An injured hiker was rescued earlier this month after a train passenger spotted her from the window. She was crazily waving on the other side of a river, having just spent two days trapped in the wilderness with a broken leg.
The rider told the train crew who then reported it to the train inspector, Henry Smith, who was in a motor car behind them. Henry was able to stop and communicate with the woman on the opposite bank of the river, which was freezing cold and moving quickly.
The hiker, a woman in her twenties, had been missing for two days. She said she’d intended to go on a day hike, but ended up falling 90 feet down a cliff face while trying to take pictures. She reportedly told rescuers that she lost consciousness for an unknown amount of time. Despite a badly broken leg, she struggled to pull herself to the bank of the river to try to flag down trains. She had no emergency supplies with her, or suitable clothing to spend the night outdoors. There had been a cold attack while the woman was trapped in the wilderness. The hiker described spending daylight hours trying to get the attention of passing trains and, at night, would roll herself into a nearby cliff face in an attempt to stay warm.
Henry called to request help for search and rescue. The operator who received the emergency call said the hiker’s family had been looking for her. While they were waiting for the rescue team, Nick and Kylah, an engineer and a fireman on the next train passing by the location, came to help. 327 passengers on the train waited on the track as they crossed the river to examine the woman’s injuries and bring emergency supplies, blankets and a radio for communication. Eventually, a helicopter was sent to locate and rescue the hiker and she was transported safely to the hospital.
4. Who first noticed the injured hiker
A. A train rider. B. Henry Smith. C. The train crew. D. Nick and Kylah.
5. What do we know about the woman hiker
A. She fell down the cliff face accidentally.
B. She spent day and night waving for help.
C. She had planned a two-day hike schedule.
D. She always stayed conscious in the wilderness.

B Henry sent a helicopter to locate and rescue the hiker.
C Nick and Kylah were sent by the police to the rescue.
D. People on the next train also contributed to the rescue work.

C
Scientists estimate there are millions of trees on earth. I couldn’t believe that those trees can have a healing(治愈的)effect on people.
According to World Health Organization, 40 percent of American adults have at least two chronic(慢性病的)diseases, which include high blood pressure, mood disorders, heart problems and diabetes. According to the International Association of Applied Psychology, lower stress, better moods, better brain activity and even happiness can all be linked to spending time in the great outdoors. That’s why there are dozens of programs that prescribe nature as a potential form of healing. Nature is everywhere.
There are two major theories as to why nature is so good for our brains. The first one is called attention restoration theory. When we spend time in busy urban environments, all the hard edges, traffic, lights and people everywhere really make us have to constantly focus our attention on these things. Whereas when you spend time in nature, it helps restore your powers of attention and reduce that tiredness and bad-temper. The second major theory is called stress reduction theory. So basically, when we spend time in nature after stressful events, it helps us feel better and recover faster.
When I recommended nature for the first time to a patient of mine, he actually just nodded his head and said, “You’re absolutely right. When I spend more time in nature, I feel better.” And so, I think healthcare providers have to get over our own traditional mental views against this new sort of lifestyle, and prescribe something evidence-based, like nature time more often.
This is worth the effort to do. You need to get out of doors and just be surrounded by the greenery and by nature. You’ll feel calmer. You’ll feel less depressed and less anxious. It’s just a great way to deal with the stress of modern life.
8. Which word can replace the underlined word “prescribe”
A. Practice. B. Provide. C. Suggest. D. Explore.
9. What is the function of paragraph 2
A. To clarify a concept. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To make a conclusion. D. To provide evidence.
10. How does nature help people according to the two major theories
A. Refresh oneself. B. Live a better life.
C. Improve urban environments. D. Deal with stressful issues.
11. What can be inferred according to paragraph 4
A. It is not easy to get in nature.
B. Nature treatment is still unpopular.
C. Most patients prefer nature treatment.
D. Doctors usually recommend nature to patients.
D
We’ve all faced it at one time or another: after laundry, a messy pile of clean clothes are waiting hours to be put away. There are plenty of machines that can wash and dry clothes. So why isn’t there a way to similarly automate the terrible folding process
Researchers have looked into it over the years and as it turns out, robots just don’t do well in folding clothes. As is reported, machines need clear rules in order to function, and it’s hard for them to figure out what exactly is going on in those messy piles-say, where the sweater stops and where the towel begins. In sum, most robots have not generally been equipped for the task. But an international group of researchers say their new method could change that, or at least speed up the process.
