In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.‎ Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.‎ He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.‎ Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.‎ By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.‎ The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved. ‎ Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm if it had not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.‎ When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.‎ ‎4. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?‎ A. He got lost. B. He broke his skis.‎ C. He hurt his eyes. D. He caught a cold.‎ ‎5. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?‎ A. He found a shelter. B. He lighted some branches.‎ C. He kept on skiing. D. He built a snow cave.‎ ‎6. On Tuesday, Nicholas _________.‎ A. returned to his shelter safely B. was saved by a searcher C. got stuck in the snow D. stayed where he was ‎7. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ___________.‎ A. did the right things in the dangerous situation B. watched Grylls’ TV program regularly C. created some tips for survival D. was very hard-working C When a leafy plant is under attack,it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, ‎ Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.‎ Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked.‎ It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening？Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.‎ Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned . The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.‎ In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors.‎ The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do. ‎ Does this mean that plants talk to each other？ Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.‎ Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.‎ ‎8. What does a plant do when it is under attack？‎ A. It makes noises.  B. It gets help from other plants.‎ C. It stands quietly  D. It sends out certain chemicals.‎ ‎9. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3？‎ A. The attackers get attacked. B. The insects gather under the table.‎ C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.‎ ‎10. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .‎ A. predict natural disasters  B. protect themselves against insects C. talk to one another intentionally  D. help their neighbors when necessary ‎11. What can we infer from the last paragraph？‎ A. The word is changing faster than ever.‎ B. People have stronger senses than before.‎ C. The world is more complex than it seems.‎ D. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.‎ D A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.‎ Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.‎ The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.‎ ‎ Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.‎ Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.‎ ‎ While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.‎ Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.‎ Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.‎ ‎12. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.‎ ‎ A. started sleep more easily B. were more anxious ‎ C. were less active D. woke up later ‎13. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?‎ A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times.‎ B. It can make people more energetic.‎ C. It exists in milk in great amount.‎ D. It’s used in sleeping drugs.‎ ‎14. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Night Milk and Sleep B. Fat, Sugar and Health ‎ C. An Experiment on Mice D. Milk Drinking and Health ‎15. How does the author support the theme of the text?‎ ‎ A. By giving examples. B. By stating arguments.‎ ‎ C. By explaining statistical data. D. By providing research results.‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning ,and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 16   ‎ Here is how to make one.‎ ‎●     17      In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.‎ ‎●Rethink mornings.
