A
Three-day－old Oskar Lunde sleeps in a small bed at an Estonian(爱沙尼亚) hospital.
Across the room, his father turns on a laptop computer. "Now we will register our child, "Andrei Lunde says as he lifts his identification card into the card reader. His wife, Olga, looks on. And just like that, Oskar is Estonia’s newest citizen. No paper. No time spent standing in a line.
Estonia has launched a project to make government administration completely digital. The goal is to reduce the size of the government work force, open up the decision-making process and fuel economic growth.
Need medicine ?Reach for a computer and send an email or text message to a doctor. Need help from the local government? Click on a link to the government websites…
Estonia has created a system that supports electronic authentication(身份验证) and digital signatures. It provides paperless communications for both the government and private industry.
However, there are a few things that one cannot do electronically in Estonia: marry, end a marriage or buy and sell property. That is only because the government has decided it is very important to show up in person for some big life events. When Estonia declared independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991, it had to build a new economy. Government leaders looked for an industry where the country could compete. They decided on information technology and the Internet.
When the poor country needed to replace a 1930s phone system, former President Toomas Hendrik Ilves rejected the offer of a free analog(模拟) system from Finland and argued for a digital one.
Last year, information and communications made up 5.9 percent of the economy. The government hopes to increase that figure with an "e-residency " program that lets businessmen around the world register their businesses in Estonia, thus gaining a presence in the European Union. More than 51, 000 people from 167 countries have registered at a cost of only 100 euros, or＄114 each.
1、What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?
A．To provide background information of the topic.
B．To attract readers’ attention to the topic
C．To describe the daily life of an Estonian
D．To offer some basic knowledge of Estonia
2、In which case shall people show up in person in Estonia?
A．Registering a newly born baby. B．Registering a business
C．Purchasing a house. D．Signing a name.
3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The "e-residency "program didn't work in practice
B．The "e-residency" program appeals to native Estonians
C．People register businesses in Estonia at very low prices
D．Estonia used to be a member state of the European Union.
4、Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Estonian Government Aims to End Paperwork
B．"e-residency" Program Fuels Estonian Economy
C．Estonia Is Becoming Stronger With IT Industry
D．Government Administration Is Going Digital

B
You’ll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it’s long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子). Then how does it work?
Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.
VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.
Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives — but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
1、What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality?
A．A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer.
B．A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition.
C．A headset, data gloves and a supercomputer.
D．A keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition.
2、Paragraph 3 is mainly about .
A．the principles of virtual reality
B．the applications of virtual reality
C．the history of virtual reality
D．the influences of virtual reality
3、According to the passage, virtual reality means .
A．imagining beautiful things in our mind
B．creating something that doesn’t exist
C．experiencing things that don’t really exist
D．cloning something that has died out
4、What is the writer’s attitude towards VR?
A．Appreciative. B．Cautious.
C．Skeptical. D．Indifferent.
