【題目】 Seventeen-year-old Lindsey Stoefen loves to play tennis, softball and run until last October when a rare disorder paralyzed her legs and left her in a wheelchair. But in late April after becoming an in-patient at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital in Chicago, the teen climbed into a specially designed exoskeleton (外骨骼) which supported her body and moved her legs.

“Yes, I'm gonna be a robot! And I was scared at first. Am I gonna like it? Is it gonna be okay? And then once I got into it, I loved it." Lauren Bularzik, Lindsey s physical therapist, says the exo robots help to accelerate the recovery process.

For someone who takes a lot of energy to only walk a few feet, exo can get them up and get them moving. Besides speeding up recovery time, these robotic skeletons are especially helpful for those with paralysis, from spinal cord injuries and strokes.

Using the machine can help some patients rewire their brains to use secondary muscles, so they can eventually walk again without the device. But Patrick Wensing, assistant professor at the University of Notre Dame says exoskeletons have one big drawback. While existing exoskeletons are very powerful, right now they don t understand what the user wants to do. So in order to switch between activities in daily life, you often have to press a button interface to tell the exoskeleton “I would like to stand up now".

Wensing and his team are cooperating with Ekso Bionics, a leading developer of wearable robots, to create a machine that can understand what its user wants to do without implanted sensors and complicated control panels.

Taylor Gambon has spent the last year analyzing data from exoskeleton users and comparing them to models of everyday walking. Later this year, the team will travel to Ekso Bionics' California headquarters, where they will work directly with exoskeletons to design programs that interact with users of various disabilities, so that more people like Lindsey Stoefen can get back on their feet again.

【1】What's the purpose of the story about Stoefen in the first paragraph?

A.To prove Stoefen's bravery against disability.

B.To explain Stoefen's misfortune in life.

C.To introduce advanced medical skills in Chicago.

D.To introduce the topic of robotic skeleton.

【2】How does Patrick Wensing find the robotic skeletons?

A.They can improve the recovery speed.

B.They can replace the real person.

C.They can't understand the intention of users.

D.They can help patients do everything in life.

【3】What's the attitude of Taylor Gambon and his team towards the development of exo robots?

A.Disappointed.B.Critical.

C.Indifferent.D.Optimistic.

【4】Where is the text probably taken?

A.An advertisement.B.A science fiction.

C.A product handbook.D.A popular science magazine.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】D

【4】D

【解析】

本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章主要是介紹一種有助于加速康復(fù)過程的骨外機(jī)器人的研制以對(duì)此研究趨勢(shì)探究。

【1】推理判斷題。本文第一段開頭講述了喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)的斯托芬得了一種罕見疾病使得她的腿部癱瘓，她不得不坐上了輪椅。但是在4月底，當(dāng)她住進(jìn)芝加哥馬里亞諾康復(fù)醫(yī)院后，斯托芬用上了專門設(shè)計(jì)的外骨骼，使她能站起來并走動(dòng)。接下來講述這種骨外機(jī)器人發(fā)明的情況，故斯托芬的故事是為了引出下文談?wù)摰墓趋罊C(jī)器人。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的But Patrick Wensing, assistant professor at the University of Notre Dame says exoskeletons have one big drawback. While existing exoskeletons are very powerful, right now they don’t understand what the user wants to do.(但是圣母大學(xué)的助理教授Patrick Wensing說，外骨骼系統(tǒng)有一個(gè)很大的缺點(diǎn)。雖然現(xiàn)有的外骨骼非常強(qiáng)大，但目前它們還不知道用戶想要做什么)可知，在Patrick看來，外骨骼系統(tǒng)有一個(gè)很大的缺點(diǎn)，它們不知道使用者的意圖。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)本文最后一段談到泰勒·甘邦分析外骨骼用戶數(shù)據(jù)，并將其與日常行走模式進(jìn)行了比較。同時(shí)該團(tuán)隊(duì)將前往Ekso Bionics公司加州總部，他們將直接與骨骼機(jī)器人接觸，設(shè)計(jì)可以與各類殘疾病人互動(dòng)的骨骼機(jī)器人。因此，更多像林賽·斯托芬這樣的病人就可以重新站起來了，可見泰勒·甘邦以及他的團(tuán)隊(duì)對(duì)于骨骼機(jī)器人的研究持樂觀支持的態(tài)度。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。本文主要通過講述腿部癱瘓的斯托芬在不得不坐上輪椅的情況下，借助于骨外機(jī)器人能站起來并走動(dòng)的故事，以此來介紹骨外機(jī)器人的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)和此項(xiàng)發(fā)明的研究趨勢(shì)，故本文最可能是來自于科學(xué)雜志。故選D。

