Sectin A
Once just a science fictin idea, VR has nw becme mre accessible than ever. ___21____( wear ) a pair f VR gggles cnnected t yur cmputer and yu can experience a lt f things withut stepping ut f the rm. Frm climbing ___22____(high) muntain in the wrld t flying a spacecraft, the things yu can experience with VR are limitless.
This new “reality” is starting t take ver China. The Reprt n Chinese VR Users’ Behavir was released n March 18 during the 12th TFC Glbal Mbile Game Cnference & Intelligent Entertainment Exp held in Beijing. The reprt is based n a survey f 5,626 peple, ____23____(age) between 15 and 39, frm acrss the cuntry. It shws that up t 68.5 percent f peple have heard f r are interested in VR prducts.
But surprisingly, it isn’t new technlgy that has made VR s ppular. “VR has been _____24____ fr many years, but it will stick this time because there’s enugh cmputer pwer and the price will just keep ging dwn,” Tdd Richmnd, a VR grup member with the Institute f Electrical and Electrnic Engineers in the US, tld USA Tday.
VR ____25_____(expect) t change varius different fields. Fr example, VR culd be used t train pilts and miners befre they had t actually risk their lives in highly dangerus wrking envirnments, r t treat patients with acrphbia (恐高症) by making them think they were standing n tp f a high building.
“If yu have perfect virtual reality, ____26____yu’ll be able t simulate everything that a human can experience r imagine experiencing, it’s hard t imagine where yu g frm there,” Palmer Luckey, 23, inventr f the Oculus VR gggles, tld NPR.

Als, ___27____ mre and mre tls are flding the market, the sftware that runs VR games and simulatrs has yet t catch up with all the new advancements. It culd take ___28___ while fr VR t be widely accepted.
When every new technlgy is first intrduced, the technlgy_____29_____ is the driving frce. But fr it t really blend (融入) int peple’s lives, meeting basic and practical needs shuld be the main aim.

An hnest assessment f persnal interests and abilities such as creative skills, r skills acquired frm wrk experience, shuld als be given careful _32__ .

III. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A (15)
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
President Obama’s secnd Inaugural Address used saring language t stress America’s cmmitment t the dream f equality f pprtunity: “We are true t ur belief that a little girl brn int __40__ knws that she has the same chance t succeed as anybdy else, because she is an American.”
The gap between ideal and reality culd hardly be __41__. Tday, the United States has less equality f pprtunity than almst any ther advanced industrial cuntry. Study after study has __42__ the myth that America is a land f pprtunity. A way f lking at equality f pprtunity is t ask t what extent the life chances f a child are __43__ the educatin and incme f his parents. Is it just as likely that a child f pr r prly educated parents gets a gd educatin and rises t the middle class as smene brn t middle-class parents with cllege degrees? Even in a mre demcratic sciety, the answer wuld be n.
Hw d we explain this? Sme f it has t d with persistent discriminatin. Latins and African-Americans still get paid less than whites, and wmen still get paid less than men, __44__ they recently surpassed men in the number f advanced degrees they btain. Discriminatin, hwever, is nly a small part f the __45__. Prbably the mst imprtant reasn fr __46__ f equality f pprtunity is educatin. After Wrld War II, we made a majr effrt t __47__ higher educatin t Americans acrss the cuntry. But then we changed, in several ways. While racial segregatin decreased, ecnmic segregatin increased. After 1980, the pr grew prer, the middle stagnated(停滞不前), and the tp did better and better. A result was a widening gap in educatinal perfrmance – the __48__ gap between rich and pr kids brn in 2001 was 30 t 40 percent larger than it was fr thse brn 25 years earlier, a Stanfrd scilgist fund. Of curse, there are ther frces ___49___. Children in rich families get mre expsure t reading. Their families can affrd enriching experiences like music lessns and summer camp. They get better nutritin and health care, which enhance their learning, directly and indirectly.
Nw Americans are cming t realize that withut substantial plicy changes, their lng cherished belief is nly a myth. It is unreasnable that a rich cuntry like the United States has made __50__ t higher educatin s difficult fr thse at the bttm and middle. There are many __51__ ways f prviding chances fr mre t receive higher educatin, frm Australia’s incme-cntingent lan prgram t the near-free system f universities in Eurpe. A mre educated ppulatin yields greater innvatin, and a rbust ecnmy. Thse benefits are why we’ve lng been __52__ t free public educatin thrugh 12th grade. But while a 12th-grade educatin might have been enugh a century ag, it isn’t tday. Yet we haven’t __53__ ur system t cntemprary realities.
