20182019學年第一學期期中考試高一英語試題答題時間：120分鐘 滿分：150分第一部分 閱讀理解第一節(jié) （共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分） 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項.AI work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful. I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(貓頭鷹) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2 to 3weekold owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick(雛鳥) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and fortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure，but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was acpanied in the nest by the greatest sight of allLUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.1How would the author feel about the oute of the event?AIts unexpected. BIts beautiful. CIts humorous. DIts discouraging.2What made the chick calm down?AA new nest. BSome food. CA recording. DIts parents.3What is unavoidable in the authors rescue work according to Paragraph 1?AEfforts made in vain. BGetting injured in his work.CFeeling uncertain about his future. DCreatures forced out of their homes.4Why was the author called to Muttontown?ATo rescue a woman. BTo take care of a woman.CTo look at a baby owl. DTo cure a young owl.BWhen a leafy plant is under attack，it doesnt 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 neighbouring plants can get. These chemicals e 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 pounds，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 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 bees lunch.In study after study，it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbours. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant，but the neighbours，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 branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbours 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 (親密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. Theres a whole lot going on.5What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in Paragraph 3?AThe attackers get attacked. BThe insects gather under the table.CThe plants get ready to fight back. DThe perfumes attract natural enemies.6What does a plant do when it is under attack? AIt makes noises. BIt gets help from other plants.CIt stands quietly. DIt sends out certain chemicals.7Scientists find from their studies that plants can _Apredict natural disasters Bprotect themselves against insectsCtalk to one another intentionally Dhelp their neighbours when necessary8What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe world is changing faster than ever. BPeople have stronger senses than before.CThe world is more plex than it seems.DPeople in Darwins time were more imaginative.CInspiring young minds!TOKNOW Magazine is a big hit in the world of childrens publishing, bringing a unique bination of challenging ideas and good fun to young fans every month.What is so special about TOKNOW Magazine?

No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(監(jiān)控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking peoples e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories. “The if it bleeds rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You dont want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.” Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth municatione-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversationsfound that it tended to be more positive than negative(消極的), but that didnt necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others. Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激發(fā)) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.” 13. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. Theyre socially inactive.B. Theyre good at telling stories.C. Theyre inconsiderate of others.D. Theyre careful with their words.14. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Bergers research?A . Sports new. B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.15 . What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sad Stories Travel Far and WideB .Online News Attracts More PeopleC. Reading Habits Change with the TimesD.
