【解析】

试题分析：我的儿子琼尼的双脚先天畸形。医生说他走能行但是跑不好。3岁之前一直在接受治疗。七八岁的时候，走路看起来和正常人一样。他和邻居的小孩子们一起跑玩，我们从没告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑 。因为我们不对他说，所以他不知道。我们从没有对他说他不会成功。是的，从没说起过……所以他不知道，但他却做到了！

1.考查名词的用法辨析。句意：我的儿子Joey生下来时，他的双脚严重扭曲。 Hands手；mouth嘴；body身体；feet脚。根据后面的walk和run 判断与脚有关。故选D。

2.考查副词的用法辨析。句意：医生向我们保证说经过治疗，小Joey可以像常人一样走路，但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。freely 自由地；fluently 流利地；normally 正常地；strangely 奇怪地。结合后面的走路正常判断，故选C。

3.考查名词的运用辨析。句意：Joey3岁之前一直在接受治疗，和支架、石膏模子打交道。treatment 治疗；school 学校；dark 黑暗；silence 沉默。前文提到Joey的脚先天畸形，所以要和正常人一样走路跑步一定是经过治疗。故选A。

4.考查动词的运用辨析。句意：八岁的时候，他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿脚有过毛病。study 学习；walk 走路；read 读书；stand 站立。全文都在围绕他的脚能走能跑说，故选B。

5.考查名词的运用辨析。句意：邻居的小孩子们玩的时候总是跑过来跑过去。小Joey 就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。holiday 假期；rest 休息；winter 冬天；play 玩耍。先朋友们在一起做的事当然是玩。故选D。

6.考查副词的运用辨析。句意：我们从没告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑，never 从不；often 经常；always 总是；still 仍然。结合其他段落中相似的这几句话判断，选A。

9.考查动词用法的辨析。句意：每天他和大伙一块训练。trained 训练；struggled 挣扎，斗争；fight 战斗；study 学习。train为参加某一活动所做的训练，故选A。

10.考查名词的运用辨析。句意：也许是意识到自己先天不如别人，他训练得比任何人都刻苦。scores 分数；abilities 能力；standards 标准；dreams 梦想。该句很复杂，第一个that从句是宾语从句，空后的定语从句that seemed to come naturally to so many others修饰这里的名词，带入四个选项判断，别人天生就有的能力他没有。故最佳选B。

11.考查形容词的运用辨析。句意：训练队的前7名选手可以参加最后比赛，为学校拿分。last 上一个；strongest 最强壮的；top 最好的；number 数量。根据常识判断应该是前七名有机会为学校赢得分数。故选C。
