  Being blind is hard. But things were even harder for those disabled kids who were born in a small village in India, where most people thought that kids with disabilities were useless. Srikanth Bolla was one of them. Luckily, Srikanth’s parents loved their son and refused to give in to social pressure. They encouraged the blind boy to reach for the stars.

  Srikanth didn’t disappoint his parents. The 24-year-old young man is the founder and CEO of Bollant industries, a successful company that makes environmentally friendly packaging.

  Of course, getting here wasn’t easy. As a young boy, Srikanth went to a regular school. But the students and teachers there didn’t accept his disability. As a result, the young boy often was largely ignored.

  Worried about Srikanth’s study, his paren ts finally sent him to a special needs school. The young boy soon rose to the top of his class, but he was not allowed to study sciences, because it was believed too dangerous for a blind student. This was a big setback since it meant that he couldn’t take the entrance exams for any of India’s top engineering colleges to realize his dream.

  Not one to give up, Srikanth managed to study in the University of Cambridge in the UK. After graduating with a degree in computer science and business management, Srikanth decided to reture to India and devoted himself to helping the country’s disabled people.

  In 2012 , he built Bollant Industries. In just four years, Bollant Industries has become a success with over 450 workers, 70% of whom are physically disabled.

  Srikanth attributes (把…归于) his success to his parents .Though being poor and uneducated, they encouraged Srikanth to realize his dreams and taught him that true happiness comes from helping ot hers.

  24. Why do the disabled kids in the small village lead a difficult life?

  A. They are often looked down upon.

  B. They can do nothing for society.

  C. Their parents are too poor to support them.

  D. They have no chance to realize their dreams.[

  25. What happened to Srikanth in a regular school?

  A. He was the top of his class.

  B. He made no friends and felt lonely.

  C. He wasn’t allowed to learn science.

  D. He was encouraged to start his own business.

  26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “setback” in Paragraph 4?

  A. support B. difficulty C . fault D. chance

  27. How does Srikanth help the disabled people in India?

  A. He builds schools for them.

  B. He supports them to study aboard.

  C .He lets them manage his company.

  D. He provides job opportunities for them.

  More Americans expect to work past their 65th birthdays and never retire (退休), says a recent study. The Associated Press with NORC Center for Public Affairs Research questioned 1,075 people , who were aged 50 and older. One- fourth of them said they never planned to retire. That was even truer for low-income(收入) earners in that age group.

  In America, the age of 65 is the traditional age to retire. 60 percent of the people aged 50 to 64 said they expected to work past their 65th birthdays. More than half of those who were already older than 65 said they planned to keep working, too. They said they were working an average of 31 hours per week.

  Those 50 years of age or older said finances(财务) were the most important factor in the decision on when to retire. A majority (多数) of older workers—especially those who were 65 and older –planned to change employers or move into an entirely new job, as they headed into the later years.

  One – third of the people earning le ss than $ 50,000 a year said they would keep working. About 20 percent of those who earned more than $100,000 said they would never retire.

  As baby boomers –people born between 1946 and 1964 –reach the age of 65, the United States will have more older people than ever before. The number of Americans who were 65 years old and older jumped 21 percent—or to 35.5 million—between 2002 and 2012 . That number is expected to reach 92 million by 2060.

  28. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

  A. Americans were not sure when to retire.

  B. 1,075 people who were 50 took part in the study.

  C .High- income earners were not willing to work past 65.

  D. Low-income earners were more willing to continue working.

  29. Which of the following might affect Americans’ retirement age?

  A. Their decision . B. 31 working hours.

  C. The money that they make. D. The traditional age to retire.[

  30.What would happen in the career of most older workers?

  A. They would be paid less. B. They would change their jobs.

  C. They would earn more money. D. They would have a talk with employers.

  31. What is the best title of this text?

  A. America will have more older people.

  B. Older Americans have to work past 65.

  C . American people will have new jobs after 65.

