In Wisconsin, people love celebrating food, music and culture; they have so much more to offer in fairs and festivals. Now take a look at some of them.
Summerfest
As one of the world’s largest music festival, Summerfest is famous for the line-up (阵容) of over 600 artists across 12 stages in the Lake Michigan, Milwaukee. With the history tracing back to the late 1960s, the festival offers 9 days of a wide variety of live performances, Milwaukee’s local cuisine and various family-friendly activities.
Wisconsin State Fair
Dating back to 1851 and starting from early August, it will last 11 days this year. The vibrant (充满活力的) shopping will offer something from fashion to home decoration; the prize-winning exhibits will show you the talent of some young artists. And there will also be live music and agriculture events to have extra fun.
Sun Prairie Sweet Corn Festival
The 71st annual festival is a must-attend event of this summer, which started as a small town celebration and is now held in August. The featured food is 80 tons of Wisconsin’s grown sweet corn served with savory butter and sprinkled with salt to your liking. With five days, you can find joy in sweet corn.
Warrens Cranberry (小红莓) Festival
Started in 1973, the food festival was set to raise funds to improve the quality of life in the Warrens community. Known for hundreds of arts & crafts booths (摊位) and farm market booths, it’s a great place for you to immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of cranberry farming. Dive into the 3-day celebration taking place on the last weekend of September in Warrens for some small-town fun!

