高二英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
We always knew our daughter Kendall was going to be a performer of some sort. 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.”
1.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
2.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.
3.Kendall can be best described as ________.
A. Ambitious and sympathetic. B. gentle and hardworking.
C. Strong-willed and gifted. D. Emotional and fragile.
4.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.
