Experience the World in 3D Game
Ever wondered how your cat or dog sees the world? Now you can look through their eyes with the first 3D game that recreates the vision of different species based on scientific evidence. The online simulation, created by the French3D design company Dassault Systèmes, with the guidance of veterinary ophthalmologist (眼科专家)Didier Schmidt-Morand, mimics (模仿)the vision of five animals – cats dogs, rats, hawks and bees – as a player steers them through Place Vend洀攀 in Paris.
Due to differences in field of view, colours perception and night vision, for example, sight can be drastically different from species to species. \as different models of cars,\
The game was created by using existing virtual models of the square then applying effects based on descriptions of each animal's vision. Dassault's 3D software allows a scene to be modified by adding blur or changing the colours, angle of vision and depth of field. Although it was easy to recreate vision inferior to that of humans – cats and dogs, for example, have trouble distinguishing shades of red –replicating features that we are unable to see was a challenge. Hawks have more detailed vision than ours, whereas dogs are better at seeing movement and have a wider field of view. \viewing angles but the result made people nauseous(令人作呕的),\tweaked(微调) the model to give a sense of the wider view without sticking to reality.\ The rat's view also departs from reality:because they are near-sighted, everything more than 15 centimetres away is a blur, so they typically move close to walls to help them navigate. \would never throw itself into the middle of an open area,\for this animal is supplemented with a map in the top right corner to help determine the rat's position: because of their limited eyesight, most landmarks are obscured.
The game is intended as an education alre source and players can discuss their experience with others through community features on the website. If there is interest from schools and zoos, the team hopes to recreate the vision of more animals.
16. The game developed by Dassault Systemesis the first 3D game recreating the vision of different species .
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
17.Dassault’s3Dsoftware takes different perspectives like color perception and angle of vision in to account .
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
18.The animals’views in the software are the same as those in reality . A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 19. Dogs have larger viewing angles than humans . A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
20.It takes the team the longest time to recreate the rat’s view because they’re near-sighted . A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
21.The team is working on recreating the vision of more animals . A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 22.Schmidt-Morand’s favorite animal is cat . A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

第4部分：阅读理解（第31～45题，每题3分，共45分）
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文回答其后面的问题，为每题确定一个最佳答案。
第一篇 The Northern Lights
The sun is stormy and has it own kind of weather. It is so hot and active that even the Sun’s
gravity cannot hold its atmosphere in check! Energy flows away from the Sun toward the Earth in a stream of electrified particles that move at speeds around a million miles per hour. These particles are called plasma, and the stream of plasma coming from the Sun is called the solar wind. The more active the Sun, the stronger the solar wind.
The solar wind constantly streams toward the Earth, but don’t worry because a protective magnetic fields surrounds our planet. The same magnetic field that makes your compass point north also steers the particles from the Sun to the north and south poles. The charged particles become trapped in magnetic belts around the Earth.When a large blast of solar wind crashes into the Earth’s magnetic field first gets squeezed and then the magnetic field lines break and reconnect.
The breaking and reconnecting of the magnetic field lines can cause atomic particles called electrons trapped in the belts to fall into the Earth’s atmosphere at the poles. As the electrons fall into the Earth, they collide with gas molecules in the atmosphere, creating flashes of light in the sky.
Each atmospheric gas glows a different color.Oxygen and nitrogen glows red and green and nitrogen glows violet-purple. As these various colors glow and dance in the night sky, they create the Northern Lights and the Southern Lights.
Watching auroras(北极光)is fun and exciting, but normally you can only see them in places far north like Alaska and Canada. The movement of the aurora across the sky is usually slow enough to easily follow with your eyes but they can also pulsate(跳动), flicker(闪烁), or even move like waves.During solar maximum, 5 auroras are seen as far south as Florida, even Mexico!Auroras often seem to be very close to the ground, but the lowest aurora is still about100 kilometers above the ground, a distance much higher than clouds are formed or airplanes can fly. A typical aurora band can be thousands of kilometers long, a few hundred kilometers high, but only a few hundred meters thick.
We hope you are able to travel to far-north places like the Arctic Circle and see the Northern Lights at least once during your lifetime. We know you will never forget it! 31. The solar wind comes into being as a result of______ A. disappearance of the Sun’s gravity. B. unpredictable weather of the Sun. C. fast flow of energy away from the Sun.