Firstly, Mohiuddin was looking at global environmental issues with the hope of finding one that his entrepreneurial (企业家的) spirit could deal with. He would finally focus on plastic use, the overreliance on it in society, and the dangers of plastic pollution in the form of microplastic particles (颗粒). In particular, he wanted to find an alternative to one of the most common plastic products used today: the plastic shopping bag.
According to The Better India, he started studying a biodegradable polymer (生物可降解聚合物) that was first formed and researched in the 1980s called PBAT. At the time, it was made with corn and potatoes. After identifying a suitable class of machinery to produce the PBAT bags in Gujarat, his speech on PBAT received nearly $100,000 in seed funding that allowed him to start the project.
“I tried to balance both my studies and the operations of the company— from collecting raw material, helping workers to produce bags, to delivering the products in the market,” Mohiuddin told The Better India. “I used to sleep in a corner in the factory.” Overcoming bankruptcy (破产), university studies, and long-term unfinished orders, Mohiuddin’s startup company finally started to make profits, and today produces almost 500,000 bags per year, with a total revenue of $180,000.
“I am glad I am able to contribute my part. Not having a normal college life can be tiring sometimes, but in the end, it is all worth it. I feel content when I go back to sleep. But much more needs to be done to make India plastic-free, and I will continue to strive for it,” he adds.
24. What is the primary focus of Mohiuddin’s entrepreneurial efforts
A. To develop replacements to plastic shopping bags.
B. To improve traditional plastic products.
C. To promote the use of corn in producing.
D. To lengthen the use of plastic shopping bags.
25. What was the result of Mohiuddin’s speech on PBAT
A. He received a sum of money for his studies.
B. He gained the fund to start his project.
C. He got to know many investors.
D. He decided to put off the project.
26. What can be inferred about Mohiuddin from paragraph 3
A. He solved many kinds of environmental issues.
B. He considered learning more important than business.
C. He was willing to lose personal comfort for his goals.
D. He sought advice from experts for developing his business.
27. How does Mohiuddin feel about the progress he has made
A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Regretful. D. Challenged.
C
A fin whale body that was washed ashore at San Diego’s Pacific Beach was discovered to have many bite marks from killer whales, which could have contributed to its death, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). At first, NOAA researchers deemed the marks might be from sharks, but further analysis (分析) by experts showed that these were actually rake (耙子) marks, an unusual feature of killer whales, as stated by NOAA spokesperson Michael Milstein.
While it is possible that killer whales played a role in the fin whale’s death, NOAA has not confirmed that they were the definitive cause. Milstein noted that there are documented instances where killer whales have chased fin whales, causing them to beach themselves in attempts to escape. This suggests that killer whales could have influenced the whale’s fate (命运), but there is no certainty that they were the direct cause of death.
Additionally, NOAA reported sightings of a group of about a dozen killer whales along the Southern California coast, including San Diego. Boaters in the area filmed footage of a group of killer whales actively chasing and likely feeding on dolphins near Torrey Pines. This indicates that killer whales are currently active in the region and may be involved in various predatory (捕食性的) behaviors.
The fin whale’s body was discovered on December 10. Lifeguards spent the entire day trying to drag the whale back out to sea, but despite their efforts, the body returned to shore at least once. The whale was observed bleeding from its side, and attempts to pull it away using a small boat connected to its tail were unsuccessful. Fin whales, which are the second- largest whale species on Earth after blue whales, are considered endangered and relatively few in number. These whales can weigh up to 100,000 pounds. NOAA highly values public reports regarding stranded (搁浅的) or injured sea animals. NOAA extremely appreciates such reports and encourages the public to provide information on how to report these incidents. NOAA supposes that it is time for all to work together.
28. What does the underlined word “deemed” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Complained. B. Persuaded. C. Believed. D. Advocated.
29. What could killer whales do to cause the possible death of the fin whale
A. Drag it to the shore. B. Hit it unexpectedly.
C. Attack it in a group. D. Chase it until it beached itself.
30. What can be inferred about killer whales from paragraph 3
A. Their presence is causing concern for locals.
B. They are a new threat to the local ecosystem.
C. They are hardly engaging in predatory behaviors.
D. They are observed to be active near Torrey Pines.
31. What is NOAA’s attitude towards public reports
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Worried.
D
Low levels of vitamin (维生素) D could lead to a slower recovery process in children with broken bones, according to research to be presented at a conference this weekend.
“Children need to be given well-balanced diets that include vitamin D to maintain children’s overall health and ensure efficient recovery when injuries occur,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Jessica McQuerry of the University of Florida.
McQuerry’s team examined data about 166 patients, from babies to 17-year-olds, who had broken a bone between 2015 and 2022. They found that in 61.4 percent of cases, the children had low levels of vitamin D and these children were likely to take significantly longer to recover.
Professor Scarlett McNally, the deputy director of London’s Center for Perioperative Care, said, “Vitamin D helps in many body functions, including repair of bones and tissues. It is a vitamin that helps the body manage calcium which keeps your bones strong and is needed for muscles to contract. Vitamin D also has a role in immune (免疫) function, helping your body deal with infection and cancer. It also has a role in cell division— essential for tissue repair.”
The study’s authors said that previous studies had focused on how vitamin D can help prevent fractures (骨折), but this new research is making up for the fact that vitamin D for children’s fractures had been largely unexplored up to this point. They recommended testing your child for vitamin D levels if a broken bone is taking a long time to recover.
Vitamin D can be found in a variety of foods. Dairy products, such as milk and cheese, are particularly high in the nutrient, but it is also found in fish, eggs and some vegetables.
Sunlight exposure can help the body absorb vitamin D. “Getting outside and enjoying the fresh air can do wonders for your recovery while also upping vitamin D absorption,” McQuerry said.
32. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The side effects of medicine. B. The good ways to keep fit.
C. The functions of vitamin D. D. The roles of bones and tissues.
33. How does the new research differ from previous studies
A. It uncovers the secret of tasty foods. B. It offers deep insights into vitamin D.
C. It focuses on teenage exercise routine. D. It provides the cure for broken bones.
34. What do the study’s authors advise parents to do
A. Eat vegetables as much as possible.
B. Ask their family members to work out.
C. Refuse dairy products in the supermarket.
D. Check vitamin D levels of their kids.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Well-balanced Diets Help Teenagers Grow Up
B. Exploring Nature Plays a Key Role in Life
C. Vitamin D Is Vital for Children
D. Researchers Find a New Kind of Vitamin

