Flying thrugh the skies f New Yrk with its tall buildings can be a real challenge fr birds migrating (迁徙) frm Central r Suth America t the Arctic Circle during the spring and fall migratin seasns. Frtunately, mre and mre f them can reach their destinatin thanks t the help f kind humans.
Prject Safe Flight is a prgram frm New Yrk City Audubn, a cmmunity that has been wrking t prtect birds in NYC fr ver 40 years. This prject helps save injured birds that cllide (相撞) with the reflective glass s cmmn in many tall buildings.
Each time these vlunteers find a survivr they take it t the Wild Bird Fund. Its purpse is t prvide medical care t native and passing migrant wildlife s that they can be released (释放) back int the wild. Under their care, these feathered friends can rest, are prperly fed, and are als given the medical treatment they need.
Once the patients feel better, they spend time with ther recvered birds until they becme healthy enugh t return t freedm. This takes place in the spring, when they’re released in Central Park, r in the fall, when they’re released ut f twn t make sure that their path desn’t take them in the neighbrhd f lwer Manhattan’s dangerus buildings.

Bright lights and reflective glass buildings attract and then befuddle birds because they lk thrugh them and they think they’re seeing the sky. S the dBird database is key t making plicymakers learn mre clearly abut specific htspts (多事之地) and thus take preventive steps accrdingly t prtect the lvely creatures. These include making sure that visual indicatrs (视觉指示器) are added t tall buildings, r that lights are turned ff at night.

Virtual reality is quickly becming the new technlgical frntier. Tech cmpanies everywhere seem t be racing t get their ft in the VR dr. Hwever, virtual reality has a set f challenges and hurdles that it must vercme in rder t wrk well. It shuld be nted that VR is heavily dependent n being very fast, very accurate and very gd-lking. If it isn’t, the viewer will feel mtin sick r discnnected frm the wrld that VR is trying t create.
Nw that we can actually build VR headsets that begin t meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, s des the interest in creating new media t be experienced in using virtual reality. Jurnalism is a medium built n relevance. Jurnalists shuld always be finding new ways t tell stries and deliver cntent. It is a gldmine fr strytelling. What better ways t tell a stry t smene than t put them right in the center f it?
Virtual reality is a pwerful tl fr jurnalists. The cnsumer isn’t just reading r watching smething play ut; they’re experiencing it. The immersive nature f VR allws fr peple t cnnect with the subject matter n a much deeper level than just reading abut it. The experience is emtinal, speaking mre t ur instinct than ur intellect. The pssibilities fr strytelling here are legin, and any stryteller wanting t d smething mre interesting than their peers shuld surely be cnsidering the sheer pwer f VR.
The questin f virtual reality, thugh, is nt hw pwerful it is. That is immediately apparent. The questin f VR is ne f viability and availability. Telling stries must be easy t d, and access t thse stries must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tls t tell a stry with VR aren’t easy t pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technlgy isn’t bth tp-f-the-line and affrdable, VR will fail.
Accessibility was ne cncern fr Thmas Hallaq, assistant prfessr f jurnalism and mass cmmunicatins, wh said that current VR technlgy, is pretty exclusive right nw. Despite that, he said he desn’t think the exclusivity f this technlgy will be a prblem in the lng run.
“I think it’s very prmising,” Hallaq said. “We’re seeing mre technlgy becme accessible, and mre peple having access t that technlgy. Just lk at smartphnes.” Like radi, TV and the Internet befre it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stries.
12．Why is VR cnsidered a pwerful tl fr jurnalism?
A. Because it is an exclusively new tl.
B. Because it is very pwerful and ppular.
C. Because peple can experience the stry in persn.
D. Because it is very fast, accurate and gd-lking.
13．Accrding t the passage, what is the biggest challenge VR is facing?
A. Hw pwerful and interesting it can be.
B. Whether peple will have easy access t it.
C. Whether qualified VR headsets can be built.
D. What new ways peple will find t deliver cntent.
14．What’s the authr’s attitude twards the future f VR technlgy?
A. Optimistic.B. Neutral.C. Pessimistic.D. Cncerned.
15．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the passage?
A. The Wide Ppularity f Virtual Reality
B. The Future Develpment f Virtual Reality
C. Challenges and Hurdles f Virtual Reality
D. Virtual Reality is the Future f Strytelling

可知，如果你喜欢根据图片中猜单词，你会选择Pictinary（看图猜词）部分，故选D。

4．答案：A
解析：推断题。根据文章第一段第三、四句 Thrughut the day, rumrs (传言) warned that the newest emplyee frm each department wuld be laid ff. I was the newest ne in the training department. 可知，一整天，传言都在说各个部门的新员工都会被解雇，而“我”是培训部门的新员工，因为不确定自己是否会被解雇，“我”的内心应该是紧张的。故A项正确。excited 意为“激动的”，awkward 意为“尴尬的”，prud 意为“自豪的”，均不符合文意。故B、C、D项均错误。故正确答案为A。
5．答案：C
解析：细节题。根据文章第二段第三句中 Administratin wants us t ffer utplacement classes t help thse emplyees find ther jbs 可知，作者的上司交代作者给被解雇员工提供课程，以帮助被解雇员工找到新工作。故正确答案为D。

8．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句和最后一句可知，每当这些志愿者找到一个幸存者，他们就把它送到Wild Bird Fund，在基金会的照料下，这些鸟儿可以休息，还能得到所需的医疗。由此可知，他们将受伤的鸟送到Wi1 d Bird Fund，使它们能在那里得到好的照顾。
9．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段可知，Prject Safe Flight的目的是为了保护鸟类，使之避免死于与高层建筑的玻璃相撞，故可推知，第五段介绍大量的鸟死于与高层建筑的玻璃相撞是为了体现该项目的重要性。
10．答案：C

“迷惑”了鸟类。
11．答案：B

13．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“The questin f V R is ne f viability and availability.Telling stries must be easy t d,and access t thse stries must be readily available.This is the biggest challenge that VR faces.If the tls t tell a stry with VR,aren't easy t pick up and learn,VR will fail.If V R technlgy isn't bth tp-f-the-line and affrdable,VR will fail..（虚拟现实是一个可行性和可用性的问题。讲故事必须容易做到，而且必须能够随时接触到这些故事。这是VR面临的最大挑战。如果用V R讲故事的工具不容易掌握和学习，VR就会失败。如果VR技术既不是顶级的，又不是负担得起的，V R就会失败）可知，VR面临的最大的问题就是人们是否可以非常容易地接触它。故选B。
14．答案：A
