Dear Jim,
Knowing that you are studying Chinese, I am more than pleased to invite you to join our optional course related to Tang Poetry.
As scheduled, we start at 10 a. m. every Saturday in our school library lounge. The topic will be Tang Poetry covering a wide range of themes, which can further enhance your understanding of Chinese literature. To fully prepare for the course, you had better go through the materials attached to this email. Also, please remember to read the history of Tang Dynasty, which would be helpful to understand the background of the poems.
I’d appreciate it if you could accept my invitation and have fun.
Yours,

Suddenly, the weather took an abrupt turn. Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and it began to rain cats and dogs/a heavy downpour ensued. The comforting forest sounds quickly proved a terrifying symphony(交响曲) of thunder and wind. The trail that was once so clear became a muddy mess, making it impossible to go on. We tried to consult our map, but it was too late; we got lost in the wildness. Hours passing, our attempts to find the trail turned out to be in vain. With the cold creeping in, despair started to set in.
Just when we were about to give up, a faint light shone in the distance. Curiosity overpowered our fear, and we decided to follow it. When we drew nearer, we saw a small log cabin, lights shining from its windows. Knocking on the door, an elderly woman, Mrs. Evans, welcomed us with a warm smile. She was a retired ranger（护林人） who had chosen to live her twilight years（暮年） in the heart of the mountains. She offered us shelter for the night, and the next morning, guided us back to the main trail. This incident strengthened our friendship and taught us the importance of resilience and hope. The experience was beyond expectation, terrifying, but enlightening all the same.丰城市第九中学2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试卷

For those who are deaf or have hearing loss, making and enjoying music can be a challenge. However, that hasn’t stopped Dame Evelyn Glennie from achieving success.
Scottish-born Dame Evelyn Glennie is one of the world’s most recognized percussionists (打击乐器乐手). However, she started going deaf at the age of eight due to a nerve disease. At 12, she totally lost her hearing.
At first, Glennie was desperate. But her percussion teacher at school taught her to feel particular notes. For example, she had to place her hands on a wall, and he would play two notes on two timpani. He would then ask her which was the higher note and where she felt the vibration. Through trials and errors, she managed to distinguish the pitch of notes by associating where on her body she feels the sound. Thanks to her perfect pitch and the fact that she performs barefoot, Evelyn “hears” the sound. Together with her lip-reading skills, and amazing musicianship, she has conquered any troubles and inconvenience caused by her impairment.
Till now, Glennie has performed with almost all the major orchestras (管弦乐队) globally. Besides classical music, she is famous for partnerships with pop and rock artists like Sting and Bjork. Glennie’s works has earned her over 100 music awards, including two Grammys. She even led 1,000 drummers in the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
At the age of 58 this year, Glennie’s mission now is to “teach the world to listen” to improve communication by encouraging everyone to discover a new way of listening. “It’s important to grab on to any opportunity that comes your way, but you also need to create your own opportunities,” says Evelyn. “It’s a personal time to reflect on the impact you might have on other people as well. I don’t know if age plays a part in it, because I feel as though I haven’t really achieved very much and there’s still so much to do!”
24. How could Glennie identify different notes as a deaf person
A. By reading her teacher’s lips. B. By putting her hands on a wall.
C. By applying her amazing musicianship. D. By feeling the vibration through her body.
25. What does the underlined word “impairment” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Sorrow. B. Mismatch. C. Abnormality. D. Fear.
26. Which of the following best describes Glennie’s character
A. faithful and tolerant B. cheerful and practical
C. determined and kind D. considerate and dutiful
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A A Dream Pursued by Evelyn Glennie B. A Deaf Musician Heard by the World
C. Evelyn Glennie: Teach the World to Listen D. Talented Percussionist: Say “No” to Age
C
Last year, 138,000 San Francisco residents used Airbnb, a popular app designed to connect home renters and travelers. It’s a striking number for a city with a population of about 850,000, and it was enough for Airbnb to win a major victory in local elections, as San Francisco voters struck down (否决) a debatable rule that would have placed time restrictions and other regulations on short-term rental services.
The company of Airbnb fiercely opposed the rule, Proposition F. It also contacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them to vote against Proposition F.
Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app. The service works for one-night stays on road trips and longer stays in cities, and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels. It’s a textbook example of the “sharing economy”, but not everyone is a fan.
The app has had unintended consequences in San Francisco. As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year, a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the company’s image. Middle-class families rent a spare room out to help make ends meet. Backers of Proposition F argued that this trend takes spaces off the conventional (传统的), better-regulated (监管更好的) housing market and contributes to rising costs.
San Francisco is in the middle of a long-term, deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of living explode. Located on a narrow land overlooking the bay, San Francisco simply doesn’t have enough space to accommodate the massive inflow of young, high-salaried tech employees flocking to Silicon Valley. Consequently, the average monthly rent for an apartment is around $4,000.
As the Los Angeles Times reported, some San Francisco residents supported the rule simply because it seemed like a way to check a big corporation. Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runs much deeper, and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve the city’s existing problems.
28. The intention of Proposition F is to ______.
A. place time limits in local election B. set limits on short-term rental
C. strike down a debatable rule D. urge users to vote against Airbnb
29. What negative effect does Airbnb have on San Francisco
A. It reduces the living space of middle-class families.
B. Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.
C. It helps regulate the house market effectively.
D. It indirectly leads to high house rental price.
30. What causes the housing crisis in San Francisco
A. Explosion of the living cost. B. Its historic characteristics.
C. Inflow of migrant population. D. Development of local economy.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward Proposition F
A. Objective. B. Optimistic C. Subjective. D. Indifferent.
D
Different ways have been applied to dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some people put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising companies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With great efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.
32．Why was the Green Newspaper invented
A．To get newspapers cheaper. B．To make the most of waste paper.
C．To improve the printing. D．To advertise the publishing company.
33．What can be learned about the “Green Newspaper”
A．It uses high-tech materials. B．It provides energy for seeds.
C．It’s printed with plant-based ink. D．It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
34．What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey
A．It’s easier said than done. B．Everything comes to one who waits.
C．Many hands make light work. D．Actions speak louder than words.
35．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The Internet has changed the way people read news totally.
B．About 95 million trees are lost for producing green newspapers.
C．The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership.
D．The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment.

