Groups of stars moving together indicate to astronomers that they originated at the same time and place, which can help us understand how our galaxy evolved.Goddard’s virtual reality team, managed by Thomas Grubb, animated those same stars, revolutionizing the classification process and making the groupings easier to see, Higashio said. They found stars that may have been classified into the wrong groups as well as star groups that could belong to larger groupings.“Rather than look up one database and then another database, why not fly there and look at them all together,” Higashio said. She watched these simulations hundreds, maybe thousands of times, and said the associations between the groups of stars became more intuitive inside the artificial cosmos(宇宙)found within the VR headset. Observing stars in VR will redefine astronomer’s understanding of some individual stars as well as star groupings.The 3D visualization helped her and Kuchner open a window into the past. “We often find groups of young stars moving together, suggesting that they all formed at the same time,” Kuchner said. “The thinking is they represent a star-formation event. They were all formed in the same place at the same time and so they move together.”【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国宇航局的天文学家利用虚拟现实技术，重新观察并定义了对于银河系如何运行的理解。4.In which aspect can a 3D VR simulation help researchers?A. Getting a new idea of how stars are formed.B. Making a more accurate classification of stars.C. Drawing a clearer picture of a star’s inner structure.D. Having a better understanding of modern technology.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“animated those same stars, revolutionizing the classification process and making the groupings easier to see…stars that may have been classified into the wrong groups as well as star groups that could belong to larger groupings.”可知，通过VR技术，研究人员改变了星群分类的过程，发现其中某些归错类了，某些应该属于更大的星群，也就是纠正了以前的行星分类，使其变得更加准确。故选B项。5.What does the underlined word “intuitive” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Abstract.    B. Complex.   C. Vivid.    D. Close.【答案】C【解析】词义猜测题。根据第五段第一句“Rather than look up one database and then another database, why not fly there and look at them all together”可知，他说：与其从一个数据库再到另一个数据库查找资料，为什么不飞过去把它们都查一遍呢？。她观看了数百次，或许数千次这些模拟，她说，在虚拟现实头盔中发现的人造宇宙中，恒星群之间的关联变得更加直观，intuitive应该指“直观的”，与C选项vivid“生动的，形象的”含义最接近。故选C项。6.What does the text mainly tell us?A. Our future relies heavily on the 3D technology.B. The 3D technology is applied to many industries.C. NASA scientists use VR for scientific discoveries.D. Researchers have discovered new stars by using VR.【答案】C【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段“NASA scientists using virtual reality technology are redefining our understanding about how our galaxy(银河系)works”可知，文章第一句就阐明了主要内容，即美国宇航局(NASA)的科学家利用虚拟现实技术(VR)重新定义了对于银河系运行的理解，与C选项描述相符。故选C项。7.Where is this text most likely from?A. A sci-fi story.   B. A travel guidebook. C. A research paper. D. A science magazine.【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据文章内容来看，章讲述了美国宇航局的天文学家利用虚拟现实技术，重新观察并定义了对于银河系如何运行的理解。短文是以比较通俗化的语言和表达方式来介绍一项科学上的发展，并没有研究报告中严谨、艰深晦涩的形式和内容，最有可能来自于面向公众的科学类的杂志、报刊等。故选D项。C(2021·云南师大附中)If VR(virtual reality)ever goes mainstream, then it has the potential to become the biggest technological breakthrough of the decade. The idea of living in the digital world is almost as old as science fiction itself and now a headset will bring us closer to it than ever before.To enjoy the new world, all you have to do is pop on the comfortable headset, and with a quick setup on the companion app you're good to go. XRSpace claims this will be the world's first 5G mobile VR headset, so you can take it with you without being tied to the house. There are also no external sensors, with inside-out tracking technology able to detect your head and hand movements, ensuring you don't have to suffer clumsy VR controllers.The virtual world itself is where the XRSpace Manova shines the brightest and has to be seen to be believed. Seeing a gap in the market, the XRSpace Manova headset isn't focused on gaming or commercial use but rather as a VR social platform where friends and family can hang out in a virtual space similar to Linden Lab's Second Life.You can create avatars with realistic features which means they actually look like you. The avatars can act in fun ways from handshakes to stunning break-dance. Users will also be able to watch movies or live sporting events with friends and family within the shared virtual space. The XRSpace Manova absolutely realizes what you want from a VR device and that’s making you feel part of the experience instead of a viewer of the experience. It is probably the closest to a fully immersive digital world we'll ever get with today’s technology. Nevertheless, it's a giant leap to go from VR gaming to a VR social platform.【语篇导读】本文是说明文。介绍了一种新型的VR头戴设备。不同于其他偏重于游戏或商业的头戴产品，XRSpace的使用者在戴上该头戴后能体验真实的虚拟世界并能在其中进行社交。8.What can we know about the VR headset?A. It is designed to create your real avatar.   B. It can bring a vivid virtual world to the user.C. It can monitor your trunk move accurately.  D.

