【要点综述】文章告诉我们，面对苦难和挑战，要充分发挥想象力的作用，使自己内心强大起来，梦想才能实现。

26．A　细节理解题。

由第一段的“Tom，afour－year－oldboywithacancerinhisbackbone.Hecamethroughseveraloperations…”可知，Tom病得很厉害。

27．D　推理判断题。

由第四段的“AndTom,withthestrengthofhisfantasy，successfullymadeitthroughtheoperation.”可以看出，Tom的妈妈答应儿子的要求，就是想帮儿子减少手术的痛苦感。

其他选项可以这样排除：

由第三段的“Shehadavoidedbuyingtheexpensivecostume（戏装），butfinallysheagreed.”可以看出A和B错误；C项可以由常识排除。

28．B　细节理解题。

由第四段的“ThenextdayTomappearedasthepowerfulSuperman,showingoffthroughthehospitalhallsandcoollywavinghishandtothepeoplegreetinghimalongtheway.”可知当时他的行为和超人一样。

故选B。

29．C　推理判断题。

这是对前面所讲述的故事的升华，故事中小Tom用自己的想象力战胜了痛苦，作者在这里也建议我们面对困难时要“needtobecometowinoveryourchallengeanddoitinyourmindfirst.”还要“letyourimaginationrunwild,anddaretodream.”由此可见，C项符合题意。

30．D　写作目的题。

文章开篇点题：

Imaginationandfantasycanplayanimportantroleinachievingthethingswefear.告诉我们想象力的重要性，然后通过一个具体的例子加以论证。

最后一段中作者又鼓励我们在挑战和困难面前使用想象力，使自己内心强大起来，故选D。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项。
