二、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(A)
When I was little, I was really little. But I dreamed of being a basketball player. But, I was never
given a chance to join the school team.
As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a
new sport: running. I told Grandpa, "I'm going to be a runner."
"Dave," Grandpa said gently, "if you can't be big, you can do something big."
I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I added one more mile. On my 14th
birthday, I ran 14 miles. 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it — 17 miles on my 17th
birthday.
All this running inspired another big dream — Someday, I'd run the Boston Marathon. I went
there.
I ran fast that day, but I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to hospital. I called Grandpa and told him I
failed.
"No," he said calmly, "you didn't fail. You learned that ▲. If you train hard, I will cheer you
on next year."
I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died.
He wouldn't be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I'd run for him.
That day, I ran fast. "Keep going! You can do it!" His words filled my heart as I made each painful
step, till I crossed the finish line.
() 1. Why did Dave fail to join the school basketball team?
A. He was too young. B. He couldn't run fast.
C. He was not tall enough. D. He didn't work hard.
() 2. Which sentence may be filled in ▲?
A. you are too small to finish the marathon
B. just wait and big dreams are waiting for you
C. running a marathon is too big for you

() 3. What is the best title for the text?

1-3: CDB

【分析】
1. 第1题：先定位短文第一段和第二段内容，文中明确提到Dave小时候个子很小，长大后也没长高多少，他想加入篮球队却没获得机会，由此可推断出是因为身高不够，对应选项C。
2. 第2题：结合上下文，Dave跑马拉松摔倒后认为自己失败了，爷爷否定了他的想法，后续还提到“如果你努力训练，明年我会为你加油”，说明爷爷想让他明白梦想的实现需要付出努力，分析选项可知D选项符合这一逻辑。
3. 第3题：梳理全文脉络，Dave从最初的篮球梦到跑步梦，再到挑战波士顿马拉松，爷爷“if you can't be big, you can do something big”的话语贯穿始终，全文围绕“心怀大梦想并为之努力”展开，因此最佳标题是B选项。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据短文第一段“When I was little, I was really little. But I dreamed of being a basketball player. But, I was never given a chance to join the school team.”以及第二段“As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger.”可知，Dave没能加入篮球队的原因是个子不够高，故选C。
2. 第2题：结合语境，Dave在马拉松比赛摔倒后觉得自己失败了，爷爷安慰他并强调要努力训练，说明爷爷想让他明白大梦想不会凭空而来，需要付出努力，D选项“big dreams don't just come and they take work”符合语境，故选D。
3. 第3题：A选项侧重爷爷的故事，偏离文章核心；C选项仅为文中一个事件，过于片面；D选项只是文章开头的内容，无法概括全文。文章围绕Dave的追梦经历展开，强调心怀大梦想的主题，B选项“Dream Big”最能概括全文主旨，故选B。
【答案】
1-3: CDB
【知识点】
1. 细节理解
2. 语境推理
3. 主旨归纳
