24、 in 1958 in Guangxi, China. As a keen and able student, Huang went to the UK in 1993 to further his studies.By the time Huang moved back to China in 2008, he had been living and working in the UK for 15 years. He had a good job and a life there, but he gave it all up to return to home driven by the

25、idea that he needed to contribute to his country. As one of the worlds leading 领先的， 主要的 experts in deep earth exploration technology, Huang was invited to participate in the Thousand Talent” programme. He took up a position at Jilin University, Changchun.Huang was named lead scientist 首席科学家 on China

26、s deep earth exploration programme, developing advanced cameras that can see through the Earths crust（夕卜壳）so that it can be analyzed without having to dig into it. He set up an advanced lab, sometimes paying for equipment with his own money. Some described him as a “lunatic” （a madman）, but this pas

27、sion（热情）and drive enabled Huang to push forwards Chinas deep earth exploration technology into a world-leading position. Huangs devotion contributed to Chinas lunar probe （月球探测器）Yutu being landed on the moon in 2013 and the launch of the spacecrafts Shenzhou-11 and Tiangong-2 in 2016.Huangs health a

28、lso paid the price for his commitment to his work. He began having fainting fits（昏 厥）in 2012, but paid them little attention, stating he did not have time to go to see a doctorhis workalways came first.优先，抖F在首位 In November 2016, Huang fainted and was taken to hospital, where he was diagnosed 诊断 with

29、 cancer. The disease was so advanced 晚期的 that he had just a couple of months to live.Like the true scientist he was, Huang never gave up, but always tried to push forwards. Even from his hospital bed, he continued his work, writing letters of reference 参考 for his colleagues and replying to questions

30、 from his students. Huang died in January 2017, aged just 58. More than 800 people attended his funeral to celebrate a life that burned so bright, but was so short.24.

33、ang Danian?A. Generous and honest.B. Hardworking and determined.C. Modest and courageous.D. Passionate and patient.CEvery time we get on a plane, were asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode -its for security reasons”. But according to The Conversation website, having to tu

34、rn our phones off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”.When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference （干扰）to the aircrafts radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. “Its the same noise youll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close

35、to a speaker/9 the Mirror noted. It is not safety-critical, but is annoying for sure.” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isnt dangerous from the viewpoint of service, it isnt still a good idea. When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a cell tower 信号塔 that deals with all

36、calls within an 80-kilometer radius （半径）.As we move from place to place we are “handed on 转 交“to different cell towers. As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are built-in 内置的/固定的expectations: There shouldnt be too many “hand offs 传球and people shouldnt be traveling faste

37、i than car speeds. Of course, phove users should be close to the ground. he added. If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met. And even worse, our cellphones would stop working.But now things are beginning to change. If we still cant speak during a

38、 flight, we can use other phone functions. For example. Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines has in flight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely. The breakthrough 突破 co

39、uld be pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the plane itself. There would no longer be connections made between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disturbance of phone service. One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground.28. W

40、hy is making a phone call NOT allowed on a plane?A.Because it will pose a threat to their safety.B. Because it can guarantee a better service.C.Because it fails to be connected to the cell tower.D. Because it may cause annoying noise to pilots.29.

What can we infer from the passage?A.People need to travel slower than airplane speeds while phoning.B.Pico cells may contribute to free phone calls on a plane.C. Undisturbed phone service has been provided by airlines.D.Passengers can receive calls on Ai

42、rbus A330 through inflight WiFi.31. .Where is the text most likely from?A.A newspaper.B.An official document.C.A guidebook.D.A science fiction story.DWe know that China is the largest and fastest-growing consumer market in the world. What is less well understood are the forces that shape 塑造 consumer

43、ism 消 费主义 in the worlds most populous 人 口 稠密的（popular/popularize/ population 人口）country. In my view, there are some social and cultural aspects at play 起作用 that drive consumer spending.Consumerism is related to freedom. To have a choice means to have consumer choice. You are what you consume. Consum

44、ption is an expression of self. It allows you to explore the world through its products, to experiment with lifestyle choices, and to do so safely and anonymously （匿名）.You might never get to France, but you can try French wine. California might be far, but you can go to Shanghai Disneyland. Indeed,

45、the enthusiasm/enthusiastic （passion/ be passionate about） for choice is reflected in the enthusiasm Chinese consumers have for online shopping.Consumerism is a statement of success. American economist Thorstein Veblen popularized the concept 概念 of “conspicuous consumption”.炫耀性消费 When consumption is

46、 no longer driven only by need, it becomes a way of making a statement that you have disposable （可自 由支酉己的）income and you can at least in certain respects enjoy life on your terms. Simple pleasures a pair of shoes, a smartphone, designer clothing become statements of personal identity.The collective

47、experience is focused. We like participating in group events. FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out 遗漏，goes beyond cultures.超越文化 But I suspect this trend is stronger in China than in the West because Confucian culture does not celebrate outsiders as the Wests culture does. Social media reinforce （强化）this co

48、llective pattern so that shopping and dining are shared experiences. Opinions are crowd-sourced. And the merchants 商人 reinforce this pattern by supporting holiday sales, group buying, and other promotions.促销Successful brands in China are able to handle/tackle/deal with/cope with most or all of the above considerations. The consumer must not only be delighted with your product. The journey of the consumer must also respect these socio-cultural aspects.32. Whats mainly talked about in the passage?A.Chinese are growin
