Although he had never given a speech, he had always wanted to help people grow in

26、m 250 miles away. For students, the technology means field trips are no longer limited by the length of a bus ride.“I was not expecting it to be right in my face!” Thats what Taylor said after peeling off the purple headset and finding herself back inside her city classroom.On any given day, student

27、s nationwide are taking virtual reality “trips.” They are deep-sea diving, observing medical operations, even swimming through the human circulatory (循环的) system.

While individual headsets t

31、hat require a users phone can cost as little as $20 or $30, systems and software for classes run into the thousands of dollars. Early complaints about a lack of good software are fading as more companies enter the market, but the rules for use havent necessarily caught up to the technology. In New Y

35、 of requirements.DMost people have had songs stuck in their heads at some point. The scientific name for this is involuntary musical imagery (INMI), which simply means that the people do not choose to keep the songs in their heads. Experts have nicknamed this condition “earworm,” even though it is n

36、ot an actual worm, and it does not take place in the ear. Rather, it takes place in the memory centers of the brain. It occurs when a catchy (易记住的) tune “sticks” in a persons mind.

In fact, some experts are studying earworm to see what they can learn about memory centers. After all, these songs repeat autom

41、atically with no effort. What if science could apply this information to learning? What if everyone could learn new things without having to try so hard?

43、etired physicist.34. Which of the following activity can stop earworm effectively?A. Enjoying a tasty snack.B. Going on listening to a song.C. Reflecting on the song.D. Solving a hard math problem.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Earworm does more good than harm.B. Earworm has lit

44、tle to do with memory.C. Earworm can be cured by the scientists.D. Earworm may make learning less painful.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Speed reading is the process of rapidly recognizing and absorbing phrases or sentences on a page all at once, rather than identifyin

45、g individual words. Its a surprisingly easy technique to learn, which is based on a few key techniques that anyone can pick up:Stop saying the words in your head. Subvocalization (默读) is the habit most of us have where we “hear” words in our minds as we read them. 36 All you need to do is stop the s

One of the more surprising speed reading techniques is “meta (元) guiding.” 39 You still need to concentrate on each word if you want to actually keep any information, but its one way speed reading programs teach you t

48、o quickly get through a text. 40 While some people can certainly retain a lot of the information they read, many people cant.
