文章大意：这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了摩尔的创业故事，她之所以能成功，源于她面对问题时乐观地看待问题，积极地想方设法去解决问题。因此，通过她的故事让我们懂得积极的思考和行动会带来成功。

1 . 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.

It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.

With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.

Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product — CanCandy.

As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.

Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.

1. How did Moore react to her dad’s warning? (No more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________
2. What is special about CanCandy? (No more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________
3. What does Moore expect from her business? (No more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________
4. How do you understand the underlined part in the last paragraph? (no more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________
5. How does Moore’s story inspire you to achieve success? Put it in your own words. (No more than 20 words)

科学技术记叙文生活故事

文章大意：这是一篇记叙文。文章以16岁的奥斯卡·康斯坦扎和33岁的凯文·皮特的例子，讲述了Wandercraft的外骨骼能帮助残疾人更好地生活。

2 . “Robot, stand up” — Oscar Constanza, 16, gives the order, and slowly but surely a large frame (支架) lifts him up and he starts walking. Fixed to his shoulders, chest, waist, knees and feet, the exoskeleton (外骨骼) allows Oscar — who has a genetic neurological condition that means he was unable to move — to walk across the room and turn around.

“Before, I needed someone to help me walk ... this makes me feel independent,” said Oscar, as his father Jean-Louis Constanza, one of the co-founders of the company that makes the exoskeleton, looked on.

“One day Oscar said to me: ‘Dad, you’re a robotic engineer. Why don’t you make a robot that would allow us to walk?’” his father said in Paris. “Ten years from now, there will be no, or far fewer, wheelchairs,” he said.

Other companies across the world are also making exoskeletons, competing to make them as light and usable as possible. Some are focused on helping disabled people walk, others on applications, including making standing less tiring for factory workers. Wandercraft’s exoskeleton, an outer frame that supports but also simulates (模仿) body movement, has been sold to many hospitals in France, Luxembourg and the United States, for about 150,000 euros a piece. It cannot yet be bought by private individuals for everyday use — that is the next stage the company is working on. A personal skeleton would need to be much lighter, Wandercraft engineers said.

Just outside Paris, 33-year-old Kevin Piette, who lost the ability to walk in a bike accident 10 years ago, tries one on, walking around his apartment, remote controller (遥控器) in hand. “In the end, it’s quite similar: instead of having the information going from the brain to the legs, it goes from the remote controller to the legs,” he said, before making his dinner and walking with it from the kitchen to the living room.

1. What difficulty did Oscar face?

A．He didn’t get along well with his father.	B．He didn’t get the right treatment.
C．He failed to invent a robot.	D．He lost his ability to walk.

2. What did Oscar ask his father to do?

A．Support his dream of being an engineer.	B．Help him get away from the wheelchair.
C．Stop limiting his freedom.	D．Set up a robot company.

3. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in paragraph 4?

A．Other companies.	B．Exoskeletons.
C．Disabled people.	D．Factory workers.

4. What can we infer about exoskeletons from paragraph 4?

A．They are affordable for most disabled people.	B．They will have a big market.
C．They have reached the common family.	D．They are not as useful as expected.

5. What can we infer about Kevin’s exoskeleton?

A．It is difficult to control.	B．It is worse than real legs.
C．It can satisfy his daily needs.	D．It helps him follow his dreams.
