【題目】 Billy Dengler, a 14-year-old boy, is in the eighth grade. A month after he was born, Billy’s mother, Terri, noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. She took Billy to the hospital, and the doctor said Billy would never be able to see.

Although Billy can’t see, he has never let that hold him back or make him different. Billy began teaching himself computer programming by using a screen reader when he was just seven years old. He is a certified Google developer (谷歌認(rèn)證開發(fā)者) now. Google even tried to offer him a job when he discovered a problem in one of its systems, but Billy wasn’t old enough.

Billy’s dream school would be Stanford University or MIT, where he could get a very good education in computer science. After he leaves school, whether he will go to work at a company like Google or design a software company of his own is still to be decided. However, he says he will be sure to do something great.

“It’s a sighted world,” Billy said. “You can’t let anything get in the way of your dreams, and if you do that, you can’t move forward and make your dreams come true.”

【題目】 Do you know about aerotrain(氣動(dòng)懸浮列車)? A high-speed aerotrain can run 400 to 500 km per hour. What a surprising speed it is! And it is being developed by China and Japan together. It’s said that the model of this high-speed aerotrain is more than one metre long. The bullet-nosed(子彈頭)car is like a high-speed train, and its body has wings, which are similar to the plan.

The aerotrain doesn’t run on traditional fuel resources(燃料資源)such as coal, gas or electricity. The train will be fully powered by natural energy. It will not only reduce costs but also improve the speed. The high-speed aerotrain is expected to change the world’s transportation situation, according to experts.

Lai Chenguang is a very famous expert. He comes from Chongqing University of Technology. He is good at this kind of technology in China. At the same time, he also takes part in the projects. He introduced that the first and second generation(一代)high-speed aerotrains have been tested. He believed that they could pass a series of strict tests smoothly.

“If the train runs at a speed of 500 km/h, it will use very little energy. The energy it consumes is only 1/3 of that of normal high-speed trains.

【題目】 In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones. It has also become the world’s largest supplier of 5G. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.

But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban (禁令) on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, The U.S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt.

“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “The ban from the U.S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only 4,000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic (浪漫的) as you imagine.

Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunications equipment supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

1From what Ren Zhengfei said, we can learn that Huawei ________.

A.is deeply affected by the ban

B.has got into the system of the U.S.

C.can solve the problems they are facing

D.is asked to supply information to China

2The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means ________.

A.Huawei’s developing experience was hard

B.it was romantic to start a company with 4,000

C.people can understand Huawei’s experience easily

D.the romantic experience was a large amount of wealth

3What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.Huawei is full of hope.

B.Huawei will grow slowly.

C.Huawei’s sales will be doubled.

D.Huawei is the largest smartphone maker.
