He has successfully climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Africa, and most importantly, he's changed the attitude of any normal person who watches him compete.The 17-year-old teenager has one leg. He was born that way, but his goal is to show it's not the one thing that defines him. He would also be the first one to tell you that he just wants to prove to others and himself that he's just like other normal ones.When Calabria was young, his parents tried different prostheses(假肢)to find out which was most comfortable for their son as he tried to keep up with a family, who has a preference for sports.At first, the Calabrias had their middle child in a prosthesis that looked and functioned like a “real” leg, but soon they decided to choose a different path when they found it wasn't beneficial to his movement. Then the family moved him to arm crutches(手杖) and from there a new burst of energy was found.Getting others to believe that he could take off on the soccer field took a little bit longer. When the Calabrias moved to Concord, they had a hard time convincing (使……确信) the town soccer program to allow a child like him to compete with able-bodied kids. After months and months of debates and meetings, the family received the answer they were looking for. Since then, witnessing a young man on crutches who competes against those with two legs has become a fixed event in the Concord community.“At that time I had nothing but discouragement working with the soccer community, however, now I have nothing but admiration for the fact that he's been allowed to play, and people see that he adds value to game，” his father said, “I just think it's a great result.”25．This passage shows us a boy with one leg ________.A. can do what a normal teenager canB. is realizing as many dreams as he canC. can make a sport event more valuableD. can add value to society26．We can learn from Paragraph 5 that ________.A. Calabria proved to be the most excellent player of the teamB. it was not easy for Calabria to be accepted to the town's soccer teamC. Calabria's parents didn't allow him to play soccer at firstD. there are some other disabled children in the soccer team27．In Paragraph 5, the underlined part “a fixed event” probably means “________”.A. a must-seeB. a planned programC. an extra gameD. a special occasion28．It is implied in the last paragraph that Nicolai's father ________.A. has been discouraged since Nicolai played soccerB. thinks that Nicolai is playing a key role in the teamC. is very delighted that Nicolai can play soccer in the teamD. hasn't expected that Nicolai can be allowed to play soccerCDo You Want To Change the Future of Education?Our goal is to give a world-class education to everyone, everywhere, regardless of gender, income or social status.Today, , a not-for-profit website, provides hundreds of thousands of people from around the globe with access to free education.

Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal（撤退，收回） of the fuel subsidy（津贴，补贴） by the government, their main complaint wasthe loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whetherit will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring appprovider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.Such rules will cause a setback(后退，逆流) to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize（使……结束） its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.Every link in this business model chain has legal（合法的） companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.32．Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?A. Because they wanted the government to increase their driving allowances.B. Because they wanted to be educated how to use the taxi-hiring apps.C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the government.D. Because they wanted to call on passengers not to hire the private cars.33．The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclear 34．Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A. The problem referred to in the passage exists in all cities.B. App-based car rental is helpful to some degree.C. The government should regulate the app-based car rental market.D. Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company.35．From the passage we learn ___________.A. Shenyang banned apps-based car rental companiesB. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi ZhuancheC. some international investment companies have faith in the future of apps-based carrental companiesD. it is easy to describe the apps-based car rental companies illegal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。
