I was 18, livng with friends in a town about an hour north of Milwaukee. Desperate for adventure, we often talk

11、ed about haunted（闹鬼的）locations, and even wandered around the woods near Rienzi Cemetery. So when a friend shared a story about an abandoned house just down the road from Rienzi, how could I possibly resist? The group of us jumped in the car and headed off into the wild unknown, completely unaware of

12、 the misfortune that would soon befall us. The house was isolated, overgrown and barely visible from the road. Most of its windows were broken. It seemed completely neglected except the locked door and a NO ENTRY sign outside. How would anyone notice, or possibly even care, if we went in and looked

13、around? We stole inside, hoping for anything to prove the legend. Nothing valuable was found until an old letter, addressed to a Mr. J. Witherell, caught my eye. Its paper was stiff and yellowed. Excited by the physical evidence, I slipped the letter into my back pocket. I was about to exit the hous

14、e when I noticed firetrucks and police cars lining up out on the road. While most of us were exploring the house, one of us managed to knock a fire detector off the ceiling, which triggered an automated alarm at the fire department. I quickly alerted the others, but there would be no escape. After a

15、 moment of panic, we decided to go outside and face the music. To avoid a theft charge, I left the letter where it was before stepping outside. The result? Not only did we all get fined for entering, we were required to pay for property damage totaling $1,500 eachtoo much for us to afford. For so ma

16、ny years, I have been wondering: Why is the deserted house so heavily protected with detectors and other security measures? Why is the property regularly maintained? Whats the story behind that mysterious letter? 4. What did the shabby appearance of the house seem to remind the kids? A. They would h

17、ave no trouble entering it. B. Their entry would bring them a surprise. C. Their entry would disturb the neighbours. D. Their behavior would be noticed by its owner. 5.

What led the police cars and firetrucks to arrive so quickly? A. The police officers were checking there. B. The house owner reported to the police.

19、 C. The police cars were passing by accident. D. Some boy started the fire alarm system. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The empty house has been under strict protection. B. The author wonders why they got fined. C. No maintenance to the house is conducted regularly. D. There is muc

20、h mystery about the abandoned house. C Having hundreds of friends online is no substitute for a handful of close friends in real life. Researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online. The number of “peripheral oth

21、ers”, someone connected with onlineformer classmates and coworkers, for examplehad no connection with how satisfied they felt. Scientists did their study using data from two online surveys conducted on 1,496 people by a non-profit research organization. People taking part in the study revealed their

22、 ages, the make-up of their social networks, how often they had different types of social interactions, and their own feelings of well-being. They included details of how often and how they interacted with family or neighbours, and whether they included people who provided services for them in their

23、 networks. The number of close friends someone had was the only thing that influenced how satisfied they were with their social life. “Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Dr Bruine, an expert of the study. “If you

24、feel lonely, it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.” In the study, they found older people tended to have smaller social networks. Younger peoples were larger but this was mostly made up of “peripheral others”not true friends,

25、just people they knewand did not contribute to their happiness. Even variations in the number of family members or neighbours somebody spent time with did not affect how happy they were with their social life. Dr Bruine said her research echoed other findings showing people would be happier if a lar

26、ger proportion of their online friends were actually their friends in reality. She added, “Stereotypes of aging tend to paint older adults in many cultures as sad and lonely. But the research shows that older adults smaller networks didnt weaken social satisfaction and well-being. In fact, older adu

27、lts tend to report better well-being than younger adults.” 8. What has a good influence on ones happiness according to the study? A. Having impersonal networks of friends. B. Meeting with close friends face to face. C. Helping familiar coworkers. D. Keeping in touch with family members online. 9. Wh

28、at did the 1,496 people taking part in the study have to do? A. Keep off using the Internet. B. Show their attitudes to happiness. C. Reveal their social life thoroughly. D. Find “peripheral others” from their friends. 10. Who is more likely to be attacked by loneliness from the study? A. Parents li

