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.
(1)、Who first noticed the injured hiker?A、A train rider. B、Henry Smith. C、The train crew. D、Nick and Kylah.(2)、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、People on the next train also contributed to the rescue work.(4)、Which of following words best describe the hiker?A、Energetic and generous. B、Responsible and admirable. C、Perseverant and humorous. D、Adaptable and strong-willed.23. 阅读理解Riding on an exercise bike at home may keep you in physical shape, but it can get pretty boring after a while. Aaron Puzey had been on his exercise bike for half an hour a day for years when he decided to look for a way to make it a bit more fun.
With virtual reality technology widely available nowadays, all he needed to do was find a way of applying it to his needs. So he set out to build an app for the Samsung Galaxy Gear VR headset ( 头戴式视图器) which would allow him to hook it up to Google Street View and make it seem like he's cycling through different real-life locations.
Building the app to download the 3D data from Street View and make it viewable in the VR headset was the toughest part of his project. Other than that, all he needed to do was tape a Bluetooth monitor to his exercise bike. Although the quality of the images sometimes leaves a lot to be desired, leaving complex scenes like trees looking like a mess, Aaron has been having a lot of fun on his journey.
Aaron's project is obviously no substitute (替代品) for real outdoor cycling as it lacks things like the wind blowing in your face or the pain of battling an uphill climb, but it has given him a goal as well as the chance to take in the beauty of places he might have otherwise never seen. It definitely beats staring at a wall or at the TV for 30 minutes, anyway.
Obviously, Aaron's set up theoretically allows him to ride a bike anywhere around the world. He says he has always wanted to see Japan, so once his ride comes to an end, he plans to start another one across the Land of the Rising Sun.
(1)、Why did Aaron Puzey build the app?A、To invent a new kind of bicycle. B、To keep himself in good physical shape. C、To satisfy the needs of the public. D、To add pleasure to his exercise bike routine.(2)、What was the challenge for Puzey in his project?A、Changing the 3D data into pictures. B、Downloading the software from the Internet. C、Making the 3D data viewable in the headset. D、Taping a Bluetooth monitor to his exercise bike.(3)、What is the author's attitude towards Aaron's project?A、Optimistic. B、Doubtful. C、Indifferent. D、Neutral.(4)、What might be the best title for the text?A、Cycling Across the World at Home. B、The Lazy Man and His Crazy Idea. C、A New Way of Cycling Without Effort. D、A Substitute for Real Outdoor Cycling.24. 阅读理解In London, black taxis and their drivers have become the focus of a new exploration into Alzheimer's (阿兹 海默症). For those on the outside, it may seem that behind the wheel of these black taxis are just regular people who help move us to our destinations. But within their brains is a map of London's streets that has put GPS technology to shame for decades.
"The Knowledge", the test for London's taxi drivers, stands among the hardest mental examinations one could ever undergo. It involves recalling information repeatedly from the memory of minute details about 56,0000 streets in London, from Trafalgar Square to the tiniest residential lanes.
Normally, the hippocampus (海马体) feels the effects of Alzheimer's most. University College London and Alzheimer's Research UK are studying these taxi drivers ' brains, as it has been found that the hippocampus controlling the brain's short-term memory and spatial ( 空 间 的) memory systems is enlarged in their brains. Moreover, the taxi drivers ' hippocampi continue to enlarge as they go on doing the job for more years, suggesting that perhaps there's something we can do to reproduce the effect in the general population.
Lead researcher Hugo Spiers was part of the team which 20 years ago found that, like birds and squirrels, the taxi drivers ' hippocampi gradually got bigger. Indeed, research has found for years that any animal that requires a detailed spatial knowledge of their territory experiences growth in the hippocampus.
Spiers' team hopes to deal with Alzheimer's by studying the taxi drivers' brains. To collect more information on the mechanisms (机制) that cause the "brain gain", Spiers has asked thirty of London's taxi drivers connected to an MRI machine to drive around on their routes. The machine will allow the researchers to gather real time observations of the workings of the hippocampus. "It's been a joy to help scientists fight with the disease," said taxi driver Robert Lordan.
(1)、 What can we say about "The Knowledge"?A、It lasts for a few minutes only. B、It is usually held in London's busy streets. C、It is a great challenge to people's memory. D、It invites some residents in London to be judges.(2)、 What has been found about the taxi drivers ' hippocampi?A、They are more likely to be harmed. B、They grow in the taxi drivers ' careers. C、They benefit from daily communication most. D、They are poor at controlling short-term memory.(3)、Why does the author mention the research on animals?A、To imply the new study benefits the animal kingdom as well. B、To point out that more studies on animals 'brains are needed. C、To show animals ' hippocampi are very different from humans '. D、To prove the use of certain knowledge influences brain development.(4)、Why do the researchers observe the taxi drivers with an MRI machine?A、To figure out who has the largest hippocampus. B、To know how Alzheimer's develops in their brains. C、To find out how their hippocampi perform at work. D、To test whether the special machine is effective.三、第三部分,阅读理解,第二节 (共 5 小题; 每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)

