When someone damages their backbone, the injury can leave them paralyzed (瘫痪的)．Now, scientists have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again, thanks to an implanted device.
The human backbone, or the spine, doesn't just help us stand up straight.Inside is the spinal cord, which carries important information between the head and the lower part of the body.This information moves around as bursts of electricity travels between the brain and the other parts of the body.When the spinal cord is hurt, this pathway gets damaged and the patients can't move their legs.
Now scientists in Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again.To walk again, the men had surgery.A special device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord, below their injury.This “implant” contains sixteen electrodes, which are small objects that electricity can pass through.The researchers made sure the electrodes were lined up with nerves that control the leg muscles.The scientists controlled the implant from a tablet computer.
The patients' brains aren't sending “walking” messages to their legs.Instead, the tablet tells the implant to send the walking messages.The researchers used computers to generate patterns of movement, like taking a step.The patient then used the tablet to choose the pattern and the muscles move in the chosen way.Over time, the men were able to walk using a special walker with buttons to control each leg.
The solution isn't perfect.It's very expensive, it requires difficult surgery, and the patients can't walk without the system.But the scientists are hopeful that in the future, this sort of technology will allow many paralyzed people to begin to walk again in just hours.

We can have video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of a mountain.But communicating with a submarine (潜艇) or a diver is not so easy.The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater airborne (空气传播的) devices has long been a frustration for scientists.The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water. Sonar signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of water rather than reaching the air.
Now, researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication.“What we've shown is that it's actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，” says Fadel Adib, a professor at MIT's Media Lab, who led the research.
The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface，making vibrations (震动) corresponding to the 1s and 0s of the data.A surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations.The researchers call the system TARF.It has any number of potential real-world uses，Adib says.It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane's black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface.
Right now the technology is low-resolution.The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet.The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions — high waves, storms, schools of fish.They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction — air to water.If the technology proves successful in real-world conditions, expect “texting while diving” to be the latest underwater fashion.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项麻省理工学院的科学家发明的从水下与地面上的人进行通信的技术。

The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research instructions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing.
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers' Week for their newcomers. It's a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.
However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect (前景) of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking (令人焦虑不安的)．Where do you start？Who should you make friends with？Which clubs should you join
Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don't rush into anything that you'll regret for the next three years.
Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers' Week：
Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette (礼节)．Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you'll be to meet new people than if you're someone who never leaves his room.
Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you're in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you're friendly.
So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers' Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you'll be passing on your experience to next year's new recruits.

Firstly, with the fast development of society, more attention will be paid to education. Thus, the next generation will have greater knowledge, which will result in better public order. Secondly, people today have realized the importance of protecting the environment and wildlife. There is no doubt that the earth will be a picture of green mountains and fresh water.

