二、阅读理解 (共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分)
Recently, research on how a new virtual reality (VR) experience educated primary children about the fire disasters was done. It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safer in a fire.
Focusing on children aged 10-12 years old, the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend's dog just before a fire event begins to unfold. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.
The findings showed that more than 80 per cent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly evaluate the options and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. This is especially significant considering that 91 per cent of participants originally lacked any knowledge of fires, and that 67 per cent had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.
The researchers believed such immersive (沉浸式的) VR experiences had real potential to engage, educate and empower the young. “As children born in digital times, they are engaged by such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment,” said Delene Weber，one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide an opportunity for children to apply newly acquired knowledge, strengthen their learnt concepts, and enable immediate feedback—all incredibly valuable learning tools.”
Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong，and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. Yet the capacity for children to contribute to fire safety at their household should not be underestimated.
“Children do not need to be passive victims of disasters and with purpose-built virtual reality experiences such as these, we can help empower children to understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber.
1. How does the new VR experience try to educate children
A. By letting them solve virtual problems.
B. By analyzing the causes of a fire event.
C. By introducing a virtual friend to them.
D. By guiding them to ask a clog for help.
2. What did the result of the research about VR experiences show
A. Many children found it hard to adapt to them.
B. They could greatly help ensure children’s safety.
C. They worked for children with knowledge of fire.
D. Most children had a misunderstanding about them.
3. What does Weber think of the new VR experiences
A. Unrealistic. B. Dangerous. C. Unnecessary. D. Significant.
4. What can be the most suitable title for the text
A. VR education appeals to the young generation
B. VR experiences make learning easier for kids
C. VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire
D. VR technology makes no sense in fighting a fire

一、填空题
1.答案： Interruptions
解析：考查名词。句意：当你试图完成工作时，干扰是最糟糕的事情之一。分析句子结构可知，空处缺少名词作主语，根据are可知，主语为复数，interrupt对应的名词复数为interruptions，放在句首的单词首字母大写。故填：Interruptions。
2.答案：those

8.答案：paid
解析：句意为: 随着人们对全民健身高度重视, 新型体育运动开始兴起。此处考查 with 的复合结构, pay 与其逻辑主语 attention 之间构成被动关系, 故用过去分词作宾补。故填 paid。

二、阅读理解 (共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分)
Journalists are the major group of people who make their living from writing. Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills. Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require different qualities, the aspiration(志向) to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would—be journalist.
Most people want their work to be recognized by others. This helps to give it value. Some people also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status(地位) in the eyes of society.
It is not a bad motive to wish to be famous, but this must never become your main reason for being a journalist. You will not be a good journalist if you care more for impressing your audience than for serving their needs.
Knowing the power of the printed or spoken word or image, some people enter journalism for the power it will give them to influence people. There is a strong belief that journalists control the mass media but the best journalists recognize their role as servants of the people. There is a difference between the desire to influence events for your own sake, and the desire to do it for other people. You should never use journalism for selfish ends, but you can use it to improve the life of other people.
Curiosity is a natural part of most people's characters and an important ingredient for any journalist. Lots of young men and women enter the profession with the desire to know more about the world without needing to specialize in limited fields of study. Most journalists tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject. Knowledge has many uses. It can simply help to make you a fuller and more interesting person. It can also give you power over people, especially people who do not have that particular knowledge. Always bear in mind that power can be used in a positive way to improve people's lives.
1.What can we know from the first paragraph？
A. Journalists are most likely to become great writers.
B. Writing for newspapers is similar to writing for novels.
C. Journalism can be used as a means to improve writing.
D. Most of the journalists make a living by writing books.
2.Why do some people want themselves to be recognized？
A. To earn much wealth. B. To get great power.
C. To gain high position. D. To learn rich knowledge.
3.What is most necessary for journalists according to Paragraph 4？
A. Having a wide range of knowledge.
B. Being specialized in a certain field.
C. Being good at making friends with others.
D. Being able to speak a foreign language well.
4.What does the text mainly talk about？
A. The development of journalism.
B. The challenges journalists face now.
C. Why people choose a career in journalism.
D. How to become a qualified journalist.
三、七选五 (共5小题；每小题4分，满分20分)
The interview process is a part of nearly all hiring decisions. ①____ The process can provide understanding about the attitude and character of the applicant.

③____ Often, interviews are a second or final step of the hiring process, after applications and resumes have been presented. An employer may choose to interview all of the candidates, or a few top applicants that seem to have the most experience. Interviews may be conducted over the phone or in person. Phone interviews may be done to narrow the field to only a few candidates.

