Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled with t
12、his and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something. But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on
13、.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering （过滤）一holding back from saying something until youve checked“ to make sure that what youre about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning t
14、o get in the mood for conversation. If you dont know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex （习惯性思维）that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. Ifs fun to realize that youre allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you dont say any
15、thing that could land you in jail （监狱）.All of the “Oh! Thats interesting.“Hmm, Ive never heard of that” Hmm, cool! expressions are reactionary （保守的） bits of conversation that prove to the other person that youre really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, theyll hang
16、 around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juiceup conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if its not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more

But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its
20、 promise, you might be able to do all these things and many more without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿)bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, its long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to
21、figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子).Then how does it work?Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What di
22、stinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two scre
23、ens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train fo
24、r. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be
25、addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives - but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you dont have to use it if you dont
26、 want to.1、What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality?A. A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer.B. A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition.C.

Indifferent.Text 3Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But fo
29、r a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hop
30、ing to sell their products .The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in peoples lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, o
31、r just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors
32、, or advisors.It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace th
33、em within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.1、What does the author try to argue in Paragra
34、phi?A. The practice of choice is difficultB. The right of choice is given but at a price.C. Choice and right exist at the same time.D. The exercise of rights is a luxury.2、Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?A. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.B. Sho
35、ppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.C. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.D. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.3、By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove thatA. products of the latest design floo
36、d the marketB , competitions are fierce in high-tech industryC - everyday goods need to be replaced oftenD. advanced products meet the needs of people4、What is this passage mainly about?A. The opinions on peoples right in different countries.B. The problems about the availability of everyday goods.C
37、. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.D. The variety of choices in modem society.Text 4Fantasy as a genre is often unfairly wronged. While there are plenty of authors who seem to be paid by the word and are only concerned with expanding volume, there are many authors producing fantastic works t
38、hat are worthy of the word literature. While there were many worthy competitors, here are what we consider to be the great work of the greatest fantasy series of all time.1. The Dark Tower by Stephen KingThe Dark Tower actually shares some similarities with The Wheel of Time. In both series the firs
39、t four books are the strongest, and you also get the sense with both Robert Jordan and Stephen King that they didnt quite know how to end their creation, which led to a very controversial ending in The Dark Towers case along with some questionable decisions by Kinglike his self-insertion in the stor
40、y.King has created one of the most iconic fantasy characters of all time in the Gunslinger Roland and the world he creates, with all of its similarities to our reality, is a prosperous one. Its too bad that Stephen King doesnt dabble(涉猎)more in fantasy, because he clearly has a talent for world buil
41、ding. Not to mention everything he writes seems to be phone book sized, which would fit right in with the fantasy genre.2. Harry Potter by J.K. RowlingWhen considering a ranking of the greatest fantasy series of all time, the question of Harry Potter is a tricky one. Theres inevitably opposition whe
42、n something is as popular as Rowlings work, and add to that the fact that the series is seemingly meant for children and you have a case that naturally inspires a lot of debate. Tm not sure I believe Rowling did anything particularly new with Harry Potter, but a work doesnt necessarily have to be in
43、novative fbr it to be great. Nearly every fantasy series owes a debt to Tolkien for instance, but that doesnt mean Tolkien has written the only work of fantasy that matters. Rowling didnt really come up with anything new, but the connection she made with tens of millions of readers is praiseworthy.
44、People will be reading Harry Potter fbr decades to come, and Im not sure a better introduction to fantasy could be found. 1、What do we know about the two books?A. Kings work The Wheel of Time has a controversial ending.B. People have debate on J.K. Rowlings book because of her innovation.C. King is
45、blessed with a gift for world building. D. Tolkien has a great influence on J.K. Rowling. 2、The passage is most probably taken from. A. a news report B. a book review C. a history book D. a research paper Part B Directions:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitabl
