But things were even harder for those disabled kids who were born in a small village in In
12、dia, where most people thought that kids with disabilities were useless. Srikanth Bolla was one of them. Luckily, Srikanths parents loved their son and refused to give in to social pressure. They encouraged the blind boy to reach for the stars.Srikanth didnt disappoint his parents. The 24yearold you
13、ng man is the founder and CEO of Bollant Industries, a successful company that makes environmentally friendly packaging.Of course, getting here wasnt easy. As a young boy, Srikanth went to a regular school. But the students and teachers there didnt accept his disability. As a result, the young boy o
14、ften was largely ignored.Worried about Srikanths study, his parents finally sent him to a special needs school. The young boy soon rose to the top of his class, but he was not allowed to study sciences, because it was believed too dangerous for a blind student. This was a big setback since it meant
15、that he couldnt take the entrance exams for any of Indias top engineering colleges to realize his dream.Not one to give up, Srikanth managed to study in the University of Cambridge in the UK. After graduating with a degree in computer science and business management, Srikanth decided to return to In

17、ucated, they encouraged Srikanth to realize his dreams and taught him that true happiness comes from helping others.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。一出生就双目失明的 Srikanth Bolla 在父母精心的抚养和支持下,直面挑战,创建了自己的公司,为家乡的残疾人提供了就业机会。5Why do the disabled kids in the small village lead a difficult life?AThey are often looked down upon.
18、BThey can do nothing for society.CTheir parents are too poor to support them.DThey have no chance to realize their dreams.A解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的 . where most people thought that kids with disabilities were useless 可知,在 Srikanth 出生的村庄,残疾的孩子往往被人看不起。6What happened to Srikanth in a regular school?AHe was the

23、ting insects, the fish were taught to spit at pictures of human faces showed on a computer screen outside their aquarium.The fish were first introduced to two faces, and taught to spit at one of them in exchange for a food reward. The researchers then tested whether the fish would recognize and spit
24、 at the face they had learned from among 44 new ones. And they were right more than 80% of the time.To the researcherssurprise, even when they did that with faces that were in black and white, the fish were still able to find the face they were trained to recognize.Telling one human face from anothe
25、r is a surprisingly difficult task. As we all have two eyes above a nose and a mouth, doing so depends on recognizing some extremely small differences.“It has been supposed that this task is so difficult that it can only be completed by higher animals, which have a large and complex(复杂的)brain,” said
26、 Newport, whose study was published in the journal Scientific Reports. “But the archerfish were able to do this without having a neocortex, the most recently developed part of the brain. In humans, the neocortex governs our sense and language.”“Fish have a simpler brain than humans and they dont hav
27、e the section of the brain that humans use for recognizing faces,” Newport said.“Even though, many fish show amazing visual(视力的) behaviors and therefore make the perfect subjects to test whether simple brains can complete complex tasks.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项实验结果表明:射水鱼不仅捕获猎物的方式很特别,而且还能识别人类的面孔。9What were
28、the archerfish asked to do in the laboratory?APick out the face they knew. BShoot the computers from a far distance.CCount the number of faces on the screen.DPick out black and white pictures from colorful ones.A解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句话可知,研究人员训练射水鱼从众多人脸中识别已经给它们看过的人脸,故答案选A。10What can we learn about the ar
29、cherfish?AThey have a complex brain.BTheir neocortex is very large.CThey belong to higher animals.DThey have excellent eyesight.D解析:推理判断题。结合第四段中的 . doing so depends on recognizing some extremely small differences 和最后一段中Newport说的话可知,识别人脸需要发现一些很细微的差别;鱼类虽然没有复杂的大脑,但是很多鱼类的视力都很好,这为研究人员提供了很好的研究课题。由此可以推知,射水
30、鱼拥有极好的视力。11What is the purpose of the text?ATo encourage people to protect fish.BTo introduce a kind of fish with special ability.CTo introduce the result of a study on archerfish.DTo show that animals with simpler brains are smarter.C解析:主旨大意题。通读文章可知,作者介绍了一项实验结果:射水鱼能识别人类的脸。DThe great success of Find

35、t from stores in California, Hawaii, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia, over half, including the blue tangs, had cyanide in their body.To help people make better decisions when looking for fish for their kids, the researchers made a free mobile app. Called Tank Watch, the app helps people to kn
36、ow whether a fish has been caught using illegal fishing methods.The World Wildlife Foundation is asking fans of the movie not to “Find” Dory, but to “Protect”the beautiful fish! This means not rushing out and buying a blue tang after watching the film. As Ellen Degeneres, voice actress for Dory, say
37、s, the movie is not about “Finding” Dory, but about “putting it back to the ocean”【解题导语】很多人喜欢把海里的鱼当宠物养,这使得一些人用化学药物来捕鱼,给海洋生态系统造成了威胁。12What makes experts worried after the movie Finding Dory came out?AThat people may not like it.BThat the clownfish will disappear.CThat people may rush out to buy a “Do
38、ry”DThat coral reefs may not draw any attention.C解析:推理判断题。根据文章内容可推断, Finding Dory这部电影使得Dory这种鱼很受欢迎,专家们担心人们会大量购买这种鱼,从而对海洋生态系统构成危害。13What do the two studies mentioned in Paragraph 4 tell us?AIts very hard to catch pet fish at sea.BBlue tangs are very popular in the US.CCyanide is not allowed to use in
