We can’t remember clearly when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, 11 when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and take photos.
Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal to see 12 we get “liked” or not. We just can’t leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Do you do that often If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you
A(n) 13 study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. Some 14 did an experiment(实验) in order to test this. Some people were asked to take photos 15 they could enjoy food.

A
My first photo was taken at the age of 9. While I couldn't even remember the model of the camera, I do remember the enjoyment of looking through the photos.
When I was 16 years old, I bought a Canon camera before an overseas trip. Over the years, I have taken many photos with it. There's Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace; Aunt Sarah，smiling under the Eiffel Tower; and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like. They also know what Europe's great landmarks(地标) look like. I didn't think about composition(构图) when taking the photos.
After the camera was stolen, I didn't buy another one for a long time because I didn't want to buy a camera until I found a Vivitar Series camera. It worked well in natural light, and I took a lot of photos with it. From then on, I had an artist's eye. My pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead, I took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets. I captured the colour and character of the country. My friends were so interested that they asked for more.
Of course, I won the first prize easily in some photo competitions. My friends often told me that I moved from an amateur (业余爱好者) to an artist.
21. According to the passage, the writer's first camera was very ________．
A. ugly B. expensive C. simple D. advanced
22.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “captured”
A. 俘虏 B. 攻取 C.抓拍 D. 赢得
23. The latest photos of the writer are mostly about ________．
A. the character of the country
B. only the smiling persons
C. the familiar Greek architectures
D. lots of famous buildings
24. One can become an artist if he ________．
A. takes a camera with him
B. knows the history of a place
C. is interested in not only the landmarks but also the people of a place
D. learns how to draw and paint pictures of a place
25. What's the best title of the passage
A. An Artist B. A Photographer C. A Lost Camera D. My First Photo
B
What’s the best way to remember our happiest moments, like a birthday or festival I bet you would answer , “Take lots of photos!” Well, here is a great surprise. People who always take photos may actually be harming(伤害) their memory, because they’re not concentrating on the event itself. That’s according to new research by Fairfield University, Connecticut, in the US. They call this the “photo-taking impairment(损害) affect”.
“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them,” Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened(减弱) a visitor’s memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum, and either take photos of the items on display, or try to remember what they had seen. In addition(另外), the amount(数量) of detail(细节) they remembered was worse than those who didn’t take photos. “These results show how the mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don’t put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event, compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo, just think: is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes, or behind the eye of the camera
26. When we take photos, we _________.
A．fail to focus on the event itself
B．can’t record the details

C．The experiment aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.
D．People who took photos in the museum could remember less details.
28.According to the passage, we’d better _________.
A．never use our cameras
B．remember an event by heart
C．always remember an event with the help of a camera
D．see everything only with our own eyes
29.What do the results of the experiment show us
A．The mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same.
B．People remember happiest moments by taking photos.
C．Looking back at old photos helps us remember an event.
D．People don’t like taking photos.
30.Where can we probably read this passage
A．The entrance of a museum.
B．A guidebook on how to take good pictures.
C．An instruction of how to use a camera.
D．A scientific report.
C
The invention of the camera goes far into the past. In the 1500s, men were experimenting with cameras that made images. But it was not until the early 1800s that man found a way to make the pictures permanent. Even then, photography was a new field. Most families had their pictures taken by a photographer. People did not own cameras because taking pictures and developing the film were too difficult. In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a kind of film that fit into a small camera. Because the new film was easy to use, many people began to buy cameras. When they had used up their film, people returned their cameras to the factory. There, the film was developed, and pictures were printed. Then more film was put into the cameras, which was sent back to the owners, along with their pictures. Eastman’s camera made it easy to take pictures. Today’s cameras are even easier to use, and people can put in their own film. Photography has become a growing hobby. There are also many new jobs in the field of photography. One of the most important kinds of work is in news reporting. Newspapers, magazines, and television all need pictures to tell their stories. Photographers aid scientists by taking pictures through microscopes and telescopes. Deep-sea divers take pictures of ocean plants and animals, while astronauts take cameras into space. Man finds new uses for the cameras every day.
31. In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a new kind of ________.
A. image B. factory C. film D. camera

C. they broke their cameras when taking pictures.
D. they wanted to have their pictures taken by a photographer.
33. On the whole, this passage is about________ .
A. the field of photography B. the life of George Eastman
C. how photographers aid scientists D. George Eastman invented the first camera
34. Why did people begin to buy their own cameras
A. Taking and developing pictures became easier.
B. They did not like to go to photographers.
C. They wanted to see what a camera looked like.
D. They wanted to find a way to make their pictures permanent.
35. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Deep-sea divers do not use cameras.

