The new VR experience was developed by the University of South Australia, hoping to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire. It presents a situation for children aged 10-12. In the situation, they are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins. They take part in a set of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog. The findings showed that over 80% of children could calmly tell the advantages and disadvantages of different choices. They also learned to make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. Children thought it especially important and meaningful, because 91% of them didn’t have knowledge of fires at the beginning, and 67% had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire. The researchers believed such VR experiences made it possible to engage, educate and empower the young. “As children born in modern times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events in a real situation yet within the safe environment,” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide children with surprisingly valuable learning tools.” Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. However, the role that children play in the fire safety at their homes should not be underestimated (低估). “Children don’t need to be always waiting for help in disasters. With these VR experiences, we can make children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案 63. What’s the purpose of the new VR experience? A. To describe children’s reactions to fire disasters. B. To teach children to save themselves in a fire. C. To introduce ways of avoiding a fire to children. D. To increase children’s interest in VR experiences. 64. From the findings, what’s the children’s attitude (态度) towards the new VR experience? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Uncertain. D. Supportive. 65. Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word “engage” in Para. 3? ①to draw one’s attention and keep them interested ②to give somebody a job ③to begin fighting with somebody ④to fit one part of a machine into another so they can work A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 66. From Para. 3, we mainly get to know the ________ of the new VR experience. A. development B. advantages C. quality D. introduction 67. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Children make no difference in the fire safety at their homes. B. VR experiences are mainly designed for children in high school. C. Well-designed VR can offer children amazingly valuable learning tools. D. 91% of children believed they weren’t old enough to make safety decisions. 【答案】63. B 64. D 65. A 66. B 67. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一种新型虚拟现实体验可以帮助孩子们学会如何在火灾中避险求生。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The new VR experience was developed by the University of South Australia, hoping to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire.”可知，这种虚拟现实体验是希望能教育孩子们学习如何在火灾中保持安全。故选B。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The findings showed that over 80% of children could calmly tell the advantages and disadvantages of different choices.

You might have noticed many people choose style over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn't every thing. It’s more important to be healthy. Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets (节食) that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and it can increase risks of falls. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that influence blood circulation (循环) and make it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth risking our health, spending so much time and money? So, let’s rethink what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our health? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, your worth is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person. 68. Why do some people go on extreme diets according to the passage? A. Because the diets are healthy. B. Because they just want to look good. C. Because they want to save time. D. Because they want to save money. 69. What is the writer’s purpose of using a question in each paragraph? A. To ask for help from readers. B. To tell how to spend time and money. C. To describe the latest fashion. D. To lead readers to think about the topic. 70. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Being a certain size. B. Starting extreme diets. C. Following fashion. D. Wearing high heels. 71. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①②③/④⑤ D. ①/②③/④⑤ 72. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Don’t follow fashion. B. People are decided by their look. C. Health is more important than fashion. D. Beauty is more important than health. 【答案】68. B 69. D 70. D 71. A 72.

The new VR experience was developed by the University of South Australia, hoping to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire. It presents a situation for children aged 10-12. In the situation, they are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins. They take part in a set of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog. The findings showed that over 80% of children could calmly tell the advantages and disadvantages of different choices. They also learned to make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. Children thought it especially important and meaningful, because 91% of them didn’t have knowledge of fires at the beginning, and 67% had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire. The researchers believed such VR experiences made it possible to engage, educate and empower the young. “As children born in modern times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events in a real situation yet within the safe environment,” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide children with surprisingly valuable learning tools.” Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. However, the role that children play in the fire safety at their homes should not be underestimated (低估). “Children don’t need to be always waiting for help in disasters. With these VR experiences, we can make children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案 63 What’s the purpose of the new VR experience? A. To describe children’s reactions to fire disasters. B. To teach children to save themselves in a fire. C. To introduce ways of avoiding a fire to children. D. To increase children’s interest in VR experiences. 64. From the findings, what’s the children’s attitude (态度) towards the new VR experience? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Uncertain. D. Supportive. 65. Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word “engage” in Para. 3? ①to draw one’s attention and keep them interested ②to give somebody a job ③to begin fighting with somebody ④to fit one part of a machine into another so they can work A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 66. From Para. 3, we mainly get to know the ________ of the new VR experience. A. development B. advantages C. quality D. introduction 67. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Children make no difference in the fire safety at their homes. B. VR experiences are mainly designed for children in high school. C. Well-designed VR can offer children amazingly valuable learning tools. D. 91% of children believed they weren’t old enough to make safety decisions. （D） Have you ever thought about what’s more important, looking fashionable (时尚的) or feeling comfortable? You might have noticed many people choose style over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn't every thing. It’s more important to be healthy. Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets (节食) that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and it can increase risks of falls. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that influence blood circulation (循环) and make it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth risking our health, spending so much time and money? So, let’s rethink what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our health? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, your worth is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person. 68. Why do some people go on extreme diets according to the passage? A. Because the diets are healthy. B. Because they just want to look good. C. Because they want to save time. D. Because they want to save money. 69. What is the writer’s purpose of using a question in each paragraph? A. To ask for help from readers. B. To tell how to spend time and money. C. To describe the latest fashion. D. To lead readers to think about the topic. 70. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Being a certain size. B. Starting extreme diets. C. Following fashion. D. Wearing high heels. 71. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①②③/④⑤ D. ①/②③/④⑤ 72. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Don’t follow fashion. B. People are decided by their look. C. Health is more important than fashion. D. Beauty is more important than health. 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文章中，使短文的意思通顺，结构完整。 Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work? ____73____ If you do, you need to control your feelings and stop getting angry so easily.
