All too often the elderly end up sitting and looking at a wall or into a television. They're usually not motivated (有积极性的) to exercise, partly because getting moving again after a long period of inactivity can cause pain, and partly because it's not interesting to sit and look at a wall while you bike.A new research project from Aalborg University in Denmark may have the solution: virtual reality (VR). The project, led by Jon Ram Bruun-Pedersen, uses the technology to get the elderly on exercise bikes, thus turning exercise into a virtual experience.In Bruun-Pedersen's study, large TV screens were set up in front of the exercisebikes in the nursing home's activity room. While they biked, the 21 seniors rode through various virtual landscapes on the TV screen. The bikes were connected with the screens so the speed the subjects biked with was related to their speed through the landscape.“The study showed that seniors were happy with the experience and really lived it,” says Bruun-Pedersen. “They felt as if they had to ride harder to get up the3hill on the screen.”Next, the elderly subjects wore VR glasses with small screens in front of their eyes. The feeling is very true to life, and the elderly subjects vividly (逼真地) experienced being out in the great outdoors — even though they were still on an exercise bike in the activity room.“We set the study up so the elderly could ride in the same landscapes they knew from the screens. They took to the experience amazingly well,” Bruun-Pedersen said. “The seniors' desire to use the exercise bikes greatly increased.”“This is really good,” he says. “Partly because it's good for them physically to move more, but also because I wanted them to experience getting out in the world — even if it's a virtual world.”24. According to the text, what is a reason why the elderly seldom move around?A. They are not in good health.B. They are afraid of getting hurt.C. Doing exercise may be painful.D. It's more interesting to watch TV.25. What can we infer(推断)about the seniors' experience in Bruun-Pedersen's study?A. The VR glasses helped them bike easier and faster.B. They tried to avoid moving around in the outdoors.C. They had to ride harder when climbing a virtual hill.D. The faster they biked the quicker they traveled on screen.26. What did the subjects of the study think of their virtual cycling tour?A. Enjoyable.B. Dangerous.C. Relaxing.D. Tiring.27. How is the text mainly developed?A. By giving examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By asking questions and answering them.D. By raising a problem and offering the solution.COld paintings are helping experts unlock a mystery about people from long ago. Experts say the art — and the pyramid — belonged to the Mayan civilization. A civilization is a society. The Mayas were native peoples who lived more than 1,000 years ago in what is now Mexico and Central America.The murals (壁画) are about 1,350 years old. So far, experts have discovered about 30 of them in Calakmul, Mexico. They show scenes of everyday Mayan life. It's a side of the Mayas that has rarely been seen before, even though researchers have studied the civilization for about a century, says expert Michael Coe.“We neverhad anything like this before,” Coe explained. “This is something that's completely new to us.”Most Mayan art shows how rulers and royalty (贵族) lived. The newly discovered murals are of regular citizens doing ordinary things, such as shopping and eating. One painting shows a woman selling tamales to a crowd of customers. Another is of people eating corn. Other murals show Mayan goods being transported to market. “Mostly you get the murals that show gods and kings, never anything about daily life,” Coe says. “This is like walking into a Mayan supermarket.”4The Mayas were more than just painters. They developed their own form of math. They also studied science and the universe. The Mayas were writers, as well. They made books out of the bark (树皮) of fig trees. The civilization also came up with its own form of hieroglyphics.Some of the recently uncovered murals include hieroglyphics that label (标注) the people and objects with pictures. Thanks to the paintings, researchers have learned a few new hieroglyphics, including those for the words corn and salt. “Some of the hieroglyphics are still very hard to understand,” Simon Martin, one of the experts studying the symbols, explained. “I will be working on those and hope to understand them.”Scientists are busy excavating the rest of the pyramid. They're not sure why the Mayas created the structure or the murals on it, but they hope to learn more as they continue to dig. Martin believes there are at least a dozen murals left to be discovered. The work will be slow going though. The ancient paintings must be treated with care so they're not damaged. “It's rare to find paintings like these in such good condition,” Martin said. “But we know that there are more still to be uncovered.”28. What did the experts discover in Mexico?A. Several Mayan books.B. Several houses of the Mayas.C. An ancient pyramid with murals.D. How the Mayas solved math problems.29. Why is the discovery special?A. Because experts have never found Mayan remains before.B. Because the murals show the achievements of the Mayas.C. Because experts have never seen Mayan cities before.D. Because the murals are about common people doing ordinary things.30. What can we infer(推断) from the text about the Mayas?A. They did not create a lot of art.B. They were a well-developed people.C. They cared more about painting than writing.D. They were not interested in math and science.31. What are hieroglyphics according to the text?A. Away to put up tall buildings.B. A game the Mayas invented.C. The design of Mayan paintings.D. A form of writing that uses pictures.DThe old farmhouse had been too big and too lonely since my husband Martin passed away. I wandered around the empty rooms searching for something to do. As a matter of fact, nothing was fun without Martin. My daughter Jane lived in another town about fifty miles away. It wasn't a great distance, but she was busy with a job and two young boys.One morning, I saw a skinny little dog coming from behind the house. His tail and his head were lowered and he watched me with wary (警惕的) eyes as he slowly approached. If he hadn't been so dirty he would have probably been white, but he was so caked with mud that it was hard to tell. Sighing, I cut up a few pieces of5meat and put them on a paper plate and filled a bowl with water before going back outside. At the sound of the screen door, the dog lifted his head, a hopeful lookin his chocolate eyes. I placed my offerings at the edge of the porch (门廊) and watched him for a moment. He eyed the plate of meat hungrily and lifted one paw ( 爪) as if to step forward, but he was afraid. I went back inside the house, knowing he would quickly eat the food once he felt safe.When I went out to get the mail I saw that the dog was asleep on my porch. I looked through the mail, feeling certain that I would find a card from Jane. Saturday had been my birthday. Obviously, she had been too busy to come by or call. I found no card from Jane.I sat down in the rocker (摇椅) on my porch and started to cry. Suddenly I felta rough tongue licking my hand. Surprised, I looked into the upturned face of the dirty dog. His front paws rested on the arms of the rocker, and his expressive brown eyes seemed to be filled with understanding. He had such a sincere, concerned look on his little face that I found myself smile down at him and pat his head. He gave a small whimper (呜咽声) as if to tell me that he also needed a little love and affection.I looked down at the dog, amazed that he had put aside his own suffering to offer me comfort. He had been on his own, alone, hungry and afraid. He had no way of knowing how I might react to his display (展示) of affection. He could have been driven away and shouted at, but he gave me what he sensed I needed. He was smelly, but at that moment he was the most attractive dog I had ever seen. I thought that Martin would be a good name for this warm, friendly dog. Now I still wish Jane would visit or call more often. But I am no longer consumed by it. Martin has put joy back into my heart again. I found a purpose to live in Martin. He has filled the lonely, sad void in my life.32.

Why did the author cry?A. Because she missed Martin.B. Because Jane forgot her birthday.C. Because the dog wouldn't leave her house.D. Because she had too much mail to address.34. How did the author feel when the dog licked her hand?A. She felt impressed by the dog's bravery.B. She felt greater loneliness than ever before.C. She was surprised and a little bit frightened.D. She was deeply moved by the connection with him.35. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “consumed” in the last paragraph?A. Approved.B. Annoyed.C. Affected.D. Attracted.6第二节 (共5小题.每小题2分,满分10分)报据短文内容,从短文后的选顶中选出能填入空自处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选顶。
