My mom is eighty years old and her short term memory is long gone. Acceptance of what is, 31 what should be, is not an easy task.‎ It is hard watching a parent grow old. If we are lucky, we have a fixed 32 in our minds of our parents in the best time of their lives. I try to remember all the things that made my dad who he was to me. Every once in a while, this offensive, 33 image of how he looked the last time I saw him in the hospital creeps into my mind. I try to 34 such an image from my brain and replace it with the images of him I treasure.‎ Now I want to make my mom whole again. I want her to wake up this morning with 35 mind and purpose. I want the mom I remember and still see in my dreams. But reality does not deal in emotion. It can be cruel and unforgiving. It does not let us 36 the moments we retain. It takes us where it wants to take us, 37 our thoughts.‎ I know my mom struggles to 38 what is happening to her. She wants to say she is fine and always asks what she can do for us. I know she wants us to retain the images of her as positive and 39 and carry those around with us each and every day. But she knows she can no longer remain thirty-nine, as she tried to do for almost forty years. She knows that her 40 of the family has been replaced by a new and unintended position. She can recall the glory days. 41 she has a hard time remembering what she ate for lunch.‎ I start every morning by calling my mom to ask her how she is feeling. It is now almost 9 a.m. in New Jersey. I’m sitting in Utah, at the computer, knowing when I finish my thoughts, I must 42 the phone. If not, the cycle of 43 will be started again. I hope she will be my mother again. I hope that there will be one day a (an) 44 for Alzheimer’s disease so that the next person sitting at the ‎ computer does not have to remember the good times past, but can live 45 . I hope today is the day that the present comes back into focus for my mom. I hope!‎ ‎31. A. less than B. better than C. other than D. rather than ‎32. A. figure B. image C. gesture D. look ‎33.

Well, Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guidebook publisher, releases its top picks for travel destinations every year. Here are some of the winners for 2018. Have a look and maybe they’ll give you some ideas about your next vacation.‎ Canberra, Australia Canberra is not the most famous of Australia’s cities. People think of Sydney and Melbourne before they think of Canberra. Still, Canberra is the country’s capital and political center. And recently, it has become a hit with the word’s travelers. Lonely Planet highlights three attractions that make Canberra a place to consider spending some time in. First, nearby cities like Braddon and NewActon have great vigor. Braddon was once an industrial area; today, it has cafes, shops and restaurants. NewActon has a stunning（极漂亮的）new hotel built entirely of native Australian wood. As you’d expect, these fashionable areas boast many small art galleries that go well with the national museums that are invariably（总是）found in a nation’s capital. Canberra has a full calendar of events for 2018, including folk and wine harvest festivals that will surely bring travelers from both within and outside of Australia.‎ Detroit. US This choice by Lonely Planet is even more surprising than Canberra. For a long time, Detroit was an industrial city. It was a center for car manufacturing（制造业）and therefore a heavily blue collar location. Much of that industry is gone today. But the city is now gaining appeal as a tourist destination for Americans and non-Americans alike. People are attracted to culture, and Detroit certainly has a cultural tradition. Starting from the 1950s, it was a center for African--American pop music. The famous music company Motown was founded in Detroit. Today, the Motown ‎ Historical Museum is a must--see for any visitor to the city. The markets, murals, restaurant and sports facilities add to the Detroit vibe（氛围）, as does the new streetcar system, which makes it easy to get around. According to Lonely Planet, Detroit is a fine example of the American “comeback” story: It’s had its tough times, but now it’s back in business.‎ Seville, Spain Whereas Canberra and Detroit are new world cities, Seville in Spain is classic old-world. It is a historic city, dominated by a magnificent cathedral and a sprawling（蔓延的）network of medieval streets. Seville was the site of many historical events, all of which are still tangible（可感知的）for today’s visitors. It was once the capital of Moorish Spain. And Seville has its own connection with the new world; Back in the 16th century, trade with colonies in the Americas made it wealthy. Find out more at the Archivo de Indias, which “provides a fascinating insight into Spain’s colonial history”, according to Lonely Planet. But Seville is also a modern city with all the conveniences that the modern traveler expects. Like all Lonely Planet tourist destinations, it boasts cafes, restaurants and art galleries for visitors who have finished absorbing the city’s historical sites.‎ ‎46. What can we conclude from paragraph two?‎ A. Canberra has become the most popular destination in Australia.‎ B. Braddon is well known for its industrial buildings and shopping malls.