Researchers are calling the new method SpeedFolding. It’s a “reliable and efficient bimanual system”—meaning it involves two hands—that’s able to smooth and fold clothes in record speed for robots. SpeedFolding can fold 30 to 40 pieces of clothing per hour, compared to previous models that averaged 3 to 6 pieces in that same time length, according to researchers.
SpeedFolding takes a different approach. Its novel network studied 4,300 human and machine-assisted actions in order to learn how to smooth and fold clothes from a random pattern. That process can involve a number of defined movements including dragging, moving and “pick-and-place”.
While researchers describe SpeedFolding as a significant improvement, it’s not likely to hit the market anytime soon. For one, researchers tracked down a robot similar to the one they used and found that it sold for $58,000. For another, researchers say there’s more they want to explore, including methods with which the robot can learn to work on a novel piece of clothing when given a few demonstrations. But there’s always hope that folding in the future will get even neater.
12. Why are robots poor at folding clothes
A. It is difficult for them to obey clear human orders.
B. They are lacking in enough folding demonstrations.
C. They have trouble handling the random patterns of clothes.
D. It is difficult for them to remember the folding movements.
13. What do we know about SpeedFolding
A. It can perform more delicate actions.
B. It can help with all sorts of housework.
C. It can record the working speed accurately.
D. It can fold 3 to 6 pieces per hour on average.
14. What does the author think of SpeedFolding
A. It is highly profitable. B. It is no better than the old.
C. It has a promising future. D. It will go out of style quickly.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Robots Become More Intelligent
B. The Fastest Ever Folding Robot is Here
C. Robots Release People from Housework
D. The Research on the Folding Robot is On

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Little Rat
Little Rat was not a rat. She was a girl of seven, but most neighbours thought she was only four. People called her by that because her skin was too dark. In the early 1900s, life was rather tough for a kid without parents. She was often teased with questions like, “Who is your father Where is your mother ”
One night Little Rat lay down on her bed after a day’s heavy work. She was about to fall into sleep when she saw a rat slipping out of a hole in the wall. “A little rat!” she screamed, which scared the rat to escape away.
Lying down, however, somehow the girl couldn’t sleep any more. “It’s good that I’m not alone here,” she thought. She slipped down from the bed, tiptoed a few steps away, and looked at the hole. Again, the rat ran out, shook off the dust from his furs and smelled around with his little wet nose. At last he found a chicken bone on the floor. The rat picked up the bone with his swift paws and began to bite it greedily.
“He must be very hungry,” the girl thought. The idea made her feel hungry, too. Carefully she took a small piece of bread out of her pocket and threw some onto the floor before the little rat. Seeing no threat from the human before him, the animal reached the bread and all of a sudden he forgot all possible dangers and snatched the bread.
So day after day the girl kept company with the little rat. She fed him with the little food she had, and the rat would eat out of her hand. The girl was beaten by her aunt more often than before, because she always seemed eager to run back to her little room after doing the washing in the evening.
One morning the girl was carrying a barrel of water to her aunt’s garden. Suddenly she heard a sharp cry from the kitchen. It was her aunt. “Rat! A rat!” she screamed. Then the girl heard the woman chasing the rat in the kitchen.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“My little rat!” the idea occurred to the girl.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The girl watched the neighbours gathering at the door and was frightened.