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
An orangutan (红毛猩猩) 56 (observe) to use a tropical plant to treat a wound, 57 (mark) another example of animals relieving their illnesses with natural treatments, scientists reported Thursday.
Researchers witnessed Rakus, an adult male orangutan, pulled leaves from a medicinal plant 58 (common) used by humans in Southeast Asia for pain and inflammation (发炎). He chewed the leaves and then applied the plant’s juices to an 59 (injure) on his right cheek using his fingers. Afterward, he pressed the chewed leaves onto the wound as a makeshift bandage, according to a study 60 (publishing) in Scientific Reports.
While previous research has shown orangutans’ searching 61 medicinal plants, this is the first time an animal has been seen directly using a medicinal plant on a wound. Co-author Isabelle Laumer, a biologist at the Max Planck Institute, remarked that this behavior is quite 62 (power) and unprecedented (史无前例的).
The behavior was recorded in 2022 by field researcher Ulil Azhari at the Suaq Project in Indonesia. Photos show that 63 wound healed within a month.
Although scientists have observed orangutans since 1994 in Gunung Leuser National Park, this behavior had not been seen before. It is possible 64 Rakus learned the technique outside the study area, said co-author Caroline Schuppli.
Similar self-medication behaviors have been observed in other primates, such as chimpanzees and gorillas. They use plants to relieve stomach 65 (issue) or get rid of parasites.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In my grandparents’ era, the question of whether to repair or replace an item was unrelated. Repair was usually the only option. So, when faced with a broken hoe (锄头), I let my brain do a little time traveling and decided to make the repair, just like Grandpa would have done.
I dug through my old toolbox for the needed parts, seeking for just the right tools in my odd collection. I would value the strong cords of connection tying together present and past generations. Working with objects that have a history is satisfying, and I love thinking about the hands that used them to keep homes, farms, or autos running smoothly.
Finally, I chose my favorite hammer (锤子) from my dad, who received it from his dad. Grandpa’s hammer has a worn, ash handle, the grain smooth from 70 years of use and spotted with colorful paint and small cuts from a lifetime of projects. I love how he’d used a bent horseshoe nail to tighten the head to the handle.
With just the right bolt (螺栓) I just found in hand, I was ready to begin to repair. Along with his hammer, I thought about how Grandpa always stressed the importance of having the right tools for a job. While I was immersed in the repairs and my memories, my neighbor’s child, Paul, came running over asking for help. His bicycle chain had come off again, and this was something I could lend a hand to do.
I set aside my work and took Paul to his bike. Fixing a chain wasn’t hard, but Paul clearly lacked the know-how. As I taught him, I shared with him the lesson passed down from my grandfather: The right tool and the related knowledge are essential for completing any job. Paul watched attentively and curiously.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few moments later, we managed to get the chain back on track. Thinking of the hammer, I decided to start a small club to repair old items for kids in the community every Friday.

W: Really That’s amazing! But what does this chemical have to do with shouting
M: Shouting can cause your body to produce this chemical. Take a weightlifting for example. A good shout could add more strength.
W: Wow. Can I also apply this to my brain I’m not good at memorizing English words.
M: I think you’d probably better not shout during your English test.

M: Oh, no. That must be terrible!
W: Oh, yes. Sometimes it takes us a long time just to get them to fall asleep again.
M: Have you tried talking to them
W: We haven’t really met them yet except to say a quick hello last month. But I feel it’s stupid to complain.
M: You said it was driving you crazy.
W: Well, I’m just not getting enough sleep and neither are the kids.
M: Maybe you could just go over sometime with a small gift. Then you could talk about your trouble with them. Remember, the longer you wait, the harder it’ll be to do it politely.
W: Well, I guess you’re right. I’ll have a try.

M: Good morning, everyone! Last Friday, we talked about Mozart and Franz. In today’s class, we’ll learn about the great German musician Beethoven. Beethoven was born in Bonn in1770. He was first taught by his father and later by the composer and conductor Christian Gottlob Neefe. And under Christian’s guidance, he published his first work in 1783. In 1792, Beethoven moved to Vienna, which later laid the groundwork for his career. He then gained a reputation as a skilled pianist. His first major orchestral work, Symphony No.1 in C Major, Op.21 was first played in public in 1800. Unluckily, he was gradually losing his hearing. Beethoven had to use notebooks to carry out conversations. But he continued to conduct and finished his Symphony No.3 in E-flat Major, Op.55 and Symphony No.5 in C Minor, Op.60 in 1804 and 1808. He was almost completely deaf when he was 45, and then he gave up performing and disappearing in public. Although Beethoven was less social, he composed many of his most admired works. His only opera, Fidelio, first performed in 1805. After a long illness, he died in 1827. Beethoven’s works make a big difference in classical music now.

Online Shopping
Online shopping has become a popular trend among high school students. It offers convenience, allowing us to shop from the comfort of our homes. With a few clicks, we can browse through a wide range of products and compare prices easily. Moreover, online stores often provide discounts and deals that are hard to find in physical stores.
However, I believe there are downsides to online shopping. The inability to see or try products before buying can lead to disappointment. Additionally, the environmental impact of packaging and delivery should not be overlooked. Despite these concerns, I think online shopping is here to stay and will continue to develop, making our lives more convenient.

