21、DNA from Beethoven’s hair is helping to uncover what may have caused his death, scientific researchers say.

The composer was troubled by health issues for most of his life. On March 26, 1827, he left the world with a puzzle as to what many historians doubted was his liver (肝脏) failure while in his apartment in Vienna. Now, an analysis of hairs passed down through his families and gathered by collectors shows that Beethoven carried several genetic factors for his liver disease, the scientists report on March 22, 2023 in Current Biology.

This increased the risk-paired with liver illness and the composer’s frequent alcohol drinking habits — may have burdened Beethoven’s younger death at the age of 56, says Tristan Begg, a biologist at the University of Cambridge in the UK.

It’s well-known that Beethoven’s storied legends career was cut short by his gradual hearing loss that left the composer completely deaf by age 45. Beethoven also suffered from stomach and a worsening liver. That faulty liver is thought to be responsible for the composer’s skin reportedly turning yellow in the summer of 1821.

The root cause of Beethoven’s terrible health issues has been a source of fascination to many. But working out what troubled a man that lived nearly two centuries ago is no easy task. Researchers have had to rely on notes from the composer.

Everything about Beethoven, his sensitivity, his understanding of the world, his unique wisdom and will, the unique construction method of the heavens for him, his ideals, his songs, as well as the unique substances in his body, his temperament, and so on, are all representatives of that particular times in Europe. A great man is the one overcome all the obstacles on the way in life.

【1】Where can you read the passage?

A．In an autobiography.

B．In a science report.

C．On a newspaper.

D．In a travel guide.

【2】When was Beethoven born according to the information provided?

A．1827.

B．1821.

C．1782.

D．1770.

【3】What has been a source of fascination for many people referred in the passage?

A．The reason for Beethoven’s health issues.

B．Beethoven’s talents in world famous music.

C．Things that caused Beethoven’s sensitivity.

D．His unique construction method of the heavens.

【4】What have caused Beethoven’s death?

A．His progressive deaf ears.

B．His deteriorating yellow skin.

C．His habit of drinking alcohol.

D．His bad illness on his liver.

22、The next time you need to get somewhere, you may be able to follow your nose. A study has found that a strong sense of smell is associated with a strong sense of direction.

Researchers conducted an experiment at McGill University in Canada. Fifty-seven adults were invited to participate in a virtual"way-finding task"in which they had to make their way around a virtual environment. They were given 20 minutes to learn about the virtual city. After having passed by each of eight landmarks at least twice, the participants were placed in front of one of the landmarks and asked to find the most direct route to one assigned by the researchers.

The participants also smelled 40 scented（有香气的）pens one at a time. After a brief sniff, the participants chose one word that best identified the smell from four words on a screen.

An additional exercise used a virtual maze（迷宫）to determine if the participants were more likely to rely on landmarks to find the way or if they used a more habit-based method built over time as people travelled the same route over and over again.

What the researchers found was that those with the ability to correctly identify the smells of the pens also had the easiest time performing the way-finding task by way of landmarks. A strong sense of smell was not identified in the participants who used the more habit-based method.

The connection between the sense of smell and way-finding likely came about as a result of the evolution of the nervous system. The original function of the sense of smell in humans may have been intended to support our spatial memory.

Keep that in mind the next time you get lost going to the dentist. It won't prevent you from getting horribly lost, but it's good food for thought along the way.

【1】How did the researchers carry out the study?

A．By using typical landmarks in a real city.

B．By combining virtual tests with real-life tests.

C．By testing different senses in a virtual environment.

D．By collecting routine observation data from the participants.

【2】What were the participants asked to do after they smelled a scented pen?

A．Decide whether they liked the smell.

B．Use a sentence to describe the smell.

C．Choose a suitable word for the smell.

D．Find the landmark that featured the smell.

【3】Which of the following factors is better related to a strong sense of direction according to paragraph 5?

A．The way of using landmarks.

B．More experience in describing things.

C．Quick adjustment to the virtual world.

D．A more habit-based way-finding method.

【4】The meaning of the word "spatial" underlined in Paragraph 6 relates to _____.

A．the situation

B．the position

C．the spirit

D．the time

23、Education is a good opportunity for those of us who try to better ourselves. For people in full-time employment, getting the balancing act between work and studying can prove a challenge. But look on the bright side. 【1】

University is often considered a logical step for people who wish to continue their education after school. While options of Master’s degrees, PhDs and other qualifications exist, many students leave after obtaining their Bachelor’s and head into the world of work. After years of doing the same job, some feel adding new knowledge to their locker may open up new opportunities. 【2】 Or they will have more new ideas.

In terms of the benefits, learning new skills that you can bring into the workplace can make you more of an authority in your area and a go-to person for advice. 【3】 In short, studying more could make you more useful to the business. If you study in a classroom, your experience of the workplace could bring a wealth of knowledge to other students and provide real-life examples for you to make use of. You may also meet like-minded people who you can add to your professional network in the future. Adult learners have to consider things like children, home lives and work. 【4】 Some courses can even be done partly or entirely online, which means that you can manage your time more easily studying from home.

【5】 And increasing your skills may open up new careers or opportunities in your professional life.

A．Or it helps them to get a promotion.

B．What are the benefits of studying while also working?

C．New opportunities don’t necessarily always wait for you.

D．Becoming a professional person is no big deal for your life.

E．All in all, there are a variety of options for those who wish to return to studying.

F．And if the business has a skills shortage, you may be able to step up and fill that gap.

G．Many adult and part-time courses are more flexible and spread over a number of years.

24、French surgeons have performed what they said on Wednesday was the world's first partial face transplant— giving a new nose, chin and lips to a woman attacked by a dog.

Specialists from two French hospitals carried out the operation on a 38-year-old woman on Sunday in the northern city of Amiens by taking the face from a brain-dead woman, who had hanged herself just hours before the operation. Her family agreed on the operation.

“The patient is in an excellent state and the transplant looks normal,” the hospitals said in a brief statement after waiting three days to announce the pioneering surgery.

The woman had been left without a nose and lips after the dog attacked her last May, and was unable to talk or chew properly. Such injuries are “extremely difficult, if not impossible” to repair using normal surgical techniques, the statement said.

The statement did not say what the woman would look like when she had fully recovered, but medical experts said she was unlikely to resemble the woman who had been the source of her new face.

The operation was led by Jean-Michel Dubernard, a specialist from a hospital in Lyon who has also carried out hand transplants.

Skin transplants have long been used to treat burns and other injuries, but operations around the mouth and nose have been considered very difficult because of the area's high sensitivity to foreign tissue.

Teams in France, the United States and Britain had been developing techniques to make face transplants a reality.

There was a short-term risk for the patient if blood vessels became blocked, a medium-term danger of her body rejecting the new skin and a long-term possibility that the drugs used could cause cancers.

Experts say that although such medical advances should be celebrated, the transplant had thrown up moral（道德的）and ethical(伦理的) issues. Little is known about the psychological effect of the transplant.

【1】The best title for the passage would be ________.

A. First Face Transplant Opens Debate

B. French Woman has First Partial Face Transplant

C. A Complete Face Transplant of a French Woman

D. Risks and Ethical Problems of a Face Transplant

【2】Which of the following is NOT one of the risks of the operation?

A. Heart damage.

B. Organ rejection

C. Block of blood vessels.

D. Side effect of the drugs.

【3】What can we learn about the operation?

A. There has arisen a debate about the operation.

B. The woman had used the dead woman' s whole face.

C. The woman will suffer from psychological damage soon.

D. Such transplants have been performed by doctors.
