英 语 试 卷

A
There was once a jar of fresh， clean water. Every drop of water in the jar felt immensely proud of being so clear and pure. Day after day they would congratulate each other on how clean and beautiful they were. That was, until one day when one of the drops got bored with his ultra—clean existence. He wanted to try what it was like being a dirty drop。
The other drops tried to talk him out of it, but he stuck to his guns。 Hardly realizing, when the drop came back all dirty, he turned all the other drops in the jar into dirty drops， too。
They tried to get clean again， but couldn't. They tried everything to shake off the dirtiness。 Finally, much later， someone dipped the jar in a fountain， and only when a lot of clean water entered the jar， did the drops regain their old transparency and purity. Now they all know that if they all want to be nice clean drops, then each and every one of them has to stay clean， even if they find it difficult。 That drop that succeeded in being dirty has realized that correcting the mistake of one single drop needs a lot of work for everyone else。
The same happens with us and our friends. If we want to live in a jar of clean water， each one of us will have to be a clean drop。 None of us should try being the dirty

I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell 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 flights 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 that in that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life。

A schoolgirl saved her father’s life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(过敏的） reaction which stopped his heart .
Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm’s heart by stamping(踩)on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.
Izzy's mother， Debbie， immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father， so decided to use CPR.
However， she quickly discovered her arms weren’t strong enough, so she stamped on her father’s chest instead。
Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions（按压） until the ambulance arrived 。
Izzy， who has been given a bravery award by her school， said：“I just kicked him really hard。 My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn’t strong enough to use hands .I was quite scared .The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse。 My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest。\"
“She’s a little star,” said Debbie， “I was really upset but Izzy just took over. I just can't believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up。 Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we've got to see an expert。”
Truck driver Colm， 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital， but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day. The second attack was so serious that his airway swelled, preventing him from breathing, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment. He has now made a full recovery from his suffering。

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.

辽宁省阜新二高2017-2018学年高二英语上学期期末考试试题
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。
12. What does a plant do when it is under attack?
A。 It gets help from other plants. B。 It makes noises. C。 It sends out certain chemicals。 D。 It stands quietly.

13。 What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3? A。 The insects gather under the table. B. The attackers get attacked。 C. The perfumes attract natural enemies. D. The plants get ready to fight back。 14。 Scientists find from their studies that plants can 。 A。 protect themselves against insects B。 predict natural disasters C. help their neighbors when necessary D. talk to one another intentionally 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph？ A。 People have stronger senses than before。 B。 The word is changing faster than ever。 C。 People in Darwin’s time were imaginative。 D。 The world is more complex than it seems。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

by her every day, especially this year when I am in Senior Three。 She often cooks delicious dishes for me and helps me clean up my room. What’s more, she even accompanies me deep into the night every time I am doing my homework。 Most important of all, whenever I get upset or lose heart， she will comfort me and encourage me until I have cheered up。 I appreciate her motto “ Heaven will always leave a door open。 As long as you work hard, you will definitely succeed.”
