Traditional Food Culture Guide
Here are four traditional foods with rich cultural backgrounds.Sushi (Japan)
Sushi originated in Southeast Asia around the 2nd century BCE as a method of preserving fish with fermented (发酵的) rice. Today, it has become a famous symbol of Japanese culture. Each piece reflects respect for seasonal ingredients and the concept of “shun”(seasonal peak). Chefs carefully select ingredients to ensure every piece shows nature’s best flavor. This dining style emphasizes simplicity and harmony. Pizza (Italy)
Pizza was born in 18th-century Naples, Italy, originally as convenient food for common people. In 1889, the Margherita pizza became popular for using the three colors of the national flag(tomato, mozzarella, basil). It represents Italian family dining culture — simple ingredients mixed under high heat create a dish that crosses social classes. Tacos (Mexico)
Corn tortillas can be traced back to the Aztec civilization, when ancient Indians wrapped food in corn dough. Today, tacos are the soul of Mexican street culture. Each family’s filling recipe is passed down through generations, from slow-cooked meat to fresh vegetables, reflecting “handmade warmth” and community sharing. In 2010, the Mexican traditional cuisine was added on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Humanity.Dumplings (China)
Dumplings originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty when Zhang Zhongjing wrapped medicinal herbs in dough to cure common people. Today, they are a core symbol of family reunion during Spring Festival. The process of family members’ gathering to make dumplings represents “gēng suì jiāo zǐ” (farewell to the old year). Fillings vary by region, but all carry the “taste of home” and blessing culture.
21．What can we learn about pizza according to the text
A．It was originally designed for royal families.
B．Its popularity is due to complex cooking techniques.
C．It first appeared as convenient food for ordinary people.
D．It became an international dish because of its three colors.
22．Why is the UNESCO mentioned in the Tacos section
A．To demonstrate its internationally recognized cultural value.
B．To show the complexity of the cooking process.
C．To highlight the uniqueness of family recipes.
D．To emphasize its popularity only in Mexico.
23．Which food is originally related to medical treatment
A．Sushi. B．Pizza. C．Tacos. D．Dumplings.
A newly formed group of women is creating a map of community fridges and neighborhood pantries (社区食品储藏室) across Baltimore, the Bmore Community Fridge Network. They intend to support neighbors who want to serve others, hoping residents living nearby can get connected to the free food being offered to them.
“We provide resources, therapy, and outpatient services,” said Nikki Smith, the CEO of The Journey Mental Health & Wellness and one of the network organizers. “I don’t care who you are, where you are. If you ring the doorbell and you’re hungry, we will provide food for you,” she added.
The Bmore Community Fridge Network secured a donated refrigerator, which will sit outside of Smith’s center, adding to the community fridge map. Smith added that other organizations were looking to contribute with donations to keep the fridge stocked.
“I’m hoping that everyone will pay it forward and they will understand that ‘Hey wait, there’s somebody here that’s helping. Maybe I can help too,’” she said.
The Food Project will also receive a donated refrigerator, which will sit outside of their center. As the network grows, they are reminding families of the many neighbors across the city who truly care.
The organizers say there are no real rules about how much one can take. They said the Bmore Community Fridge Network is trying to get more fridges and searching for more locations to house them. They encourage everyone to donate to these community fridges by dropping off what you can to a fridge.
Maryland Food Bank data shows more than 90,000 city residents are food insecure. The Food Bank said 1 in 3 Marylanders face food insecurity. The Baltimore Area Survey (BAS) found 28% of Baltimore area residents experienced food insecurity in 2024, down from 36% in 2023. However, the survey showed the region’s rate of food insecurity remained nearly twice as high as the national average.
24．What is the primary purpose of the Bmore Community Fridge Network
A．To collect used refrigerators.
B．To reduce food waste in Baltimore.
C．To operate free food resources.
D．To educate people about nutrition.
25．What do community fridges symbolize
A．Universal social responsibility. B．Visible community care.
C．Restricted access to food. D．Independent operations.
26．What does the network plan to do
A．Expand their service ranges. B．Replace pantries with fridges.
C．Charge donors for maintenance. D．Focus on mental health services.
27．What do the figures indicate in the last paragraph
A．The Food Bank needs food. B．Food insecurity has been solved.
C．The national rate is lower. D．Food insecurity is very serious.
Scientists have known for years that great apes (类人猿) like to play. But a new discovery shows that they also have a sense of humor and like to play jokes on each other. A new study has given scientists new insight into the lives of humanity’s closest relatives. It turns out that humans are not the only species to tease (取笑) each other; great apes do it too.
The idea that great apes play is not new. The great scientist Jane Goodall observed young chimpanzees playing, disturbing their elders by jumping, biting, and pulling hair. However, no one has ever taken the time to identify and characterize the type of play that great apes engage in until now.
The researchers found that young apes often came into contact with older apes during playful teasing, and their behavior was met with a positive response, rather than a violent one. If met with a non-reaction, a young ape would often repeat the behavior with greater strength until it received a reaction or the other ape just walked away. In addition, the apes would often look at the face of the individual they were teasing after the act, as if to gauge what their reaction would be.
Though researchers are still not certain as to what social function teasing plays in ape behavior, they do have some theories. It could be entertainment, or it could be a way for young apes to learn how to understand their social partners. Knowing what they can avoid and whom they can approach can teach them a lot about either boundaries, group classes or social rules.
In addition, researchers guess that the shared ancestors between great apes and humans may have also had the ability to joke and tease and that this type of behavior is perhaps the early form of humor. Whatever the case, this vital study enriches humanity’s understanding of our closest relatives and highlights the shared characters between us.
28．Which aspect of great apes does the new study focus on
A．Their senses. B．Their ancestors.
C．Their playfulness. D．Their species.
29．What is the function of paragraph 2
A．To give advice. B．To determine a definition.
C．To provide background. D．To describe a phenomenon.
30．What does the underlined word “gauge” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Acknowledge. B．Change. C．Encourage. D．Judge.
31．What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about great apes’ playing jokes
A．Its negative functions.
B．Its possible social roles.
C．Its benefits to understanding humans.
D．Its evolutionary link to human humor.
Across the United States, more than 440 national parks and 7,400 urban parks offer a variety of recreational green spaces for people and pets. Yet, the US Forest Service warns that urbanization, including park development, is reducing natural habitats for plants and animals, doing harm to wildlife survival.
How can urban parks continue to be vital shelters for wildlife, even as they are designed to meet the growing needs of people Scientists at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) studied the parks of one of the most populated counties in the Sunshine State — Broward — to answer that question.
Researchers analyzed over 600 urban green spaces throughout Broward County to explore how different physical features such as tree canopy, athletic facilities, and playgrounds relate to human activity and biodiversity.
“We found that the size of the green space is a strong predictor of both human use and biodiversity. Importantly, our findings highlight that green spaces need to be carefully designed to support biodiversity, but also a mix of green spaces with different goals is important,” says Corey Callaghan, senior author of the study.
To further enhance the coexistence of human activities and wildlife in urban green spaces, the use of modern technology and community involvement is essential. One way to incorporate them is through data-driven insights, made possible by citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, which allow people to directly contribute to our understanding of biodiversity in urban spaces.
Citizen science platforms like iNaturalist played a vital role in gathering the vast amount of biodiversity data needed for this study. By providing members of the public with a way to contribute observations of plants and animals in urban parks, these platforms provide a unique and scalable (可扩展的) tool to assess biodiversity across large areas.
“As cities continue to expand, we need to ensure our green spaces are working harder for both people and biodiversity,” says Callaghan. “That means ongoing investment in research, monitoring, and community science platforms like iNaturalist. The more we know, the better we can design spaces that are inclusive for both humans and biodiversity.”
32．What does US Forest Service say about urban parks
A．They’re benefiting wildlife. B．They’re inadequate for humans.
C．They’re threats to wildlife habitats. D．They’re lacking park maintenance.
33．How do citizen science platforms benefit biodiversity research
A．By collecting large-scale biodiversity data.
B．By educating the public about wildlife.
C．By perfecting the design of eco-friendly parks.
D．By monitoring pollution levels in parks.
34．What does Callaghan believe is essential for future green space development
A．Public awareness. B．Continued support.
C．Advanced equipment. D．Strict regulations.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Role of Citizen Science in Urban Park Research
B．The Negative Impact of Urbanization on National Parks
C．The Importance of Large-Sized Green Spaces in Urban Parks
D．The Balance Between Human Needs and Wildlife Habitats in Urban Parks
How to Get Better at Doing Things Alone
In a time of loneliness, it may seem strange to spare alone time. But as long as you also have a strong social network, research suggests that quality solo time increases happiness, reduces stress, and improves life satisfaction. 36 . This is because when you’re alone, you’re able to get in touch with yourself in a way you can’t when surrounded by other opinions and ideas. With that in mind, we asked experts how to master the art of spending time alone. Start with a low-risk outing
Write down what you’d like to do by yourself, ranked from the most difficult activity to the least. Traveling internationally or attending a concert might be a 10, for example, while going to the park may be a 3. 37 . 38
Once you’ve decided to head out on your own, search online to figure out exactly where to go. Look up places nearby in advance that are, for example, great for dining alone. The more excited you are about what waits for you, the more likely you are to have a great time. Bring along a distraction
When you start going places alone, it can be helpful to have something to focus on, like a book or a journal. Keeping your headphones on and listening to a favorite podcast or an audiobook can serve the same purpose. 39 . Celebrate your achievements
The next time you go out alone, think of it as taking yourself on a date. When you get home, spend a few minutes celebrating the experience. 40 . Give yourself praises for stepping outside of your comfort zone, which will inspire you to go forward.
A．Do your homework beforehand
B．Lean into moments of connection
C．It can even make you more productive and creative
D．It becomes less of being alone and more just being present
E．You can brainstorm ways to make the easiest one less difficult
F．In the early days, these provide a welcome sense of comfort
G．Maybe that means journaling or posting a photo on social media