  D. Older Americans maybe expect n ever to retire.

  D

  Our grandparents tell us stories of their years over and over again. Until finally we have heard them tell the stories so many times that we wonder why they keep on repeating these old times. Unconsciously(无意识的), this is the way our minds work to pass history on. There was a time when writing, reading , books, radio, TV and electronics of today were not present at all. Few things could be used to record and pass information on to the next generation. People would only sit around the campfire or the kitchen table, sharing stories of the past. This is called the “oral(口述的)tradition”.

  Children listened endlessly to families sharing stories of their youth. Memories are put in the minds of young people forever so they could later recall and tell them to their children and gran dchildren. Can you recall any of this? I can. How could life of the past be able to survive for centuries without this telling of stories and information to the listening ears of the youth?

  Just the other day, our Uncle Martin came to visit with his two kids. As we sat around the kitchen table sharing stories and family remembrances, Uncle Martin’s laughter filled the room .He recalled several times that he was lucky to have not been hit by the fal ling trees. Each person in the room listened and enjoyed his details and humor.

  We all can continue to share stories with our children, telling of those good old days. Children do listen and want to hear true, sincere, funny and scary tales dug up from the past and then they tell their friends. So oral tradition goes on and on.

  32.According to the text, how did people pass on messages in the past?

  A. By using electronics. B. By telling stories orally.

  C. By recording them in books. D. By reading books to the next generation.

  33. What will happen if the stories are repeated many times?

  A. They can make the children feel bored.

  B. They can make the children’s minds clear.

  C. They can improve the children’s creativity.

  D. They can give the children a deep impression.

  34. What will the children probably do after they liste n to the stories from the old?

  A. Dig up more stories in the past. B. Share them with their friends.

  C. Write them down carefully. D. Tell them to their parents.

  35. What may be the author’s attitude to oral tradition?

  A. He/She values it. B. He/She is against it.

  C. He/She thinks it’s outdated. D. He/She thinks it’s unreliable.

  第二节:根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。(每小题2.5分)

  Businessmen bought plenty of food, drinks, and souvenirs in preparation for the crowds of people. And Morrison sold tickets in advance. 38 They were happy with the thought of a circus in their own village.

  On the day the circus parade was to march down the main street, happiness turned into disappointment when nothing happened. F.Bam had slipped away (溜走) in the night with all the money he had raised. 39 The people of Wetumka had been fooled.

  It didn’t take long for their disappointment to turn into enjoyment, however, Someone came up with the idea of holding a four-day celebration. 40 They called their party The Sucker Festival.

  A

  Some places in the world have strange laws. It’s important for you to know about them before going there.

  Whoever likes to chew gum (口香糖) may have to leave Singapore. The government really wants to keep the city clean and will fine you for chewing gum.

  Before you leave for the United Arab Emirates you’d better make sure you aren’t visiting during Ramadan (斋月). During that time you aren’t allowed to eat or drink in public. Tourists have been fined up to $275 for drinking in public.

  Lovers spend so much time kissing each other goodbye at train stations that trains often start late. This law---no kissing your lover goodbye at train stations---is rather old, and isn’t in use today in France.

  In Thailand it’s against the law to drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt on, no matter how hot it is. Punishments are different in different areas and can include warnings and tickets costing about $10. No joke ---the local police will stop you.

  Studies in Denmark have shown that cars with their headlights on are more noticeable by other drivers than those with their headlights off. Drivers there are required to leave their headlights on even during the day, or they may face a fine up to $100.

  Do you often buy things using coins? Don’t do it in Canada. The Currency Law of 1985 doesn’t allow using only coins to buy things. Even the use of the dollar-coin is limited (受限制的). The shop owner has the right to choose whether to take your coins or not.

  Make sure you know about these laws before your next trip. Better safe than sorry.

  21. What is mainly talked about in the text?

  A. How to make your trip around the world safe.

  B. Some strange laws you should know about for your trip.

  A. the police will play a joke on you

  B. the police will give you tickets costing about $10

  C. you should wear your shirt even though it’s hot

  D. you should always keep your headlights on

  23. What can we learn from the text?

  A. You can turn your headlights off in daytime in Denmark.

  B. Kissing goodbye at train stations isn’t allowed in France today.

  C. Tourists in the United Arab Emirates shouldn’t eat in public.

  D. The Singaporean government cares a lot about its environment.

  A few days ago my wife sent me out to buy something. When I came hom e, I handed her a paper bag and said, “Here are the apples you wanted.” She looked in the bag, and then she looked at me. “I told you,” she said slowly, “to buy some eggs.”

