She entertained people in our small town by putting on shows on our front porch when she was only three or four. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed, and beautiful, she sang like a little angel.‎ When Kendall was five, we began to notice that she was blinking a lot and clearing her throat frequently. We took her to our local children’s hospital where she was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome.‎ It was pretty devastating（毁灭性的）because other children constantly made fun of her, and sadly, even a teacher teased her. Through all this, Kendall continued to sing and entertain. Remarkably, her tics disappeared when she sang.‎ In 2005 when Kendall was sixteen, we thought she was pretty much out of the woods -- or at least heading in that direction. However, a freak accident happened.‎ At a birthday party, Kendall hopped on a friend for a piggyback ride. Kendall flew over his back and landed on the cement floor -- on her neck. An ambulance rushed her to the hospital where she spent the next week, paralyzed from the neck down. Ironically, her biggest concern wasn’t whether she would walk again, but whether she would be able to audition（试唱）for American Idol.‎ Doctors said Kendall had central cord syndrome. Sometimes the pain was so unbearable that she had to bite down on a toothbrush to take her mind off it. As the days dragged on, we didn’t know for sure how much of her movement would ever come back.‎ I believe Kendall wanted the American Idol audition so much that she willed herself to move again. One of her friends brought a microphone to the hospital and put it on her bed. Every day, Kendall tried hard to pick it up with her right hand. It was more important for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork.‎ Sometimes we all cried because of the pain we witnessed. But on the day Kendall walked into the stadium to audition for American Idol – a mere three months after her accident -- we cried tears of joy. And our tears turned into shouts when she was given a golden ticket to Hollywood.‎ Kendall is eighteen now, living every day to its fullest. She’s recorded a CD with some of John Mellencamp’s band members. I’m absolutely sure she’s going to make it big some day. Kendall just puts it all in God’s hands.‎ When she was a little girl trying hard to be strong, she looked up at me, her big eyes brimming with tears, and asked me why she had to have Tourette’s Syndrome. My heart ached to make the word right for my child. But I looked right back at her and told her the truth as I see it.‎ ‎“Kendall, God gave you a pure heart, an angelic voice, a strong mind, and a beautiful presence. With all of that, he had to make it fair for everyone else.”‎ ‎24. What does the underlined sentence “she was pretty much out of the woods” mean?‎ A. She was out of the forest. B. She was almost free her difficulties.‎ C. She was successful in singing. D. She was going home form hospital ‎25. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Kendall was well taken care of in the school.‎ B. Kendall felt desperate when she was paralyzed in bed.‎ C. Kendall achieved great success despite all the sufferings.‎ D. Kendall felt unfair for all the misfortunes.‎ ‎26. Kendall can be best described as ________.‎ A. Ambitious and sympathetic. B. gentle and hardworking.‎ C. Strong-willed and gifted. D. Emotional and fragile.‎ ‎27. What can be inferred from what her parents said in the last paragraph?‎ A. Her parents tried to hide the truth to comfort her.‎ B. Her parents encouraged her to face up to all brilliant and beautiful daughter.‎ C. Her parents were grateful for having such a brilliant and beautiful daughter.‎ D. Her parents felt all the sufferings worthwhile.‎ C We’ve all experienced that feeling that comes when your phone makes a sound to tell you that its battery level is low. It often comes at the worst times – when you’re out on a trip and don’t have a charger, or when you’re expecting an important phone call.‎ Indeed, this feeling is so common that South Korean electronics manufacturer LG has given it a name: low battery anxiety.‎ According to a survey of 2,000 US adults conducted by the company last year, 90 percent of respondents said that they panic if their battery level reaches 20 percent or lower.‎ And last month, UK telecommunications service provider 02 found that around 15.5 million Britons live in “constant fear” of their mobile phones running out of power, according to a survey by the company.‎ ‎“The problem is not about being unable to make calls, but is rooted in the fact that smartphones are now where we store digital memories,” noted the Daily Mail.‎ However, battery worries don’t just affect smartphone lovers. Many owners of electric vehicles also suffer from so-called “range anxiety”. This refers to the concern that the vehicle may not make it to its destination before the power runs out.‎ Meanwhile, it isn’t just low power that people worry about. A study carried out by South Korea’s Sungkyunkwan University and China’s City University of Hong Kong found that many of us also worry about not having constant access to our phone.‎ This condition is known as nomophobia, short for “no mobile phone phobia（恐惧症）”. Symptoms include feeling uncomfortable when access to one’s phone isn’t possible, being unable to turn off your phone, and constantly topping up the battery ‎ to make sure it never dies.