Answer 1

分析 本文讲述了一个无臂男孩开火车的故事．
这个孩子天生没有手臂，在特别学校里他学会了用脚当手来用．他每天观察火车，终于有一天发现了一辆没人驾驶的火车，他爬上去用脚开动起火车，以每小时40英里开出去，然后开回来，好在被一个铁路职工停下来，当他解释他喜欢火车的时候，这个职工说"我很高兴你不喜欢飞机"

解答 61．where．考查关系词．先行词special schools在定语从句he learned to use his做地点状语，表示"在这些学校他学会了用脚当手"．
62．feet．考查名词．根据下文with his feet可知他用脚做事．
63．watching．考查非谓语动词．固定句式spend time doing sth 表示"花费时间做某事"．
64．true．考查固定短语．come true表示"实现"．
65．difficulty．考查派生词．no 后用名词difficulty表示"做某事没用困难"．
66．at．考查介词．表示速度用at．at forty miles an hour表示"以每小时40英里"．
67．to stop．考查非谓语动词．set out to do 表示"出发去做某事"．
68．made．考查谓语动词．根据前面并列的二个谓语reached Missouri，stopped the engine himself可知第三个谓语用过去式made．
69．simply．考查副词．修饰动词 said用副词simply．
70．the．考查冠词．第二次提到这个铁路职工，用定冠词the．

点评 考查语法填空．
定冠词是虚词，用在名词的前面，帮助指明名词的含义．区别于不定冠词，定冠词具有确定的意思，用以特指人或事物，表示名词所指的人或事物是同类中的特定的一个，以别于同类中其他的人或事物，相当于汉语中的"那个"或"这个"的意思．它可以和单、复数名词，也可以和不可数的名词连用
