   英国男孩Keane Everton虽然只有6岁，却做出一个非 同寻常的举动:在全国各地骑车募捐，用于资助血红蛋白尿疾病的研究，拯救像他爷爷那样的病人。

1. C 上句介绍Keane Everton年龄很小;下句介绍他做了一 件不同寻常的事情。前后句之间为转折关系。

2. A他骑自行车为研究PNH募集钱款。

3. A根据下文可知，Keane Everton的爷爷的生日没到。由此判断说这番话是在生日来临之前。所以时间状语从 句用before引导。

4. B上文介绍他们一家张罗着给爷爷过生日；下句则提到他的爷爷已经去世。因此用连词although连接该句， 表示让步。

5. C上文提及Keane Everton的爷爷去世这件事。由此可知，upset“难过的”符合对Keane Everton的心情描述。

6. D既然Keane Everton的爷爷已经去世，家人还是打算给他过生日。因此用special修饰birthday。

7. D由下文可知，男孩这么小就开始自行车旅游募捐，家人给了很大的鼓励。由此判断动词encourage“鼓励”符 合句意。

8. D该句引用的是研究这种疾病的学者的评价。对于骑车募捐这件事他应该感到高兴才是。

9. B这位学者很赞赏男孩的义举，他认为应为该男孩骄傲。故certainly“当然”符合语境。

10. B该句引用的仍然是研究该疾病的学者的原话。因此该里解为“make this endowment to our research”。
