The 7yearold boy was seriously disabled because
12、of his autism (孤独症). Unable to speak, he withdrew from people at school and, worse, from his family.In March 2003, Miller was introduced to Jeff Hancock, a oneonone therapist (治疗师) for people with autism. Hancock was hired to be Johns companion. The two would go peoplewatching at the mall on the wee
13、kends. Hancock chatted throughout their trips, even though John couldnt talk back. Their relationship developed when Hancock introduced John to the Special Olympics. Whenever John was running or being active, he was smiling. When John turned 12, Hancock introduced him to track at the Special Olympic
14、s. For the first three years, the pair just observed the sport by watching practices and events. Hancock worked daily with John, showing him everything, including where to sit, stand and walk, so he would understand the flow of the events. Eventually, the lessons clicked, and John was off doing 50me
15、ter sprints. But as John got older, he got stronger and faster. At 16, he was jumping hurdles and doing 800meter races. Miller started seeing her son as a serious athlete.In May 2014, Johns training brought him to the Special Olympics State Summer Games in Orlando. The 18yearold boy was competing in
16、 the 800 meters and the 110meter hurdles. As the 800 was setting up, Miller remembered, she pressed her face against the fence, anxiously waiting for John to compete. But as soon as the race started, all Miller saw was an athlete, her athlete. “I just wanted to see the best performance. It seemed mu
17、ch more significant than whether he would ever speak or respond to me，” she said. John ended up winning the gold medal for the 800. Sports completely changed John, and Miller said that was because of Hancock. “A person with a disability can feel hopeless and isolated, and I think that can happen to
18、parents, too.”1The first paragraph mainly tells us _.Ahow Rachel Miller felt 12 years agoBhow serious Johns autism wasCJohn wasnt good at communicationDwhen John became seriously disabled2Miller considered John to be a serious athlete _.Ain 2011 Bin 2012Cin 2013 Din 20143When Miller saw Johns perfor

The Chinese artist Cai Guoqiang, though, has developed a way to harness the visual and
20、 physical power of fireworks to make art. He recently used them to create a burning sculpture that stretched high into the sky. Guoqiang fittingly named the work Sky Ladder.Guoqiang built Sky Ladder by making a frame out of metal. He coated the frame with gunpowder, the main chemical material in fir
21、eworks.The artist tried one end of the frame to the ground and attached a large weather balloon to the other end. The balloon was filled with heliuma gas that is lighter than air. When released, the balloon floated upward, pulling the top of the ladder 500 meters into the sky. Thats higher than the
22、top of the Empire State Building. Guoqiang set fire to the bottom of the ladder, and the crackling (啪啪作响) flames raced skyward up the frame. The sculpture burned for two and a half minutes before its flames began to die out from the bottom up. Dealing with explosive (炸药) is challenging, and conditio
23、ns have to be perfect for Guoqiang to achieve his desired effect. He first attempted Sky Ladder in 1994, but bad weather prevented him from successfully completing the work. Guoqiang put Sky Ladder aside so that he could work on other projects, perhaps most famously the fireworks display that opened
24、 the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Finally, after two more failed attempts, Guoqiang successfully sent his flaming ladder skyward in 2015. He presented Sky Ladder in his hometown, a quiet fishing village near Huiyu Island, Quanzhou. He offered the work as a gift to his 100yearold grandmother, other fa
25、mily members, his friends and his town. “Behind Sky Ladder lies a clear childhood dream of mine，” Guoqiang explains. “Despite all lifes twists and turns, I have always been determined to realize it. The ladder rose toward the morning sun, carrying hope. For me, this not only means a return, but also
26、 the start of a new journey.”5Which of the following can replace the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 1?AControl and use. BFind and collect.CSave and develop. DCount and produce.6What can we learn about the work Sky Ladder Cai Guoqiang built in 2015?AIt proved to be a failure.BIt could fly fre