The steady rhythm of tennis balls striking the court was the soundtrack to my envy (羡慕). At seventeen, I stood on the edge of the school grounds, watching my friend Sam move across the court with effortless grace — close enough to see, yet far from being part of it. My father, once a college player, had taught me for years, but my body was always slow — balls flew past the line, and my serve never went in. “It’s about rhythm, not strength，” he said, but I never found the rhythm.
My desperation was highest when Coach Davies announced a “Beginner Tournament”.
Sam dared me to enter. “What’s the worst that could happen ” he smiled widely. Swallowing my pride, I signed up. When my father heard about it, he was surprised. Coach Davies was unsure, yet gave me two weeks of hard practice. The lessons were tough. My muscles hurt, my hands got red, and the basics of how to hold my racket (球拍), stand, and swing felt like learning a foreign language. Progress was slow, measured one good hit at a time.
The tournament day came. My first match was against another beginner. To my shock, the practice worked. I won. Then I won again. Each win felt like a small gift. In the semi final, I met a senior who laughed at my luck. We fought hard. My legs shook but I kept the ball in. But at 10-9, the match point, he slipped on a leaf and missed. The crowd gasped; I helped him up. Coach Davies nodded once, rare praise from him. My father clapped so loudly that I heard it above the wind. Sam waited at the net, smiling. “Finals, Alex. Bring your best,” he said.
The sun was warm. A bee flew round the court, and Coach Davies told us to keep still. I forgot the pain and watched it leave. Little did I guess it would soon help me win.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