29、ving with their children. B. Older adults with fewer friends online. C. Those having fewer relatives or neighbours. D. Young people without friends in reality. 11. What does the underlined word “paint” mean in the last paragraph? A. treat B. draw C. describe D. criticize D When Denis wants to relax

30、at work, he steps into a quiet room, sits in a chair, slips on a virtual-reality headset, and escapes to the beach. For Denis, those minutes are a tool he relies on regularly to both relieve and prevent stress. Hes not the only one at his company to use the room, where workers can also use a headset

31、 to watch a moon walk, take a virtual roller-coaster ride or access a meditation（冥想）app. Research shows VR can help reduce pain and anxiety. But its not yet clear why it works. Experts believe its related to the technologys power to distract. “Whatever their problems are, whatever their stresses are

32、, they can literally neglect them and have a different emotional pulse,” Denis said. Virtual-reality headsets havent taken off with consumers, but theyre now powerful and inexpensive enough for companies to consider investing in them to help make workers and customers happier. The headsets may help

33、people take a virtual break from their surroundings, but there are challenges to consider. Ramon Llamas, a tech market researcher, noted that there could be challenges in handing out headsets. Some people get sick or dizzy while using virtual reality, and the headsets may get dirty or broken. Theres

34、 also the task of quickly familiarizing people with using the headsets, especially since VR adoption has been so limited and the ways they are controlled can vary. For now, Llamas said, hes concerned about privacy and security. What if, for instance, someone manages to back into a headset and insert

35、 some content into what youre watching? Another potential issue is the managing of the headsets and software that goes along with them. This is likely not a complication for an office like Umber Realtys, where people can simply take a headset off if they feel something wrong. But it could be more of

36、 a problem if youre stuck in a dentists chair. “The last thing you want is that in the middle of extracting a tooth something goes wrong.” Llamas said. 12. What does Deniss company use Virtual Reality for? A. Improving the customers experience. B. Displaying the schedule of his company. C. Relieving

37、 the staffs work pressure. D. Saving the trouble of transportation. 13. How can the VR devices help the users by Denis? A. Ignoring reality for the moment. B. Improving their thinking. C. Designing work for the company. D. Investing in a new industry. 14. What does the author focus on in the last th

38、ree paragraphs? A. The potential problems with VR. B. The privacy policy available for VR. C. The management of these devices in the market. D. The standards the VR technology is to follow. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. VR, a promising business in future! B. Is VR always making us re

39、lax? C. The adoption of VR needs investments. D. Are we saying “goodbye” to VR? 第二节 （共 5 题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中 有两项为多余选项。 We all agree that we should recycle moreat home, in the office or when out and about. But for materials to be recycled, they first ne

40、ed to find their way to the right waste stream. 16 This is what the process of sorting allows us to do. For effective recycling we need effective sorting. And this needs to happen first, in our own home and second, in sorting plants to which waste collected from our doorstep is taken. When you put a

41、 plastic bottle in the right recycling bin, you are helping sort recyclables. So the right material can be fed into the right recycling process. 17 They can be a loss of valuable resources from our economy. 18 For instance, in Brussels, Belgium, consumers put plastic packaging, cans and beverage car

42、tons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging; paper in yellow bags for recycling; and glass needs to be taken to specific collection bins. Somewhat differently, in Vienna (Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the

43、year. 19 In this way, they can sort their recyclables at home more effectively. Once recyclable materials are collected from your doorstep, they are further sorted in specialized facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process. 20 Traditionally, sorting has been done either manually wit

44、h workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be discarded or mechanically. Today, however, new technologies are being developed in order to speed up the process of sorting but to also yield better results. Exciting technologies using magnets or optical systems are being us

45、ed to effectively sort materials so more of it can be recycled. A. If sorting doesnt happen, recyclable materials can end up in landfills. B. This is where different sorting techniques come into play. C. In Europe, collection systems vary from country to country. D. So citizens need to be aware of t

46、heir local collection system. E. Then they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling. F. The rest, though they could be recycled and reused, were landfilled or burned. G.
