1.A  由下文中his younger brother became his shadow（影子）可知，从此他不得不依靠他的弟弟。

2.D  look for “寻找”；look at “看”；look up “查找”；look after “照顾”。由上文“他在事故中失去了双臂”可知，是为了照顾他。

3.A  leave sb. alone不去打扰某人，让某人独自呆着，留下某人独自一人。

4.C  由上文知他失去了双臂，因此只能用脚趾写字。

5.C  go up “上升”；bring up “养育”；grow up “长大”；give up “放弃”。此处句意为“兄弟两人一起长大，有一天，他的弟弟不得不去远方工作，像许多常人一样过自己的生活”。

6.A  此处句意为“为此，他很伤心，不知如何是好”。 do是实义动词，后缺少宾语成分，what是疑问代词可充当宾语。

7.B  在肯定句句末，表示“也”，因此用too。

8.B  现在分词短语作状语。

9.B  try to do sth.意为“努力去做某事，尽力去做某事”，表示想尽一切办法要把事情办成。

10.B  句意：尽管她的在另一个城市学习的姐姐表示愿意帮助她，但她仍然决定自己要完全独立，因此用though。

11.C  ask sb. to do sth.意为“要求某人做某事”。此处句意为“人们要求他们两人在一张纸上用脚趾写点儿东西”。

12.B  由“虽然我失去了双臂，但我还有腿”可知，lucky “幸运的”合乎句意。

13.C  all “所有的”；either “两者中任何一个”；none “都不”，用于三者或三者以上；both “两者都”。由文章可知指“两者都”，因此选C。

14.C   complain about sth.“抱怨某事”，为固定搭配。

15.C  根据上文女孩的经历可知，如果你决定坚强面对，困难就会变成幸运。
