Part 2 阅读理解

I stayed up so late last night that I felt hard to get out of my bed. Okay, I had been lost in a new game. I was attracted into finishing all of its tasks, which kept me up till midnight. The interesting game was still in my head, but there was something more urgent to be done. I had to attend a conference 10 minutes later! Plenty of time. I got up slowly and spread out my arms and legs. I put on the VR glasses and sat myself down in a comfortable position. With five minutes to go, I still had time to calm myself and gather my mind. I looked at the bottom of the screen. Umm, it’s October 27th, 2031.

The project was not simple and since I didn’t have breakfast, I couldn’t think well.

10:35 a.m.

I was improving my project as a new nurse came in to give me a summary report. She was a little green, appearing nervous and making some speaking mistakes. I was about to give her some help when she suddenly disappeared. Then suddenly, she reappeared in front of me. “Sorry, it was my network connection.”

12:05 a.m.

Lunch time, at last! I couldn’t wait to take my glasses off. But at the thought of my completely empty fridge, I had to put on my glasses again to order food online. Seconds later, the doorbell rang and outside stood the deliveryman (投递员) holding my food.

“Thanks for your delivery, but how come you look so realistic (逼真的)?” Curiosity drove me to ask, but it turned out that I was indeed dizzy (头晕的). “Sorry, perhaps I mean you are real rather than realistic.”

Part 3 任务型阅读

阅读下面短文,按要求完成各题。

Have you ever imagined going inside of a video game? That dream may soon become real. It’s called the “metaverse” (元宇宙). The metaverse is a shared virtual (虚拟的) 3D world, or worlds. The word is made up of “meta”, which means beyond, and “verse” which refers to universe. The word first appeared in a 1992 science fiction book called Snow Crash. In this story, people wear virtual reality ( VR ) headsets to see and join the metaverse.

Now, what happens in the book is becoming a reality. Wearing a VR headset, you can meet other people wherever they are.You can work and play with them. It will feel real because the technology can simulate( 模拟) our senses: vision( 视觉), hearing, touch, and even smell.

“We re talking about creating another reality, another world, that’s as rich as the real world,” said a vice president of a US tech company.

What can we do inside of the metaverse? Your location (位置) will no longer matter. In the metaverse, “people..., would be connected at all times...” You can meet friends from other countries and go on a virtual beach vacation together. But forget Thailand—you can go to the beach on the moon, or anywhere else you can imagine. Can’t find a friend to play basketball? Jump into the metaverse and find some friends to play with or go to a concert!

Perhaps the metaverse will change our idea of what is real.

Shanghai is now home to the     21     largest 3D-printed concrete(混凝土制的) bridge, produced by a team     22     the School of Architecture at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

The bridge was modeled on the well-known Zhaozhou Bridge in Hebei Province, which was built in the Sui Dynasty, and is China’s     23     standing bridge.
