How National Dishes Tell Stories of Culture
The special tastes and smells of a country's signature dish can share rich stories
about its spirit,history,and culture.
Argentina:Asados

Azerbaijan:Plov
Located between the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian Sea,Azerbaijan is known
for plov-rice cooked in tasty soup.Cooks make it in many ways,often adding lamb,
saffron,fried fruits,or honey.People serve plov at important events like weddings.
Experts believe it originally came from Persia.
Bahamas:Cracked Conch(海螺)
In the Bahamas,conch is eaten in many styles.The most famous is cracked conch,
which is breaded and deep fried.The name comes from how it's prepared:to soften the
tough meat,people hit it with a special-shaped stick.Grand Bahama Island even holds a
yearly Conch Cracking Contest!
Bahrain:Machboos
Bahrain's national dish,spicy chicken machboos,is popular across the Middle East
but it tastes best in this island nation.Families traditionally eat it for Friday lunch.The
dish combines Persian and Indian tastes using various spices(like ginger,chili,and
cinnamon.A special technique makes it unique:the water used to cook the chicken is
later used to cook the rice,mixing all the tastes together.
21.When did asados become a traditional dish in Argentina?
A.Before the 16th century came.
B.Before Europeans settled down.
C.After the material was introduced.
D.After Argentina became world-famous.
22.How is cracked conch named?
A.By its special appearance.
B.By its cooking equipment.

A community project in England called "Frome's Missing Links"is creating a safe
path through the countryside for walkers and cyclists.The newest section of this path,
known as Stage 2,stretches()1.3 kilometers between Colliers Way and Elliots
Lane.Originally built in 2018,its surface was too uneven for comfortable use.Thanks to
successful public donations collected in 2024,workers have now covered this section with
smooth materials,making it suitable for bicycles,wheelchairs,and horses.The
improved path officially reopened on April 26th at a celebration attended by local leaders.
Volunteers began preparing this area back in 2015.Over 120 helpers cleared
head-high plants and removed old train tracks during the first weekend alone.They
worked for several years,building steps and placing long seats made from old railway
materials.Project leader Richard Ackroyd explained their progress:"We had support
from the rail company to deal with land ownership challenges."The path now connects
directly to Route 24 of the national bike network.
This improvement matters because it provides a safe environment for narrow country
roads between Frome and Radstock.Geoff Pell from the project noted:"Many people

consider road cycling dangerous.This gives them a safe place to exercise."Funding came
from different sources-30,000 from the local government,27,000 from public
donations,plus support from sports organizations.An unnamed person promised to
match donations,helping to complete the 140,000 upgrade.
Looking ahead,two remaining sections need completion.The northern path requires
bridges and an underground passage,while the southern connection toward Longleat is a
little simple.Ackroyd believes the southern section might finish first.This entire project
forms part of a larger 76-mile traffic-free Somerset Circle route connecting local towns.
Other community groups are working on nearby sections to complete this valuable
network across the region.
24.What was the main improvement made to Stage 2?
A.More lights were added.
B.The road was smoothed.
C.The road was lengthened.
D.Wasted materials were removed.
25.What did volunteers do at first to help with the project?
A.They built bridges..
B.They cleared the ground.
C.They collected donations.
D.They designed the bike path.
26.What can we know about the money for the upgrade?
A.Sports groups paid most costs.
B.It came only from public donations.
C.An unknown person helped fill the funding gap.
D.The local government contributed the highest amount.
27.What do we know about the project?

Q
In recent years,more people have become interested in building homes away from
Earth-not just on the Moon or Mars,but also under the ocean.
Living under the sea is not a new idea.In the 1960s,French ocean expert Jacques
Cousteau started building underwater homes.Since 2001,NASA has also sent people to

a research centre called the Aquarius Reef Base,located about 20 meters below the sea
near Florida.Scientists usually stay there for one to two weeks.
更换,
Now,a British company called Deep is working on new technology to help people
live underwater for longer.But the question is:can humans really live in such a difficult
place?
线
Humans are not strong without air,sunlight or normal pressure.So life under the
sea is not easy.But we have lived in other hard places before.For example,astronauts

have stayed on the International Space Station for long periods.The longest stay in space
was 437 days.
However,long stays in space can hurt health.Astronauts often lose bone and
muscle()strength.What about living under the sea?A German engineer,Rudiger
Koch,stayed under the sea for 120 days and had no health problems.Another man,
Professor Joseph Dituri,stayed under the sea for 100 days.He felt even healthier after
the stay.His sleep and memory improved,and his body aged more slowly.
Still,we don't know much about long-term life underwater.That's why Deep is
building two special underwater homes.One is for short stays,and the other is a larger
home where people can live for 28 days at a time,even 200 meters under the sea.The

