Ye Jiaying, also known as “Poetry’s Daughter”, passed away on November 24, 2024, at the age of 100. Ye was famous for creating, studying and teaching the beautiful art of Chinese poetry.
“In my view, studying classical Chinese poetry can help me feel deeply, imagine widely, and look far into the future,” Ye once said. “The study of poetry is not a goal that I go for, but strength that supports me when I meet difficulties,” she wrote at age 87.
Ye was born to a family of intellectuals(知識分子) in Beijing in 1924. She learned classical poetry and English from a young age. However, Ye’s life has much sadness. She lost her mother when she was only 17 years old, and her eldest daughter died when Ye reached middle age. But she never gave up.

At 92, she picked 218 ancient poems for kids and made videos to explain and read them. Even at 96, she gave talks at Nankai University, sitting in a wheelchair. Those who listened to her lectures said she made it easy to understand poetry and guided students to learn step by step.

① Even though the world has made great efforts to protect African elephants, many of them are still being killed for their ivory. At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 million elephants walked around Africa. But today, their numbers have fallen to around 450,000. This is mainly caused by illegal(非法的) hunting for ivory. Need for ivory in markets, especially in Asia and Africa, continues to push the illegal trade(貿易). This has resulted in the deaths of at least 20,000 African elephants each year.
② Ivory, also known as “white gold”, has long been regarded as precious. Because of its unusual look, people often use it to make expensive things, such as jewellery, musical instruments and art. And the ivory material itself can stand the test of time. That’s why many people are willing to pay high prices for ivory products.
③ However, no matter how much real ivory is sold, it’s certainly not worth the harm to elephants. So some scientists are working hard on creating the same beauty of ivory with no killing.
④ Thaddaea Rath and her team at the University of Vienna have created the man-made ivory called “Digory”. It is made from synthetic resin(合成樹脂) and calcium phosphate particles(磷酸鈣顆粒). First, they use a 3D printer to make the shape. Then they color-match and stain(著色) it. Finally, they polish(拋光) it to make it look like real natural ivory. Although the chemical structure of Digory is completely different from that of the natural ivory, it looks so real that it is hard to tell the difference by eye.
⑤ Fritz Vollrath, a biologist from the UK, felt excited about the invention for the fact that Digory will save many elephants from risks. He said, “We hope that, by doing more research, Digory will soon be accepted and used worldwide. And I believe that technology like this will play an important role in wildlife protection.”
1. Why does the writer list some numbers in Paragraph 1
A. To present the number of elephants in Africa.
B. To introduce the ivory markets in Asia and Africa.
C. To explain the reasons for the illegal trade of ivory.
D. To show the dangerous situation of African elephants.
2. What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Modern. B. Valuable. C. Beautiful. D. Traditional.
3. What do we know about Digory from Paragraph 4
a. Why Digory is invented.
b. How Digory is created.
c. What Digory is made from.
d. Whether Digory looks real.
A. abc B. acd C. bcd D. abd
4. Which of the following does Fritz Vollrath agree with
A. Digory will save all the elephants from risks.
B. It’s hard for the world to accept man-made ivory.
C. It will take long to make Digory used worldwide.
D. Technology will support the protection of wildlife.
5. 新趨勢·篇章結構 Which is the RIGHT structure of the passage

Rainbows are created by light shining through water or clear objects. In nature, rainbows usually appear where rain and sunlight meet. Rainbows are beautiful tricks of light. Science, though, has unlocked their mysteries.
Where and When Rainbows Appear
Notice the weather the next time you see a rainbow. There will be rain or mist(薄霧) in front of you, and the sun will be shining from behind you. The rainbow will appear in the rain or mist. Water in the air and direct sunlight are the two things needed to see a rainbow in nature. A rainbow won’t appear if the sky is too cloudy.
The best time to see a rainbow is usually in the morning or late afternoon. That’s when the sun is in the best place to create one. If you’re lucky, you might see a double or even a triple rainbow.
You can sometimes see rainbows in the mist of a waterfall, too. A fountain(噴泉) can create a small rainbow, and a sprinkler(灑水器) on a sunny day may put on a colorful show. Rainbows can even form under the bright moon. These special rainbows are called moonbows.
To a viewer, a rainbow looks like a half circle. However, a rainbow actually forms a full circle. From the ground, most of the time, we can only see a rainbow’s top half. Sometimes though, lucky airline pilots may see a rainbow’s complete circle from the sky.
How Rainbows Form
René Descartes was a French scientist. He was born over four hundred years ago. He was attracted by rainbows and wanted to learn more about them. He used sunlight and a big ball filled with water to do experiments. Descartes discovered that to see a rainbow, the viewer must be looking at the light from the right angle(角度). To understand rainbows, it helps to understand how light travels. Light moves at different speeds through different mediums(介質). Think of running on land. Then imagine running in knee-deep water. You move slower in water. In the same way, light moves faster through air than through water. This happens because water is thicker than air. When light enters water, it slows and changes its original path(路線). This process makes objects, such as a pencil sitting in a glass of water seem to bend(彎曲).
We can see rainbows in nature when direct light meets drops of rain. Sunlight refracts(折射) as it enters each drop. The light then reflects, or bounces, off the inside of each drop, like light off a mirror. The light refracts again as it exits the drop. Light refracts and reflects in millions of water droplets in the sky at the same time. This process makes all the colors of a rainbow.
1. Which sentence below can best explain the underlined sentence “Rainbows are beautiful tricks of light.” in Paragraph 1
A. Rainbows are tricks made by many scientists.
B. Someone lied to us about the truth of rainbows.
C. Rainbows are made by some unknown magic tricks.
D. The light plays tricks on people’s eyes and makes rainbows.
2. In which of the following situations CAN’T a rainbow form
A. Over a sprinkler on a very cloudy day.
B. On a misty morning.
C. Over a fountain under the bright moon.
D. In the mist of a waterfall.
3. Which statement below is TRUE according to the article
A. A rainbow can be a complete circle as well as a half circle.
B. You need to stand at a right angle to see a rainbow.
C. Light can actually make a pencil bend in water.
D. Light moves faster in thicker mediums like water.
