Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I had heard about VR (虚拟现实) being used in the classroom but didn't think I'd ever try it.I actually got a VR headset (耳机) as a New Year present from my friend and started searching for apps online to see whether it could be useful in my classroom.I soon found a free app online and knew I had a lesson!
To use VR in the classroom,you need two things: a smartphone that can download (下载) apps or videos, and a headset.To find the actual videos we'd be watching, I searched through free VR apps.I also found hundreds of videos on the Internet.The key is to find videos made with the 360 cameras.While they don't give the kids a 3D experience like the apps, they are still amazingly immersive (沉浸式虚拟现实的) when viewed through the headsets.
So far we've had three lessons.I first used the headsets with my seventh grade US History class.The Trench app allowed students to “walk” through a trench (战壕) during World War Ⅰ and learnt about many of the tools used during that time.My second activity was working with the sixth grade Geography class.They used the headsets strictly as viewers to watch a 360 video taking them through a rocky landscape.My final activity was the most interesting one, according to the reactions of my eighth grade Civics students.I was able to find a White House 360 tour that was made a few years ago.
For the rest of this year, I plan to continue using apps and 360 videos in my classes.Next year I'm going to write to my boss asking for a 360 video camera so that I can begin to create my own VR field trips for the students.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在所教班级尝试利用虚拟现实技术教学的经历。

解析:选C 代词指代题。由第二段最后两句可知,作者认为找视频时关键是找到用全景摄像机拍摄的视频,虽然它们(这些视频)给孩子们的三维体验不如那些应用程序,但是它们依然能让孩子们沉浸在虚拟现实中。故“they”指代上文的“videos”。

B.The Science lesson.
C.The Geography lesson.
D.The US History lesson.
解析:选A 细节理解题。由第三段中的“My final activity was the most interesting one, according to the reactions of my eighth grade Civics students.”可知,八年级的市政课堂的VR课是最受学生欢迎的。

Need an app for that? Anvitha Vijay, 10, can build it.With the help of online videos, the young expert from Melbourne, Australia, learned to code at age 7.Soon, she was trying her hand at making apps.
“When I first got my tablet PC, I was fascinated by all the apps on it,” she said.“It wasn't long before I wanted to create my own.”
She built her first two apps with her younger sister in mind.Smartkins Animals helps children identify more than 100 animals and their sounds.Smartkins Rainbow Colors teaches kids colors.Each app has been downloaded thousands of times.
Anvitha's skills won her a scholarship to attend a big tech conference (会议) hosted by a high-tech company in San Francisco, California.There, she got tips from the pros.She went to workshops where she learned about the latest software for app building.
All that training led to an idea for a third app.This one, called GoalsHi, inspires kids to practice good habits.Users are rewarded for achieving goals, such as eating their vegetables or practicing piano.Anvitha says the rewards are like getting a sticker for a job well done.
“Kids can set goals with this app and get stars when they achieve them,” she says.“The idea is to enable and motivate kids to achieve one little step a day.”
Anvitha's goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun.But even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids' hands.“The more training we get in tech at an early age,” she says, “the better chance we have of becoming innovation champions who will one day change the world.”

A.Users can be given real vegetables with their goals achieved.
B.Users can play the piano at home when they achieve their goals.
C.Users can win a scholarship when they achieve their goals.

Having a private life is becoming more and more difficult.The thing is that today everything we do is recorded on computers.We cannot even order a pizza without being asked our phone number.
For some people, it might be a problem.A total stranger can, with one touch of his computer, have all the information about your life.That's the price we pay as our world moves with technology.Soon we will just have to put our thumb on a screen and everything about our private life will appear.
It is up to us to fix the limits to invasion of our privacy.For example, when people become famous, they lose their privacy; but for them that's a personal choice.We cannot be rich and famous and walk on a crowded avenue without being recognized by people.
What troubles me is why people want to put their noses in each other's business.Private investigators are a good example of how some people are paid to look into and spy on the private lives of people.The worst thing is that not only are they paid to do their jobs, but they often overcharge for their work.This job has to be forbidden because it is against the right to have a private life.
The fact that anyone can eavesdrop (偷听) on other people does not really bother me; I think that it is human nature to be curious.What does bother me, however, is that some people do it for the purpose of hurting someone.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了随着科技的发展,我们想拥有隐私变得越来越难,因为我们无论做什么事情都需要提供个人信息,这将给一些人带来麻烦。
9.What does the writer want to say in this passage?
A.New technologies affect our life.
B.It is difficult to have a private life.
C.Your phone number is not a secret.
D.Computers can record everything.
解析:选B 主旨大意题。文章的第一句“Having a private life is becoming more and more difficult.”为全文主题句,后面都是围绕这个论点展开的,故可推断这正是作者在文章中想表达的观点。
10.From the passage we can infer that if we put our personal information on the web, ________.
A.it might bring us trouble
B.it might cause trouble to others
C.we can develop friendship with a stranger
D.a stranger can recognize us with only one touch
解析:选A 推理判断题。第二段第二、三句提到,一个完全陌生的人只需要动一下他的电脑就能获得你生活的所有信息,这是我们为世界的科技发展而付出的代价。由此可知,我们如果把个人信息放到网上就有可能给自己带来麻烦。
11.According to the writer, if famous people ________.
A.walk on the street, they will be recognized
B.become rich, they'd better not walk alone
C.want to have privacy, they shouldn't be on a crowded street
D.lose their privacy, it must be their own choice
解析:选A 细节理解题。第三段最后一句提到,我们不可能在富有、出名时,走在拥挤的街上不被人们认出来,因此A项符合题意。
12.The worst thing private investigators often do is that ________.
A.they put their noses in other people's business
B.they look into other people's private lives
C.they are paid to do the job
D.they ask for more money
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“but they often overcharge for their work”可知,关于私人侦探最不好的事情就是他们不仅需要付钱才工作,而且往往要更多的钱。
