All of them offer an exciting look at the new realities” and opportunities that VR brings.‎ These, however, are the early days of a technology that is expected to go from strength to strength.

For example, to enjoy the atmosphere and energy of the front row experience at a fashion show, fans will no longer have to go along in the flesh. Instead people will be able to enjoy the experience by just wearing a VR headset at home.‎ You can also expect VR mirrors and fitting-rooms sooner rather than later. “This is an especially good opportunity for brands looking to offer very personalized experiences.” said Roy DeYoung from US-based marketing agency, PMX.‎ As time goes on, there will be less discussion about whether people will accept VR technology. It will simply be a discussion of when.‎ ‎24. Why do many shopping malls have areas for VR experiences?‎ A. To collect shoppers’ opinions.‎ B. To meet the demands of shoppers.‎ C.

Rose, a neat, well-dressed, dark-haired young woman carries out her work at an office in a business park near Cambridge and spends hours studying pictures of children being abused（虐待）. She watches the images again and again, looking for the tiniest details that might deliver a young victim from hell. They might be as small as the titles of books on a table, the action of making the bed or the images on the posters on the wall-anything that might provide a clue to the place where the child is suffering, and might finally lead the police to the abuser.‎ How can Rose decide to do such work? And all that for a salary of less than $23.000 a year? She said her motivation in joining the work was to protect the public. “When I first started this job, there was anger at the beginning. But when you see what the children have to endure, you know someone has to be there to protect them. If I can play a small part, I will help make a difference.”‎ The 33-year-old woman is enthusiastic about her job. Rose and her team have done what they could to put the children’s life back together. They are very proud of what they have done.‎ The nature of her work has changed her for the better. “I’m a lot more focused on the positive, much more relaxed about the world. I enjoy the good people around me,” she says. Rose thinks that her job is a bit like giving blood. Maybe you don’t like doing it, but someone has to. She regards it as her duty to help abused children.‎ ‎28. What is Rose’s job?‎ A. Managing a big business park.‎ B. Finding clues that help save abused children.‎ C. Teaching and looking after abused children.‎ D. Studying images on the posters on the walls.‎ ‎29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “endure” in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Suffer. B.

What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Rose’s life makes her popular.‎ B. Rose often donates blood to others.‎ C. Rose makes a difference to the world.‎ D. Rose’s life has been positively affected by her job.‎ D Robots will have taken over most jobs within 30 years leaving humanity facing its “biggest challenge ever” to find meaning in life when work is no longer necessary according to experts. Professor Moshe Vardi, who works in Rice University, says that many middle-class professionals will be assisting the work of machines within the next few decades leaving workers more leisure（休闲）time than they have ever experienced and as a result, the rise of robots could lead to unemployment rate greater than 50 percent.‎ ‎“We are approaching a time when machines will be able to do better than humans at almost any task,” said Vardi, “Robots are doing more and more jobs that people used to do. I believe that society needs to face this question before it’s upon us. If machines can do almost any work humans can do, what will humans do? The question I want to put forward is, ‘Does the technology we are developing finally benefit mankind?’”‎ Prof. Vardi said existing robotic and artificial intelligence (Al) technologies were already ‎ getting rid of a growing number of middle-class jobs and that pace of advancement in the field is increasing.‎ But Prof. Vardi is not sure that a workforce of human like robots will be good for mankind. “A typical answer is that if machines will do all our work, we will be free to pursue leisure activities,” he said. “I do not find this a promising future, as I do not find the idea of leisure-only life appealing. I believe that work is important to human well-being.” He added, “Humanity is about to face perhaps its greatest challenge ever, which is finding meaning in life. If machines can do all the work or even 50 percent of the jobs that we used to do, what will people do?”‎ ‎32. What is unavoidable if using robots more often?‎ A. There will be more workers out of work.‎ B. People will live a meaningless life.‎ C. It’s unnecessary for everyone to work.‎ D. Machine will replace humans in all ways.‎ ‎33. What caused middle-class jobs to be removed?‎ A. Workers’ free time. B. AI technologies.‎ C. Society needs. D. Working efficiency.‎ ‎34. What’s Prof. Vardi’ s attitude about a workforce of human like robots?‎ A. Opposed. B. Uncaring. C. Concerned. D. Supportive.‎ ‎35. What will people's future life be like?‎ A. Busy. B. Challenging. C. Miserable. D. Unattractive.‎ 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够填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Best Way to Save Money Although the best way to save money can vary from person to person, depending on age, family size and other characteristics, there are still some easy things that all shoppers can do to keep more money in their bank accounts.‎ · Avoid impulse（冲动的）purchases.‎ When you shop, a best way to save money is to have a plan in mind to help you avoid impulse purchases. 36 And you only carry the exact amount of cash that you will need for your ‎ planned purchase.
