On the night of August 24, 2001, my last night of freedom before I started my high school, everything changed
when my friend’s car hit a guardrail (护栏) with me inside. I lost most of my right leg. At the hospital, I just kept
telling myself to hold on. Weeks later I made a deal with the hospital workers that as long as I could roll onto my
side, I could be discharged (出院). I am proud to say that just one short week later, I was going home. The day I left
the hospital, I made a promise to myself to never give up and to always live life to the fullest.
In February of 2013, my life was forever changed when I attended the Executive Assistant Organization’s Behind
Every Leader event. During the meeting, a sweet lady by the name of Alisson Frew dared to ask me why I did not
wear a prosthesis (假肢). My short and simple answer was, “I don’t have sixty thousand dollars.” The next morning, I
was in tears as I learned that Alisson, Jeff Hoffma, founder of Priceline, and some other people, had bought a prosthesis
for me. From the first step, it was apparent to me just how much this would mean to me.
For a year I adjusted (适应) to the leg and settled into everyday life, until one day I realized I was making a life
but not living one. After almost 13 years of thinking that I was confident, I had an unfamiliar feeling sweeping over
me. For the first time in my life, I was not confident but I was empowered! I desired to help those around me, to have
them feel confident about themselves.
In April of 2014, I started modeling. My dream is that one day a little girl will see me on a poster at her favourite
clothing store and say, “Wow, she is amazing, and she only has one leg. I could do that too someday, even though I
have a disability.”
27. Why was the author’s life changed forever in 2013?

(C)
The location of an emergency is the most important piece of information in any 911 call. But many people in
emergency may not be able to tell operators (接线员) which floor they’re on in a high-rise building. There are a lot
of reasons for this. They could be injured or simply confused. Yet precious minutes are wasted when emergency
personnel or rescue workers have to search a building to find a person in need. With a new app called Sensory, the
call taker, the first person to answer a 911 call, soon may be able to use a caller’s smartphone to locate (定位) the
person’s exact position in a building.
Columbia University researchers William Falcon and Henning Schulzrinne used a two-step process to create
Sensory. First, they used all existing smartphone features to narrow down a caller’s location. All iPhones, which were
produced after 2014, already include GPS and altimeter (高度表). They can help call takers to decide if a person is
outdoors or inside a building. But when it comes to tall buildings, just knowing a person’s altitude (海拔高度) may
not be enough, because the distance (距离) between floors changes from one building to another.
So Falcon and Schulzrinne analysed the plans of finding out the average distance between floors in residential
buildings (居民楼) and office buildings among more than 1,000 buildings in New York City. They tested their app in
63 experiments in five high-rise buildings and found that it could find a caller’s location within two floors with
about a 91 percent accuracy (准确度).
In a survey conducted by Find Me 911 this year, dispatchers, who are responsible for sending out people or
vehicles to where they are needed, said they always received calls from people in need and they often couldn’t share
their location. They sometimes accidentally give the wrong address or floor number. Some callers are too young to
know their address. Dispatchers also received calls from those who are deaf or have hearing problems and they often
couldn’t hear the operator’s questions.
The new Sensory app could help cut down the precious time it takes first responders to get to the people in need.
And it could make the difference between life and death.

30. The new app Sensory can be used to ________.
A. provide emergency measures quickly
B. speed the connection to 911 simply
C. locate emergency callers correctly
D. improve the function of smartphones completely
31. What does Paragraph 4 really want to tell us?
A. The reasons for failing to get exact location.
B. The basic information about emergencies.
C. The potential danger of failing to rescue.
D. The different kinds of emergency callers.
32. What is the author’s attitude to the new app?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Opposed.
(D)
After years of shocking images of huge fields filled with abandoned (被遗弃的) tents and rubbish in the aftermath (
结束后的时期) of music festivals, it was encouraging to hear Glastonbury Festival organizers say that 99％ of
festival-goers’ tents were picked up after the festival. This is a huge achievement. But really it should be normal.
There is a popular belief that most tents left behind after festivals are collected and sold by charities or sent to
good causes. But this is only wishful thinking: most of them end up in landfills (填埋). The cost for festival organizers
and charities of collecting thousands of tents is just too high. All the parts of the tents—pegs, poles, sheets, and bags—
need to be present, undamaged, and the tents clean and functional to be reused.
After a festival, organizers of festival typically flatten those standing tents. This makes it even more back-
breaking to identify (识别) the tents that are reusable in a field full of them. It’s also likely they’ll be damaged in
the process.
According to research, making a typical tent creates as much as 25kg of CO , and costs the equivalent (等量) of anrdo u
2
8,750 plastic straws (塑料管) or 250 plastic cups. This is about the same amount of CO produced by a car driving
2
100 miles. Today, tents can be made out of green materials such as cardboard. But these products are sometimes quite
heavy and expensive.
Many festivals sell tents for £20 or less—hardly a high price—especially when seen against the price of tickets
in the UK which are often around £200. The images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the

environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are a symbol of our throwaway culture—just as images of clean
fields at Glastonbury are a refreshing symbol of hope for what could be. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but
footprints.
33. What is a common misunderstanding of tents in the UK?
A. They are a must for most festival-goers.
B. They do harm to people’s health.
C. They are reused after festival.
D. They make the festival experience enjoyable.
34. What does the underlined word “back-breaking” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Important. B. Dangerous. C. Difficult. D. Necessary.
35. What can we learn from the numbers in the 4th paragraph?
A. Tents take a great deal of energy to make.
B. There is an increased demand for tents worldwide.
C. Carboard tents win popularity with festival-goers.
D. Tents are much cheaper than festival tickets in the UK.
36. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to ________.
A. introduce popular music festival in the UK
B. invite people to enjoy music festival in the UK
C. stress the importance of festival in cultural life
D. call on people to protect the environment during festivals

When Arsh was a young boy, his parents, Divya Pal and Sanjeev, signed him up for after-school activities such
as piano, karate (空手道) and gymnastics, but he preferred art. When Arsh turned 8, he received a watercolor paint
set as a birthday gift. He spent all his spare time painting. That’s how he started painting.
Around the same time, Arsh often visited a local nursing home, where his mother works. Spending time there
inspired him to start selling his art for a good cause. “I want to help people in need through my paintings,” he said.

So he started his fundraising program,which he called “Art by Arsh.” He sells his paintings at local art shows,
restaurants and libraries, as well as on his Instagram account and Facebook page. He donated his first $1,000 to St.
Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2018, and has since reached various other charities.
Arsh, now 12, mostly makes commissioned (委托创作的) pieces, and several of his customers have come back
wanting more. That includes his neighbor, Jolene Schaver, who has five of Arsh’s creations hanging in her home and
has bought many more for friends and family. “I was amazed at how talented he was at such a young age, without
any formal training,” said Schaver.
Along with selling his paintings to benefit nonprofit organizations, Arsh now also teaches art lessons at the local
nursing home. And he thought about accessibility (易得到), and realized not all people have the resources (资源) to
make art—which has the ability to comfort and heal (治愈). “One of my goals is to make art accessible for kids who
want to express themselves,” Arsh said. He offered free art lessons to local children to achieve his goal. He hopes to
expand (扩展) his classes further in the future.
