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 (干細胞) 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 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’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.

1. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?

A. provider B. collector

C. delivery man D. medical doctor

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆黑龍江哈爾濱師范大學附中高三上期中考試英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

There is a famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

This was an age before telephones. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a little piece.

This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phone.

The most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cell phone’s interruption of our thoughts.

We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cell phones, and this is by and large (大體上) a healthy, protective development. “I didn’t hear it ring” or “I didn’t realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.

The notion of being unreachable is not a new concept—we have “Do Not Disturb” sign on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?

Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cell phone devotees（信徒）, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse(咒罵) the day they were invented.

But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. All that’s required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it. In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt (輕視)for the rings of our own phones.

A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us，though the call on my cell phone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg—who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.

1. What is the point of the anecdote about the poet Coleridge in the first three paragraphs?

A. To emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cell phone.

B. To encourage readers to read the works of this poet.

C. To show how important inspiration is to a poet.

D. To direct readers’ attention to the main topic.

2. What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cell phones?

A. It is a way of signaling that you don’t like the caller.

B. It is basically a good way to protect one’s privacy.

C. We should feel guilty when we can’t tell the truth.

D. It is natural to tell lies about small things.

3. According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cell phones?

A. Cell phones interrupt people’s private time.

B. With cell phones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.

C. People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cell phones.

D. People get so obsessed with the cell phone rings that they fail to notice anything else.

4. What does the last paragraph imply?

A. Never let cell phones disturb your life too much.

B. A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.

C. Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.

D. You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cell phone.

A funny thing happened between China’s first female Nobel Prize winner, Tu Youyou, giving her acceptance speech in Sweden and that speech reaching her home country: Two entirely different versions appeared, and the fake one became a viral hit.

Guess which version is genuine? The one that matter-of-factly tells about the discovery of artemisinin(青蒿素), or the one with extreme literary style, complete with her father explaining the origin of her given name and poetic lines such as, “I like tranquility(寧靜), tranquil as the leaves of sweet wormwood(蒿草).”

Most readers were so touched by the literary version that they were left in tears. However, they just forgot that Tu is not a woman of letters, but one of science. It was totally made up by someone who obviously has great literary talent, but could not fathom the inner life of a scientist.

I don’t know who made up the Tu speech, or for what purpose. It does not strike me as funny. Fortunately, no mainstream media seemed to have been fooled. Yet the fake one has probably been shared more than the real one because it played to the Chinese stereotype(固定形式) of what such a speech should be.

China’s cyberspace(信息空間) is full of educational and uplifting quotes, and quite a lot of them are made up. There is a joke that says the United States’ spying network collected and examined all the Internet data in China and found that the Chinese are addicted to such chicken soup, including that from untrustworthy sources.

1.The reason why many readers were moved to tears by the fake speech is that ________.

A. it was based on Tu’s real life

B. it was written in literary style

C. the readers had passions for science

D. the readers knew about the origin of Tu’s given name

2.What does the underlined word “l(fā)etters” mean in the fourth paragraph?

A. Written messages addressed to a person or organization.

B. Characters in an alphabet that represent speech sounds.

C. Certificate or license.

D. Literary knowledge, ability, or learning

3.Why has the fake speech been shared more than the real one?

A. Because it was the Chinese stereotype.

B. Because many mainstream medias were fooled.

C. Because it was funny.

D. Because the writer understood the inner life of a scientist.

4.The purpose of the article is to _______________ .

A. prove that Chinese are addicted to fake news

B. prove that Chinese scientists have no literary talent

C. tell us there are a lot of fake news on the Internet

D. find out who made up the fake speech
