High levels of lead detected in Ludwig van Beethoven's hair which has been confirmed belonging to him suggest that the composer had lead poisoning, which may have contributed to illness he endured over the course of his life, including deafness, according to new research.
In addition to hearing loss, the famed classical composer had repeated stomach issues throughout his life, experienced two attacks of severe liver disease. It is believed that Beethoven died from liver and kidney disease at age 56. But the process of understanding what caused his many health problems has been a much more complicated puzzle, one that even Beethoven himself hoped doctors could eventually solve.
An international team of researchers set out nearly a decade ago to partially fulfill Beethoven's wish by studying locks of his hair. Using DNA analysis, the team determined which ones truly belonged to the composer and which did not, and sequenced Beethoven's genome（基因组）. The findings, published in a March 2023 report, revealed that Beethoven had significant genetic risk factors for liver disease. But the results didn't provide any insights into the underlying causes of his deafness, which began in his 20s, or his stomach issues.
Beethoven's genome was made publicly available, inviting researchers around the world to investigate remaining questions about Beethoven's health. In addition to high concentrations of lead, the latest findings showed arsenic（砷）and mercury（汞）that remain trapped in the composer's strings of hair nearly 200 years after his death, according to a new letter published Monday in the journal Clinical Chemistry. The surprising insights could provide new windows into Beethoven's persistent health problems.
24． What might have caused Beethoven's long-term health problems
A. Loss of hearing.
B. High levels of lead in his body.
C. Constant complaints.
D. Lack of doctor's treatment.
25． The underlined word "wish" in paragraph 3 may refer to________.
A. Examining his hair. B. Curing him of the disease.
C. Identifying the cause of his illness. D. Conducting DNA analysis.
26． What did the report in 2023 find out
A. The potential cause of his deafness.
B. The sequence of his genetic material.
C. The hair that truly belonged to Beethoven.
D. Beethoven's carrying a great genetic risk of liver disease.
27． Why does the author mention the latest findings in the last paragraph
A. To confirm the earlier result.
B. To contradict the previous findings.
C. To draw a conclusion about the contributing factors.
D. To provide a better understanding of the cause of his illness.
The ocean feels boundless.If you were to start swimming from shore, it's easy to believe-fitness and oxygen aside you could continue forever.That's a far different experience to overland travel, where mountains, rivers, and highways jammed with traffic prevents easy passage.It's equally easy to believe that fish and other highly mobile sea creatures experience the ocean in such a fashion.These animals, adapted over thousands of years to navigate the ocean, must easily bypass (统过) any barrier around which they can theoretically swim.That assumption, though, is wrong.
It's common for many oceanic species to stick to specific habitats and only seldom swim beyond them.That is especially true for many immature animals, which are small and easy to fall victim to predators.This, however, can cause unexpectedly big problems for oceanic species, especially when infrastructure (基础设施) gets in the way.
Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.In 2017,engineers working on a local oil and gas processing plant built a new loading facility consisting of a large piling jetty(码头)and solid rock wall, which stretched 500 meters offshore.Later, scientists realized that the green sawfish were unable, or unwilling, to pass around the barrier.But that could prevent the animals from reaching valuable feeding grounds and other habitats.
This discovery leads to a surprising new idea: that sea animals, much like land species need a helping hand getting around human infrastructure.In the case of the green sawfish, engineers could have created underpasses in the jetty through which the fish could swim.
As the climate continues to change, many sea species are moving farther north and they need suitable habitats to move through.Whether creating pass-throughs in artificial structures or plotting routes away from warming oceans, thoughtfully designing our infrastructure could go a long way toward protecting animals as we continue to engineer the ocean.
28．What is the misunderstanding mentioned in the first paragraph
A.Sea creatures adapt to the ocean slowly.
B.The ocean presents no barriers to sea life.
C.Humans are inherently skilled at sea navigation.
D.Sea travel guarantees easier passage than land travel.
29．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.The impact of human-made structures.
B.The risk of being hunted by predators.
C.The behavior of mature oceanic animals.
D.The tendency to stay in familiar habitats.