【題目】 As Uber looks to expand its food courier service in Japan, the ride-share giant has faced road blocks rarely seen on the home soil of the United States. 【1】.

Uber Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi told Bloomberg News his company's food-delivery in Japan has taken an alternative route to delivering food. The country has strict laws against ride sharing, and its unemployment rate is at 2.4 percent, making a tight job market. With a growing demand for food delivery, more of the elderly population has applied to become couriers.

“The elderly are actually signing up for Eats couriers,” Khosrowshahi said. “Eats has been a huge success for us in Japan. 【2】.” In Japan, the majority of current food deliverers bring the product via scooter or bicycle, but the older generation of applicants prefer to do it by foot. 【3】; adult diapers (尿布) outsell baby diapers. “This is one area unique to Japan, and we are looking if we can expand to the rest of the world,” Khosrowshahi said.

That plan includes increasing staffing levels in Japan by at least 30 percent over the next year, and these jobs aren't limited to grannies in sneakers. 【4】. It's still a slow pace considering the San Francisco-based company has more than 22,000 employees.

Uber currently works with eight taxi cab companies in Japan, and the pedestrian courier method is a way to branch out into areas untouched so far. There are cab-hailing apps available, as well as Uber Black, a car-hire service that's only available in Tokyo for now. “It will take time, but we like what we see in terms of the potential of the market” Khosrowshahi said. “【5】.”

A.The population is aging

B.They also include sales, operations and account management

C.It is going to be a very effective introduction to the Uber brand

D.Last year, Uber shifted to partnerships with local taxi companies

E.Japan is a growing nation for food-delivery-still way far behind the US

F.But putting grandma and grandpa in running shoes seems to make sense

G.The innovations that we are going to make here are going to carry around the world

【題目】 Having roommates can sometimes be challenging. 【1】 It can be said, though, that nearly all issues are based on one roommate's lack of consideration for another.

Considerate people usually have consideration for others simply because it seems like the best thing to do. On the contrary, inconsiderate people usually don't think of themselves as such. 【2】 This can consequently cause major upset in the atmosphere of a room.

Not all roommates have the same daily schedule, so a common problem that roommates have to deal with is noise. It can be hard to coordinate a time for noise and a time for quiet. One may want to study and the other may want to play music. 【3】

In the shared areas of the room, problems can arise in terms of how much space one or another roommate claims for himself. 【4】 This kind of space issue is often repeated in the refrigerator and other areas where each roommate needs an equal amount of space.

【5】 Although not all problems can be overcome easily, having discussions can sometimes prevent an issue from becoming a major point of tension in the room. For example, sometimes the solution to a problem with space is as simple as a verbal (言語的) exchange of views the problem.

A.There are certain things that roommates may decide not to share.

B.For example, one may take all the shared space for his or her own.

C.This can greatly contribute to the pleasure of living with roommates.

D.And it's hard to explain to these people that they are acting in inconsiderate manners.

E.So it's common that many people experience tough problems when living with others.

F.And one may have friends come over for a talk when the other is sick and trying to rest,

G.Open communication is the best way to come up with a solution to the above problems.

More and more students are doing part-time jobs today. There are many advantage in students doing part-time jobs. Except earning some money to support themselves, they can learn stuff what cannot be learned from textbooks. We will learn to get along with different kinds of people, get useful working experience and to learn the value of labor.

Therefore, there are also some disadvantages. For example, too much work may take up much of the students’ study time and affected their studies. Another disadvantage is that money earned, if not proper used, may lead to some bad habits, or even greed.

Good or bad, it is not easy for students to getting part-time jobs in China now. To change the situation, people should develop fresh look at students doing part-time jobs and provide them with opportunities.
