The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian-American tradition that dates back to an immigration （移民）
wave in the 1900s. The Italian American tradition of the Feast of the Seven Fishes has appeared in movies and
recently in the hit show The Bear. But talking of the origin, you'll get many different answers. The Feast of the Seven
Fishes is a dear tradition to many Italian Americans who enjoy at least seven different seafood dishes on Christmas
Eve.
A vast majority of Italian immigrants to the United States were from rural Southern Italy at the turn of the 19th
century. They came to America because there were jobs from building railroads to skyscrapers. Friends and families
found success and brought their loved ones to the U. S. Some say fish was chosen for the Feast because it was
plentiful for impoverished families in Southern Italy. Others say the sea represented Italian Americans' connection
between their old and new homes.
Writer and director Robert Tinnell made a comic in 2004 about his experience with the Feast of the Seven Fishes,
which he later made into a 2019 movie. Growing up in North Central West Virginia, he fondly remembers his great
grandmother organizing the Feast. After she died, his grandfather and other men in the family took over. That
particular manly activity is something that the first Italian immigrants would have also performed out of necessity:
men came to America first, without their wives and daughters.
However, knowledge about where to shop, when to prepare, how to cook, the history behind the meal and family
traditions soon became the responsibility of mothers to pass down to their daughters. says Di Giovine, a professor at
West Chester University of Pennsylvania. They are also likely the ones who have the final say in making changes to
recipes. Over time, families often adjust the menu to make things easier, cheaper, more abundant, and more
accommodating of dietary restrictions.
24. What do we know about the Feast of the Seven Fishes?
A. It relates to a story of Italians. B. It's made up of seven fishes.
C. It marks a vital historic event. D. It's about Americans in Italy.
25. What does the underlined word impoverished in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Needy. B. Unfortunate. C. Extended. D. Uneducated.
26. What can we infer about Robert Tinnell from paragraph 3?
A. He loves fishes. B. He's an editor. C. He's emotional. D. He teaches writing.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Fish-making Method B. A Festival Tradition C A Cookery Book D. A Special Celebration
C
A middle-aged woman playing by herself in the snow is an undeniably odd sight, but maybe it shouldn't be. New
research suggests that modern adults are suffering from overmuch depression, so play may be as essential to our
health as sleep. We've been in our nature to play, which is causing all kinds of problems—for ourselves, our children,
and our planet.
It's believed that adult play can lead to useful discoveries, which is supported by a study on Bali's long-tailed
monkeys. For her doctoral paper at the University of Lethbridge, animal researcher Camilla Cenni left two types of
puzzle boxes for the monkeys to solve. To get the food inside, they had to drop a rock into the container or use it to hit
the box. She found the monkeys that previously had been observed dropping rocks for fun were more likely to solve
the rock-dropping puzzle, while those that had discovered the joy of tapping rocks together think of the answer to the
tapping puzzle.
This finding also suggests that somewhere, deep in our evolutionary history, a playful proto-human（原始人）
came up with the concept of stone tools. Even today, the urge to play underlies most of humanity's greatest inventions,
artworks, and scientific breakthroughs, Brown says. When I interviewed Nobel winners, I was struck by how most of
them didn't separate work and play. Their labs were their playgrounds.
The opposite of play isn't work; it's depression, says play researcher Stuart Brown, Play is all about looking at
a tough world with creativity and optimism. It gives us the ability to cooperate and get along with people who differ
from us, He goes so far as to declare that “adult play is necessary for our survival as a species.”
The next time I'm caught playing, I know exactly what I'll say: I am not wasting time, or acting immature. I'm
doing nothing for the benefit of all humanity. You're welcome.
28. What is the phenomenon the author describes at the beginning of the text?
A. Playing with snow is strange. B. Wild nature is difficult to find.
C. Many people are stressed out. D. People enjoy living close to nature.
29. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The necessity of the study. B. The importance of adult play.
C. Main activities of monkeys. D. Various functions of a rock.
30. What is the author's purpose in mentioning a playful proto-human?
A. To explain the concept of play. B. To compare two research findings.
C. To highlight scientific breakthroughs. D. To offer some background information.
31. Which of the following best describes the author in the last paragraph?
A. Humorous. B. Optimistic. C. Caring. D. Active.
D
Nobody knows yet what the best way of removing all that carbon will be, but scientists around the world are
developing a new method. The Swiss company Climeworks is building big extractor（抽油烟机） fans to remove
carbon.
But other scientists are looking to nature's carbon cycle for inspiration. They're looking for ways to improve it,
speed it up and help it take more carbon out of the air permanently.
One of those scientists is Professor Luke Mackinder, a plant biologist at the University of York. His research into
carbon removal is inspired by ocean algac（海藻）. About half of carbon absorption takes place in the ocean, he
says. Algae are extremely efficient at absorbin g it.
In order to do this, his team has studied the genetic code（基因密码） of algae to work out which genes play a
vital role in carbon absorption. He believes they have now figured this out. Now we have a list and we can start
thinking about how to bring them together in different living things, he says. We place the genes into those of other
plants. It's genetic modification.
Mackinder anticipates adding them to a range of crops and trees. The resulting increased production could be
good for food security. Alternatively, they could help to enhance the influence of climate change. It all depends on
what we do with the carbon once it's trapped in those plants. Eating them would quickly return it to the atmosphere.
But if instead we find ways to store it, we could keep it out of the atmosphere for good.
Dave Hillyard, chief administrator of the Carbon Technology Research Foundation that is funding Mackinder's
research, says that it is important to fund work on a wide range of carbon removal methods, because some will not
get the results they're looking for and some will succeed. There are a lot of opportunities here but very little funding
and research going into it.
32. What is discussed in the first paragraph?
A. An approach to carbon removal. B. A way to improve big extractor fans.
C. A means of joining a company. D. A method of doing scientific research.
33. Why does Professor Luke Mackinder focus on ocean algae?
A. It is secure. B. It is effective. C. It is sufficient. D. It is accessible.
34. What can we know about the genes of algae from the fourth paragraph?
A. They bring about great side effects. B. They are useless for carbon absorption.
C. They help increase food production. D. They have been put into other plants.
35. What is required according to Dave Hillyard?
A. The government's permission. B. More scientists'participation.
C. Increasing experimental chances. D. The input into the research.

