Dear fellow students,
I feel it is a great honour on behalf of the students of our school to deliver a speech themed“My Eyes on Chinese Poetry”. Chinese poetry ，with its root in ancient times ,is known for its conciseness, depth and the beauty of its language,which conveys complex emotions through a few words,giving us vivid images.
To fully appreciate Chinese poetry, it is essential to immerse yourself in its abundant imaginary and symbolism.Moreover, pay attention to the use of natural elements as they often carry deeper meanings. What’s more,understanding the background of the poems can greatly enhance your appreciation.It is my personal experience of learning Chinese poetry that has deeply moved me,showing me the importance of self refreshing and the simple beauty of nature.
I do hope this could encourage you to dig into the rich culture of Chinese poetry.And I'm sure you will find much to admire and learn from it.
Thanks for your listening!

I didn’t know whether to stay or not. The thought of exploring new places, and creating lasting memories with my family was undeniably inviting. However, it was obviously too challenging for me to step onto that glass. As I weighed the options in my mind, my mother’s words echoed in my ears, reminding me of the courage and confidence I used to have. With a deep breath, I made up my mind that I would seize this opportunity and embrace the adventure that awaited me in Marco.
I was totally struck by the height of the tower. My eyes were immediately drawn to the magnificent structure that stood tall in the city center—Marco Tower. Its charm was without equal, its soaring height dominating the skyline. I couldn’t help feeling a mixture of awe and admiration. I reminded myself of the encouragement from my loved ones. As we left the tower, I expressed my gratitude to my mother for her consistent support. She taught me an important lesson that day—with a little encouragement, we can achieve extraordinary things.2023-2024学年第二学期高二年段期末六校联考

Of the tens of thousands of ships on the ocean bottom, only a handful, less than 1 percent, contain
negotiable treasure, such as gold and jewels. Most give us a different priceless treasure -- history. A
sunken ship lies in trust, preserved in the airless environment of the sea and those in deep water are
especially well protected.A sunken ship,therefore, can be a rare window through which a moment in time
is glimpsed.
The wreck of HMS Endurance, which has finally been located
deep beneath the icy seas of Antarctica after being lost 110 years ago,
was arguably the most valuable shipwreck ever sought. That’s because
its discovery adds another thrilling new chapter to an already
fascinating tale of perseverance and survival that has echoed down the
decades and still inspires today.
Incredibly well preserved at a depth of almost two miles, the ship is little changed from the day in
November 1914 when it finally sank beneath the ice. Endurance became embedded in ice while crossing
Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. The video shot by underwater search vehicles shows painted timbers, an
undamaged guardrail（护栏），with the name “Endurance” written above the five-pointed symbol of a
polar star.
“I tell you, you would have to be made of stone not to feel a bit soft at the sight of that star and the
name above,” Mensun Bound, the mission’s marine archaeologist, told the BBC. “You can see a porthole
（舷窗）that is in Shackleton’s cabin. At that moment, you really do feel the breath of the great man upon
the back of your neck.” Shackleton’s leadership was crucial to getting his men out alive. The reason why
Shackleton is still applauded as a great man becomes obvious when you consider what he achieved in the
face of disasters and hardships during his 1914-16 expedition. The practicality and humanity he showed
in the face of severe situations was arguably praised.

24.What makes Endurance the most valuable shipwreck
A.The treasure aboard. B. Its undamaged guardrail.
C. Its inspiring stories. D. The symbol of a polar star.
25.What can we know about Endurance when it is discovered
A．It is badly damaged at a depth of almost two miles.
B．It becomes fixed firmly and deeply beneath the icy seas
C．It is beyond recognition from the day when it finally sank
D．Its name above the five-pointed symbol of a polar star is gone.

