He is the youngest motivational speaker in Pakistan, and probably the world, a free writer, TV anchor and a lecturer at a university, where he teaches students twice his age. He has been referred to as a “super kid”, a “child extraordinaire”, “motivational guru” and even “the little genius of Pakistan”.‎ ‎“He is not an ordinary child. I have seen abilities in him. That’s why I have appointed special teachers for him,” Safi’s father, Abdul Rehman Khan, said, “I want him to become a special leader. I’m very proud… For his abilities, for his intelligence.”‎ ‎ Abdul’s description may seem exaggerated (夸张的）– he is Hammad’s father after all – but the boy is indeed capable beyond his years. How many 11-year-old children do you know that can command the attention of thousands of adults while speaking on serious topics like success, life challenges or responsibility? Hammad can, and he does it with ease, relying on his great charm, practiced hand gestures and a confidence that attracts his audiences greatly.‎ ‎“A few months ago I was really disappointed with life…I was thinking about suicide, because there are no jobs and no success in life,” a student said, “Then I saw a movie of Hammad Safi. I thought if an 11-year-old child can do anything, why can’t I?”‎ That is what makes Safi so special, his power to get his message across and inspire people much older than him.‎ Many in Pakistan are astonished by Hammad’s self-confidence and his ability to lecture on important subjects, but there are also those who believe that this role is depriving the boy of his childhood.‎ ‎4. Which statement about Hammad Safi is not correct? ‎ A. He is much younger than his audience.‎ B. He is the youngest motivational speaker in the world. ‎ C. People in Pakistan think highly of Hammad Safi.‎ D. His father is also proud of him very much.‎ ‎5. What can’t you learn from Hammad Safi’s speech?‎ A. We can realize the importance of responsibility.‎ B. We can get confidence to deal with life challenges.‎ C. We can remember the happy memory of childhood.‎ D. We can understand the relationship between confidence and success.‎ ‎6. What does the underlined word “depriving” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. To guarantee that something will happen.‎ B. To make somebody imagine.‎ C. To take away something by force.‎ D. To give up something all by oneself.‎ ‎7. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. It introduces a very famous speaker.‎ B. It tells that people in Pakistan are living without motivation.‎ C. It tells us how to give people confidence.‎ D. It introduces a young motivational speaker.‎ ‎ 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 neighbours 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 world 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 imaginative.‎ D The bristlecone pine is the longest-living thing on the earth. These trees, with their strangely-shaped, wind-beaten limbs(枝干), can live up to 5,000 years. But experts worry that a warming climate in some areas may threaten its future. ‎ Researchers say warmer weather is permitting a similar kind of tree, the limber pine, to take over good growing places from the ancient bristlecone. They say the tree is being crowded out of mountainous areas where it grows.‎ ‎“The bristlecone pine is the oldest individually growing organism,” researchers say. They grow in high mountain forests in eastern California, Nevada and Utah. In those mountains, the trees face high winds and extreme temperatures, which leave them with twisted limbs and shapes. “Even in such tough conditions,” Brian Smithers, a researcher at the University of California, said, “the limber pine is taking all the good spots.”‎ The limber pine is the bristlecone’s distant relative and competitor. It can also live a long time——up to 2,000 years. And it is usually found at lower altitudes, where temperatures are warmer. However, according to a three-year study which centered on trees that have started growing in the last 50 years in California’s White Mountains, most of the trees growing at higher altitudes were limber pines. ‎ Scientists compared the competing species to two o1d men in a very slow race up a mountainside. This race between such slow-growing trees takes thousands of years. They say climate change is causing the competition. ‎ Smithers said the bristlecone pines are not in danger of disappearing. But he assumes they could be crowded out of some places where they have grown for thousands of years. ‎ The researchers say the findings show how climate change can affect the two kinds of trees. The information, they say, can help scientists understand more complex forests. ‎ ‎12. What’s the function of Paragraph 1?‎ A. To introduce a topic. B. To summarize the whole passage. ‎ C. To describe the appearance of a tree. ‎ D. To praise the hard work of the experts. ‎ ‎13. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. There will be older trees sent out of those mountains. ‎ B. There will be more places covered with bristlecone pines. ‎ C. There will be better limber pines replacing the ancient ones. ‎ D. There will be fewer bristlecone pines growing in those areas. ‎ ‎14. According to the passage, the reason why limber pines can grow at higher altitudes is_________. ‎ A. the high winds B. the difficult conditions C. the changing climate D. the extreme temperatures ‎15. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the future of the bristlecone pine?‎ A. Positive. B. Concerned. C. Enthusiastic. D. Indifferent. ‎ 第二节（共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10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，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ While many people are physically active in high school, there are always many things for teens to compromise their healthy lifestyle. 16 ‎ Get plenty of rest.
