But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids wi

18、th disabilities were “of no use” and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanths parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the star.Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-four-year-old is the founder

19、CEO of Bollant Industries.Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students and teachers didnt quite like him because of his disability. As a r

20、esult, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone.Concerned this would hold back Srikanths development, his family decided to send him to a special school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, earning awards in speech and debate compe

21、titions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying sciences when he reached 10th grade, because it was thought too “dangerous” for a blind student. Not wanting to give up, Srikanth took legal action and became first blind student in the country the allowed to study sciences.Later, after graduating fr

22、om the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Srikanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees, 70% of whom are physically challenged.Being disabled doesnt mean being unable. “If the world looks at me and says, Srikanth, you can do n

23、othing, I will look back at the world and say I can do anything.” the young man says.24. Why was Srikanth sent to a special school?A. His parents became richer than before.B. He could be treated better there.C. This school was free for disabled students.D. He was sent away by the regular school.25.

24、What can we know about Srikanth from the text?A. He was born in a poor village.B. He cared about disabled people.C. His parents were strict with him in his study.D.

Disability Doesnt Mean Being UnableCThroughout history, music has spread among people of different cultures. In todays

26、technologically advanced society, however, people spread music online, sometimes without an artists permission. This can lead to many problems, and music companies are now cracking down on this practice. Sharing music online without permission is theft.Sharing music online prevents recording compani

27、es from making money through their efforts. They say that sharing music online has resulted in a huge drop in profits and sales over the past 10 years. People who find music for free online are not paying for CDs or every MP3 download. To truly understand the influence of music piracy（盗版行为）on creato

28、rs, one must understand how many people are involved in the recording process. For the sale of each album, profits must be shared between musicians, sound engineers, music producers, managers, advertisers, and the company selling the product. Many people believe sharing music only affects the record

29、ing artist, but the reality is that sharing hurts business of all the companies involved.There are many people who dont see the harm in sharing music online and even think they have the right to do it. One online blogger states that he originally paid for an entire CD and that he should be able to d

30、o with the material whatever he wants. While he may have legally paid for the music, he does not have the right to provide permission, which means people like the blogger are thieves.Although we dont spread todays music the same way we did before, theres no doubt that people around the world love to

31、 share music. However, Internet piracy would prevent musicians from continuing producing albums for fear of theft. Therefore, if people want to continue listening to their favorite artists, they need to buy their music so that artists will make enough profit to continue their music careers.28. The u

Music piracy is good for music lovers.DTelescopes（望远镜）have come a long way since the first ones were invented early in the 17th century. Traditi

35、onal telescopes allow astronomers to view objects in space thanks to the visible（看得见的）light those objects emit（发出）, or reflect. However, for modern telescopes, any Electromagnetic（电磁的）radiation will be enough for the purpose of viewing objects in space. Extremely hot objects, such as stars, emit not

36、 only visible light but also high-energy gamma radiation. Specialized telescopessuch as NASAs space-based Chandra X-ray Observatoryare built to detect such radiation. Cold objectslike comets and asteroidsemit low-energy radiation, which is invisible to the naked eye. Much of the universe is even col

37、der. The clouds of dust and gas of which stars are made are only slightly warmer than absolute zerothe temperature at which atoms stop moving. To catch images of cold objects, astronomers use radio telescopes.A radio telescope is a device that typically uses a large dish antenna（抛物面天线）to collect the

38、 low-energy radiation emitted by objects in space. However, it was quite challenging to get a clear image of those objects using ground-based antennas. The reason is that low-energy radiation is absorbed and distorted by water vapor（水蒸气）in the Earths atmosphere. The signal that a dish antenna on the

39、 ground finally receives is therefore weak.The signal can be strengthened by positioning the antenna on a site with very dry air. It can be made even stronger by arranging several antennas in an array, combining their signals so that they function together as a single, more powerful telescope. And i

40、f the antennas are portable, the distance between them can be adjusted to change the sensitivity of the telescope. Placed far apart, they can focus on a small goal, such as a planet. Grouping the antennas closer together can be useful for catching images of an object as large as a galaxy.Atacama Lar

41、ge Millimeter Array（ALMA）, a large array of antennas, was officially opened in March 2013. Since the official opening of ALMA, there has been a steady stream of discoveries of great interest to astronomers. In July 2013, the telescopes high-quality images provided clues that may help answer a questi

42、on that has long puzzled astronomers. ALMA is also helping researchers understand how planets are born, by providing the first-ever images of the planet-forming process. These observations are just the beginning. In the future, ALMA will show us even finer details of galaxies and star systems.32. Wh

43、at images can radio telescopes catch that other telescopes cannot?A. Images of distant atoms.B. Images of distant hot objects.C. Images of objects that emit visible light.D. Images of objects that emit low-energy radiation.33. What is a limitation of a radio telescope?A. It can only be used in large

44、 and distant deserts.B. It is greatly affected by water vapor from the Earth.C. It often fails to combine signals with other telescopes.D. It breaks down easily due to using ground-based antennas.34. What is a good way to get a wide-field shot of a galaxy?A. Using a telescope with antennas spaced fa

45、r apart.B. Using several telescopes all aimed at the same place.C. Using several telescopes all aimed at different places.D. Using a telescope with antennas spaced closely together.35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To show the importance of ALMA.B. To explain the operation of ALMA.C.

46、To describe how ALMA was set up.D. To point out that ALMA has changed.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。Now it is time to set your resolution.

48、food to once per week, or have dessert once a week.Make it possible 37 . To eat better, put that bowl of fruit right next to your lunch bag, so you grab an apple or orange every day.
