【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述了一个孩子一直不说话，好多医生给他检查过，但没有找到原因，没能让他说话，结果意想不到的是孩子有一天在吃饭时，突然开口说话。

1.语境理解与逻辑推理。尽管在其他方面很正常，但是就是不说话。所以选择答案C。

2.语境理解。根据上下文，父母透通过各种方法想让他说话。所以选择答案A

3.考查单词的词义，医生给孩子做检查，examine“检查”的意思。所以选择答案C。

4.考查语境理解。根据上下文，孩子的问题就是不张口说话，never“从来不”，所以选择答案A。

5.考查单词的词义，孩子各方面都正常，所以医生推断是思想上出了问题，所以选择答案D。

6.语境理解。由上句“But he can read and write.” said Mr. Green. “We’ve written him notes, telling him that he can speak.” 推断出这种情况很奇怪，所以选择答案B。

7.语境理解。根据时间推断，应该是几年以后去上大学，所以选择答案D。

8.细节理解题。根据上文，再加上but转折词，可知Leo还是没说话，所以选择答案C。

9.细节理解题。由Then one day Leo was having a meal with his parents.推断出应该是吃着饭，抬起头来，所以选择答案B。

10.细节理解与逻辑推理。由上下文，还有空后的so long推出句意是“你为什么等那么长时间才说话那”所以选择答案D。

考点：故事类短文。
