三、阅读理解
18. If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）equipment. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants(参与者) in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily ( lasting only for a short time ) became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."
The equipment is ly simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.
To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Finally, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.
By using such technology it is likely to change people's behaviour afterwards---possibly for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism---the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations(联系)between, for example, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has experienced the feeling of being that person.
The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."
68. The underlined word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to_________.
A. building

69. We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that____________.
A. our feelings are related to our bodily experience
B. we can learn to take control of other people's bodies
C. participants will live more enthusiastically after the experiment
D. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes
70. In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark
skinned digital character, __________.
A. they fought strongly against racism
B. they scored lower on the test for racism
C. they changed their behaviour greatly

71. It can be concluded from the passage that_________.