Impressive.   B. Intelligent.   C. Independent.  D. Involved.【答案】D【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“The XRSpace Manova absolutely realizes what you want from a VR device and that’s making you feel part of the experience instead of a viewer of the experience.( XRSpace Manova绝对实现了你想从VR设备中得到的东西，这让你感觉自己是体验的一部分，而不是体验的观众)”可知，该产品是让你参与到体验中而不只是作为旁观者观看，即画线词意思是“参与的”。A.

What if we could jump and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math, trying to make the dream of time travel come true.Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing called “spacetime.” He said there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first is relativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super-fast through flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on Earth or in space.Stephen Hawking believes that a time machine will never be built. If it were possible, he thinks we would already know. If a time machine could be built, how come no one from the future has invaded us?The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward.Will time travel ever happen? Who knows? Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。主要讲了时光旅行是否能够成为可能，分别引用了科学家阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和斯蒂芬·霍金对于时空旅行的看法，并介绍了关于时间旅行的不同作品。12.What is the author’s purpose of writing the first paragraph?A. To show time and space are connected.   B. To show people’s interest in time travel.C. To draw readers’ attention to time travel.  D. To make people believe time travel is possible.【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future? What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?( 如果我们有能力控制时间，而不是从过去到现在到未来，会怎么样？如果我们能在机器里跳跃、循环和穿越时间会怎样？如果我们可以去任何我们想去的地方和时间呢？)”由此可知，作者写第一段的目的是吸引读者对时光旅行的注意。故选C。13.Which of the following statements could Einstein agree with?A. Time travel is possible in the future.   B. People can’t move faster than light.C. Time travel is against scientific rules.   D. Spacetime is not a real thing in theory.【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel.(爱因斯坦提出了两种导致了关于时间旅行可能性的理论的观点。)”可推知，爱因斯坦的观点导致了关于时光旅行可能性的理论，说明爱因斯坦会同意A选项“时光旅行在未来是可能的”的说法。故选A。14.What is the last but one paragraph mainly about?A. The first science fiction story.    B. Different works about time travel.C. Edward P. Mitchell, the pioneer.    D. Some tools used in time travel.【答案】B【解析】主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward.(第一个以这个话题为主题的科幻故事是Edward P. Mitchell的《倒转的钟》，出版于1881年。从那时起，成千上万的书籍、电影和电视节目都在探索时空旅行的概念，其中一些工具，如手机、手表、照片和旧书，带着旅行者来回穿梭)”可知，倒数第二段主要讲述了关于时光旅行的不同作品。故选B。15.What is the writer’s attitude toward time travel?A. Negative.   B. Approving.   C. Doubtful.   D. Hopeful.【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Will time travel ever happen? Who knows? Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.( 时光旅行真的会发生吗？谁知道呢？最重要的是睁大你的眼睛，保持一种好奇的感觉。)”可知，作者对于时空旅行的态度是充满希望的。故选D。二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2020·江苏苏州市高三月考)What will man be like in the future—in 5000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.  　 1 　  Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however , we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.  　 2 　  In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.  　 3 　  At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.  　 4 　  Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! 　 5 　  All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.A. This may well be true.B. Let us take an obvious example.C. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.D. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker.E.Now how exactly will this great revolution occur?F.In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.G.We’re all set to get much taller and thinner, if we want to survive.【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了未来5千年或更久以后人类的样子。1.【答案】B【解析】本空在段首，紧随第一段最后一句“we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. ”(我们可以肯定，他将会不同于今天的他，因为人类一直在慢慢地变化)以及下文“Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today.(人类在五百年前比现在的人要矮)Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.(还有，在现代社会，我们经常使用我们的大脑)”从身高和脑力运用两个举例对比五百年前人类与现在人类的区别，起上承上启下作用。B选项“让我们举一个明显的例子”。故选B。2.【答案】C【解析】根据下文“事实上，由于我们经常使用眼睛，眼睛变得越来越弱，我们不得不戴眼镜。”故C选项“现在我们的眼睛经常被使用”引起下文。本句的them指代上文中的 our eyes。故选C。3.