  I felt worried about my absent-mindedness (心不在焉,健忘) , so I went to see a doctor. He was a very kind man. “I have seen many people like you. It’s nothing to worry about,” he said. “If you know you are absent-minded, you are all right. But if you do not know you’re absent-minded, you may be really in trouble.”

  “Many famous people were absent-minded,” the doctor told me. “Thomas Edison was standing in line one day to pay his taxes. When he arrived at the window, he found that he had forgotten his own name. He had to ask the man who was behind him to tell him who he was.”

  I felt much better and got up to leave. “Thank you, doctor,” I said. “How much do I have to pay you?”

  “Ten dollars for the check-up ,” the doctor said.

  “But doctor, I did not have a check-up!”

  For a moment the doctor looked puzzled. Then he said, “Oh, yes, it was the patient before you who had a check-up. How absent-minded I am!”

  24. It can be inferred (推断) from the first paragraph that when the author’s wife heard what her husband told her, she was ______.

  A. excited B. surprised C. sad D. proud

  25. The doctor took Edison’s story for example ______.

  A. to make fun of Edison

  B. because he liked telling stories

  C. to show absent-mindedness is common among people

  D. to make the author laugh

  26. According to the passage, who was/were absent-minded?

  A. Only the aut hor. B. The author and the doctor.

  C. The doctor alone. D. The author's wife.

  C

  They are the world's fittest people. But even Olympic athletes have had their share of difficult, heart-breaking or embarrassing (令人难堪的) moments.

  1904 Olympics, St Louis, USA

  American Fred Lorz crossed the finish line of the Olympic marathon (马拉松赛跑) with a time of 3 hours and 13 minutes. He had beaten the second runner by 15 minutes. Lorz looked happy and fresh, and smiled for the photographers. Just before they gave him the gold medal, the race officials arrived and took away the medal, and Lorz was banned (禁止) from races for a year. Then an official told the truth. He had travelled by car for 11 miles of the marathon!

  1908 Olympics, London, England

  The Italian Dorando Pietri was one of the unluckiest marathon runners. When he arrived in the stadium, he was very tired. The people were cheering, but Pietri couldn't continue. He fell down and got up again four times. Finally, around seven metres from the finish line, he fell down again and didn't move. Worried officials ran over and picked him up. He crossed the finish line and won the gold medal. But a few hours later the Olympic officials had to take it away from him again. They said he couldn't be the winner because Olympic officials had helped him cross the line.

  2000 Olympics, Sydney, Australia

  Eric Moussambani of Equatorial Guinea became one of the most loved athletes of the 2000 games. His race was the 100-metre freestyle swim. He jumped into the pool and started swimming. After the first 50 metres he was very tired. He went more and more slowly and almost stopped in the middle of the pool. The officials worried that he was drowning (淹死). But Moussambani continued and finished the race with a time of 1 minute and 52 seconds, the slowest in the history of the Olympics. Still, Moussambani was happy. He had never swum in a pool of that size before.

  21. Why was Lorz's gold medal taken away at the 1904 Olympics?

  A. Because he broke the rules.

  B. Because officials made a mistake.

  C. Because officials picked him up halfway.

  D. Because he beat the second runner badly.

  22. What happened to Pietri at the 1908 Olympics?

  A. He broke a world record.

  B. He finally won the gold medal.

  23. How did people look at Moussambani?

  France has the most beautiful castles throughout Europe. Here are some of the best French castles to visit. You'll surely want to visit one of them during your travels in France. Have a look and enjoy!

  Château de Versailles

  The Château de Versailles is about 20 kms southwest of Paris. When the castle was built, Versailles was a small village. Today, however, it is a famous area in Paris. The castle was built as a small hunting lodge (乡间小屋) for Louis XIII in the 1620s. Years later, he made it bigger. Later, Louis XIV also made it larger, making it one of the largest palaces of the world.

