂。故空格处应填入意为“问题”的名词。D选项problem符合句意，故选D。

【5】句意：他们没有整天为自己感到难过，反而玩得很开心。

考查形容词。happy快乐的；helpful有益的；sorry遗憾的；fearful可怕的。根据句中they had a lot of fun提示，他们玩得很开心，并没有为自己失去左臂而感到难过。故空格处应填入意为“遗憾的、难过的”形容词。C选项sorry符合句意，故选C。

【6】句意：也不要让那些话动摇他的信心。

考查名词。confidence信心；patience耐心；sadness悲伤；honesty诚实。根据上文可知，贾伊斯因为没有左臂一直没有信心，故本句意为“也不要让那些话动摇他的信心”。故空格处应填入意为“信心”的名词。A选项confidence符合句意，故选A。

【7】句意：老实说，我改变了贾伊斯的生活，这对我意义重大。

考查动词。cares关心；means意味着；saves节省；takes花费。根据下文可知，特拉肖恩做梦也没想到自己的视频会给别人的人生带来如此大的改变，故本句意为“我改变了贾伊斯的生活，这对我意义重大”。故空格处应填入意为“意味着”的动词。B选项means符合句意，故选B。

【8】句意：他做梦也没想到自己的视频会给别人的人生带来如此大的改变。

考查名词。attitudes态度；disabilities缺陷；words话语；videos视频。根据上文可知，贾伊斯看到了特拉肖恩的视频，很受鼓舞，故本句句意为“他做梦也没想到自己的视频会给别人的人生带来如此大的改变”。空格处应填入意为“视频”的名词。D选项videos符合句意，故选D。
