17. Many Shopping malls now have special areas that offer shoppers their first chance to experience “VR technology”. You may have entered one out of curiosity, or you may think it is just another piece of useless technology. Whatever your opinion, VR, or virtual(虚拟的)reality, is going to become a big part of our lives very soon. 2016 saw the introduction of many fancy products in the world of VR, including Microsoft"s HoloLens and Samsung"s Gear VR. All of them offer an exciting look at the new realities” and opportunities that VR brings. These, however, are the early days of a technology that is expected to go from strength to strength. And 2017 looks like it is going to be the year in which VR technology really takes off. For a start, using VR will become more normal in 2017. Microsoft and Intel have already discussed their plans for simpler and less expensive VR headsets. The idea of VR will stop being a sci-fi (science-fiction) idea, and instead it will turn into an industry of real products used as ways to show off imagination.” said Andrew, a designer at US VR Company, Survios. It is also expected that VR products will play a part in more common and real-life fields like fashion and film. For example, to enjoy the atmosphere and energy of the front row experience at a fashion show, fans will no longer have to go along in the flesh. Instead people will be able to enjoy the experience by just wearing a VR headset at home.
You can also expect VR mirrors and fitting-rooms sooner rather than later. "" This is an especially good opportunity for brands looking to offer very personalized experiences."" said Roy DeYoung from US-based marketing agency, PMX. As time goes on, there will be less discussion about whether people will accept VR technology. It will simply be a discussion of when. 8. Why do many shopping malls have areas for VR experiences? A. To collect shoppers" opinions. B. To meet the demands of shoppers. C. To introduce the new technology to shoppers. D. To entertain shoppers with new technology. 9. The underlined phrase “in the flesh” can be replaced by_____________. A. in time
B. in person C. in line
D. in order 10. What can we learn about VR products from the passage? A. They are cheap for the time being B. They are being used almost everywhere. C. They won"t be accepted for many years. D. They will meet more personal demands. 11. What may be the best title for the passage? A. VR Takes over Fashion B. VR Mirror are around the corner C. VR is Becoming Real D. VR Meets our Life Goal 参考答案：
8. C

18. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A.B.C.D)中选出最佳选项。
Let’s face it — you’re going to get a lot of well-intentioned advice from friends, parents and grandparents about your sleep. Some of this advice is going to be just wrong. Myth 1: Sleeping late on the weekends will make up for lost sleep during the week. Fact: Getting less than the amount of sleep that you need night after night accumulates over time and starts to create a“sleep debt”. And like all debts, eventually you need to pay the price. The problem with waiting until the weekend to meet sleep needs is that in the meantime, you are paying the price of being less alert, feeling more moody, thinking slower and having less stimulation. Myth 2: A boring teacher (or warm room, full stomach, etc.) can put teens to sleep. Fact: If you are getting enough sleep on a regular basis, there is no teacher, math book or reading assignment in the world boring enough to make you fall asleep in class. There are basically two things that make people sleepy — not getting enough sleep and not getting good quality sleep. The environment kids are in, including the room temperature, light level and entertainment value, may unmask underlying sleepiness, but the environment does not cause it! So if you are dozing off in class, don’t blame it on bad teaching.
Myth 3: Teenagers can pull an all-nighter to study and still be ready for the big test in the morning. Fact: Teenagers are much better off studying less and getting a good night’s sleep. Research clearly shows that the ability to concentrate and learn new information, as well as to work efficiently, declines sharply after being awake for 15-16 hours, and continues to bottom out the longer you stay up. Plus, if the big test is at 8:00 am, the problem gets even worse. That’s because morning time typically represents a low energy point in the body’s normal 24-
hour circadian(生理节奏的) rhythm, especially in teenagers. 60. According to the passage, a student who is in a sleep debt _______. A. will become bad-tempered and upset B. must make up for the lost sleep on the weekends C. will become more interested in fancying D. thinks slower but more carefully 61. According to Myth 2, which of the following is TRUE? A. Students who eat a lot are sleepy at class. B. The warm room can make students fall asleep easily. C. Students’ sleepiness has nothing to do with teaching. D. The light level may lead students to feel sleepy. 62. If you wake up at six in the morning, when will you begin working ineffectively? A. At about noon.
B. In the early morning. C. At about 9 pm.
D. In the midnight. 63. According to the passage, at 8:00 am a teenager will _______. A. feel more energetic after a night’s sleep B. have a poor learning result C. have the least desire to learn D. be able to think in a quick way 参考答案：
ACCB
