Inside Baiduren, which looks by outward appearances like a cafe, relatives of the dead can tell the staff stories that they may not be able to share with friends and family for any number of reasons.
“Our job initially was funeral planning and handling related affairs for customers,” said Shi Xiaolin, leader of what Badiruen calls the “life experiencing project”. “After a few years, we felt that we wanted to make a breakthrough in the industry because there are still so many prejudices about funeral homes,” he explained.
That was obvious from the start. Shi and his team had difficulty finding a landlord willing to rent to a funeral parlor (殡仪馆) . In the end, the site they found was in Hongkou District, a me re 10- minute walk from Baoxing Funeral Parlor, one of the largest undertakers in Shanghai.
The Baiduren salon is decorated in a modern style, with soft lighting that contrasts with traditional funeral homes.
“Apart from those who want to pour their hearts out, we also receive families who want to discuss funeral affairs in a more relaxed, comforting environment,” Shi told Shanghai Daily.
The Baiduren salon looks like a common cafe, but many people come here to pour out their hearts about their perceptions of life and death. The salon has been more popular than the team expected since its soft opening in late February. In the past month, the team has listened to a lot of stories — from survivors who can’t seem to accept the loss of a loved one, to survivors still in shock over a death that occurred by accident. In turn, staff often relate their own stories of sorrow.
The salon, from the standpoint of both staff and customers, points to a change in how people — especially the young — view death and funerals. And Baiduren is not the only example of young people determined to make a difference in the funeral business.
4. What difficulty did Shi Xiaolin meet at first?
A. He couldn’t find employees. B. No one would rent sites to him.
C. The relatives of the dead doubted him. D. He lacked money to decorate the parlor.
5. What is people’s attitude toward the Baiduren salon?
A. They accept the new trend. B. They show no interest in it.
C. They hold a wait- and- see attitude. D. They feel it shows no respect to the dead.
6. Which words can be used to describe Shi Xiaolin?
A. Honest and reliable. B. Warm- hearted and humble.
C. Considerate and creative. D. Diligent and responsible.
7. What will be talked about next?
A. The future of the Baiduren salon. B. Other people engaging in funeral business.
C. The diverse services the Baiduren salon offers. D. Young people’s view on funeral business.