30．Why are the green sawfish mentioned in the passage
A.To illustrate a point.
B.To present a phenomenon
C.To put forward a new argument.
D.To add some background information.
31．What does the author suggest about engineering the ocean
A.Maximizing economic benefits
B.Prioritizing human infrastructures
C.Creating underpasses for surfers
D.Accommodating oceanic species’ needs
Are you eyebrow blind TikTok users seem to think so-many have complained on the platform about makeup wearers’ apparent inability to spot whether they're blindly following makeup trends or wearing what looks good on their faces.Though “eyebrow blindness” and other types of “beauty blindness" aren’t exactly considered mental health trouble.people's tendency to follow trends-even when they look silly or take risks doing so-is definitely a real phenomenon.
So, what does psychology say about trend following First, following trends isn't a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble.Instead, says psychologist Pamela B.Rutledge, it's perfectly normal.The reason for trend following relates to humans' core need to belong toa social group and connect with others.Multiple psychological frameworks argue that human connections are as important as basics like access to food and shelter because humans evolved(进化)to rely on one another for survival.
But why do trends themselves have such a pull "Our brains are hardwired to notice what’s unusual," Rutledge says.Thus, we notice outliers and attention-grabbers, making trends even more appealing for those bold enough to follow them.
No one is exempt from following crazes, noticing trends, or signaling their real belonging to social groups.But one group in particular is even easier to follow trends-even risky ones: Tweens, teens, and young adults.As children start the road toward adult independence, they look for ways to express their individuality.This can produce sometimes desperate attempts to prove affiliation(隶属关系) with socially credible in-groups and can fuel desire to stand out with the help of trends.
So, next time you put on makeup-or get dressed, order a meal in public, or purchase a vehicle-consider that your decision may not be as personalized as you may think."it's really just an inborn response, one that can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd." says Rutledge.
32．According to the first paragraph, a beauty blind person might
A.oppose makeup trends publicly
B.follow makeup trends uncritically
C.rely on social media for makeup advice
D.take risks with untested beauty products
33．What's a primary motivation of trend following
A.Financial profit. B.Social connection.
C.Artistic expression. D.Character weakness.
34．Which can best replace the underlined words “exempt from” in paragraph 4
A.Free of. B.Subject to.
C.Exposed to. D.Concerned about.
35．What might Rutledge think of trend following
A.It's a personalized choice.
B.It mirrors people's mental health
C.It results from lack of self-confidence.
D.It's a natural response to social signals
三、七选五
36．I count myself among the polyglots who know several languages!

Tip 2: Record yourself
③______. Sometimes I just talk about whatever topic I want, other times I record myself while I'm on the phone, or I ask a friend if 1 can record a conversation we're about. to have.

Listening to the recordings benefits me a lot.
Tip 3: Be compassionate
Being kind to yourself while learning, a language will ,do .some magic for you! There are many ways to apply self-compassion to learning: for example: Remember that it takes time to build both accuracy and comfort using the language, so set realistic goals. Be patient if you don't reach those goals as quickly as you were hoping! Don't beat yourself up if you don't sound how you'd like after one, two or even 15 years.⑤______which hinders your progress. Welcome any mistakes and use them to improve. Don't compare yourself to other learners. There is room for all at the language-learning table!

54．Kwan’s Secret Talent
"Kwan, isn’t that your art teacher " his grandmother said, pointing at a woman walking out of the grocery store.
Kwan waved, and Mrs. Gibbs walked over to him and his grandmother. "It’s very nice to see you," Mrs. Gibbs said. Then she saw the cloths wrapped around the groceries Kwan and his grandmother were loading into their car. "Oh, how beautiful!" she exclaimed.
"Thank you. These are our hometown wrapping cloths," grandmother explained. "Kwan and I embroidered(刺绣)them together."
Kwan looked away. Although he enjoyed helping grandmother make the cloths, he didn’t want anyone at school to know about it.
"Kwan, you should bring your cloths to school tomorrow. Your classmates would enjoy seeing them. You have a unique skill," Mrs. Gibbs said.