参考范文：
A few moments later, we managed to get the chain back on track. Paul’s face lit up with pride and he said loudly, “Thank you for helping me. Now I know how to fix it and I can fix it myself next time!” I replied, “My pleasure.” As I waved him goodbye, I felt a sense of accomplishment that went beyond the simple act of repairing a hoe or a bike chain. It was about passing on a valuable lesson and perhaps inspiring a younger generation to embrace the same values of self-reliance.
Thinking of the hammer, I decided to start a small club to repair old items for kids in the community every Friday. My club not only taught practical skills but also promoted environmental awareness. So every Friday afternoon, a group of kids would gather in the community center to learn something about fixing and recycling, together with their broken toys and various household items in need of repair. As the months went by, the club became a center of innovation and learning, showing we could breathe new life into old things and build stronger bonds with each other.

Summerfest
As one of the world’s largest music festival, Summerfest is famous for the line-up (阵容) of over 600 artists across 12 stages in the Lake Michigan, Milwaukee. With the history tracing back to the late 1960s, the festival offers 9 days of a wide variety of live performances, Milwaukee’s local cuisine and various family-friendly activities.
Wisconsin State Fair
Dating back to 1851 and starting from early August, it will last 11 days this year.

Firstly, Mohiuddin was looking at global environmental issues with the hope of finding one that his entrepreneurial (企业家的) spirit could deal with. He would finally focus on plastic use, the overreliance on it in society, and the dangers of plastic pollution in the form of microplastic particles (颗粒). In particular, he wanted to find an alternative to one of the most common plastic products used today: the plastic shopping bag.
According to The Better India, he started studying a biodegradable polymer (生物可降解聚合物) that was first formed and researched in the 1980s called PBAT. At the time, it was made with corn and potatoes. After identifying a suitable class of machinery to produce the PBAT bags in Gujarat, his speech on PBAT received nearly $100,000 in seed funding that allowed him to start the project.
“I tried to balance both my studies and the operations of the company— from collecting raw material, helping workers to produce bags, to delivering the products in the market,” Mohiuddin told The Better India. “I used to sleep in a corner in the factory.” Overcoming bankruptcy (破产), university studies, and long-term unfinished orders, Mohiuddin’s startup company finally started to make profits, and today produces almost 500,000 bags per year, with a total revenue of $180,000.
“I am glad I am able to contribute my part. Not having a normal college life can be tiring sometimes, but in the end, it is all worth it. I feel content when I go back to sleep. But much more needs to be done to make India plastic-free, and I will continue to strive for it,” he adds.
24. What is the primary focus of Mohiuddin’s entrepreneurial efforts
A. To develop replacements to plastic shopping bags.
B. To improve traditional plastic products.
C. To promote the use of corn in producing.
D. To lengthen the use of plastic shopping bags.
25. What was the result of Mohiuddin’s speech on PBAT
A. He received a sum of money for his studies.
B. He gained the fund to start his project.
C. He got to know many investors.
D. He decided to put off the project.
26. What can be inferred about Mohiuddin from paragraph 3
A. He solved many kinds of environmental issues.
B. He considered learning more important than business.
C. He was willing to lose personal comfort for his goals.
D. He sought advice from experts for developing his business.
27. How does Mohiuddin feel about the progress he has made
A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Regretful. D. Challenged.
C
A fin whale body that was washed ashore at San Diego’s Pacific Beach was discovered to have many bite marks from killer whales, which could have contributed to its death, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). At first, NOAA researchers deemed the marks might be from sharks, but further analysis (分析) by experts showed that these were actually rake (耙子) marks, an unusual feature of killer whales, as stated by NOAA spokesperson Michael Milstein.
While it is possible that killer whales played a role in the fin whale’s death, NOAA has not confirmed that they were the definitive cause. Milstein noted that there are documented instances where killer whales have chased fin whales, causing them to beach themselves in attempts to escape. This suggests that killer whales could have influenced the whale’s fate (命运), but there is no certainty that they were the direct cause of death.
