Back in 2020: One day, I was scheduling appointments in the office; the next, I broke my leg and had to stay in bed. Over time, I grew sick of video conferencing and TV marathons, and started searching for something new to fill the long and restless days.
A headline on a website caught my eyes: “This Weaving Loom (织布机) Saved Me When All My Previous Hobbies Disappeared.” This was the universe speaking to me. I immediately bought all the things recommended—a small loom, a few colors of threads (线) and a weaving book.
My first weaving looked...not great. I skipped the book and free-styled a pink-and-white cloth to hang on my apartment door. It started off OK; I strung the loom successfully and figured out how to slide the threaded needle over and under the backbone of the cloth.
Then, mistake after mistake, I pulled the thread way too tight, making the sides curve in. There were lots of gaps, where I could see the white threads underneath the colored ones. I couldn’t make the long fringe (穗) at the bottom. In a fit of frustration, I left it a mess.
Humbled by my pride, I opened the weaving book. I learned how to get my edges straight and my ends neat. I figured out how to sew backs onto cloths, stuff them with cotton and make colorful pillows to display on my sofa. Soon I started making some for my families and friends. I even saved up money to buy a 4-by-4-foot loom, where I worked on bigger objects.
I was officially taken with it. Actually, I’ve never been good at anything that requires hand-eye-brain cooperation. But weaving, somehow, feels different. It requires the same steps repeated over again and encourages you to lose yourself in the process. Every time I pick up my loom, my brain quiets down; as my needle slips between threads, I ground myself. I’ve never loved a hobby like this.
4. Why did the author buy a loom
A. To pass the time. B. To try out an idea. C. To escape from work. D. To replace marathons.
5. What did the author think of her first weaving
A. Boring. B. Pleasing. C. Disappointing. D. Encouraging.
6. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The value of the weaving book. B. The advice for weaving beginners.
C. The attitude towards previous mistakes. D. The process of growing love for weaving.
7. What does the author seem to love about weaving
A. It is a means to make a living. B. It is a craft with calming quality.
C. It is a way to keep traditions alive. D. It is a practice for human connection.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B

Latest genetic analysis of Ludwig van Beethoven’s hair has revealed that the composer had a high genetic risk for liver (肝) disease, which could have contributed to his death. The discovery contradicts the widely-believed suggestion that the composer died from lead poisoning, but does not shed light on how he came to lose his hearing.
Tristan Begg at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues have analysed the DNA of eight locks of hair claimed to come from Beethoven’s head to see if it could explain the composer’s health issues. To make sure the hair actually came from Beethoven, researchers first examined the paperwork for each lock and used DNA analysis to determine the age of the samples. “For DNA samples from the last few centuries, you’ll tend to see the accumulation of damage patterns,” says Begg. “You want to see these patterns consistent with the documented age of the samples.” Then they compared the DNA of the eight locks. The combination of these methods led them to conclude that five of them were from Beethoven.
Examining the DNA data, the researchers found that the composer had a high genetic risk for liver disease. Begg says this risk would be relatively benign for most people, but Beethoven’s reportedly high alcohol consumption would have increased the likelihood that he developed the condition. Begg says this finding, combined with information from examining his dead body, suggests that cirrhosis, a serious liver disease, could have led to Beethoven’s death.
Previous analysis of Beethoven’s hair samples suggested he had lead poisoning, but this study reveals that the earlier work was done on hair from a woman. “This kind of genetic study of a famous individual is fascinating. We hope that by making Beethoven’s genetic data publicly available for researchers, remaining questions about his health and genealogy (家谱) can someday be answered,” Begg said.
8. What did the latest research find about Beethoven
A. Lead poisoning led to his death. B. His gene determined his deafness.
C. Too much alcohol ruined his health. D. He probably died from liver disease.
9. How did researchers ensure the hair came from Beethoven
A. By combining different DNA samples. B. By examining and collecting paperwork.
C. By analyzing and comparing genetic data. D. By documenting consistent damage patterns.
10. What does the underlined word “benign” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Harmless. B. Unacceptable. C. Additional. D. Significant.
