A museum in the Netherlands is trying to show visitors more of the objects it has and bring them more excitement.It is using an augmented reality（增强现实）device made by Microsoft to reach its goal.However,the use of this high-technology device started with a basic problem.
The Dutch National Museum of Antiquities does not have enough space to put all of its artifacts（人工制品）on display.So,the museum asked experts at Delft University of Science and Technology to find a way to let more visitors—especially young people—experience what the museum has to offer.
The experts used the Hololens（全息透镜）.It is a computer that shows visitors holograms,or virtual pictures that appear to have three dimensions.
Annelies Maltha,a researcher at the University,says that almost 80 percent of the artifacts at the museum are not shown to the public."So by using the Hololens,"she adds,"people can virtually visit the exhibit and see so much more."
The Dutch National Museum has artifacts like the Egyptian Temple of Teffeh.The structure was reconstructed inside the museum in 1971.It is not currently available to the public.
"The Hololens enables you to have augmented reality,instead of virtual reality,which means you can still see the temple,you can still feel the ancient vibe（氛围）around you,so to speak."The augmented reality technology gives visitors the ability to interact with their surroundings.
The researchers are using the Hololens to make three dimensional images of every room in the temple.Erik Hoglund,another researcher,explains that his team can create 3D models and add different images,movies,or animations.The effect is to make visitors feel like they are interacting with the temple.
The Hololens program is still being developed.But museum officials hope that,in the future,the Hololens will serve as a tour guide for exhibits that have been hidden from public view.

The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years. The Maya were so bright that they achieved a lot. They had farms, temples and cities with many buildings. They knew much about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time.
In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a village with fields of crops around it. The Maya planted seeds after they cleared the land. A farmer was able to grow crops that produced for several people. But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were builders or priests (祭司)．
The Maya believed in many gods. They built large temples to honor them. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult because they had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.
Although the Maya worked hard to build the beautiful cities, very few of them lived in them. Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.
Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from a deadly disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. The lost secrets of the Maya are still beyond the reach of modern people. They are still one of our greatest mysteries.
1.The Maya lived better than most people of their times because ______．
A. they had skillful workers
B. they believed in many gods
C. they knew better about nature
D. they could measure time correctly
2.It can be inferred from the passage that ______．
A. the priests were not highly respected by the ancient Maya
B. the ancient Mayan cities and temples were well built
C. the ancient Mayan people led a happy life in the cities
D. the ancient Mayan people died from a serious disease
3.The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refers to ______．
A. the Mayan people B. the Mayan villages
C. the Mayan cities D. the lost secrets of the Maya
4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Cities of the Maya B. The Belief of the Maya
C. The Maya D. The Buildings of the Maya

It rained very hardly last summer and the little stream near our house became big river. It burst through the bank. The fields all round was soon full of water. Luckily, the water didn’t reach any of the house in our village. But the bursting water from the river carried away our wooden bridge, that was over three hundred of years old. We were very sorry to lose the oldest thing we have had for such a long time. We will build a new bridge, so it will not be so familiar than one we had before!

Los Angeles：Love for Mom is a given，but buying flowers on her big day may not be. A slump in flower sales since late last year was likely to continue through Mother's Day，another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears，which is a period of reduced trade and business activity，and increasing food and gasoline prices.
“If you look at what has happened on Valentine’s Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Eric Bender， an analyst at Bream Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mother's Day will probably be a slow quarter，too.’’ US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion，with consumers spending an average of $17.65.according to the National Retail Federation estimates.
Mother’s Day，which accounts for a one—quarter of annual holiday purchases，according to the Society of American Florists，is traditionally the day when floral bouquets are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers.But this year，the shop-owners are concerned.
Gabriel Soto，who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los Angeles financial district, is expecting lower sales--and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day.
Last month, Solo, who also operates website downtown-flowers, net, closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.
1.The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means__________________________.
A. sharp increase in price B. great fear for losing jobs
C. global worry of floral stores D. sudden fall by a large amount
2.According to the author, Mother's Day should be an occasion of_____________.
A. a large family get-together
B. a big annual holiday purchase
C. a great love showed to mothers
D. a celebration among Americans
3.This passage implies that Americans have___________.
A. met financial problems recently
B. no longer bought flowers for mothers
C. delivered flowers to every house for mothers
D. cut back on spending because of having lost jobs
4.Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Hard time coming nearer
B. Mother’s Day and crisis
C. Sorry mom, love you but no flowers
D. Holiday purchases have a hard time

科目：高中英语 来源：辽宁省鞍山市2017届高三下学期最后一次模拟考试英语试卷 题型：阅读理解
What makes a person a giver or a taker? The idea of “give versus take” takes shape in all relationships of our lives. We're either giving advice, making time for people, or we're on the receiving end. We alternate between the two based on different situations we face on a daily basis, it not an hourly one.
According to Adam Grant, a professor at Pennsylvania University, most people are matchers. They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others without receiving any reward. Actually, most matchers will try to promote and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.
Another professor named Hannah Rile Bowles, from Harvard University, led a study on the idea. She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to negotiate salary promotions. Male employees asked for an average salary of $146 k while the females asked for only $141 k. But why did they not bargain as hard as the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers.
As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge and my care and attention to others. I don't expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I'm being taken for granted. I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed. So it's safe to say I'm 50% giver,35% matcher and 15% taker.
I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They’re devoting their time, sharing valuable insights and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path. Although they've changed the lives of many people, they rarely see any of it returned. But the universe is slowly repaying them; they’re now extremely successful, well known for what they do.
1.In Adam Grant’s opinion, most people .
A. prefer giving to taking
B. prefer taking to giving
C. tend to depend on others
D. tend to balance between giving and taking
2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Cheer myself up. B. Give up on myself.
C. Stay away deliberately. D. Force myself to move forward.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. No good deed goes undone.
B. People who give are worth respecting.
C. Giving is the shortest path to success.
D. Sharing is the greatest human quality.
