【题目】 Some people think going to the gym takes time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely boring.Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps(几次几组).In order to see any significant change from any one exercise,it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, for a minimum of three sets, for about three months: Then there' s aerobics(有氧运动).For some, there's nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill(跑步机).
But what if there is a way to reduce the boredom of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us, there’s virtual reality (VR).
“In the past, playing video games was a sedentary(久坐不动的) experience:,"says Jo Stauffer of the VR Heaitn-institute, but VR changes all of that.” Many, VR games are played while standing In order to play properly, the players are forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs.After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it's not surprising, that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter .There are already a number of virtual reality games which, deliberately or not, result in their player “getting a good sweat on” if played for enough time.For example, there's a music game which forces players to shadow box(做空拳攻防练习) in order to hit the notes---that's an upper-body workout.
The benefit of VR has been noticed by one company.They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual competitor in a series of games,which results in a 30-minute full-body workout.However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out, says J.P.Gownder from the consultancy Forrester.
Although it's early days, for those: of us who struggle to overcome the boredom of exercise,a new solution could be coming.And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want-virtual or not.So don' t give up exercising.
【1】What conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?
A.Most weight-related exercises nearly have no effect.
B.Some people think exercising in the gym is difficult and tiring.
C.Running on a treadmill wont bring significant change.
D.You'd better not go to the gym because of the risk of injury.
【2】Compared with video games, VR games____________.
A.bring more fun to play.
B.take people less free time.

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍“在健身房里进行的虚拟锻炼”。对一些人来说,没有什么比在跑步机上无休止地跑几英里更无聊的了。“一个人可以同时锻炼和娱乐,不管是不是虚拟的”,这是人们所想要的。所以不要放弃锻炼。
【1】推理判断题。根据第一段“ Some people think going to the gym takes time and effort, it often hurts,and it can be extremely boring.Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps(几次几组).In order to see any significant change from any one exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, for a minimum of three sets.for about three months.”可知,一些人认为去健身房需要时间和精力,经常会受伤,而且会非常无聊。大多数与体重有关的锻炼是几组练习和重复动作的组合。为了从任何一项运动中看出任何显著的变化,它可能需要重复六到八次,至少三组,持续大约三个月。由此可推知,一些人认为去健身房锻炼既艰难又累人。故选B项。
【2】推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知, Jo Stauffer认为过去玩电子游戏是一种久坐不动的经历。再根据第三段“ Many VR games are played while standing.In order to play properly, the players are forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs.After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it's not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter.:”可知,很多虚拟现实游戏都是站着玩的。为了玩好,玩家被迫走来走去,摆动他们的手臂或使用他们的腿。经常这样玩一小时后,许多人意外地发现自己更健康一点并不奇怪。由此可推知,与电子游戏相比,虚拟现实游戏更可能给人们带来健康的好处。故选C项。
【3】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out, says J.P.Gownder”可知,J,P.Gonder说设备的费用昂贵,且有一些安全问题有待解决。由此可看出对抗机器有缺点。故选B项。
【4】主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍一些人认为去健身房锻炼使人筋疲力尽。第二、三段介绍了虚拟现实游戏可以减缓运动的无聊、活动人的全身,经常玩的话可以使人们更健康。第四段介绍了一家公司认识到了虚拟现实的好处,想将其引入健身馆,正在研发一种对抗机器,使人们得到全身的锻炼。文章最后一段劝诫人们不要放弃锻炼。A项“在健身房进行虚拟锻炼”适合作为文章的标题。故选A项。

【题目】 Hi, I’m Neil Harbisso. I come from a place where the sky is always grey, where flowers are always grey, and where television is still in black and white.
I actually come from a world where color doesn’t exist. I was born with achromatopsia. I was born completely color-blind. So I’ve never seen color, and don’t know what it looks like. But since the age of 21, I can hear color thanks to a magic electronic eye called “eyeborg”: a color sensor between my eyes connected to a chip(芯片) installed at the back of my head that transforms color frequencies into sound frequencies that I hear through my bone.
I’ve had the electronic eye permanently attached to my head and I’ve been listening to colors nonstop since 2004. So I find it completely normal now to hear colors all the time.
Since I started to hear color, my life has changed significantly. Art galleries have become concert halls. I can hear a Picasso. And supermarkets have become like night clubs. I love how they sound.
My sense of beauty has changed. Someone might look very beautiful but sound terrible, and someone might sound very harmonious but look awful. So I find it really exciting to create sound portraits(画像) of people. Instead of drawing the shape of someone’s face I write down the different notes I hear when I look at them, and then I send them an mp3 of their face. Each face sounds different. I can even give face concerts now, concerts where I play the audience’s faces. The good thing about doing this is that if the concert doesn’t sound good, it’s their fault.
I also found out that things I thought were colorless are not colorless at all. Cities are not grey. Lisbon is yellow turquoise(宝石绿); London is very golden red…and humans are not black and white. Human skins range from light shades of orange to very dark shades of orange. We are all orange.
If we extend our senses, we will consequently extend our knowledge.
【1】We can infer from the article that people with achromatopsia ____________.
A.suffer from blindness
B.have a good sense of colors
C.are not able to see colors
D.like to go to concert halls and supermarkets
【2】What does the author mean by saying “Art galleries have become concert halls”?
A.Art galleries have been changed into various sounds.
B.Works at the art galleries are created by great musicians.
C.Art galleries are filled with noisy people.
D.The author now likes art galleries as much as concert halls.
【3】Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
A.Neil developed a rare disease in his childhood.
B.The eyeborg produces sounds based on shades of colors.
C.Neil will use the eyeborg for the rest of his life.
D.In Neil’s mind, all people are orange.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Eyeborg – a real life saver.B.I listen to color.
C.Sense the world.D.Art galleries turned into concert halls.

【题目】(题文)Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable. Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.
The ridge (脊状) structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.
Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink. They can be recorded easily. With special methods, identification (识别)can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity and low cost of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.
When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to “print” them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.
【1】(小题1)Scientists and experts have proved that the pattern of a human being's finger skin____.
A. is similar to his mother's
B. is valuable to himself only
C. is like that of others with the same type of blood
D. is different from that of all others
【2】(小题2)If your fingers are wounded by knife, fire or other means, the structure of skin will _____.
A. be changed partly B. be replaced by a different one
C. be the same when the wound is recovered D. become ugly
【3】(小题3)Some criminals remove their own finger-prints by ______.
A. using printer's ink B. injuring the inner skin
C. damaging the outer skin D. damaging the colour
【4】(小题4)Finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case because it ______.
A. is complicated but reliable B. is simple and not expensive
C. is expensive but easy to do D. can bring a lot of money

There are many people who help me a lot, among whom are my English teacher, Miss Zhao. I still remember being asked a question in his class, but I fail to answer it. I was very embarrassed that I burst into tear. She didn’t blame for me. Instead, she encouraged me with a smile, saying best way to face failure was to keep try and that no success could be achieved without failure. That she said struck me deep at that time, which made me study much harder than before. Now, as a senior three student, I make it my motto: Never give up, and you’ll succeed in time.
