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（基因組）. 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.
C
One morning in June 1986, I placed an empty snail shell into a tide pool on Long Island. A hermit crab（寄居蟹）came by, inspected the shell, and quickly exchanged it for its old one. Soon another crab found the abandoned shell, did the same, and moved on. About 10 minutes later a third crab found the second's old home and claimed its prize, leaving behind its damaged one.
It may seem strange, but these small creatures are making use of what sociologists call a "vacancy chain（空缺鏈）"—an organized method of exchanging resources in which every individual benefits by claiming a more desirable possession abandoned by another individual. Recent studies have revealed two types of vacancy chains in hermit crabs: synchronous and asynchronous. In the asynchronous type（like what I observed）, usually one crab at a time comes across a vacant shell without other crabs nearby. But in synchronous chains, they line up by size behind the one examining a vacant shell. Once it moves into the new shell, the others quickly follow, each taking the better-suited shelter in line.
Though research on vacancy chains in animals beyond hermit crabs is limited, early evidence suggests that the strategy has evolved widespread. Humans follow the same pattern. Studies in 1960s Manhattan showed how new apartments triggered a chain reaction, allowing many families to upgrade their housing. Car dealers in the early 20th century adopted a similar system, trading in old cars to facilitate new sales. Vacancy chains highlight that resource distribution is not just about competition but also about the efficient transfer of resources, shedding light on issues like housing shortages and even crime.
Not long ago, I returned to the beach where my observations began. Watching the hermit crabs crawl through the tide pool, I felt grateful and delighted, realizing that some patterns of our social life are so fundamental that we even share them with rather primitive creatures.
28. Where was the second crab's original shell according to paragraph 1
A. It was taken by the first crab. B. It was exchanged with a snail.
C. It was occupied by the third crab. D. It was left behind in the tide pool.
29. Which of the following is correct about the two kinds of chains
A. Asynchronous chains occur only in animals.
B. Asynchronous chains involve fighting over resources.
C. Synchronous chains involve crabs queuing up by age.
D. Synchronous chains occur when crabs gather in the same place.
30. Which of the following can set off a "vacancy chain"
A. Winning a bet. B. Storing canned food.
C. Selling old vehicles for new ones. D. Buying disposable plastic bottles.
31. What does the passage imply about the significance of studying vacancy chains
A. It may suggest new ways to care for crabs.
B. It may reveal how competition is stimulated.
C. It may highlight the importance of saving resources.
D. It may give insights into human resource distribution.
D
A bestseller by Giulia Enders explores the fascinating world of the human digestive system and its profound impact on overall health. One of the key takeaways is the idea that the gut（腸）is not just a digestion machine, but a complex and intelligent organ that influences our immune system, brain function, and emotional well-being.
The book explores the gut-brain connection, explaining how the gut communicates with the brain and can influence mood and behavior, highlighting the link between gut health and mental conditions like anxiety and depression. Enders also explains how the gut's nervous system functions independently of the brain and why it's often called the "second brain."
Another key point is the impact of diet on gut health. Enders advises incorporating fiber-rich foods, fermented products（like yogurt）, and probiotics（good bacteria）into our diet to nourish beneficial gut bacteria. She also warns against the overuse of antibiotics（抗生素）, which can upset the balance of gut bacteria and lead to digestive disorders.
The book also provides insight into common digestive problems and breaks down how these issues can be managed or prevented by making simple lifestyle changes, like eating slowly and managing stress. Enders explains the digestive process in a simple and engaging way, highlighting the importance of a healthy gut and offers practical advice on supporting its function, such as avoiding overly processed foods and eating mindfully.
Enders also touches on the significance of the immune system in the gut, where a large portion of immune cells reside. A healthy gut microbiome（腸道微生物組）can strengthen the immune response, while an imbalanced gut may lead to increased risk to infections and autoimmune diseases.
Enders successfully makes the science of the gut accessible and relatable, showing that by understanding how this often-overlooked organ works, we can make informed choices that significantly improve our health and happiness.
32. What does the underlined word "takeaways" in paragraph 1 mean
A. Differences. B. Conclusions. C. Causes. D. Goals.
33. What does the author might agree with
A. An unhealthy gut will definitely lead to immune disorders.
B. The gut's nervous system interrelates with the brain in its function.
C. Eating slowly or managing stress helps avoid some digestive problems.
D. The more fiber we include in our diet, the healthier our gut will become.
34. Which one can best serve as the title of the book by Giulia Enders
A. Gut Health Is Above Wealth.
B. Eat Your Way to Good Health.
C. Immune System: A Deciding Factor in Overall Health.
D. Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ.