‎ C. NewActon features a hotel made of native Australian wood.‎ D. Canberra’s small art galleries appeal to visitors more than national museums.‎ ‎47. According to the last two paragraphs, ________.‎ A. Seville is a new world city in Spain B. Seville is rich in historical sites C. Detroit tourists are fascinated by its industry D. Detroit tourists are mainly attracted to new streetcar system ‎48. The purpose of the article is mainly to ________.‎ A. compare top travel destinations B. recommend some lesser--known destinations C. show how industrial and historic cities attract visitors D. inform us of some most popular travel destinations for 2018‎ B Drones（无人机）are slowly starting to become part of our everyday lives. They used to be just known for helping create the action shots used in online videos and movies, but creative new ways to use drones are being invented all the time.‎ Just take a look at this latest use: A solar--powered “transformer drone” has been developed by scientists from the University of Minnesota. US. Its aim is to make farmers’ work easier by letting them survey their crops from the air.‎ The drone can take off like a helicopter, then change its shape mid-air to fly like a plane. The design means it can take off almost anywhere and hover（悬停）during flight to get a stable view of the land below.‎ Despite its large wingspan of 2.1 meters, the drone weighs just under 4 kilograms. Thanks to solar cells on its wings, it has enough power to fly nonstop during the daytime.‎ It’s designed to be used by farmers to spot plant disease, manage water use and even spray pesticides in the exact place needed, reducing waste.‎ The transformer drone is but a small part of a bigger picture. When asked what a drone looks like, most of us would probably picture a remote--controlled toy, or perhaps a large, unmanned military aircraft. But those images could soon be quite different, as drones are becoming increasingly smaller and cheaper to make. They can now gather in groups of hundreds to fly like a flock of birds.‎ Known as swarms（集群）, they’re seen as the next step forward in the drone industry.‎ Swarms are clever. There is no leader in a swarm because it is a self-organizing system in which each drone is equal. This allows each drone in a swarm to search an area efficiently, or for the whole swarm, to fly together without colliding（碰撞）with one another. And only one operator is needed to control the whole swarm.‎ Swarms are also tough. One missile（导弹）can bring down an aircraft, but a swarm can lose dozens of members and keep going.‎ In fact, we have already had the luck of seeing swarms of drones in real life.‎ In February, 300 drones made by US tech company Intel formed a swarm in the shape of the American flag during Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl halftime show, lighting up the night sky. And Chinese company EHang recently used 1,000 drones to display a map of China and the Chinese character for “blessings”.‎ In the long term, as researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute predict, small swarming drones might become as much a part of our environment as insects. Their RoboBee project is developing tiny drones smaller than a paper clip to collect weather data.‎ So maybe in the next few years, our skies will be filled with thousands of drone swarms.‎ ‎49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?‎ A. Transformer drone was designed to help farmers predict local weather.‎ B. Transformer drone can fly all year around without stopping.‎ C. Transformer drone can check on plants from the middle of the air.‎ D. Transformer drone is very tiny and works in large groups.‎ ‎50. We can conclude from the article that drone swarms ________.‎ A. are mainly used as military aircraft B. work well thanks to the teamwork of many operators C. have an advantage because of their self-organization D. are efficient with a smart and powerful leader in a swarm ‎51. We can learn from the last three paragraphs that ________.‎ A. Lady Gaga was the first person to have used drones in a performance B. the RoboBee project is based on our understanding of birds’ flying patterns C. the large number of drones has become a threat to our environment D. the spread of drones will benefit human beings in various ways C Maddie Hoffman is battling against epidemolytic ichthyosis her skin can grow up to ten times faster than normal, peels（剥落）and becomes so dry that she can’t move. Each day she undergoes a two-hour routine to remove dead skin cells and protect ‎ her from catching a life threatening infection.‎ Her mother, Emily, was told that her daughter may not survive after she was born. She wasn’t allowed to hold her daughter until she was seven days old in an isolation room and she had to wear gloves and a mask. She said, “It was visible at birth that she had ichthyosis and shortly after that all the layers of skin fell off in sheets. She was bright red and looked like a burn victim. The nurse told us, ‘You realize your baby may not survive?’ It was very scary.”