The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would 39 and play, too. We 40 told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to 41 as wall as the other children. So he didn’t know.
In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross country 42 . Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others perhaps he 43 that the abilities that seemed to come 44 to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the 45 team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential （可能性）to 46 points for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never 47 the team, so he didn’t know.
He 48 to run four to five miles a day, every day even the day he had a 103 degree fever. I was 49 , so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt, “ 50 ,” he said．He had two more miles to go. The sweat 51 his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he 52 straight ahead and kept running.. We never told him he couldn’t run four miles with a 103 degree fever. So he didn’t know.
Two weeks later, the name of the team runners were 53 . Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was only in seventh the other six team members were all 54 .
We never told him he shouldn’t 55 to make the team. We never told him he couldn’t do it, so he didn’t know. He just did it.

解析：
36．C 此空格处是一个转折的话语，破折号是用来表示一个很重要的信息。B词意不合；A、D不应用此结构。
37．D 此答案根据前文的“The doctors…run very well”得出。
38．A 答案“wouldn’t know”表示“不会知道”。B表示“没有想像到”；C表示“不应发现”；D表示“不可能鉴别”，皆不通。
39．B 此句的意思是“别的小孩在那里玩（游戏），他也就（直接）进（跳）入他们的游戏圈内，无所困难或顾忌。”
40．A 根据下文可以得出此答案，下文多次出现与本句意义、结构类似的话语，据此断定。