11. What can we learn about genetic analysis from the last paragraph
A. It may make mistakes sometimes. B. It can clear up misunderstandings.
C. It needs to be more accessible. D. It remains to be improved.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了对路德维希·范·贝多芬头发的最新基因分析显示，这位作曲家患肝病的遗传风险很高，这可能是导致他死亡的原因之一。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Latest genetic analysis of Ludwig van Beethoven’s hair has revealed that the composer had a high genetic risk for liver (肝) disease, which could have contributed to his death. (对路德维希·范·贝多芬头发的最新基因分析显示，这位作曲家患肝病的遗传风险很高，这可能是导致他死亡的原因之一。)”可知，最新研究发现，贝多芬可能死于肝病。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“To make sure the hair actually came from Beethoven, researchers first examined the paperwork for each lock and used DNA analysis to determine the age of the samples...Then they compared the DNA of the eight locks. The combination of these methods led them to conclude that five of them were from Beethoven.(为了确保这些头发确实来自贝多芬，研究人员首先检查了每一个头发的文件，并使用 DNA 分析来确定样本的年龄……然后他们比对了八个头发的DNA。这些方法的结合使他们得出结论，其中有五个来自贝多芬。)”可知，研究人员通过分析和比较遗传数据来确保头发是自贝多芬的，故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词所在句子“Begg says this risk would be relatively benign for most people, but Beethoven’s reportedly high alcohol consumption would have increased the likelihood that he developed the condition. (贝格说，对大多数人来说，这种风险相对benign，但据报道，贝多芬的高酒精摄入量会增加他患上这种疾病的可能性。)”可知，but前后是转折关系，对大多数人来说，这种风险是无害的，但对于贝多芬来说，会增加他患上这种疾病的可能性，由此可推知，划线单词benign意为“无害的”，故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Previous analysis of Beethoven’s hair samples suggested he had lead poisoning, but this study reveals that the earlier work was done on hair from a woman. “This kind of genetic study of a famous individual is fascinating. We hope that by making Beethoven’s genetic data publicly available for researchers, remaining questions about his health and genealogy (家谱) can someday be answered,” Begg said.(之前对贝多芬头发样本的分析表明他是铅中毒，但是这项研究表明早期的工作是对一个女人的头发进行的。“对一个著名人物的这种基因研究令人着迷。我们希望通过向研究人员公开贝多芬的基因数据，有朝一日关于他的健康和家谱的遗留问题能够得到解答。”Begg说)”可推知，遗传分析可以消除一些误解，故选B。

The tomato leafminer moth originates from Peru and is common throughout South America. However, it has spread through Europe since 2007 and has become one of the largest pests in Mediterranean regions, threatening food supplies. Experts around the world are currently struggling with new ways to battle the moth, but it has developed resistance to pesticides (杀虫剂), leaving farmers helpless to stop the damage. Now a new study from the University of Portsmouth has shown that an answer may lie in the tropical tent-web spider.
Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs which easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. The tropical tent-web spider operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs to capture bugs. Dr. Lena Grinsted, the lead author of the study, said, “Spiders can provide large surface areas of capture webs capable of catching insects in the air. This could potentially lead to a reduction of reliance on chemical pesticides, resulting in less pollution in soils, waterways and food chains in the future.”
Crop damage is also caused by the larvae (幼虫), which directly attack the tomato fruit, making the crop ugly and thus unmarketable. Larvae live inside the leaf until they begin the process of turning into a moth, making them difficult to control. However, scientists expect that by targeting the adult moth population, it will reduce the number of eggs being laid. In addition, the spiders build the biggest webs during the summer months, which will benefit the tomato planting and growing season in May and June.
The researchers said the study will “open doors for the use of group-living spiders to control agricultural pests”, but warned that more work was needed to check the spiders did not change the ecology of regions. Dr. Grinsted added, “Future studies are now needed to investigate whether the spiders may negatively impact crop pollination (授粉) by also catching bees and other key pollinators.”
