試題分析：這篇文章主要介紹了Nadya Vessy 是一個天生殘疾的女孩，在她16歲時進行了膝蓋以下雙腿的截肢。一個小男孩的提問讓她產生了成為美人魚的夢想，并且在別人的幫助下實現了自己的夢想。

1.考查代詞及語境的理解。因為legs 是復數，所以只能是兩條腿了，故選B。Both of her legs below the knees were cut off. 她的雙腿膝蓋以下被截肢。

2.考查代詞及語境的理解。因為要做watch 的賓語，前面又提到her legs，所以要用賓格形式her，故選D。when a little boy was watching her take off? her prosthetic(假體的)legs，當一個小男孩在看她脫下假肢的時候。

3.考查疑問詞及語境的理解。結合上文，她用的是假肢，所以小男孩問的應該是為什么，故選A。he asked her why she didn't have any legs.他問她為什么沒有腿。

4.考查副詞及語境的理解。結合上下文，小男孩應該沒讀過美人魚的故事，所以他才相信，故選A No。

5.考查形容詞及語境的理解。surprised 感到吃驚的，主語是人，surprising 令人吃驚的，主語是物，故選C。結合上文，Nadya told him that she was a mermaid. 所以他應該是感到吃驚，而不是 sad難過的，afraid 害怕的，fortunate幸運的。

6.考查名詞及語境的理解。The idea of becoming a mermaid became clearer and clearer in Nadya's mind. 結合上文，應該是成為美人魚的想法在她的思想里越來越清晰。不是新聞，故事或歷史，故選B。

7.考查介詞及語境的理解。after 在些處為介詞，后跟動名詞，think over 仔細考慮，她應該是認真考慮之后她才會寫信求助，故選D。

8.考查動詞及語境的理解。結合上文，應該是問問能否幫助她，to ask if they could help her. 所以選D help。

9.考查動詞及語境的理解。結合上文She never believed they actually would,所以she was excited when she knew they agreed. 當她知道他們同意的時候很激動，故選A。

10.考查形容詞及語境的理解。根據上文Richard Taylor, was very pleased to make it true,那么他當然想讓Nadya 變得美麗， and wanted Nadya to be beautiful，故選B。

11.考查名詞及語境的理解。根據上文，應是做了一套特殊的假肢給她，所以用a special suit,而hat,jacket,sweater都是普通的衣服,，故選D。It took sb. … to do sth.花某人多長時間做某事

12.考查介詞及語境的理解。上文提到兩年時間做出的假肢，戴著它當然既好看又要舒服。with 隨身帶著，故選A。your body has to be comfortable with it 戴著它你的身體必須是舒服的。

13.考查反身代詞及語境的理解。根據上文，舒服就是要讓它成為身體的一部分。you have to make it part of yourself.你必須讓它成為你身體的一部分，并且反身代詞要與前面的主語一致，故選C。

14.考查動名詞短語及語境的理解。根據下文Nadya went to the open sea to try on her mermaid suit. 可知，她應該在游泳池里練習之后再去海上嘗試的，故選D。其它選項都跟陸地有關。

15.考查副詞及語境的理解。It was really amazing and great to watch Nadya swim看Nadya 游泳真的是很令人驚異很棒的。really為副詞，修飾形容詞amazing,great，其它三項都是形容詞，故選B。

考點：故事類短文。
