AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports andgroup gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don't like socializing with other people.C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described asA. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music worldAlma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “I n my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia andthe other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.”Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A. She comes from a famous musical family.B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25. How did Alma get to be widely known?A. Through an online videoB. By performing on televisionC. By putting on an operaD. Through her parents’ promotion26. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C. She is modest about her musical achievementsD. She is proud to have become a professional musician.27. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?A. They are very well-educated people.B. They are protective of their daughter.C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.28. What is the function of the second paragraph?A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A. ConfusingB. ReliableC. StableD. Variable30. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?A. There are more goods for people to choose from.B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C. Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31. What is the author’s o pinion about the introduction of new technology?A. It does not have an effect on most people’s jobs.B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.D. Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free(非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’ milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母). This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared to conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good co ws’milk alternatives available to consumers.32. The underlined word "those" in paragraph 1 refers to_______.A. alternativesB. peopleC. productsD. reasons33. The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A. their deep concern for the environmentB. their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D. The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthier CheeseB. New Milk Saves PlanetC. Fresher Milk, Better FutureD. Making Milk without Cows第二节(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。

One late night, I got atelephone call from a neighborhood. When I arrived there at 2:30 a.m., the only building was dark except for asingle light in the first floor window. So I walked up and knocked at the door.“Just a minute,” answered a weak voice. After a long time, the door opened and a small woman stood in front of me. Next to her was a small suitcase.Quickly I took her suitcase to the car and then returned to hold her. She took my arm and we walked slowlyto the car.

Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music. She also developed an interest in science.She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. Sheher requirements for a doctorate degree. completed a master’s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished allMcClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s was not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticistswere not much in demand.An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working atthe Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It is a research center on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started a temporary（临时的）job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent（永久的）position in the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.By the 1970s, her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research.

The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around."Hello?” she called. "Celia? Marie?"There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it “Forgotten Island” because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends - her, Celia, and Marie.But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault."Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat, "Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill ( 寒意) down her back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.24.What can be inferred about the island?A. It is very near the ocean.B. It is a popular place for boating.C. It is surrounded by thick forest.D. It has never been reached by others.25. Why did Lina get angry?A. Marie would not help row the boat.B. Lina was left alone on the island.C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.26.What caused Lina to feel a chill?A. Her shame about the unnecessary argument.B. The first raindrops of the approaching storm.C. The idea that no one would come to save her.D. The drop in temperature as the sun went down.27. Who pulled Lina out of the water?A. Marie's father.B. Lina herself.C. Marie.D. Celia.CTourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality (VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as "mind wandering". During these events we're not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we're recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feeling.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.28.What is driving the development of virtual tourism?A. Companies seeking to make more money.B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.C. People's demand for more shared experiences.D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.29.Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.30.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Science fiction.B. Virtual technology.C. Virtual tourism.D. The real world.31.What is the purpose pf the passage?A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says, "Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are." The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a "dance". Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and "difference" to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach themthe route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as the may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.32.What do ants and bees have in common?A. They live in similar-sized colonies.B. They make use of collective intelligence.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.33.What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?A. The quality of a new colony location.B. The distance to a neighboring colony.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.34.In paragraph 3, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reasons.C. By referencing opinions.D. By presenting study findings.35. What is the benefit of collective intelligence?A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.C. It reduces the division of labour among members.D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.第二节(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。

He fell suddenly ill and had to be sent to hospital.When he recovered, he wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children's hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously sick children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.One of his kids was a girl who was seriously ill and was paralyzed from the neck down. She couldn't move or do anything, and she was very sad. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room. bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn't use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, "See, you can do anything you set your mind to."At the end of the day, she began to paint with her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children's hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, he saw the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture which she drew with her hands. At the bottom it read, "Thank you for helping me walk."My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than a doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.3 A.B.C.The writer's father worked at the local hospital to .realize his childhood dreamimprove his serious heart conditionearn money to pay for treatment（1）三、阅读理解D.keep himself busy and happyA.

