【分析】
这是一篇说明文。作者分享了自己在遇到学习困难时的解决方式。
【详解】第一处：考查名词。句意：作为学生，我们在学习的过程中遇到一个又一个困难。根据one可知，其后应加名词，difficulty是名词，意为“困难”，故将difficult改为difficulty。
第二处：考查主谓一致。句意：每个人都有自己的处理方式。分析句子结构可知，everyone做主语时谓语动词用单数，故将have改为has。
第三处：考查动词。句意：我想分享我的方法。结合句意可知，share是及物动词，其后直接加宾语，此处没有分享的对象，故去掉share后面的with。
第四处：考查时态。根据usually可知，此处的时态应该是一般现在时，故将chose改为choose。
第五处：考查代词。句意：我不仅可以解决问题。结合语境可知，此处应用it指代前文的a problem，故将把work后面的them改为it。
第六处：考查非谓语动词。句意：我不仅可以解决问题，而且可以提高自己克服问题的能力。结合句意可知，此处用动词不定式表示目的，故将overcoming改为overcome。
第七处：考查定语从句连词。分析句子结构可知，when引导的状语从句部分是由一个定语从句组成，something是先行词时，关系代词应用that，而不是which，故将which改为that。
第八处：考查副词。句意：我通常向我的同学或老师寻求帮助。分析句子结构可知，normal是形容词，不能修饰动词，normally意为“正常地、通常地”，故将normal改为normally。
第九处：考查固定搭配。句意：结果，我在学习上取得了稳步的进步。结合句意可知，as a result意为“结果”，故在result前面加入a。
第十处：考查名词的数。结合句意可知，make progress是固定搭配，意为“取得进步”，且progress是不可数名词没有复数，故将progresses改为progress。
【点睛】定语从句中只能用that的情况：
①定语从句修饰的词（即先行词），前面有形容词最高级时；
②先行词被the very/the only/the same/the last等修饰时；
③先行词被序数词修饰时；
④先行词正好是anything/everything/nothing/few/all/none/little/some等词时；小题7考查了此项。
⑤先行词前面有who which等疑问代词时；
⑥先行词既有人，也有物时。
三、 阅读理解
21. If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."
The set-up is ly simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.
To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.
Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.
The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."
32. The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to_________.
A. exchanging         B. building         C. controlling         D. transplanting
33. We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that____________.
A. participants will live more passionately after the experiment
B. we can learn to take control of other people's bodies
C. our feelings are related to our bodily experience
D. the Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes
34. In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, __________.
A. they fought strongly against racism
B. they were more biased against those unlike them
C. they changed their behaviour dramatically
D. they scored lower on the test for racism
35. It can be concluded from the passage that_________.
A. technology helps people realize their dreams
B. our biases could be eliminated through experiments
C. virtual reality helps promote understanding among people
D. our points of view about others need changing constantly
参考答案：
A C B C
32．A 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality(虚拟现实)device.”可知该词为“互换”的意思，故选A。

34．B 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another'sshoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.”可知，通过实验，让那些原本不喜欢黑人、有种族歧视的人能亲身体验那种感受，故选B。
35．C 归纳总结题。根据最后一段中“ At the end of  body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms,”以及第四段中“The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.”可知虚拟现实可以改善人与人之间的关系，使得他们能够互相理解和尊重，故选C。
22. It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.
In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.
But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.
One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的）city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.
In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-cla
