The regular world presented to us by our five senses — you could call it reality 1.0 — is not always the most user-friendly. We get lost in unfamiliar cities; we meet people whose language we don’t understand. So why not try the improved version: augmented reality（AR）or reality 2.0 ? AR technology adds computer-produced images on the real world via a mobile phone camera or special video glasses.
Early forms of AR are already here — smart phones can deliver information about nearby ATMs and restaurants and other points of interest. But that’s just the beginning. A few years from now the quantity of information available will have increased hugely. You will not only see that there’s a Chinese restaurant on the next block, but you will be able to see the menu and read reviews of it.
This is where the next revolution in computing will take place: in the interface（界面）between the real world and the information brought to us via the Internet. Imagine bubbles floating before your eyes, filled with cool information about anything and everything that you see in front of you.
Let’s jump ahead to ten years from now. A person trying to fix a car won’t be reading a book with pictures; he will be wearing a device that projects animated 3D computer graphics onto the equipment under repair, labelling parts and giving step-by-step guidance.
The window onto the AR world can be a smart phone or special video glasses. But in ten years’ time these will have been replaced by contact lenses(隐形眼镜) with tiny LEDs, which present something at a readable distance in front of eyes. So a deaf person wearing these lenses will be able to see what people are saying.
The question is, while we are all absorbed in our new augmented reality world, how willwe be communicating with each other?
4. What is the text mainly about?
A. The relationship between reality 1.0 and reality 2.0.
B. Different forms of the AR technology.
C. The next information technology revolution.
D. The popularity of the AR technology.
5. Which of the following will AR technology support according to the text?
A. To pay for things online conveniently.
B. To play online games merrily.
C. To offer information efficiently.
D. To communicate with others socially.
6. What are Contact lenses with tiny LEDs used for?
A. Show texts and images.
B. Protect people’s eyes.
C. Help deaf people communicate.
D. Replace smart phone.
7. What’s the author’s attitude towards the AR technology?
A. Indifferent.
B. Critical.
C. Concerned.
D. Favourable.
C
After almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart’ s desire.
Now the most important question comes, what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?
Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning streak (连续成功) now, but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain, and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days, they say. Do not spend too much, live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.
Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one’ s money.
People often think like this — one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow’ s plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?
Good questions, aren’ t they? I say travel but don’ t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries but also keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future. Life is for
the living, so live it sensibly.
8. Why do elders teach us to save money?
A. Because there are more rainy days in life.
B. Because no one can win streak.
C. Because good days may end.
D. Because money can’t buy everything.
9. What does the underlined phrase “refrain from” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. select from
B. hold back
C. rely on
D. prefer to
10. Which of the following opinions would the author agree?
A. To enjoy yourself in the right time.
B. To wait to travel until we have enough money.
C. To go backpacking in our 50s.
D. To live for the future.
11. What should we do with the earnings according to the author?
A. We should save all for rainy days.
B. We should fulfill our dreams.
C. We should entertain ourselves.
D. We should live the present wisely.
D
Is renting clothes greener than buying them? Sustainable (可持续的) fashion expert Elizabeth Cline isn’t sure. Clothing renting is a hot new industry and businessmen are trying to attract shoppers who care about the environment. Last summer alone,Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s American EagleandBanana Republicall announced renting services – a sure sign of changing times.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it? And if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in a feature article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as sustainable as it seems.
Take shipping for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented – receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.
Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most renting services, this usually means dry-cleaning, which is a polluting process. All the renting services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene, a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutants that’s still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物) alternatives, although these aren’t great either. They can produce harmful waste and air pollution if not handled correctly.
Lastly, Cline fears that renting services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it’s so easily accessible. There’s something called “share-washing” that makes people have more wasteful behaviors because a product or service is shared and thus is considered more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this: advertised as a way to share rides and reduce car ownership, and yet it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling and public transportation use.
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them into the bin after wearing them a few times, but we shouldn’t let the availability of these services make us self-satisfied. There’s an even better step – and that’s wearing what we already have.
12. What do we know about Elizabeth Cline from the passage?
A. She is trying to attract shoppers.
B. She is an expert and journalist.
C. She has created “share-washing”.
D. She never rents clothes.
13. Why does renting services increase people’s appetite for fast fashion?
A. Because it is handled correctly.
B. Because it is transported easily.
C. Because it is fairly eco-friendly.
D. Because it is easily accessible.
14. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Clothing renting became popular ten years ago.
B. Consumer transportation has the largest carbon footprint.
C. Renting clothes deserves further consideration.
D. Uber is a good example of sharing rides.
15. Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from?
A. Environment.
B. Technology.
C. Travel.
D. Medicine.