  Château de Chambord

  The Château de Chambord is one of the largest castles around the world. It sits in the Loire Valley. Being at the heart of Europe's largest enclosed wooded park, Chambord, it was built for King Francis I to serve as a hunting lodge. It is one of the world's most well-known castles in the world because of its French Renaissance (文艺复兴) building.

  Château de Chenonceau

  As one of the most famous castles in the Loire Valley, the castle was built during the 11th century on the River Cher. It was passed through many hands. The castle was not destroyed during the French Revolution because it was the only bridge across the river for many miles.

  Château de Chantilly

  This historic castle sits in the town of Chantilly, France. This beautiful castle is made up of two buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s. There are many interesting pieces of 17th century history concerning the castle. Every two years a fireworks competition is held in the castle gardens.

  25. What do we know about the Château de Versailles?

  I recently traveled with my family to Itacare, Brazil. Itacare is a small town in the state of Bahia, which is known for its beautiful beaches. While there, I met a man named Alvimar Valadares. He walks more than 12 miles a day without wearing shoes, looking for sea turtles on the beaches and picking up plastic.

  There are few sea turtles left alive now in Brazil and around the world. Valadares, who prefers to be called “Capixaba,” wants to help save them. A local hotel sponsors (赞助) his work.

  Several years ago, the hotel manager noticed a group of people watching in respectful silence as Capixaba saved three baby sea turtles. The hotel manager realized that these turtles were great ambassadors (大使). They draw people's attention and make them want to learn about and protect the local environment.

  Capixaba has worked in the hotel's Tartaruga Program for the past 15 years. (Tartaruga means turtle in Portuguese.)

  In addition to watching and checking sea turtles, Capixaba meets with local schoolchildren and fishermen to teach them how to protect the turtles and the environment. The more that people know, Capixaba said, the more they can help protect the turtles and the environment. For example, since sea turtle hatchlings (幼崽) follow the reflection (反射) of the water to get to the ocean, it's important for local houses and hotels to keep their lights dim (暗淡的) at night. That way, the hatchlings will know which way to go.

  “I really like to work with and teach kids,” Capixaba said. “They're the ones who are going to change this and help the turtles.” Then he let me hold one of the turtle eggs!

  29. Why does Valadares walk along the coast?

  A. To stop tourists catching sea turtles. B. To record sea turtles' population.

  C. To raise sea turtles for a hotel. D. To help save sea turtles.

  30. What did the hotel manager think of sea turtles?

  A. They needed to be protected. B. They could bring Bahia business.

  C. They attracted visitors to the hotel. D. They helped people learn about Brazil.

  31. What’s the purpose of the example in Paragraph 5?.

  A. To show what sea turtles do at night.

  B. To show how serious light pollution is.

  C. To show when sea turtle hatchlings get to the ocean..

  D. To show why it is important to help people learn the knowledge of sea turtles.

  D

  On December 24, 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Köepcke got on a plane with her mother in Lima, Peru, to fly to another city to meet her father.

  Over the Amazon jungle (丛林), the rain fell heavily and there was a strong wind. And then lightning hit the plane at 3,000 metres, and it crashed (坠毁). Juliane fell quickly through the air in her seat and hit the trees hard. For three hours, she was senseless. When she woke up, her right arm was cut, her shoulder hurt badly and she couldn't see out of one eye. She was alone. But she was alive!

  Juliane's father was a biologist (生物学家) and when she was small, he taught her how to survive in the jungle. She found a small river and walked slowly along it. “If I follow the river,” she thought, “I'll find people.” The river also gave her clean water to drink. It was very hot, but the river water kept her cool. Sometimes she had to swim in the river because it was too deep to walk in. There was fruit on some trees but she didn't eat it — she knew it was too dangerous. Juliane walked for ten days. Ten days after the crash, she found a small house by the river.

  Add pictures to your journal. 39 . Combining pictures with your first-hand accounts of what they represent, or what happened when they were taken, will make for(有助于)a better travel journal.
