B A Houseplant Is Helping Me Survive My wife Hannah and I usually don’t keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered. After my diagnosis (诊断) with brain cancer, I loved the idea of having something new and green and alive around us. When my friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant, we placed it in the living room window where I spent much of each day. I told Hannah I wanted to look after the plant myself. When it didn’t immediately turn yellow or brown or lose all of its leaves, I was pleasantly surprised. As a doctor, I was used to being the one who provided care, not the one who received it. Since my diagnosis, it seemed, I had to rely on help from other people. Taking care of the plant gave me the feeling 第 4页 共 5页 of being happy and satisfied when I felt useless. Watering the plant, as small an act as it was, connected me to a central part of my old identity and taught me I could still be a caregiver. Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery (手术). Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny. Both the tree and I became healthier. Then, without any reason, it began to show signs of stress. Its leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. “I can’t even care for a simple plant!” I yelled. “If my lucky bamboo dies, I might die too!” I couldn’t shake the feeling that the plant had become a symbol (象征) of my health. Now that the plant was struggling, I grew increasingly depressed and fearful. However, recalling what I’d experienced, I learnt that I had wrongly connected my care for the plant — something over which I had at least some control — with my own survival — something over which I had no control. As I realized the fact, my anxiety was actually eased. I searched online to figure out how to take care of my plant. When it was back in the sunny window, we both became healthier again. Now, whenever I look at the plant, I would think of Mitch and the other people who have cared for and supported me. 44．The author decided to keep the bamboo because________. A．he loved to keep houseplants B．he believed it helped to clean the air C．he thought it was a good way to get relaxed D．he wanted to be surrounded by something cheerful 45．How did the author feel about looking after the bamboo at first? A．It made him feel hopeless. B．It put an end to his suffering. C．It gave him a sense of achievement. D．It reminded him of his poor health condition. 46．Why did the author become fearful when the bamboo showed signs of stress? A．Because he couldn’t bear failures. B．Because he didn’t know why it was dying C．Because he didn’t want to disappoint Mitch. D．Because he related his own health to the plant’s. 47．How did the author finally relieve his tension? A．By believing in his recovery in the end B．By accepting things beyond his control. C．By thinking of those who supported him. D．By searching for plant knowledge online. C Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo. While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions (同伴) than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to tell when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more properly to the user. The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant (助理). You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding (提醒) an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos. Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces. Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to help customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products’ location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations (推荐) for different items based on what the customer is shopping for. The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal. 第 5页 共 5页 48. How are social robots different from household robots? A. They have their feelings. B. They are more like humans. C. They do the normal housework. D. They respond to users more slowly. 49. What can Oshbot work as? A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide. C. A private nurse. D. A shop assistant. 50. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will . A. train employees B. improve technologies C. be our workmates D. take the place of workers 51. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. An introduction to social robots. B. Marketing methods for social robots. C. Information on household robots. D. A new design idea of household robots. 第四部分 书面表达 第一节 阅读表达 本部分共 4小题，其中 52-53小题 3分，54小题 2分，55小题 5分，共 13分。阅读下面短文 和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，完成对该问题的回答。请在答题纸指定区域作答。 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，完成对该问题的回答。 If you enjoy walking for exercise, there’s a simple way to meet your demand—change your walk into a ruck, and it’s an increasingly popular form of exercise. Rucking is walking with weight on your back. The term “rucking” comes from ruck marching, a core skill used by the military around the world. One of the tests the army normally gives to soldiers is a 12-mile ruck, which they must complete within three hours while carrying a weight of at least 35 pounds. The reason why rucking is growing in popularity is that it’s an easy and all-body exercise. One study in 2019 showed that 10 weeks of weighted walking improved physical performance. Since rucking is usually performed outdoors, there is no doubt that it’s also good for your mental health. Lots of studies suggest that the mental health benefits of being in a natural environment are huge. There are several tips for your rucking when you get started. First, don’t be too eager. As with any new exercise, you’ll need to begin slowly. Start with an empty backpack (背包) and walk a distance you’ve already done. When you start adding weight to your pack, try something low, like 10% of your body weight. Adding weight is going to put more stress on your ankles, knees, hips and back, so do it gradually. Another option is to start with a weighted vest (背心) instead of a backpack. This spreads the weight between your front and back. And of course, don’t forget your feet. Select a comfortable pair of shoes to prevent getting hurt. 52. What is rucking? (no more than 6 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 53.
