Virtual reality cured my fear of heights Fay Nugent, who developed a fear of heights in her 30s, heard about a phobia therapy trial taking place in Oxford University.

But, 【1】 she was placed in the control group rather than the treatment one that would try out the new 【2】a virtual reality (VR) program for acrophobia (the medical term for a fear of heights). The ones in the treatment group--44 in all---were given five or six 30-minute sessions (时间段）of the VR treatment over the 【3】 of two weeks. The results, which are being published by The Lancet Psychiatry, were significant. About 70% of the VR group no longer had a fear of heights, while, 【4】 , all of the people in the control group, who received no treatment, still did.

Many people around the world have seen Danny Boyle’s movie Trainspotting based on Irvine Welsh’s novel of the same name and starring Ewan McGregor, but how many of us can really claim to ______ what train-spotting is all about? Now this is not considered the coolest hobby in town and the word “train-spotter”, in Britain has become similar in meaning to "geek" or "nerd (蠢货或书呆子),but is this _____ really deserved? First of all, let’s ______ train-spotting. There are said to be some 100,000 train-spotters in the UK. What do they do? Well, exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the serial numbers of the trains that leave and arrive and write them down. The ______ is to have seen every train in the country. Being keen on railways and trains is not a _____ hobby and dates back to 1804 when Richard Trevithick built the first steam locomotive, which pulled a load of ten tons of iron, 70 men and five wagons along a nine-mile stretch of track in two hours. As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow. Is this any ______ than people who love cars? So, what do you need to be a train-spotter? Well, it’s a wonderfully ______ pastime—all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers. The modem train-spotter may also carry binoculars(望远镜)and a video camera, but for the purists these are _____. It’s interesting to note that despite the stigma(污名）of train-spotting, there have been famous railway _____ in history, such as the poet WH Auden, the comedian Michael Palin and, of course, Alfred Hitchcock, who was a fan of trains and featured them regularly in his films, especially The 39 Steps. There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a(n) _____ British hobby. One glance at the US train sites should be enough to _____ you that transatlantic train-spotters are alive and well. In America, they try to call rail fans ‘trainfans' and talk of ‘trainfanning’.. Don’t let this _____you—these people are train-spotters and there are a lot of them. Each month, two million pages are visited on the website TrainWeb.org. So call them ‘nerds' or ‘geeks’, but they are here to stay and this is _____ not a hobby that is violent or dangerous in any way, nor does it cause any kind of damage to the environment. What do you think is healthier—sitting in front of a TV screen and ______ those who do something that doesn’t interest you? Or going out and finding and following your ______whatever that happens to be? I know what I think. 【1】A.discover B.know C.wonder D.consider 【2】A.occupation B.reputation C.ignorance D.practice 【3】A.face B.find C.discuss D.define 【4】A.aim B.answer C.advice D.approach 【5】A.special B.modem C.life-long D.personal 【6】A.stranger B.more interesting C.more common D.freer 【7】A.relaxing B.weird C.inexpensive D.unpopular 【8】A.relieving B.priceless C.sufficient D.unnecessary 【9】A.enthusiasts B.engineers C.developers D.passengers 【10】A.originally B.peculiarly C.inevitably D.progressively 【11】A.warn B.promise C.convince D.disappoint 【12】A.hurt B.seize C.oppose D.fool 【13】A.formerly B.similarly C.astonishingly D.certainly 【14】A.criticizing B.envying C.training D.imitating 【15】A.suggestion B.step C.passion D.model

