Sometimes
people around you can change your life. The change
may not be sudden or 1 ，but
little habits
can produce big 2 that make you think about
what is important in your life. The
person who
changed my life is Julia Masi. She has 3 me so
many things that I will carry with
me 4 my
life.
One thing I've learned from Julia is how
to balance 5 ．Julia has shown me how to 6
ahead so that
I can finish all my school
work，enjoy sports and 7 have time for my
friends. She has taught me that you
can do
anything if you are 8 — never give up. I've
also learned that you can find anything 9 if
you
connect it with something that you enjoy.
Last year I hated studying vocabulary，but I
loved playing on my computer. Julia 10 the two
and
showed me a website called“” where you can
11 a word game that gives you 5 grains of rice
to donate to the poor with every correct word.
She 12 me to learn a hundred new 13 by
filling up the
rice bowl. I liked playing the
game so much that I 14 about 1，000 words in
just one month.
Julia has always 15 me to
try new hobbies. She showed me that going to the
theater could help me
become a better writer.
16 ，she taught me that discussing a play can
excite an interest in reading.
17 it
weren't for Julia I probably wouldn't have 18
how easy it is to help the poor. There are so
many ways that one person can 19 ．I've
learned to be more appreciative of what I own. I
am 20 for the
opportunities that I have
been given. I will continue to think of ways to
help those less fortunate for the rest
of my
life.

Tourism is
often about seeking deeper emotional and personal
connections with the world around us.
Not all
travel experiences，however，need to take place in
the real the evolution of virtual
reality(VR) technology，tourism will
increasingly become a combination of physical and
virtual world. VR
may even remove the need to
travel entirely.
But can a VR experience
really equal a real world? Many experts believe it
can. Studies have shown
that our brains have
an inbuilt VRlike mechanism that enables us to
live imagined experiences. Much of our
waking
life is spent thinking about either the past or
the is known as “mind wandering”．During
these
events we're not paying attention to the current
world around us. Instead, we're recalling
memories，or
creating and processing imagined
futures.
When engaged in mind wandering，our
brains process these mental images using the same
pathways
used to receive inputs from the real
，the imagined past or future can create emotions
and feelings
similar to how we react to
everyday can create these same feelings.
While critics might argue that a virtual
experience will never match reality，there are
several ways VR
tourism could make a positive
contribution. Firstly it could help protect
sensitive locations from
overtourism. In
recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in
Thailand，have had to limit the number of
visitors because of their negative places are
now producing their own VR experiences that
will allow tourists to pass through virtual
models of the sites.
Virtual reality may also
allow people back in time，to experience historical
events，visit ancient cities，
and even to walk
among dinosaurs.
Finally，in a world where many
people suffer from stress and depression due to
overwork，virtual
tourism may provide a cheap
and convenient way for people to take brief
holidays to otherwise unreachable
destinations
and recharge their batteries，without ever leaving
their homes.
It sounds like science fiction
but it's already happening(流行的)．As virtual
technology improves and
as people continue to
demand new and interesting experiences，more
virtual tourism will be expected，both
in
combination with the real world and instead of it．
1．What is driving the development of virtual
tourism?
A．Companies seeking to make more
money.
B．Improvements in virtual reality
technology.
C．People's demand for more shared
experiences.
D．People's deeper understanding
of the physical world.
2．Which of the
following best describes“mind wandering”?
A．The brain processes which help people think
VR is real.
B．The way the brain processes
inputs from the real world.
C．Brain activities
focusing on past or future events.
D．Experiences coming from a person's
imagination.
3．What does the underlined word
“it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Science
fiction. B．Virtual technology C．Virtual
tourism. D．The real world.
4．What is the
purpose of the passage?
A．To describe the
advantages of VR tourism.
B．To give
suggestions for reducing over tourism.
C．To
encourage people to develop VR technology.
D．To argue that VR tourism will replace the
real world travel.

8 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。大本钟是英国伦敦的地标性建筑
，因要对其进行保护性修缮，自2017
年8月21日起大本钟将不再敲响。但像除夕之
夜和阵亡将士纪念日这种重要的全国性活动，它将仍然会
为伦敦市民报时。
1．a
考查冠词。大本钟被认为是伦敦的一个地标性建筑。此处表示泛指，故填不定冠词a。
2．it 考查
代词。去伦敦旅游的游客可能会感到遗憾，他们在之后的几年里听不到钟声了。分析句子结
构可知，空处
在此作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面that引导的从句。故填it。
3．attractions
考查名词复数。大本钟的钟声是伦敦最有名的魅力之一。根据语境及句中的“one
of”可知
此处应填attractions。
4．are assessed
考查动词时态和语态。此处描述客观情况，应用一般现在时；又因assess与The
repairs
之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。故填are assessed。
5．falling 考查非谓语动词。fall与Big
Ben之间是逻辑上的主动关系，应用现在分词作后置定语。故填
falling。
6．extremely
考查副词。空处修饰形容词important，故用副词extremely“非常”。
7．on
考查介词。basis在此意为“基准，准则，方式”，常用于“on a ...
basis”结构中。故填on。
8．known 考查非谓语动词。know与the
clock之间是逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。
故填known。
9．because 考查状语从句。但是伦敦人不用担心，因为大本钟会继续为像除夕之夜和阵亡将士
纪念日这
样重要的全国性活动报时。分析句子结构可知，空处在此引导原因状语从句，前面是果，后面是
因，故
填because。
10．national
考查形容词。空处修饰名词“events”，应用形容词。故填national“国家的，全国的”。
