Jobs and Apple co-founder Wozniak are widely recognized as pioneers of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s.Jobs was diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor (肿瘤) in 2003.

Besides the main venue in Beijing, the cities of Qufu and T ai’an in East China’s Shandong Province were among the four sub-venues, due to their significant role in the development of Chinese civilization.Qufu is the hometown of Confucius, China’s most renowned philosopher, but he is also famous worldwide – even more so today thanks to Chinese culture’s growing popularity across the globe. In recent years, Confucius Institutes have opened in quite a number of countries and regions, enabling those who are interested in China to learn more about the country.The main venue at the old CCTV building’s studio in Beijing featured the design of the Chinese character ―Zhong‖– which is also the first character of ―Zhongguo,‖ the name of the country. The symmetrical (对称) structure of the character contains profound connotations (内涵), and is a symbol that could represent the nation.Chinese cultural TV shows such as ―National Treasure‖ and ―The Chinese Poetry Competition,‖ were both parts of the variety shows in 2017 and have found their places in this year’s Gala as well.There was also a cross-talk featuring ancient Chinese poetry, which was inspired by the poetry-themed TV show that was aired during last year’s Spring Festival. In recent years, the revival of traditional culturehas become increasingly popular in China.24.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase ―usher in‖ in Paragraph 1?A. showB. welcomeC. representD. watch25.What is the main theme of the 2018 Spring Festival Gala?A. Traditional cultureB. Comedies and martial artsC. Chinese OperasD. Singing and dancing26.Why were the cities of Qufu and T ai’an chosen as the sub-venues?A.Because they are both the beautiful cities.B.Because they are both well-known worldwide.C.Because Confucius was born in Qufu.D.Because they are important to Chinese civilization.27.Which of the following is NOT true?A.There were altogether five different venues in this year’s gala.B.Many foreigners could learn more about China from Confucius Institutes.C.An increasing number of Chinese are fond of traditional culture in recent years.D.We couldn’t watch Chinese cultural TV shows in this year’s Gala.CWhen Su Quanke looks out over the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, he does not see only steel pillars, asphalt (沥青) and cables, but a long dragon－a symbol of China’s engineering prowess.As the project’s chief engineer, Su is familiar with every inch of the vast crossing. ―As a cross-sea bridge, the 55-km structure is the longest of its kind in the world and is built with 420,000 metric tons of steel, enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers,‖ he said. ―The HZM Bridge is a marvel of modern engineering, one that is designed to last for 120 years－longer than any other bridge on the Chinese land,‖ he added. It alsomay be the most difficult bridge to build. ―Construction of the gigantic project has overcome a series of world-class technical problems, including the rapid building of artificial islands and connections using underwater tunnels,‖ Su said.The bridge has been built above Lingdingyang at the Pearl River Estuary, which has complicated geological and hydrodynamic conditions. It has to be able to resist super typhoons every year. The tunnel section also has had to cross one of the busiest deep-water passages, the Lingding West Channel, as well as waters that are home to Chinese white dolphins, which are under the State’s strict protection.The bridge is also environmentally friendly, with special filter screens installed in every drain to prevent rubbish and oil leaked from vehicles from being directly discharged into the sea. The number of Chinese white dolphins has risen over recent years to more than 1,800 from 1,400 when construction of the bridge began in 2009.The Y-shaped bridge, which will take more than 105 billion yuan to build, is expected to start carrying traffic in early 2018 and will cut the land travel time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai by 2 hours and a half to just 30 minutes. It is part of the country’s planned national highway network, connecting the western and eastern parts of Pearl River and further integrating (结合) the cities in the Pearl River Delta.The bridge was lit up on Dec 31, 2017. A lighting ceremony was held on Sunday to mark the completion of the majority of the work, indicating it is ready to go into service.28.What can we infer about the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge according to paragraph 2?A.It is the longest bridge in the world.B.The steel used for the bridge is not equal to build 60 Eiffel Towers.C.It can last longest among the bridges in China.D.It is impossible to build the artificial islands in a short time.29.How can the construction of the bridge protect the environment?A.Construction of the project has overcome a series of world-class technical problems.B.Special filter screens are installed in every drain to prevent the leak of rubbish and oil.C.The bridge has been built above Lingdingyang at the Pearl River Estuary.D.Hongkong, Zhuhai and Macao have cooperated to build the bridge.30.How long did it take to travel between Hong Kong and