Kwan appreciated his teacher’s comments, but he was hesitant. The kids might laugh at the idea of a boy who liked to stitch(缝)patterns with a needle and thread. He thought about his grandmother’s wide smile that showed how proud of him she would be for sharing this custom.
"O.K. I’ll bring some to class tomorrow," Kwan replied quietly.
Grandma sensed that something was wrong. "Kwan, are you worried about tomorrow " she asked.
Kwan stared at the floor. "What are the other kids going to think " he said. "This isn’t the kind of thing they do for fun. Creating embroidered patterns isn’t like playing an instrument or a sport."
"You’re right," Grandma said. "It is different. But that is why it is so special." Then she brought out a fine cloth with different designs. "When your grandfather and I were married, we received a gift from his mother wrapped in this cloth she made. In our culture, gifts given in wrapping cloths are extra special because they are a symbol of love and good luck." she explained.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school.

54．答案： The next morning, Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school. During art class, his heart raced, knowing Mrs. Gibbs would eventually call on him. Just as he hoped time might run out, he heard his name. Kwan walked to the front, his face flushed. Taking a deep breath, he carefully unfolded the cloths, and the vibrant patterns immediately caught everyone’s attention. Encouraged by their interest, Kwan began to explain the cultural meaning behind the patterns. For a moment, there was silence, but instead of teasing, curious hands shot into the air. “This must have taken forever to make!” one student exclaimed. Another added, “You’ve got serious talent, Kwan.”
As Kwan listened to his classmates, he noticed his forehead no longer felt hot. His initial unease had vanished as their sincere compliments reached him. They even asked him to teach them embroidery. The class soon turned into a workshop with Kwan guiding them how to stitch. Some wanted to use the special cloth to carry their lunch, but soon realized they needed practice if they didn’t want their sandwiches ending up on the sidewalk. “Folding these cloths is another talent,” Mrs. Gibbs laughed as her own cloth came undone. Embracing the moment, Kwan realized that sharing his craft wasn’t something to be embarrassed about—it was a way to connect with others and to share a meaningful part of his culture.

High levels of lead detected in Ludwig van Beethoven's hair which has been confirmed belonging to him suggest that the composer had lead poisoning, which may have contributed to illness he endured over the course of his life, including deafness, according to new research.
In addition to hearing loss, the famed classical composer had repeated stomach issues throughout his life, experienced two attacks of severe liver disease. It is believed that Beethoven died from liver and kidney disease at age 56. But the process of understanding what caused his many health problems has been a much more complicated puzzle, one that even Beethoven himself hoped doctors could eventually solve.
An international team of researchers set out nearly a decade ago to partially fulfill Beethoven's wish by studying locks of his hair. Using DNA analysis, the team determined which ones truly belonged to the composer and which did not, and sequenced Beethoven's genome（基因组）. The findings, published in a March 2023 report, revealed that Beethoven had significant genetic risk factors for liver disease. But the results didn't provide any insights into the underlying causes of his deafness, which began in his 20s, or his stomach issues.
Beethoven's genome was made publicly available, inviting researchers around the world to investigate remaining questions about Beethoven's health. In addition to high concentrations of lead, the latest findings showed arsenic（砷）and mercury（汞）that remain trapped in the composer's strings of hair nearly 200 years after his death, according to a new letter published Monday in the journal Clinical Chemistry. The surprising insights could provide new windows into Beethoven's persistent health problems.
24． What might have caused Beethoven's long-term health problems
A. Loss of hearing.
B. High levels of lead in his body.
C. Constant complaints.
D. Lack of doctor's treatment.
25． The underlined word "wish" in paragraph 3 may refer to________.