(根据世界卫生组织的数据，40%的美国成年人患有至少两种慢性疾病，包括高血压、情绪障碍、心脏问题和糖尿病。根据国际应用心理学协会的说法，更低的压力，更好的情绪，更好的大脑活动，甚至快乐都可以与花时间在户外有关。这就是为什么有几十个项目把自然作为一种潜在的治疗形式。大自然无处不在。)”可知，第二段在第一段的基础上进一步举例论证说明大自然对身体疾病有帮助，因此第二段是提供证据，故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The first one is called attention restoration theory. (第一个是注意力恢复理论。)”以及“The second major theory is called stress reduction theory. (第二个主要理论叫做压力减少理论。)”可知，大自然疗法主要采取的方式是减少压力，是人体基本认知恢复。A项“Refresh oneself.(清醒头脑)”符合题意，故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When I recommended nature for the first time to a patient of mine, he actually just nodded his head and said, “You’re absolutely right. When I spend more time in nature, I feel better.” And so, I think healthcare providers have to get over our own traditional mental views against this new sort of lifestyle, and prescribe something evidence-based, like nature time more often. (当我第一次向我一位病人推荐大自然时，他实际上只是点了点头，说：‘你说得完全正确。当我花更多的时间在大自然中，我感觉更好。’因此，我认为医疗保健提供者必须克服我们对这种新型生活方式的传统观念，并开出一些基于证据的处方，比如更多地享受自然时光。)”可知，作者在推荐自然疗法的时候，病人并不是非常一开始就接受的，最开始只是“点点头”，而下一句还提到了要克服的问题，说明目前这种疗法大众接受度不高。故选B项。
D
We’ve all faced it at one time or another: after laundry, a messy pile of clean clothes are waiting hours to be put away. There are plenty of machines that can wash and dry clothes. So why isn’t there a way to similarly automate the terrible folding process
Researchers have looked into it over the years and as it turns out, robots just don’t do well in folding clothes. As is reported, machines need clear rules in order to function, and it’s hard for them to figure out what exactly is going on in those messy piles-say, where the sweater stops and where the towel begins. In sum, most robots have not generally been equipped for the task. But an international group of researchers say their new method could change that, or at least speed up the process.
Researchers are calling the new method SpeedFolding. It’s a “reliable and efficient bimanual system”—meaning it involves two hands—that’s able to smooth and fold clothes in record speed for robots. SpeedFolding can fold 30 to 40 pieces of clothing per hour, compared to previous models that averaged 3 to 6 pieces in that same time length, according to researchers.
SpeedFolding takes a different approach. Its novel network studied 4,300 human and machine-assisted actions in order to learn how to smooth and fold clothes from a random pattern. That process can involve a number of defined movements including dragging, moving and “pick-and-place”.
While researchers describe SpeedFolding as a significant improvement, it’s not likely to hit the market anytime soon. For one, researchers tracked down a robot similar to the one they used and found that it sold for $58,000. For another, researchers say there’s more they want to explore, including methods with which the robot can learn to work on a novel piece of clothing when given a few demonstrations. But there’s always hope that folding in the future will get even neater.