The steps I’ve utlined are nt just affrdable but necessary. Even mre imprtant, thugh， is that we cannt affrd t let ur cuntry drift farther frm __54__ that the vast majrity f Americans share. We will never fully succeed in achieving Mr. Obama’s visin f a pr girl’s having exactly the same pprtunities as a wealthy girl. But we culd d much, much better, and must nt rest until we d.

Sectin B (22)
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
A
Wmen have been driving yellw cabs in New Yrk since the 1940s, but 99% f drivers are male. Even amng drivers f cars bked by phne r nline, nly 4% are wmen. That may change with the launch f SheTaxis, an app that lets female passengers insist n female drivers, and vice versa.
It will be available in New Yrk City, Westchester and Lng Island, and the firm plans t expand t ther cities. Stella Mate, the funder, is betting that quite a few wmen are nervus and weary f getting int cars driven by men. The service may als appeal t thse whse religius beliefs frbid them t travel with unrelated men. Each driver wears a pink pashmina. Men wh ask fr a ride will be directed t anther car service.
Similar services thrive in India, Suth Africa and several Middle Eastern cities. Japan has had wmen-nly railway carriages n and ff since 1912. Knwn as hana densha (flwer trains), they ffer shelter frm the grpers wh make rush hur in Tky s disagreeable.
But SheTaxis faces tw speed bumps. One is practical. Demand has been s great that the firm has had t decelerate its launch until it can recruit 500 drivers. The ther bstacle is legal. By emplying nly female drivers, SheTaxis is bviusly discriminating against men. Since anti-discriminatin law is nt always applied with cmmn sense, that may be illegal. And there is n shrtage f ptential litigants(诉讼当事人). Yellw cabbies are furius at the grwth f nline taxi firms such as Uber. “It’s nt hard t imagine a guy filing suit,” says Sylvia Law f New Yrk University Law Schl. “SheTaxis’ defence wuld prbably be that its drivers are all independent cntractrs.”
Because the firm caters nly t wmen, it is discriminating against male custmers, t. Is that legal? Angela Crnell f Crnell Law Schl thinks there culd be a lphle. New Yrk’s Human Rights Cmmissin culd make an exemptin n the grund that SheTaxi ffers a service that is in the public interest: wmen feel safer nt getting int cars with strange men. Wmen-nly clleges are allwed, s why nt wmen-nly cabs? The snag is that sme men may als feel safer getting int cabs with female drivers. A study in 2010 fund that 80% f crashes in New Yrk City that kill r seriusly injure pedestrians invlve male drivers. Wmen drivers are simply better.
55. It can be inferred that the service f SheTaxis may appeal t_______.
A. wmen wh are nervus abut taxi drivers
B. wmen with certain religius beliefs
C. wmen wh are tired f taking taxis
D. men wh ask fr a ride
56. The wrd “grpers” (Para. 3) prbably refers t_______.
A. peple wh cause a traffic jam
B. men wh make sexual harassment t wmen
C. men wh cause the rush hur in Tky
D. peple wh make taking trains disagreeable
57. If SheTaxis is accused f discriminating against men, it may_______.
A. decelerate its launch as an nline taxi firm
B. emply bth male and female drivers
C. make anti-discriminatin law nt applicable
D. spring t the defence f its drivers
58. SheTaxis may be exempt (被豁免的) frm illegality by New Yrk ’s Human Rights Cmmissin because_______.
A. its service prvided is based n the public interest
B. it discriminates against male passengers
C. it prvides service als fr male passengers
D. it decreases crashes caused by male drivers

It was 3: 45 in the mrning when the vte was finally taken. After six mnths f arguing and final 16 hurs f ht parliamentary（议会的,国会的）debates, Australia's Nrthern Territry became the first legal authrity in the wrld t allw dctrs t take the lives f incurably ill patients wh wish t die. The measure passed by the cnvincing vte f 15 t 10. Almst immediately wrd flashed n the Internet and was picked up, half a wrld away, by Jhn Hfsess, executive directr f the Right t Die Sciety f Canada. He sent it n via the grup's n-line service, Death NET. Says Hfsess: We psted bulletins（ 公告, 新闻快报）all day lng, because f curse this isn't just smething that happened in Australia. It's wrld histry.
