When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfr

8、ogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadnt yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.“Hello?” she called. “Celia? Marie”There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it “Forgotten Island” beca

9、use no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasnt on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didnt know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends her, Celia, and Marie.But now Li

10、na was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.“Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat.” Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. Thats why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the

11、usual form. Celia took Maries side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, L

12、inas mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didnt become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill (寒意) down her back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Maries dad, who w

13、as steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm

14、reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Maries dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didnt seem to mind becoming wet.4What can be inferred about the island?AIt is very near the ocean.BIt is a popular place for boating.CIt is surrounded by thick forest.DIt has

16、 of the approaching storm.CThe idea that no one would come to save her.DThe drop in temperature as the sun went down.7Who pulled Lina out of the water?AMaries father.BLina herself.CMarie.DCeliA Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all

17、 travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world on

18、e? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as mind wandering. During these events we re not paying atte

19、ntion 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 world. So, the imagined past or future can create e

20、motions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR 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

21、over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodias Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the

22、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

23、 to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but its already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual

24、tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.8What is driving the development of virtual tourism?ACompanies seeking to make more money.BImprovements in virtual reality technology.CPeoples demand for more shared experiences.DPeoples deeper understanding of the physical world.9Wh

25、ich of the following best describes mind wandering?AThe brain processes which help people think VR is real.BThe way the brain processes inputs from the real world.CBrain activities focusing on past or future events.DExperiences coming from a persons imagination.10What does the underlined word it in

26、the last paragraph refer to?AScience fiction.BVirtual technology.CVirtual tourism.DThe real world.11What is the purpose of the passage?ATo describe the advantages of VR tourism.BTo give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.CTo encourage people to develop VR technology.DTo argue VR tourism will repl

Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they

28、work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says, Ants arent smart. Ant colonies are.The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants ha

29、ve similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the co

30、lony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a dance. Different speeds

31、and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new locati

32、on is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of sameness and difference to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent Amer
