【小題15】A解析:
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。
【小題1】本句句意：你不能擁抱任何人；hold sb. in one’s arms符合句意。
【小題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”。
【小題3】沒有四肢的人生活自然不容易(not easy)。
【小題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。
【小題5】根據(jù)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。
【小題6】由前句可知“他沒有朋友”所以總是感到寂寞(lonely)。
【小題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。
【小題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(jīng)”，never意為“從不”，hardly意為“幾乎不”，應該用even。
【小題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。
【小題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。
【小題11】由其后的“gives speeches”及他所說的話可推出他是speaker(演講家)。
【小題12】“和困難作斗爭”用against difficulties。
【小題13】由后句“not what you don’t have”可推出是what you have。
【小題14】前面已經(jīng)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。
【小題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。
