27、Does the future of filmmaking lie in virtual reality (VR) films?
An ambitious team led by Yale senior Celine Tien might hold the answer to that question.
Tien produced,directed and acted in Pippa's Pan,which she says is “one of the world's first live-action VR films.”The film,which was completed in April,mixes live action with VR sections.Some of the characters were created via animation(动画)and other techniques that distinguish the film from 360° VR videos like the ones frequently seen on YouTube.
“360° VR videos are stagnant,which means you don't move with them and see a 360° view of whatever they're filming.”Tien explained.“What we're doing is immersive(沉浸式的)VR.When you put on the goggles (a kind of special glasses) you can physic.ally walk around in the space,pick up objects and engage with the environment.It's a huge difference.”
The immersive VR film experience is different for everyone who interacts with the medium,but that doesn't mean the film's ending will change for each viewer.
The film stars two Chinese-speaking actors."It’s a love story about a woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease who is trying to bring back memories of her husband,"Tien said.
The film has already been recognized by the VR industry.After handing in a short demo to the AT&T Developer Summit Conference,Tien and her team were invited to Las Vegas in January,where they came in third place.
If you're dying to see the film already,your choices area bit limited: Pippa's Pan can't be seen in movie theaters unless they happen to have VR goggles available.According to Tien,many theaters in China will soon have the ability,which makes sense considering China is the film's target market.
Pippa's Pan will be released in three languages: Chinese,English and Korean.“It can get spread in different ways: at film festivals with VR set ups and through HTC or Oculus headset stores,”Tien says.“If you have VR goggles you can download it and experience it yourself.We will also cooperate with movie theaters that have VR set ups.”
【1】According to the passage,people who are watching the immersive VR film can_______.
A. produce and act in the film B. involve themselves in the film
C. change the ending of the film D. experience similarly in the film
【2】We can know from the passage that Pippa's Pan is_______.
A. regarded as the best VR film B. a theme-based story of love
C. the world's first live-action VR film D. about 8n effective cure for Alzheimer
【3】If you want to watch the film Pippa's Pan,you should_______.
A. go to a movie theater B. learn three languages
C. have goggles available D. attend film festivals
【4】The author writes the passage to_______.
A. explain to us how to watch a VR film
B. tell us that China has been the film's target market
C. inform us that VR films are the future of filmmaking
D. introduce an ambitious team and their immersive VR film
28、The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child. They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.
Boarding Schools
When a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators.
Treatment Centers
When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.
Wilderness Programs
Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance of the children, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve children’s behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercises.
Boot Camps
Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps, where the individual must get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction.
【1】Which school will be a good choice if a teenager is addicted to drugs or alcohol?
A.Boarding Schools.
B.Treatment Centers.
C.Wilderness Programs.
D.Boot Camps.
【2】What will teenagers do when they are sent to the Wilderness Programs?
A.They will live in a dorm setting.
B.They will develop the life skills needed to stay clean.
C.They will get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow rules and regulations.
D.They will go hiking and participate in exercise programs and team building exercises.
【3】Who are most likely to be interested in this passage?
A.Parents.
B.Teachers.
C.Students.
D.Experts.
29、In the last decade, scientists have been going back and forth on one question: does recycling really help the environment? The conclusion at which they have arrived seems to be: yes, it does. However, experts warn that our efforts should not stop there. While recycling is an important part of the solution, it is not necessarily the most important factor. Therefore, I disagree that recycling is the key to a sustainable(可持续的) future.
Compared to other methods to save the earth, recycling is a much smaller player. According to a recent study, the twenty top petrochemical(石化) companies in the world are responsible for 55% of the world’s single-use plastics, most of which are practically impossible to recycle. This means that asking these major polluters to take responsibility for their harm to the environment would do much more than if every one of us recycled our waste. In addition, a dependence on recycling can take attention away from reducing and reusing, which are more effective in lowering missions(排放) and in turn helping to create a sustainable future. Therefore, it would do us a lot of good if we focus on the other high-priority solutions rather than simply recycling.
Recycling supporters may argue that recycling is indeed the key to a sustainable future because it helps save a lot of energy by taking what already exists and changing it into something new. While it is true that recycling is a valuable tool in the fight against climate change, it is not the key. Regrettably, it alone is not sufficient to sustain our earth. So, while we should continue recycling, we need to go further by taking other actions for our planet.
In conclusion, I disagree that recycling is the key to a sustainable future. Having said that, recycling is still beneficial. It is but a small part of an interconnected web of solutions, which on its own cannot accomplish much, but together with other efforts, can truly create a sustainable future for us all.
【1】Why does the author write this article?
A.To raise a question.
B.To explain a rule.
C.To present a solution.
D.To express an idea.
【2】Which of the following belongs to “other actions” in the Paragraph 3?
A.Stopping using plastics.
B.Using fewer high-emission cars.
C.Individuals recycling their waste.
D.Changing used things into something new.
【3】Why is recycling not that important according to the author?
A.It does not help with protecting the environment.
B.It stops major polluters from taking responsibility.
C.It can only save 45% of the energy people need.
D.It plays a small and limited part in sustaining the earth.
【4】What is the key to a sustainable future according to the author?
A.Reducing and reusing of single-use plastics.
B.Asking petrochemical companies to be responsible.
C.Combined efforts of all the solutions.
D.More and more people joining in recycling.
