    13．Many Shopping malls now have special areas that offer shoppers their first chance to experience"VR technology"．You may have entered one out of curiosity，or you may think it is just another piece of useless technology．Whatever your opinion，VR，or virtual （虚拟的） reality，is going to become a big part of our lives very soon．
    2016saw the introduction of many fancy products in the world of VR，including Microsoft's HoloLens and Samsung's Gear VR．All of them offer an exciting look at the new realities"and opportunities that VR brings．
    These，however，are the early days of a technology that is expected to go from strength to strength．And 2017looks like it is going to be the year in which VR technology really takes off．
    For a start，using VR will become more normal in 2017．Microsoft and Intel have already discussed their plans for simpler and less expensive VR headsets．
    The idea of VR will stop being a sci-fi （science-fiction） idea，and instead it will turn into an industry of real products used as ways to show off imagination．"said Andrew，a designer at US VR Company，Survios．
    It is also expected that VR products will play a part in more common and real-life fields like fashion and film．For example，to enjoy the atmosphere and energy of the front row experience at a fashion show，fans will no longer have to go along in the flesh．Instead people will be able to enjoy the experience by just wearing a VR headset at home．
    You can also expect VR mirrors and fitting-rooms sooner rather than later．''This is an especially good opportunity for brands looking to offer very personalized experiences．''said Roy DeYoung from US-based marketing agency，PMX．
    As time goes on，there will be less discussion about whether people will accept VR technology．It will simply be a discussion of when．

    32．Why do many shopping malls have areas for VR experiences？D
    A．To collect shoppers'opinions．
    B．To meet the demands of shoppers．
    C．To entertain shoppers with new technology．
    D．To introduce the new technology to shoppers．
    33．What does the underlined phrase"in the fleshA"mean？
    A．in person B．in time C．in line D．in order
    34．What can we know about VR products from the passage？C
    A．They are not expensive at present．
    B．They are being used almost everywhere．
    C．They will meet more personal demands．
    D．They won't be accepted for many years．
    35．What may be the best title for I lie passage？A
    A．VR Is Becoming Real 
    B．VR Mirror Are Coming
    C．VR Takes over Fashion 
    D．VR Meets our Life Goal．

    4．When I was a little girl，my mum would say，"Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others．"1（36）B．
    Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our success and our joys，comfort us in our hard moments，and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves．I've always looked at friends as the family we choose．They enrich our lives．As Robert Louis Stevenson once said，"（37）E"
    To be a good friend or partner，it's important to be a good listener．Hear what your friend or mate has to say．first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive．（38）DWhen they hear their words repeated back to them，it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly what they meant to say （39）GYou know the old golden rule，"Care for others the way you would like them to care for you．"The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure．Encouragement and confidence are the gifts that can help change a person's life．
    Take care，though，with whom you choose to have close relationship，for they can have a great effect on your self-respect and life path．As someone once told me，"（40）FThey will take you either up or down．"

    A．I am afraid so．
    B．It is quite true．
    C．Friendship is the most important factor．
    D．Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror．
    E．A friend is a present which you give yourself．
    F．The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on a lift．
    G．Patience，sympathy and understanding are also important qualities．

    1．We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively．We achieve it actively by direct experience，by testing and proving an idea，or by reasoning．
    We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else．Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive．Conditioned as we are to passive learning，it's not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers．
    Unfortunately，passive learning has a serious problem．It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay（传闻） and rumor．
    Did you ever play the game Rumor？It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn't show it to anyone．Then the person whispers it，word for word，to another person．That person，in turn，whispers it to still another，and so on，through all the people playing the game．The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it．Then the two written statements are compared．Typically，the original message has changed．
    That's what happens in daily life．The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story．Then，too，most people listen imperfectly．And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story，trying to improve on it，stamping it with their own personal style．Yet those who hear it think they know．
    This process is also found among scholars and authors：A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another，who may in turn be quoted by yet another； and this process may continue，unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts．

    5．According to the passage，active learning may occur inC．
    A．reading scientific journals
    B．listening to the teacher in class
    C．doing a chemical experiment
    D．watching news programmes on TV
    6．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 2 refer to？D
    A．Classroom．B．Newspapers．C．Active learning．D．Passive learning．
    7．The game Rumor is mentioned in Paragraph 4 in order to tell readers thatC．
    A．playing games can make people more active
    B．people tend to like telling lies when playing games
    C．a message may be changed when being passed on
    D．people may have problems with their sense of hearing
    8．What can be inferred from the text？B
    A．Scholars and authors can't be trusted．
    B．Passive learning may not be reliable．
    C．People like spreading rumors in daily life．
    D．Active learning is more Important than passive learning．

