【解析】【主旨大意】本篇短文講述沒有四肢的澳大利亞人Nick Vujicic如何自強不息，和困難作斗爭，以及他用自己的故事鼓勵了更多的人的故事。

1.本句句意：你不能擁抱任何人；hold sb. in one’s arms符合句意。

2.本句句意：你會像29歲的澳大利亞人Nick Vujicic一樣對著鏡子中的自己笑嗎？smile at sb.意為“對某人笑”，符合句意；注意：laugh at sb.意為“嘲笑某人”。

3.沒有四肢的人生活自然不容易(not easy)。

4.句意為：在學校，很多學生開他的玩笑因為他看起來與其他每一個人不同。此處前后句之間是因果關系，應該用because連接句子。

5.根據上句可推出本句句意：他被拒絕成為他們的朋友；應該用their friends。

6.由前句可知“他沒有朋友”所以總是感到寂寞(lonely)。

7.fail to do sth.意為“干某事失敗”，forget to do sth.意為“忘記做某事”，help to do sth.意為“幫助做某事”，learn to do sth.意為“學會做某事”。此處表達的是“學會打字”，應該用learn to type。

8. 本句句意為：他甚至會沖浪和打高爾夫球。even意為“甚至”，ever意為“曾經”，never意為“從不”，hardly意為“幾乎不”，應該用even。

9.由之前“achieved great success”可推出“在學習方面，他屬于最優(yōu)秀的學生之中”，用excellent(優(yōu)秀的)符合句意。

10. 由后句“to encourage others to work hard for their dreams”可推出：他決定了余生該做什么事，用what to do。

11.由其后的“gives speeches”及他所說的話可推出他是speaker(演講家)。

12.“和困難作斗爭”用against difficulties。

13. 由后句“not what you don’t have”可推出是what you have。

14. 前面已經提及“his story against difficulties”，所以此處應該用story，本句意為：他的故事鼓勵了成千上萬的人。

15.該句句意為“我告訴人們當他們跌倒的時候要繼續(xù)爬起來。”與“keep on getting up”相對應的是fall(跌倒)。故選A。