The final between Sam and me began.

Quiet now, please. I want to give you some information about our school visit to a local printing factory on July 10th. I think it will be a really interesting day. Right, be here and ready to go by 7:55 at the latest because the journey will take 30 minutes. That’s quite early, I know. Please tell your parents that we’re going by school bus, not by train or coach. We will see lots of printing machines in the morning, and in the afternoon the director of the factory will make a speech on different printing technologies. If you want to learn something about printing before we go, you can read articles and watch videos on the website. The weather may be hot on that day, so bring some water with you for the journey. But there’s no need to bring any food. They’re going to give us some nice sandwiches there for lunch. Well, does anyone have any questions about the visit

AI Tools: A Double-Edged Sword
AI tools have sparked a heated debate. Personally, I believe they are beneficial but require cautious use.
On the positive side, AI significantly boosts efficiency. It helps us quickly access information and correct writing errors, making learning and working more convenient.
However, over-reliance on AI poses a real threat to our independent thinking. If we habitually seek instant answers, we may gradually lose the ability to analyze and solve problems on our own.
In conclusion, AI is a valuable assistant, not a replacement for our brains. We should embrace its advantages while nurturing our own critical thinking skills.

The final between Sam and me began. Sam started with a powerful serve that I barely returned. My hands sweated and legs felt heavy, but I remembered Coach’s words about rhythm. Just then, a bee flew near the net — I paused, watching it calmly, like before. When it left, I took a deep breath and hit the ball smoothly. To my surprise, it landed in the corner. Sam looked shocked, and the crowd cheered. For the rest of the match, I kept that calm rhythm, matching Sam’s moves. Finally, with a well-timed backhand, I won the last point.
Coach Davies stood by the gate and asked me, “You saw the bee again ” I nodded, still breathless. “It reminded me to stay calm,” I said. He smiled and patted my shoulder: “That’s the rhythm you lacked — calm in pressure.” My father ran over with a water bottle, and Sam shook my hand: “You deserved it.” Looking at the court, I realized winning wasn’t just about practice, but finding my own rhythm in tennis and life.
