Today, he considers himself the 1 (lucky) man in the word, not only his 2 (succeed), but also for having great parents

12、and friends who always stand by him.When Srikanth was born, some of his 3 (parent) friends and relatives them not to keep him, because it was difficult for a poor family 4 (raise) a blind baby. But his parents didnt follow them. They decided to give Srikanth a positive, loving environment.Life was n

13、ot easy for Srikanth. He had to face many challenges all his life. He 5 (refuse) by his village school. So he had to go to school for special children. He did very well in studies and also developed many hobbies such as chess and cricket. Later Srikanth found a teacher who was kind enough to turn al

14、l his lessons into audio clips, and helped him 6 his exams.7 high school was difficult for a blind student, Srikanth didnt give up. Instead, he worked very hard and tried his best to go to MT(麻省理工), and graduated from 8 university in 2012. After his graduation, he returned to India, and decided to s

15、tart to a company 9 employed disabled people like him.Srikanth said, “Compassion(怜悯) is showing somebody the way to love and giving them the opportunity to grow up. If you do something good, it 10 (come) back to you.”. 阅读理解A13、 A day is made up of hundreds of small decisions. Ill wear this; Ill buy

16、this; Ill have this for lunch; Ill go there at 3 oclock; Ill reply to this e-mail.For some people, its not a big deal. For others, however, making decisions isnt easy. They agonize over what to do, changing their minds back and forth. and second guessing themselves even after the decision has been m

17、ade.Emily was in the restaurant with her husband. After several minutes of reading the menu , she said , Um , lets see. I dont know what to order. Maybe Ill have the burger; no wait, the pasta seems good. Or, maybe the soup and salad. Don, what are you ordering? OK; that sounds good ; Ill have that

18、too. Don often gets annoyed (恼怒的) .He doesnt understand why she finds the simplest decisions so difficult. He sometimes makes decisions for the two of them. But Emily gets annoyed with him for being so controlling. But wed never decide anything if I left it up to you, he argues.Good decision-making

19、is a skill that comes easily to some people, not so easily to others. Choices are confusing. Choices can make you anxious. They can cost you peace of mind, even after youve made the decision. The skill of good decision-making has become increasingly important. Why? Because we have a lot of choices,

20、both with the simple and the serious things in life.Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities. Accept that you cant have it all. You cant order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, things not experienced. Let the past be. Live in the present where wh

21、at you do today will make a difference.Its often good to think through your decisions, but dont overdo it. More thinking is not always better thinking. Too much research may lead to confusion. Sixth sense can help make decisions as good as careful study of endless data(数据) , sometimes even better.So

22、me decisions dont work out as expected ; this doesnt mean that you made a bad one. You decide to go on a cruise (油轮旅行) . You choose a large and beautiful ship. Everything should work out just right. Only you didnt count on a bug that spread through the ship, making you and your family sick for five

23、clays. You felt terrible for making such a stupid decision. No. You did not make a stupid decision. Its just that sometimes the unexpected happens.Try to make your decision. After all, its your special experience.1The words agonize over in Paragraph 2 probably mean .Athink about a difficult decision

26、expected situation may waste a good decision.DPeople feel terrible when making decisions.4Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?ADo you have difficulty making decisions?BAre you good at making a difficult decision?CCan you make a right decision easily or not?DWould you like

27、to make decisions for others?B14、With only fish and birds for company, Eric Erden has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean to Australia in his 23-foot-long boat since he left California on July 10, 2009.But crossing the Pacific is only part of his incredible journey. Eric has decided to go all the w

28、ay around the world using only his own energy. He will row, bike, and walk without help from any motors at all. Oh, and his plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents along the way, to honour the memory of a fellow climber.He says he is doing this to show kids that they can ach

29、ieve any goal, but he hopes to have some great adventures along the way.As a solo traveller, Eric has already faced disappointments and challenges. Because he has to row about ten hours a day, he brought along an MP3 player to listen to music and pass the time. Unfortunately, the nearly daily tropic

