Virtual reality

Probably the most exciting tech development of recent times, virtual reality (VR) has arrived, with sufficient options available to the consumer who’s searching for an extra amount of high-tech fun. The cheapest way to get a high-end VR experience comes courtesy of Sony. Its PlayStation VR doesn’t require a tricked-out PC or expensive phone – it works with the Playstation 4 control board and

comes with a few great games in its library. There is some equipment you can purchase to enhance the experience, but if you’ve already got a PS4 you can enter the world of VR for just $400. Other high-end offerings like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, as well as mobile options like Samsung’s Gear VR, will get your head in the game.

Wireless headphones

Combining ease of use with the ability to move wild around your home, gym or workplace, wireless headphones just make sense. And there are plenty of practical options to suit any budget. The Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones are definitely worth a test drive, though. The full-size, around-ear

Bluetooth headphones highlight active noise cancellation and double as a headset for making phone calls. They’ve even earned the Editor’s Choice award at Cnet com and can be purchased for less than $400 online.

Digital cameras

While your phone is a worthy assistant, there’s no substitute for a real camera when it comes to taking the perfect picture. And these days you can get quality specifications in a package that’s almost as small as your

(B)

The idea of using radio or wireless to broadcast to audiences was formed in 1916 by a president of the American Marconi Company, David Sarnoff. His superiors were doubtful about his idea to “make radio a household cause, so that

7

上海市各区2017届高三英语二模试卷分类汇编：阅读理解B篇

by purchase of a ‘radio music box’, the audience could enjoy lectures, music performance, etc.”

Four years later the American engineer Frank Conrad, an employee at W E Corp, attracted considerable attention when a local newspaper reported on the growing audience listening on crystal radio sets to his evening and weekend amateur broadcasts. A local music store had provided records to play on the Victoria, and Conrad and his family served as disc jockeys(唱片音乐播音员). Westinghouse vice president Harry Davis asked Conrad to build a more powerful transmitter(发射台)in time to announce the outcome of the next US presidential election. Conrad completed his assignment, and on November 2, 1920, station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, broadcast the announcement that Warren G. Harding had been elected president. About 1000 people heard this first news broadcast.

Radio communicated news much faster than did newspapers, and because crystal sets were easy to build and inexpensive, radio expanded rapidly in the following years. To stimulate the sale of radio sets, equipment manufactures provided transmitting facilities. Singers, comedians, and entire orchestras volunteered their services for publicity. The eventual financial basis of the new industry, however, was still unclear. One group in New York City tried to seek contributions from listeners while others urged that private foundations support radio stations as a public service. In August 1922 the first commercial radio advertisement was broadcast on WEAF (now WNBC) in New York City. In 1926, when about 5 million homes had radios, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), in cooperation with the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, established the first commercial radio network. In the 1920s radio was established as a new mass medium had a practicable industry, and it became a national forum(论坛)for news and popular culture. 59. The passage is mainly concerned with _______. A. the contribution of radio to popular culture B. the invention and uses of radio C. early radio programs for a mass audience D. the history of radio broadcasting

60. Who started broadcasting radio programs to mass audience? A. Frank Conrad

B. David Sarnoff

D. Warren Harding

61. After 1920, radio expanded rapidly because _______. A. people could easily get it in stores

B. it was cheaper than newspapers

C. it had advantages over newspapers D. people were interested in anything new

The Film: The Great Gatsby (Based on Fitzgerald’s Novel The Great Gatsby ) Director: Baz Luhrmann Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby Film Reviews: If you never read the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby, now is your chance to catch up — by watching the latest film adaptation. Because if there’s one sentence to sum up the film, it would be: It’s just like the book. The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film. Baz Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original, for example, in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film, the first party scene, Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself, while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue (蓝色狂想曲), which was composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924, is played in the background. ─ Fox News Director Baz Luhrmann’s main challenge was either to find a visual equivalent (相等物) for Fitzgerald’s elegant quality -- the open secret of the book’s popularity for so long time – 9

上海市各区2017届高三英语二模试卷分类汇编：阅读理解B篇

or to match his own unusual personal strengths with the material. He tries it both ways, with considerable degrees of success. DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite (上流社会人士) by recreating Fitzgerald’s description of Gatsby’s charm. He can look at someone for an instant and understand how, perfectly, he or she wants to be seen. ─ Time Magazine About the Book and the Main Character: Considered to be Fitzgerald’s representative work, The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism, resistance to change, social change, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a tale regarding the American Dream. Nick, the narrator, moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy. His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), who rarely contacts with others and is said to be a hero of the Great War. Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University, but the evidence is suspect. As Nick learns more about Gatsby, every detail about him seems questionable, except his love for the Daisy. Though Daisy is married, Gatsby still loves her as his “golden girl”. They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer. Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war. However, she married Tom, a classmate of Nick’s. Having obtained a great fortune, Gatsby sets out to win her back again. 60. The Fox News review mentioned the first party scene in the film to ________. A. reveal the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby B. show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well C. prove that the director is good at combining visual and music D. convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director

61. According to Time Magazine, what did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success?

A. He adapted the story in the novel as he wished. B. He made the film more powerful than the book. C. He mixed his style with the elegance of the book.

D. He changed the story to meet his own style.
