Unlike its past counterparts, the new glove is lightweight, inexpensive and long-lasting. The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them. The team worked with four people who are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up to 15 times while wearing the glove-like device, simultaneously teaching a machine how to 5 rexire them The glove bss thin, stre:chab!e snsors made from "electrically oondncting yarns (纱线)" that r o each fings sd comvert the movements into sigmals.

D To provide visitors with a special experience, theme parks (主题公园) are putting more money into Virtual Reality (VR) technology. In fact. the lifestyle team of the website, The Week, attended the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo in Orlando. The purpose was to do a study on the implementation ( 实施) of VR technology on roller coasters (过t 车). The team studied 23 roller coaster manufacturers (制造商) in Europe and found that eight of those manufacturers had implemented VR technology into at least one of their roller coasters. Based on their study, it appears that VR technology is already an important and growing factor in the future development of theme parks The theme park industry at first saw VR technology as a cost-saving means to put new life into attractions. In 20l5, companies such as Six Flags began adding VR technology to their roller coasters. It soon became clear, however, that there were many difficulties with implementing VR technology on the rides. Because of the time it took to provide riders with VR headsets (头戴式受 话器), wait times and lines began to increase. Moreover, companies had to train employees how to set up the VR systems and make sure that all headsets were clean. This proved not to be cost-saving so new systems had to be put into place Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, set out to solve these problems by developing a two-part headset for the ride Battle for Eire. The park worked with Falcon's Creative Group to develop this ncw technology, which allowed guests to be fitted with a headpiece while waiting in line. This shortened wait times and provided a cleaner environment. Falcon's Creative Group and Busch Gardens used creative thinking to improve an attraction that was built around VR. According to TEA/AECOM Global Attractions Attendance Report, 20l8 saw more than 252 million people visit the top 25 theme parks in the world. To keep these numbers, it is important that these and other theme-park companies continue to come up with new ideas to create and introduce great attractions -especially those that make use of new VR technology 32. What did The Week find? A. VR technology may greatly influence the future theme parks B Half of the studied theme parks have used VR technology. C. Roller coasters were getting less popular than before D. Theme parks have not realized the importance of VR technology _ 33. What happened after Six Flags used VR technology? A. Visitors thought highily of the imiprovement. B. The number of visitors hugely increased. C. Many unexpected problems appeared D. A lot of money was saved. 34. What did Busch Gardens do? A. It creatively developed a headset B. It employed more workers. C. It worked with other companies to build new theme parks D. It chose to use its traditional technology again 35. What did the author advise theme parks to do? A. To develop creative attractions B. To give up traditional technology. C. To work with other theme parks D. To build new theme parks 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。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 By 205o we'll be able to send memories, emotions and feelings across the Internet. 36 Teenagers will love it.