A. Examining his hair. B. Curing him of the disease.
C. Identifying the cause of his illness. D. Conducting DNA analysis.
26． What did the report in 2023 find out
A. The potential cause of his deafness.
B. The sequence of his genetic material.
C. The hair that truly belonged to Beethoven.
D. Beethoven's carrying a great genetic risk of liver disease.
27． Why does the author mention the latest findings in the last paragraph
A. To confirm the earlier result.
B. To contradict the previous findings.
C. To draw a conclusion about the contributing factors.
D. To provide a better understanding of the cause of his illness.
The ocean feels boundless.If you were to start swimming from shore, it's easy to believe-fitness and oxygen aside you could continue forever.That's a far different experience to overland travel, where mountains, rivers, and highways jammed with traffic prevents easy passage.It's equally easy to believe that fish and other highly mobile sea creatures experience the ocean in such a fashion.These animals, adapted over thousands of years to navigate the ocean, must easily bypass (统过) any barrier around which they can theoretically swim.That assumption, though, is wrong.
It's common for many oceanic species to stick to specific habitats and only seldom swim beyond them.That is especially true for many immature animals, which are small and easy to fall victim to predators.This, however, can cause unexpectedly big problems for oceanic species, especially when infrastructure (基础设施) gets in the way.
Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.In 2017,engineers working on a local oil and gas processing plant built a new loading facility consisting of a large piling jetty(码头)and solid rock wall, which stretched 500 meters offshore.Later, scientists realized that the green sawfish were unable, or unwilling, to pass around the barrier.But that could prevent the animals from reaching valuable feeding grounds and other habitats.
This discovery leads to a surprising new idea: that sea animals, much like land species need a helping hand getting around human infrastructure.In the case of the green sawfish, engineers could have created underpasses in the jetty through which the fish could swim.
As the climate continues to change, many sea species are moving farther north and they need suitable habitats to move through.Whether creating pass-throughs in artificial structures or plotting routes away from warming oceans, thoughtfully designing our infrastructure could go a long way toward protecting animals as we continue to engineer the ocean.
28．What is the misunderstanding mentioned in the first paragraph
A.Sea creatures adapt to the ocean slowly.
B.The ocean presents no barriers to sea life.
C.Humans are inherently skilled at sea navigation.
D.Sea travel guarantees easier passage than land travel.
29．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.The impact of human-made structures.
B.The risk of being hunted by predators.
C.The behavior of mature oceanic animals.
D.The tendency to stay in familiar habitats.
30．Why are the green sawfish mentioned in the passage
A.To illustrate a point.
B.To present a phenomenon
C.To put forward a new argument.
D.To add some background information.
31．What does the author suggest about engineering the ocean
A.Maximizing economic benefits
B.Prioritizing human infrastructures
C.Creating underpasses for surfers
D.Accommodating oceanic species’ needs
Are you eyebrow blind TikTok users seem to think so-many have complained on the platform about makeup wearers’ apparent inability to spot whether they're blindly following makeup trends or wearing what looks good on their faces.Though “eyebrow blindness” and other types of “beauty blindness" aren’t exactly considered mental health trouble.people's tendency to follow trends-even when they look silly or take risks doing so-is definitely a real phenomenon.
So, what does psychology say about trend following First, following trends isn't a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble.Instead, says psychologist Pamela B.Rutledge, it's perfectly normal.The reason for trend following relates to humans' core need to belong toa social group and connect with others.Multiple psychological frameworks argue that human connections are as important as basics like access to food and shelter because humans evolved(进化)to rely on one another for survival.
But why do trends themselves have such a pull "Our brains are hardwired to notice what’s unusual," Rutledge says.Thus, we notice outliers and attention-grabbers, making trends even more appealing for those bold enough to follow them.
No one is exempt from following crazes, noticing trends, or signaling their real belonging to social groups.But one group in particular is even easier to follow trends-even risky ones: Tweens, teens, and young adults.As children start the road toward adult independence, they look for ways to express their individuality.This can produce sometimes desperate attempts to prove affiliation(隶属关系) with socially credible in-groups and can fuel desire to stand out with the help of trends.
So, next time you put on makeup-or get dressed, order a meal in public, or purchase a vehicle-consider that your decision may not be as personalized as you may think."it's really just an inborn response, one that can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd." says Rutledge.
32．According to the first paragraph, a beauty blind person might
A.oppose makeup trends publicly
B.follow makeup trends uncritically
C.rely on social media for makeup advice
D.take risks with untested beauty products
33．What's a primary motivation of trend following
A.Financial profit. B.Social connection.
