9．At age 23，Indian entrepreneur Srikanth Bolla is the CEO of a company valued at INR 50crore （over﹩7.5million）．Today，he considers himself the luckiest man in the world，not for his success，but for having supportive parents who always stood by him．
When Srikanth was born blind，several of his parents'friends and relatives advised them to abandon him．That would indeed have been the easier thing to do，given the fact that they were poor and uneducated，earning a mere INR 20，000 （﹩300）a year．But they chose to not only keep the boy，but also raise him in a positive，loving environment．"They are the richest people I know，"he often says．
And their excellent parenting has paid off-today，Srikanth is the CEO of Bollant Industries，a Hyderabad-based company that employs   physically challenged staff to manufacture eco-friendly consumer packaging solutions made from leaves and recycled paper．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．As he grew older，he started taking on larger challenges．He was rejected despite having scored well in the entrance test，merely because 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 said，"Compassion（憐憫） is showing somebody the way to live and giving them the opportunity to thrive．Show compassion and make people rich．Include people in your life and remove loneliness，and lastly，do something good； it will come back to you．"

24．From Paragraph 1and 2，we learn that Srikanth owes his success to hisA．
A．parents           B．luck       
C．hard work         D．friends and relatives

B．a(chǎn)re physically well

B．faced more rejections and tried to overcome them
C．got a lot of friendly assistance when facing challenges

27．Which can be the best title for the passage？A
A．Blind man built company worth millions
B．How parents raised a successful child
C．How compassion makes people rich
D．The whole life of Srikanth Bolla．

分析 本文主要講述了雖然我是個盲人，但是父母仍然沒有拋棄我，反而給我提供了一個積極充滿愛的生活環(huán)境，長大后我面臨著很多人的拒絕，但是憑借自己的努力終于創(chuàng)建了一間價值百萬的公司，并雇傭那些曾在生活中和我一樣掙扎的人．

解答 24．A  細節(jié)理解題，由第一段Today，he considers himself the luckiest man in the world，not for his success，but for having supportive parents who always stood by him．及第二段but also raise him in a positive，loving environment．"They are the richest people I know，"可知他將自己的成功歸功于他的父母，故選A．
25．D  理解推斷題，由第三段And their excellent parenting has paid off-today，Srikanth is the CEO of Bollant Industries，a Hyderabad-based company that employs   physically challenged staff to manufacture eco-friendly consumer packaging solutions made from leaves and recycled paper．可知他的公司雇傭殘疾人員生產(chǎn)環(huán)保的消費包裝，故選D．
26．B  細節(jié)理解題，由第三段He was rejected despite having scored well in the entrance test，merely because 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．可知他面臨更多的拒絕并克服了它們，故選B．
27．A  主旨大意題，本文主要講述了作者是一個盲人，但是他憑借自己的努力創(chuàng)建了一間價值數(shù)百萬的公司，故選A．

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意，帶著問題回到原文，尋找細節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案，最后要理清作者寫作思路．

     But We didn't want to sell our house to just any buyer．We had three requirements in mind．The first was to find someone who loved our place as much as we did-after all，We'd lived there for more than thirty years．The second was to find a buyer who would share our faith and not bargain with us over the price of me home．And lastly，since moving rates dropped in the fall，we didn't want to move until mid-October．

20．Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices，while driving，walking，shopping，even sitting in toilets．When connected electronically，they are away from physical reality．
People have been influenced to become technology addicted．One survey reported that"addicted"was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices．One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep，cigarettes and alcohol．
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products，not to actually improve our quality of life．They have successfully created a cultural disease．Consumers willingly give up their freedom，money and time to catch up on the latest information，to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern．
I see people trapped in a pathological（病態(tài)的）relationship with time-sucking technology，where they serve technology more than technology serves them．I call this technology servitude．I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money．
What is a healthy use of technology devices？That is the vital question．Who is really in charge of my life？That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology．When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week，then we can regain control and personal freedom，become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology．Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that"too much of a good thing is wonderful．"But it's time to discover that it does not work for technology．
Richard Fernandez，an executive coach at Google acknowledged that"we can be swept away by our technologies．"To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today's overused technology．

63．The underlined word"allure"in Paragraph 2probably meansB．
A．a(chǎn)dvantage         B．a(chǎn)ttraction  
C．a(chǎn)daption          D．a(chǎn)ttempt
64．From the passage，technology companies aim toA．
A．a(chǎn)ttract people to buy their products         
B．provide the latest information
C．improve people's quality of life           
D．deal with cultural diseases
65．It can be inferred from this passage that peopleD．
A．consider too much technology wonderful
B．have realized the harm of high-tech devices
C．can regain freedom without high-tech devices
D．may enjoy life better without overused technology
66．What's the author's attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices？C
A．Neutral．            B．Sceptical．
C．Disapproving．       D．Sympathetic．

I know （67）a man who has a coin collection worth $250．He was very happy about his purchase and（68）thought（think） the price was reasonable．On the other hand，my youngest brother collects matchboxes．He has almost 600of them but I doubt if they are worth any money．However，to my brother they are （69）extremely （extreme） valuable．Nothing makes him（70）happier （happy） than to find a new matchbox for his collection．