12. Why is it difficult to get rid of the moth according to Paragraph 1
A. It is large in size. B. It is drug-resistant.
C. It spreads too quickly. D. It threatens food supply.
13. What makes using the spiders to control pests possible
A. Their ability to weave huge webs. B. The reduction of pest-control cost.
C. Their importance in the food chain. D. The pollution of chemical pesticides.
14. How do scientists plan to deal with the larvae
A. By destroying the eggs. B. By reducing food supply.
C. By controlling the source. D. By stopping them hatching.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Moths: The Biggest Threat to Crops B. Moths: A Species Difficult to Control
C. Spiders: The Future of Modern Agriculture D. Spiders: An Eco-friendly Alternative to Drugs
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs which easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. The tropical tent-web spider operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs to capture bugs(科学家们进行了实验室测试，发现蜘蛛结合在一起形成网，很容易抓住飞行的昆虫，然后吃掉它们。热带帐篷蜘蛛以大群为单位活动，可以形成巨大的连接网来捕捉虫子)”可知，热带帐篷蜘蛛有能力形成巨大的连接网来捕捉虫子，这使得控制害虫有了可能性，故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, scientists expect that by targeting the adult moth population, it will reduce the number of eggs being laid.(然而，科学家们认为以成年蛾种群为目标，将减少产卵数量。)”可推理出科学家认为可以通过控制来源的方式对付幼虫，故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now a new study from the University of Portsmouth has shown that an answer may lie in the tropical tent-web spider.(现在，朴次茅斯大学大学的一项新研究表明，答案可能在于热带帐篷蜘蛛。)”、第二段“Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs which easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate(科学家们进行了实验室测试，发现蜘蛛结合在一起形成网，很容易抓住飞行的昆虫，然后吃掉它们。)”、倒数第二段“In addition, the spiders build the biggest webs during the summer months, which will benefit the tomato planting and growing season in May and June.(此外，蜘蛛在夏季会结出最大的网，这将有利于5月和6月的番茄种植和生长季节。)”以及最后一段“The researchers said the study will “open doors for the use of group-living spiders to control agricultural pests”(研究人员表示，这项研究将“为利用群居蜘蛛控制农业害虫打开大门”)”可知，本文主要讲的是科学研究发现采用热带帐篷蜘蛛替代杀虫剂控制害虫可能是一种重要方法，分析四个选项，D项“Spiders: An Eco-friendly Alternative to Drugs(蜘蛛：药物的环保替代品)”符合语境，故选D项。

【答案】Dear classmates,
Today, our English class had a discussion on the topic of whether frequency repetition plays a key role in learning English.
Some argued that frequent exposure and repetition help with memorization and understanding. They believe that repetition is an effective way to improve vocabulary and grammar. On the other hand, some classmates highlighted the importance of context and understanding. They believe that simply repeating words without understanding their meaning and usage might not contribute significantly to language learning.
This discussion has enlightened me to the fact that repetition alone may not guarantee effective language learning.

47. 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。
It was a dream born in fire. Andrea Peterson was 5 when she was trapped on the ledge (窗台) of a burning building.
“Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, whose eyes are firm and courageous, along with professional rescue techniques. Seeing this, little Andrea jumped into lifesaving arms and a life-long ambition: She wanted to fight fires as her rescuers did.
She told that to the men who had saved her, and they laughed naturally the way grown-ups do when a kid says he wants to be an astronaut or a sports star. But this was back in a time when little girls weren’t even allowed to fantasize (幻想) about such grand goals.
“You’ll be a good mommy,” the firemen told her. “You’ll be a good teacher, maybe you’ll be a nurse, but you can never be a fireman.”
