Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a student from Jiangsu, China. I saw the ads on your website and would like to sign up as a part-time bird watcher for your program.
I am living near a lake, where lots of migrant birds spend the winter. I have been fascinated with birds since I was a little kid and I can identify at least thirty kinds of birds. I have a telescope and a camera with telephoto lens, with which I watch and photograph birds.
I would be happy to join your program and do my part in protecting those beautiful species.
Yours,

One possible version:
I was both excited and nervous about this new challenge. Ten chin-ups seemed like a significant leap from where I had started, but the belief my trainer had in me fueled my determination, I accepted the challenge and got to work. Every morning, I pushed myself harder than before. The numbers slowly climbed: three, four, five and then seven chin-ups. It was challenging, but I remembered the lesson that I had learned; The most difficult tasks can be achieved through consistent effort and belief in oneself.
Finally, one morning, it happened. I pulled myself up to the bar and completed ten consecutive chin-ups. I couldn't contain my excitement and joy. I felt a profound sense of accomplishment. I achieved my goal through persistence. I had made it a reality. As I continue my fitness journey, I carry this lesson with me: No matter how tough the obstacle may seem, the belief and persistence can help me overcome it. It's not just about physical strength but also about mental courage and the power of setting and achieving goals.2023 年下期高二期末质量检测 英语试题卷

A drought is a period of time when an area or region experiences below-normal rainfall.

Droughts are the second-most costly weather events after hurricanes.
高二英语试题卷 第 3 页（共 8 页）

The end of a drought is hard to identify for the same reason. A drought may last for weeks, months, or even years. sometimes, drought conditions can exist for ten years or more in a region. The longer a drought lasts, the greater the harmful effects it has on people.
Droughts affect people in several ways. clean drinking water is significant for all life, and sources of water may narrow during a drought. without the presence of water, people must bring in enough water from elsewhere to survive. water is also needed for crops to grow. when not enough rainfalls to naturally water crops, they must be watered by irrigation(灌溉). Irrigation is possible only when there is enough water in nearby rivers, lakes, or streams, or from groundwater. During a drought, these water sources are diminished and may even dry up, preventing crops from being irrigated and causing them to die off.
one person studying these problems is Alexandra cousteau, a National Geographic Emerging Explorer whose latest plan is Blue Legacy. she started Blue Legacy to raise awareness that we live on a water planet and must take care of it. cousteau, the granddaughter of the well-known ocean explorer Jacques cousteau, believes that water will be a key issue in this century. she predicts that water problems such as drought, storms, floods, and degraded water quality will create “water refugees”, people moving in search of water. cousteau stresses that we must do all we can to protect Earth ,s valuable freshwater resources.
24 . what is the function of the first paragraph
A. To introduce what a drought is. B. To compare droughts with hurricanes.
c. To explain why a drought occurs. D. To raise awareness of some disasters.
25 . Among all disasters, what is special about droughts
A. They cause the greatest harms. B. They are hard to identify in no time.
c. They usually end for no reason. D. They influence people ,s living.
26 . what does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. crops cannot grow without water.
B. Irrigation is impossible during a drought.
c. Droughts influence living and agriculture.
D. There are many ways to prevent droughts.
27 . why is “water refugees ”mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To popularize Blue Legacy.
B. To tell we live on a water planet.
c. To persuade people to look for water.
D. To stress the importance of water resource.

The study involved five volunteer patients who were being treated for epilepsy (癞痴). The individuals had the ability to speak and already had electrodes (电极) set in their brains. The volunteers were asked to read several hundred sentences aloud while the researchers recorded their brain activity.

Edward Chang is a professor of the university，s weill Institute. He was a lead researcher on the project. Chang admitted that much more research of the system would be needed to reach the goal of perfectly reproducing spoken language.

About six months ago, I joined a gym. Every morning, there was one personal trainer who worked out. He did his routine with such a quiet determination that he made it all look very easy. when I wanted to quit, I watched him push himself to his own limits, and I found myself motivated to work hard.
several weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups (引体向上) effortlessly. I asked him if I could try a chin-up. I had never tried before. He eagerly stepped aside and encouraged me to step up to the bar. I pulled myself up without thinking. once...then twice. I had no strength left. I told him that was all I had, so he stepped up behind me and pushed me up for a third and a fourth pull. It felt so good and I smiled from ear to ear.
The next day when I was done with my workout, I asked him to spot me again. Again, I did two. Again on day three and so on. I thought it was pitiful that I could only do two, but he said he was impressed with my chin-ups, explaining that most people couldn，t do them at all. He further told me that if I practiced every day, I would be doing five or six in no time.
I just jumped in and gave it a try. A few months had passed since that memorable day at the gym. I continued to work on my chin-ups, slowly but steadily. with each passing week, I could feel my strength increasing and my determination growing.
one day, as I approached the chin-up bar, my trainer noticed the determination in my eyes. He smiled and said, “You know, you，ve come a long way in such a short time. I believe it，s time to set a new goal for yourself. ”I asked, “what do you have in mind ” He replied, “How about aiming for ten consecutive(连续不断的) chin-ups I have no doubt that you can achieve it with your insistence. ”
注意：①续写词数应为 150 左右；②请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
