35、erican company called Blue Goji is using VR to improve ones health by making exercise more fun.Blue Goji has offices in Austin, the capital of Texas. The company showed its cardiovascular (心血管的) workout machine, called the Infinity treadmill (跑步机), at the recent South by Southwest festival, an event
36、 held every year in Austin.A person using the treadmill wears a virtual reality headset when exercising. Before starting, the user tightens a belt to prevent falls. Then, the user plays a VR game while running on the machine. The game can transport the user into the virtual world, where he or she ca

Mattiazzi said he had a strong feeling to actually get running and do something that pushed his limits. He said the experience was more interesting than running inside the gym without actually going anywhe
38、re.Constam said the active use of virtual reality helps solve a common problem while wearing a VR headset. She noted that a lot of VR experiences cause motion sickness because people are in motion during the game, but not moving in real life. But when the user is moving on the treadmill and in the g
39、ame, the chances of motion sickness are reduced.However, users who tested the treadmill while wearing the VR headset each had a different experience. Constam said there generally is a learning curve for VR. The first time users feel lost, but “the more you do it, the more you get used to it,” she sa

Objective.CSkateboarding is an action sport which includes riding and performing tricks using a skateboard, as well as an activity for fun, an art form, an entertainment in
43、dustry job, and a method of transportation. In 2016, it was announced that skateboarding will be represented at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.There are various theories about the origins of Skateboarding, but it is generally held that the sport began in the 1940s on the west coast of the
44、USA when metal wheels were attached to a narrow wooden board. In the 1950s，plastic replaced metal as the material of choice for the wheels, and the first “Roller Surfboard” become commercially available, which in turn developed into the skateboard that we know today. The sport was a big hit with the
45、 younger generation and grew in global popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. Since the late 1990s, skateboarding has become an important part of street culture.However, skateboarding has raised heated discussions in areas where the activity, although legal (合法的), has damaged stone works, steps, benches
46、, and parks. Certain cities oppose the building of skate parks in their neighborhoods, for fear of increased crime (犯罪) and drugs in the area. The disagreement between the old image of skateboarding and a newer one is quite obvious: magazines such as Thrasher describe skateboarding as dirty, and sti
47、ll firmly tied to punk (朋克), while other publications, Transworld Skateboarding as an example, paint a more different and controlled picture of skateboarding. As more professional skaters use hip hop, or hard rock music in their videos, many urban youths, hip-hop fans and hard rock fans are also dra
48、wn to skateboarding, weakening the sports punk image. Besides, group spirit influences the members of this community. In presentations of skateboarding, the evidence of crime is absent, and no attempt is made to tie extreme sports to any kind of illegal activity.The good news is that efforts have be
49、en made to improve recognition of the cultural heritage as well as positive effects of skateboarding in cities. By raising 790,000, the Long Live Southbank initiative managed to stop the destruction of a forty years old spot in London due to urban planning, a rescuing operation whose effect extends
50、beyond skateboarding. The presence of skateboarders on this public space keeps the area under nearly constant watch and drives homeless people away, increasing the feeling of safety in the area. The activity attracts artists such as photographers and film makers, as well as a significant number of t
51、ourists, which in turn drives economic activity in the neighborhood.61. Which statement about skateboarding is TRUE?A. It is a newly-added Olympic sport.B. It has its origins in Europe.C. It requires a good sense of balance.D. It has a history of 80 years.62. The wheels of the first “Roller Surfboar
52、d” were made of .A. woodB. metalC. plasticD. stone63. What does the author argue for in paragraph 3?A. Skateboarding should be banned in public places.B. Skateboarding is associated with crime and drugs.C. Skateboarding shouldnt be tied to illegal activities.D. Skateboarding has a negative effect on
53、 peoples life.64. How could skateboarding benefit cities according to the last paragraph?A. Taking care of homeless people.B. Raising money for urban planning.C. Keeping track of illegal activities.D. Promoting economic development.DI sit on the stoop (门廊) in front of my friends house at the top of
54、a steep hill. And now my friend is late, and Im stuck here waiting.I see a man approaching.“Por favor. Call 911,” the man says. “Finger. Cut.” With his left hand, he is pressing the handkerchief around his right little finger.“No. Have. Phone,” I say, as if English is also my second language.“Have p
55、hone,” he says, and dips his chin toward his front pants pocket. There, I find a phone, and call 911.The operator answers, and I say “Im with this guy, and he cut his finger.”“Did he cut it off?”“Did you cut it off?”“Si.” He sighs. “Yes. He cut it off.”“Where is it?” the operator asks.“Where is it?”
56、“Upstairs,” he says, pointing with his elbow to the house next door.“Go get it,” she instructs me.I follow the man toward the house. Inside, I see a table saw (锯), and the blood spreading across the ceiling, but I dont see the finger. I lift up each foot and look underneath to be sure Ive not steppe
57、d on it. Im getting that jumpy, tight-shouldered feeling like when youve lost sight of a spider that was on your ceiling a moment ago.“Do you see it?” I ask him.He points at his own finger beside the table saw. I grab a paper towel, pinching it carefully, the way you might pick up a harmless but fri
58、ghtening insect.“We have secured the finger,” I tell the operator.“Hang tight. The ambulance is on its way.”We sit on the stoop waiting for the ambulance.“Youre going to be OK,” I say, putting my free hand on his sawdust-covered back. “Gracias,” he says.“De nada. Esta no problem,” I reply in broken
59、Spanish.It feels good to be able to comfort someone, anyone. For months now, the second my hands would go idle (闲散的), a familiar depression would climb on my back. I have been trying to put on a good face for my kid, but I feel as if Ive been failing. Could I save myself? I wouldnt know how. But I a
60、m determined to save this man.Finally the ambulance arrives, picks him up, and theyre off.Throughout the evening, I cant stop worrying about the man. I decide to call the hospital. “Hi! I helped a guy who cut off his finger, and I dont even know his name, but Im wondering whether he came to your hos
61、pital.”The nurse says, “His name is Jose Ramos, and hes waiting for surgery. Would you like to leave a message?”“No. I dont want to bother him. I just wanted to be sure he was OK.”The next morning, I call the hospital again. This time, Im put through to Joses room. “How was the surgery?”“No surgery,
62、” he says. “No enough blood.”“Oh, Im sorry,” I say.Later that day, I remember that old proverb about how if you save someones life, you are responsible for them for the rest of their life, which never made sense to me before. Shouldnt the person who got saved owe a debt, and not the other way around
63、? But today, I get it. Its a great honor to help someone in need.I start keeping a lookout for other people in need of assistance. I help push a stalled car out of the road. I aid a disoriented cyclist when her bike gets clipped by a car. I adopt a dog. Then one day, a month or two after the finger
64、incident, I realize I have completely forgotten to be depressed. Ive been so busy playing the role of local hero that I have ignored to drag my feet and stare into space and imagine the world without me.Now, more than a decade has passed since Joses accident. Occasionally I search for “Jose” plus “R
65、amos” plus “finger.” I wish I could see him again, to see how hes getting on. But more important, to thank him, because when he lost his finger, he saved my life.65. The man might have been when he had his finger cut off.A. cleaning and decorating the ceilingB. cutting vegetable with a table sawC. c
66、utting the wooden table into piecesD. making or repairing wooden objects66. The underlined sentence shows the author felt at that moment.A. shockedB. anxiousC. confusedD. excited67.

