【16题详解】

句意：当她只有三岁的时候，她就为人们唱歌，就像是一个小天使一样。

考查动词辨析及语境。danced跳舞；sang唱歌；jumped跳；painted画画。根据下文_____3_____ the treatment, Kendall continued to sing. Surprisingly, her tics disappeared when she sang.可知，Kendall喜欢唱歌，故应选B。【17题详解】

句意：当Kendall五岁的时候，我们注意到她有时候面部会抽搐。

考查副词辨析及语境。never从不；sometimes有时候；seldom很少；always总是。根据下文When the problem got worse,…Surprisingly, her tics disappeared when she sang.可知，Kendall在唱歌的时候，就不会抽搐，所以Kendall的面部抽搐一开始并不严重，只是“有时候会抽搐”，故选B。

【18题详解】

句意：治疗期间，Kendall继续唱歌。

考查介词辨析及语境。During在…期间；Before在…之前；After在…之后；Until直到…时候。根据句意可知，作者带女儿去看医生，空后说Kendall继续唱歌，因此应该是在医生给她进行治疗的期间，故应选A。【19题详解】
