Answer 1

分析 本文講述了一個無臂男孩開火車的故事．
這個孩子天生沒有手臂，在特別學校里他學會了用腳當手來用．他每天觀察火車，終于有一天發(fā)現(xiàn)了一輛沒人駕駛的火車，他爬上去用腳開動起火車，以每小時40英里開出去，然后開回來，好在被一個鐵路職工停下來，當他解釋他喜歡火車的時候，這個職工說"我很高興你不喜歡飛機"

解答 61．where．考查關系詞．先行詞special schools在定語從句he learned to use his做地點狀語，表示"在這些學校他學會了用腳當手"．
62．feet．考查名詞．根據下文with his feet可知他用腳做事．
63．watching．考查非謂語動詞．固定句式spend time doing sth 表示"花費時間做某事"．
64．true．考查固定短語．come true表示"實現(xiàn)"．
65．difficulty．考查派生詞．no 后用名詞difficulty表示"做某事沒用困難"．
66．at．考查介詞．表示速度用at．at forty miles an hour表示"以每小時40英里"．
67．to stop．考查非謂語動詞．set out to do 表示"出發(fā)去做某事"．
68．made．考查謂語動詞．根據前面并列的二個謂語reached Missouri，stopped the engine himself可知第三個謂語用過去式made．
69．simply．考查副詞．修飾動詞 said用副詞simply．
70．the．考查冠詞．第二次提到這個鐵路職工，用定冠詞the．

點評 考查語法填空．
定冠詞是虛詞，用在名詞的前面，幫助指明名詞的含義．區(qū)別于不定冠詞，定冠詞具有確定的意思，用以特指人或事物，表示名詞所指的人或事物是同類中的特定的一個，以別于同類中其他的人或事物，相當于漢語中的"那個"或"這個"的意思．它可以和單、復數名詞，也可以和不可數的名詞連用