C.Artistic expression. D.Character weakness.
34．Which can best replace the underlined words “exempt from” in paragraph 4
A.Free of. B.Subject to.
C.Exposed to. D.Concerned about.
35．What might Rutledge think of trend following
A.It's a personalized choice.
B.It mirrors people's mental health
C.It results from lack of self-confidence.
D.It's a natural response to social signals

54．Kwan’s Secret Talent
"Kwan, isn’t that your art teacher " his grandmother said, pointing at a woman walking out of the grocery store.
Kwan waved, and Mrs. Gibbs walked over to him and his grandmother. "It’s very nice to see you," Mrs. Gibbs said. Then she saw the cloths wrapped around the groceries Kwan and his grandmother were loading into their car. "Oh, how beautiful!" she exclaimed.
"Thank you. These are our hometown wrapping cloths," grandmother explained. "Kwan and I embroidered(刺绣)them together."
Kwan looked away. Although he enjoyed helping grandmother make the cloths, he didn’t want anyone at school to know about it.
"Kwan, you should bring your cloths to school tomorrow. Your classmates would enjoy seeing them. You have a unique skill," Mrs. Gibbs said.
Kwan appreciated his teacher’s comments, but he was hesitant. The kids might laugh at the idea of a boy who liked to stitch(缝)patterns with a needle and thread. He thought about his grandmother’s wide smile that showed how proud of him she would be for sharing this custom.
"O.K. I’ll bring some to class tomorrow," Kwan replied quietly.
Grandma sensed that something was wrong. "Kwan, are you worried about tomorrow " she asked.
Kwan stared at the floor. "What are the other kids going to think " he said. "This isn’t the kind of thing they do for fun. Creating embroidered patterns isn’t like playing an instrument or a sport."
"You’re right," Grandma said. "It is different. But that is why it is so special." Then she brought out a fine cloth with different designs. "When your grandfather and I were married, we received a gift from his mother wrapped in this cloth she made. In our culture, gifts given in wrapping cloths are extra special because they are a symbol of love and good luck." she explained.
注意:

解析：Welcome everyone to the London Museum of Ancient Eastern Art. We haven't been receiving school groups for long. In fact, you are one of the first groups, so your advice is welcome. We will try our best to guide you around the rooms and tell you about the amazing objects inside. Please feel free to have some food or drinks before we get in, (18) and you can buy some gifts from the store to your right during the tour. Then, take a look at your brochures, which show the map of the building and where all the exhibits are. (19) There is also information about the history of this museum. Construction of the biggest and oldest room, Langston Gallery, began under Sir Charles Langston. (20) This is where we will be spending the majority of our time. Unfortunately, he never got the chance to see the museum completed in his lifetime. Later, other people took over the project upon his death, and finished it ten years later in 1895. (20) The museum you see today took shape in 1905, with the addition of a second floor. We will not be going there, since it contains the special collection. You must book an appointment if you wish to see any of the items contained within it.

54．答案： The next morning, Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school. During art class, his heart raced, knowing Mrs. Gibbs would eventually call on him. Just as he hoped time might run out, he heard his name. Kwan walked to the front, his face flushed. Taking a deep breath, he carefully unfolded the cloths, and the vibrant patterns immediately caught everyone’s attention. Encouraged by their interest, Kwan began to explain the cultural meaning behind the patterns. For a moment, there was silence, but instead of teasing, curious hands shot into the air. “This must have taken forever to make!” one student exclaimed. Another added, “You’ve got serious talent, Kwan.”
As Kwan listened to his classmates, he noticed his forehead no longer felt hot. His initial unease had vanished as their sincere compliments reached him. They even asked him to teach them embroidery. The class soon turned into a workshop with Kwan guiding them how to stitch. Some wanted to use the special cloth to carry their lunch, but soon realized they needed practice if they didn’t want their sandwiches ending up on the sidewalk. “Folding these cloths is another talent,” Mrs. Gibbs laughed as her own cloth came undone. Embracing the moment, Kwan realized that sharing his craft wasn’t something to be embarrassed about—it was a way to connect with others and to share a meaningful part of his culture.