Additionally, NOAA reported sightings of a group of about a dozen killer whales along the Southern California coast, including San Diego. Boaters in the area filmed footage of a group of killer whales actively chasing and likely feeding on dolphins near Torrey Pines. This indicates that killer whales are currently active in the region and may be involved in various predatory (捕食性的) behaviors.
The fin whale’s body was discovered on December 10. Lifeguards spent the entire day trying to drag the whale back out to sea, but despite their efforts, the body returned to shore at least once. The whale was observed bleeding from its side, and attempts to pull it away using a small boat connected to its tail were unsuccessful. Fin whales, which are the second- largest whale species on Earth after blue whales, are considered endangered and relatively few in number. These whales can weigh up to 100,000 pounds. NOAA highly values public reports regarding stranded (搁浅的) or injured sea animals. NOAA extremely appreciates such reports and encourages the public to provide information on how to report these incidents. NOAA supposes that it is time for all to work together.
28. What does the underlined word “deemed” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Complained. B. Persuaded. C. Believed. D. Advocated.
29. What could killer whales do to cause the possible death of the fin whale
A. Drag it to the shore. B. Hit it unexpectedly.
C. Attack it in a group. D. Chase it until it beached itself.
30. What can be inferred about killer whales from paragraph 3
A. Their presence is causing concern for locals.
B. They are a new threat to the local ecosystem.
C. They are hardly engaging in predatory behaviors.
D. They are observed to be active near Torrey Pines.
31. What is NOAA’s attitude towards public reports
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Worried.
D
Low levels of vitamin (维生素) D could lead to a slower recovery process in children with broken bones, according to research to be presented at a conference this weekend.
“Children need to be given well-balanced diets that include vitamin D to maintain children’s overall health and ensure efficient recovery when injuries occur,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Jessica McQuerry of the University of Florida.
McQuerry’s team examined data about 166 patients, from babies to 17-year-olds, who had broken a bone between 2015 and 2022. They found that in 61.4 percent of cases, the children had low levels of vitamin D and these children were likely to take significantly longer to recover.
Professor Scarlett McNally, the deputy director of London’s Center for Perioperative Care, said, “Vitamin D helps in many body functions, including repair of bones and tissues. It is a vitamin that helps the body manage calcium which keeps your bones strong and is needed for muscles to contract. Vitamin D also has a role in immune (免疫) function, helping your body deal with infection and cancer. It also has a role in cell division— essential for tissue repair.”
The study’s authors said that previous studies had focused on how vitamin D can help prevent fractures (骨折), but this new research is making up for the fact that vitamin D for children’s fractures had been largely unexplored up to this point. They recommended testing your child for vitamin D levels if a broken bone is taking a long time to recover.
Vitamin D can be found in a variety of foods. Dairy products, such as milk and cheese, are particularly high in the nutrient, but it is also found in fish, eggs and some vegetables.
Sunlight exposure can help the body absorb vitamin D. “Getting outside and enjoying the fresh air can do wonders for your recovery while also upping vitamin D absorption,” McQuerry said.
32. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The side effects of medicine. B. The good ways to keep fit.
C. The functions of vitamin D. D. The roles of bones and tissues.
33. How does the new research differ from previous studies
A. It uncovers the secret of tasty foods. B. It offers deep insights into vitamin D.
C. It focuses on teenage exercise routine. D. It provides the cure for broken bones.
34. What do the study’s authors advise parents to do
A. Eat vegetables as much as possible.
B. Ask their family members to work out.
C. Refuse dairy products in the supermarket.
D. Check vitamin D levels of their kids.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Well-balanced Diets Help Teenagers Grow Up
B. Exploring Nature Plays a Key Role in Life
C. Vitamin D Is Vital for Children
D. Researchers Find a New Kind of Vitamin