‎ Her mother’s concern Emily added, “she has one of the most severe forms of the condition, requiring aggressive and painful treatment administered for up to three hours every day. The build-up of scaling is her worst enemy. The more it layers up the more likely she is to have skin infections. As each hour goes by, her skin gets harder for her to move; she gets drier and starts to flake--off. There are days when she can hardly move. The most affected part is her feet. Any friction causes blistering （起泡）, and even socks and shoes affect her. We have a daily battle with her blisters and her not being able to work tirelessly to stop them from getting infected.”‎ Bullied at school Emily said, “Bullying is a big deal for her. She goes through a lot of stares and teasing. Kids get nervous seeing her skin shedding and bully her about her smell caused by the skin build-up. Seeing people stare at her and look with disgust, as a mother, I feel heartbroken. That is why we try to speak out. Maddie wants to help children in general to stay motivated and positive. We try to teach others that it’s okay to be different. So in spite of everything Maddie is going through, she is an extremely happy and optimistic girl who loves to help others and is determined to raise awareness.”‎ Dreams for the future Maddie, who is a Make-A-Wish kid, as dreams of dancing with Ellen DeGeneres to raise awareness of her condition. Unfortunately, Emily, a single mother, and Maddie, a suffering girl, have been rejected disability said financially. Emily said, “It’s very hard for us without a lot of support for her condition. Ichthyosis is very ‎ financially draining. But we choose to stay as positive as possible and take each day as it comes, in the hope one day it will be cured.”‎ ‎52. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph one refer to?‎ A. a common disability B. a kind of aggressive condition C. an abnormal symptom D. a strange supernatural power ‎53. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Maddie will surely recover from the disease.‎ B. Doctors offered an optimistic attitude to Maddie’ disease.‎ C. Maddie is so upset about bullying that she skips classes.‎ D. Classmates treat Maddie badly because of fear and disgust.‎ ‎54. Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. Maddie remains a positive and kind-hearted girl faced with pain.‎ B. Even socks and shoes can have an effect on Maddie’s skin.‎ C. Maddie undergoes a routine to remove dead skin cells every day.‎ D. Maddie dreams of dancing with Ellen DeGneres to become famous.‎ ‎55. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. An exciting experiencing in a girl’s life.‎ B.

It is a source of deep contentment. The Swiss get genuine joy from the fact that life unfolds on time and they define happiness as life in a fairly punctual manner.‎ Whenever I visit Switzerland, I go through several stages of punctuality reaction. At first it delights me, especially if I’m coming from neighbouring Italy or France with their rather more flexible approach to timekeeping. By contrast, life in Switzerland is dependable, like a Saint Bernard dog. For instance, when someone’s ordered a new refrigerator, the company gives a precise two-hour window for delivery. If someone says they will meet me at 2 pm. they arrive at 2 pm not 2:05 (or 1:55, for that matter). I like this. For a while.‎ Then it annoys me. The extreme punctuality strikes me as a kind of a lack of generosity, and I find myself agreeing with the English writer Evelyn Waugh who said that “punctuality is the virtue of the bored.”‎ That is unfair though, and finally, I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is; a deep expressing of respect for other people. A punctual person is a considerate one. By showing up on time—for everything—a Swiss person is saying, in effect, “I value your time and, by extension, I value you.”‎ Punctuality is not without its drawbacks. For one thing, it creates a kind of bunching effect （群聚效应）. Coffee shops in Swiss cities tend to be crowded at 4 p.m. every day because everybody takes their coffee break? at exactly 4 p.m. In apartment buildings, residents must follow a strict weekday schedule for use of the laundry rooms.‎ Extreme punctuality also creates an expectation, and if that expectation is not met, disappointment comes. On those rare occasions that things do not function smoothly, the Swiss get angry.‎ How to explain this punctuality? No one knows for sure. But a popular theory is that, historically, it arises from the tough, mountainous terrain（地形）. Either you planted your crops on time and harvested them promptly or, well, you starved.‎ Punctuality, sadly, is a dying art in many parts of the world. Mobile phones are partly to blame. We feel less pressed to arrive on time if we can always text to say we’re running a few minutes late. I don’t sense that is happening in Switzerland, though. It is no coincidence that the Swiss are the world’s watchmakers. Which came first—the precise timekeepers or the precise people? Hard to say, but the result ‎ is the same; a nation where the trains—and everything else really do run on time.‎ Title: The nation that hates to be late Introduction The Swiss get genuine joy and feel (56) ________ deeply from a life in a punctual manner Stage of the author’s reaction to this punctuality feeling delighted In contrast to Italy or France, life in Switzerland is dependable and things are done at the exact time as planned.