21、 Located at Europe’s biggest water park, the Galaxy Erding in South Germany, the world’s first VR water slide takes the exciting experience to a whole new level by offering thrill-seekers the choice of three attractive worlds --- Space, Sky, or Snow. By simply wearing a headset, riders can slide through a magical alien world, follow beautiful butterflies around floating islands or put themselves in a white winter wonderland. To make the experience even more heart-stopping, the 160-meter-long ride that lasts about 35 seconds has two uphill tracks that provide a roller-coaster-like experience.
While the tire slide, which has been successfully tested by almost 10,000 park goers since it opened in February 2018, is impressive, the technology behind it, developed by California startup Ballast is even more so. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be worn in water up to a few meters deep, without harming the delicate Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile devices that run the custom software for the VR experiences. The headsets also charge wirelessly (无线地), allowing park operators to swap out sets throughout the day.
The biggest challenge the company faced, however, was providing a suitable VR experience for everyone. That’s because unlike roller coasters, where the speed is fixed for all riders, water slide speeds vary depending on the weight of the person. To overcome the issue, Ballast fixed smart sensors (传感器) in important areas along the slide to keep track of the rider’s progress at all times. The information, conveyed through the headset, allows the custom software to adjust his or her location within the virtual world accordingly, making for a smooth, seasickness free ride for all.
Though Ballast is thrilled at Space Glider’s success, the company has bigger ambitions. They want to create an experience where guests will be able to swim underwater surrounded by virtual dolphins, whales, and even sharks, without wearing the heavy headsets!
【1】What can people do if they go to the Galaxy Erding?
A. They can swim with dolphins.
B. They can explore the outer space.
C. They can experience VR water slide.
D. They can swap out sets all day long.
【2】Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The tire slide has been successfully tested so far.
B. Water slide speed vary depending on the age of the person.
C. Thrill-seekers take the exciting experience by wearing a headset.
D. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be applied in water.
【3】What can help park goers experience a smooth, seasickness free ride?
A. The painkillers.
B. The fixed speed.
C. A sensor fixed in important areas.
D. Virtual dolphins, whales and sharks.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the VR water slide?
A. objective B. subjective C. opposed D. indifferent
22、 Biology researcher Sayaka Mitoh loves studying Japanese sea slugs. Her research at Nara Women’s University sounds like something from out of scary movies. While studying these small, cute creatures in the lab one day, she saw something strange. A sea slug had cut off its own head but kept on living and moving. Then a couple more sea slugs did the same!
So, Mitoh and another researcher Yoichi Yusa tried it themselves. They cut off the heads of 16 sea slugs. Six of the creatures started regeneration. Three of them survived. One of the three even lost and regrew its body twice. And two different kinds of Japanese sea slugs went through the regeneration process.
Other creatures can lose body parts when needed. For example, some lizards drop their tails to get away from danger and regrow them later. This is a biological event called autotomy (自切).
“We think that this is the most extreme case of autotomy,” Yusa said. He added that some animals can autotomize their legs or tails but no other can drop their whole body.
One kind of sea slug can grow to 15 centimeters long. Scientists had long thought that a creature of that size could not survive without a heart to pump blood and nutrients to the brain.
When these sea slugs eat a certain type of algae (藻类), Yusa said, they can photosynthesize (光合作用) their food from sunlight and oxygen, just like a plant, for about 10 days. He guessed that after autotomy, the head sort of acts like a plant. It turns green and gets its energy from oxygen and sunlight. Mitoh and Yusa said that sea slugs probably developed this ability as a way of fighting off parasites (寄生虫).
Nicholas Curtis is a biology professor at Ave Maria University. What is especially interesting, he said, is that these sea slugs are more complex than other creatures that are known to regenerate. This discovery could help scientists better understand how to regenerate, or regrow, human tissue in the future.
【1】What did Sayaka Mitoh find when studying Japanese sea slugs?
A．They mainly fed on plants.
B．They often fought against each other.
C．They could regrow their bodies.
