Before we start eating a meal, we take photos with our phones. Later, we put the photos on WeChat (微信) or some video (视频) apps and wait for others to give us likes. Then we take out our phones from time to time during the meal to see if someone sees the photos and how many likes we get from others. We just can’t be away from our phones for only a meal. A study shows that if we spend time taking photos of the food, the food may be less delicious. To test this, scientists (科学家) did an experiment. They asked some people to take photos of the food before they could enjoy the meal. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food tasted. Next time when we go out to have meals with our family or friends, how about not taking photos of the food? Let the food be delicious as it is. Enjoy our life with the people around us. 26. Why do people put food photos on WeChat? A. To show they can take photos of the food. B. To tell others they eat a delicious meal. C. To show their photos are very beautiful. D. To expect someone to give likes to them. 27. How often do people take out their phones during a meal according to (依据) the text? A. Sometimes. B. Never. C. Hardly ever. D. Always. 28. What does the underlined word “experiment” mean in Chinese? A. 探险 B. 实验 C. 演示 D. 问卷 29. What will the result be if people take food photos at a meal according to the writer? A.

What is the main idea of the text? A. We had better not take phones at meals. B. How to put food photos on the Internet. C. We had better not take food photos at meals. D. How to get likes from others for food photos. 【答案】26. D 27. A 28. B 29. C 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了人们用餐时习惯拍美食并分享到社交平台、频繁查看点赞的现象，通过科学实验说明“拍美食越多，食物尝起来越不美味”，最终建议人们用餐时不要拍美食，而是专注享受食物本身。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Later, we put the photos on WeChat (微信) or some video (视频) apps and wait for others to give us likes.”可知，人们把食物照片放在微信上，期待有人给他们点赞。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题根据“Then we take out our phones from time to time during the meal to see if someone sees the photos and how many likes we get from others.”可知，用餐时人们时不时拿出手机。故选A。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“They asked some people to take photos of the food before they could enjoy the meal. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food tasted.”可知，科学家们让一些人给食物拍照，然后才能享用。结果表明，他们拍的照片越多，食物的味道就越不好吃。这是在做实验，所以划线词意为“实验”。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food tasted.”可知，他们拍的照片越多，食物的味道就越不美味。故选C。 30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章批判了用餐时拍美食的行为，最后建议不要给食物拍照，所以本文的主旨是：用餐时不要拍美食。故选C。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Now more and more people are interested in e-readers.

She loved cooking and buying different kinds of kitchen things. She didn’t use all of them, but she loved seeing her kitchen full of nice cups, glasses and plates (盘子). Before she came to Australia, she stood in the kitchen and didn’t know what to bring with her and what to leave behind. She spent a few hours looking at everything and in the end she decided to take a set of expensive plates. A few weeks after she came to Australia, a new friend invited her to have dinner and asked her to bring a plate. My grandma didn’t know why, but her English was not good at that time and she couldn’t ask clearly what the reason was. On that day, she chose her most beautiful plate and brought it to her friend’s house. She was sure everyone would like it. When she arrived at her friend’s house, she happily put the plate on a table. Around her plate were plates full of food. “What happened?” she said to herself. Her friend smiled (微笑) after seeing her plate. “In Australia ‘to bring a plate’ means ‘to bring some food’,” her friend said to her. Grandma learned something that day. She also realized the importance (重要) of knowing different cultures. Since then, she has tried her best to learn English. 46.

The importance of knowing different cultures 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者的奶奶从海外搬到澳大利亚后，因不了解当地文化，在受邀参加聚会时，将字面意思的“带一个盘子”误解为需要带空盘子，而实际是指带一份食物，由此经历了一次文化碰撞并从中学习的故事。 【46题详解】 根据“About five years ago, my grandma came to Australia to live with us.”（大约五年前，我奶奶来到澳大利亚和我们一起生活。）可推知作者的奶奶已经和他们一起在澳大利亚生活了大约五年。故填about five years/about 5 years。 【47题详解】 根据“Before she came to Australia, she stood in the kitchen and didn’t know what to bring with her and what to leave behind.”可推知对她来说很难决定带什么和留下什么。故填what kitchen things to bring/what kitchen things to bring with her。 【48题详解】 根据“Around her plate were plates full of food.”可推知她看到她的盘子周围都是装满食物的盘子。故填plates full of food/lots of food。 【49题详解】 根据“On that day, she chose her most beautiful plate and brought it to her friend’s house.”可推知她带的盘子是漂亮的。故填Nice/Beautiful/Expensive/It’s nice/beautiful/expensive。 【50题详解】 文章主要讲述了奶奶因为不理解澳大利亚“bring a plate”（带一个盘子）这一短语的文化内涵（意为带一份食物），而带了一个空盘子去朋友家，从而闹出误会并从中学习的故事。这核心是关于一种文化差异。故填The importance of knowing different cultures。 第二节　书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 51. 假如你是李涛，在今天的英语课上，老师让同学们对不同的电视节目发表自己的看法。请你根据下面表格中的提示信息，以“My Ideas about TV Shows”为题，用英语写一篇短文，说明自己的看法并给出理由。 TV shows Ideas Reasons soap operas can’t stand … game shows love … the news don’t mind … 要求：1. 语句通顺，表述连贯，书写工整； 2. 短文须包含表格内所有提示内容，可适当发挥； 3. 词数：70词左右 (短文开头和结尾部分已给出，且不计入总词数)。 My Ideas about TV Shows Hello, everyone!