Zhuhai on land before the bridge is built?A. 2 hours.B. 2 hours and a half.C. 3 hours.D. 30 minutes.31.We may learn from the text that the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge __________.A. can represent the power of China’s engineeringB. is unable to resist super typhoonsC. has done great harm to Chinese white dolphinsD. went into service on Dec 31, 2017DI’m an old person in a young person’s body. Change exhausts me. I like routine. The simple motions of a school day were always calming to me—the same classes, the same people, the same hours spent in a predictable pattern.When my plans change suddenly, it feels like gears grinding in my brain. Instead of rolling along with my routine, everything in my head seems to jam while I erase everything I had planned for the day and replace it with my new plans. It doesn’t matter if the new plan is better than the old—having to quickly rebuild my mental schedule almost physically hurts. My brother once made a last-minute decision to visit our parents (who live five hours away) and gave me an hour’s notice to decide if I wanted to go with him, and I burst into tears. I eventually gave in, which led to a very nice weekend. I like my family, but I need a couple of days to psych myself up (做好精神准备) for such a big change.I know no matter how hard I try, I can’t prevent things from changing. The school year ends, people move, friendships fade. But I get so attached to the familiar that even positive changes have been difficult for me to accept, so I’d have to mourn the end of an old era and adjust to something new. One concept that really jumps out at me is the idea of impermanence. It’s b asically like that saying ―this too shall pass.‖If I want to become comfortable with change, I have to learn to live in the moment. I have to accept that life is good right now, but that it is not permanent. When you learn to accept ahead of time that an end will come, the end is less painful.Now, I still cling to routine. But these days I’m better at rolling with change. When my best friend left to spend her last semester on an out-of-state internship, while I mourned the end of our life together, I also found myself kind of excited about the new experience of living alone. It turns out it’s kind of lonely. But this too shall pass.32.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 imply?A.The author looks younger than her actual age.B.The author looks older than her actual age.C.Young as the author is, she pretends to be an old person.D.Young as the author is, she behaves like an old person.33.Why did the author mention her brother’s example in paragraph 2?A.Because she wanted to tell us that she doesn’t like her family.B.Because she wanted to stress that the sudden change will hurt her a lot.C.Because she wanted to show us the importance of changing the schedule.D.Because she wanted us to know it’s not necessary to make a sudden change.34.In order to adapt herself to the change, the author __________.A. has changed her routineB. has tried to seize todayC. has given up all her plansD. has admitted things are permanent35.What may be the best title for the text?A. Change exhausts me.B. Change is unnecessary.C. Everything shall pass.D. Everything is permanent.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

In an unexpected accident, the cattle worker was feeding the animal s in his charge when one bull cleaned him up and kicked his hand up against the rail, resulting in the thumb on his right hand being cut off. “My thumb was still hanging on the rail... when I got up off the ground,” Zac Mitchell says.His co-workers tried their best to preserve the thumb for reattachment, placing it on ice in a cooler, but two surgeries to put Mitchell’s thumb back in place failed. That’s when doctors came up with another suggestion: Remove one of his big toes to where his thumb used to be.Mitchell’s lead surgeon, Sean Nicklin, understood the man’s dilemma at first, calling it a “bit of a crazy idea”. After all, Zac Mitchell did not want to be injured in another part of his body. But as the thumb is incredibly important function-wise, Mitchell eventually gave in. Nicklin explains that the big toe is surprisingly fit for a thumb switch: Nerves sync up (同步) nicely, and it looks more like a thumb, though a giant one, than any other alternative they may have come up with. He added that big toes aren’t as necessary for balance and walking as people believe. As far as the foot goes, occasional “fine balance” activities like surfing might be difficult, but most people without a big toe function fine in everyday tasks like walking and even competitive sports.The eight-hour surgery went well, and Mitchell is expected to have a year or so of recovery in front of him before he heads back into the fields.4．What happened to Zac Mitchell on April 4th?A．He cleaned up a bull. B．He was badly hurt.C．He started his farm. D．He lost his thumbs.5．What suggestion did the doctor give to Mitchell after the unsuccessful surgery? A．Recreating a new thumb in place.B．Replacing the thumb with his toe.C．Transplanting his co-worker’s thumb.D．Putting back the cut-off thumb again.6．What is Mitchell’s first attitude to the doctor’s another suggestion?A．Optimistic. B．Insignificant.C．Hesitant. D．Rejective.7．According to Nicklin, after the surgery Mitchell is able to .A．surf on the sea B．do daily activitiesC．