arePassing through adolescence into adulthood and now into middle age，Ive wasted a lot of time feeling ashamed of the size of my hips，the gray in my hair，and the lines in my faceFinally，as I approach my 50s，I believe my parents were right all along：I am not my bodyI was born in 1959，at the tail end of the baby boomUnfortunately I arrived without all my body parts fully completeMy left arm is a little disabled with a small hand and three fingersTo my good fortune，I had excellent parentsThey were fighters who struck“I cant from my vocabulary，and replaced it with“I will find a way”They believed the development of the mind，heart and soul determine who you are and who you will becomeMy body was not to be used as an excuse；instead it was catalyst My body was not ignored，thoughIt received an operation；it was dragged to physical treatment，then to swimming，and finally to yogaBut it was not the focus of my lifeI was taught to respect my body，but to remember that it was only a vehicle that carried the important things：my brain and soulMoreover，I was taught that bodies come in all shapes，colors and sizes，and that everyone was struggling in some way with their physical defects(缺陷)My experiences have convinced me this must be trueSome people think I am my body and treat me with prejudice or pitySome are just curiousIt took years，but I have learned to ignore the stares and just smile backMy body has taught me to respect my fellow humanseven the thin，able-bodied，beautiful onesI am my words，my ideas and my actionsI am filled with love，humor，ambition and intelligenceThis I believe：I am your fellow human being and，like you，I am so much more than a body24What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?AThe author was born healthy BThe author felt

not My Body BMy Excellent ParentsCDont Have Prejudice against Me DA Disabled ManCVirtual reality(虚拟现实)(VR)，a kind of fantastic technology，is finally hereIt is the wonderful world created by computersIf you want to experience it，you will have to depend on a headsetBut before you rush out to buy a headset，youd better take notice of expertswarnings“These devices are designed mostly for adult use，”said DrJustin Asgarpour，Vancouver optometrist(whose job is to examine peoples eyes and to sell glasses)Little research has been done about the long-term effects of VR on children，but makers have not designed the VR headsets for young eyesVR headset maker Oculus Rift states that younger users may suffer from discomfort or ill health effects，and they are in a very important period of visual development “What a study has suggested is that a VR device can actually cause what we call amblyopia，potential lazy eyes，in these children with pre-existing Visual conditions，”DrAsgarpour saidEven children without underlying eye conditions could experience problems，like temporary double visionAdults should be careful too，according to the doctor，who says longer virtual reality experiences can lead to balance problemsYou should be careful of your surroundings and be careful not to trip over wiresThose with heart conditions are advised not to playBut every coin has two sidesThere are some positive health uses of virtual realityThe technology has been used to treat conditions like fear of heights，and its also being used to help treat addictions“What were trying to do is take people into a drug-related setting and let them experience cravings(extremely strong wishes for something)，”DrZach Rosenthal with Duke University saidHe and his team take addicts inside a virtual house and use a series of tones to condition them to reduce their cravingsScientists say that a lot more research needs to be done about the long-term health effects of VR，but in the meantime you had better spend only a limited time on VR and make sure your children use it as little as possible28Whats one of the purposes of this passage? ATo introduce the uses of VR headset BTo advertise the VR headsetCTo inform people of the advantages of VRDTo warn children not to use VR29What problems can the use of the VR headset bring to children?AHearing problems BVisual problemsCBalance problemsDAddiction problems30Why is DrZach Rosenthals research mentioned?ATo reduce peoples cravingsBTo explain how VR worksCTo prove VR has beneficial effectsDTo prove the bad effects of using the headset31What does the author think of VR?AVRs health effects need more researchesBVR does no harm to adults CVR has no benefits to peopleDVR will not be popular any longer DHaving become workshop to the world，is China ready for the boom of high-technology industries? Thanks partly to foreign expansion by Huawei，a telecommunications equipment maker，and a few other Chinese companies，the idea is starting to be taken seriously abroad，above all in the US，ever jealous of American technological outstandingSome experts predict China may challenge US information technology leadership in only a decadeIts scientific achievements are also awesomeStephen Minger，a stem-cell scientist who led a UK fact-finding group to China last year，says he was amazed at the fast developing of its medical research and labsSince the late 1980sthe number of science and engineering doctorates(博士学位)awarded in China has explodedChina now has more researchers than JapanIts annual research and development spending，though still well below US levels，is rising five times faster.The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD)says although Chinas biggest exports are now high-tech products，those shining statistics mask an often more Ordinary realityThe bulk of Chinas high-tech exports are actually low-profit commodity products such as personal computers and DVD players，made up of imported components(配件)which account for most of their valueAh，say the China-supporters all that is merely beginning. China abundant cheap brainpower，energy and determination to succeed make it only a matter of time before it grows into an extraordinary knowledge economyAgain，appearances may cheatResearch and development effort is only a rather rough measure of inputIts economic value depends on the quality of output and how it is commercializedOn both counts，China still has much to prove. Historians puzzle over why，for 500 years after inventing gunpowder，China invented so little else. No country，of course，is bound to repeat history，and centuries have witnessed Chinas embracing foreign investment，trade and technologyBut whether its future is as a high-tech powerhouse in its ownright or as the worlds biggest branch-plant economy remains an open question.32What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?AHuaweis expansion abroad makes the US jealousBThe US takes no notice of Chineses companies abroadCChina has challenged USIT leadershipDChina is developing fast in IT，medical research and labs33How does OECD comment on Chinas development?AChina is developing faster than JapanBChinas research spending is higher than that of the USCChina hasnt made great profit as it appears toDHigh-tech products take up most of the value34What does the underlined phrase“both counts”in Paragraph 5 refer to?AThe input and effort of research and developmentBThe cheap brainpower and determination to succeedCThe measure of input and the economic valueDThe quality of output and the way of its being commercialized35Whats the authors attitude to Chinas future technology development?AObjective BUninterested CSubjective DConfused.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分。满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Improve Your Memory So you want to improve your memory? You need to focus on what youre doing and the information youre looking to encode more strongly in your brain 36 ：Focus on itSo many people get caught up in multi-tasking that we often fail to do the one thing that will almost always improve your memorypaying attention to the task at handThis is important，because your brain needs time to encode the information properlyIf it never makes it into your memory，you wont be able to recall it laterIf you need to memorize something，quit multi-tasking 37 The more senses you involve when you need to encode memory，usually the more strong a memory it becomesThats why the smell of moms home-baked cookies can still be recalled as flesh as though she were downstairs making them just nowNeed to remember someones name you met for the first time? It may help to look them in the eye when you repeat their name，and offer a handshakeBy
