【分析】
做这篇完形填空，首先要通读全文，把握文章核心：讲述身患脊柱裂的女孩凯特积极乐观生活、参与志愿活动和运动的故事。之后逐个分析题目：
1. 先利用上下文的逻辑关系，比如第1题，前文说凯特和其他女孩一样，but表转折，所以要选表“不像”的词；
2. 结合生活常识和语境，比如第2题，脊柱裂患者腿戴支架，结合选项可知是做过手术；
3. 关注固定句型和短语，比如第9题的not...until...，第15题的think about；
4. 利用情感态度线索，比如第3题，凯特总是微笑，外向，所以选“自信”的词。每一个空都要从前后文找提示，不能孤立看单个句子。
【解析】
1. C：根据前文“Kate L. is like any other girl today”以及空前的But表转折，可知凯特和其他女孩不一样，unlike符合语境。
2. B：根据“Kate has spina bifida”和“wears braces (支架) on her legs”的语境，身患脊柱裂且腿戴支架，说明她接受过多次手术，operations符合。
3. D：根据“she's outgoing and... and always wears smiles”，结合她虽患病但乐观的态度，此处应选与outgoing并列的积极词汇，confident（自信的）符合。
4. A：根据“She is allowed more time to get to school when she needs it.”和“she always manages to be on time”，可知她总是准时到校，所以从不迟到，never符合。

6. B：根据后文“the best thing I have had is supportive parents”，可知她得到了父母的支持，support符合。
7. A：根据引号内的内容是父母对她说的话，say（说）符合语境。
8. C：根据“her disability has... her to do things she might not have been able to do”，结合语境是残疾让她有机会去做以前做不到的事，allowed（允许，使能够）符合。
9. B：根据“She says she didn't know how to play any wheelchair sport at all”和“she started preparing for a wheelchair basketball match”，此处是not...until...（直到……才……）的固定句型，until符合。
10. D：根据空后的“rock climbing, cycling and downhill racing”是具体活动，take part in（参加）符合搭配，指她能参加的活动。
11. A：根据“like her”，凯特是残疾孩子，所以她帮助的是和她一样的残疾孩子，disabled符合。
12. B：根据“an organization that... the disabled”和前文她在这个机构帮忙，可知这是帮助残疾人的组织，helps符合。
13. C：根据“After school on most days, she works at A—DA”，放学后的时间，结合选项是晚上（evenings）在那里帮忙和做作业。
14. D：根据“such as wheelchair basketball and tennis”，这是运动，play sport（做运动）是固定搭配，plays符合。
