1、 D.Answer the questions.The inspiring story of a blind CEO

At the age of 23, Indian entrepreneur Srikanth Bollar is the CEO of a company valued at over $7.5 million in 2016 . That’s really a wonderful achievement. But what’s truly inspiring is that he managed to do it despite being born blind.

When Srikanth was born, several of his parents’ friends and relatives advised them to leave him. That would have been the easier thing to do because they were very poor .But the parents chose to not only keep the boy, but also to raise him in a positive, loving environment . ‘They’re the strictest people I know.’ Srikanth often says.

And their excellent parenting has paid off – today, Srikanth is the CEO of Bollant Industries. The company employs disabled people to produce eco-friendly products. The products are mostly made from leaves and recycled paper.

Life was not easy for Srikanth. He was rejected by his peers at his village school. After transferring to a school for special children, he did very well in his studies and also developed an interest in close and cricket. Although high school was hard for him, he eventually found a teacher who was kind enough to turn all his lessons into audio clips, and helped him with his exams .

Srikanth failed to enter his dream college ITTs(印度理工学院) because of the simple fact that he was blind –though he did very well in the entrance exam . But he managed to go to MIT, and graduated from the school in 2012. He returned to India soon after, and started his company with Swarnalatha, his special needs teacher in school and lifelong friend .

‘Srikanth is not only my young friend but also my teacher.’ Swarnalatha said . ‘He teaches my anything is possible if you set your mind to do it.’1.When was Srikanth born?

2.How did Srikanth’s parents raise him?

3.What people does Srikanth employ

4.Why didn’t ITTS allow Srikanth to enter the school?

5.How did Swarnalatha help Srikanth with his studies during his high school years?

6.What can we learn from Srikanth’s story?

D.Answer the questions.

Mike and his daughter, Alice were flying a kite in the park. Alice was a little tired and thirsty, so they took a rest on the bench（长凳）. When the daughter saw an old man selling apples, she asked her father to buy her an apple. Mike don’t have much money with him, but it was enough to buy two. So he bought the apples and gave both to his daughter, smiling.Alice held one apple in her left hand and the other in her right hand. Then Mike asked her if she could share one of the apples with him. When the girl heard this, she quickly took a bite（咬）from one apple, and then the other.

Mike was surprised. He didn’t know why his daughter acted in such a greedy（贪婪的）way. He was lost in thought. Maybe his daughter was too young to understand sharing and giving. The smile disappeared from his face.

I’m Tim. I’ve been a taxi driver for nearly ten years. Most London taxi drivers have their own taxis. So do I. It's a nice job most of the time. You meet a lot of people. I always work at night, because there is too much traffic during the day. I live twenty miles outside London and I go to work at 5:30 in the afternoon. I usually go home between 2 and 3 in the morning. Some very strange things often happen late at night .The other day I was taking a woman home from a party. She had her puppy with her. When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the puppy. She climbed in through the window. I waited and waited. After half an hour, I tied（系）the puppy to a tree and started to climb in through the window, too. And then the policeman came. They thought I was a thief. Luckily, the woman came downstairs.

D. Answer the questions

In Spain, the well-known Tomato Festival attracts plenty of people around the world every year. On the last Wednesday in August, people gather in major Spain Squares and throw tomatoes at each other to celebrate the festival. They do it just for fun.

During the festival, there are all kinds of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight. At the same time, thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks full of tomatoes arrive. From the back of the large trucks, a great town band start to throw tomatoes at others. Then the crowds fight back, throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.

However, people in the fight have to follow some rules: It is usually over in less than half an hour, you must squash（压烂）the tomato before throwing it so as not to hurt others, you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes, and once the ceremony is over, no more tomatoes should be thrown.

D. Answer the questions.Letter A

Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time, that they will never be as free again. So, my question is--why fill up all this free time with housework? Parents expect their children to get good grades, be good at sports, and be popular with other kids.

However, there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well. It’s not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring housework. Parents and children both have jobs. Parents’ jobs are in the workplace. Their children’s jobs are at school.

The only difference is that parents get paid and children don’t. Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility. But this is just a trick. Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy.