35. What is the text
A. A book review. B. A research paper.
C. An advertisement for a book. D. A chapter of a book.
第二節（共5小題; 每小題2.5分, 滿分12.5分）
閱讀下面短文, 從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
When you get up in the morning, what is the first thing that you tend to do By chance, is it to check notifications on a cell phone 36 That usually means using the newest technology in nearly every aspect of life.
37 One sensible approach is to set goals, use time limits, and avoid letting any single medium or electronic platform take up the lion's share of your time.
One major impact of advanced technology has been the change in the way people read. After centuries of reading the printed page, people now do much of their reading on various kinds of screens for the reason that the shift is convenient and cost-effective. 38 One concern is that light from computer and phone screens can eventually cause teary eyes. In addition, recent research has found advantages to reading on paper. Professor Virginia Clinton of the University of North Dakota examined results from 33 studies on reading. This research indicates that students demonstrated better comprehension when reading on paper rather than on screens. 39 It simply suggests that reading on paper has not yet lost its value.
How often do people find themselves watching videos or using websites only to find that hours have passed with their original goal unfulfilled That is because designers use artificial intelligence to create video feeds and music streaming programs that absorb your attention for as long as possible. Therefore, it is more important than ever to be able to take a step back. 40 In doing so, it can give them back their time and sense of agency.
A. Sometimes, small changes can go a long way.
B. That does not mean to never read on a phone.
C. The value of it often depends on the judgment of the user.
D. However, some people choose to read on paper when possible.
E. For many, keeping up with the most current information is a must.
F. Sometimes, though, constant connectivity can become a bit overwhelming.
G. Users should establish reasonable usage time limits based on their actual needs.

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（刺繡）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（縫）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. 續寫詞數應為 150 左右;

應用文 One possible version:
Dear Chris,
How's it going I can`t wait to share an exciting experience from our biology class with you!
Last week, our teacher organized a fun activity where we learned about how to make radish pickles from scratch! First, we prepared fresh radishes and then mixed the right concentration of saltwater. After that, we carefully put the radishes in jars and poured the saltwater over them, making sure everything was covered. After sealing the jars, we set them aside to let the fermentation do its magic! The room was full of laughter and curiosity with our teacher guiding us through every step. It felt like a fun cooking session rather than a biology lesson! I can't wait to try the pickles when they're ready!
I loved seeing science come to life, especially in such a tasty way! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Li Hua
續寫 One possible version:
Paragraph 1: 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.”