Indeed, life sidelined her ambitious dream. She was studying for a degree in aviation technology (航空科技) and that’s where she met her husband, Dennis. Unfortunately, Dennis was diagnosed with cancer. Peterson spent 31 years caring for the man she loved, and in 2007, when Dennis was about to leave, he was at peace but worried for her. “But what are you going to do ” “I’ll be fine,” she told him.
At 61, she attended a course for emergencies. She went on an ambulance ride-along from time to time. It turned out to be a life-and-death situation, which reminded her of the childhood experience back in the fire. But every time she saw people who were in need were successfully rescued, Peterson felt that long-ago childhood calling. She earned her emergency medical technician license and responded to fire calls with the ambulance. She found that her years of tending to Dennis had prepared her for dealing with the variety of hurts and ills. The inside calling echoed increasingly stronger.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 After a year, she signed up for a training unit for firefighters. No sooner had she stepped into the training venue than she found all her classmates were 18-22 young kids. “Could I really make it ” Peterson thought to herself, struggling. At the very moment, she was once again thought of the firm and courageous eyes of the firefighters who came to rescue her over 50 years ago. She instantly rolled up her sleeves and began to learn both theoretical and practical knowledge as her much younger peers.
Finally came the written and physical fitness test day. For Peterson, she was at an advantageous situation for the theoretical part, as her past rescue experiences on ambulance ride-along made her a qualified rescuer already. However, the 3-km running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc. all behaved as huge gaps awaiting her to conquer. Though she ranked the last among such items, her persistence, endurance as well as the passion for a childhood dream made her name appear on the list of newly-announced firefighters. This time, tears blurred her eyes, as the dream born in the fire was eventually fulfilled.

Back in 2020: One day, I was scheduling appointments in the office; the next, I broke my leg and had to stay in bed. Over time, I grew sick of video conferencing and TV marathons, and started searching for something new to fill the long and restless days.
A headline on a website caught my eyes: “This Weaving Loom (织布机) Saved Me When All My Previous Hobbies Disappeared.” This was the universe speaking to me. I immediately bought all the things recommended—a small loom, a few colors of threads (线) and a weaving book.
My first weaving looked..not great. I skipped the book and free-styled a pink-and-white cloth to hang on my apartment door. It started off OK; I strung the loom successfully and figured out how to slide the threaded needle over and under the backbone of the cloth.
Then, mistake after mistake, I pulled the thread way too tight, making the sides curve in. There were lots of gaps, where I could see the white threads underneath the colored ones. I couldn’t make the long fringe (穗) at the bottom. In a fit of frustration, I left it a mess.
Humbled by my pride, I opened the weaving book. I learned how to get my edges straight and my ends neat. I figured out how to sew backs onto cloths, stuff them with cotton and make colorful pillows to display on my sofa. Soon I started making some for my families and friends. I even saved up money to buy a 4-by-4-foot loom, where I worked on bigger objects.
I was officially taken with it. Actually, I’ve never been good at anything that requires hand-eye-brain cooperation. But weaving, somehow, feels different. It requires the same steps repeated over again and encourages you to lose yourself in the process. Every time I pick up my loom, my brain quiets down; as my needle slips between threads, I ground myself. I’ve never loved a hobby like this.
4. Why did the author buy a loom
A. To pass the time. B. To try out an idea. C. To escape from work. D. To replace marathons.
5. What did the author think of her first weaving
A. Boring. B. Pleasing. C. Disappointing. D. Encouraging.
6. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The value of the weaving book. B. The advice for weaving beginners.
C. The attitude towards previous mistakes. D. The process of growing love for weaving.
7. What does the author seem to love about weaving
A. It is a means to make a living. B. It is a craft with calming quality.
C It is a way to keep traditions alive. D. It is a practice for human connection.

Latest genetic analysis of Ludwig van Beethoven’s hair has revealed that the composer had a high genetic risk for liver (肝) disease, which could have contributed to his death. The discovery contradicts the widely-believed suggestion that the composer died from lead poisoning, but does not shed light on how he came to lose his hearing.
