（2024·河南·模拟预测）In 2008, when Natinal Gegraphic Explrer and phtjurnalist Martin Edstrm learned abut the discvery f Hang Sn Dng in Vietnam, he realized the cave’s vast “rm”—as large as a city blck—wuld be a perfect shwcase fr the 360-degree and virtual reality(VR) technlgies he was using. And while he lves heading t remte places, he desn’t regard this part f his wrk as “explratin”. “I find that ging t these remte and challenging places brings ut the best in me creatively,” he says.
Edstrm traveled with a small team deep int the jungle t reach the remte entrance t the cave. There, they used rbtic camera heads, a single DSLR and several smaller camera rigs t build immersive(沉浸的), 360-degree envirnments that viewers culd “inhabit” via VR headsets. This technlgy was beginning t g mainstream, with Facebk launching their 360-vide service in 2015.
The media that Edstrm and his team created allws peple t have an intimate (亲密的)—thugh digital—experience f a natural wnder that few will ever witness firsthand. “The jy f this is really that I get t step ut f these restrictins f the frame. I can put peple inside the experience,” Edstrm explains. “They get t see what I see.”

The discvery f Hang Sn Dng prmpted great interest frm investrs lking t capitalize n the site’s heritage value, including ne cmpany that prpsed running a cable car thrugh a sectin f the cave. By drawing internatinal attentin t the cave, Edstrm’s 360-degree interactive vides may have played a part in ensuring its preservatin: fr nw, just ne tur peratr is licensed by the Vietnam gvernment t cnduct expeditins t Hang Sn Dng, and these are limited t fur days.

（2024·四川南充·二模）As a university prfessr, I have been immersed in thery and guess fr s lng that it recently struck me: I dn’t knw hw t d anything. By “d”, I mean smething material, smething dne with my hands that prduce an actual prduct.
The trades cme t mind. Whenever I call an electrician, r a masn, r a carpenter, I lk n in wnder as they smthly emply their skills. Fr example, I recently had a new kitchen sink nulled by a yung man. He kept singing as he wrked at the pipes. Minutes later, he turned n the water and it flwed frth with nthing similar t a leak. Is this nt a minr miracle?
All f this brught me t a decisin: I registered fr an adult evening curse at a lcal technical schl. The title: Basic Electricity and Wiring (线路). When we began, I felt immediately verwhelmed. S many new terms. In an instant, I was a student again in all respects: The anxiety, the self-dubt, the wndering if I had made a mistake. And then I recalled: “Nthing in the wrld can take the place f persistence... Educatin will nt; the wrld is full f educated failures.” S I wrked my way thrugh my basic wiring curse. My initial impulse t jump ship gradually gave way t the awareness that I was, indeed, acquiring a useful new skill.
What fllwed ahead was the curse’s climax: Each student was presented with a switch and a lighting fixture (照明设备). The task was t install them-in-a-dr-frame and-wire them; but nt thrw the switch until the instructr was present. There I was, an experienced prfessr, standing like a fresh-faced schlby. I wrked away, using my tls t cnnect wires. When I was dne, I raised my hand. The instructr lked ver my jb and glanced at me. “Hit the switch,” he said.
It’s hard t characterize that mment. But I did feel that learning is nt smething that ends early in life. I need t widen my hrizn thrugh cnstant learning. The brader the hrizn, the mre pprtunities there are t learn smething new.
I hit the switch.
There was light.
In mre ways than ne.

【导语】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍的是Hang Sn Dng作为世界上最大的天然洞穴，一直以来都是探险家的钟爱之地，360度全景虚拟现实技术的使用让人们能够“亲身体验”这个天然洞穴。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In 2008, when Natinal Gegraphic Explrer and phtjurnalist Martin Edstrm learned abut the discvery f Hang Sn Dng in Vietnam, he realized the cave’s vast “rm”—as large as a city blck—wuld be a perfect shwcase fr the 360-degree and virtual reality(VR) technlgies he was using.( 2008年，当国家地理探险家和摄影记者Martin Edstrm得知在越南发现了Hang Sn Dng时，他意识到这个洞穴的巨大“房间”——有一个城市街区那么大——将是他使用的360度和虚拟现实(VR)技术的完美展示。)”可知， Edstrm把这个Hang Sn Dng看成是验证测试自己正在使用的360度全景虚拟现实技术的理想场地。故选B。
2．推理判断题。根据第二段的“There, they used rbtic camera heads, a single DSLR and several smaller camera rigs t build immersive(沉浸的), 360-degree envirnments that viewers culd “inhabit” via VR headsets.(他们在洞穴内使用了机器人相机云台、一台单反相机和几个较小的摄像机设备，创建了可供观众通过虚拟现实头盔“进入”并沉浸其中的全景360度环境。)”以及本段中“This technlgy was beginning t g mainstream, with Facebk launching their 360-vide service in 2015.(随着Facebk在2015年推出360度视频服务，这项技术开始成为主流。)”可知，Facebk的360度视频服务与Edstrm团队研发的360度全景虚拟现实技术类似，随着Facebk在2015年推出360度视频服务，这项技术开始成为主流。故选B。
3．词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“ The discvery f Hang Sn Dng prmpted great interest frm investrs lking t capitalize n the site’s heritage value, including ne cmpany that prpsed running a cable car thrugh a sectin f the cave.