An orangutan (红毛猩猩) 56 (observe) to use a tropical plant to treat a wound, 57 (mark) another example of animals relieving their illnesses with natural treatments, scientists reported Thursday.
Researchers witnessed Rakus, an adult male orangutan, pulled leaves from a medicinal plant 58 (common) used by humans in Southeast Asia for pain and inflammation (发炎). He chewed the leaves and then applied the plant’s juices to an 59 (injure) on his right cheek using his fingers. Afterward, he pressed the chewed leaves onto the wound as a makeshift bandage, according to a study 60 (publishing) in Scientific Reports.
While previous research has shown orangutans’ searching 61 medicinal plants, this is the first time an animal has been seen directly using a medicinal plant on a wound. Co-author Isabelle Laumer, a biologist at the Max Planck Institute, remarked that this behavior is quite 62 (power) and unprecedented (史无前例的).
The behavior was recorded in 2022 by field researcher Ulil Azhari at the Suaq Project in Indonesia. Photos show that 63 wound healed within a month.
Although scientists have observed orangutans since 1994 in Gunung Leuser National Park, this behavior had not been seen before. It is possible 64 Rakus learned the technique outside the study area, said co-author Caroline Schuppli.
Similar self-medication behaviors have been observed in other primates, such as chimpanzees and gorillas. They use plants to relieve stomach 65 (issue) or get rid of parasites.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In my grandparents’ era, the question of whether to repair or replace an item was unrelated. Repair was usually the only option. So, when faced with a broken hoe (锄头), I let my brain do a little time traveling and decided to make the repair, just like Grandpa would have done.
I dug through my old toolbox for the needed parts, seeking for just the right tools in my odd collection. I would value the strong cords of connection tying together present and past generations. Working with objects that have a history is satisfying, and I love thinking about the hands that used them to keep homes, farms, or autos running smoothly.
Finally, I chose my favorite hammer (锤子) from my dad, who received it from his dad. Grandpa’s hammer has a worn, ash handle, the grain smooth from 70 years of use and spotted with colorful paint and small cuts from a lifetime of projects. I love how he’d used a bent horseshoe nail to tighten the head to the handle.
With just the right bolt (螺栓) I just found in hand, I was ready to begin to repair. Along with his hammer, I thought about how Grandpa always stressed the importance of having the right tools for a job. While I was immersed in the repairs and my memories, my neighbor’s child, Paul, came running over asking for help. His bicycle chain had come off again, and this was something I could lend a hand to do.
I set aside my work and took Paul to his bike. Fixing a chain wasn’t hard, but Paul clearly lacked the know-how. As I taught him, I shared with him the lesson passed down from my grandfather: The right tool and the related knowledge are essential for completing any job. Paul watched attentively and curiously.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few moments later, we managed to get the chain back on track. Thinking of the hammer, I decided to start a small club to repair old items for kids in the community every Friday.

W: Really That’s amazing! But what does this chemical have to do with shouting
M: Shouting can cause your body to produce this chemical. Take a weightlifting for example. A good shout could add more strength.

M: Good morning, everyone! Last Friday, we talked about Mozart and Franz. In today’s class, we’ll learn about the great German musician Beethoven. Beethoven was born in Bonn in1770. He was first taught by his father and later by the composer and conductor Christian Gottlob Neefe. And under Christian’s guidance, he published his first work in 1783. In 1792, Beethoven moved to Vienna, which later laid the groundwork for his career. He then gained a reputation as a skilled pianist. His first major orchestral work, Symphony No.1 in C Major, Op.21 was first played in public in 1800. Unluckily, he was gradually losing his hearing. Beethoven had to use notebooks to carry out conversations. But he continued to conduct and finished his Symphony No.3 in E-flat Major, Op.55 and Symphony No.5 in C Minor, Op.60 in 1804 and 1808. He was almost completely deaf when he was 45, and then he gave up performing and disappearing in public. Although Beethoven was less social, he composed many of his most admired works. His only opera, Fidelio, first performed in 1805. After a long illness, he died in 1827. Beethoven’s works make a big difference in classical music now.

Online Shopping
Online shopping has become a popular trend among high school students. It offers convenience, allowing us to shop from the comfort of our homes. With a few clicks, we can browse through a wide range of products and compare prices easily. Moreover, online stores often provide discounts and deals that are hard to find in physical stores.
However, I believe there are downsides to online shopping. The inability to see or try products before buying can lead to disappointment. Additionally, the environmental impact of packaging and delivery should not be overlooked. Despite these concerns, I think online shopping is here to stay and will continue to develop, making our lives more convenient.

参考范文：
A few moments later, we managed to get the chain back on track. Paul’s face lit up with pride and he said loudly, “Thank you for helping me. Now I know how to fix it and I can fix it myself next time!” I replied, “My pleasure.” As I waved him goodbye, I felt a sense of accomplishment that went beyond the simple act of repairing a hoe or a bike chain. It was about passing on a valuable lesson and perhaps inspiring a younger generation to embrace the same values of self-reliance.
Thinking of the hammer, I decided to start a small club to repair old items for kids in the community every Friday. My club not only taught practical skills but also promoted environmental awareness. So every Friday afternoon, a group of kids would gather in the community center to learn something about fixing and recycling, together with their broken toys and various household items in need of repair. As the months went by, the club became a center of innovation and learning, showing we could breathe new life into old things and build stronger bonds with each other.
