Beethoven began losing his hearing in his mid-20s, after already building a reputation as a musician and composer. The cause of his deafness remains a mystery, though modern analysis of his DNA revealed health issues including large amounts of lead in his system. At the time, people ate with lead plates—they just didn't know back then.
Continuing to compose and conduct, he changed lodgings（住处）constantly in Vienna, which could be due to Beethoven's neighbors' complaint about his pounding（反复击打）on his piano at all hours.
Beethoven even continued performing publicly as a musician, which was necessary for many composers of the age. That's how they got their pieces out, not just composing but performing. For the longest time he didn't want to disclose his deafness because he believed that it would ruin his career.
Once his hearing was fully gone by age 45, Beethoven retreated from public life. Giving up performing and public appearances, he allowed only select friends to visit him, communicating through written conversations in notebooks. His deafness forced him to become a very private, insular（孤立的）person over the course of time.
A common question is how Beethoven continued composing without his hearing, but this likely wasn't too difficult. Music is a language, with rules. Knowing the rules of how music is made, he could sit at his desk and compose a piece of music without hearing it. Beethoven's style changed, however, as he lost his public life. His once-cheerful musical style began to take on a dark tone. His famous Sixth Symphony also reflects his different life in deafness.
4. What can we know about Beethoven's deafness
A. Beethoven went deaf before making a name.
B. The exact cause of it is not known at present.
C. Too much lead in his diet caused his deafness.
5. Why did Beethoven keep moving from one place to another
A. He troubled his neighbors with the loud sounds.
B. He was a man of not being satisfied with easy life.
C. He worried that his deafness was known to others
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "retreated"
A. Disappeared. B. Retired. C. Differed.
7. What happened to Beethoven when he was totally deaf
A. He kept himself busy in socializing.
B. He made a change to his musical style.
C. He cut off all the relationships with others.

If you've ever wondered why storms have names, you' re not alone. The question has left many people confused, especially considering the practice is relatively new to the UK.
Simply put, storms have names because it makes them easier to keep track of, which, in turn, helps to make the public more aware of them. The strategy was introduced by the Met Office in 2014 after the UK weather service realized how effective it's been in keeping people safe in other countries. "We have seen how naming storms elsewhere in the world raises awareness of severe weather before it strikes," Derrick Ryall, Public Weather Service at the Met Office, explained. Windstorm Abigail in 2015 was the first storm to be named in the UK, and since then, dozens of other storms have been given their own names.
While the UK has only started naming storms after people in the last ten years, the practice actually dates back to the 1800s. Hurricanes were originally named in honor of saints（圣人）in the Caribbean, with the tradition reportedly beginning with the 1825 Santa Ana Storm in Porto Rico.
Towards the end of the century, British-born meteorologist（气象学家）Clement Wragge decided to give storms female names from Greek and Roman mythology（神话）. The practice died out in the earlier years of the 20th century but restarted during World War II, when Air Force and Navy meteorologists began naming hurricanes after their beloved wives and girlfriends.
In 1953, the United States officially adopted a naming system for storms. Australia followed suit（跟着做）in 1963, as did its next-door neighbor, New Zealand. In these countries, storms are named in an A-Z pattern. Since November 2022, the US has been struck by six storms—Arwen, Barra, Corrie, Dudley, Eunice, and Franklin.
12. When did the UK actually put the storm-naming strategy into use
A. In 2014. B. In 2015. C. In 1953.
13. Where did the storm-naming strategy come from
A. Ancient Greece. B. Ancient Rome. C. The Caribbean.
14. What can we know about Santa Ana
A. She was a friend of a meteorologist.
B. It was the first storm named in the UK.
C. It was a name of a saint in the Caribbean.
15. In what order does New Zealand name its storms
A. The order of importance.
B. The normal order of letters.
C. The order of storm's power.

Beethoven began losing his hearing in his mid-20s, after already building a reputation as a musician and composer. The cause of his deafness remains a mystery, though modern analysis of his DNA revealed health issues including large amounts of lead in his system. At the time, people ate with lead plates—they just didn't know back then.
Continuing to compose and conduct, he changed lodgings（住处）constantly in Vienna, which could be due to Beethoven's neighbors' complaint about his pounding（反复击打）on his piano at all hours.
Beethoven even continued performing publicly as a musician, which was necessary for many composers of the age. That's how they got their pieces out, not just composing but performing. For the longest time he didn't want to disclose his deafness because he believed that it would ruin his career.
Once his hearing was fully gone by age 45, Beethoven retreated from public life. Giving up performing and public appearances, he allowed only select friends to visit him, communicating through written conversations in notebooks. His deafness forced him to become a very private, insular（孤立的）person over the course of time.
A common question is how Beethoven continued composing without his hearing, but this likely wasn't too difficult. Music is a language, with rules. Knowing the rules of how music is made, he could sit at his desk and compose a piece of music without hearing it. Beethoven's style changed, however, as he lost his public life. His once-cheerful musical style began to take on a dark tone. His famous Sixth Symphony also reflects his different life in deafness.

If you've ever wondered why storms have names, you' re not alone. The question has left many people confused, especially considering the practice is relatively new to the UK.
Simply put, storms have names because it makes them easier to keep track of, which, in turn, helps to make the public more aware of them. The strategy was introduced by the Met Office in 2014 after the UK weather service realized how effective it's been in keeping people safe in other countries. "We have seen how naming storms elsewhere in the world raises awareness of severe weather before it strikes," Derrick Ryall, Public Weather Service at the Met Office, explained. Windstorm Abigail in 2015 was the first storm to be named in the UK, and since then, dozens of other storms have been given their own names.
While the UK has only started naming storms after people in the last ten years, the practice actually dates back to the 1800s. Hurricanes were originally named in honor of saints（圣人）in the Caribbean, with the tradition reportedly beginning with the 1825 Santa Ana Storm in Porto Rico.
Towards the end of the century, British-born meteorologist（气象学家）Clement Wragge decided to give storms female names from Greek and Roman mythology（神话）. The practice died out in the earlier years of the 20th century but restarted during World War II, when Air Force and Navy meteorologists began naming hurricanes after their beloved wives and girlfriends.
In 1953, the United States officially adopted a naming system for storms. Australia followed suit（跟着做）in 1963, as did its next-door neighbor, New Zealand. In these countries, storms are named in an A-Z pattern. Since November 2022, the US has been struck by six storms—Arwen, Barra, Corrie, Dudley, Eunice, and Franklin.
12. When did the UK actually put the storm-naming strategy into use
A. In 2014. B. In 2015. C. In 1953.
13. Where did the storm-naming strategy come from
A. Ancient Greece. B. Ancient Rome. C. The Caribbean.
14. What can we know about Santa Ana
A. She was a friend of a meteorologist.
B. It was the first storm named in the UK.
C. It was a name of a saint in the Caribbean.
15. In what order does New Zealand name its storms
A. The order of importance.
B. The normal order of letters.
C. The order of storm's power.

Dear John,
I was very interested in your advertisement in the paper. I'd like to apply to be your guide to Shennongjia Reserve.
I am a 17-year-old boy, who has been working as a volunteer in Shennongjia Reserve for two years. I know every inch of land in Shennongjia Reserve. Since both of us like snub-nosed monkeys, I'm sure we have a lot to share with
each other. Worth mentioning, I'm very proficient in English, so even if you know little about Chinese, we can still communicate with each other freely.
I look forward to your reply.