‎ feeling (57) ________‎ The writer thinks being extremely punctual (58) ________ generosity and is boring.‎ appreciating Punctuality shows respect and (59) ________ for other people.‎ ‎(60) ________ of punctuality creating bunching effect Coffee shops and laundry rooms have a (61) ________ to be crowded at a certain time.‎ creating expectation If that expectation is not met, the Swiss get angry and (62) ________.‎ ‎(63) ________ for this punctuality According to a popular theory, the tough, mountainous terrain (64) ________ in their habit of punctuality, without which people would have starved before.‎ Conclusion Though it is hard to tell whether the precise timekeepers or the precise people came first, Switzerland is a nation where everything really do run (65) ________.‎ 六、单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 在空格中填入适当的单词，使句子完整正确。每空一词。‎ ‎66.

But for students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Florida, US, this year, it ended up (76) ________ a nightmare. A mass shooting carried out by Nikolas Cruz, 19, a former student of the school, occurred there that day, (77) ________ at least 17 people dead and several others wounded, according to NBC News. This raised awareness of a serious issue that while Americans have to (78) ________ 21years old to buy alcohol legally, they can buy a gun at the age of 18 in most states. The low age requirement for buying guns can be traced back decades ago. (79) ________ hunting was very popular among young people in the US. Now, this latest mass shooting in the US has brought back debates over gun control in the country. On Feb 19, many students gathered in front of the White House in Washington on Feb 19, (80) ________ (call) for more to be done about gun control. The US government is now considering raising the minimum age for buying guns, reported The Telegraph.‎ 八、补全短文（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ US author Henry Rollins once wrote: “Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.” Indeed. there are many paintings that portray loneliness, songs that are inspired by loneliness, and works of literature that center around this theme.‎ ‎(81) ________ Instead, it’s a “giant evil” that’s become a serious problem in the country.‎ ‎(82) ________ On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the country’s very first “Minister for Loneliness”. Her job is to handle the loneliness that the country’s been feeling - a problem which, according to UK government research, is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and is more harmful to one’s physical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.‎ ‎(83) ________ Back in 2011, the UK was given the title of the “loneliness capital of Europe” by The Telegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were less likely to get to know their neighbors or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries.‎ But this doesn’t mean that the problem only affects Britons. (84) ________ What we need according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox. is to have “proper human connections”.‎ Leadbetter said at an event last year, “Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. (85) ________”‎ But the first steps toward fighting this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or frightened by it. After all, without loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldn’t even exist. And “evil” or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being human.‎ A. And the problem hasn’t just appeared recently.‎ B. So just how serious is it?‎ C. In the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style.‎ D. In fact, we’re all suffering from loneliness now more than ever.‎ E. We need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings.‎ F. In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic.‎ G. I having access to the internet has enabled us to be more connected than ever.‎ 九、书面表达（满分20分）‎ Tencent prevents game addiction with time limits for kids TENCENT is putting controls to limit the daily time for youngsters to play its popular King of Glory game after parents and schools in Shanghai and other areas complained their children had become addicted to playing it. ‎ Kings, developed by Tencent, the leading mobile games developer in China, has become a hit since launching in 2015, and is now China’s most popular game, with 163 million monthly users.

First, youngsters lack self-control so they sometimes spend too much time on games, which results in their poor performance in school and bad health. Second, playing games is a waste of money and some youngsters even do something illegal to get money for playing games. What’s more, internet addiction may affect their mental health as well, such as withdrawing from society.‎ So it’s necessary to have control over youngsters’ playing internet games. Personally, our government should make laws to control game developers and youngsters. Besides, parents should spare more time to give their children more useful guidance. And youngsters should learn to manage time and live a meaningful life.‎ ‎(150 words)‎ ‎ ‎