The world’s first jet- suit (喷气服) race, organized by Gravity Industries, a UK-based tech company that specializes in high-powered jet-suits, took place around the Dubai Marina this week with racers wearing Iron Man-esque technology rushing around, hoping to first cross the finishing line.
All went smoothly, aside from a minor mess- up by Emirati pilot Ahmed al-Shehhi, who reportedly crashed into the water during his heat. Fortunately, he quickly rose to the water surface and gave a thumbs-up before being picked up by a rescue crew.
Inspired by F1 technology, the suits feature five gas turbines (涡轮机) fitted on the arms and back, capable of generating over 1, 000 horsepower. This allows the racer to pick up speeds of up to128 kilometers per hour. The suits can typically stay in air for just 3 minutes, although it’s possible to fly for over 7 minutes if conditions are ideal.
If the suits remind you of a certain billionaire superhero, you’re not alone. It seems that the founder of Gravity Industries also drew some inspiration from the Marvel Universe.
“The closest comparison would be that dream of flying. . . and then go wherever your mind is taking you,” Richard Browning, the founder and chief test pilot, said after the race.
“And yes, the world of Marvel superheroes and DC Comics, they have created that dream book, and we are the people who are the closest to realizing that for real,” Browning added.
Understandably, the technology doesn’t come cheap. If you fancy getting your hands on a custom- made jet-suit from Gravity Industries, expect a price tag of at least £380, 000.
It isn’t all fun and games, though. Gravity Industries has previously demonstrated that their jetpacks could be used by rescue teams to reach dangerous mountain areas. They’ve also suggested it could be used by police forces to hunt down criminals on the run.
8. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. The definition of horsepower. B. The features of F1 technology.
C. The conditions of using jet- suits. D. The introduction of the jet- suits.
9. How did Richard Browning feel after the race?
A. Confident. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Concerned.
10. What can we know about the new technology of Gravity Industries?
A. It has its medical value. B. It is affordable for everyone.
C. It can be used in rescue work. D. It has been adopted by the police.
11. What is the aim of this passage?
A. To compare. B. To entertain. C. To inform. D. To persuade.
D
The meeting continues, and you feel your eyes getting heavy, your mind drowsy (昏昏欲睡). Suddenly you wake up and get a very attentive wakefulness — did anyone see me doze off (打盹) ? You’ve fallen into a microsleep, a very brief sleep that ends almost as soon as it begins. When you’re trying to be awake and active, these may make you feel anxious or, if they happen behind the wheel, justifiably terrified.
Microsleeps don’t make us feel rested or restored, like longer periods of uninterrupted sleep would. Yet a new study shows that nesting chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) sleep just this way more than 10, 000 times a day. Incredibly, our experiments prove that this strange sleep cycle seems to do the birds no obvious harm.
“What is really weird is that the penguin can sustain this in-between wake and sleep state constantly,” explains co-author Paul-Antoine Libourel, who studies the biology of sleep. Simply watching the penguins nod and blink gave the appearance that they were drowsy, he adds, but the extent of their sleeping was a surprise.
To study these penguins, for two weeks, the scientists used some sensors to record data to measure the birds’ sleep-related brain activity. Other sensors recorded the birds’ positions (standing, lying, diving), tracked their location via GPS, and collected environmental data like temperature. The authors also did continuous video monitoring of the same nesting birds so that their observable behaviors could be matched with simultaneous data on their brain activity.
Researchers discovered that the birds nodded off thousands of times per day, engaging in microsleeps that averaged just four seconds each but added up to more than 11 hours of sleep per day.
Why would the birds adopt this fascinating sleep cycle? The need to sleep briefly could simply be a consequence of living in a noisy group where sleep is constantly interrupted. The constant guard also help keep the nests safe from the brown skua bird, which feeds on penguin eggs and chicks. Having only seconds of sleep at a time would allow the birds to react to any possible dangers.
12 How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By describing a familiar scene. B. By introducing a sleep pattern.
C. By reminding you of a bad habit. D. By showing the boredom of meetings.
13. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Inspiring. B. Strange. C. Worrying. D. Meaningful.
14. What might contribute to chinstrap penguins' sleep pattern?
A. Their unique brain structure. B. Their years’ of hard training.
C. Their tough living environment. D. Their special standing position.
15. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Seconds of Sleep, Lifelong Benefits B. Awake or Asleep? No One Knows for Sure
C. Falling into Sleep? You Are Completely Wrong D. Sleeping for Seconds, Thousands of Times a Day