If you are interested in the news, it means you care about what is happening in your community and the world. But sometimes news can be upsetting. If you find out about sad news and it makes you feel worried or upset, what should you do Dr. Harold Koplewicz, president of the Child Mind Institute, has some suggestions.
Sometimes, the news you watch on TV is not completely accurate. The news on TV is fast-paced. When bad news affects our nation, all of us need time to understand and process it. Your parents and your teachers can be your first sources to get information.
Even someone who is strong and powerful weeps when he's very sad. It's part of being a human that sad events make us feel sad. That doesn't mean that we need to fall_apart. It means that we just have to admit that we're sad and move forward.
People respond in different ways when facing sad news. There are certain kids who are very private and don't want anyone to see how they feel. But if you feel worried, talk to your parents and teachers, which can help you feel more comfortable.
If you still feel very nervous, another way to feel better is to take part in activities that are helpful to others. Go with your parents to the children's welfare institutions, or think of ways that you or your class can help others.
On the other hand, remember to go to sleep at the right time, play with your friends or go to the movies. It is okay to feel sad, but it's not good to stop doing the things you usually do.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As the new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting whizzes and bangs to light up the sky.The appeal of fireworks could fizzle_out with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows, though.
Ollie Howitt, the creative coordinator at SkyMagic, which used a team of 300 drones to create a display for London's new year celebration, said demand had increased substantially.“We do think it's going to be something that's ever catching on, as opposed to it being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got interested in.Drones are reusable and there's no fallout.In that sense they're a very good, sustainable option，” she said.
But not everyone agrees.A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems.“Suggestions are that drones have a smaller impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and the use of lithium batteries which are known not to be all that‘green’，” they said.
An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones were a possible idea to try to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there were shortcomings.“Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public.It's therefore important for their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to minimize the chance of accidents，” they said.
Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don't exclude each other.
The sight, sound and smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill.
“We find fireworks work really well when teamed with drones.But we don't really see it as a replacement at all.We feel as if it's just another tool in the chest for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you're putting on，” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演的优点、可能给环境带来的影响以及人们对无人机灯光表演的态度。
1．What does the underlined phrase“fizzle out”in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Catch on. B．Wind up.
C．Create an impact. D．Make a comeback.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。结合常识和第一段中的“fireworks”和“the growing use of drones”可知，烟花表演与无人机灯光表演都属于点亮夜空的表演秀，因此，当无人机越来越多地被用于灯光表演，烟花表演就减少或被替代，由此推知，fizzle out与wind up意思相近，意为“结束”，故选B项。
2．What does Howitt think about a drone display in Paragraph 2
A．It's definitely an upward trend.
B．It'll get us to reflect on energy crisis.
C．It's nothing but a temporary phenomenon.
D．It'll excite the public curiosity about science.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第二段中Howitt的话：我们确实认为它将会成为一种流行趋势，而不是人们突然间对其产生兴趣的一种短暂的时尚。无人机可以重复使用，而且不会产生放射性尘埃。从这个意义上说，它们是一种非常好的、可持续的选择。由此可推知，Howitt认为无人机表演呈上升的趋势。
3．Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph
A．Promoting the production of drones.
B．Diversifying the functions of drones.
C．Prohibiting the displays of fireworks.
D．Staging drone shows as an alternative.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Howitt的话可知，他们发现烟花和无人机配合时效果非常好，但他们并没有真正把它视为一个替代品。他们觉得它只是另一个工具，用来让天空更有生气，让你想对正在表演的节目做些什么。由此可知，Howitt认为无人机并不会取代烟花，建议把它作为一种选择。
4．In which section of a website can we read this text
A．Advertisement. B．Education.
C．Health. D．Environment.
解析：选D 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演的优点、可能给环境带来的影响以及人们对无人机灯光表演的态度，因此我们可能在网站上与环境有关的部分读到这篇文章。
B
The clock always seems to be ticking rather too fast in the doctor's office and the queue of patients outside the door seems to be pressing rather too hard. Some say it's high time for the model of short, sharp one-to-one appointments to give way to shared medical appointments (SMAs)．
SMAs are doctor-patient visits in which a group of patients receive patient education and counseling(咨询), physical examination and medical support in a group setting. Typically SMAs are designed to have one or more doctors attend to a group of patients who share a common illness or medical condition. In contrast to one-to-one visits, SMAs provide a longer appointment time-frame as well as the opportunity for patients to have improved access to their physicians and meanwhile pick up additional information and support from peers.
However, doctors who have pioneered the shared appointment approach report that there are significant challenges involved. Dr. Sumego, director of shared medical appointments, Cleveland Clinic, identifies culture change as the most significant challenge. Physicians and nurses are trained in a model of personal service and privacy; the SMAs approach is a fundamental challenge to those fixed ideas. They need shared goals and a way of testing the innovation against agreed standards. Dr. Sumego says, “The physicians may be worried about the possible chaos and efficiencies that are marketed. They also have to make the patients understand what their appointment is, and what the expectation is.”
“So, if an organization was looking to start shared medical appointments, I would advise them to start the buy-in from a few champion physicians, develop the work-flow and develop some experience. Provide some support behind what that best practice should look like. Create some standards so that, as the concept spreads, you can employ that experience to start the next shared medical appointments and the next.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了SMAs 共享医疗预约 模式，以及这种模式面临的挑战。
5. What is the purpose of the SMAs approach
A．To improve medical service.
B．To promote doctors' reputation.
C．To conduct medical research.
D．To meet patients' expectation.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In contrast to ... support from peers.”可知，SMAs模式为患者提供了更长的预约时间，也为患者提供了更好地与医生接触的机会，同时还能从同行那里获得额外的信息和支持。这说明SMAs的出现是为患者提供更好的医疗服务。故选A。
6．According to Dr. Sumego, what prevents the SMAs approach from being widely adopted
A．Personal service. B．Fixed ideas.
C．Lack of equipment. D．Shared goals.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Dr. Sumego, director of ... those fixed ideas.”可知，Dr. Sumego认为，文化转变是最大的挑战。医生和护士接受的是针对个人服务和隐私的培训；SMAs方法是对这些固有想法的根本挑战。也就是说，改变这些固有想法是一种挑战，所以这些固有想法会阻碍SMAs模式的推广，故选B。
7. What can the underlined “buy-in” in Paragraph 4 be replaced by
A．Support. B．Organization.
C．Purchase. D．Practice.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据最后一段第一句可知，如果一个组织要寻求共享医疗模式的话，Dr. Sumego建议他们从一些优秀的医师开始他们的buy-in，根据语境，故选A。
8. What can be learned about the SMAs approach in the last paragraph
A．It is currently being questioned.
B．It is impractical in some areas.
C．It will enjoy wide popularity soon.
D．It should be carried out step by step.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，如果一个组织要开始SMAs，Dr. Sumego建议他们从一些优秀的医师开始，开发一些流程，积累一些经验。制定一些标准，以便随着概念的推广，他们可以利用这种经验开始下一次共享医疗预约然后将下次的经验用到再下次。这说明SMAs的实施需要一步一步来，不会一步到位。故选D。
