" shouted mom and dad from the next room．They came into the kitchen and saw Marty was looking around for a gift．"I guess you think we forgot to get you a gift ，" said mom．Marty looked confused．"Well，you usually put my giftin the kitchen，" Marty said．Dad told Marty to follow him outside the house in the yard．"This is fantastic!" shouted Marty．"I don't take many pictures，and I probably wouldn't use the basketball much，and my bike is okay for now．But I will use the telescope! Thanks so much．" "You're welcome，" said mom anddad．All that night，Marty saw many beautiful stars and even the planet Mars．Marty would remember his tenth birthday for the rest of his life !24.What did Marty hope to get as a birthday gift most？______A.

Leia has lived a life of volunteering for years．B. Leia and her brother helped their mom for years．C. Leia was born in a great family of volunteering．D. Leia's mom set up an organization for homeless teens．28.Leia's products meet homeless people's needs mostly because ______ ．A. they are cheap and naturalB. they can offer personal choicesC. they are used to drive away mosquitoesD. they can serve three purposes with little water29.According to the passage，we know that ______ ．A. Leia invented the product in order to win the MASTERS competitionB. Leia's invention came from her will to create and to help othersC. The family influence played a decisive role in Leia's inventionD. Leia believed that science could help solve problems easilyDVirtual （虚拟的）reality is a way to create a computer-made environment that brings the user into a virtual world．If you ever have put on a VR headset，you would know exactly what I am talking about．From an experiential view we do understand the idea，but what about the technical backend that goes into making it all possible？In this blog，we will understand the technology behind virtual reality and the basic terms about the development of a virtual ecosystem for a VR headset．The primary subject of virtual reality is simulating （模拟）the vision．Every headset is to perfect their method to create an immersive （浸人式）3D environment．Each VR headset puts up a screen or two in front of eyes，keeping the user away from any interaction with the real world．Two autofocus lenses （自动对焦镜片）are generally placed between the screen and the eyes that change based on eye movement and positioning．The vision appears on the screen either by using a mobile phone or HDMI line connected to a PC．To create a truly immersive virtual reality，there are certain requirements - a frame rate （帧率）of at least 60 fps，a refresh rate and at least 100-degree field of view （though 180 degrees is perfect）．If either of these doesn't work according to the standards，the user will experience too big of a time difference between their actions and the response from the screen．We need the response to be less than 20 ms （1/1000 second）to fool the brain which is achieved by joining all the above in the right proportion （比例）．Another matter that needs to be looked at here is to prevent netsickness because of the differences between the frame rate and refresh rate．Apart from the image，there are certain other things that go into creating an immersive VR experience，holding the user's attention completely in the virtual environment．For example，sound effects，when put with the image，can create very attractive effects．By using a headphone and 3D sound effects，the user can totally believe in the virtual environment．While perfecting sound effects，proper care needs to be taken about the consistency （一致）between the pictures and the sound．If you start playing frightening music in the background of a happy scene，it will just put the user off．In future，we will see rapid progress in creating a truly immersive digital experience．With leading players like Google，Microsoft，Oculus，and HTC making great efforts to improve the capabilities （性能），we are not far from achieving a virtual reality that would feel so much better than the real world．If you would like to develop a VR app for your business，then feelfree to get in touch．With over 10 years of experience in mobile technologies，we can make every dream a reality．30. A VR headset helps the user ______ ．A. create the vision on the screenB. understand the technical backendC. better experience a 3D environmentD. keep interaction with the real world31.The words " put the user off" in Paragraph 4 probably mean " ______ "A. take the user's attention awayB. get the user interestedC. hold the user's imagination backD. help the user understand32.What is the main purpose of writing this passage？______A.