Paragraph 2: 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.
答案詳解:
A篇是一篇應用文, 280詞, 是有助于英語學習者學習英語的4本詞典的介紹, 為學生提供英語課外學習的資源, 用科學有效的方法提升詞匯量, 同時規避一些表達錯誤。
21. D. 細節理解題。根據第三段第一句話“a practical guide to common errors and their correction.” 可知, 這本詞典是常見錯誤及如何糾正錯誤的實用指南。
22. C. 細節理解題。根據第四段“to teach the most useful word-building roots to help you continue expanding your vocabulary in the future”可知, 第三本詞典可以教會學生詞根, 從而幫助拓寬詞匯量。
23. A. 細節理解題。 根據最后一段“Pay special attention to the Chapter Review! Are the words still fresh in your mind Do you remember the meaning of each word studied in the previous sessions In these Reviews, you are not only testing your learning but also tightening up any areas in which you discover gaps, weaknesses, or forgetfulness.”可知, 復習對于英語學習很有益處。
B篇是一篇說明文, 282詞。主要介紹了音樂家貝多芬常年受疾病折磨（包括耳聾等）的主要原因是鉛中毒。文章還提到通過對他頭發的DNA分析, 檢測出他患肝病的遺傳風險很高, 且他體內含有砷, 汞, 讓我們更進一步了解了貝多芬的疾病狀況。
24. B. 細節理解題。通過一段“suggest that the composer had lead poisoning, which may have contributed to illness he endured over the course of his life.” 研究結果發現, 貝多芬可能是鉛中毒導致了他長期受疾病困擾。
25. C. 細節理解題 通過第二段最后一句“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.”可知, 找出貝多芬的病因一直是一個復雜的問題, 貝多芬本人也一直希望醫生能幫助他找到病因。
26. D. 細節理解題。通過第三段“The findings, published in a March 2023 report, revealed that Beethoven had significant genetic risk factors for liver disease.”內容可知, 通過對他頭發的DNA分析, 檢測出他患肝病的遺傳風險很高。
27. D. 推理判斷題。通過對文章結構和大意梳理, 文章第一段得出關于貝多芬病因的結論是鉛中毒, 第三段又提出通過他頭發的 DNA 分析, 檢測出他患肝病的遺傳風險很高。最后一段又指出最新發現他的頭發里面含有砷和汞, 最后一段最后一句“The surprising insights could provide new windows into Beethoven`s persistent health problems.”表明了這些發現幫助我們更好地了解貝多芬的病因。
C篇是說明文, 329詞, 本文作者描述了在1986年6月的一次觀察, 講述了寄居蟹如何利用“空缺鏈” 這資源交換機制來交換殼。在觀察中, 寄居蟹通過交換殼體實現資源的有效分配。文章提到寄居蟹的兩種交換模式: 同步和異步, 并比較了人類社會中的類似現象, 如住房和汽車交易中出現的連鎖反應。作者反思這些模式的普遍性, 表達了人與自然之間的某種聯系和相似性。
28. C. 細節理解題。對第一段寄居蟹換殼的細節考察, 由“About 10 minutes later a third crab found the second`s old home and claimed its prize（珍貴的東西）,…”可知, 第二只原來的殼被第三只換走。
29. D. 細節理解題。進一步考察第二段兩種交換模式的理解。由“In the asynchronous type（like what I observed）, usually one crab at a time comes across a vacant shell without other crabs nearby. But in synchronous chains, they line up by size behind the one examining a vacant shell. Once it moves into the new shell, the others quickly follow, each taking the better-suited shelter in line.”可知, 異步交換是像作者第一段描述的那樣, 一次只有一只找到殼并換殼, 而同步交換是多只寄居蟹按大小排列后依序換“房”。
30. C. 推理判斷題。考察學生對“vacancy chain”的理解并運用于實際。文中第二段提到定義“an organized method of exchanging resources in which every individual benefits by claiming a more desirable possession abandoned by another individual.”可知這是一種有序有效的資源置換方式, 在鏈條中的每一個個體都獲益。第三段說人類也遵循類似模式, 并舉例“Car dealers in the early 20th century adopted a similar system, trading in old cars to facilitate new sales. ”可知汽車經銷商也會通過以舊換新的方式促進新車銷售, 說明舊車的賣出會引發“空缺鏈”, 使得鏈條中的人更新已有車輛, 從資源置換中獲益。A 選項, 在打賭中只有一方獲利, 不符合。B 選項囤積罐裝食品, 未制造出空缺鏈, 沒有發生資源置換。D 選項購買一次性瓶子, 沒有資源置換。
31. D. 歸納總結題。由第三段“Vacancy chains highlight that resource distribution is not just about competition but also about the efficient transfer of resources, shedding light on issues like housing shortages and even crime.”可知答案。
D篇是一篇書評, 316詞, Giulia Enders的暢銷書《腸道: 我們身體最被低估的器官的內幕》探討了人類消化系統的迷人世界及其對整體健康的深遠影響。腸道被稱為人的第二大腦, 對人的情緒健康, 免疫系統等影響巨大。
32. B. 詞義猜測題。根據詞出現的語境以及第二段和第三段開頭介紹書的詞語如“The book explores”“another key point is—”可以推出, 這是對文章要點結論的總結。