30、al rain for several months has forced him to keep his player packed away where its safe and dry.Storms and huge wave wind regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared,” says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But thats all part of the

31、journey. I knew this wouldnt be easy when I started. Thats why I gave myself two years to finish.”Protein bars（蛋白棒） give him energy, and he boils water to heat freeze-dried meals on a one-burner stove. A solar-powered machine removes salt from ocean water so he can drink it, but only when the sun sh

32、ines. When that fails he sometimes tries to collect rainwater in buckets.Hes not bothered by any of the hardships. Eric sees the world as a laboratory where there is much to learn. And when his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people - especially children. He has alread

33、y visited several schools and shared his story.1Why is Eric making this trip?ATo encourage children to reach for their goal.BTo learn more about the world around us.CTo have many great adventures in strange lands.DTo honour the memory of a fellow climber.2What does Eric plan to do on each of the six

35、rics character?ADetermined. BIntelligent.CFearless. DLonely.C15、In the most southern part of our planet, theres a place thats covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is

36、Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth. As the worlds least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (南极条约). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do sc

37、ientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the bigges

38、t problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is peoples daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables. Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarct

39、ica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”. Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. I

40、t can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds. Whats more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the o

41、nly tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientistspassionto learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land

42、.1From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica _.Ais covered with snow and iceBrains heavily from time to timeChas little wind most of the timeDhas sunshine during every night2Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _.Afind out ways to control water pollutionBresearch climate change and marine b

45、6、How do students spend their spare time after finishing their homework? Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Heres a good example.Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters, 11-year-old Amy and 9-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has

46、become the focus of the UK after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.Tim and Kerry didnt want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch tomatoes”. So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were

47、not permitted. Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr and Mrs Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters.Every holiday and weekend, whether its sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks would set off to try the activ

48、ities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing and skiing. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. “Our friends spend a lot of their free t

49、ime doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily, weve had the chance to experience something different.” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.1Why did the Meeks become the focus of attention in the UK?ABecause Mr and Mrs Meek t

50、ook part in the activities to encourage their daughters.BBecause the children are good examples of finishing their homework.CBecause watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted at their home.DBecause they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.2Whats the meaning of “cou

51、ch tomatoes” in paragraph three?AThe people who like outdoor activities.BThe people who like indoor activities.CThe people who sit in sofas and watch TV in all their free time.DThe people who take part in many activities in all their free time.3Which of the sentence is wrong?AThe Meeks would set off

52、 to try the activities every weekend.BThe two little girl were tired of all the activities.CThe two little girl learned a lot of skills from the activities.DThe activities are good to Amy and Ellas health.4What can we know from the end of the article?AThe family will stop doing the activities next y

53、ear.BAmy and Ella will continue to do the activities on this years list.CThe Meeks drew up a new list of challenges together.DThe parents have the final say to the list of activities.E17、The baby is just one day old and has not left hospital yet. She is quiet but alert（警觉）. The researchers have plac

54、ed a white card with two black spots on it twenty centimeters from her face. She stares at it carefully.A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another one, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus until a t

55、hird card is presented. The third card has three black spots on it. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world? Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?The

56、 same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When a little older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had a

57、n effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses.

58、Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats （鼓声）than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.1The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is mainly about the babys _.Asense of hearing Bs

59、ense of sight Csense of touch Dsense of smell2What does the underlined word it in paragraph 2 refer to?Athe card Bthe baby Cthe comb Dthe key3According to the passage, babies have a strong sense of changing in _.Athe size of cards Bthe colour of pictures Cthe shape of patternsDthe number of objects4

60、Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?ATo reduce the difficulty of the experiment.BTo see how babies recognize sounds.CTo carry their experiment further.DTo keep the babies interest.5Where does this passage probably come from?AScience fiction. BChildrens literature.CAn advertisement
