23、“You’ll be blind by the time you’re twenty-five,” a doctor at Children’s Hospital predicted. “Your blood sugars are much too high.” It consumed me. No mater where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.
I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.
When I was 2l years old, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after I was 25, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.
Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired (视力受损).I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program as a turning point.
“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind.” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” It’s amazing! Hope went up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and PowerPoint,” my instructor added.
For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

24、 After releasing a short video on April 27 about planting and cooking peas, Chinese food blogger Li Ziqi witnessed her followers on YouTube go beyond 10 million.
This puts Li, who shot to fame with short videos recording her traditional and peaceful lifestyle in China’s countryside, among the ranks of the most popular Chinese-language content creators on the platform.
“It’s really surprising. I didn’t expect such a wide response,” Li told Xinhua in an interview, noting she was surprised by how foreign fans were taken with her works. “What I present is just a lifestyle I’ve long followed and appreciated,” she said. “Maybe it’s also what many other people have valued.”
Li’s YouTube videos center on her life with her grandmother in the rural parts of Sichuan Province. In the videos, Li, often dressed in graceful traditional dresses, rises at sunrise, rests at sunset, plants seeds and harvests flowers, cooks Chinese dishes and crafts bamboo furniture. Unlike many other food bloggers, Li’s videos set China’s countryside as the stage and start with how the foods are planted and harvested on the farm. She rarely speaks in the process.
Li’s overseas followers have praised her videos for showing the amazingly charming, simple and beautiful side of China’s rural life, but back home, there have long been debates on whether her presentation is unrealistically poetic.
In response, Li, who was raised in the countryside, said she never needs special arrangements when shooting a video about rural life as “everything is in my mind.” “In the countryside, planting flowers, vegetables and trees is not difficult. There are tough elements of rural life of course, but I didn’t put them in my videos,” Li said. “Most people today are facing much stress in work and life, so I hope they can feel relieved and relaxed when watching my videos.”
【1】How did Li Ziqi react to her overnight success as a blogger?
A．She was overjoyed and proud of it.
B．She was unprepared for it but calm.
C．She didn’t care about it at all.
D．She was totally confused.
【2】Why are there debates over Li’s videos?
A．Li’s videos are too idealistic to be true.
B．Some Chinese fans doubt whether they are realistic.
C．Cultural differences exist between West and East.
D．China’s rural life is much tougher than presented by Li.
【3】Why are these videos made according to Li Ziqi?
A．To teach others how to enjoy 1life.
B．To introduce China’s rural life to the world.
C．To help to free her viewers from pressure.
D．To share her lifestyle with others.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Improved Rural Life in China
B．Global Credit for China’s Peaceful Lifestyle
C．How to Live a Stress-free Life
D．Chinese Blogger Catches the Eye of the World

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One Thursday in April, I was awakened by the noise of my parents talking and making breakfast. My old brother and sister were running around, trying to put their things together for school.
I put on the new skirt I had bought over the weekend while thinking about how I was going to make my day perfect. Then my mom offered to walk me to school instead of my dad driving me. She said she wanted to walk for exercise, so I thought it would be fine. Although my dad said he wanted to drive me, my mom and I both agreed to walk.
As we were walking down the hill to my school, we chatted about interesting things in my wonderful school life, our family’s next vacation, and so on. We felt so relaxed and excited. Holding hands, we crossed the crosswalk to get to my school, and that was when a bad thing happened. A car lost control and came fast towards us. Just at that moment, my mom tried to save me using all of her strength. She made it. She pushed me out of the way.
But when I turned around, I saw my mom flying through the air. For me, everything was in slow motion. Finally , my mom hit her head , and it started to bleed. I shouted and cried uncontrollably while some people called my dad and the police. Soon, I saw my dad rushing down the street in his car with the most scared look on his face.
He and I followed the ambulance to the hospital. While we waited in the waiting room, I was clear that my happy family suddenly had a terrible change. I felt like this couldn’t be happening to me. I was shocked, frightened, hopeless and helpless. I was so worried about my mom. I just hoped she could survive the accident. When the nurse finally came to us, I was scared of what I was going to see.
