【解析】本文是一篇人物介绍。讲述小时候因患癌症失去右腿的Jeff Keith为了与命运抗争而跑步穿越美国的励志故事。
（1）C细节理解。根据第一段When he was 12 years old, Jeff had cancer. Doctors had to cut off most of his right leg.可知他12岁的时候患癌症，医生不得不锯掉他的右腿的大部分。
（2）D推理判断题。根据第三段Jeff Keith ran across the United States from the east to the west. He started running in Boston.可知波斯顿在东部。所以选D。
（3）B数字计算题。根据第三段Seven months later, he stopped running in Los Angeles. He ran 3, 200 miles.7个月应该是半年多，三十个周左右，两百多天。故选B。
（4）C词义猜测。根据 Jeff is disabled, but he can do many things. 杰夫是残疾的，但是他能做很多事情。结合上文他没有右腿，不难猜出disabled意思为"残疾的”。
