B
At first glance, Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mum. However, he arrived at school dirty every morning, and along with his outward appearance, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways, too. His home was a mess and his parents never settled in one place. He had yet to live a full year in any one place.
Every time when it was Ronny’s turn to read, he would sit close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he struggled to sound out “Bud the Sub.” It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his speech _impediment_ and his difficulty with the alphabet.
The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but hardly enough to bring him up to grade level. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony. It took me a while to figure out where Ronny fit; I needed something positive, but there wasn’t really much. I finally decided on “Most Improved Reader”. I presented Ronny with his certificate and a book.
A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I saw Ronny read the book. His teacher appeared beside me. “He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. It’s the first book he’s ever actually owned.”
Fighting back tears, I approached Ronny and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny?” He glanced up and nodded.
And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me with more expression, clarity, and ease than I’d ever thought possible for him. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction, “Good book.”
At that moment, I knew I would get serious about my own writing career and do what that author had done, and probably still does — care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference.
I want to be that author.

答案： 24.C 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“he struggled to sound out‘Bud the Sub.’It sounded more like‘Baw Daw’”及“his difficulty with the alphabet”可知，Ronny读不清单词，认字母也费劲，由此可推测，Ronny有言语障碍，即在言语这方面“缺乏能力”。
25.A 推理判断题。根据第三段内容，尤其是“I needed something positive”可推测，作者给Ronny颁发了“最佳进步读者奖”并送了他一本书是为了鼓励他。
26.B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Fighting back tears”可知，作者带着感动的心情去听Ronny给她读书；再根据第六段中的“he read to me with more expression，clarity，and ease than I'd ever thought possible for him”可知，作者没想到Ronny能读得那么好，由此可推测，Ronny的进步让作者有些惊讶。
27.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“my own writing career”及最后一段“I want to be that author.”可推断作者是一位作家。
