Directions: Read the following Evo passages and decide which choice (1), (2), (3), or (4) best answers each question. Then mark the correct choice on your answer sheet. Passage 1: For the next ten years, various aspects of society could be going through enormous change as Virtual Reality (VR) technolo ' mo› es towards fully operational and interactive implementation of its potential. To what extent VR establishes itself as an integral part of our lives, and how quickly it is likely to move from niche technology to common usage throughout society’, is currently under discussion. However, many experts are of the opinion that VR may well have become sufficiently developed for it to form an essential part of lifc by 2030 (it not sooner). Over 40 million people currently own VR headsets, and this figure is expected to double over the next three years. By 202ii, we may well have reached the point at iv hich almost 200 million users oo'n a VR viewing device, the Head Mounted Display (HMD), more commonly known as a VR headset. The ultimate aim of these headsets is to generate a 360-degree, 3D virtual world, enabling the viewer to enjoy what they are watching without the physical limits of a TV, computer or cinema screen. There are two LCD displays, one for each eye, which display images being sent by the computer or some such device (via an HDMI cable) or on the screen of a smartphone inserted into the front of the headset. Lenses, set inside the HMD bed een the user's eyes and the LCD displays, are necessary to counteract the natural differences heW’een what one human eye and the other simultaneously see. These lenses enable two 2D images of the display to be view ed, thus creating a tailored picture for each eye. These combine to create the illusion of real life’ in 3D. The FIMD also uses head tracking’, a system that follows the principle of aircraft flight, tracking three measurements known as pitch, yaw and roll (or movement along the x, y and z axes). It means that w hen the user tilts their head up, down, or to the side, VR follow’s these motions and allow's thein to ‘sec’ all around them.
21.

Which of the following could best be inferred from the passage about virtual reality?

1)

Its potential has not yet been fully materialized.

VR headsets are more popular than the other possibilities in that they have more in stock to present to their prospective users.

Based on the passage, the number of’ VR headset owners is projected to be which of the following, three years from now?

Emerging together from the presolar cauldron, Earth and Venus were endowed with nearly the same size and composition. Yet they have developed into radically different worlds. The surface temperature of Earth's sister planet is about 460 degrees Celsius—hot enough for rocks to glow visibly to any unfortunate carbon-based visitors. A deadly efficient greenhouse effect prevails, sustained try an atmosphere whose major constituent, carbon dioxide, is a powerful insulator. Liquid water is nonexistent. The air pressure at the surface is almost 100 times that on Earth; in many ways it is more an ocean than an atmosphere. A mélange of gaseous sulfur compounds, along with what little water vapor there is, provides chemical fodder for the globally encircling clouds of sulfuric acid. This depiction of hell has been brought to us by an armada of 22 robotic spacecraft that have photographed, scanned, analyzed and landed on Venus over the past four decades. Throughout most of that time, however, Venus's obscuring clouds hindered a full reconnaissance of its surface. Scientists’ view of the planet remained static because they knew’ little of any dynamic processes, such as volcanism or tectonism, that might have occurred there. The Magellan spacecraft changed that perspective. From 1990 to 1994 it mapped the entire surface of the planet at high resolution by peering through the clouds with radar. it revealed a planet that has experienced massive volcanic eruptions in the past and is almost surely actin e today. Coupled with this probing of Venusian geologic history, detailed computer simulations have attempted to reconstruct the past billion years of the planet's climate history. The intense volcanism, researchers are realizing, has driven large- scale climate change. Like Earth but unlike any other planet astronomers know, Venus has a complex, evolving climate.
