Dinner and a movie was a two-part affair. But increasingly, the two have merged into a single experience,

allowing ____11____ to get fries and a beer while they watch the latest superhero blockbuster. Full-service theatres

have become a Friday-night pastime as American as, well, going to the movies.

Dine-in cinemas are not altogether new. In the late 1980s, brothers Mike and Brian McMenamin opened one in

Portland, Ore. A decade later, inspired by the McMenamins, Tim and Karrie League began ____12____ trendy beer

with hits like The Craft at the Alamo Draft-house in Austin. But in recent years, the trend has expanded from niche

them ____19____ when serving food. Some prefer to eat post-movie for a chance to discuss what they’ve just

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A,

B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

“A revolutionary approach on how to connect our world without being super-weird... In the Iceland-verse,

there’s... skies you can see with your eyeballs, volcanic rocks you can caress, and really big geysers (间歇泉) you

can observe from a safe distance.” So ____21____ a viral advertisement designed to lure tourists to Iceland. The

target of the parody (滑稽的模仿) is Mark Zuckerberg in ____22____, and Silicon Valley in general, for whom the

idea of the “metaverse (元宇宙)” — a sort of 3d sequel (续集) to today’s two-dimensional internet, in which users

work, play, buy and sell inside immersive virtual worlds- has become the latest Next Big Thing.

Iceland’s tourist board is not the only ____23____. When, on October 28th, Mr. Zuckerberg rebranded

Facebook as Meta Platforms, to signal his ____24____ to the new idea, many assumed it was a PR stunt (公关伎

俩) to divert attention from the social-media giant’s scandals. Mr. Zuckerberg may well prefer to think about

exciting new products than deal with the downsides of his existing ones. And exaggerated advertising is the water

in which techies swim. ____25____, to stop the analysis there would be too dismissive. There are good reasons to

take the metaverse seriously.

One is historical: as computers have become more capable, the ____26____ that they generate have become

richer. The internet began its life displaying nothing more exciting than white text on a black background. Flat

____27____ were added in the 1990s. Video came to dominate in the 2010s. Therefore, a(n) ____28____ into three

dimensions is a logical consequence of the steady growth in computing power.

(Players quickly co-opted (选择) it for socializing, and even ______31______, as well as dragon-slaying.) “World

of Warcraft,” which arrived five years later, ______32______ 12 million, with many players spend their real money

has.

Finally, mockers (嘲笑) is a(n) ______34______ guide to the future. When YouTube was launched in 2005,

commentators wondered why anyone would what to watch spotty teenagers filming themselves in their bedrooms.

The two decades, online dating has taken its place as a perfectly normal way to meet people. Smartphones are some

of the bestselling devices ever built. In the 1990s their brick-sized predecessors were considered ridiculous status

symbols for insecure investment bankers.

This does not mean every Silicon Valley brainwave will automatically succeed. Nor does it mean a fully

grown metaverse will arrive overnight. But it does suggest that something metaverse — ______35______ lying in

the relatively near future is an idea worth taking seriously.