【答案】D【解析】根据前一句On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. (另一方面，我们倾向于较少使用我们的胳膊和腿)可知，选项说明上一句所产生的的结果。less use 对应选项中的 grow weaker.故D选项“他们会变得越来越弱”切题。故选D。4.【答案】F【解析】根据上文But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. (但是头发呢？随着时间的推移，它可能会从身体上完全消失，因为它不再有任何有用的作用)，头发的作用越来越小而可能消失，由此可知未来男女都将成秃头。disappear对应选项中的 be bald。故选F。5.【答案】A【解析】根据前文的举例说明人类的外貌特征的改变，以及上文句子Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at!(也许所有这一切给人的印象是，未来的人类不会是一个非常有吸引力的生物!)，人类将不再如以前好看。选项对上文进行总结。故E选项“这很有可能成为事实”切题。故选A。三、完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(改编自2021·吉林延边朝鲜族自治州高三模拟)I am an imaginative girl. I have always been    1    about the future just like the great novelist, Liu Cixin.What will life be like in the future? What will happen to humans and other living things?

First, with the development of medicine,on the average, a person will live to the age of about 120. Second, because of the discovery of new energy, the environmental pollution will be under control. Third, people’s daily life will change greatly, too. For example, robots will do all your housework for you; your chair will change its color to match what you’re wearing; Perhaps some people will go to the moon for a holiday.写作(二)(2021·全国高二课时练习)I have seen amazing things.My first visit was to a space station considered the most modern in space. Described as an enormous round plate, it spins slowly in space to imitate the pull of the earth’s gravity. Inside was an exhibition of the most up-to-date inventions of the 31st century. A guide showed us around along a moveable path.Guide: Good morning to all our visitors from 2008. First we’re going to examine one of the latest forms of communication among our space citizens! Messages can now be sent using a “thoughtpad”. You place the metal band over your head, clear your mind, press the sending button, think your message and the next instant it’s sent. It’s stored on the “thoughtpad” of the receiver. It’s quick, efficient and environmentally friendly. The only limitation is if the user does not think his or her message clearly, an unclear message may be sent. But we cannot blame the tools for the faults of the user, can we?During the explanation I looked at the pair of small objects called “thoughtpad” on a table. They just looked like metal ribbon. So ordinary but so powerful! While I was observing them, the path moved us on.Guide: And now ladies and gentlemen, we are in the “environment area”. People used to collect waste in dustbins. Then the rubbish was sent to be buried or burned, am I right?(We nodded.)Well, now there’s a system where the waste is disposed of using the principles of ecology. A giant machine, always greedy for more, swallows all the waste available. The rubbish is turned into several grades of useful material, such as “fertilizer” for the fields and “soil” for deserts. Nothing is wasted, and everything, even plastic bags is recycled. A great idea, isn’t it?I stared at the moving of the waste machine, absorbed by its efficiency. But again we moved on.Part 1Our third stop shows the changes that have happened to work practices. Manufacturing no longer takes place on earth but on space stations like this one. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Part 2My mind began to wander. What job would I do? My motivation increased as I thought of the wonderful world of the future. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】A group of engineers programme robots to perform tasks in space.The robots produce goods such as drugs, clothes ,etc.There is no waste ,no pollution and no environmental damage！However，the companies have to train their representatives to live and work in space settlements.They have to monitor the robots and the production.When the goods are ready they are transported by industrial spaceship back to earth.In the future, I can operate the robot to do some more complicated and dedicate work.It would be much safer for our doctors and nursers to avoid direct contact with patients in a situation like this one.And I think I can also design more meaningful things.As soon as I thought about that I realize that the future technology needs us to master, we should study harder to walk in front.I have seen amazing things in space, we are sure to make the world amazing in real life tomorrow.