She suffers from serious depression.D. She is out of work and under pressure.69. What helps the author get rid of her

But a new study suggests that too much soci
70、al media leads to disconnection and lonelinessbasically the opposite of what we are led to believe.The study, Social Media Use and Perceived Social Isolation Among Young Adults in the U.S, which was published on March 6, 2017 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that heavy use of pl
71、atforms such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram was associated with feelings of social isolation (孤独) among young adults.Study co-author Brian Primack and his team from the Center for Research on Media, Technology and Health at the University of Pittsburgh surveyed 1,787 U.S. adults aged 19 to 32
72、and asked them about their usage of 11 social media platforms (outside of work). They also asked participants questions related to social isolation, such as how often they felt left out. The participants who reported spending the most time on social media-over two hours a day-had twice the possibili
73、ty of social isolation than those who said they spent a half-hour per day or less on the same sites. Additionally, people who visited social media platforms most frequently (58 visits per week or more) had more than three times the possibility of perceived social isolation than those who visited the
74、m fewer than nine times per week.According to Tom Kersting, psychotherapist and author of Disconnected, the key to understanding these results lies in our understanding of “connections.” “Humans are social-emotional beings, meaning that it is in our DNA to be connected, face-to-face, with other huma
75、ns,” he told Readers Digest. “Although people think being on social media all the time makes them connected to others, they are actually disconnected, because the more time one spends behind a screen, the less time one spends face-to-face.”“Part of the issue of loneliness is that the majority of peo
76、ple who use social media arent just posting, they are also viewing,” Kersting continued. “They are spending a lot of time looking at everyone else，s posts, where they are, where they are going and what they are doing. Then everyone elses perfect life experiences cause them to have feelings of being
77、left out, of being lonely.”So whats the answer? Its simple, says Kerstingalthough it does involve a significant amount of will power. “To solve this, what you should do is resist the temptation (诱惑) to look at everyone elses life. Just focus on your own life, where youre going, what you are grateful
78、 for, and what you want to accomplish in this world. Then go out and do it and stop wasting so much time comparing.” How social media use can (71) loneliness(72) of the studyContrary to popular belief, heavy users of social media may feel (73) and lonely. People who spent over two hours are twice mo

People who visited social media platforms most (75) tend to feel left out in comparison with those who visited them fewer than nine times per week.Reasons behind the problem Lost in social media, people (76) to afford enough
