Later“后来”；B. Soon“不久”；C. Once“从前，一次”；D. Then“然后”。从文章语境可知此处是作者对过去事情的回忆，所以指“一次”，选C。33.动词辨析。A. worried“担忧”；B. encouraged“鼓励”；C. shocked“震惊”；D. hurt“伤害”。由上文 “I thought he was laughing at me”可以判断作者受到刺激，感觉心理受到伤害，hurt指 “感情、心灵受到伤害”选D。34.动词辨析。A. stuck“刺入，容忍”；B.impressed“印象，烙印”；C. occupied“占据” ；D. held“抓住”。固定短语stick in ones mind /head“铭记在心，经久不忘”，根据下文内容可知作者听从了那个人的话，玩起了室内棒球，所以答案选A。35.动词辨析。A. see“看见”；B. hear“听见”；C. notice“注意”；D. observe“观察”。作者是个盲人，所以判断球滚动的方向应该不能靠视觉，排除A、C、D选项，答案选B。句意：通过滚动球我能听到它去的方向。36.形容词辨析。A. important“重要的”；B.unimportant“不重要的”；C. possible“可能的”；D. impossible“不可能的”。从上文可知作者从来没想过去玩棒球，也认为自己玩不了棒球，所以当别人送球给他玩的时候，他会感觉很受刺激，由此判断他认为那是不可能的，选D。37.动词辨析。A. invented“发明”；B. discovered“发现”；C. instructed“说明”；D. directed“决定”。从下句 “We called it ground ball”，可知作者是通过对棒球做出改变，发明了“ground ball”，所以答案选A。38.名词辨析。A. experience“经历”；B. advantages“优势”；C. knowledge“知识”；D. limitation“限制”。由下文 “It was no good crying for something that I knew at the start was.out of reach”可以判断作者很清楚地知道自己身体的缺陷，所以在制定目标时会考虑到自己的局限性，选D。39.副词辨析。A. hardly“几乎不”；B. wildly“粗野地；极其，非常”；C. highly“高地”；D. deeply“深地”。根据语境可知作者很理智地制定目标，不会制定无法实现的目标，答案选B。40.连词辨析。A.so“所以”；B.for“为了”；C.but“但是”；D. and“和”。根据前句 “I would fail something anyway”和后句“I made progress.”的可知前后句意相反，所以选C。