The full imprtmay take a while t sink in. The NT Rights f the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens alike trying t deal with its mraland practical implicatins. Sme have breathed sighs f relief, thers, including churches, right-t-life grups and the Australian Medical Assciatin, bitterly attacked the billand the haste f its passage. But the tide is unlikely t turn back. In Australia-where an aging ppulatin, life-extending technlgy and changing cmmunity attitudes have all played their part-ther states are ging t cnsider making a similar law t deal with euthanasia. In the US and Canada, where the right-t-die mvement is gathering strength, bservers are waiting fr the dmines t start falling.
Under the new Nrthern Territry law, an adult patient can request death-prbably by a deadly injectin r pill-t put an end t suffering. The patient must be diagnsed as terminally ill by tw dctrs. After a cling ff perid f seven days, the patient can sign a certificate f request. After 48 hurs the wish fr death can be met. Fr Llyd Nicksn, a 54-year-ld Darwin resident suffering frm lung cancer, the NT Rights f Terminally Ill law means he can get n with living withut the haunting fear f his suffering: a terrifying death frm his breathing cnditin. I'm nt afraid f dying frm a spiritual pint f view, but what I was afraid f was hw I'd g, because I've watched peple die in the hspital fighting fr xygen and clawing at their masks, he says.
59. Frm the secnd paragraph we learn that ________.
（A）the bjectin t euthanasia is slw t cme in ther cuntries
（B）physicians and citizens share the same view n euthanasia
（C）changing technlgy is chiefly respnsible fr the hasty passage f the law
（D）it takes time t realize the significance f the law's passage
60. When the authr says that bservers are waiting fr the dmines t start falling,
he means ________.
（A）bservers are taking a wait-and-see attitude twards the future f euthanasia
（B）similar bills are likely t be passed in the US, Canada and ther cuntries
（C）bservers are waiting t see the result f the game f dmines
（D）the effect-taking prcess f the passed bill may finally cme t a stp
61. When Llyd Nicksn dies, he will ________.
（A）face his death with calm characteristic f euthanasia
（B）experience the suffering f a lung cancer patient
（C）have an intense fear f terrible suffering
（D）underg a cling ff perid f seven days
62. The authr's attitude twards euthanasia seems t be that f ________.
（A）ppsitin （B）suspicin （C）apprval（D）indifference
C
Over the weekend, NASA’s newest Mars rver, the Curisity, which landed early n Aug. 6 after an eight-mnth flight, started sending back a 360-degree high-reslutin(高分辨)panrama （全景画；全景摄影）f its surrundings.
At a news cnference n Wednesday, Jhn P. Grtzinger, a prfessr f gelgy at the Califrnia Institute f Technlgy wh serves as the missin’s prject scientist, cmpared the view with a place just a few hurs’ drive frm Pasadena, Calif, and NASA’s Jet Prpulsin Labratry, the rver’s birthplace. “Yu wuld really be frgiven fr thinking that NASA was trying t pull a fast ne n yu,” he said, “and we actually put a rver ut in the Mjave Desert and tk a picture—a little L.A.(Ls Angeles) smg cming in there.” He added, “T a certain extent, the first impressin yu get is hw Earth-like it seems.”
Where the Curisity actually sits is a 96-mile-wide crater named Gale near the Martian equatr. T the nrth, the images shw part f the crater rim that is believed t have been erded by flwing water. T the suth is a 3.4-mile-high peak that the scientists call Munt Sharp, which Curisity is meant t reach and t climb. By investigating the layers f sedimentaryrck n Munt Sharp, mis-sin scientists hpe t recnstruct the climate and envirnment f early Mars and tell whether it culd have been nce been habitablefr life.
The phts als shw marks that Curisity has made at the landing site. As Curisity was lwered t the surface f Mars, blasts frm the descent-stage engines created indentatins in the nearby sil, expsing the bedrck belw. This expsed bedrck is likely t be ne f the first areas f scientific explratin n the rver’s planned tw-year jurney.
After the flawless landing, the first week f peratins f the rver n the grund als prceeded almst perfectly, t, as engineers started checking ut the rver’s system, deplyed the high-gain antenna（天线）, and raised the mast（天线杆）that hlds the cameras.
S far, n significant truble has arisen. The weather instrument experienced a prblem that engineers figured ut a day later. The rver’s internal temperatures are slightly warmer than expected, pssibly because the crater is warmer than predicted r because NASA’s cmputer mdels f Curisity were nt quite right. Wrries abut verheating culd put cnstraints n when certain instruments can be used. But the heat is als a bn, reducing the energy Curisity needs t warm up its jints and wheels befre mving.