C. There are different kinds of cameras.
D. Early man found a way to make photographers aid scientists.
D
But the cameras do not know whether the person is a family member, a friend, a postman or a criminal (罪犯).
But a new camera made by a French company can recognize (辨别出) faces. It can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that the mail has been sent to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home. When family members enter a home, the smart camera “recognizes” them and sends information to the owner’s phone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send a warning sound on the owner’s phone.
This is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien. He lives in Paris.
“On a Friday I was at work, having a big monthly meeting when my phone moved. At first I told myself ‘Oh, it must be a wrong warn,’ but my phone was telling me there was a face that the camera did not recognize. Something was happening in my house!”
“I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on, which is not allowed in my apartment (公寓). I watched it on the video. I felt quite surprised. I hurried back home as fast as possible and called the police on the way. Thanks to the smart camera, the criminal was caught soon,” said Damien.
36．Where does Damien live
A．In China. B．In England. C．In America. D．In Paris.
37．The new smart camera is different from the ones in many homes because it can _______.
A．protect the owner B．help a school child
C．recognize faces D．call the police
38．In Damien’s apartment, people can’t _______.
A．wear shoes B．watch videos C．have cameras D．send mails
39．If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best
( ①=Para. (自然段)1 ② = Para. 2 ③ = Para. 3 ④ = Para. 4 ⑤ = Para. 5)
A．①;②③;④⑤ B．①;②;③④⑤ C．①②③;④;⑤ D．①②;③④;⑤
40．The best title of the passage may be “_______”.
A．Catching Criminals in a Better Way B．Strange Video Faces
C．Warning Sound on the Phone D．Smart Home Cameras

Each Friday, my son's kindergarten(幼儿园)class has “a prize day”. All the children who do well in the week can get a prize. The children have behavior cards. The cards start out green every morning, but are changed from green to yellow, orange and finally to red if they do something wrong. Most of the children never change their cards from green.
On many Fridays, a boy named Tommy often walks out with an unsmiling face because he has had a bad day or two that week. Tommy is a naughty boy and he often causes trouble. Other children would tell their parents, “Tommy got angry, ” or “Tommy didn't listen to the teacher, ” or “Tommy got trouble today.” But recently, things have become much better for Tommy. My son reports proudly each day, “All GREEN today.”
Last night, after I kissed him goodnight, he said he was very excited because tomorrow was a prize day. “And I hope, hope, hope that Tommy stays on green！” My heart was filled with pride. I told my son how kind it was of him to think of Tommy rather than caring about his own prize.

【解析】本篇文章讲述了现在常见的社会现象——在吃饭前拿手机对食物拍照，拍完照片放在网络上，而且不时地看手机，想着别人会不会喜欢自己的美食照片，会有多少人点赞。专家认为这种行为是不好的，一方面花时间拍照，食物变得没那么好吃；另一方面，眼前的人会被忽视，因为拍照片的人就像被手机不停地“呼唤”，看有多少人点赞。专家呼吁，让食物美味如初，享受与眼前人的相聚时刻。
11．句意：这种情况经常发生，尤其是我们在外面吃饭的时候。
hardly几乎不；almost几乎；especially尤其；unexpectedly出乎意料的；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“尤其，特别”，英语是especially，是一个副词，修饰后句，故选C。
12．句意：看看我们是否被“喜欢”。
whether书否；what什么；when何时；how怎么样；根据句意理解及句子结构的可知，这里是一个宾语从句，缺的是一个引导词，而后句中有or not，且空格表达的是“是否”，所以这里需要用引导一般疑问句的引导词whether，故选A。

recent最近的；possible可能的；important重要的；daily日常的；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“最近的，近期的”，英语是recent，故选A。

