21．（6分） Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual realityVR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.
But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as" mind wandering". During these events we' re not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we' re recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.
When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.
While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.
Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.
Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries without ever leaving their homes.
It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.
1、What is driving the development of virtual tourism?
A．Companies seeking to make more money.
B．Improvements in virtual reality technology.
C．People's demand for more shared experiences.
D．People's deeper understanding of the physical world.
2、Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?
A．The brain processes which help people think VR is real.
B．The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.
C．Brain activities focusing on past or future events.
D．Experiences coming from a person's imagination.
3、What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Science fiction.
B．Virtual technology.
C．Virtual tourism.
D．The real world.
4、What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To describe the advantages of VR tourism.
B．To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.
C．To encourage people to develop VR technology.
D．To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.
22．（8分） Apart from psychological illness，we are all largely responsible for our own emotional health.What we say to ourselves over and over for days, weeks, months，and sometimes years, has a great effect on how we see ourselves. This also contributes to many mental health disorders.
Many of us have problems with negative thoughts playing on the channel of our minds, but if you’re buried in them and believe them, they could be wearing your sense of self-esteem. Here are a few beliefs that indicate you may need to switch the channel：I’m not good enough? /I don’t deserve...? /No one likes me? /I’m a failure?
Negative thoughts remind you of your bad feelings and they bring your focus on your failures, and they get you nowhere.
What can you do? Here are some suggestions：
Switch the channel when negative thoughts appear. Self-talk is not so obvious that we often don’t notice its effect on our mood and belief systems. Key things to notice are “if only” or “what if” statements: the former keeps you caught in the past with regret, while the latter keeps you fearful of the future. There is nothing you can do about the past, and the future isn’t here yet, so stay in the present moment.
Recognize that actions always follow beliefs. You’ll find yourself behaving in ways that are consistent to your beliefs. So, start believing the best about yourself：act as if you believe that you’re a valuable and worthy person.
Develop positive selftalk rather than negative self-talk. Instead of always looking down upon yourself in your head, think of some things you actually like about yourself. What are your strengths? What are you good at? Instead of saying “I’m a loser”，try saying，“I am capable./I’m good at.../I accept myself the way I am.”
Thinking poorly about ourselves gets us nowhere and is extremely self-limiting. Decide today to turn off the negative self-talk channel in your mind and develop your true potential.
1、From the first two paragraphs we can learn that________.
A．lots of people have no sense of self-esteem
B．focusing on negative thoughts may have bad effect on people
C．negative thoughts will strengthen our sense of self-esteem
D．few people have negative thoughts and mental problems
2、The underlined word “wearing” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________.
A．strengthening B．protecting
C．weakening D．replacing
3、What do the suggestions in the text tell us?
A．Our beliefs always come after actions.
B．Positive self-talk does good to our mental health.
C．Looking down upon ourselves is a sign of modesty.
D．“What if” keeps you stuck in the past with regret.
4、The text encourages us to________.
A．get rid of negative thoughts
B．get anywhere we like
C．think highly of others
D．turn off the self-talk channel
5、This text is most likely to appear in________.

23．（8分） It’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world, but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.
Highly Sensitive
Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.
For such people, individual or non-competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.
Type A Personality
Type A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.
To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.
Type B Personality
This laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious.
Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.
Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.
1、Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?
A．They will feel like they are being evaluated.
B．They don't like socializing with other people.
C．They don't consider themselves to be athletic.
D．They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.
2、Type A personalities can be best described as_________.
A．committed B．flexible.
C．independent. D．sensitive.
3、What is the purpose of the text?
A．To help people understand what personality type they are.
B．To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habits.
C．To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exercise.
D．To describe different types of workouts that are available today.

25．（10分）Brain imaging was once thought to be too costly and difficult for widespread use in the developing world. But the technology soon may be available in poor countries.