About 70% of smokers say they would like to stop. Alcoho1 abusers （酗酒者）struggle to give up the bad habits that hurt their bodies and destroy families and friendships. And many of us have unhealthy weight that we could lose if only we would eat right and exercise more. So why don't we do it?Some scientists have been searching for answers. They've studied what happens in our brains as habits form. They've found answers to why bad habits once formed, are so difficult to kick. And they're developing ways to help us make the changes we'd like to make.Habits are a normal part of life, and are often helpful. "We wake up every morning, shower,comb our hair or brush our teeth without being aware of it," Volkow says. We can drive along familiar routes without really thinking about the directions. "When behaviors become automatic （自动的）, it gives us an advantage, because the brain does not have to perform the action on purpose," Volkow says. This frees up our brains to focus on different things.4One way to kick bad habits is to focus on your unhealthy habits. Then try your best to stop them. For example, habits can be liked in our minds to certain places and activities. You could develop a plan to avoid walking down the hall where there's a candy machine. Try to avoid going to places where you've usually smoked. Stay away from friends and situations linked to problem drinking.Another helpful way is to replace unhealthy habits with new, healthy ones. "It doesn't work for everyone," Volkow says. "But certain groups of patients who have a history of smoking can do something else like running and it helps them stay away from smoking."A.B.C.D.In the first paragraph the writer mainly wants to tell us .we should stop something bad for usmost smokers would like to stop smokingbad habits are really difficult to give upeating right and exercising more can lose weight（1）A.B.C.D.Scientists have studied what happens in our brains as habits form in order to .find answers to solve the problemfind ways to form good habitskick their own bad habitshelp us see how bad habits form（2）A.B.C.D.Why are habits often of great help to us?Because they make our life normal.Because they make us do something better.Because they make us think more about life.Because they make our brain focus on other things.（3）A.B.C.D.If you want to kick bad habits, you'd better .focus on them on purpose and try to stop themgo to the same places linked with themdo something linked with themask the scientists for help（4）A.B.C.D.What is the best title for the passage?Breaking bad habits.Forming good habits.Finding reasons for bad habits.Replacing bad habits with good habits.（5）C5A father who spent his life admiring Superman had his own superhero moment, although it came just after his death, when he saved two lives by giving away his kidneys （肾）.Chris Kmetz, a 41-year-old Washington father of two, fell into a pond on Feb.23 while he was driving home. When doctors told his wife, Jackie Kmetz, that her husband wouldn't make it,she changed him into a "superdad" shirt and put their two kids, 2-year-old Madelyn and 4-year-old Dexter, in their own Superman clothes to say goodbye. Chris Kmetz died on Feb.28, 2015．"During his childhood, Chris was introduced to picture books, and Superman became his first idol," Jackie says. Chris kept over 1,000 such picture books in his bedroom and dressed as Superman every Halloween, and even sent videos telling superhero stories to his kids when he couldn't be home to put them to bed.Before his death, Chris cared a lot about organ （器官）donation, Jackie says. In fact, one of their usual conversations was the fact that they were both ready to be donors. "It was very clear in the first few hours after Chris's accident that the damage to his brain was deadly, so I talked to the doctors about that because it was something very important to Chris," Jackie says.Not all donors are able to save lives. Only one percent of hospital deaths meet the standards of organ donation, but Chris was one of them. Jackie said their children didn't yet know about their father's last act of kindness, but she will share his great stories with them later."I'll make copies of the videos and news stories so we can see how heroic he was." she says.A.B.C.D.What happened to Chris Kmetz on Fed. 23, 2015?He died in a pond.He had a car accident.He became a Superman.He gave away his kidneys.（1）A.B.C.D.Why did Jackie dress her dying husband in a "superdad" shirt?He was a true idol.It was made by her children.He was a Superman fan.It could bring power to him.（2）A.B.C.D.The underlined word "that" in Paragraph 4 refers to .his brainthe damagehis deathorgan donation（3）In what order did the following events take place?A Chris donated his kidneys and saved two lives.B Chris died three days after the accident.C Chris and his two sons were dressed in Superman clothes.（4）A.

The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around."Hello?” sh e called. "Celia? Marie?"There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it “Forgotten Island” because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island,hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends - her, Celia, and Marie.But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault."Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat, "Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill ( 寒意 ) down her back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river.

Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality (VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as "mind wandering". During these events we're not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we're recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feeling.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.28.What is driving the development of virtual tourism?A. Companies seeking to make more money.B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.C. People's demand for more shared experiences.D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.29.Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.30.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Science fiction.B. Virtual technology.C. Virtual tourism.D. The real world.31.What is the purpose pf the passage?A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says, "Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are." The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a "dance". Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and "difference" to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as the may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.32.What do ants and bees have in common?A. They live in similar-sized colonies.B. They make use of collective intelligence.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.33.What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?A. The quality of a new colony location.B. The distance to a neighboring colony.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.34.In paragraph 3, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reasons.C. By referencing opinions.D. By presenting study findings.35. What is the benefit of collective intelligence?A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.C. It reduces the division of labour among members.D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.第二节(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。

The air was cool and bullfrogscroaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed hereyes and looked around."Hello? ”she called. "Celia? Marie?"There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it Island ”bec“a uFsoergotten no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forestrangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was asecret between the three friends - her, Celia, and Marie.But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault."Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat, "Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was ahopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusaltook the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here.As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here byherself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill ( 寒意) downher back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad,who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worriedexpressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fastthe water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly atMarie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.2019.7What can be inferred about the island?A. It is very near the ocean.B.
