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.
4. 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.
5. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Needy. B. Unfortunate. C. Extended. D. Uneducated.
6. 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.
7. 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
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要介绍了意大利裔美国人的传统——七鱼盛宴的历史、发展和相关知识。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian-American tradition that dates back to an immigration (移民) wave in the 1900s.”（七鱼盛宴是意大利裔美国人的传统，可以追溯到20世纪初的移民浪潮。）和第二段“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.”（19世纪初，绝大多数移民到美国的意大利人来自意大利南部农村，他们来到美国是因为那里有从修建铁路到摩天大楼的工作，朋友和家人获得了成功，把他们的亲人带到了美国。）可知，七鱼盛宴标志着一个重要的历史事件。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“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.”（19世纪初，绝大多数移民到美国的意大利人来自意大利南部农村，他们来到美国是因为那里有从修建铁路到摩天大楼的工作。）可知，这些来自意大利南部农村的移民到美国是因为那里有工作，可以挣钱，可见他们生活很贫困，结合划线词所在句“Some say fish was chosen for the Feast because it was plentiful for impoverished families in Southern Italy.”（有人说，之所以选择鱼作为节日的食物，是因为对意大利南部的impoverished家庭来说，鱼很丰富。）可知，选择鱼作为食物是因为对这些贫困的家庭来说，大海里有着丰富的鱼，是比较容易获得的食材，所以impoverished应表示“贫困的”。故选A。

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.”
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Which of the following best describes the author in the last paragraph
A. Humorous. B. Optimistic. C. Caring. D. Active.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明如今许多人压力很大，玩耍变得和睡眠一样对健康非常重要。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“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.(一个中年妇女独自在雪地里玩耍无疑是一个奇怪的景象，但也许不应该这样。新的研究表明，现代成年人患有过多的抑郁症，所以玩耍可能和睡眠一样对我们的健康至关重要)”可知，作者在文章开头描述的现象是许多人压力很大。故选C。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“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.

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.(人们认为，成人游戏可以带来有用的发现，一项对巴厘岛长尾猴的研究支持了这一点。在莱斯布里奇大学的博士论文中，动物研究员Camilla Cenni留下了两种类型的谜题盒子让猴子解决。为了把食物放进去，他们必须往容器里扔一块石头，或者用石头砸盒子。她发现，之前被观察到以扔石头为乐的猴子更有可能解决扔石头的难题，而那些发现了一起敲石头的乐趣的猴子则会思考敲石头难题的答案)”可知，文章第二段主要讲的是成人游戏的重要性。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“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”.(这一发现还表明，在我们进化史的某个深处，一个爱玩的原始人类提出了石器的概念。布朗说，即使在今天，人类最伟大的发明、艺术作品和科学突破的基础仍然是玩耍的欲望。“当我采访诺贝尔奖得主时，我惊讶于他们中的大多数人都没有把工作和娱乐分开。他们的实验室就是他们的游乐场。”)”可知，作者提到一个好玩的原始人类的目的是提供一些背景信息。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.”(下次我再玩游戏时，我很清楚自己该说什么：“我不是在浪费时间，也不是在表现得不成熟。我所做的一切都不是为了全人类的利益。不必客气。”)”可推知，故作者很幽默。选A。
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.”
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于利用藻类去除碳的研究。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“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.(没有人知道去除所有碳的最佳方法是什么，但世界各地的科学家正在开发一种新方法。瑞士公司Climeworks正在建造大型抽风机来去除碳)”可知，第一段讨论了一种去除碳的方法。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Algae are extremely efficient at absorbin g it.(藻类对它的吸收效率极高)”可知，卢克·麦金德教授关注海洋藻类是因为它是有效的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“We place the genes into those of other plants. It’s genetic modification.(我们把这些基因植入其他植物的基因中。这是基因改造。)”可知，藻类的基因被植入到其他植物中。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There are a lot of opportunities here but very little funding and research going into it.(这里有很多机会，但投入的资金和研究却很少。)”可知，根据Dave Hillyard的说法，对研究的投入是需要的。故选D项。