schools in Shanghai are now encouraging "paperless"homework．Instead of writing with a pen，children can finish their homework simply by "surfing and typing" on their iPad screens．Many people welcome the use of this new technology in schools．And it isn't difficult to understand why digital homework could be the next big thing in education ：it reduces waste；makes it easier for teachers to collect homework；and now that everything else is digitalized，homework should too．But there's an overlooked downside to online homework，as it shows an alarming trend （趋势）：how technology is affecting physical handwriting．In today's digital age，handwriting is already a weakening skill．Can you remember the last time you used a pen？For me，it was when I had to fill out a form at work．To be honest，I couldn't write quite a few characters and had to type them on my iPhone to remind me of how to write them correctly．I know I'm not alone．There are more saying they share similar embarrassment （尴尬）when asked to write by hand．In a time when computers，smart phones and keyboards are widely used in the world，is handwriting even important？The answer is yes．Handwriting plays an important role in the learning process．Writing a character is more difficult than typing．It requires the body and mind work together actively．So for school-age children，writing not only allows them to memorize characters，but also trains their brains the way typing can't．Too many children，lost in technology，lie on a sofa or in bed with their smartphones or iPads - a seldom mentioned side effect of modern technology，which may lead to physical problems later．All said，I'm not saying that digital homework should be canceled．Digitalization is anunstoppable trend．But for courses such as Chinese and English language，I hope to see digital homework introduced later into the courses，at least after children have had the ability to write characters and spell words well．How do children finish their paperless homework？______Why do many people welcome digital homework？______What happened when the writer used a pen to fill out a form at work？______Why is handwriting important for school-age children？______What does the writer think of digital homework？______五、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共30.0分）35.根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作．文中已给出内容不计入总数．所给提示词语仅供选用．请不要写出你的校名和姓名．假如你是李华，你们学校将要举办一场阅读沙龙（Reading

screens．（上海许多小学现在鼓励使用"无纸"作业．孩子们可以通过在他们的iPad屏幕上"上网和打字"来完成他们的作业，而不用笔）可得出答案．2．Because it reduces waste；makes it easier for teachers to collect homework；and now that everything else is digitalized，homework should too．细节理解题．根据And it isn't difficult to understand why digital homework could be the next big thing in education ：it reduces waste；makes it easier for teachers to collect homework；and now that everything else is digitalized，homework should too．（不难理解电子作业会是教育界中的下一个大事件：它减少了浪费；使老师收作业更容易；现在其他一切东西都电子化了，作业也应该这样）可得出答案．3．He/She couldn't write quite a few characters and had to type them on his/her iPhone to remind he/her of how to write them correctly．细节理解题．根据Can you remember the last time you used a pen？For me，it was when I had to fill out a form at work．To be honest，I couldn't write quite a few characters and had to type them on my iPhone to remind me of how to write them correctly．（你能够记得你上次使用笔是什么时候吗？对我来说，是我不得不填个表格时．说实话，我写不出很多汉字了，不得不在iPhone上把它们打出来以提醒我如何把它们写正确）可得出答案．4．Handwriting plays an important role in the learning process．Writing a character is more difficult than typing．It requires the body and mind work together actively．细节理解题．根据In a time when computers，smart phones and keyboards are widely used in the world，is handwriting even important？The answer is yes．Handwriting plays an important role in the learning process．Writing a character is more difficult than typing．It requires the body and mind work together actively．（在电脑、智能手机和键盘被广泛使用的时代，书写还重要吗？答案是肯定的．书写在学习过程中起着重要的作用．写一个汉字比打一个汉字要难，它要求身体和大脑能活跃地配合）可得出答案．5．He/She thinks that it is an unstoppable trend．But for courses such as Chinese and English language，it should be introduced later into the courses．细节理解题．根据Digitalization is an unstoppable trend．But for courses such as Chinese and English language，I hope to see digital homework introduced later into the courses，at least after children have had the ability to write characters and spellwords well．（数字化是一个无法阻挡的趋势．但对于像语文和英语这样的课程，我希望看到数字作业被晚一点引入课程中，至少是在孩子们已经有能力把汉字写好并能拼写好单词以后）可得出答案．本文介绍了电子作业的使用对书写的影响．此题较难，需要带着问题读文章，此题需要在理解细节信息的条件下，能自己组织语言写出答案．35.【答案】Dear Tim，How is everything going？ There'll

lot from you about reading．learn sth from sb向某人学习．这句话意为：我希望我们能向您学习阅读．在解答写作这类试题时，要根据短文的中心思想考虑如何开头、展开和结尾，设想几个承上启下的连词，将主要句型、关键词语草草记下，形成提纲，写时切忌结构分散，废话连篇，严重跑题．36.【答案】It's one of our traditional virtues to