25. 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It happens from time to time that after a whole morning of studying, you are tired in the afternoon. It is then that you may want to eat something sweet, perhaps a sweet drink or a chocolate bar to lift your mood.
But a study suggests that sugar can make you feel worse rather than lift your mood. The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1,300 adults. Those emotions include anger, alertness, depression and tiredness. They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour, and that these feelings become more intense over time.
According to researchers, when people take in sugar, their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short "feel good" period. However, as they begin to consume the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly, leading to a bad feeling. As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people being tired and less alert.
According to WHO, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk, so long as they make up less than 5 percent of our daily total energy intake.
So the next time you feel tired and can't concentrate on study and work, perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar. There are still other ways to relieve tiredness.
A. Maybe a little exercise at midday is a better idea.
B. So cutting sweet food out of the diet is a good choice.
C. They studied the effect of sugar on some aspects of mood.
D. After all, it's believed that a "sugar rush" gives you energy.
E. The bad feeling may disappear gradually with some relaxing exercises.
F. But the result of the study doesn't mean giving up sweet food altogether.
G. To remain on a "high", people may eat more sugar until they become addicted to it.

I was one of the people who came from all parts of China to work on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
(seat) back in my seat, I can't believe that I'm about to travel along the railway that many foreign experts claimed was "impossible" . The railway is a record of all our efforts (overcome) the difficulties, ranging from engineering challenges ecosystem protection.

It seems that they are (total) unware of the train that is speeding past. The journey has been flying by, and we have reached Tanggula Station before I know it. In this highest railway station in the world, the thin air, terrible weather condition UV radiation were perhaps the greatest challenges for railway workers. Several oxygen-making stations made possible for us to deal with some emergencies and stay healthy.
Our efforts have met people's (admire) for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for centuries. I'm proud of this winding dragon. It is definitely extraordinary "Sky Railway" .

33. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was the fifth among the seven children in my family. We all went to the same public school. Every year, my mother went to the same scene and had parent-child interviews with the same teachers. The only thing different was the child. And every child participated in an old school tradition — the annual plant sale held in early May, just in time for Mother's Day.
Third grade was the first time that I was allowed to take part in the plant sale. I wanted to surprise my mother, but I didn't have any money. I went to my oldest sister and shared the secret, and she gave me some money. When I arrived at the plant sale, I carefully made my selection and spent a long time observing each plant to ensure that I had indeed found the best geranium (天竺葵). Once I had taken it secretly home, with the help of my sister, I hid it in the attic (阁楼). I was very nervous for fear that my mother would find it before Mother's Day, but my sister assured me that she wouldn't, and indeed she did not.
When Mother's Day arrived, I got up very early, went into the attic on tiptoe and carried the carefully-selected geranium to the kitchen, where my mother was preparing breakfast. "It's for you!" I gave the flower to mum and her tightly.
The year I was fifteen, my younger sister reached third grade. In early May she came to me full of wonder and secrecy and told me that there was going to be a plant sale at school, and she wanted to surprise our mother. As my older sister did for me, I gave her some money and off she went.
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。
She arrived home full of nervous excitement.
……
To my surprise, my mother was watering the geraniums in the attic
