1、很多人会对未来人类的生活进行设想：在月亮上度假，用水浇灌沙漠，有更加健康的绿色食品等。这些设想会成为现实吗？让我们读一读下面这篇文章来了解2060年的生活会是什么样的吧！Life in 2060Let us suppose it is now about AD 2060.Lets make believe it is about 40 years from now.Of course，things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day.It is as easy
2、to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.At a number of scenic spots on the moon，many hotels have been built.The hotels are air conditioned，naturally.

11、ne: how it works，why it is better than a film, and how it can be used in other ways. The RealCine experience will amaze you，and you will agree that this is an extraordinary technology that deserves to be developed further.The technology behind RealCine is virtual reality (VR). Unlike a film, where a
12、 passive audience watches and hears what is happening on a screen, RealCine puts you into the action and connects with your senses of sight, hearing, smell and touch in an active way. Imagine that a VR user goes sightseeing in the Himalayas. Not only will he or she feel every step of climbing Mount
13、Qomolangma，but the user will also experience the cold, smells, sights and sounds of the surrounding environment; he or she will enjoy a feeling of happiness and a sense of achievement upon reaching the top.RealCine works by making the users feel that they are really in a new worlda world that does n
14、ot exist except in a computer program. To achieve this, special VR headsets(头戴式耳机)are designed to allow the users to see in 3D and hear the sound all around them. The movements of the headset indicate the direction in which the user wants to go. The user also wears special gloves so he or she can to
15、uch the people and objects that he or she sees. To add to the virtual world of RealCine, the headsets even have small openings that give out smells to match the environment. Both the headsets and the gloves are connected to a computer network in the VR studio(演播室)不只是看电影RealCine人人都能享受的虚拟现实本介绍将给你陈述关于R
16、ealCine的一些信息：它的工作原理，它比普通电影优越的原因所在，以及它的其他用途。RealCine的经历会使你惊讶，你将会认同：这是一项非凡的技术，值得对其进行进一步开发利用。支持RealCine的技术是虚拟现实(VR)。电影仅仅让观众被动地看和听屏幕上发生的事，而RealCine与电影不同，它让你参与到剧情活动中，以一种主动的方式与你的视觉、听觉、嗅觉和触觉联系起来。想象一下，一位VR使用者在喜马拉雅山“观光”。使用者不仅能感受到攀登珠穆朗玛峰的每一步的艰辛，还能体验到周围环境的寒冷、气味、景观和声音；到达顶峰时，他们将会享受到一种愉悦感和成就感。RealCine的工作原理是让使用者觉得
17、自己身处真实的新世界中一个只在电脑程序中存在的世界。为了达到这种效果，需要设计专门的VR耳机，这种耳机可以让使用者欣赏到三维世界，听到环绕在他们身边的声响。VR耳机的移动方向表明使用者想移动的方向。使用者还要戴上专门的手套，这样，他或她就可以“触摸”看到的人和物体了。给RealCine虚拟世界锦上添花的是，耳机上甚至还有一些小孔，可以释放出与环境相匹配的气味。VR耳机和手套均与虚拟现实工作室里的计算机网络相连接。助读讲解not only.but(also).连接两个分句，若not only位于句首表示强调时，所在的分句用倒装语序，but(also)分句不倒装。that引导定语从句，修饰先行词a
18、 world。“介词关系代词”引导的定语从句，which指代the direction。that引导定语从句，修饰the people and objects，先行词既包含人又包含物，故定语从句引导词只能用that。that give out smells是that引导的定语从句，修饰small openings。In scientific studies it has been shown that VR can be a good treatment for people who have social(社交的) problems. In one case，a teenager who w
19、as afraid of talking and playing with his schoolmates was treated with VR. In the world created by RealCine， he became the captain of the Brazilian(巴西的) football team and scored the winning goal in a World Cup final. This encouraged him to become more confident around others.An argument has been put
20、 forward that some users will be disappointed by RealCine because VR is not real. However, with VR we are able to do things that could never be achieved in real life. For example, with the aid of RealCine，a seventyyearold grandfather recently took a trip to Africa. In reality , he is disabled and ca
21、n no longer walk，but he was able to see and touch a lion while still in the convenience of the VR studio.科学研究表明，虚拟现实可以为有社交障碍的人提供一种好的治疗。在一个案例中，一个害怕与他的同学交流和玩耍的青少年接受了一次虚拟现实治疗。在RealCine虚拟世界里，他扮演巴西足球队队长的角色，并且在一场世界杯决赛中踢进了决定胜负的一球。这鼓励他在周围人面前变得更加自信。有争议提出说有些使用者对RealCine感到失望，因为虚拟现实毕竟不是真实的。然而，借助虚拟现实我们能够实现现实生活中根
22、本不可能实现的事情。比如，借助于RealCine，一位70岁的老爷爷最近去非洲旅行了。在现实中，他因为残疾已经不能走路，但是借助VR工作室里设备的便利，他能看见并抚摸一头狮子。助读讲解本段中含有两个who引导的定语从句，分别修饰people和a teenager。过去分词短语created by RealCine作后置定语，修饰the world。that some users will be.是that引导的同位语从句，解释说明An argument的具体内容。定语从句that could never be achieved in real life修饰things。while引导的时间状语
23、从句的省略形式，其完整形式是while he was still in the convenience of the VR studio。因为从句的主语和主句的主语相同，且从句的谓语动词是连系动词be，所以he was可以省略。Besides this，VR can be used to practise skills in a secure environment that otherwise would be quite dangerous. For example, firefighters could use RealCine to train safely，without the r
24、isk of getting injured(伤害) in a burning building. It could be used in class as well.Teachers could bring history alive by placing students in an ancient town，or they could teach biology(生物学) by allowing students to experience the world as a whale(鲸) or a squirrel(松鼠)Finally, RealCine provides fantas
25、tic technology for urban(城市的) planning.Engineers can enter the design of a neighbourhood(街区) into a computer，and then use VR to walk around the neighbourhood, see how it looks and make changes before construction is carried out . This kind of urban planning is in the long term cheaper and more pract
26、ical, compared with the way most urban planning is done today. I recommend the government use this technology in the future planning of this city.除此之外，VR技术还可以应用于技能训练，使原本危险的训练环境变得安全。比如，消防队员可以利用RealCine安全地进行训练，而不必冒着在燃烧的建筑物中受伤的危险。也可以将其用到课堂教学上。老师可以让学生置身于古代的城镇，从而让历史重现；也可以让学生模拟鲸或者松鼠来体验世界，用这种方式来进行生物课的教学。最后
27、，RealCine给城市规划提供了绝妙的技术。工程师可以把街区设计输入电脑，然后利用虚拟现实在街区“漫步”，看看效果如何，然后在实施建设之前做一下调整。长远来说，与现在大多数城市规划方式相比，这种城市规划方式更经济、更实用。我建议政府在城市未来规划中使用这项技术。助读讲解that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词environment。过去分词短语作状语。其中most urban.is done today 作the way的定语。recommend的宾语从句，其谓语动词为should use，should已省略。第一步速读了解文章主题和段落大意速读P4243教材课文，回答下面的问题。1The pur
