Vhan McGuire is a college student. He loves hiking, camping and being in nature very much. But in October 2024, a ___1___ accident happened to him. He could not move freely like before.

Common wheelchairs only work well on hard and flat ground. They cannot go on outdoor roads ___2___. Vhan felt sad because he could not enjoy the outdoors anymore.

Later, a friend introduced him to ___3___ engineering students from Tennessee Tech University. Their names are Braden Hopper, John Avery and Luke White. They wanted to do something helpful. So they built a special ___4___ for Vhan. They called it “The Chariot”.

This wheelchair is strong and can move on many kinds of outdoor terrain (地形). Now Vhan can go outside and do the things he loves again. He no longer just watches others enjoy life.

1.1.

A boring

B terrible

C common

D small

解析：选B。B 考查形容词。文章第一段提到范・麦圭尔原本热爱户外活动，但后来“could not move freely like before”，说明他遭遇的事故导致行动能力受损。四个选项中，A意为“无聊的”，B意为“糟糕的、可怕的”，C意为“普通的”，D意为“小的”。只有B“terrible”符合语境，表示这是一场导致严重后果的严重事故，为后文他无法自由活动埋下伏笔。故选 B。

2.2.

A easily

B early

C quietly

D slowly

解析：选A。A 考查副词。前一句说普通轮椅只在坚硬平坦的地面好用，本句说它们在户外道路上无法……。结合后文范・麦圭尔因无法享受户外活动而难过，可知普通轮椅在户外道路上“不容易”使用。A意为“容易地”，B意为“早地”，C意为“安静地”，D意为“缓慢地”。根据语义逻辑，普通轮椅不适合户外地形，因此无法“轻易地”在户外道路行驶，故选A。

3.3.

A two

B three

C four

D five

解析：选B。B 考查数词。文章第三段明确提到“Their names are Braden Hopper, John Avery and Luke White”，列出了三位学生的姓名，因此人数为三。其他选项与文中信息不符，学生需仔细阅读人名数量得出正确答案。故选 B。

4.4.

A bike

B chair

C wheelchair

D car

解析：选C。C 考查名词。文章前文一直在讨论轮椅（wheelchairs）的局限性，本段说这几位学生为范・麦圭尔制作了一个特别的物品并命名为“The Chariot”。下文紧接着描述“This wheelchair is strong…”，说明他们制作的正是轮椅。A“自行车”、B“椅子”、D“汽车”均与上下文不符，只有C“轮椅”与前文主题一致。故选 C。

5.5.

A her

B it

C them

D him

解析：选D。D 考查代词。空格所在句意为“它让他过上他喜欢的生活”，代词指代的是范・麦圭尔。从全文可知范是男性（文中使用he），且为单数，因此应用宾格him。A“她”、B“它”、C“他们”均不符合指代对象。故选 D。