Yours, Overloaded

Letter B

Both parents and children have jobs. The parent’s job is to go to work to earn money. The child’s job is to go to school. But we all get hungry. Someone has to cook the meals and clean up afterward. We all wear clothes that get dirty. Someone has to wash them, iron them, and

put them away. Children work from 9 until 4. Parents work from 8 until 6. Sure, after 4 o’clock, children have homework. But after 6, parents have homework too. They have to do the shopping, go to the bank, pay the bills, and help their kids with their own homework!

I think it’s only fair that teenagers help out a bit at home. They might not like it, but it’s good for them. It teaches them how to look after themselves. This is really useful when __5__.

If you speak to Benjamin K. Hammer on the phone, you would think you were talking to a person who had lived in a Chinese-language environment since childhood, as he uses mandarin's four tones correctly.

But Hammer started leaning Mandarin when he was a high school senior in San Jose, California. Since there were no Chinese-related courses at his high school in the 1990s, Hammer studied Mandarin at a community school's night classes.

\"In the United States, people are curious about Oriental culture and history, such as the culture embodied in religions, kung fu and traditional Chinese medicine,\" Hammer said.

Hammer is one of the US citizens who show great interest in Chinese culture. In addition to Mandarin, he learned kung fu from a Chinese teacher when he was a student at American University in Washington. He got his Chinese name, Meng Weilong, from his kung fu teacher.

“ I use the same family name with my kung fu teacher, as there is a saying in China that

the teacher is like your father,” Hammer said.

At American University, Hammer majored in(专业主修) international relations, and selected Chinese as foreign language without any hesitation. Since then, Hammer spent more time and effort on learning Chinese than he did on his major.

Chinese and English belong to different language families. Learning Chinese is a great challenge, but I do like the language.

“It’s rare that a Western foreigner can speak very good Chinese. I believe Chinese , rather than Spanish, can make me stand out from my friends. That makes me feel so great.” he said.

Hammer received his master’s degree in Chinese classical philology (中国古典文献学) at Shandong University and spent four years getting his doctorate in the same major from Peking University.

Now the 37-year-old works as a teacher at the Advanced Institute for Confucian(孔子儒家)

Studies of Shandong University in jinan. He is also the assistant editor of the English version of the Journal of Chinese Humanities.

Mr. Thompson is about forty years old. He has taught maths in a middle school for twenty years. He works hard and is very strict with his students. He has got a lot of students. Some of them have become famous persons, but they still remember him and often write to him. Of course, Mr. Thompson is or out of them.

This year Mr. Thompson began to teach Grade One. On the first day of school, he told the students to be honest(诚实). “I don’t like telling lies,” he said. “If you do, you will be published(被处罚).”Then he told all his students to finish Exercise 6 in lesson 1.

The next morning, Mr. Thompson came into the classroom. He said, “Please put up your hand if you have finished Exercise 6.”A few students raised their hands. Mr. Thompson shook his head and said, “Open your workbooks. Is there Exercise 6 in lesson 1?”

Answer the following questions.(阅读短文，回答下列问题)6%Learning a foreign language is difficult for many learners, but the following tips may help you learn a foreign language quickly. Reading aloud When you start learning a foreign language, read aloud. It will help you increase (增加) your vocabulary. Studies have shown that reading aloud instead of reading lowly only to yourself helps in remembering. It helps with pronunciation, too. Building your vocabulary You'll have to make a few word lists, have to memorize and review them regularly. You may have to review the word lists at least once a day for two weeks. Later you may need to review the word lists once a week for the next four to five weeks. Learning grammar Learning the grammar of a foreign language is a dry and boring task. But it can speed (加速) your language learning. Don't jump to learn tenses (时态); it's better to be done after you've learned some of the language. The most important thing is that you shouldn't worry about the mistakes you'll make when you start speaking the language. It's from these mistakes that you'll learn the language better. Watching TV and movies

This is a wonderful way to learn a foreign language quickly. You can watch TV shows in the language you're learning. They'll help you a great deal with the vocabulary as well as catching what others say and also your pronunciation.

animals have two horns(角), and you look strange with only one horn on your nose.”

All the other animals felt sad after hearing his words. One day, a monkey met the camel and said, “Oh! Mr. Camel! Where are you going with that ugly hump(驼峰) on your back? Look at your long and crooked(弯曲的) neck on such a small body. What do you do with such a long neck?”
