21、Being a relatively new technology, VR technology is clearly just beginning to take off. There are companies producing their own VR headsets, but they are still not as big as other products that are meant to entertain. Apart from the limited choices, one more thing that is worth noting about the current state of VR is the fact that content is limited, as well as applications. Most of the products available on the market today are aimed at gamers and mostly special for high-end buyers because of its expensive price.

Despite being full of potential, however, there are also some challenges that should be dealt with in order to ensure the success of VR. Among others, one of the most significant would be the need for powerful devices that would complement the headsets. For Oculus Rift, for instance, a powerful video card is needed for a computer, something you might not have at home, making the VR technology inapplicable.

In addition, there are also challenges when it comes to beauty. Today's VR headsets look almost entirely the same-they are huge and heavy and they look silly. Producers must find a way in order to make the design more beautiful.

Producers will also be challenged to make VR headsets more affordable so that more people will be able to purchase them. Most of the models currently available are just too expensive for average buyers.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the challenge is to find more applications. It is currently being centered on game paste applications. Producers are challenged to come up with creative ways in order to increase the usefulness of such a promising device.

In sum while it is undeniable that VR is big in today's time, there's a lot of room for improvement. There are limited choices when it comes to VR products available on the market, and for many, it is still a bit expensive. Others lack knowledge on how it works, which results in hesitation. There are also some problems that have yet to be solved and more opportunities to be uncovered. It would be safe to say that it is new, still in its infancy, but hopefully it is getting to the top.

【1】What is needed for your computer when you use Oculus Rift?

A．A useful videotape.

B．A powerful video card.

C．A powerful video camera.

D．A useful video phone.

【2】What is the biggest challenge of VR?

A．To lower its price.

B．To simplify its headset.

C．To widen its application.

D．To beautify its appearance.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of VR?

A．Worried.

B．Concerned.

C．Confident.

D．Indifferent.

【4】What might be the best title for the passage?

A．The Challenges of VR

B．The Development of VR

C．The Popularity of VR

D．The Importance of VR

23、   European researchers say they have created a process that can produce oxygen from moon dust. The process could provide a major source of oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future. Researchers from the European Space Agency (ESA), carried out the experiments at a laboratory in the Netherlands. They reported their results in a study published in Planetary and Space Science.

The team says ESA’s experimental “plant” was able to successfully produce oxygen from simulated (仿造的) moon dust. The dust is part of a material known as regolith, a top layer of dirt and rock fragments that sit on the surface of the moon. Samples of regolith returned from the moon have confirmed that the material contains about 45 percent oxygen by weight. However, the oxygen is chemically locked in the form of minerals or glass, so it is not easily available for use. Having real samples of regolith from the moon made it possible for the researchers to create the simulated moon dust material used during testing.

ESA’s long-term goal is to design an oxygen-producing “pilot plant” to operate full-time on the moon. The first technology demonstration (演示) of the system is expected to take place in the middle 2020s. Beth Lomax of the University of Glasgow was a lead researcher on the project. “Being able to acquire oxygen from resources found on the moon would obviously be hugely useful for future lunar settlers, both for breathing and in the local production of rocket fuel,” she said in a statement.

The researchers reported that “as a bonus”, the process also results in the production of usable metallic materials. ESA researcher Alexandre Meurisse said the finding that a number of metals are left behind was an important discovery.

ESA and the U.S. space agency NASA are both working on plans to return human beings to the moon. NASA has set a goal for 2024, with the aim to keep humans on the moon for long periods. ESA officials say the latest experiments were part of expanded engineering development aimed at finding new ways for lunar materials to be used to support future human activities.

Last August, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida announced its own plans to develop a device that would melt lunar regolith to extract oxygen.

The NASA plan would involve heating the regolith to more than 1,600 degrees Celsius and then flowing electricity through the material, the agency explained. The process would attempt to cause a chemical reaction to split the regolith into oxygen and metals.

Kevin Grossman is a materials science expert at Kennedy Space Center. He said researchers will be carrying out experiments to test the technology with the goal of getting NASA, in his words, “one step closer to an automated mass production of oxygen on the Moon.”

【1】How will the process benefit humans according to the study?

A．By creating warm air for researchers on the moon.

B．By providing rocks for the production of minerals.

C．By testing the weight of the oxygen contained in moon dust.

D．By offering oxygen for people conducting studies on the moon.

【2】What makes oxygen difficult to produce during the ESA’s experiment?

A．Its poor quality.

B．Its small quantity.

C．Its form of existence.

D．Its complex structure.

【3】What is the “bonus” in the new process?

A．Usable metals.

B．Fresh oxygen.

C．Rare minerals.

D．Precious glass.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．European Researchers Discovered Oxygen From Moon Dust

B．Oxygen Found for Humans Taking Part in Moon Exploration

C．Oxygen Successfully Produced From the Moon Dust

D．Mass Production of Oxygen achieved on the Moon

24、Scientists from the University of Texas at Austin have finally solved the mystery of a huge fossil(化石）that has been unlabeled and unidentified sitting at a Chilean museum for almost a decade. The relic which looks like a flat football, is the largest known soft-shelled egg from a marine reptile（海生爬行动物）that lived on the earth over 66 million years ago. Measuring more than 11 by 7 inches» it is also the second-largest egg belonging to any known animal, only behind the now-extinct elephant bird.

The rare fossil named " The Thing" was discovered inside a rock formation in Seymour Island off the coast of Antarctica in 2011 by a team of researchers including David Rubilar-Rogers. Over the years, the paleontologist（古生物学者）at Chile's National Museum of Natural History has showed the strange fossil to every geologist that came to the museum. However, no one was able to identify “The Thing's" origin until Julia Clarke» a professor at UT-Austin's Jackson School of Geosciences, visited in 2018.

“I showed it to her, and, after a few minutes, Julia told me it could be an egg!" Rubilar-Rogers said.

To confirm Clarke's suspect, Lucas Legendre, a student at UT-Austin who led the study, examined the fossil under a microscope. Sure enough, he found several layers of membrane（薄膜），confirming that the fossil was indeed a soft-shelled egg, similar to the obvious, quick-hatching eggs laid by some modern-day snakes. “The shell is very thin,” said Clarke.

The fossil's identification led to an even bigger mystery—what animal could have laid an egg this size? After considering several potential parents, the researchers concluded that the egg was laid by an ancient marine reptile like a masseur（沧龙）. The fact that the rock formation where the egg had been found had fossil evidence of baby masseurs and the offspring of other marine animals further strengthened their theory.

【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?

A．“The Thing” is the largest egg laid by animals.

B．“The Thing" has been discovered for a century.

C．“The Thing” looks like a football not having enough gas.

D．“The Thing” belongs to an elephant bird.

【2】What is Clarke's guess about “The Thing”？

A．It may be laid by a snake.

B．It could be an egg.

C．It has a very thick shell.

D．It has existed for 66 thousand years.

【3】How did Legendre test Clarke's guess?

A．By comparing the fossil with the eggs of various animals.

B．By analyzing a lot of data collected by researchers.

C．By doing many experiments with his colleagues.

D．By using a microscope to examine "The thing"・

【4】What docs "their theory" in the last paragraph refer to?

A．The egg's potential parents arc snakes・

B．An ancient marine reptile laid the egg.

C．The size of the eggs lies in the weight of the animals.

D．The way of rock formation affects the egg.
