The smallest donation can mae a 54 .

Businesses are finding more uses for Virtual Reality (VR) as the technology develops. VR is no longer only for gaming or enjoyment. An American company called Blue Goji is using VR to improve one’s health by maing eercise more fun.
Blue Goji has offices in Austin, the capital of Teas. The company showed its cardiovascular (心血管的) worout machine, called the Infinity treadmill (跑步机), at the recent South by Southwest festival, an event held every year in Austin.
A person using the treadmill wears a virtual reality headset when eercising. Before starting, the user tightens a belt to prevent falls. Then, the user plays a VR game while running on the machine. The game can transport the user into the virtual world, where he or she can be racing against virtual people.
Recently, Leonardo Mattiai tested the Infinity treadmill. Mattiai said he had a strong feeling to actually get running and do something that pushed his limits. He said the eperience was more interesting than running inside the gym without actually going anywhere.
Constam said the active use of virtual reality helps solve a common problem while wearing a VR headset. She noted that a lot of VR eperiences cause motion sicness because people are in motion during the game, but not moving in real life. But when the user is moving on the treadmill and in the game, the chances of motion sicness are reduced.
However, users who tested the treadmill while wearing the VR headset each had a different eperience. Constam said there generally is a learning curve for VR. The first time users feel lost, but “the more you do it, the more you get used to it,” she said. Mar Sacler was a first time user. He said he felt a little sic at one point during the game. But he thought the eperience was surprisingly realistic.
After carefully studying the u sers’ eperiences, Blue Goji plans to mae the treadmill available to the public in 2019.
58. A VR user’s security is ensured by connecting one to .
A. the headset
B. the belt
C. the treadmill
D. the machine
59. What is the uniqueness of the virtual reality treadmill?
A. It helps improve people’s health.
B. It maes eercise far more interesting.
C. It cures people of motion sicness.
D. It transports users
into the virtual world.
60. What is Mar Sacler’s attitude towards mareting the Infinity treadmill?
A. Supportive.
B. Doubtful.
C. Unconcerned.
D. Objective.
C
Sateboarding is an action sport which includes riding and performing trics using a sateboard, as well as an activity for fun, an art form, an entertainment industry job, and a method of transportation. In 2016, it was announced that sateboarding will be represented at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Toyo, Japan.
There are various theories about the origins of Sateboarding, but it is generally held that the sport began in the 1940s on the west coast of the USA when metal wheels were attached to a narrow wooden board. In the 1950s，plastic replaced metal as the material of choice for the wheels, and the first “Roller Surfboard” become commercially available, which in turn developed into the sateboard that we now today. The sport was a big hit with the younger generation and grew in global popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. Since the late 1990s, sateboarding has become an important part of street culture.
However, sateboarding has raised heated discussions in areas where the activity, although legal (合法的), has damaged stone wors, steps, benches, and pars. Certain cities oppose the building of sate pars in their neighborhoods, for fear of increased crime (犯罪) and drugs in the area. The disagreement between the old image of sateboarding and a newer one is quite obvious magaines such as Thrasher describe sateboarding as dirty, and still firmly tied to pun (朋克), while other publications, Transworld Sateboarding as an eample, paint a more different and controlled picture of sateboarding. As more professional saters use hip hop, or hard roc music in their videos, many urban youths, hip-hop fans and hard roc fans are also drawn to sateboarding, weaening the sport’s pun image. Besides, gr oup spirit influences the members of this community. In presentations of sateboarding, the evidence of crime is absent, and no attempt is made to tie etreme sports to any ind of illegal activity.
The good news is that efforts have been made to improve recognition of the cultural heritage as well as positive effects of sateboarding in cities. By raising £790,000, the Long Live Southban initiative managed to stop the destruction of a forty years old spot in London due to urban planning, a rescuing operation whose effect etends beyond sateboarding. The presence of sateboarders on this public space eeps the area
under nearly constant watch and drives homeless people away, increasing the feeling of safety in the area. The activity attracts artists such as photographers and film maers, as well as a significant number of tourists, which in turn drives economic activity in the neighborhood.
61. Which statement about sateboarding is TRUE?
A. It is a newly-added Olympic sport.
B. It has its origins in Europe.
C. It requires a good sense of balance.
D. It has a history of 80 years.
62. The wheels of the first “Roller Surfboard” were made of .
A. wood
B. metal
C. plastic
D. stone
63. What does the author argue for in paragraph 3?
A. Sateboarding should be banned in public places.
B. Sateboarding is associated with crime and drugs.
C. Sateboarding shouldn’t be tied to illegal activities.
D. Sateboarding has a negative effect on people’s life.
64. How could sateboarding benefit cities according to the last paragraph?
A. Taing care of homeless people.
B. Raising money for urban planning.
C. eeping trac of illegal activities.
D. Promoting economic development.

