一、閱讀理解

• 1．Beach volleyball （沙灘排球） is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch.It's really easy，and all you need is sand，a net and a group of people，of any age or fitness level，who want to have fun.
     Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team，making a total of four people.However，if you are less skilled and experienced in the game，it will be easier to play with a larger team.The more players you have，the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots.If you only have a few players，each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley （截球）.If you are looking for a relaxing，fun，low-key experience，choose larger teams.
     Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules.However，even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand.Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface，play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court.When an athlete trains for beach volleyball，he will focus on building lower body strength （力量） as well as upper body strength.Strengthening his legs is extremely important.This improves the player's ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance.The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players.
     Whether you are in it for the competition，or just to have a great time with your friends，beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun.You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport.

• 2．VR and the Olympics：changing what viewers can experience？ The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics was full of breakthroughs.It is the biggest Olympics' news and media coverage so far. （1）

  
     Though VR headsets have been widely accepted across industries such as gaming and tourism，their uses haven't fully been explored. （2）

  That's why we are here to clarify VR's effects on the Olympics.
     ●（3）

  
     Due to the pandemic situation，the events this year weren't open to the public，which means getting close to the action was going to require some technological intervention.
     By live-casting sport games in 360 VR video，viewers can experience never-before-seen immersiveness （沉浸感），and truly feel like they're in the field with their favorite athletes!So，it makes sense that the Olympics turned to VR to give viewers a close view of all the events.
     ●Overcome practical difficulties
     Both the Winter Olympics and its Paralympics equivalent were held in Beijing this year，which aren't easy to reach for most of us in the West.Thus，the application of VR technology helps relay （轉(zhuǎn)播） the Olympics despite geographical distance.
     And when it comes to the Winter Olympics，there is a lot not so enjoyable.There is no amount of gloves and layers that will put off the cold long enough for you to enjoy the skiing. （4）

  
     But with a VR headset，you can see all the action just from the comfort of your home，saving yourself the realistic troubles.
     ●Watch whenever you want
     The VR experience offered far more than just a comfortable place to watch. （5）

  In other words，it means you can watch your favourite moments over and over again.There is also footage （鏡頭） of the opening and closing ceremony available，so that you can appreciate another aspect of the successful Olympics.
  
  A.Pay an on-site visit
  B.Have an up-close look
  C.There was live and on demand coverage available.
  D.However，virtual reality is very important in our lives.
  E.Unfortunately，this was also the case for the Olympics.
  F.It is also where virtual reality really enters the golden period.
  G.There is also a lot of standing around and waiting for an event.