‎ So, why do so many people treat their smartphone with such importance? The underlying reason may be that they keep us connected to the people around us, and if we’re unable to use our phone, we feel like we’re cut off from our social life.‎ With products with bigger batteries being released all the time though - such as Xiaomi’s Mi Max smartphone range or Tesla’s Model S cars – battery anxiety may hopefully soon be a thing of the past.‎ ‎28. The major reason for people’s “low battery anxiety” lies in ________.‎ A. They cannot afford to miss important calls.‎ B. They may lose contact with their friends when they’re out on a trip.‎ C. The charger is not available when needed.‎ D. They have no access to the digital memories stored in the phone.‎ ‎29. The following conditions indicate that you are likely to experience “nomophobia” EXCEPT that ________.‎ A. you attach great importance to connecting with the outside world B. you find yourself searching for your phone when it is not at hand C. you constantly charge your phone to almost full D. you always keep your phone on ‎30. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. All of the respondents do not panic when their battery level is lower than 20%.‎ B. People who experience “range anxiety” worry about the quality of their car.‎ C. People value their phone because they want to participate in more social activities.‎ D. All these problems will be solved if products with bigger batteries are released.‎ ‎31. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the solution to low battery anxiety?‎ A. Unconcerned. B. Skeptical. C. Positive. D. Disapproving.‎ D The 90-minute documentary, Amazing China, which is co-produced by China Central Television and China Film Corp, opened in theaters nationwide on Friday.‎ The film focuses on the major achievements the country has made since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012 under Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era（时代）.‎ The documentary focuses on key Chinese infrastructure（基础设施）projects in aerospace, high-speed rail, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the world’s largest single-dish telescope FAST.‎ The documentary also informs viewers that seven of the world’s 10 biggest sea ports are now in China. And that the country now has the longest high-speed rail network in the world.‎ Speaking of the significance of the new documentary for the Chinese, La Peikang, the head of China Film Corp, says: “It’s not only about showing the achievements, but presenting the status quo of China.‎ ‎“The film will help people to know our country better. The moving stories behind the Chinese miracles reflect the people’s endeavors and spirit.”‎ A good documentary is usually a vivid portrayal（描绘）of individual stories rather than slogans, and Amazing China is no exception.‎ One of the most touching moments in the film is probably footage from an interview of Nan Rendong, often called the “father of FAST”.‎ Amazing China also focuses on common people.‎ In the film, you see a young Tibetan woman volunteering in rural areas to help people poverty.‎ The movie shows that their work is not easy, but their spirit and unwavering belief make it possible to achieve their targets. And, they are just representative of the many Chinese who work as hard.‎ China is the world’s second-largest economy. But the country still faces “the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life”, as stated in the CPC’s 19th National Congress in November. However, as this cinematic production proves, the documentary is a good way for country to boost self-confidence and to aspire for a brighter future.‎ ‎32. The underlined words “the status quo” most probably mean ________.‎ A. the cultural differences B. the existing state C. the national strengths D. the economic development ‎33. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ A. The documentary is to be filmed in the near future.‎ B. The documentary is intended for foreigners.‎ C. The documentary focuses on common people more.‎ D. The documentary unfolds through presenting individual stories.‎ ‎34. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?‎ A. A story of common people B. Remarkable Achievements C. A New Era of China D. A powerful Country ‎35. Where can you possibly read this passage?‎ A. A government report. B. A brochure.‎ C. An academic journal D. Newspaper.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A great life doesn’t happen by accident.

Their disabilities make them live a hard life. In general, they are still a disadvantaged social group, who suffer discriminations in work, education, transportation, etc. To some extent, disability is often defined as something tragic. However, disabled people are an important part in our society, so it’s our duty to lend a helping hand to them.‎ First of all, we should pass major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class to ensure their rights in place. Additionally, we should make public places readily accessible to disabled people to guarantee that they can fully integrate into our social life. Last but not least, we should foster public awareness to show respect and consideration for the disabled.‎ In brief, society needs to make combined efforts to help disabled people live their lives to the fullest within the “abled-bodied” world. Your small step towards this target can really make a big difference!‎
