一、阅读理解（本大题共 10 小题，共 25.0 分）

After the movie ended． two ladies in their 80s were invited on stage． One of the women， who

was sitting in a wheelchair， couldn't hold back her tears as she spoke in front of the audience．

The other woman， leaned in and brush away her tears． The entire theater fell quiet for a while as

the two held each other， then slowly the applause began to build until it became a thunderous

roar．

About Chinese composer Xian Xinghai， the film is the first coproduction between studios in China

and Kazakhstan． The woman in the wheelchair was Kazakh musician Bakhytzhan Baikadamov's

niece Kalamkas Arislanova． while the woman at her side was Xian's daughter Xian Nina．

Xian Xinghai was the first Chinese student admitted to the Paris Music Conservatory． A household

name in China， he is best known for his Yellow River Cantata， a patriotic（爱国的）work that

inspired numerous Chinese during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression （1931-

45）． Even though most Chinese people know Xian as one of the greatest musicians in the

country． few know that during the early 1940s， the last few years of his life， he got stuck in

Kazakhstan while trying to return to China from Russia．

The choice to make the film was inspired by Chinese President Xi Jinping's speech at Kazakhstan's

Nazarbayev University in 2013， according to Shen Jian， executive producer of the film and the

CEO of Shine work Pictures， the studio behind the film． During his speech， Xi said that at a

time when Xian had no family and was struggling with poverty and sickness， Kazakh musician

Bakhytzhan Baikadamov gave him a family．

Throughout his time in Kazakhstan， Baikadamov's niece Kalamkas Arislanova was like a daughter

to him． However， when Xian left China， Nina was only 8 months old． Due to the war， the

musician was never able to return to his motherland before he died in 1945．

Shen told Global Times that the Nina and Arislanova were very excited about the film as it enabled

them to reunite with Xian through the big screen． Nina noted that the film is particularly significant

for her， as most films about Xian have focused on describing him as a great musician， while this

one is about him as her father．

As shown in the movie， Xian was able to concentrate on music with the generous help of

Baikadamov and his family． Inspired by the Kazakh people， Xian created many works during his

time in Kazakhstan．

American Anai Espinoza is in the eighth grade． This summer， she took part in a summer dance

program called AileyCamp． Each morning， she and other campers would say several phrases

together． Her favorite is this： "I am in control． " Espinoza said， "It makes me believe I have

the power to choose the right thing．"

AileyCamp was created in 1989 in Kansas City， Missouri by world-famous dancer and director

Alvin Ailey． About 1，000 students in 10 U． S． states take part in AileyCamp every year． It

is a free， six-week program， especially aimed at young people in financial need or who have

school， social or family difficulties．

In addition to dance， the camp introduces students to visual arts， creative writing and other

communication skills， It also teaches them how to eat well， solve conflicts and become leaders，

notes the camp's website． Dianne Caroll Sales directs the AileyCamp in Atlanta， Georgia．

When the camp is over， the city's professional ballet company offers 10 students a full-tuition

scholarship for a year of training． The scholarship can be renewed．

Kameron Davis received one of those scholarships when he was a young man． He trained with the

Atlanta Ballet for three years． Then he became a dance teacher． Davis said he does not think his

mother could have paid for dance classes without the scholarship． Davis said children at school

made fun of him when he began dancing． AileyCamp， he said， offered him a safe place and

increased his confidence． Today， he enjoys giving back to the program by helping new campers

build their confidence， too． "It's an open door to finding new things， doing new things，"

Everybody is different． You shouldn't be judged by what you do just because not a lot of people do

it． '"

When one of your car tires goes flat． there are two things you can do， you can complain and

change it or， if you don't have a spare， stand helplessly beside the road and hope someone comes

to your rescue． Now comes a third choice， called Quickwheel． It is designed to get disabled

motorists rolling again as quickly as possible．

Quickwheel is basically a tiny emergency trailer-complete with three tough little wheels of its own-

that supports the flat tire and enables the motorists to drive to a service station without losing much

lime or expending much energy． The product is made in the US Company， Quickwheel Inc． of

Greenwich， Connecticut． According to the firm's president， Robert Bockweg， the product

meets each of the major worries that customers relate with flat tires： safe， lost time and physical

labor．

To use it． motorists simply unfold the product to its fully extended position， set it in front of the

disabled lire， drive the car onto the Quickwheel's ramp （斜板）and fix a special safety strap over

the tire． The tire is then locked in Quickwheel s metal frame． Its three wheels do the rest of the

work． According to Quickwheel Inc． its product can be driven "for miles" at the speed of up to

45 miles per hour "without any noticeable change in the vehicle's braking or steering

operation"．The company also says that it can be used on just about any type of car， jeep， mini-

van or trailer （拖车）．

Bockweg says that Quickwheel will be sold first in the United States， at a price of 150 dollars．

Sales agreements now being talked over should make the product ready for use in Japan， Canada

and Western Europe in the near future．
