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（芳香）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”(无意中听到) 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.‎ ‎1. 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.‎ ‎2. 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.‎ ‎3.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 ‎4. 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.‎ B ‎ I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips of those , 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.‎ I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady ‎ on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you---- there are no fights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient---please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me. re-routed(改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.‎ For this courier job, you’re consciously aware than that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.‎ ‎5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Para1?‎ A. provider B. delivery man C. collector D. medical doctor ‎6. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?‎ A. He cannot stay away from his job too long. ‎ B. The donor can only wait for that long. ‎ C. The operation needs that very much. ‎ D. The ice won't last any longer. ‎ ‎7. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?‎ A. To London B. To Newark C. To Providence D. To ‎Washington C ‎ Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.‎ What to Expect The host will provide accommodation(住宿) and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.‎ Meal Plans Available ‎♢ Continental Breakfast ‎♢ Breakfast and Dinner ‎♢ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal（谷物类食品），bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.‎ Friends If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy(隐私).‎ Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities(设施) and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.‎ ‎8. The passage is probably written for ________.‎ A. host willing to receive foreign students B. foreigners hoping to build British culture C. travellers planning to visit families in ‎London D. English learners applying（申请）to live in English homes ‎9. Which of the following will the host provide?‎ A. Room cleaning. B. Medical care. ‎ C. Free transport. D. Physical training.‎ ‎10. According to the passage，what does continental Breakfast include?‎ A. Dessert and coffee B. Fruit and vegetables.‎ C. bread and fruit juice D. Centre and cold meat.‎ ‎11. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?‎ A. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.‎ B. To enrich their knowledge of English C. To entertain friends as they like.‎ D. To enjoy much more freedom.‎ D Grandparents Answer a Call As a third-generation native of Brownsville‎, ‎Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and her son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.‎ No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult　children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents.com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.‎ ‎“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough, fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christiane Crosby, publisher of Graza magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”‎ Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling ,but giving up the life you know may be harder.‎ ‎12. Why was Garza’s move a success?‎ A. It improved her living conditions.‎ B. It strengthened her family ties.‎ C. It enabled her to make more friends.‎ D. It helped her know more places.‎ ‎13. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?‎ A. 17% expressed their support for it.‎ ‎ B. Few people responded sympathetically.‎ ‎ C. The majority suggested it was a trend.‎ ‎ D.83% believed it had a bad influence.‎ ‎14. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?‎ ‎ A. They were unsure of themselves.‎ ‎ B. They wanted to live away from their parents.‎ ‎ C. They were eager to raise more children.‎ ‎ D. They had little experiences for their grandparents.‎ ‎15. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.‎ ‎ B. Sacrifice for their struggling children.‎ ‎ C. Get to know themselves better.‎ D. Make the decisions in the best interest of their own.‎ 第二节 七选五（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。‎ There are many reasons for people to study abroad.

I really feel worried about you when I heard that you were addicted to net games. You used to do well in your lessons and took an active part in the activities at school. But now you are so crazy about net games that you have no interest ‎ in your schoolwork and don't listen to teachers as carefully as before in class. Also, you can't hand in your homework on time. Perhaps playing computer games can make you feel relaxed, but if you spend too much time on it, you will have less time to study. And it may do harm to your health. For example, it can hurt your eyes and neck. I hope you should achieve a balance between your schoolwork and your hobbies. Why not join in some outdoor activities when you feel bored? As your friend, I’ll be glad to share your happiness and sadness. ‎ ‎ Looking forward to your quick reply. ‎ ‎ Yours ‎ Li Hua ‎ ‎ ‎
