(2019·济南市针对性训练)
The modern pizza was originally invented in Naples,Italy,but the word pizza is Greek in origin, derived from the Greek word pēktos meaning solid or clotted. The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils,herbs and cheese. The first major innovation that led to flatbread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping. It was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomatoes to their yeast?based flatbread,and so the pizza began.
While it is difficult to say for sure who invented the pizza,it is however believed that modern pizza was first made by baker Raffaele Esposito of Naples.In fact,a popular urban legend holds that the archetypal(原型的) pizza,Pizza Margherita,was invented in 1890,when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte asked the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of the visiting Queen Margherita.Of the three different pizzas he created,the Queen strongly preferred a pie wrapped in the colors of the Italian flag:red (tomato),green (basil),and white(mozzarella).Supposedly,this kind of pizza was then named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita.
Later,the dish has become popular in many parts of the world:
?The first pizzeria,Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba,was opened in 1830 in Naples.
?In North America,the first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 Spring Street in New York City.
?The first Pizza Hut,the chain of pizza restaurants appeared in the United States in 1958.
?Nowadays,many varieties of pizza exist worldwide,along with several dish variants based upon pizza.

Google's new camera, called Google Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2?inch by 2?inch camera, with a three?hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
The device uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of the face,” said Juston Payne, the device's product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, training it to know what happiness looks like. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child's hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Were people concerned it could seem strange?Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides,unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced,” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.

6.What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Brief. B.Touching.
C.Unforgettable. D.Embarrassing.

A.The popularity of the Internet.
B.The advance in technology.
C.The rise of the smartphone industry.
D.The reduction in the price of lens.

8.What is the best title for the text?
A.A New Digital Camera from Google
B.New Gadgets in the Age of Apps

Ⅰ.阅读理解

French cuisine is extremely diverse,with only the Chinese having similar variety in their food.This variety is supported by the French passion for good food in all its forms,France's extraordinary range of different geographical conditions and climates that support the local production of many types of ingredients (原料),and France's long and varied history.In many ways,an understanding of the culture of French food is an understanding of France itself.
Meals range from the very basic,such as the traditional baguette (棍子面包),cheese and inexpensive wine,to very elaborate meals that can include a dozen dishes and different wines consumed over several hours.Obviously,the latter type of dining is hardly used by most people.However,it is this dining that is typically found in“French restaurants”outside France,giving many foreigners the mistaken impression that French food is heavy and complicated.In fact,much of the French cuisine is fairly simple,relying on high?quality fresh ingredients and loving preparation.
Almost all the famous French dishes are regional specialties.The French Mediterranean uses olive oil,herbs and tomatoes in many of its dishes.The cuisine of northwest France uses butter,soured cream and apples.The cuisine of northeast France has a strong German influence which includes beer and sauerkraut.Throughout the south in general there tends to be more use of vegetables and fruit(in part due to the favorable climate).
Any discussion about the influences on French cuisine would be incomplete without recognizing the historical contribution of Italy to the development of French cooking.In 1533,Catherine De Medicis (a Florentine princess) married a French prince.At this point,France was not known for its food.Catherine brought many Italian chefs with her to France,who introduced to France a variety of dishes,food preparation and dining practices.Although France and Italy obviously have evolved very different food cultures,much of France's current food culture can be traced back to this time.

J.K.Rowling frequently shows there is magic every day. Her Harry Potter series has helped people through times of stress and depression and she is always there to deliver wise words of encouragement.
She is one celebrity who is very active on Twitter. So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series, she noticed. Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9?year?old daughter Bailey.
He included a link to his article titled Being a Broke Parent. He explained how he hadn't found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events. The family also doesn't have the Internet or TV, which means there's no “digital babysitter” and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter. Since he received the series, the main thing that has occupied them these days has been reading books together.
Burke admits that he thought he was“to cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties, but he's loving reading them now. “We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud,” Burke explains.“This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone, but it gets me directly involved in something she loves, and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book, which has proven to be a ton of fun.”
After hearing Burke's story, Rowling said how honored she was when Harry Potter was a part of his family's life and offered Burke more books. Besides, people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts. For Burke, this experience, far more than gifts, will be what he treasures.

Ⅰ.七选五
Test anxiety can be a real problem if you're so stressed out over a test that you can't get past the nervousness to focus on the test questions and do your best work. Feeling ready to meet the challenge can keep test anxiety at a manageable level.
Be prepared. Some students think that going to class is all it takes to do well on tests. __1__ You will find your test anxiety eases when you start to study more regularly. The reason is that the more you know the material, the more confident you'll feel. Having confidence going into a test means you expect to do well.
Watch what you're thinking. If expecting to do well on a test can help you relax, what about if you expect you won't do well? __2__ They can contribute to your anxiety. If you find yourself having these thoughts, replace them with positive ones. Not unrealistic positive messages, of course, but ones that are practical and true.
Accept mistakes. Another thing you can do is to learn to keep mistakes in view—especially if you are a perfectionist or you tend to be hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, and you may have heard teachers refer to mistakes as learning opportunities.__3__
__4__ If sitting for a test gets you so stressed out that your mind goes blank and causes you to miss answers that you know, then your level of test anxiety probably needs some attention. Your teacher or your school guidance counsellor(顾问) can be good people to talk to.
Take care of yourself. For some people, this might mean learning a simple breathing exercise. Practice breathing exercise regularly when you feel stressed. __5__ Then you can calm yourself down and get centered.
A.Ask for help.
B.Learn to praise yourself.
C.This helps your body receive a signal to relax.
D.But good study habits and skills are more important.
E.So it's time to regard small failures as valuable experiences.
F.Then you will become more interested in asking questions.
G.You may send yourself some negative messages about the test.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。具体介绍了缓解考试焦虑的五个方法。
1.解析:选D 根据空前一句“Some students think that going to class is all it takes to do well on tests.”可知,一些学生认为去上课就能考好试;根据空后一句“You will find your test anxiety eases when you start to study more regularly.”可知,当你开始更有规律地学习时,你会发现你的考试焦虑减轻了。根据语境可知,空处前后为转折关系,D项“但是良好的学习习惯和技能更为重要”,故D项符合语境。
2.解析:选G 根据空前一句“If expecting to do well on a test can help you relax, what about if you expect you won't do well?”可知,如果期望在考试中表现出色可以帮助你放松,那如果想到自己考得不好呢?结合空后一句可知,空处表示对于考试,你可能向自己发送了消极信息,故G项符合语境。
3.解析:选E 根据该段第一句“Accept mistakes.”可知,该段主要讲述“要接受错误”的观点,再结合空前的“refer to mistakes as learning opportunities”可知,要将失败作为宝贵的经历,故E项符合语境。
4.解析:选A 根据空处所在的位置可知,空处为该段的主题句;根据该段尾句“Your teacher or your school guidance counsellor(顾问) can be good people to talk to.”可知,在考试焦虑过大时可以寻求帮助。据此可知,该段主要讲“寻求帮助”,故A项符合语境。
5.解析:选C 根据空前一句“Practice breathing exercise regularly when you feel stressed.”可知,当你感到有压力时,可以进行呼吸练习。结合常识可知,呼吸练习有助于身体放松,故C项符合语境。
Ⅱ.完形填空
