It is 2026 now. Emily and Olivia are sisters. What started as a simple idea between them has become a touching story of love and courage.

15 years ago, Emily’s life changed suddenly. She became paralyzed (瘫痪) from the neck down. Doctors could not cure her. Because her spinal cord (脊髓) was badly damaged, Emily could not use her hands. It was a big challenge for her, but she never gave up. In 2022, Emily found a new way to express herself: she taught herself to paint only with her mouth. Olivia wanted to support her sister, and since Emily did not like painting on paper, Olivia had a good idea.

Olivia decided to learn pottery so that Emily could paint on the pottery instead of paper. Soon, Olivia started making pottery pieces, and Emily decorated them with her paintings. Their creative work got much attention online, and videos of their process and artwork spread on social media. They have a social media page called “Wheely Good Ceramics”. “Wheely” is a funny name because Emily uses a wheelchair, and it sounds like “really”.

1.1.When did Emily become paralyzed?

A In 2011.

B In 2020.

C In 2015.

D In 2022.

解析：选A。A 数字计算题。文章开头提到“It is 2026 now”，紧接着说“15 years ago, Emily’s life changed suddenly. She became paralyzed...”。由2026年向前推15年，即可得出Emily瘫痪的时间是2011年。其他选项在文中没有对应的时间信息，因此A为正确答案。故选A。

2.2. Why did Olivia learn to make pottery?

A To sell it for money.

B To help Emily paint.

C To become an artist.

D To work with paper.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。文中明确写道“Olivia decided to learn pottery so that Emily could paint on the pottery instead of paper.”，说明Olivia学习陶艺的目的是为了让妹妹Emily能在陶器上作画，这是对妹妹的支持。其他选项（卖钱、成为艺术家、与纸相关）文中均未提及，因此B正确。故选B。

3.3. Why is the page named “Wheely Good Ceramics”?

A They sell wheels online.

B Emily uses a wheelchair.

C Pottery looks like wheels.

D They make wheels for art.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。文章最后一段解释了名字的由来：“‘Wheely’ is a funny name because Emily uses a wheelchair, and it sounds like ‘really’.” 可见名字中的“Wheely”来源于Emily使用的轮椅（wheelchair），同时与“really”谐音，体现出幽默感。其他选项与文章内容不符，因此B正确。故选B。

4.4. What lesson can we learn from the story?

A Sisters never argue.

B Art makes people rich.

C Hard work brings luck.

D Love beats difficulties.

解析：选D。D推理判断题。文章最后一段总结道：“Their story tells us that even when life is hard and unexpected, we can still find something meaningful. And with the family’s support, we can turn hardship into something beautiful.” 这正是在说明，尽管Emily遭遇了重大困难，但在妹妹的支持与陪伴下，她们共同创造了美好的艺术作品。因此，故事传递的核心道理是“爱能战胜困难”。其他选项中，A、B、C均未在文中体现或与主旨无关，故D为正确答案。
