D Having a big lobster (龙虾) meal and lots of fun on the North Shore is a great way to celebrate! On Oct 10. people in Prince Edward Island, Canada, enjoyed a lively lobster party to celebrate the lobster-catching season. Tickets were $125 (about 880 yuan) per person. People gathered there, chatting and laughing while savoring delicious lobsters. However, lobster hasn’t always been expensive. In the book Lobster: A Global History by food writer Elisabeth Townsend, lobster was once considered “survival food”. It was only eaten when people were very hungry because there were so many of them and it wasn’t easy to keep them fresh. In fact, some people didn’t want to eat lobster because how scary it looked. They thought its strange shape and sharp claws were off-putting. As global sea trade grew, lobster became a favorite among European nobles. Since it had to be shipped alive, only those with wealth and power could afford it. By the 16th and 17th centuries, art began to show how popular it was. Still-life painters like Dutch artist Willem Kalf included lobsters in their paintings to show wealthy people’s luxurious lifestyle. These paintings often described sumptuous banquets (豪华宴会)with lobsters as the centerpiece. By the early 1900s, lobster was a symbol of luxury (奢侈). It was reported that the rich businessman Diamond Jim Brady ate six or seven lobsters in one sitting. His indulgence (沉溺) in lobster became a well-known anecdote (轶事), further fueling the perception of lobster as a high-end delicacy. Over time, lobster became widely seen as a special treat. People all around the world want to taste it. It also has different meanings in different places: In some cultures, lobster is seen as a symbol of long life because of its curved back while in others it stands for power because of its hard shell. Lobster isn’t just for eating anymore—it has become a cultural symbol representing celebration, luxury and diverse (多样的) cultural values. 16. Why was lobster seen as “survival food” in history? A. It was generally expensive. B. It was difficult to catch. C. It looked scary and tasted bad. D. It was common and hard to keep fresh. 17.

Since lobster had to be shipped alive, only those with wealth and power could afford it. D. Lobster isn’t just for eating anymore—it has become a cultural symbol.

It also tells people not to give up. British brothers James and Thomas Lindsay, aged 30 and 23, know the saying very well. And in 2022, the two brothers spent months running along the Great Wall. The pair set off from Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu Province on July 15. It took the two 131 days of running and walking along the main west-to-east length of the Great Wall to reach Shanhaiguan Pass on November 22. Their Great Wall journey covered 3, 263 kilometers. They are the first known brothers, and Thomas is the youngest person, to succeed in running the wall in one journey. The two brothers’ love for the Great Wall is from their father, William Lindsay. William once ran along the wall 37 years ago. He has devoted (奉献) more than 30 years of his life to visiting, studying and protecting the wall. His actions influenced his two sons. They spent most of their weekends walking, taking photos and picking up rubbish from the Great Wall. Compared to their father’s journey, the brothers’ trip was helped by advanced tools like GPS watches and digital maps. However, it was still not easy for the two to do that. They had to go through bad weather and even illnesses. Finally, they completed their trip. This experience gave the brothers a deeper understanding of the Great Wall and the history behind it. For the two, it is not enough to just go to the Great Wall; they must also love and protect it. 6. What inspired James and Thomas Lindsay to run along the Great Wall? A. The challenge of the long-distance running. B. Their father’s influence and love for the Great Wall. C. The saying “He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man” D.

A. Thomas is the youngest person to visit the Great Wall. B. The brothers’ journey was easier than their father’s because of advanced tools. C.

On Oct 10. people in Prince Edward Island, Canada, enjoyed a lively lobster party to celebrate the lobster-catching season. Tickets were $125 (about 880 yuan) per person. People gathered there, chatting and laughing while savoring delicious lobsters. However, lobster hasn’t always been expensive. In the book Lobster: A Global History by food writer Elisabeth Townsend, lobster was once considered “survival food”. It was only eaten when people were very hungry because there were so many of them and it wasn’t easy to keep them fresh. In fact, some people didn’t want to eat lobster because how scary it looked. They thought its strange shape and sharp claws were off-putting. As global sea trade grew, lobster became a favorite among European nobles. Since it had to be shipped alive, only those with wealth and power could afford it. By the 16th and 17th centuries, art began to show how popular it was. Still-life painters like Dutch artist Willem Kalf included lobsters in their paintings to show wealthy people’s luxurious lifestyle. These paintings often described sumptuous banquets (豪华宴会)with lobsters as the centerpiece. By the early 1900s, lobster was a symbol of luxury (奢侈). It was reported that the rich businessman Diamond Jim Brady ate six or seven lobsters in one sitting. His indulgence (沉溺) in lobster became a well-known anecdote (轶事), further fueling the perception of lobster as a high-end delicacy. Over time, lobster became widely seen as a special treat. People all around the world want to taste it. It also has different meanings in different places: In some cultures, lobster is seen as a symbol of long life because of its curved back while in others it stands for power because of its hard shell. Lobster isn’t just for eating anymore—it has become a cultural symbol representing celebration, luxury and diverse (多样的) cultural values. 16. Why was lobster seen as “survival food” in history? A. It was generally expensive. B. It was difficult to catch. C. It looked scary and tasted bad. D. It was common and hard to keep fresh. 17. The author mentions “Diamond Jim Brady” in Paragraph 4 to ________. A. prove that lobster is good for health B. criticize rich people’s eating habits C. talk about the history of eating lobster D. show lobster was popular among the rich 18. In which of the following artworks are you most likely to find a lobster? A. A portrait of a commoner. B. A landscape painting of a beach. C. A still-life painting of a banquet. D. A modern abstract painting. 19. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. People around the world enjoy eating lobster. B. There are now many different species of lobster. C. Lobster has different cultural meanings across the world. D. Lobster has become a symbol of power in some cultures. 20. Which of the following statements can prove that lobster is a symbol of luxury?

Since lobster had to be shipped alive, only those with wealth and power could afford it. D. Lobster isn’t just for eating anymore—it has become a cultural symbol. 【答案】16. D 17. D 18. C 19. C 20.

Last term, there was an English speech contest in my school. I decided to take part in it, because I thought I was good at speaking English and I had some experience in giving speeches.
