That's a wonderful achievement in itself, but what's truly inspiring is that he managed to do it despite being born completely blind.‎ ‎ When Srikanth was born blind, several of his parents' friends and relatives advised them to abandon him. But they chose to not only keep the boy, but also raise ‎ him in a positive, loving environment.‎ ‎ It wasn't an easy ride for Srikanth—he's had to face several challenges all his life, including rejection from his peers at his village school. But he was later transferred to a school for special children, where he excelled at academics and also developed an interest for chess. As he grew older, he started taking on larger challenges.‎ ‎ More rejection was in store for Srikanth, who dreamed of going to college at the IITs, India's premier technology institutions. He was rejected despite having scored well in the entrance test, on the grounds that 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 is my true source of inspiration. He is not only my young friend but is also my mentor(良师益友) who teaches me daily that anything is possible if you set your mind to it." explained Ravi Mantha, one of the company's investors.‎ ‎25．What contributed to Srikanth's growth?‎ A．His friends' help.

D．was good at.‎ ‎27．Why was Srikanth admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology?‎ A．Because he was very wealthy.‎ B．Because his scores were excellent.‎ C．Because he was ambitious.‎ D．Because he was a blind man.‎ ‎28．What is Ravi Mantha's attitude towards Srikanth?‎ A．Favorable. B．Uncaring. C．Concerned. D．Doubtful.‎ C ‎ Money might not grow on trees, but it seems that furniture does! Gavin Munro, a UK-based designer, has come up with a brilliant alternative to cutting beautiful trees and converting them into furniture.‎ ‎ He first come up with the idea of growing furniture when he was working as a gardener in California and also made furniture with washed up driftwood on the side.‎ ‎ After several attempts, he finally managed to develop a model chair using four trees. Munro is now tending to a small 2.5-acre 'furniture forest' of 400 trees in a field north of Derby, England. He uses specially designed plastic frames to make young oak, and ash trees into the shapes of chairs, tables, frames, or lamps.‎ ‎ A forest that grows furniture sounds like a setting right out of Alice in Wonderland, but there's nothing magical about it, just a lot of hard work. The forest consists of rows upon rows of trees covered in blue plastic molds, converting them into furniture as they grow. Once they take the desired shape, they are cared for until thick, mature and ready for harvest.‎ ‎ After harvesting, each piece is planed(刨平) and finished to show off the wood grain inside. "It's an art form in itself, keeping track of everything." Munro said happily.‎ ‎ The entire process takes about four to eight years, resulting in fully functional, organic, eco-friendly furniture, and more long-lasting than anything else on the market. They're grown and grafted(嫁接) into one solid piece without any joints that loosen over time. As Munro puts it, "these could last for centuries."‎ ‎ Quality isn't an issue with forest-grown furniture, but logistics and scalability(可伸缩性) certainly are. For now, Munro expects to grow 50 pieces a year, with the first lot of chairs available for purchase in mid-2017, priced at $3,700 each.‎ ‎29．What is Munro doing at present?‎ A．Seeking for cooperation.‎ B．Caring for his furniture forest.‎ C．Designing attractive furniture.‎ D．Advertising for his furniture.‎ ‎30．What did Munro think of what to do after harvesting?‎ A．A heavy job. B．A pleasure.‎ C．An easy thing. D．A long-lasting task.‎ ‎31．When can customers get the forest-grown chairs at the earliest?‎ A．In the spring of 2017. B．In the summer of 2017.‎ C．In the autumn of 2017. D．In the winter of 2017.‎ D ‎ Forget drinking countless glasses of water or getting your beauty sleep. The secret of looking young is simply to stay out of the sun.‎ ‎ A study of hundreds of women has revealed that those who avoided the sun's rays looked up to 20 years younger than they actually are. However, other supposed rules for a youthful complexion(肤色), from drinking lots of water to sleeping well and exercising regularly, failed to hold back the hands of time.‎ ‎ Only keeping out of the sun, and wearing sunscreen when this wasn't possible, made a difference, the American Academy of Dermatology's annual conference will hear today.‎ ‎ The finding comes from a study of 231 women of all ages who were quizzed about their lives, including whether they were sun-worshippers. When researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in the US guessed how old the women were, they found those who took care in the sun tended to have aged more slowly.‎ ‎ A lucky four had so few wrinkles and age spots, and such a glowing complexion, that they appeared to be a full two decades younger than they really were.‎ ‎ Researcher Dr Alexa Kimball said the popular belief that we drink lots of water to stay healthy is false and the body is 'pretty good' at judging how much we need. Previous research by the British Nutrition Foundation reached a similar conclusion.‎ ‎ It isn't clear why the women who slept well didn't have younger-looking skin. But it may be that the question they were asked was too narrow and didn't take into account their long-term sleep patterns.‎ ‎32．Which way can help women stay younger?‎ A．Keeping out of the sun.‎ B．Drinking plenty of water.‎ C．Having a good sleep.‎ D．Taking exercise regularly.‎ ‎33．How did the researchers know the finding about women of all ages?‎ A．Through calls. B．By interviewing face to face.‎ C．By quizzes. D．Through games.‎ ‎34．What's the main purpose of writing the passage?‎ A．To prove people's previous ideas are not true.‎ B．To introduce a new way to make women younger.‎ C．To explain how scientists carried out the research.‎ D．To encourage women to take measures to keep younger.‎ ‎35．This passage is most probably taken from ________.‎ A．a science paper B．a reference book C．a science fiction D．a school textbook 第二节 (共5小题)‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Five Life Skills Your Teen Should Learn Before Moving Out ‎ ____36____ Teens should understand the importance of sleep, exercise and nutrition. Before you can do anything well, you have to have healthy habits. Also, teach healthy self-soothing(自我安慰) skills for managing disappointment. Teens don't handle disappointment well these day, which contributes to anxiety.‎ ‎ Negotiating(谈判) conflict.