47. 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。
My brother and I set off shortly after sunrise. The air was cool, but I knew that wouldn’t last long. I’d chosen this hike for a hot day like today so that we’d climb down into a redrock canyon (峡谷) , where we would swim in a pool and camp by a picturesque waterfall. I knew it wouldn’t be an easy hike, though. I’d researched and planned for weeks, knowing climbing down into the canyon is challenging.
About a mile in, the trail started to dip down to the river and the footing became steep (陡峭) . After repeated slips on the loose ground, my brother decided to turn back to the car. Unwilling to give up on my plan so soon and remembering there was another car where we parked, I believed there was someone else going to the canyon. So I chose to continue alone. He gave me the bag which contained food and water. Then we decided to meet up at the car the next day.
After another mile or so, the river came into view below me, but the trail became less obvious. I chose to go down along a bush-covered slope (斜坡) . As soon as I began hiking down, though, I realized the ground was much looser than I’d thought. I decided to climb back up and find another way.
I tried to pull myself up, but, unfortunately, the rock I was standing on broke beneath me. My face struck earth first. I was rolling with my bag, dirt and red sandstone flying beneath me as I picked up speed. I was going to die, I thought.
Then I fell flat on my back, my head hitting on a baseball-size stone. To my surprise, I was alive, but everything hurt. After lying in confusion for a few moments, I tried to look around. One of my eyes was already swollen shut, and through the other, the world spun around me. I could hardly move my left hand, and my right ankle hurt terribly.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Inside Baiduren, which looks by outward appearances like a cafe, relatives of the dead can tell the staff stories that they may not be able to share with friends and family for any number of reasons.
“Our job initially was funeral planning and handling related affairs for customers,” said Shi Xiaolin, leader of what Badiruen calls the “life experiencing project”. “After a few years, we felt that we wanted to make a breakthrough in the industry because there are still so many prejudices about funeral homes,” he explained.
That was obvious from the start. Shi and his team had difficulty finding a landlord willing to rent to a funeral parlor (殡仪馆) . In the end, the site they found was in Hongkou District, a me re 10- minute walk from Baoxing Funeral Parlor, one of the largest undertakers in Shanghai.
The Baiduren salon is decorated in a modern style, with soft lighting that contrasts with traditional funeral homes.
“Apart from those who want to pour their hearts out, we also receive families who want to discuss funeral affairs in a more relaxed, comforting environment,” Shi told Shanghai Daily.
The Baiduren salon looks like a common cafe, but many people come here to pour out their hearts about their perceptions of life and death. The salon has been more popular than the team expected since its soft opening in late February. In the past month, the team has listened to a lot of stories — from survivors who can’t seem to accept the loss of a loved one, to survivors still in shock over a death that occurred by accident. In turn, staff often relate their own stories of sorrow.
The salon, from the standpoint of both staff and customers, points to a change in how people — especially the young — view death and funerals. And Baiduren is not the only example of young people determined to make a difference in the funeral business.
4. What difficulty did Shi Xiaolin meet at first?
A. He couldn’t find employees. B. No one would rent sites to him.
C. The relatives of the dead doubted him. D. He lacked money to decorate the parlor.
5. What is people’s attitude toward the Baiduren salon?
A. They accept the new trend. B. They show no interest in it.
C. They hold a wait- and- see attitude. D. They feel it shows no respect to the dead.
6. Which words can be used to describe Shi Xiaolin?
A. Honest and reliable. B. Warm- hearted and humble.
C. Considerate and creative. D. Diligent and responsible.
7. What will be talked about next?
A. The future of the Baiduren salon. B. Other people engaging in funeral business.
C. The diverse services the Baiduren salon offers. D. Young people’s view on funeral business.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B

The world’s first jet- suit (喷气服) race, organized by Gravity Industries, a UK-based tech company that specializes in high-powered jet-suits, took place around the Dubai Marina this week with racers wearing Iron Man-esque technology rushing around, hoping to first cross the finishing line.
All went smoothly, aside from a minor mess- up by Emirati pilot Ahmed al-Shehhi, who reportedly crashed into the water during his heat. Fortunately, he quickly rose to the water surface and gave a thumbs-up before being picked up by a rescue crew.
Inspired by F1 technology, the suits feature five gas turbines (涡轮机) fitted on the arms and back, capable of generating over 1, 000 horsepower. This allows the racer to pick up speeds of up to128 kilometers per hour. The suits can typically stay in air for just 3 minutes, although it’s possible to fly for over 7 minutes if conditions are ideal.
If the suits remind you of a certain billionaire superhero, you’re not alone. It seems that the founder of Gravity Industries also drew some inspiration from the Marvel Universe.
“The closest comparison would be that dream of flying. . . and then go wherever your mind is taking you,” Richard Browning, the founder and chief test pilot, said after the race.
“And yes, the world of Marvel superheroes and DC Comics, they have created that dream book, and we are the people who are the closest to realizing that for real,” Browning added.
Understandably, the technology doesn’t come cheap. If you fancy getting your hands on a custom- made jet-suit from Gravity Industries, expect a price tag of at least £380, 000.
It isn’t all fun and games, though. Gravity Industries has previously demonstrated that their jetpacks could be used by rescue teams to reach dangerous mountain areas. They’ve also suggested it could be used by police forces to hunt down criminals on the run.
8. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. The definition of horsepower. B. The features of F1 technology.
C. The conditions of using jet- suits. D. The introduction of the jet- suits.
9. How did Richard Browning feel after the race?
A. Confident. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Concerned.
10. What can we know about the new technology of Gravity Industries?
A. It has its medical value. B. It is affordable for everyone.
C. It can be used in rescue work. D. It has been adopted by the police.
11. What is the aim of this passage?
A. To compare. B. To entertain. C. To inform. D. To persuade.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】