D．They looked like creatures in a certain movie.
【2】How did the author develop the second paragraph?
A．By presenting figures.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By following time order.
D．By describing the process.
【3】Why can Japanese sea slugs survive after autotomy according to Yusa?
A．Their body size is extremely small.
B．Their brain doesn’t need nutrients to grow.
C．They mainly feed on a certain type of algae.
D．They can make food from sunlight and oxygen.
【4】What is Nicholas Curtis’s attitude towards the findings?
A．Uncaring.
B．Disapproving.
C．Positive.
D．Doubtful.
23、Best Christmas Markets around the World
Christmas shopping doesn't have to mean joylessly battling through department store crowds or trawling the Internet for bargains. Why not combine present-buying with some travel?
Strasbourg, France
Strasbourg, in eastern France, is home to one of Europe's oldest Christmas markets, with the first edition taking place in 1570.
Before getting lost down Strasbourg's narrow alleyways and beautiful squares, visitors should be sure to head to Place Kleber, where they'll find the Great Christmas Tree, a towering effort that puts the spruce (云杉)at New York Rockefeller Center to shame.
Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, Prague, Czech Republic
No city lends itself to Christmas better than Prague.
The city's two main Christmas markets, in Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, are only five minutes' walk from each other, so can both easily be explored in one day. Each one has the usual wooden huts found in similar markets across Europe, but the Czech treats are what really set them apart. Visitors can grab a klob sa ( Czech sausage) and wash it down with a Pilsner Urquell in the afternoon, then hang around for the main tree to be lit up on Old Town Square. Both markets are open every day over the festive period until January 6, including Christmas Day.
Grand Christmas Market, Montreal, Canada
Montreal’s Grand Christmas Market in Canada takes its inspiration from Europe's biggest festive events.
Running from December 1 to 24 in the pedestrian thoroughfare of Ste Catherine Street, it has more than 60 wooden houses plying their wares, from warming winter drinks to essential Christmas handicrafts. The market is especially good for kids, with an elves' (精灵)workshop, Santa’s sleigh and even an igloo. Although it closes its doors on Christmas Eve, Montreal's Grand market reopens a week later to see in the New Year.
Viennese Christmas Market, Vienna, Austria
Few cities steep (沉浸)themselves in the festive spirit like Vienna. The Austrian capitals first Christmas Market was held in 1298 and today the city has more than 20 events to choose from. With around 151 stalls serving everything from boozy Christmas punch to gut busting Austrian sausages, the market also boasts a huge ice rink (溜冰场)for skating and reindeer rides for kids.

24、 Whether they are big or small, everyone has dreams. Perhaps you have dreams which you have yet to realize. I certainly do. One reason why dreams never come true is that we don't have a system in place to work towards them. Start working towards your goal today. Here are some steps to help you realize your dream:
★Identify (确认) your dream.
List what your dream would look like. 【1】 If your dream is to create a new moon, you may be disappointed, but don't be afraid, either. If your dream is to be an author, that's a dream you can achieve, but it may not be realistic to write the next The Purpose Driven Life.
★【2】
Write down action steps you can take towards your goal. Sticking with the idea of being an author, perhaps you could start with a blog. Then move to outline chapters. You might set aside a few hours a week to actually write the book. Record realistic dates to complete each step.
★Take a risk.
If you really want to succeed, you must be willing to risk failure. 【3】 The ones who achieve their dreams are the ones who are willing to take the risk.
★Stay consistent(一致的).
If you want to achieve your dream, you will have to keep at the task, even during the hard time. 【4】 These are how habits are developed. Many give up too soon, often just before the turning point towards success comes.
★Get started.
The longer you wait, the less likely you are to begin. 【5】
A．Make an action plan.
B．Clearly, it needs to be available.
C．Push yourself to complete scheduled action steps.
D．Facing challenges, most of us work harder.
E．Every great dream has a bit of risk involved.
F．Share your plan with people who like challenges.
G．If you think the dream is worth achieving, start today.