The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can boss around your appliances. Children are likely to grow up thinking everything is sentient, or at least interactive: One app developer told The Washington Post that after interacting with Amazon’s Alexa, his kid started talking to coasters. But even without chatty gadgets, research suggests that under certain circumstances, people anthropomorphize everyday products. We personify things because we’re lonely. In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to give free will and consciousness to various devices. In turn, feeling attached to objects can reduce loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they’d been excluded socially, they made up by lying about their number of friends on social networks—unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. The phone apparently stood in for real friends. When we personify products, they become harder to cast off. After being asked to evaluate their car's personality, people were less likely to say they intended to replace it soon. And anthropomorphizing objects is associated with a tendency to accumulate. So how do people assign characteristics to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are associated with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them—especially in competitive situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles(格栅) that were upturned like smiles and headlights that were slanted（倾斜的）like narrowed eyes sold best. The purchasers saw these features as increasing a car’s friendliness and aggressiveness, respectively. It’s little wonder so many companies use mascots（吉祥物）to bring brands to life. An analysis of 1,151 brand characters found symbols that were human or humanlike to be common. Personifying products and brands can backfire, however. When a coffee maker was anthropomorphized in an ad (“I am Aroma” versus just “Aroma”)，consumers felt betrayed by increases in its price. Now that speech-enabled coffee makers are on the market, maybe the machines can sweet-talk their way back into consumers, hearts. 【1】The word “anthropomorphize”（in paragraph 1) most probably means_________. A.think highly of something B.find a better way to rate something C.see something as humans D.use something as often as possible 【2】For the college students, the interaction with the phone served as a reminder that_________ . A.they were not lonely B.the phone had human qualities C.they needed real friends D.the phone was not always necessary 【3】The writer mentions an analysis of car sales in Germany in order to_________. A.show that friendliness is better received than aggressiveness B.highlight that a symbol looking like a smile appeals more to people C.explain why so many companies use mascots to promote their brands D.illustrate that people will judge something according to its appearance 【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Consumers should know more about a product before it is on the market. B.Products with a mascot are more likely to win consumers' hearts. C.Increases in a produces price may be accepted with a good ad. D.The personification of a product may not always work.

University Shotokan Karate Club Learn Karate—self-defense and fitness The university karate club was founded in 1962. All grades from beginners to advanced are welcome. The classes are suitable for both men and women and several women have obtained their black belt. TUESDAY AND THURSDAY 6.00—8.00 p.m. WEAVER HOUSE GYM FIRST LESSON FREE Hardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last few years, attacks on innocent people have increased. Each of us has some ability to defend ourselves, and by learning a form of self-defence, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect. Karate will show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increase self-confidence. Far too many people think martial arts (武术) are about violence. Martial arts training is based on a lot of respect, self-discipline, self-control and non-violence. We learn basic etiquette, courtesy and tolerance. Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times. Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of self-defence, health and self-development. Karate exercises the entire body. Techniques are practised on both sides of the body, therefore muscle imbalances do not occur and the strength, coordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are improved. Regular training in Karate improves the body’s physical endurance and flexibility. It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves. Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight. Training requires ongoing commitment and hard work. Some of you will give up, but a few of you will get your black belt. 【1】The passage is mainly intended to_________. A.tell readers the benefits of Karate B.attract readers to join the club C.encourage people to get their black belt D.correct people’s misunderstand of Karate 【2】What can be learned about University Shotokan Karate Club? A.More men than women have been its members. B.It tests members to see what level they are at. C.Members don’t need to pay for the lessons.

B.It involves people’s arm muscles more than body muscles C.It makes people healthy physically instead of mentally. D.It focuses as much on self-defence as on attack.

In the classic novel The Day of the Triffids, giant plants terrorise humanity. Triffids can walk and are equipped with poisonous stingers, but their real power lies in their ability to communicate and so plot against us. It sounds far-fetched, but since John Wyndham’s book was published in 1951, one aspect of this fiction has proved to be science fact: plants do talk to one another. It has long been known that insects such as pollinators (传粉者）and pests can distinguish between plants by the chemicals they release. What’s new is the idea that plants use their emissions to talk among themselves. “Plants release chemicals into the atmosphere—these can be viewed as a language in the sense that a plant releasing the chemicals can be viewed as ‘speaking’ and the plant receiving them as ‘listening’ and then responding,” says chemical ecologist James Blande at the University of Eastern Finland. Now we are discovering that air pollution can disrupt these communications. In one study, Blande and his colleagues put individual bumblebees into a box containing paper flowers resembling those of black mustard (芥末). When the scientists injected the scent of real black mustard flowers that grew in either a clean or polluted atmosphere the bumblebees’ reactions were unequivocal: they were immediately attracted to the unpolluted scent, while that from polluted air left them flying around aimlessly. It’s not just the clarity of plant language that gets disrupted，the “loudness” is affected, too. To find out how much things have changed since pre-industrial times, Jose Fuentes at the University of Virginia and his colleagues made a computer model that included historic air pollution levels. It revealed that scents(气味)produced by flowers that could once be picked up kilometres away now travel as little as 200 metres. Even between clean and dirty environments today, a similar reduction in signal can be seen. Take lima beans. When one plant is attacked by spider mites, it emits chemical signals that make others nearby produce more sugary nectar. This, in turn, attracts predatory mites, which eat the attackers. If the atmosphere is clean, Blande found, the beans easily communicate with neighbours growing 70 centimetres away. But in polluted conditions, their warning cries can’t be heard more than 20 centimetres away. 【1】The writer mentions the novel The Day of the Triffids in order to_________. A.show how far-fetched the novel is B.introduce the topic of the passage C.warn readers of a possible danger D.illustrate a new discovery of plants 【2】The word “unequivocal”（in paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to_________. A.familiar B.unpredictable C.different D.inter-related 【3】What can be inferred from the passage? A.The scent of plants can’t travel in a shorter distance in polluted air B.Classic novels are usually based on some proved scientific facts. C.It was in pre-industrial times that pollution came into existence. D.Warning cries made by insects are getting softer and softer. 【4】What is the passage mainly about? A.Chemical signals vary with the age of plants. B.Pollinators and insects either damage or benefit plants. C.Pollution has an impact on the communication between plants. D.Plants communicate with each other by means of what they emit.

