【解析】

本文介绍了迈克尔·霍伊特帮助自己残疾儿子里克的故事，他带着里克多次参加马拉松和铁人三项，因为这样可以让里克感觉他自己和正常人一样。

【1】句意：但是与迈克尔·霍伊特相比，我什么都不是。

connected联系；compared比较；filled填充；treated对待。根据句中“I am nothing.”可知，此处是“与迈克尔·霍伊特相比之下，我什么都不是”；compared with sb.与某人相比。故选B。

【2】句意：这个爱的故事始于43年前的温彻斯特。

speech演讲；night晚上；story故事；movie电影。根据下文“when Rick was strangled（勒住）by the umbilical cord（脐带）during birth”可知，此处从里克的出生来讲述这个故事；story是名词，用在此处符合题意。故选C。

【3】句意：里克在出生时被脐带勒住，导致大脑受损，无法控制四肢。

control控制；rush冲；protect保护；enjoy享受。根据下文“He'll be a vegetable.”可知，里克可能会成为一个植物人，所以此处是“无法控制四肢”；control是动词，用在此处符合题意。故选A。

【4】句意：他下半辈子都会变成植物人。

name姓名；rest其余，剩余部分；end结尾；case案件。根据句中“He'll be a vegetable.”以及下文“when Rick was nine months old”可知，此处是“里克的下半辈子会变成植物人”；rest是名词，用在此处符合题意。故选B。

【5】句意：但是霍伊特夫妇不相信（里克会变成植物人）。

knowing知道；admiring称赞；hoping希望；believing相信。根据句中but可知，此处表示与上文内容转折，即：霍伊特夫妇不相信里克会变成植物人。故选D。

【6】句意：因为他们注意到当他们在房间里的时候，里克的眼睛会跟随他们（动来动去）。

ears耳朵；limbs四肢；eyes眼睛；brains大脑。根据句中noticed可知，此处是“霍伊特夫妇注意到里克的眼睛会转来转去”。故选C。

【7】句意：他的大脑里没有任何思维。

everything所有事情；something某些事情；nothing什么也没有；anything任何事情。根据上文“asked if there was anything to help the boy communicate”和句中but可知，此处是“霍伊特夫妇询问医生有没有办法可以帮助里克交流，但是医生说里克没有任何思维活动”。故选C。

【8】句意：他们（医生们）给里克讲了一个笑话，接下来里克笑了。

cried 哭；laughed笑；typed打字；moved移动。根据上文“Tell him a joke”可知，此处是“里克听到医生们给他讲的笑话以后笑了”。故选B。

【9】句意：配备了一台电脑，用头的一侧控制光标，里克终于可以交流了。

for为了；in在……里；with用，借助；at在。根据句中“the side of his head”可知，此处是“用头的一侧控制光标来交流”。故选C。

【10】句意：里克终于可以交流了。

badly有害地；widely广泛地；hardly几乎不；finally最终，终于。根据句中commuciate可知，此处是“经过医生们的努力，里克最终可以与其他人交流了”。故选D。

【11】句意：在一个高中同学在事故中瘫痪后，学校为他组织了一次慈善步。里克打出“爸爸，我想参加”。

accident事故；society社会；survey调查；marathon马拉松。根据句中“was paralyzed”可知，此处是“在一次意外事故中瘫痪了”。故选A。

【12】句意：迈克尔，一个从不一次跑超过一英里的人，怎么能推着他儿子跑五英里？

any time任何时间；in time及时；at a time一次；for a long time很长一段时间。根据句中“a man who never ran more than a mile”可知，此处是“一次不超过一英里”。故选C。

【13】句意：可是，他尝试了。

So因此；However 然而，可是；Though虽然；Besides除此之外（还有）。根据上文“How was Michael, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time going to push his son five miles?”可知，对于里克参加慈善跑，作者是持怀疑态度；根据“he tried”可知，里克参加了慈善跑，所以此处是表示转折，即：可是，他尝试了。故选B。

【14】句意：当我们在跑步的时候，我感觉我不再是残疾人了。

disabled残疾的；confident自信的；relaxed放松的；regretful后悔的。根据句中“that day changed Rick's life”和“when we were running”可知，此处是“那次慈善跑改变了里克的生活，当他在跑步的时候，他觉得他和正常人一样，不再是残疾人”。故选A。

【15】句意：他想尽可能多地给里克那种感觉。

soon 不久，很快；long长的；fast快的；often经常。根据下文“Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times in triathlon（铁人三项）.”可知，里克的父亲带着里克参加了85次马拉松和8次铁人三项，而这样做的目的就是为了尽可能多地给里克那种感觉——他（里克）不再是残疾人了；as often as意为“尽可能多”，用在此处符合题意。故选D。