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心。
I was eleven years old. This was my first soccer game. With little knowledge of the rules of the game, I was
nervous and uneasy, but still excited. With kids running at me from all directions, I observed the skills that many of
my teammates possessed. Their motions appeared so suggest hand effortless, while their faces revealed their
attachment to the game. I, however, lacked the spirit of playing aggressively that many of the other kids had.
To my knowledge, this game turned out to be an intense one. My team was falling behind the entire game, but
toward the end, we tied it up. I watched as parents yelled and screamed, find to excitement and emotion. Many of the
parents, with their waving arms and cheerful eyes, seemed more involved in the game than their children.
Suddenly, it was my turn to kick the ball. This was my chance to reveal that J was as good as everyone else. I
brought my le g back and was ready to kick with all my strength. I gave a good, hard kick--one of my better—but
unfortunately, I had kicked the ball in the wrong direction. Seeing the disappointed faces of the members of my team,
I felt my face go from pale white to bright red; I wanted to run home, faster than I ever ran in a soccer practice.
Over the next few years, I continued to participate in a variety of sports, trying to find the one where I would be
the center of attention for the right reasons. That never happened. Very often my father couldn't wait to practise
playing soccer around the backyard with me. Each time I somehow managed to trip on a shoelace（鞋带） or trip
over a rock. My father continued to push me, and during my elementary-school years it seemed that I might become
quite the athlete. At the same time, my little brother was suddenly not so little and began to control the family athletic
field. His ability and passion for sports made me wonder why I was so different.

1.续写词数应为 150 个左右；

Eventually, I understood something all of a sudden.
It suddenly occurred to me what I should do with it next.

One possible version
Eventually, I understood something all of a sudden. I began to integrate the opponents' play and team work into
my soccer practice and games. I felt that it was a great moment for me to learn from other better skilled soccer
players. As an old saying goes, experience is the best teacher. I spent my time in working out hard. I was aware that I
had to figure the lessons out on my own. Obviously, I needed to improve myself in a sense. Therefore, I gave a lot of
thought to it.
It suddenly occurred to me what I should do with it next. I knew that my lack of ability for sports was something
that separated me from many people. In that case, I would never give up. I participated to the best of my ability in
whatever I was doing. My father once told me, Be yourself and you will not be looked down on. Keeping it in mind,
I became a top soccer player with my strong determination and hard work. I hold the belief that nothing is difficult if I
put my heart into it.