主旨大意题。根据第三段“Inspired by F1 technology, the suits feature five gas turbines (涡轮机) fitted on the arms and back, capable of generating over 1, 000 horsepower. This allows the racer to pick up speeds of up to128 kilometers per hour. The suits can typically stay in air for just 3 minutes, although it's possible to fly for over 7 minutes if conditions are ideal.(受到F1技术的启发,这套喷气服的手臂和背部安装了五个燃气轮机,能够产生超过1000马力的动力。这使得赛车可以达到每小时128公里的速度。这种喷气服通常只能在空中停留3分钟,但如果条件理想,也有可能飞行超过7分钟)”可知,本段作者介绍了喷气服的组件、能够产生的功率以及通常在空中持续飞行的时长,因此判断本段主要是对喷气服的基本信息的介绍。故选D项。

【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It isn’t all fun and games, though. Gravity Industries has previously demonstrated that their jetpacks could be used by rescue teams to reach dangerous mountain areas. They’ve also suggested it could be used by police forces to hunt down criminals on the run.(不过,这并不全是娱乐和游戏。重力工业公司此前已经证明,他们的喷气服可以被救援队用来到达危险的山区。他们还建议,警察可以用它来追捕在逃的罪犯)”可知,这种技术可以用于救援工作。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The world’s first jet- suit (喷气服) race, organized by Gravity Industries, a UK-based tech company that specializes in high-powered jet-suits, took place around the Dubai Marina this week with racers wearing Iron Man-esque technology rushing around, hoping to first cross the finishing line.(世界上第一场喷气服比赛于本周在迪拜码头举行,由总部位于英国的重力工业公司(Gravity Industries)组织,该公司专门从事高性能喷气服的制造。参赛选手们穿着钢铁侠式的科技装备四处奔跑,希望能第一个冲过终点线)”以及通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了一次喷气服飞行比赛和喷气飞行服技术的特点以及应用领域等,由此推断文章的目的是告知这个活动以及这种技术。故选C项。
D
The meeting continues, and you feel your eyes getting heavy, your mind drowsy (昏昏欲睡). Suddenly you wake up and get a very attentive wakefulness — did anyone see me doze off (打盹) ? You’ve fallen into a microsleep, a very brief sleep that ends almost as soon as it begins. When you’re trying to be awake and active, these may make you feel anxious or, if they happen behind the wheel, justifiably terrified.
Microsleeps don’t make us feel rested or restored, like longer periods of uninterrupted sleep would. Yet a new study shows that nesting chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) sleep just this way more than 10, 000 times a day. Incredibly, our experiments prove that this strange sleep cycle seems to do the birds no obvious harm.
“What is really weird is that the penguin can sustain this in-between wake and sleep state constantly,” explains co-author Paul-Antoine Libourel, who studies the biology of sleep. Simply watching the penguins nod and blink gave the appearance that they were drowsy, he adds, but the extent of their sleeping was a surprise.
To study these penguins, for two weeks, the scientists used some sensors to record data to measure the birds’ sleep-related brain activity. Other sensors recorded the birds’ positions (standing, lying, diving), tracked their location via GPS, and collected environmental data like temperature. The authors also did continuous video monitoring of the same nesting birds so that their observable behaviors could be matched with simultaneous data on their brain activity.
