网考网参考答案：D
网考网解析：
结合上下文，我们捕捉到解题词“too”与“defect”。上文讲David的妈妈“had trouble walking”，下句又告诉我们David有语言障碍，这说明他自己也有麻烦，因此选择D)项。A)与C)项不合语意；B)项的错误在于：speech defect只是一种缺陷，并不是一种疾病，为此不能用disease来形容。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
