One of the most famous basketball players

题目内容：

One of the most famous basketball players in the New Castle ' s history was paralyzed(瘫痪的) in a wheelchair one day and was walking the next. Citizens of New Castle simply refer to it as " The Miracle" .

Joel Haler woke up in his dorm room at Hope College last October totally paralyzed from the waist down. Four hospitals later, the only way he could walk was through Robotic Walking Treatment.

"This past Tuesday ,I was doing the Robotic walk and lasted ten minutes, " Joel said. After that, he gave up. Joel w-anted to accept the inevitable (不可避免的事) and cancelled his next Robotic Walking Treatment appointment.

Then , the night before his cancelled appointment, he woke up to a terrible pain. An hour and a half later ,the serious pain left him with an unusual feeling in his legs.

" As it continued to move up my legs ,it became more and more painful and it took an hour and a half to reach my hips(臀部) , " Joel recalled.

"I stood up and walked into my parents' room. ' Mom and dad, look! ' ," he said proudly.

" He said something and I was like, ' Joell Joel ! You ' re walking ! You ' re walking ! ' We jumped out of bed , cried and hugged, " Joel ' s mom Karen remembered.

"I burst into tears. It ' s hard seeing your son not be able to walk .but he was standing there , walking , " Joel ' s father Eric said , tearfully.

It was Thursday , January 23 , when he could finally walk. That date made perfect sense to Joel. He had dreamt of a calendar that only said "J 23 " . He didn't know what to make of it until "a little boy at church ,four years old, came up to me and said, ' you will walk on a Thurs-day ' , " Joel recalled.

So the 20-year-old college student, who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday ,was walking on his own.

小题1:C

【试题解析】推理题。根据文章1,2行One of the most famous basketball players in the New Castle ' s history was paralyzed(瘫痪的) in a wheelchair one day and was walking the next.可知一个著名的篮球运动员瘫痪在轮椅上，但是第二天突然又能够走路了。这里的The Miracle就是指这件事情。故C正确。

小题2:B

【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段第一句Joel Haler woke up in his dorm room at Hope College last October totally paralyzed from the waist down.可知Joel Haler醒来时发现自己腰部以下都瘫痪了，腰部以下的正是腿部和脚。故B正确。

小题3:D

【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第三段"This past Tuesday ,I was doing the Robotic walk and lasted ten minutes, " Joel said. After that, he gave up. Joel w-anted to accept the inevitable (不可避免的事) and cancelled his next Robotic Walking Treatment appointment.可知Joel Haler取消了和医生的约会，说明他想放弃治疗了。故D正确。

【长难句解析】

So the 20-year-old college student, who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday ,was walking on his own.

【翻译】所以这位20岁的大学毕业生，星期二的时候只能依靠机器人才可以行走，现在却是靠着自己就行了。

【分析】本句中的非限制性定语从句who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday用来修饰我们的先行词student，who在句中做主语。非限制性定语从句与先行词的关系不够紧密，省略对句子的意思也没有太大的影响。