only stay at home D．work on wheelchairMany people wrongly think that cities don’t have farms and that fruits and vegetables are only grown in the country. Believe it or not, there are more and more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world.Alexandra Sullivan, a food system researcher in New York City, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is another name for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and grown. According to Ms. Sullivan, “Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world.”The number of humans living in urban areas, or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who want to garden in urban areas is also rising, Ms. Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, they grow fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. They use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.” Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops, urban residents still need to rely on food grown in rural areas. This is because a city doesn’t have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living in it.In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isn’t a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop vegetable farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space. This makes Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world.Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local residents and restaurants. And because the farms are on rooftops, they are specially adapted to their urban location. They use available space that is not needed for anything else. As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban residents will be better able toget fresher materials for their meals.8．Which of the following is Ms. Sullivan’s opinion according to the next?A．The number of people living in cities is increasing slowly.B．Urban residents still rely on food grown in rural areas completely.C．Urban agriculture has a history as long as cities.D．Urban agriculture can provide huge income.9．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Farmers. B．City residents.C．Rurai residents. D．Companies.10．What can we learn about Brooklyn Grange in New York City from the text?A．It has large farming areas. B．It can only grow single products.C．It produces enough food for citizens. D．It makes use of rooftop space to grow vegetables.11．What may be the best title for the text?A．Farms in Cities B．Future Food SystemC．Food Grown in Cities D．Agriculture of New York CityAt your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds — nearly twic e as long as in Americans’ meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish commonunderstanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.12．Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?A．The Dutch. B．Americans.C．The English. D．The Japanese.13．What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation?A．Speaking more gives the upper hand.B．Speak out what you have in your mind.C．Great minds think alike without words.D．The shorter talking silence, the better.14．What can we learn from the text?A．A four second silence in conversation is universal.B．It’s hard for Americans to reach a common agreement.C．English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.D．The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.15．What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph m ean? A．Similarity. B．Contradiction.C．Diversity. D．Misunderstanding.二、七选五Travelling is a great way to interact with a culture which might be completely different from your own.16．Before I moved to Sicily I had travelled around the whole of Italy, the south and the north, and I absolutely fell in love with the culture and the language, so I was inspired to learn the language and also to move here. And here I am now, living in Sicily.17．When you get back home you'll have lots of stories to tell your friends and family. Even if something isn't very fun, it will be funny to look back and laugh at those awkward or harsh moments. For example, I was travelling with a group of friends in Pisa and we took the wrong bus to get to the beach area, so we ended up being stuck in the rain and having to walkback.When you travel, you expose yourself to different people.18．It's a great learning experience for both you and the other person because you can share and exchange your own ideas and opinions on a range of topics. For example, I met an Iranian philosopher and we talked about the nature of magic. A lot of his ideas were shaped by his Iranian background and Iranian philosophy.19．Travelling is the realization of home.20．Since I've been away from London ，I've come to appreciate the little things that I used to take for granted, like our amazing transport- everything runs on time; everything runs well. So sometimes it takes being away from home to realize how much you absolutely love your hometown.A．It was a really interesting discussion.B．Travelling will make you a really good storyteller.C．Travelling could enrich your awareness of the world.'D．They may have a completely different outlook on life.E.We realize how much we miss our hometown when we travel.F.Travelling might just convince you to move to another country.G.Being away from home, we miss our friends and our family very much.三、完形填空My daughter had just turned five when I took her to go grocery shopping with me one day.
