16、youre in the middle of everything.Its happening around you.”可知，体验产品的人，感觉自己置身声音之中，就像一切发生在自己身边，所以他们觉得这个设备太逼真了。故选C。3B细节理解题。根据第五段中“The demo (样本) version of the device included nature videos of birds on a lake, bees flying and a quiet waterway(该设备的演示版是一段大自然的视频，能听到湖面上空的鸟鸣，蜜蜂飞行的声音和安静的流水声)”可知，这个设备的使用者可以欣赏到自

22、生向日葵种子让学生去种，希望他们能收获更多的瓜子，可是有个学生开始很耐心，后来变得不耐烦，最终没能收获向日葵种子。1pupils考查名词复数。根据下文的them可知，此处的学生不止一个，pupil要用复数形式，故填pupils。2who考查关系代词。这是个非限制性定语从句，先行词是boy，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，故填who。3with考查介词。分析句式结构可知，此处的“great care for many days”是作伴随状语，要用介词短语作状语，with名词短语构成的介词短语可以作状语，故填with。4filled考查过去分词。分析句式结构，when引导的时间状语从句中的主句和从句均
23、有谓语动词，设空处所给提示词要用其非谓语形式，fill常常用其过去分词短语作状语，filled with充满，故填filled。5was考查主谓一致。句意：老师说他还需要照料向日葵很长时间才能够收集很多的种子。根据主语he可知用单数形式，故填was。6disappointed考查形容词。设空处位于be动词后，常用形容词作表语，disappoint常常用其分词形式充当形容词，现在分词修饰物，过去分词修饰人，此句的主语是boy，故填disappointed。7looking考查固定用法。“keep doing sth.”是固定用法，意思是“继续做某事”，故填looking。8be eaten考查语
24、态。本句的主语seeds与谓语eat之间是被动关系，设空前是情态动词，其后用动词的被动形式，故填be eaten。9the考查冠词。单数名词前，常常需要冠词修饰，sunflower在上文中提到，需用定冠词，故填the。10angrier考查形容词比较级。上文中提到男孩非常懊恼，看到其他学生的向日葵长得那么大，他感到更生气了，此处要用形容词的比较级，故填angrier。.书面表达父亲节快要到了，Readers Digest杂志社在为父亲节的特刊征稿，征集写给父亲的感谢信。请你以李华的名义按要求写封感谢信投稿。要求：1写作词数应为80左右；2请在信中至少列举一个父亲关爱你的事例。Dear Fath
