【主旨大意】本篇讲述了感人的故事，一个小男孩和一个女孩都失去了双手，两个人都能勇敢的面对生活。

31. D   由全文的第一句可知一个小男孩失去了双手和他父亲丢失了生命。根据意思，他必须“依靠”他弟弟的双手。故选D。     

32. A   考查不定代词。根据he could hardly中的hardly，它是否定词，排除B和C，再结合该句意思，故选A。

33. C   根据they often argued，他们有许多“问题”，排除B和D；questions一般与ask, answer搭配，相对容易解决；problems为难题。故选C。

34. B    根据上下文意思，他们两兄弟经常争吵，有一天，他兄弟“离开”了他，他很伤心。故选B。

35. C     疑问词加动词不定式做宾语。由句意他很伤心，不知道“做什么”，可知what to do。故选C。

36. B     句意：但她决定完全独立，虽然她姐姐想照顾她。由though引导的让步状语从句，只有C答案符合句意。

 37. B     根据Though I lost my hands, I still have legs，可以推出，女孩感到还是很幸运。

38. A     考查介词。句意：他们两个人都被邀请到一个电视采访节目。用to表示方向。

 39. C     辨析as, while 和when“当……时”。 as重在表示动作同时发生、伴随进行；when 在绝大多数情况下，所引导的从句中，应该使用非延续性动词；while只指“时间段”，不指“时间点”，从句的动词只限于持续性动词，while 可以表示“对比”。根据句意，这里应是“对比”，故选C。

40. D     根据第三段的最后一句：Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly。可以推出是flying heart, 故选D。