Researchers discovered that the birds nodded off thousands of times per day, engaging in microsleeps that averaged just four seconds each but added up to more than 11 hours of sleep per day.
Why would the birds adopt this fascinating sleep cycle? The need to sleep briefly could simply be a consequence of living in a noisy group where sleep is constantly interrupted. The constant guard also help keep the nests safe from the brown skua bird, which feeds on penguin eggs and chicks. Having only seconds of sleep at a time would allow the birds to react to any possible dangers.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By describing a familiar scene. B. By introducing a sleep pattern.
C. By reminding you of a bad habit. D. By showing the boredom of meetings.
13. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Inspiring. B. Strange. C. Worrying. D. Meaningful.
14. What might contribute to chinstrap penguins' sleep pattern?
A. Their unique brain structure. B. Their years’ of hard training.
C. Their tough living environment. D. Their special standing position.
15. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Seconds of Sleep, Lifelong Benefits B. Awake or Asleep? No One Knows for Sure
C. Falling into Sleep? You Are Completely Wrong D. Sleeping for Seconds, Thousands of Times a Day
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了帽带企鹅的特殊的睡眠模式,这种睡眠模式可以让企鹅一直介于清醒和睡眠之间的状态,让它们能够持续保持对外界的警觉。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The meeting continues, and you feel your eyes getting heavy, your mind drowsy (昏昏欲睡) . Suddenly you wake up and get a very attentive wakefulness—did anyone see me doze off (打盹) ? You’ve fallen into a microsleep, a very brief sleep that ends almost as soon as it begins.(会议继续进行,你感到眼皮沉重,头脑昏昏欲睡。突然你醒来,变得非常清醒——有人看到我打盹了吗?你进入了微睡眠,一种非常短暂的睡眠,几乎一开始就结束了。)”可知,作者通过描述一个熟悉的场景来引入话题。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Incredibly, our experiments prove that this strange sleep cycle seems to do the birds no obvious harm.(令人难以置信的是,我们的实验证明,这种奇怪的睡眠周期似乎对鸟类没有明显的伤害。)”以及“第三段“but the extent of their sleeping was a surprise(但他们的睡眠程度令人惊讶)”“What is really weird is that the penguin can sustain this in- between wake and sleep state constantly(真正weird的是,企鹅可以持续保持这种介于清醒和睡眠之间的状态)”可知,企鹅可以持续保持这种介于清醒和睡眠之间的状态是奇怪的,所以weird的意思与“奇怪的”意义相近。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The need to sleep briefly could simply be a consequence of living in a noisy group where sleep is constantly interrupted. The constant guard also help keep the nests safe from the brown skua bird, which feeds on penguin eggs and chicks.(短暂睡眠的需求可能只是生活在一个嘈杂的群体中,睡眠不断被打断的结果。持续的警戒也有助于保护巢穴免受棕色贼鸥的侵害,棕色贼鸥以企鹅蛋和雏鸟为食。)”可知,帽带企鹅的睡眠模式可能是由于它们艰难的生活环境。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Researchers discovered that the birds nodded off thousands of times per day, engaging in microsleeps that averaged just four seconds each but added up to more than 11 hours of sleep per day.(研究人员发现,这些鸟每天打盹数千次,每次微睡眠平均只有四秒钟,但每天的睡眠时间总计超过11小时。)”可知,文章主要介绍了帽带企鹅的特殊的睡眠模式,这种睡眠模式可以让企鹅一直介于清醒和睡眠之间的状态,让它们能够持续保持对外界的警觉。文章的最佳标题是“每天数千次,每次几秒钟的睡眠”。故选D。

