hedoctortoldhismotherthathewouldsurelydie可知医生认为Glenn不行能活下来，故D项正确。6．答案与解析：C推理推断题。第五段中的Heraneverywhereasfastashecould.和Laterincollege，Glennjoinedthetrackteam说明他利用一切可能的机会练习跑步并最终有资格加入高校田径队，故可推想他那时跑得已经很快并由此得到“theKansasFlyer”的外号，故选择C项。7．答案与解析：D微小环节理解题。由最终一段其次句中的ranamilein4minutesand4.4seconds,theworld'sfastestindoormile可知他创建了世界最快室内一英里的新纪录，故选择D项。8．答案与解析：A主旨大意题。文章主要讲解并描述GlennCunningham八岁时由于火灾下半身失去知觉，他从缓慢移动双腿、扶着篱笆尝试走路到后来练习奔跑、创建世界新纪录的阅历。文章最终一句Hisperseverancepaidoff.(他的坚持带来了胜利。)点题，故选A项。C【语篇解读】本