According to a new Agriculture Department report, U. S. forests could exacerbate global warming
because they are being destroyed by natural disasters and are losing their ability to absorb
planet-warming gases as they get older. The report predicts that the ability of forests to absorb carbon will
start declining after 2025 and that forests could release up to 100 million metric tons of carbon a year as
their emissions (排放) from decaying (腐烂的) trees go beyond their carbon absorption. Forests could
become a “substantial carbon source” by 2070, the USDA report says.
The loss of carbon absorption is driven in part by natural disasters such as wildfires, tornadoes and
hurricanes, which are increasing in frequency and strength as global temperatures rise. The disasters
destroy forestland, destroying their ecosystem and decreasing their ability to absorb carbon, according to
Lynn Riley, a senior manager of climate science at the American Forest Foundation. Aging forests also
contribute. The report found that older, mature trees absorb less carbon than younger trees of the same
species, and U. S. forests are rapidly aging.
This trend is likely to continue, as forests come under increasing threat from climate change and
exploitation (开采 ). The typical tropical (热带的 ) forest may become a carbon source by the 2060s,
according to Simon Lewis, professor in the school of geography at Leeds University. “Humans have been
lucky so far, as tropical forests are cleaning up lots of our pollution, but they can’t keep doing that
indefinitely,” he said. “We need to cut down fossil fuel emissions before the global carbon cycle starts
working against us.”
U. S. forests currently absorb 11 percent of U. S. carbon emissions, or 150 million metric tons of
carbon a year, equal to the combined emissions from 40 coal power plants, according to the report. The
loss of forests as natural carbon absorbers will require the U. S. to cut emissions more rapidly to reach net
5
{#{QQABDYAEogiIAJAAAAgCQQ06CkKQkAGAAYgOhFAMsAAAgBFABAA=}#}
zero. “As we work to decarbonize (碳减排), forests are one of the greatest tools at our handling. If we
were to lose that, it means we will contribute that much more in emissions.” Riley said.
28．What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Relieve. B．Worsen. C．Address. D．Measure.
29．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The key role of forests in the ecosystem.
B．The consequences of frequent natural disasters.
C．The impact of rising global temperatures on forests
D．The reasons for forests’ declining ability to absorb carbon.
30．What does Simon Lew is suggest
A．Reducing fossil fuel emissions. B．Dealing with decaying trees in time.
C．Planting younger trees on a large scale. D．Limiting the exploitation of forest resources.
31．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A．To stress the significance of forests.
B．To offer suggestions on forest management.
C．To present the efforts the U. S. has made to reach net zero.
D．To show the increasing carbon emissions from coal power plants.

The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel
in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary
treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes
before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room.
Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long
enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults，we face a version （版本）of the marshmallow test every day. We’ re not tempted (诱惑)
by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global
delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains
developed a response mechanism（机制） to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward
and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort
involved in obtaining（获取）calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and
this mismatch（不匹配） is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist（抵抗） tempting foods
that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative（有重大影响的）
6
{#{QQABDYAEogiIAJAAAAgCQQ06CkKQkAGAAYgOhFAMsAAAgBFABAA=}#}
environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized
（ 高 度 重 视 ） new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information
environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need
to be more thoughtful （深思熟虑的）about our caloric consumption（热量消耗）, we also need to be
more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in
order to manage our time most effectively.
32.What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test
A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers.
C. Share their treats with others. D.Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
33. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ___________.
A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
34.What does the author suggest readers do
A. Absorb new information readily（欣然地）. B.Use diverse information sources.
C. Be selective information consumers. D. Protect the information environment.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D. The Marshmallow Test for Children.