goal is to allow researchers to spend more time living underwater and enable them to
study the ocean floor as well as the effects of living underwater.
Living under the sea is not easy because of the pressure.But if researchers stay in
these homes long enough,their bodies will adapt to it.Deep hopes these tests will help
us one day live underwater for months-or even years-like in a real-life Atlantis.
28.How does the author introduce the topic?
A.By presenting rising interest.
B.By detailing underwater projects.
C.By discussing deep sea living challenges.
D.By questioning the possibilities of living under the sea.
29.What is the main challenge highlighted by the question in paragraph 3?
A.Achieving 437-day habitation in space.
三
B.Surviving without basic natural resources.
C.Preventing rapid aging during underwater activities.
D.Maintaining bone strength in extreme environments.
30.What can be inferred about underwater living from the examples?
A.Short stays provide exact health data.
B.200-meter depth causes lasting harm.
C.Long-term impacts remain largely uncertain.
D.Existing underwater homes remove all health risks.
雨
31.Why does the author mention "a real-life Atlantis"in the last paragraph?
订
A.To compare ancient stories with NASA projects.
B.To highlight the imaginary nature of Deep's plans.
C.To complain about unrealistic technological goals.
D.To symbolize the goal of long-term underwater living.

A new study finds that house cats can tell the difference between the smell of their
owner and the smell of a stranger.
The study was done by Tokyo University of Agriculture.In the study,30 cats were
shown three plastic tubes().One tube had the smell of their owner,one had the
一,
smell of a stranger,and the last one had no smell.The smells were taken from under the
arm,behind the ear,and between the toes(脚趾头)of the people.
The researchers found that cats spent more time smelling the tube with the
则
线
stranger's smell than the one with their owner's smell or the one with no smell.This
means that cats can know whether a person is familiar or not just by their smell.Cats are
known to have a strong sense of smell.They use it to talk with other cats.But this study
负
finds that they may also use smell to demarcate people.
Other studies in the past have found that cats can also know people by their voice.
They can even change their behaviour when they sense that someone is happy or angry.
However,the researchers are not sure if cats can know exactly who a person is by their
smell.To answer that question,more studies are needed.
One researcher,Hidehiko Uchiyama,said they need to show cats the smells of
many people they know,and look for special behaviours when the cats smell their
owner's smell.Another expert,Serenella d'Ingeo,said that we don't know how the cats
felt when smelling the different tubes-whether they were relaxed or nervous.The
researchers also saw that after smelling the tubes,cats sometimes brushed their faces

against them.This is a way cats mark things with their own smell,which might mean
sniffing()is part of exploring.

In the end,the study finds that cats use their nose to know if a person is someone

they know or not.
32.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the study?
A.Its results.B.Its effect.
C.Its progress.
D.Its procedures.
33.What does the underlined word "demarcate"in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Give in to.
B.Tell apart.
C.Look forward to.
D.Check out.
34.What is the researchers'attitude to cats'recognising specific people by smell?
A.Uncertain.B.Confident.
C.Doubtful.
D.Unconcerned.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.Smell's Role in Cat Socialising
B.Cats Like Strange Smells More
C.Cats Can Use Smell to Know Humans
D.Cats'Unique Ability to Recognise Voices

Every spring,Mother's garden turned into a sea of colours dancing in the wind.
考生注意清
When I was little,I believed they simply came out of the earth like magic.I never
imagined that beauty had to be earned.
That changed when I was six.
One cold,grey afternoon in late November,Mother called me outside.I walked
out,wrapped in my thick coat,hoping it wouldn't take long.

She bent down in the flowerbed,holding a paper bag that smelled like wet earth.
“These are flower bulbs(球茎),”she said.“We're planting them today.”
I looked inside."They look like onions,"I said.
Mother laughed."They're not much to look at now.But with time,care,and
patience,they'll become beautiful flowers by spring."

I fixed my eyes on the lifeless bulbs,and then on the hard ground."But it's freezing()
Nothing's going to grow here."
“They will,”she said gently,handing me a trowel(子).“fyou're willing to wait.”
Unwillingly,I helped plant them.We dug holes,placed each bulb in like a sleeping
child,and covered them with cold soil.When we finished,the garden looked exactly the
same:flat,brown,empty.
“So…that'sit?"I asked.“Nothing to show for it?"

"Now,we wait,"she said,cleaning her hands.
I wasn't very good at waiting.
That winter,I checked the flowerbed constantly.Nearly every morning,the first
thing I did was running to the garden to check whether there were some changes.I tried

everything I could,like brushing away snow and removing possible threats."Nothing's
happening!"I complained."Maybe we did it wrong.Why wait months when you could
just buy what you wanted?"

Mother only smiled."Some things are growing slowly.Give them time."
