Today, he considers himself the luckiest man in the world, not for his success, but for having supportive parents who always stood by him.When Srikanth was born blind, several of his parents friends and relatives advised them to abandon him. That would indeed have been the easier thing to do, given the fact that they were poor and uneducated, earning a mere INR 20,000 ($300) a year. But they chose to not only keep the boy, but also raise him in a positive, loving environment. “They are the richest people I know,” he often says. And their excellent parenting has paid off today, Srikanth is the CEO of Bollant Industries, a Hyderabad-based company that employs physically challenged staff to manufacture eco-friendly consumer packaging solutions made from leaves and recycled paper. It wasnt an easy ride for Srikanth hes had to face several challenges all his life, including rejection from his peers at his village school. As he grew older, he started taking on larger challenges. He was rejected despite having scored well in the entrance test, merely because he was blind. But he managed to use his excellent academic records to gain admission into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from where he graduated in 2012. He returned to India soon after, and decided to start a company that would employ people who had struggled like himself in life.Srikanth said, “Compassion（怜悯） is showing somebody the way to live and giving them the opportunity to thrive. Show compassion and make people rich. Include people in your life and remove loneliness, and lastly, do something good; it will come back to you.”24. From Paragraph 1 and 2, we learn that Srikanth owes his success to his _.A. parents B. luck C. hard work D. friends and relatives25.

Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Blind man built company worth millionsB. How parents raised a successful childC. How compassion makes people richD. The whole life of Srikanth Bolla CPrevious studies have suggested as many as 70 percent of college students get insufficient（不充足的）sleep. But new data released today that analyzed sleep habits of college-age users of Jawbones UP fitness tracker suggests otherwise.Jawbone looked at sleep data from college-age users who wear the companys UP fitness trackers and found that they actually average just over 7 hours of sleep per night on weekdays and 7.38 hours on weekend nights. The data comes from 18,498 college-age users from 137 schools across the country who wear the device and accounts for 1.44 million nights of sleep data recorded by those individuals between 2013 and 2016. Here are four more points about the research:1. People at high-achieving schools tended to have later bedtimesThe data analytics team at Jawbone was also able to separate out sleep data for each school with UP wearers reporting data. They found that the tougher the school, according to the U.S. News ranking, the later the average college-age UP wearer at that school goes to bed.2. Still, 7 hours may not be enough sleepWhile the data from Jawbone may be encouraging, considering that previous research has found that some students sleep only 5.7 hours a night on average. But Neil Kline, a sleep physician, points out that even this higher number isnt sufficient. “There is much data that suggests that this age group needs more than seven or 7.5 hours of sleep on average per night,” Kline claimed. 3. The data doesnt include napsAnother point, Kline said, is that the data doesnt include naps. Total daytime sleep napping tends to be difficult to account for because naps can be short and easily forgotten, he said. But they do affect total sleep.4. Fitness-tracking students arent exactly the normIts also important to note that the data from Jawbone comes from college-age people who purchased and used Jawbone UP fitness tracking devices, which means that the participants in this research do not necessarily make up a representative sample（样本）of college students in terms of socioeconomic status or lifestyle factors. 28. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1?A. New data has the same results as the previous one.B. New data and the previous one have many things in common.C. New data from Jawbone may astonish most college students. D. New data suggests that college students spend more time sleeping. 29. According to the new data, a student who does well in academic performance may probably sleep _.A. less than 5.7 hours a nightB. less than 7.5 hours a nightC. early at night D. over the night 30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The sample of college students is far from enough. B. College students usually dont have naps at all.C. College students sleep only 5.7 hours a night on average. D. Every college student across the country takes part in the research. 31. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To show the importance of sufficient sleep at night. B. To explain why college students cant get sufficient sleep.C. To tell readers some data about college students sleep per night.D. To offer college students some tips on handling insufficient sleep.DThe Hollywood film, “The Martian”, opens to U.S.audienceson October 2. Actor Matt Damon stars as an astronaut left alone on Mars. His crew returned to Earth thinking he had died in a windstorm. Damonscharacter, Mark Watney, must survive with few supplies and somehow get a message to Earth that he is alive.The plan to release the movie this week was some lucky timing. On Monday, the U.S. space agency NASA announced it had found strong evidence of liquid water on Mars. That again raised the possibility that, with liquid water, there could be life.NASA also took a part in the development of “The Martian”. Director Ridley Scott and Matt Damon reached out to agency officials for help to make the story as scientific as possible.So how scientificallyaccurateis “The Martian”? Jeffrey Luger ofTimemagazine tried to answer that question. He pointed out two of the biggestfalsehoodsof the film. The first, Mr. Luger writes, is central to the story: a powerful, dangerous windstorm that forces the space crew to leave the planet. The very low density atmosphere of Mars, Mr. Luger argues, could not create a storm like that. Mr. Luger also has trouble with the lack of danger from radiation on Mars. He notes that the six-month trip to Mars alone would expose the astronaut to 15 times more radiation than is permitted for nuclear energy workers in a year.ButPopular Sciencereported much realism in the details. Science writer Sarah Fecht points to Astronaut Watneys struggle to work in astronaut clothing, especially the gloves. And, an expert she spoke with said the stiff gloves are a real problem. They are very difficult to bend.“The Martian” is receiving excellent reviews from top critics. Anne Hornadaycalls it a “spirited example of how cool science can be”. Mike DAngelo describes “The Martian” as a “celebration of our ability to solve even the mostdifficultproblems”.32. In “The Martian”, Mark Watney .A. had no food to eatB. was left alone on MarsC. had to stay on Mars for good D. couldnt send a message to earth33. From the passage, we know that NASA .A. has already found life on mars B. has a plan to send human beings to the MarsC. played a role in producing “The Martian”D. thought “The Martian” is scientificallyinaccurate34. According to Jeffrey Luger, which of the following is a falsehood of “The Martian”?A. Watneys struggle to work in astronaut clothing is untrue.B. The space crew had to leave Mars because of lack of oxygen.C. The low density atmosphere of Mars produced a smaller storm.D. Radiation on Mars seemed to have little effect on Watneys health.35. We can infer from the passage that .A. “The Martian” is a science-fiction film B. “The Martian” is a film about colorful life on MarsC. “The Martian” is likely to win an Oscar AwardD. NASA uses “The Martian” to help people understand Mars第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Five activities you can practice easily on Earth DayLeave your cars at homeCars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. 36 Other greener options are carpooling, riding a bike or you can also walk if you want a healthier option and if your workplace is not that far away from your home. Be a little dirty 37 We simply mean to say, dont take a bath. Yes, conservation of water is super essential. A day or two without a bath wont harm you, but it will certainly do a lot of good to our planet. A daily shower isnt a matter of health; its a matter of comfort. Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need. 38 This is one of the best things you can do. Why? Because it will do you good too.

If you have the time, there are lots of opportunities out there to pitch in, for instance, planting trees, cleaning a park or simply coming up with ways you can preserve mother Earth.