【16题详解】
前句“I’m an Indonesian student and finished my Master’s degree in Sweden.(我是一名印度尼西亚学生,在瑞典完成了我的硕士学位)”提到作者在国外学习,后句“Here are my top four things that I’ve learned from my experience.(以下是我从自己的经历中学到的四件事)”引出本文的话题,即介绍作者从个人经历中所学到的四件事情,因此判断C 选项“在国外学习教会了我很多东西”符合语境。故选C。

根据上文“I understand my home country better. Being a local in my home country for almost a lifetime got me thinking that the grass was always greener in other countries.(我更了解我的祖国。在我的祖国当了几乎一辈子的当地人,这让我觉得其他国家的草总是更绿)”以及后文“And my country has different positive angles that I’ve learned to see and be proud of.(我的国家有不同的积极的角度,我学会了去看并为之自豪)”提到作者曾经一直以为其他国家的草更绿,后句提到作者了解到了自己的国家也有值得骄傲的方面,可知本句为转折句,因此判断E选项“然而,出国让我有机会看到,没有一个国家是完美的”符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“I get much deeper understanding of other cultures’ perspectives. Studying abroad has changed my perspective and made me shift my beliefs. I’ve learned the issue of privacy.

I used to take everyone’s pictures and share them online.(我对其他文化观点有了更深的理解。留学改变了我的视角,改变了我的信念。我知道了隐私的问题。我曾经认为,互联网是我们应该谈论我们的活动,并向世界分享我们自己的许多部分的地方。我过去常常拍下每个人的照片并在网上分享)”可知,上文提到作者以前认为网络就是向世界分享活动和自我的地方,而且经常拍下别人的照片并上传到网上,由此判断G 选项“现在我保护我的数据,尊重别人的隐私,甚至提醒别人这样做”可以承接上文,和前句构成转折关系。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据前面提到的问题“What is travelling all about? Why do we need travelling?(什么是旅行?我们为什么需要旅行?)”,结合“questions”可知F选项“通过回答这些问题,我开始对旅行有了不同的理解”的内容符合语境。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据后文“When you study abroad, the first thing you might notice are the many differences between people. But you also see that all of these differences are also universal — people in many ways are the same everywhere. Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to really understand people from different culture backgrounds. And when you make friends, you learn to accept their perfections alongside their shortcomings.(当你在国外学习时,你可能注意到的第一件事就是人与人之间的许多差异。但你也会看到,所有这些差异也是普遍存在的——世界各地的人在很多方面都是一样的。出国留学让你有机会真正了解来自不同文化背景的人。当你交朋友时,你学会接受他们的优点和缺点)”可知,本段内容介绍了在国外学习时作者注意到人与人之间的差异,但也发现这种差异是普遍存在的,从而在接受人们优点的同时也学会了接受人们的缺点,故A 选项“我逐渐学会接受人与人之间的差异”可以作为本段主题句。故选A。

考查非谓语动词。句意:关于围棋的最早记载出现在公元前4世纪的历史书《左传》中。设空处应填非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰book,且write与book之间是被动关系,故用过去分词written。故填written。
【38题详解】

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语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My brother and I set off shortly after sunrise. The air was cool, but I knew that wouldn’t last long. I’d chosen this hike for a hot day like today so that we’d climb down into a redrock canyon (峡谷) , where we would swim in a pool and camp by a picturesque waterfall. I knew it wouldn’t be an easy hike, though. I’d researched and planned for weeks, knowing climbing down into the canyon is challenging.
About a mile in, the trail started to dip down to the river and the footing became steep (陡峭的) . After repeated slips on the loose ground, my brother decided to turn back to the car. Unwilling to give up on my plan so soon and remembering there was another car where we parked, I believed there was someone else going to the canyon. So I chose to continue alone. He gave me the bag which contained food and water. Then we decided to meet up at the car the next day.
After another mile or so, the river came into view below me, but the trail became less obvious. I chose to go down along a bush-covered slope (斜坡) . As soon as I began hiking down, though, I realized the ground was much looser than I’d thought. I decided to climb back up and find another way.
I tried to pull myself up, but, unfortunately, the rock I was standing on broke beneath me. My face struck earth first. I was rolling with my bag, dirt and red sandstone flying beneath me as I picked up speed. I was going to die, I thought.
Then I fell flat on my back, my head hitting on a baseball-size stone. To my surprise, I was alive, but everything hurt. After lying in confusion for a few moments, I tried to look around. One of my eyes was already swollen shut, and through the other, the world spun around me. I could hardly move my left hand, and my right ankle hurt terribly.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Fighting my unsteady vision, I pulled out my phone, only to find there was no service.

It had been about 2 hours since my fall when I heard the sound of several people.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Fighting my unsteady vision, I pulled out my phone, only to find there was no service. That was too bad. Now I noticed I’d landed in the canyon bottom about 20 feet from the river’s edge. My bag was lying not far from me. Gathering my strength, I dragged myself to the river to clean myself and then used some tree branches to create a spot of shade, knowing the temperature would climb above 100°F later on. With my injuries, there was no way I could get myself up and out of the canyon. I could do nothing but wait.
It had been about 2 hours since my fall when I heard the sound of several people. They were hikers. They must be the owners of the car. Then I spotted a family of three picking their way down the canyon wall. “Help!” I screamed. The father rushed to my side and I told him what had happened. Shortly after his wife and daughter arrived, the man turned and ran off to call for help. I was luckily rescued and sent to hospital for treatment. The lesson I drew from this lucky survival is that you should never ever hike alone to an unfamiliar destination.