15．句意：有些人被要求在享受食物之前拍照。
after在……之后；before在……之前；until直到……；unless除非；根据句意理解及前文Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and take photos. 一道菜上来了，我们就拿出手机拍照，而不是拿起筷子。可知这里表达的是“在享受食物之前”，英语是before，引导时间状语从句，故选B。
16．句意：结果，他们拍的照片越多，食物就越不好吃。
In that case如果那样的话；As far as I know据我所知；after all毕竟；As a result结果；根据句意理解及前文A(n) ____3_____ study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good.可知，这里表达的是研究结果，所以这里表达“结果”，故选D。
17．句意：他们拍的照片越多，食物就越不好吃。
less更少的；more更多的；least最少的；most最多的；根据句意理解及后句So, why not ___18____ taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you 可知，这里表达的是“越不好吃”，英语是less修饰，故选A。
18．句意：为什么不停止拍照，享受眼前的美食呢？
continue继续；consider考虑；regret遗憾；stop停止；根据句意理解及前句the more photos they took, the ____17_____ delicious the food seemed to them.可知，这里表达的是“停止拍照”，所以应该用stop，故选D。
19．句意：除了科学结果外，饭前拍照还有其他一些不良影响。
Except除……之外，不包括除去的部分；But除了……之外不再有，表示一种排除关系；Besides除……之外还有，包括除去的部分；Beside在……旁边；根据句意理解及后句there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. 饭前拍照还有其他一些不良影响。可知这里表达的是“除……之外还有”，故选C。

It worked well in natural light, and I took a lot of photos with it. From then on, I had an artist's eye. My pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead, I took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets. I captured the colour and character of the country. My friends were so interested that they asked for more.
Of course, I won the first prize easily in some photo competitions. My friends often told me that I moved from an amateur (业余爱好者) to an artist.
21. According to the passage, the writer's first camera was very ________．
A. ugly B. expensive C. simple D. advanced
22.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “captured”

D. learns how to draw and paint pictures of a place
25. What's the best title of the passage
A. An Artist B. A Photographer C. A Lost Camera D. My First Photo
【答案】21. C 22.C 23. A 24. C 25. B
【解析】本文介绍了作者从9岁的时候就开始拍摄照片。在16岁时买了一部佳能相机，自此，拍摄了许多欧洲的地标性建筑。结果相机被偷了，直到作者看到Vivitar Series 相机，又买了一部。从这以后作者拍摄的不在是熟悉的希腊建筑而是一些农民在田里干活的照片。而且在一些摄影比赛中获得过一等奖。
21.推理判断题。题干的意思是：根据这篇文章，作者的第一部相机__________。A. ugly丑陋的；B. expensive贵的；C. simple简单的；D. advanced先进的。由句子When I was 16 years old, I bought a Canon camera before an overseas trip. 可知，当我16岁的时候，我在海外旅行之前买了一台佳能相机。说明第一部相机质量不好，因此B/D不对；再由句While I couldn't even remember the model of the camera, I do remember the enjoyment of looking through the photos.可知，作者甚至不记得相机的模型，说明相机应该是简单的，而不是丑陋的。故选C。
22.C 字义猜测题。Capture 本意“捕获”之意。这四个选项都是它的意义。但由句子Instead, I took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets. I captured the color and character of the country.相反，我拍了一些农民在田里干活的照片，渔民们修理他们的网，我______了乡村的颜色和特征。所以这里有抓拍的意思。故答案选C。
23.细节理解题。由句子Instead, I took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets. I captured the color and character of the country.相反，我拍了一些农民在田里干活的照片，渔民们修理他们的网，我捕获了乡村的颜色和特征。可知，作者最近的照片是关于乡村的颜色和特征的照片。故选A。
24.推理判断题。题干的意思是：一个人可以成为艺术家，如果他_______。A项的意思是：随身带着相机；B项的意思是：知道一个地方的历史；C项的意思是：不仅对地标感兴趣，而且对一个地方的人感兴趣；D项的意思是：学习如何画和画一个地方的图片。根据短文第三段的叙述，可知，作者的照片不在是熟悉的希腊建筑。相反，她拍了一些农民在田里干活的照片，渔民们修理他们的网的照片。她捕获了这个乡村的颜色和特征。和My friends often told me that I moved from an amateur (业余爱好者) to an artist. 我的朋友们经常告诉我，我从一个业余爱好者变成了一个艺术家。所以说，如果一个人不仅对地标感兴趣，而且对一个地方的人感兴趣的话，就可以成为艺术家。故选C。
25.推理判断题。A. An Artist一个艺术家；B. A Photographer一位摄影师；C. A Lost Camera丢失的相机；D. My First Photo我的第一张照片。本文介绍的内容与摄影有关，介绍了作者是怎样成为摄影师的。故选B。