I sit on the stoop (门廊) in front of my friend’s house at the top of a steep hill. And now my friend is late, and I’m stuc here waiting.
I see a man approaching.
“Por favor. Call 911,” the man says. “Finger. Cut.” With his left hand, he is pressing the handerchief around his right little finger.
“No. Have. Phone,” I say, as if English is also my second language.
“Have phone,” he says, and dips his chin toward his front pants pocet. There, I find a phone, and call 911.
The operator answers, and I say “I’m with this guy, and he cut his finger.”
“Did he cut it off?”
“Did you cut it off?”
“Si.” He sighs.
“Yes. He cut it off.”
“Where is it?” the operator ass.
“Where is it?”
“Upstairs,” he says, pointing with his elbow to the house net door.
“Go get it,” she instructs me.
I follow the man toward the house. Inside, I see a table saw (锯), and the blood spreading across the ceiling, but I don’t see the finger. I lift up each foot and loo underneath to be sure I’ve not stepped on it. I’m getting that jumpy, tight-shouldered feeling lie when you’ve lost sight of a spider that was on your ceiling a moment ago.
“Do you see it?” I as him.
He points at his own finger beside the table saw. I grab a paper towel, pinching it carefully, the way you might pic up a harmless but frightening insect.
“We have secured the finger,” I tell the operator.
“Hang tight. The ambulance is on its way.”
We sit on the stoop waiting for the ambulance.
“You’re going to be O,” I say, putting my free hand on his sawdust-covered bac.
“Gracias,” he says.
“De nada. Esta no problem,” I reply in broen Spanish.
It feels good to be able to comfort someone, anyone. For months now, the second my hands would go idle (闲散的), a familiar depression would climb on my bac. I have been trying to put on a good face for my id, but I feel as if I’ve been failing. Could I save myself? I wouldn’t now h ow. But I am determined to save this man.
Finally the ambulance arrives, pics him up, and they’re off.
Throughout the evening, I can’t stop worrying about the man. I decide to call the hospital.
“Hi! I helped a guy who cut off his finger, and I don’t even now his name, but I’m wondering whether he came to your hospital.”
The nurse says, “His name is Jose Ramos, and he’s waiting for surgery. Would you lie to leave a message?”
“No. I don’t want to bother him. I just wanted to be sure he was O.”
The net morni ng, I call the hospital again. This time, I’m put through to Jose’s room. “How was the surgery?”
“No surgery,” he says. “No enough blood.”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” I say.
Later that day, I remember that old proverb about how if you save someone’s life, you are responsible for them for the rest of their life, which never made sense to me before. Shouldn’t the person who got saved owe a debt, and not the other way around? But today, I get it. It’s a great honor to help someone in need.
I start eeping a looout for other people in need of assistance. I help push a stalled car out of the road. I aid a disoriented cyclist when her bie gets clipped by a car. I adopt a dog. Then one day, a month or two after the finger incident, I realie I have completely forgotten to be de pressed. I’ve been so busy playing the role of local hero that I have ignored to drag my feet and stare into space and imagine the world without me.
Now, more than a decade has passed since Jose’s accident. Occasionally I search for “Jose” plus “Ramos” plus “finger.” I wish I could see him again, to see how he’s getting on. But more important, to than him, because when he lost his finger, he saved my life.
65. The man might have been when he had his finger cut off.
A. cleaning and decorating the ceiling
B. cutting vegetable with a table saw
C. cutting the wooden table into pieces
D. maing or repairing wooden objects

请阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

每个空格只填一个单词。

Social media is all about connecting with others. But a new study suggests that too much social media leads to disconnection and loneliness—basically the opposite of what we are led to believe.
The study, Social Media Use and Perceived Social Isolation Among Young Adults in the U.S, which was published on March 6, 2017 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that heavy use of platforms such as Faceboo, Snapchat, and Instagram was associated with feelings of social isolation (孤独) among young adults.
Study co-author Brian Primac and his team from the Center for Research on Media, Technology and Health at the University of Pittsburgh surveyed 1,787 U.S. adults aged 19 to 32 and ased them about their usage of 11 social media platforms (outside of wor). They also ased participants questions related to social isolation, such as how often they felt left out. The participants who reported spending the most time on social media---over two hours a day---had twice the possibility of social isolation than those who said they spent a half-hour per day or less on the same sites. Additionally, people who visited social media platforms most frequently (58 visits per wee or more) had more than three times the possibility of perceived social isolation than those who visited them fewer than nine times per wee.
According to Tom ersting, psychotherapist and author of Disconnected, the ey to
understanding these results lies in our understanding of “connections.” “Humans are social-emotional beings, meaning that it is in our DNA to be connected, face-to-face, w ith other humans,” he told Reader’s Digest. “Although people thin being on social media all the time maes them ‘connected’ to others, they are actually ‘disconnected,’ because the more time one spends behind a screen, the less time one spends face-to-face.”
“Part of the issue of loneliness is that the majority of people who use social media aren’t just posting, they are also viewing,”ersting continued. “They are spending a lot of time looing at everyone else，s posts, where they are, where they are going and what they are doing. Then everyone else’s ‘perfect’ life eperiences cause them to have feelings of being left out, of being lonely.”
So what’s the answer? It’s simple, says ersting—although it does involve a significant amount of will power. “To solve this, what you should do is resist the temptation (诱惑) to loo at everyone else’s life. Just focus on your own life, where you’re going, what you are grateful for, and what you want to accomplish in this world. Then go out and do it and stop wasting so much time comparing.”