My, what a big beak you have!
For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More air
conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defenses may help to make the effects of a warmer
world less harmful. ____36____ In a paper published in Trends & Evolution, a
team led by Sara Ryding, a PhD candidate at Deakin University, shows that is
already happening. Climate change is already changing the bodies of many
animal species: bigger beaks (喙), limbs and ears.
In some species of Australian parrot, for instance, beak size has increased by between 4% and 10%
since 1871. Another study, this time in North American dark-eyed juncos, another bird, found the same
pattern. ___37____
7
{#{QQABDYAEogiIAJAAAAgCQQ06CkKQkAGAAYgOhFAMsAAAgBFABAA=}#}
All that is perfectly consistent with evolutionary(进化）theory，“Allen’s rule”. Allen suggested it in
1877, holding that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger body parts than those in
temperate (温带的) regions. 38 Being richly filled with blood vessels(血管）, and not covered
by feathers, beaks make an ideal place for birds to get rid of heat.
Ms. Ryding examined museum specimens（标本）to prove that climate change was the cause of an
anatomical (解剖学的) changes. All sorts of other factors might have been driving the changes. Her team
combined data from different species in different places.They have little in common apart from living on
a warming planet. 39
For now, at least, the increase is small, never much more than 10%.____40____Since any evolutionary
adaptation comes with trade-offs (妥协), it is unclear how far the process might go.
A. Therefore,climate change is the most reasonable explanation.
B.That may change as warming accelerates(加速）.
C. Animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their behaviors.
D. It seems that the future world is going to be hotter than humans are used to.
E. Therefore, the negative effects of a warmer world are visible in these animals’ bodies.
F. Such adaptations boost an animal’s surface area relative to its body, helping it to release extra heat.
G. Similar trends are seen in mammals, with species of mice and bats evolving bigger ears, legs and
wings.

My mother has always been one of those rare people that sees the good in everyone and does good
things “just because”. Life hasn’t always been kind to her; she lost my oldest sister to leukemia（白血病）

She’s had her ups and downs but has always 41 a positive, sunny outlook on life and been
very 42 to people.
One day, my little sister fell and hurt her ankle, desperately needing a 43 to the hospital
emergency room. My mother immediately 44 into crisis mode, packed my sister into the car, and

to the hospital, she realized she needed to 46 with
my father immediately.
While waiting for my sister to be examined, my mother

in, called my father and told him everything. After she hung up, the phone 48 several additional
coins that Mom wasn’t owed.
Realizing that the phone was 49 , my mother decided to leave the 50 coins by the
phone. She told us that in a crisis, people might not remember to bring 51 with them to make
that emergency call.
I’ve often thought about her 52 from an adult’s perspective. I realize that someone seeing
the money by he phone may have 53 taken it because not everyone was as 54 as my
mother. But I like to believe that my mother’s faith was 55 and that someone who needed them
found the coins waiting there.

It had been a challenging but rewarding term, filled with hard work and a thirst for
knowledge. As I handed in my final assignment and saw it was graded A, a sense of pride and
satisfaction washed over me. Little did I know that my accomplishments had not gone unnoticed
by my families, who had been closely observing my progress.
At the first day of summer vacation, my mother told me excitedly that we would pay a visit
to Marco the next day to cheer for my progress in academic study. When I got the good news, I
felt on top of the world and could not hold back my high spirits. As I lay in bed that night, a mix
of anticipation and delight welled up in my heart, and I slid into a dream-filled sleep, eagerly
awaiting the arrival of the coming adventure.
After we arrived in Marco, my parents said that we would first visit the Marco tower.
Marco Tower, built in the late 19th century, is a historic landmark that showcases the rich
architectural heritage of the city. It is also considered one of the top tourist attractions in the
region. Upon hearing the inspiring news, I bounced up and down with joy. But then I felt a bit
uneasy because of my fear of heights.
Inside the lift, my palms grew sweaty as the anxiety consumed me. I paced back and forth
in the tower lift, unsure of whether I would have the courage. After the lift reached the specific
floor, I gasped (倒 吸 一 口 气 ) in horror. The floor here was made of glass, so one could
appreciate the height of the tower and take a real adventure. Seeing my family both take out their
phones to shoot the grand views, I felt under pressure. Then my mother smiled at me and said
delightedly, “Just take it easy and you can do it.”
