I actually got a VR headset ( 耳机) as a New Year present from my friend and started searching for apps online to see whether it could be useful in my classroom. I soon found a free app through Google Cardboard and knew I had a lesson!To use VR in the classroom, you need two things: a smartphone that can download the app or video, and a headset. To find the actual videos we'd be watching,I searched through free VR apps like Orbulus, Trench Experience VR and Cardboard.I also found hundreds of videos on YouTube. The key is to find videos made with the 360 cameras. While they don't give the kids a 3-D experience like the apps, they are still amazingly immersive ( 沉浸式虚拟现实的) when viewed through the headsets.So far we've had three lessons. I first used the headsets with my seventh grade U. S. History class. The Trench app allows students to “walk” through a trench ( 战壕) during World War I and learn about many of the tools used during that time. My second activity was working with the sixth grade Geography class. They used the headsets strictly as viewers to watch a 360 video taking them through a rocky landscape. My final activity was the most interesting one, according to the reactions ( 反应) of my eighth grade Civics students. I was able to find a White House 360 tour that was made a few years ago.For the rest of this year, I plan to continue using apps and 360 videos in my classes. Next year I'm going to write to my boss asking for a 360 video camera so thatI can begin to create my own VR field trips for the students.24.

Aged 78, he is one of the workers with first-hand experience of this international adventure: the rescue of the Ramesses II temples in Egypt from the rising waters of the Aswan High Dam.A green hand from the marble ( 大理石) caves of Carrara who helped cut the temples of Abu Simbel into blocks, Paoli attended the event celebrating the 50th anniversary ( 周年纪念) of the adventure, hosted by Salini Impregilo and the Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum) in Turin, Italy.On February 4, 2019, the rescue of the world heritage site was celebrated at an event held at the museum with Chief Executive Pietro Salini, Museo Egizio Director Christian Greco and UNESCO Regional Director Ana Luiza Thompson-Flores attending.“Taking down two temples piece by piece, putting them back together elsewhere and perfectly rebuilding the landforms (地貌) around them was a great idea and showed us a new frontier (领域) for cultural pro tection,” said Salini. “It also showed the world that progress did not have to come at the expense of a world heritage site. Today, 50 years after this fantastic project, we remember with great admiration all those people from different countries and cultures, who, with their unique skills, achieved this impressive achievement for future generations.”The work of moving the temples, in which Impregilo took part, was done with the support of 50 countries and some 2, 000 people in little more than 1,100 days.This unique project is also being celebrated with the publication of “Nubiana”, a multimedia tome ( 多媒体巨著) that tells the story of the temples built more than3,000 years ago in honour of the great Pharaoh Ramesses II. It also describes the engineering challenges of their rescue by international teamwork.28. Why did Paoli leave Carrara at age 26?A. To learn stone-cutting skills.B.

What do we kn ow about “Nubiana”?A. It is the fruit of international effort.B. It is part of the anniversary celebration.C. It is in honour of the Pharaoh Ramesses II.D. It shows the engineering of building temples.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Impregilo's huge success as an organiser.B. Paoli's great achievement as a stone-cutter.C.

Evaluations are being made about your luck, your personality, future development and how you will do in a given year. So what is the Chinese zodiac, exactly? It's a 12-year cycle labeled ( 标记) with animals, starting with a Rat and ending with a Pig. For example, if you were born in 2004, you are a Monkey.The Chinese believe some animals are luckier than the others, such as the Dragon. Unlike in Western tradition, the Chinese Dragon stands for power, strength and wealth. It's everyone's dream to have a Dragon baby. Ma Yun's parents must have been very proud. And they are not the only ones. In 2012, the Year of the Dragon, the birthrate in China increased by about 5%. That means another one million more babies. With a traditional preference for baby boys, the boy-girl ratio that year was120 to 100. When those Dragon boys grow up, they will face much more serious competition in love and job markets.According to the BBC and Chinese government reports, January 2015 saw a peak of cesarean sections ( 剖腹产术高峰). Why? That was the last month for the Year of the Horse. It's not because they like horses so much, it's because they try to avoid having unlucky Goat babies.Tiger is another unwelcome animal, because of its dangerous and unstable ( 不稳定的) personality. Many Chinese places saw a considerable decline of birthrate during those years.Perhaps one should consider zodiac in a different way, as those Tiger and Goat babies will face much less competition. Maybe they are the lucky ones. I went through the Forbes top 300 richest people in the world, and it's interesting to see the most unwelcome two animals, the Goat and Tiger, are at the top of the list, even higher than the Dragon. So maybe we should consider that it's much better to have less competition.32. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Dragon boys are much more competitive when growing up.B. There were about one million dragon babies in 2012.C. There were 20% more boys than girls born in 2012.D. Ma Yun is proud that he is a Dragon.33. Why was there a peak of cesarean sections in January 2015?A. People wanted to have Horse babies very much.B. People considered Goat babies to be unlucky.C. It's the first month of the year.D. People tried to avoid dangers.34. What does the underlined word “decline” in Par agraph 4 probably mean?A. Drop.B. Need.C. Increase.D. Change.35. What does the author say about Tiger and Goat babies?A. They have fewer competitors.B. They are difficult to get along with.C. They will be more popular in job markets.D. They will become richer than Dragon babies.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