We may have 750 friends online，but we’re lonely My phone and my laptop are within constant touching distance, whether Tm eating, drinking, in the shower, or watching the football. Before I get up every morning, I check my email, my texts and my Twitter feed. By the time I’ve got out of the shower, it’s time to do it again. I have a constant drip-drop of information from any of the 750 online friends and followers that I associate with. 【1】. How does a 28-year-old man get like this? 【2】 In a recent survey of young people, 60 percent said they found it difficult to make friends ‘in real life’ compared with online. I’m way beyond being an awkward teen, but I am wired up most of the day, as are most of my friends. I go to parties, pubs and dinners, but I am there only in spirit. Far from bringing me closer to people, my phone drives me further away. I feel isolated. During working hours, I chatter away on social-networking sites, delaying tasks. I am in a constant state of distraction. Paradoxically（矛盾地), I no longer see the very people I want to see because I have been ‘talking’ to them all day. Last weekend, I threw a dinner party. The moment that the food arrived, one best friend aged 26 got up to make a phone call while my other best friend, 27, sat through dinner checking Twitter for football scores. 【3】 Social networking dominates. The terrifying thing is that none of us can go cold turkey. 【4】If you’re an alcoholic, you can avoid alcohol, but how do I avoid the internet or my phone? I need it to do my job, because my employers demand that they can contact me at any time. That's the problem with social networking. You are hardwired in, but you are always the same cool distance apart. A. Yet I have never felt lonelier. B. I dropped Facebook for six months last year, but came back because I was missing invitations. C. I am not alone in feeling like an island. D. the thrill is looking for things to listen to rather than the listening. E. What’s worse is that I didn’t think either was being rude. F. Whatever I’m doing, wherever I am, I’ll tell you about it.

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Is Alan Sugar a Role Model? In this paper I would like to discuss the question 4Is Alan Sugar a role model for people going into business?9 There are certainly reasons to answer 'yes’ or ‘no’ to this question. Alan Sugar has definitely been a successful businessman and celebrity. He left school at 16 with no qualifications and started his own business selling electrical goods out of the back of a van. He now has an estimated fortune of £830 million and is the 84th richest man in the UK. His Amstrad CPC 464 was one of the first home computers and by the end of the 1980s Amstrad had a stock market value of £1.25 billion. In the nineties and later he started buying and selling companies such as Sinclair, Betacom, Viglen and eventually sold Amstrad itself, at a profit. He was also Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. He has now become a TV celebrity with his own TV series The Apprentice', which is a reality TV show where a group of young business people try to win an important position in Alan Sugar’s company. On the other hand, Alan Sugar has, for a long time, not been very popular with many people. He has a reputation for being a rude and insensitive man. He has treated the contestants on ‘The Apprentice’ badly. In fact Alan Sugar is best known for saying ‘You’re fired!’ to someone in every episode. Many business people have also said that. ‘The Apprentice’ actually shows you how not to run a business, rather than how to run one. Even his business skills have been questioned. Amstrad was very unsuccessful in the nineties and many people blame Sugar personally for that failure. In conclusion, Alan Sugar is certainly not an ideal role model. However, in my opinion Alan Sugar is a role model because he started with nothing and finished a millionaire. Such a story surely has lessons for all of us.
