Reading Comprehension Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? This is usually just a theoretical question. The idea of suddenly taking the form of your neighbor, a celebrity or even your dog is fun to think about, but seemingly impossible to ___41___.

Yet a few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality device. “The first seconds are just overwhelming,〞 says Rikke Frances Wahl, a

6 / 10

woman who ___42___ became a man. “It feels mysterious. You start to feel more and more comfortable in it, and you start to really get the ___43___ of how it would be if it were your body.〞

Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping(替换) experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She ___44___ her new body using a machine called The Machine to be Another. The set-up is relatively simple. Both users put on a virtual reality headset with a camera installed to the top of it. The video from each camera is piped to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your___45___. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it. To get used to seeing another 页 4第

person’s body without actually having control of it, participants start by moving their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. ___46___, this kind of slow, synchronized (同步) movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they were living in another person’s body. “It was so natural,〞 Wahl says, laughing, “and at the same time it was so unnatural.〞

Interestingly, using such technology ___47___to alter people’s behaviour afterwards – potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be ___48___ in fighting implicit racism (隐性种族歧视). Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people’s associations.

Another study showed that using the so-called “rubber hand illusion(错觉)〞 can have the same __49__. When that rubber hand is a colour unlike their skin, participants ___50___ lower on tests for implicit racism than when they watched a hand of the same skin colour.

7 / 10

The idea is that once you’ve “put yourself in another’s shoes〞 you’re less likely to think ___51___ of them, because your brain has ___52___ the feeling of being that person.

Wahl says that she’d jump at the chance to swap bodies with someone again. “I would really, really ___53___ it to everyone, everyone should try this thing,〞 she says. “We all have different feelings and points of views about things,〞 says Pointeau, “and it’s really strongly related to our ___54___ experience. With this kind of experience we can ___55___empathy – the action of understanding, but also maybe help people better understand themselves too.〞 41. A. execute B. excuse C. explore D. exhibit 42.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)

A British hospital director told me he was hunting for staff to replace the foreign doctors and nurses leaving because of Brexit (脱欧). He hadn’

8 / 10

t found many qualified Britons queuing to replace them. In an age when the “war for talent〞 is a global business trend, the UK is fighting a war against talent. But if I were a Brexiter, I’d say: Brexit should be the prompt for Britain to finally start 页 5第

training enough of its own talent. If UK wants to avoid economic decline, it will need to train far more of its own nurses, construction workers, architects, etc. For a country whose policy has always been not to educate the working class, that would be a reversal of history. Before Brexit, high-skilled immigrants staffed world-class British sectors such as the City of London and the creative economy. In healthcare, the UK developed a brilliant way: let a poor country like Romania fund a nurse’s education, then underpay her to look after sick Brits. Low-skilled immigrants eager to work all hours for little money gave the UK cafes and corner shops that seldom closed. Low-skilled Britons could have done these jobs, but mostly didn’t. The coming wave of British talent is largely immigrant too: the kids who have made London’s state schools the UK’s best, plus the offspring of Russian, Chinese and other foreign elites〔精英〕 who fill private schools. Many of these would love to stay and make the UK richer. But Brexiters want to cut immigration. The obvious solution: equip working-class Brits to do jobs from nursing to banking. Jonathan Portes, economics professor at King’s College London said: “The problem of UK vocational education has been known for at least a century. We’ve always neglected it.〞 In fact, in August the UK removed the state bursary〔助学金〕 for people training to be nurses, midwives and speech therapists. Students now have to fund courses themselves, then earn a low salary for a lifetime. If Britain doesn’t upskill its workers fast, it will lose skilled jobs. It will continue to have the world’s best universities per

9 / 10

capita only if it can find enough Britons to replace foreign academics who leave the UK. Much the same applies to finance or design. Meanwhile, low-skilled foreign fruit pickers have already melted away since the pound plunged. With few Britons queuing to replace them, much of this year’s produce rotted in the fields. So the likely post-Brexit outcome is a UK that cannot keep itself in the style to which it has become accustomed. The war against talent will probably leave Britain looking a bit more like today’s English seaside towns, or most of the country in the 1970s: culturally homogeneous〔同种类的〕, relatively poor and under-serviced. 56. The UK is fighting a war against talent because ______. A. skilled immigrants leave the country after Brexit B. it doesn’t have enough fund to train its own citizens C. too many qualified Britons are queuing for creative jobs D. it is trying a different approach to attracting talent 57. Which is FALSE about the situation in the UK before Brexit? A. Hospitals employed many immigrant nurses. B. Much attention was paid to the nurse training. C. Many Brits were unwilling to do low-paid jobs. D. Immigrant elites could find creative and decent jobs. 58. What can we learn from the passage? A. Most well-educated immigrants had no plan to stay in the UK. B. The government now gives nurses-to-be some financial support. C. A lot of fruits rotted in the fields for the lack of skilled fruit pickers. D. The outflow of talent only existed in the field of education and healthcare. 59. According to the writer, the post-Brexit Britain is likely to ______. A. be as rich and powerful as it used to be B. be as convenient as it was before Brexit C. be different in style but the same in essence 页 6第
