Apple wanted that stamp badly

You see, she knows I am a stamp-collector and always wander about the place where letters are delivered. When I said
21、 No, she looked rather sad, Apple told me. We were completely at a loss. Too frightened to go to the teacher, we decided to go to the meeting place ourselves. At the park gate, we saw a tall young man with glasses, walking back and forth as if he was waiting for someone. I did not know how long we h
22、ad been there. Finally, the man left, looking very worried and disappointed.A few days later, Apple ran to me with stamps in his hand and tears in his eyes.

26、s. He was a natural inventor. When he finished school, he went to study mathematics at Cambridge University. Later, he got a job teaching at the university. While working there, he designed his “first difference engine”. This was, basically, a hand-operated mechanical calculator. He took nine years
27、to build a part of the machine. This machine can make complex mathematical calculations. Its a basic mechanical computer. Babbage dreamed, however, of more complicated machines. In fact, he didnt only dream; he began to design them. The result was a series of “analytical engines” which were in fact
28、powerful computers! His designs contained processors, control units, a memory, and an input/output system. These are the four essential parts of a modern mathematical computer! Alas! His “second difference engine” couldnt use electricity since this hadnt yet become a usable source of power, so Babba
29、ge had to make do with mechanical systems. For this reason, the machine was big, complicated and expensive. Though Babbage produced complete plans for the machine, he couldnt build it. It was too advanced for its age! It was not until almost 160 years later that Babbages “second difference engine” w
30、as finally manufactured. The first working version of this machine was built by the Science Museum in London, for the Babbage bicentenary in 1991. A second machine was then built for an American high-tech millionaire, who put it in the Computer History Museum, in California. Babbages analytical engi
31、nes would have used “programs” like those used in the textile(纺织)industry to make complicated patterns, but they were never built. This brilliant mathematician really was too far ahead of his time!28. Where did Babbage plan his “first difference engine”? A. In London B. At high school C. At Cambridg

Babbages engines didnt run on programs B. Textile patterns are produced with programs C. Babbage can be seen as the father of computers D. B
34、abbages analytical engines were never builtD When youre out with a friend and take a photo of yourselves, do you know that you are also creating a work of art? Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not. Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍照) on WeChat or QQ, but
35、you probably dont think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist.But the chief executive of Londons Saatchi Gallery, Nigel Hurst, thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters. In support of the idea, the Saatch
36、i Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression.It features well-known self-portraits from artists including Dutch painters Van Gogh (1853-1890) and Rembrandt (16061669). It also has selfies on show that have “quickly become icons of the digital era.” These include one taken by
37、US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, according to the BBC.The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious. He isnt claiming that a snap
38、 you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-image painted by Van Gogh. But he does make a serious point. Once upon a time, it was only artists who could make images of themselves. They were the only ones, as Hurst told The Guardian, who “had the skills, materials an
39、d tools to create self-portraits.” Today, however, we “all have that ability through our smartphones.”The popularity of the selfie rocketed after smartphones started to become widely used. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries named “selfie” as its word of the year. As Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Mas
40、sachusetts School of Professional Psychology, told Vogue magazine: “the cult (热潮)of the selfie celebrates regular people”.32. What does the underlined word “features” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. informs B. shows C. sells D. misses33. Nigel Hursts attitude to the smartphone selfie is_. A. c
41、asual B. mixed C. favorable D. negative34. Who shares opinions with Nigel Hurst? A. Kim Kardashian B. Barack Obama C. David Cameron D. Pamela Rutledge35.
