10、, Hammad Safi has accomplished what most of us wont be able to do in a lifetime. 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
11、“child extraordinaire”, “motivational guru” and even “the little genius of Pakistan”.此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号 2“He is not an ordinary child. I have seen abilities in him. Thats why I have appointed special teachers for him,” Safis father, Abdul Rehman Khan, said, “I want him to become a special le
12、ader. Im very proud For his abilities, for his intelligence.”Abduls description may seem exaggerated (夸张的) he is Hammads 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
13、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 lifeI was thinking about suicide, because th
14、ere 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 cant 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 b
15、y Hammads 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.4Which statement about Hammad Safi is not correct?AHe is much younger than his audience.BHe is the youngest motivational speaker in th

Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and I
19、an 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 organi
20、c compounds, VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .Its a plants 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 doubl
21、e 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
22、 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 dont know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branche
23、s, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasnt 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
24、 see and hear. Our senses are weak. Theres a whole lot going on.8What does a plant do when it is under attack?3AIt makes noises. BIt gets help from other plants.CIt stands quietly DIt sends out certain chemicals.9What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?AThe attackers get

These trees, with their str
27、angely-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 s
28、ay 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,
29、 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 bristlecones distant relative and competitor. It can also live a long timeup to
30、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 Californias White Mountains, most of the trees growing at higher altitudes were limber pines.Scie
31、ntists 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 the
32、y 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.12Whats the function of Paragraph 1?ATo introd
33、uce a topic. BTo summarize the whole passage.CTo describe the appearance of a tree. DTo praise the hard work of the experts.13What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?AThere will be older trees sent out of those mountains.BThere will be more places covered with bristlecone pines.CThere
34、will be better limber pines replacing the ancient ones.DThere will be fewer bristlecone pines growing in those areas.14According to the passage, the reason why limber pines can grow at higher altitudes is_.Athe high winds Bthe difficult conditionsCthe changing climate Dthe extreme temperatures15What

DIndifferent.二、七选五While many people are physically active in high school, there are always many things for teens to compromise their healthy lifestyle.164Get plenty of rest. With homework and
36、 social commitments, teens in high school have a tendency to stay up late and rise early.17Then go to sleep early enough, turn off the television or radio and unplug the phone to prevent your sleep from being disturbed.18Teens are well-known for living on a diet of junk food and soda. Drink plenty o
37、f water and eat whole grains and vegetables daily. If you mainly eat nutritious foods, the occasional fast food hamburger or late night pizza wont hurt you.Say no to cigarettes and alcohol. Lifelong habits start during high school years, so make sure the habits you are forming are good ones. Getting
38、 hooked on cigarettes and alcohol at a young age can lead to an adulthood spent battling addictive habits. 19Exercise regularly. Physical activity helps build a strong body and mind. Teens who exercise throughout high school benefit from a healthy body and a mind that is more at ease with less stres