    8．My husband and I had been married nearly twenty-two years when I acquired Stevens-Johnson syndrome，a disorder where my immune（免疫的） system responded to a virus by producing painful blisters．Although my long-term evaluation was good，I，who had been so fiercely independent，rapidly became absolutely helpless．
    My husband，Scott，stepped up to the plate，taking care of kids and cooking dinners．He also became my personal caretaker，applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my hands couldn't do the job．Needless to say，I had negative emotions，bouncing from embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself．
    I recovered from my illness，but I couldn't seem to recover from the thought that I loved my husband less than he loved me．This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the year following my illness．
    Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride．He's an experienced cyclist； I'm quite the green hand．At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs，I really thought I couldn't go any further．Seeing me struggle，Scott pulled in front of me and yelled over his shoulder，"Stay close behind me．"As I followed his steps，I discovered that my legs quit burning and I was able to catch my breath．My husband was pulling me along-again．
    I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy．But if he should ever become the struggling one，whether on a bike ride or with an illness，I trust I'll be ready to call out to him，"Stay close behind me-my turn to pull you along．"

    A．Impatient．
    B．Independent．
    C．Family-centered．
    D．Career-centered．
    26．When going on the long bike ride，the author's husbandB．
    A．followed her closely
    B．backed her up all the way
    C．gave in to her depression
    D．stopped to take care of her leg

    18．No matter who you are，where you live，how much you make，your life is on a certain path．It is similar to a train in a track．You know there are going to be many ups and downs．（36）F
    If you like where you're headed，you can sit back and enjoy the ride．（37）G The only solution is to change you destination．It means you have to jump on a whole new set of tracks．But how do you do that？
    There is one way to change direction to create a better，fuller，richer life：incremental（递增的） change．（38）A You can easily improve anything in your life by means of incremental change．
    （39）B It's making small and continuous progress toward a desired goal．It's paying﹩50 a month toward your﹩3，000 of credit card debt．It's cutting your nightly dessert or taking the stairs to burn a few extra calories．
    Incremental change is not difficult at all．（40）D Your 20-minute afternoon walk will help you become healthier．The problem with incremental change for most people is that it's too slow．But small and continuous actions tend to create small and continuous improvements．

    5．Whenever we see a button，we are eager to press it because we know something will happen．This is true in most cases，for example on a doorbell and on the"on/off"button on the TV．But some buttons are actually fake，like the"close"button on a lift．
    Many people are in the habit of pressing the"close"button because they don't have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut．But lifts'"close"buttons are a complete scam （骗局），at least in the US--the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press．
    It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US，making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter．Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys．
    But to normal lift riders，the buttons aren't completely useless．According to psychologists，fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control．
    "Perceived （能够感知的） control is very important．It reduces stress and increases well-being，"Ellen J．Langer，a psychology professor，said，"having a lack of control is associated with depression．"
    Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose． For example，many offices in the US have fake thermostats （温度调节器） because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace．
    But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little"white lies"，they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close，it is considered to be worth the effort．
    "That habit is here to stay，"John Kounios，a psychology professor，said．"Even though I have real doubts about the traffic light buttons，I always press them．After all，I've got nothing else to do while waiting．So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work？"

    25．What was the author's main purpose in writing the article？A
    A．To analyze the functions of fake buttons．
    B．To describe some different kinds of fake buttons．
    C．To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons．
    D．To explore people's different habits when it comes to pushing buttons．
    26．In America，the"close"buttons on liftsA．
    A．are fake for the convenience of disabled people
    B．work only when people press them hard for a while
    C．were specially designed to give people a sense of control
    D．cannot speed up the process of closing the door in any case
    27．The underlined part"for this same purpose"in Paragraph 6refers toB．
    A．making people more patient
    B．giving people perceived control
    C．helping people to build up confidence
    D．making people with depression feel better
    28．According to John Kounios，people who press fake buttonsB．
    A．should give up this habit
    B．probably do so to kill time
    C．consider what they do to be meaningless
    D．don't know that what they press is fake．

    3．Rod Kalin learned the secret to success while he was young．As a child，he liked playing with a stuffed （填充） rabbit his mother had made．"At that time，I knew he would become a craftsman （工匠）in the future，"Kalin's mother said．
    Kalin's father was a carpenter and taught him early how to use his hands．In high school，Kalin was so interested in photography that he cut class to take photos 18 hours a day．Eventually Kalin ended up at New York University．One night，his landlord asked him to build a website for his restaurant．"I didn't know anything about websites，but I built the basic site by looking through books in four weeks，"Kalin recalls．
    After working on a craft site that provided"advice and a lot of hand-holding"，Kalin recognized that there was no market for their goods．He wrote a fan letter to Stewart Butterfield，the founder of Flickr，who had sold his highly popular photo-sharing website to Yahoo!Impressed by Kalin's letter，he took a look at Kalin's idea and invited him to San Francisco for a month in 2006．He taught Kalin how to build a website，and helped him borrow﹩615，000 from a bank．
    With the help of Stewart，Kalin was able to create etsy．com，an online craft fair that may be the largest market for hand made goods in the world．Last year，350，000 woodworkers and other craftsmen sold their one-of-a-kind goods on the four-year-old site．It sells everything from hand-knitted T-shirts to wooden electric guitars．In an age of chain stores and malls，it seems there's still a big market for the unique：custom-made skirts and hand-painted tea sets．Today，Etsy's staff has increased to 70 employees，and more than three million consumers in 150 countries are buying goods on Etsy every year．

    21．It can be learned from the passage that Rob KalinC．
    A．opened a restaurant after graduation
    B．was good at building websites at university

    D．Strict and brave．
    23．What can we learn about Etsy from the passage？B