Nature, while beautiful, could also be unpredictable and merciless. But most importantly we bear in mind that in the darkest times, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, just like Mrs. Evans‘ cabin light.
One bright summer day, my friend Peter and I decided to venture into the unexplored trails of the Great Smoky Mountains. Blessed with rich biodiversity and fascinating landscapes, the national park seemed a perfect getaway. Little did we know that our casual hike would soon turn into an unexpected personal incident, forever engraved in our memories.
We set off early in the morning, equipped with our backpacks and a map that was supposed to guide us through the winding trails. The sun was up, casting long shadows on the forest floor as we set off on our journey. We trekked (艰难行走), laughed, and marveled at the beauty of nature around us.
As we trekked through the dense forests, taking in the natural wonders around us, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of adventure coursing through our veins. The trail was rugged (崎岖的) and uneven, but we persevered through the challenging landscape.
Midway through our expedition, we stumbled upon (偶然遇见) a breathtaking waterfall, its glistening waters cascading down the rocks in a quiet and peaceful melody. We sat down by the water’s edge, taking a moment to get lost in the beauty of nature. The cool mist from the waterfall enveloped us, and we felt refreshed and energetic.
As the day wore on, we ventured deeper into the wilderness, eager to explore every corner of this natural paradise. We were so absorbed in the beauty of nature that just didn't notice our way and it seemed that we could not find the way back to the familiar part of the forest. Panicking, we scrambled (攀爬) to find our way back but the dense vegetation and winding trails only served to confuse us further. We tried to remember any possible signs that might lead us back, No sooner had we celebrated our return to the clear trails than something worse happened.