Tristan Begg at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues have analysed the DNA of eight locks of hair claimed to come from Beethoven’s head to see if it could explain the composer’s health issues. To make sure the hair actually came from Beethoven, researchers first examined the paperwork for each lock and used DNA analysis to determine the age of the samples. “For DNA samples from the last few centuries, you’ll tend to see the accumulation of damage patterns,” says Begg. “You want to see these patterns consistent with the documented age of the samples.” Then they compared the DNA of the eight locks. The combination of these methods led them to conclude that five of them were from Beethoven.
Examining the DNA data, the researchers found that the composer had a high genetic risk for liver disease. Begg says this risk would be relatively benign for most people, but Beethoven’s reportedly high alcohol consumption would have increased the likelihood that he developed the condition. Begg says this finding, combined with information from examining his dead body, suggests that cirrhosis, a serious liver disease, could have led to Beethoven’s death.
Previous analysis of Beethoven’s hair samples suggested he had lead poisoning, but this study reveals that the earlier work was done on hair from a woman. “This kind of genetic study of a famous individual is fascinating. We hope that by making Beethoven’s genetic data publicly available for researchers, remaining questions about his health and genealogy (家谱) can someday be answered,” Begg said.
8. What did the latest research find about Beethoven
A. Lead poisoning led to his death. B. His gene determined his deafness.
C. Too much alcohol ruined his health. D. He probably died from liver disease.
9. How did researchers ensure the hair came from Beethoven
A. By combining different DNA samples. B. By examining and collecting paperwork.
C. By analyzing and comparing genetic data. D. By documenting consistent damage patterns.
10. What does the underlined word “benign” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Harmless. B. Unacceptable. C. Additional. D. Significant.
11. What can we learn about genetic analysis from the last paragraph
A. It may make mistakes sometimes. B. It can clear up misunderstandings.
C. It needs to be more accessible. D. It remains to be improved.
D
The tomato leafminer moth originates from Peru and is common throughout South America. However, it has spread through Europe since 2007 and has become one of the largest pests in Mediterranean regions, threatening food supplies. Experts around the world are currently struggling with new ways to battle the moth, but it has developed resistance to pesticides (杀虫剂), leaving farmers helpless to stop the damage. Now a new study from the University of Portsmouth has shown that an answer may lie in the tropical tent-web spider.
Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs which easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. The tropical tent-web spider operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs to capture bugs. Dr. Lena Grinsted, the lead author of the study, said, “Spiders can provide large surface areas of capture webs capable of catching insects in the air. This could potentially lead to a reduction of reliance on chemical pesticides, resulting in less pollution in soils, waterways and food chains in the future.”
Crop damage is also caused by the larvae (幼虫), which directly attack the tomato fruit, making the crop ugly and thus unmarketable. Larvae live inside the leaf until they begin the process of turning into a moth, making them difficult to control. However, scientists expect that by targeting the adult moth population, it will reduce the number of eggs being laid. In addition, the spiders build the biggest webs during the summer months, which will benefit the tomato planting and growing season in May and June.
The researchers said the study will “open doors for the use of group-living spiders to control agricultural pests”, but warned that more work was needed to check the spiders did not change the ecology of regions. Dr. Grinsted added, “Future studies are now needed to investigate whether the spiders may negatively impact crop pollination (授粉) by also catching bees and other key pollinators.”
12. Why is it difficult to get rid of the moth according to Paragraph 1
A It is large in size. B. It is drug-resistant.
C. It spreads too quickly. D. It threatens food supply.
13 What makes using the spiders to control pests possible
A. Their ability to weave huge webs. B. The reduction of pest-control cost.
C. Their importance in the food chain. D. The pollution of chemical pesticides.
14. How do scientists plan to deal with the larvae
A. By destroying the eggs. B. By reducing food supply.
C. By controlling the source. D. By stopping them hatching.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Moths: The Biggest Threat to Crops B. Moths: A Species Difficult to Control
C. Spiders: The Future of Modern Agriculture D. Spiders: An Eco-friendly Alternative to Drugs