63. Where is the rver Curisity’s real lcatin?
A. In the middle Mjave Desert near its birthplace in the US.
B. T the suth f crater Gale that is near the Martian equatr.
C. Near the Martian equatr which is erded by flwing water.
D. On tp f a 3.4-mile-high peak which used t be habitable.
64. It can be inferred frm the passage that the rver’s investigatin________ .
A. is likely t start with the study f the rcks n Mars
B. is determined n the recnstructin f the climate n Mars
C. started immediately after the rver’s perfect landing
D. can nly begin after a week’s preparatin n the grund
65. What caused the rver’s unexpected warmer internal temperature?
A. A minr prblem f the weather instrument.
B. Prblems f NASA’s cmputer mdels f Curisity.
C. The impact n the rver during landing.
D. Overheating f certain instrument in the rver.
66. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. Hw earthlike the surface f Mars is.
B. The success landing f Curisity.
C. NASA’s achievement in investigating Mars.
D. Hw far the missin f Curisity has gne.
Yu are nly allwed t purchase a firearm if yu have had a backgrund check and meet certain legal requirements.
There have been many enlightening articles n gun cntrl in America.
If yu were t visit the United States fr tw mnths the nly gun yu might see is in a museum r n a plice fficer.
Less than fifty percent f hmes in the United States wn weapns, and many f thse hmes are in rural areas where guns may have a greater use.
Mre peple are deciding t legalize their gun transactins instead f buying them n the black market.
What alarms peple the mst abut American gun culture are the illegal guns and shting
Sectin D
Guns have a special place in American culture, and thugh nt everyne agrees n whether r nt they are a gd thing, there is n mistaking that they will be part f the cultural landscape fr sme time. T answer the questin, n, nt everyne has a gun. 67
Americans use guns fr ne f tw uses: either fr sprt, where they can use them n firing ranges r fr hunting in apprved areas, r fr self-prtectin. The latter is where mst peple begin t take sides, either arguing fr the remval f guns frm sciety r allwing mre peple t have them. There are rganizatins and cmmunity grups fr bth sides and bth sides have strng feelings.
Legally, there are restrictins n gun wners. 68 Only certain kinds f weapns can be purchased by the public, and that excludes autmatic weapn and military grade weapnry. Gun wners must transprt their weapn in a safe way, unladed and in mst cases, ut f sight. Special―cncealed carry permits frm the plice statin must be btained fr peple wh want t wear weapn, and mst peple are rejected fr this kind f permit. 69 Criminals steal guns r buy them illegally t cmmit crimes, and the news is full f terrible stries f what happened next.
Occasinally a child will get a hld f legal weapn and accidentally hurt themselves r thers.
It is imprtant t remember, hwever, that the news stries that make the United States seem like a dangerus place are deceiving; guns are nt everywhere r cnstant. 70 After all, America is a safe place t live.
Summary Writing
With the average number f children in a British family falling under an average f 2.0, cmpared with the traditinal 2.4 children, the ppulatin f the UK has been falling fr quite a few years.
Why aren’t British peple having as many children as they used t? Well, there are many reasns.
One f them is that British peple are nw having their children at a much lder age than previusly, meaning they have fewer years in which they can have children. Mst yung peple tday want a well-paid jb, s they ften g t university after high schl after years f study at university, they then need a few years f wrk experience befre they can get the jb they want. S it’s nt until they are abut 30 years ld that they can start t think abut settling dwn and having children.
Anther reasn is that it is relatively expensive t bring up a child in the UK. Usually bth parents need t wrk t pay fr their hme and living expenses. They need t pay smene t lk after their child during the day, which is expensive.
In additin, prblems in the glbal ecnmy ften affect British families. Fr example, when times are tugh and there is an ecnmic dwnturn, it becmes difficult t find a jb r keep the existing ne. This kind f uncertainty discurages peple frm having larger families.
S what is Britain ding t try and save British families? First f all, the gvernment is trying t make it cheaper t have children. Fr example, there have been increases in mney families can gain frm the state each mnth. Als, there is an increasing amunt f mney fr nursery schls, s that parents dn’t need t pay s much fr childcare. In additin, there are nw laws allwing parents t take mre time ff wrk s that they can lk after their children themselves rather than having t pay thers t d it.