When colds and flu hit, many people automatically turn to over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to push through and treat their symptoms (症状). Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. A study estimated that every year, over 26,000 people went to the emergency room for adverse (有害的) events related to OTC cold and cough medicines.
When two or more drugs are used together, their interaction can sometimes produce unexpected harmful effects. Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions, so it is very important for patients to ask their healthcare providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use.
It is important to read the package ingredients of OTC medicines closely to avoid duplication of doses (剂量重复). Cold medicines are typically made up of multiple ingredients, including pain relievers, nasal decongestants and cough suppressants or expectorants. A person who takes a single-ingredient medicine paired with one of these multi-ingredient medicines can receive an unsafe dose of that ingredient.
While everyone could potentially experience adverse effects from cold and flu medicines, some groups-including older adults, children and pregnant women-may be at greater risk.
Older people who are using prescribed (处方的) drugs to treat multiple health conditions may have a higher risk of drug interactions because of the higher number of medicines being used at the same time to treat different conditions. The aging body is not expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are. This can put older adults at higher risk for an overdose and drug-to-drug interactions with some medicines.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not recommend giving cold medicine to children under age 4. Because of a variety of factors, young children have a higher risk of an accidental overdose and adverse events that could lead to death.
16. Why did the author mention the study in paragraph 1
A. To stress the easy access to OTC medicines.
B. To explain the dangers of using OTC medicines.
C. To emphasize the importance of OTC medicines.
D. To prove the potential risks of using OTC medicines.
17. What advice does the author give to those who take different drugs at the same time
A. Turn to doctors for advice. B. Buy medicines from physicians.
C. Take only one drug instead. D. Change the ingredients of drugs.
18. What can we infer from the text
A. Women cannot face aging positively.
B. Children are more easily affected by diseases.
C. Older people’s body cannot deal with medicines easily.
D. People’s desire for health makes them take more medicine.
19. What is a suitable title for the text
A. OTC medicines may not be safe.
B. Tips for taking over-the-counter drugs.
C. How to deal with an OTC drug overdose
D. Should medicines be available “over the counter”
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. C 19. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了非处方药 (OTC) 如感冒和流感药物的风险，文章建议人们在使用OTC药品前要和医生确认是否安全。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. A study estimated that every year, over 26,000 people went to the emergency room for adverse (有害的) events related to OTC cold and cough medicines.(尽管这些药物很容易获得并广泛使用，但许多人可能会惊讶地发现，它们并非没有风险。一项研究估计，每年有26000多人因非处方感冒药和咳嗽药相关的不良事件前往急诊室)”可知，这项研究是为了证明OTC药物也是有风险的，D选项（证明使用OTC药品的潜在危险）符合题意，故选D项。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions, so it is very important for patients to ask their healthcare providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use. (医生通常了解潜在的药物相互作用，因此患者询问他们的医疗保健提供者哪些OTC药物对他们来说是安全的是非常重要的)”可知，医生拥有医学知识，了解各种风险，所以在服用OTC药物之前，一定要和医生确认是否安全，故选A项。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The aging body is not expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are. (衰老的身体不像年轻的身体那样擅长于吸收、分配和清除药物)”可知，老人的身体已经衰老，无法像年轻人那样高效地处理药品了，C选项（老年人的身体不容易处理药物）符合题意，故选C项。
【19题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. (虽然这些药物容易获得并广泛使用，但许多人可能会惊讶地发现它们并非没有风险)”可知，OTC药物也是有风险的，A选项（OTC药物并非总是安全）符合题意，故选A项。

51. 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文章。
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 leg 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.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】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.

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.
4. 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.
5. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Needy. B. Unfortunate. C. Extended. D. Uneducated.
6. 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.
7. 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

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.”
8. 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.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about

10. 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.
11. 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.”
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.

When colds and flu hit, many people automatically turn to over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to push through and treat their symptoms (症状). Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. A study estimated that every year, over 26,000 people went to the emergency room for adverse (有害的) events related to OTC cold and cough medicines.
When two or more drugs are used together, their interaction can sometimes produce unexpected harmful effects. Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions, so it is very important for patients to ask their healthcare providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use.
It is important to read the package ingredients of OTC medicines closely to avoid duplication of doses (剂量重复). Cold medicines are typically made up of multiple ingredients including pain relievers, nasal decongestants and cough suppressants or expectorants. A person who takes a single-ingredient medicine paired with one of these multi-ingredient medicines can receive an unsafe dose of that ingredient.
While everyone could potentially experience adverse effects from cold and flu medicines, some groups-including older adults, children and pregnant women-may be at greater risk.
Older people who are using prescribed (处方的) drugs to treat multiple health conditions may have a higher risk of drug interactions because of the higher number of medicines being used at the same time to treat different conditions. The aging body is not expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are. This can put older adults at higher risk for an overdose and drug-to-drug interactions with some medicines.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not recommend giving cold medicine to children under age 4. Because of a variety of factors, young children have a higher risk of an accidental overdose and adverse events that could lead to death.
16. Why did the author mention the study in paragraph 1
A. To stress the easy access to OTC medicines.
B. To explain the dangers of using OTC medicines.
C. To emphasize the importance of OTC medicines.
D. To prove the potential risks of using OTC medicines.
17. What advice does the author give to those who take different drugs at the same time
A. Turn to doctors for advice. B. Buy medicines from physicians.
C. Take only one drug instead. D. Change the ingredients of drugs.
18. What can we infer from the text
A. Women cannot face aging positively.
B. Children are more easily affected by diseases.
C. Older people’s body cannot deal with medicines easily.
D. People’s desire for health makes them take more medicine.
19. What is a suitable title for the text
A. OTC medicines may not be safe.
B. Tips for taking over-the-counter drugs.
C. How to deal with an OTC drug overdose
D. Should medicines be available “over the counter”

51. 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文章。
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 leg 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.