What’s the best way to remember our happiest moments, like a birthday or festival I bet you would answer , “Take lots of photos!” Well, here is a great surprise. People who always take photos may actually be harming(伤害) their memory, because they’re not concentrating on the event itself. That’s according to new research by Fairfield University, Connecticut, in the US. They call this the “photo-taking impairment(损害) affect”.
“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them,” Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened(减弱) a visitor’s memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum, and either take photos of the items on display, or try to remember what they had seen. In addition(另外), the amount(数量) of detail(细节) they remembered was worse than those who didn’t take photos. “These results show how the mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don’t put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event, compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo, just think: is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes, or behind the eye of the camera
26. When we take photos, we _________.
A．fail to focus on the event itself
B．can’t record the details
C．remember what we have seen
D．are likely to have a poor memory
27.Which of the following is NOT true about the experiment
A．People who didn’t take photos did better in the experiment.
B．They asked a group to try to remember what they had seen.
C．The experiment aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.
D．People who took photos in the museum could remember less details.
28.According to the passage, we’d better _________.
A．never use our cameras
B．remember an event by heart
C．always remember an event with the help of a camera
D．see everything only with our own eyes
29.What do the results of the experiment show us
A．The mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same.
B．People remember happiest moments by taking photos.
C．Looking back at old photos helps us remember an event.
D．People don’t like taking photos.
30.Where can we probably read this passage
A．The entrance of a museum.
B．A guidebook on how to take good pictures.
C．An instruction of how to use a camera.
D．A scientific report.
【答案】ACBAD

The invention of the camera goes far into the past. In the 1500s, men were experimenting with cameras that made images. But it was not until the early 1800s that man found a way to make the pictures permanent. Even then, photography was a new field. Most families had their pictures taken by a photographer. People did not own cameras because taking pictures and developing the film were too difficult. In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a kind of film that fit into a small camera. Because the new film was easy to use, many people began to buy cameras. When they had used up their film, people returned their cameras to the factory. There, the film was developed, and pictures were printed. Then more film was put into the cameras, which was sent back to the owners, along with their pictures. Eastman’s camera made it easy to take pictures. Today’s cameras are even easier to use, and people can put in their own film. Photography has become a growing hobby. There are also many new jobs in the field of photography. One of the most important kinds of work is in news reporting. Newspapers, magazines, and television all need pictures to tell their stories. Photographers aid scientists by taking pictures through microscopes and telescopes. Deep-sea divers take pictures of ocean plants and animals, while astronauts take cameras into space. Man finds new uses for the cameras every day.

But the cameras do not know whether the person is a family member, a friend, a postman or a criminal (罪犯).
But a new camera made by a French company can recognize (辨别出) faces. It can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that the mail has been sent to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home. When family members enter a home, the smart camera “recognizes” them and sends information to the owner’s phone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send a warning sound on the owner’s phone.
This is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien. He lives in Paris.
“On a Friday I was at work, having a big monthly meeting when my phone moved. At first I told myself ‘Oh, it must be a wrong warn,’ but my phone was telling me there was a face that the camera did not recognize. Something was happening in my house!”
“I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on, which is not allowed in my apartment (公寓). I watched it on the video. I felt quite surprised. I hurried back home as fast as possible and called the police on the way. Thanks to the smart camera, the criminal was caught soon,” said Damien.

第二节、阅读回答问题（10分）
Each Friday, my son's kindergarten(幼儿园)class has “a prize day”. All the children who do well in the week can get a prize. The children have behavior cards. The cards start out green every morning, but are changed from green to yellow, orange and finally to red if they do something wrong. Most of the children never change their cards from green.
On many Fridays, a boy named Tommy often walks out with an unsmiling face because he has had a bad day or two that week. Tommy is a naughty boy and he often causes trouble. Other children would tell their parents, “Tommy got angry, ” or “Tommy didn't listen to the teacher, ” or “Tommy got trouble today.” But recently, things have become much better for Tommy. My son reports proudly each day, “All GREEN today.”
Last night, after I kissed him goodnight, he said he was very excited because tomorrow was a prize day. “And I hope, hope, hope that Tommy stays on green！” My heart was filled with pride. I told my son how kind it was of him to think of Tommy rather than caring about his own prize.