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案：that
解析：句意为: 好消息是我们已经研制出一种对抗这种新病毒的疫苗。此处 we have developed a vaccine against the new virus 是表语从句,从句结构完整,不缺成分,所以应用连接词that。
2.答案：astonished
解析：句意为: 当我听到爆炸声时, 我感到又好奇又惊讶, 并冲出了宿舍。此处表示 “感到惊讶的”, 应用-ed 结尾的形容词,故填astonished 。
3.答案：argument
解析：句意为: 最重要的是尽力不要让平静的讨论变成激烈的争吵。设空处作 turn into 的宾语, 且空前有形容词 heated 修饰,应用名词; 由不定冠词 a 可知, 应用单数形式。故填 argument。
4.答案：fried
解析：考查形容词。根据设空处后的名词可知此处应用形容词,修饰chicken wings应用fry的形容词形式fried。fried chicken wings意为“炸鸡翅”,故填fried。
5.答案：has acquired
解析：考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据句中时间状语 since middle school可知该句应该用现在完成时,又因主语 He是第三人称单数,故填has acquired。acquire a taste for...意为“开始喜欢……”。
6.答案：of
解析：考查介词。句意:他被指控偷了一个小男孩的自行车,那是他的生日礼物。accuse sb. of doing sth.意为“指控某人做某事”,此处为其被动语态be accused of doing sth.
7.答案：what
解析：考查主语从句。句意:我认为他的演讲让我印象最深的是他引用的莎士比亚的话。thought后面为省略了that的宾语从句,根据系动词was可知宾语从句为“主系表”结构,其中______ impressed me most about his speech为主语,设空处引导主语从句且在从句中作主语,根据表语 the sentence...可知主语表示“……的事或物”,所以引导词用what。
8.答案：Knowing
解析：考查动名词作主语。句意:了解一些建议将有助于确保你和朋友或家人用餐愉快。根据 will help(谓语)可知______ (know) some tips在句中作主语,且表示一般性概念,所给提示词是动词,所以应用动名词短语作主语,句首单词首字母大写,故填 Knowing。
9.答案：spied
解析：考查动词时态。句意:黑客创建了暗中监视用户或未经允许获取手机信息的应用程序。spy on 意为“暗中监视”。分析句意和句子结构可知,that引导定语从句,指代先行词applications,关系词在从句中作主语,设空处是定语从句中的谓语。定语从句中连词or连接两个并列的谓语,根据第二个谓语 accessed的时态可知设空处也要用一般过去时,故填spied。
10.答案：that
解析：考查同位语从句。句意:当局不同意残疾人不适宜教学的观点。设空处后面的部分解释说明了view的具体内容,且语义完整,不缺成分,所以设空处引导同位语从句,故填that。
二、阅读理解
1.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的"Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills"(许多将来想当作家的年轻人把新闻工作作为一种谋生同时又能锻炼写作技巧的方式)可推知新闻学可以用作提高写作水平的一种手段。故选C项。
2.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第三句"Some people also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status in the eyes of society." (有些人也希望自己被认可,让自己在社会的眼中有地位。)可知,有些人希望自己被认可是为了获得很高的地位。故选C。
3.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的"Most journalists tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject"(大部分新闻工作者对很多事情都略有所知,而不是精通某一学科)可知他们的知识面比较广。故选A项。
4.答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段中"Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require different qualities, the aspiration (志向) to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would-be journalist."(尽管为报纸写作和为书籍写作需要不同的素养,但志在成为一名出色的作家的志向并没有被成为准记者所阻挡。)并结合通读全文可知,本文主要介绍人们选择从事新闻业常见的动机和原因,即为什么人们选择从事新闻业。故选C项。
三、七选五
答案：GFECA
解析：①根据上句“The interview process is a part of nearly all hiring decisions(面试过程几乎是所有招聘决定的一部分)”可知， 面试过程非常重要，G项：It is considered by many experts to be the most important hiring practice.(许多专家认为这是最重要的招聘实践)承接上句，说明面试过程的重要性。“it”指代上句中的“the interview process”。故选G。
②根据后句“It is also for the candidate to decide whether the job is right for him or her.(这也是候选人决定工作是否适合他或她)”中的also可知， 空处陈述内容应和下文为并列关系。F项：The interview may be about whether the candidate is right for the job.(面试可能是关于应聘者是否适合这份工作)符合题意，和后句共同说明面试对双方的作用。故选F。
③根据后句“Often, interviews are a second or final step of the hiring process, after applications and resumes have been presented. An employer may choose to interview all of the candidates, or a few top applicants that seem to have the most experience.(通常情况下,面试是招聘程序的第二步或最后一步，在提交申请和简历之后。雇主可能会选择面试所有的候选人，或者几个看起来最有经验的
候选人)”说明雇主进行面试的不同方式。E项：Employers may conduct an interview process in different ways.(雇主可能会以不同的方式进行面试)合乎题意。故选E。
④空处位于段末应承接上文。 根据上文“Since the interview process may take place weeks or months after applications are submitted, phone interviews allow the employer to know whether the applicant is still interested in the job. In-person interviews permit the most detailed examination for both the candidate and the employer(由于面试过程可能在申请提交数周或数月后进行，电话面试可以让雇主知道申请人是否仍对这份工作感兴趣。面对面的面试可以对求职者和雇主进行最详细的检查)”推知，空处对上文内容进行总结。C项：So it may take longer time than a phone interview.(所以面试时间可能比电话面试要长)和上句构成因果关系，因为面对面的面试可以对求职者和雇主进行最详细的检查，所以面试时间可能比电话面试要长。故选C。
⑤上句“During the interview process, the employer may ask a variety of questions about the applicant's motives, ambitions, experience, education, and personality(在面试过程中，雇主可能会问各种各样的问题，关于申请人的动机、抱负、经验、教育和个性)”与A项：This information is generally kept private.(这些信息通常是保密的)承接自然，选项中的this information指代上文的a variety of questions about the applicant's motives, ambitions, experience, education, and personality。故选A。