12. Why are robots poor at folding clothes
A. It is difficult for them to obey clear human orders.
B. They are lacking in enough folding demonstrations.
C. They have trouble handling the random patterns of clothes.
D. It is difficult for them to remember the folding movements.
13. What do we know about SpeedFolding
A. It can perform more delicate actions.
B. It can help with all sorts of housework.
C. It can record the working speed accurately.
D. It can fold 3 to 6 pieces per hour on average.
14. What does the author think of SpeedFolding
A. It is highly profitable. B. It is no better than the old.
C. It has a promising future. D. It will go out of style quickly.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Robots Become More Intelligent
B. The Fastest Ever Folding Robot is Here
C. Robots Release People from Housework
D. The Research on the Folding Robot is On
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种自动化快速折叠衣服的方法以及折叠机器人的前景。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二自然段“As is reported, machines need clear rules in order to function, and it’s hard for them to figure out what exactly is going on in those messy piles-say, where the sweater stops and where the towel begins. In sum, most robots have not generally been equipped for the task. (据报道，机器需要有明确的规则才能运转，而且它们很难弄清楚那些乱七八糟的堆里到底发生了什么，比如毛衣停在哪里，毛巾从哪里开始。总之，大多数机器人通常还没有装备完成这项任务。)”可知，机器人不善于折叠衣服是因为他们很难服从明确的人类命令。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四自然段“That process can involve a number of defined movements including dragging, moving and “pick-and-place”. (该过程可能涉及许多定义的移动，包括拖动、移动和“拾取和放置”。)”可知，SpeedFolding可以执行更精细的动作。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“For another, researchers say there’s more they want to explore, including methods with which the robot can learn to work on a novel piece of clothing when given a few demonstrations. But there’s always hope that folding in the future will get even neater. (另一方面，研究人员表示，他们还想探索更多的方法，包括机器人在进行几次演示后可以学习如何处理一件新衣服的方法。但人们总是希望未来的折叠会变得更整洁。)”可知，作者认为SpeedFolding有一个充满希望的未来。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二自然段“But an international group of researchers say their new method could change that, or at least speed up the process. (但一个国际研究小组表示，他们的新方法可以改变这一情况，或者至少可以加快这一进程。)”以及最后一段“For another, researchers say there’s more they want to explore, including methods with which the robot can learn to work on a novel piece of clothing when given a few demonstrations. (另一方面，研究人员表示，他们还想探索更多的方法，包括机器人在进行几次演示后可以学习如何处理一件新衣服的方法。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种自动化快速折叠衣服的方法以及折叠机器人的前景。故D项“The Research on the Folding Robot is On (折叠机器人的研究进展)”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Little Rat
Little Rat was not a rat. She was a girl of seven, but most neighbours thought she was only four. People called her by that because her skin was too dark. In the early 1900s, life was rather tough for a kid without parents. She was often teased with questions like, “Who is your father Where is your mother ”
One night Little Rat lay down on her bed after a day’s heavy work. She was about to fall into sleep when she saw a rat slipping out of a hole in the wall. “A little rat!” she screamed, which scared the rat to escape away.
Lying down, however, somehow the girl couldn’t sleep any more. “It’s good that I’m not alone here,” she thought. She slipped down from the bed, tiptoed a few steps away, and looked at the hole. Again, the rat ran out, shook off the dust from his furs and smelled around with his little wet nose. At last he found a chicken bone on the floor. The rat picked up the bone with his swift paws and began to bite it greedily.
“He must be very hungry,” the girl thought. The idea made her feel hungry, too. Carefully she took a small piece of bread out of her pocket and threw some onto the floor before the little rat. Seeing no threat from the human before him, the animal reached the bread and all of a sudden he forgot all possible dangers and snatched the bread.
So day after day the girl kept company with the little rat. She fed him with the little food she had, and the rat would eat out of her hand. The girl was beaten by her aunt more often than before, because she always seemed eager to run back to her little room after doing the washing in the evening.
One morning the girl was carrying a barrel of water to her aunt’s garden. Suddenly she heard a sharp cry from the kitchen. It was her aunt. “Rat! A rat!” she screamed. Then the girl heard the woman chasing the rat in the kitchen.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“My little rat!” the idea occurred to the girl.

The girl watched the neighbours gathering at the door and was frightened.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“My little rat!” the idea occurred to the girl. She was very worried about her little rat, but she could not do anything to stop her aunt. She was afraid that her aunt would scold and beat her. She could only stand desperately outside the kitchen. She heard her aunt in the kitchen, screaming and banging from time to time. However, her aunt did not seem to succeed. So she began to shout for help. When the neighbors heard the cry for help, they all gathered at the door.
The girl watched the neighbours gathering at the door and was frightened. This time, she really worried that her little rat would be caught and killed. And the neighbors began to give advice to her aunt in the kitchen. However, because the kitchen space was very small and there were many items, the little rat hid flexibly. At the same time, her aunt was afraid of damaging things, so she didn’t catch the mouse for a while. Then two neighbors volunteered to help. When they opened the kitchen door, they bumped into each other at the door. At that moment, the little rat ran out of the crack and disappeared quickly. The little girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.