33. C. 細節理解題。根據第四段第二句“Enders breaks down how these issues can be managed or prevented by making simple lifestyle changes, like eating slowly and managing stress.”內容可知, 通過改變一些生活習慣比如吃慢一點或者管理好壓力有利于防止一些消化問題的出現。
34. D. 主旨大意題。根據文章書評的內容, 把握文章大意, 從而判斷出書名。文章主要是講了腸道在人體的重要功能和對其他方面健康的意義, 它并不是人們通常認為的只是一個消化食物器官, 它有著復雜而智能的神經系統, 且對人整體健康影響很大。
35. A. 推理判斷題。 通過第一段內容“A bestseller by Giulia Enders”和文章每一段的開頭“The book explores”類似表達和文章整體內容可以看出來, 文章是對一本書進行介紹和評論。
七選五: 文章是一篇議論文, 268詞。建議在高科技生活時代, 我們還是應該合理利用電子產品, 設置恰當的使用時間, 以免生活完全被電子產品所控制。
36. E. 對前面兩句問句“what is the first thing that you tend to do By chance, is it to check notifications on a cell phone or a watch ”的回答, 很多人是會在起床后第一時間去看手機的。
37. F. 考察因果邏輯關系。后一句提出了一個明智的方法是---“One sensible approach is to”, 可知, 前面一句是提出這個問題, 且這個句子承上啟下, 雖然經常網絡在線這個問題有點難以抗拒, 但是還有有一個明智的方法。
38. D. 根據后一句“One concern is that light from computer and phone screens can eventually cause teary, overworked eyes”以及后面research結果表明, 很多人還是會選擇傳統書本。
39. B. 根據語境和后一句 “It simply suggests that”可知, 前面并不是說不推薦在電子產品上閱讀, 而是說傳統書本也還是有價值的。
40. G. 考察結論句, 根據前一句“take a step back.”和后一句“In doing so, it can give them back their time and sense of agency. ”可知, 我們應該根據自己需求, 適當限制電子產品使用時間。
完形填空: 記敘文, 326詞。文章講述了一對性格各異好朋友的互相成就的感人故事, 其中Cameron患有腦癱, 但是他熱愛運動, 以后想當教練, 他的好朋友Mack幫組他一起參加跑步比賽, 雖然自己未能贏得比賽, 但是感到非常值得和自豪, 他們的友誼在跑步比賽中得到了持續發展。
41. A. 由文章后文可知, Mack和Cameron都喜歡運動。
42. B. 根據前文typical high school friends和后文“or rather, extraordinary.”可知, 他們的友誼與別人不一樣。
43. A. 此處是同位語, condition表示疾病。
44. D. 根據文意, Cameron患腦癱, 通過復雜的電腦系統對他的眼部運動做出反應從而與人溝通。
45. C. 根據前文, Cameron喜歡運動, 他很有可能長大想當一個體育教練。
46. C. 考察serve as 擔任, 充當。
47. B. 根據前文, 兩個人自幼是好朋友, 現在是形影不離了inseparable 不可分離的。
48. A. 根據后一句, 我喜歡考好分數, 喜歡學習。Bookish 書生氣的, 好學的
49. C. 考察文章核心詞匯, Mack和Cameron是好朋友
50. B. 跑步屬于徑賽, 考察 track詞匯識記。
51. D. 考察短語team up組隊合作, 根據后文可知, Mack用輪椅推著Cameron跑步。
52. A. 考察態度短語, care about 在乎, Mack根本不在乎自己的跑步成績, 而是重視他們的友誼。
53. D. 隨著賽季的進行, season這里指的是賽季, progress 表示進行, 推進
54. C. 雖然沒有得到第一名, 他們也打敗了一些人, 所以他很自豪地說。
55. B. 考察 finish特殊用法, 指在比賽中獲得名次或成績。
語法填空 記敘文, 217 詞。文章介紹了白俄羅斯人 Volha Halpyarovich 體驗了中國傳統中醫拔火罐治療的故事, 從而對中醫有了更深入的理解和認識。
56. involving 現在分詞做后置定語修飾 technique

M: Well, the new Sea Life Center at Plymouth is an extremely exciting place. There are so many things to see and everything is enjoyable as well as educational.
17Special attractions for children include a quiz and hourly feeding times for all the different animals and fish starting at 9:30. You can see everything here from the most enormous sea creatures to the smallest.
18Every morning from 10:00 there are slide and video shows for children in the sea life theater, and someone is always there to answer questions about what you`ve seen.19If you are in a group of six or more people, they can give you a special guided tour of the center. But you need to arrange this at the information desk when you arrive. 20The latest attraction at the center is a big glass tunnel you can walk through; all around you, you will see enormous fish swimming—sometimes even over your head. You certainly have the clearest possible view of the world beneath the waves. 20Children love it and it`s really amazing for adults too!
When you get hungry, there is a relaxed family dining area serving snacks, cold drinks and ice creams. Near the main entrance there is an excellent bookshop and there`s also a souvenir shop selling all kinds of things connected with the sea. So I warmly recommend this visit.
