People may spend much time writing a blog , but it takes a little time to write a microblog. Why ? Because every message on a microblog is less than 140 words .Microblog started in the USA.

However, this can also bring some problems . For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami (海啸) hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like “Salt can help people fight radiation (辐射)” were hot on microblogs. Then a crazy buying of salt followed.

The books were a great success even though some critics（批评家）did not like them.Thomas Jefferson did not like what Comte de Buffon had said about the natural wonders（奇观）of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Comte de Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if（好像）they were unimportant.This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was also a naturalist, as well as a farmer, an inventor, a historian, a writer and a politician（政治家）. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Comte de Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new wordbelittle. He said, “Comte de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic（大西洋）.”Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in the English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittleto make small, unimportant.”Americans had already accepted Jeffersons word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle（独立纪事报）used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “It is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “Belittle shouldnt become English. And more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it.”This expert failed to kill the word. Today, belittle is used where the English language is spoken.（1）Thomas Jefferson was NOT a _. A . naturalistB . historianC . politicianD . musician（2）We can infer（推断）that Jefferson created the word “belittle” out of his _. A . angerB . excitementC . kindnessD . responsibility（3）What can we know about the word “belittle” from the passage? A . It has already disappeared from the English language.B . It had been used before it was put in the English language dictionary.C . It is used to describe natural wonders now.D . An American politician decided to kill this word in 1872.（4）Whats the passage mainly about? A . How the word “belittle” came into being.B . The argument about natural wonders.C . Every word has a long history behind.D . Noah Webster supported Jeffersons idea.20. （8分）阅读理解 Virtual (虚拟的)reality is a way to create a computer-made environment that brings the user into a virtual world. If you ever have put on a VR headset, you would know exactly what I am talking about. From an experiential view we do understand the idea, but what about the technical backend that goes into making it all possible? In this blog, we will understand the technology behind virtual reality and the basic terms about the development of a virtual ecosystem for a VR headset.The primary subject of virtual reality is simulating (模拟)the vision. Every headset is to perfect their method to create an immersive (浸人式)3D environment. Each VR headset puts up a screen or two in front of eyes, keeping the user away from any interaction with the real world. Two autofocus lenses (自动对焦镜片)are generally placed between the screen and the eyes that change based on eye movement and positioning. The vision appears on the screen either by using a mobile phone or HDMI line connected to a PC.To create a truly immersive virtual reality, there are certain requirements a frame rate (帧 率)of at least 60 fps, a refresh rate and at least 100degree field of view (though 180 degrees is perfect). If either of these doesnt work according to the standards, the user will experience too big of a time difference between their actions and the response from the screen. We need the response to be less than 20 ms (1/1000 second) to fool the brain which is achieved by joining all the above in the right proportion (比例).Another matter that needs to be looked at here is to prevent netsickness because of the differences between the frame rate and refresh rate.Apart from the image, there are certain other things that go into creating an immersive VR experience, holding the users attention completely in the virtual environment. For example, sound effects, when put with the image, can create very attractive effects. By using a headphone and 3D sound effects, the user can totally believe in the virtual environment. While perfecting sound effects, proper care needs to be taken about the consistency (一致)between the pictures and the sound. If you start playing frightening music in the background of a happy scene, it will just put the user off.In future, we will see rapid progress in creating a truly immersive digital experience. With leading players like Google, Microsoft, Oculus, and HTC making great efforts to improve the capabilities (性能),we are not far from achieving a virtual reality that would feel so much better than the real world. If you would like to develop a VR app for your business, then feel free to get in touch. With over 10 years of experience in mobile technologies, we can make every dream a reality.（1）A VR headset helps the user . A . create the vision on the screenB . understand the technical backendC . better experience a 3D environmentD . keep interaction with the real world（2）The words put the user off in Paragraph 4 probably mean . A . take the users attention awayB . get the user interestedC . hold the users imagination backD . help the user understand（3）What is the main purpose of writing this passage？ A . To give a short introduction of VR.B . To do business with certain readersC . To predict the bright future of VR.D . To share experiences with readers（4）What can we learn from the passage？ A . The lower degree field of view, the better images.B . Sound effects are more important than the image for VR.C . Some big companies may create a VR better than the real world soon.D . The brain can tell the time difference when the response is more than 20ms.21. （8分）阅读理解 Have you ever imagined going to other countries without your paper Passport? That will soon come true.
