A
I'm a 20year old boy， and the following is my story.
A month after I graduated from high school in August， 2007， I was coming home from swimpractice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.
I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn't open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around. At that time， it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body， my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams.
After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions， I had to make every great effort to learn to talk， eat， walk， shower， and live on my own again. When I was out of hospital， I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf， Maryland. After I spent a few months in a wheelchair， I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I was able to walk again， but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk， but also run. When it came true， I wanted to get back into the pool again. After having a few lung tests， I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training， I began my freshman year at St. Mary's College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team.
By telling my story， I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live every day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed， I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow， things would work out for the best.

本文讲述了作者如何克服重重困难，从车祸后昏迷状态到慢慢学会自理、走路、跑步，最后又重返泳池成为游泳队的一员。作者通过自己的故事鼓励他人不要放弃自己的梦想。
1.B 词义猜测题。根据下文第三段可知，作者曾八次走到死亡的边缘，不会张嘴说话、不会交流，这时他恢复了意识，由此可推知，coma意为“昏迷”，故选B项。
2.C 推理判断题。从第三段内容可看出，作者克服身体的痛苦同时又是意志力的磨炼，故作者既面对身体挑战又面对精神挑战，故选C项。
3.C 细节理解题。从最后一段特别是第一句话“By telling my story， I want to make a positive influence on the world.”可看出作者的写作目的，故选C项。
