8.At Institute for the Future,game designer Jane McGonigal creates massive(大规模的)multi-player free online role-playing games(MMORPGs),which focus on social changes and environmental problems.She hopes that players will use their new skills to make the real world better.
According to Jane,our addiction to gaming is actually a great thing,so long as we use it properly.Speaking at the TED(Technology/Entertainment/Design)2010Conference,Jane says that people should devote more time to games to build the skills necessary to make the world better.People who take part in MMORPGs develop specialized skills in problem-solving as a team.So,if gamers are willing to take part in role-playing games based on real-world problems,they will be able to work together to find ways that can be used in the real world.
Jane focuses on creating the kinds of video games that enable players to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of those around them.In 2007,she helped create a video game called A World Without Oil,in which 1,800players tried to find new ways to transport themselves in a world without oil.Even after completing the game,the players focused on the problem and its possible solutions.Her next game,Evoke,takes an even more practical way.Game players are mainly young people in Africa.They will learn to create a business that will help stop problems such as poverty and AIDS on a local level.By the end of the game,players will be guided by experts on how to start their own businesses.
"We can make any future we imagine and we can play any games we want,"she said at the TED Conference."So let the world-changing games begin."

49.The MMORPGs are created by Jane McGonigal toB.
A.give garners more chances to play online games
B.develop gamers'problem-solving skills
C.help gamers get used to social changes
D.make gamers take proper attitudes towards games
50.Which of the following is true about MMORPGs?C
A.Role-playing games are real-world problems.
B.They take too much of gamers'spare time.
C.The gamers play different roles in the games.
D.They cost garners a lot of money to play.
51.What can we learn from the third paragraph?B
A.A World Without Oil was mainly created for African youth.
B.Gamers can learn how to run a business in Evoke.
C.The garners of A World Without Oil are all environmentalists.
D.The players taking part in Evoke will start their own businesses.
52.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.some popular online games
B.advice on how to play games
C.games to solve real-world problems
D.ways to develop specialized skills.

分析 本文Jane McGonigal 的几个与现实有关的游戏,在 MMORPGs 中,游戏聚焦于社会变化和环保问题,而游戏设计者希望玩家能利用他们在游戏中获得的新技能来解决真实世界的问题,如果玩家愿意参加以真实世界问题为基础的角色扮演游戏,他们将能够在一起工作来找到能够在现实世界里运用的方法;她的下一个游戏Evoke采用了更实用的方法,在游戏里,玩家学会创办一种生意,这种生意能有助于解决贫困和艾滋病问题,在游戏的末尾,玩家被专家指导怎样开始他们自己的生意,

解答 49-52 BCBC
49.B.细节题.根据第一段中which focus on social changes and environmental problems.和She hopes that players will use their new skills to make the real world better可知这种游戏聚焦于社会变化和环保问题,而游戏设计者希望玩家能利用他们在游戏中获得的新技能来解决真实世界的问题,所以答案是B.develop gamers'problem-solving skills 即,游戏的目的是开发玩家解决问题的能力.
50.C.细节题.根据第二段中if gamers are willing to take part in role-playing games based on real-world problems,they will be able to work together to find ways that can be used in the real world可知如果玩家愿意参加以真实世界问题为基础的角色扮演游戏,他们将能够在一起工作来找到能够在现实世界里运用的方法.所以答案是C.The gamers play different roles in the games指玩家可以在游戏中扮演不同的角色.
51.B.细节题.根据第三段中Her next game,Evoke,takes an even more practical way.可知她的下一个游戏采用了更实用的方法.从They will learn to create a business that will help stop problems such as poverty and AIDS on a local level可知在游戏里,玩家学会创办一种生意,这种生意能有助于解决贫困和艾滋病问题;从By the end of the game,players will be guided by experts on how to start their own businesses.可知在游戏的末尾,玩家被专家指导怎样开始他们自己的生意,所以答案是B.Gamers can learn how to run a business in Evoke.
52.C.主旨大意题.根据文章里对于Jane McGonigal 的游戏介绍 MMORPGs 和A World Without Oil以及Evoke可知这些游戏都与现实有关,所以答案是C.games to solve real-world problems.

16.We arrived on Christmas morning,at Bridgetown Harbor in Barbados.Our crew on the Olympia Voyager has warned and rewarned us of the dangers of exploring the 166-square mile island-country on our own.But my wife,Kate,said all she wanted to do was go for a quick swim and do a bit of walking near the harbor.Despite my misgivingswe were one of the first couples off the gangplank(跳板).
"Let's grab a local taxi and take it to a beach,"said Kate."What if we miss returning to the Olympia Voyager before she sails?"I asked.
"You worry too much."
A twenty-year rusty car stopped,and a smiling man who claimed to be a taxi driver reported he was ready to take us swimming.
"How much?"I asked.
"Five dollars,"he said.
His name was Vincent Clarke,who did not appear to have any guns or knives.
"Sounds fine,"said Kate.She started to get in the taxi.
"Just hold on,"I said."I want to ask Vincent a question or two."
"Ask me anything,"he said."I have no secrets."
"We have been told that you may take us into the hills and rob us and kill us."
"No,I will not harm you.It is a serious crime to kill a tourist.I will cost you five dollars and I promise you that I will get you back to the Olympia in plenty of time."
"Let's go,"said Kate.She got in.
We drove for about three minutes and parked at a beach,and while Kate swam,Vincent and I talked as Christmas music played on his taxi radio.Some time later,Kate retimed to the taxi.Then Vincent drove us to the power plant,and a university,and then we sped through a poverty-stricken area.When we arrived,Vincent charged us twenty dollars.Five dollars a person each way.The tour,he said,was free.
Free indeed!
I thanked Vincent for not killing us and only charging us four times his original quote(报价).
