24、If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbor or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality(虚拟现实) equipment. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants(参与者) in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner—an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. “As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner’s pants,” she said. “That’s the picture I remember best.”
The equipment is quite simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.
To get used to seeing another person’s body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Finally, this kind of slow synchronized(同步的) movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person’s body.
By using such technology it is likely to change people’s behaviour afterwards—possibly for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism(种族主义)—the bias( 偏 见 ) that humans have against those who don’t look or sound like them.
Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave the participants a questionnaire test called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people’s associations(关联) between black people and adjectives such as good or bad, athletic or awkward(笨拙的). Then they asked the participants to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses. After that, the participants took the questionnaire test once again. This time, the participants’ bias scores were lower. So the idea is that once you’ve “put yourself in another’s shoes”, you’re less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has experienced the feeling of being that person.
The creators of “The Machine to Be Another” hope to achieve a similar result. “At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms,” says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. “It’s a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really recommend it to everyone.”
【1】The underlined word “swapping” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A.building
B.exchanging
C.controlling
D.producing
【2】We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that ________.
A.participants will live more enthusiastically(热情) after the experiment
B.we can learn to take control of other people’s bodies
C.our feelings are related to(与……有关) our bodily experience
D.The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes(性别)
【3】In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, ________.
A.they fought more strongly against racism
B.they scored lower on the test for racism
C.they changed their behavior greatly
D.they had stronger racism against those unlike them
【4】It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A.technology helps people realize their dreams
B.our biases could be eliminated(排除) through experiments
C.virtual reality helps promote(促进) understanding among people
D.our points of view about others need changing constantly(不断地)
25、 On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War(抗击新型肺炎战),the Ministry of Education issued(教育部公布)a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating. Sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health?
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize on create a network platform(平台),where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection(感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers. Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, specially how to keep away from touching virus and also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.
【1】Parents worried about putting off the start of school because________.
A.children may be infected by virus
B.they don't like the idea of online learning
C.children's study may be affected
【2】In the writer's opinion, it's necessary to ________ except for learning at home.
A.teach children about health knowledge
B.do some physical exercises outside
C.keep touching different people
【3】The underlined word "suspension" means "________" in Chinese.
A.计划 B.改变 C.停止
【4】Which of the following is TRUE?
A.All the students would rather go to school.
B.The exact start time of school will start before February 17
C.Online teaching will help students study.
【5】The best title for the passage is "________".
A.A Special Way to Learn at Home
B.A New War with a New Chance
C.A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy

27、 My elder brother Steve gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult after my father died when I was six years old.
Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took some time to ask me what happened. When I told him that my baseball broke Mrs. Holt's basement window, Steve encouraged me to tell her the truth. After all, I played baseball in a wrong place. As I explained to Mrs. Holt, my voice shook. Of course, I had to pay for the broken window from my pocket money.
I also learned from Steve that personal property (财产) is a sacred (神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny pen in my fifth—grade classroom, I wanted to keep it. Then Steve explained that it might be important to the loser although it had little value. He also reminded me of how sad I was when I lost the small wooden dog my father made. At last, I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids. I still remembered the smell of her perfume (香水) when she gave a hug.
Of all the lessons Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown bird in the garden with a gun. With excitement, I asked Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, "Did it hurt you first, Mark? I didn't know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, "Even if it hurts you first, you should think a long time and then decide whether you will kill it or not." I really felt terrible then, but that moment I will never forget.
【1】How many lessons Steve gave to Mark are mentioned in the passage?
A.One.
B.Two.
C.Three.
D.Four.
【2】What does the underlined word mean in Chinese?
A.开心的
B.清晰的
C.有趣的
D.可怕的
【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Mark was a boy when he wrote this passage.
B.When a living thing hurts you, you should kill it.
C.Mark lost the small dog his father bought somewhere.
D.Even if a living thing hurts you, you should not kill it at once.
【4】What's the best title of the passage?
A.My Guide in Childhood
B.My Lovey Brother
C.My Early Memory
D.My Sweet Childhood
