They conducted a survey and found out that morethan half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So theyrealized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London forthree days in May，and is nowmoving to other major UK cities．They servetwo-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo andlnstagram it．The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s“Food for Life”campaign，a newmarketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Takin g photosof food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from theeveryday to the special，”saidmarketing director Margaret Jobling．The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far And thepay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternativepayment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in acafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by whatthey eat．21.Instagram probably is______．A.a restaurant free of chmgeB.a campaign of“Food for Life’’C.a program used to share photosD.a new marketing project22.What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?A.ConfusedB.UnconcernedC.OpposedD.Interested23.“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of i ts food to_____．A.raise the price of frozen foodB.attract more customersC.create a new social media trendD.reward the regular customers24.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A.Pay by PictureB.The Pop-up DinerC.No Need to PayD.Food for LifeBOne day a friend asked my wife Jill if I wanted a hearing aid. “He certainly does,”replied Jill. After hearing about a remarkable new product, Jill finally got up the nerve to ask me if I’d ever thought about getting a hearing aid. “No way,”I said. “It would make me look 20 years older.”“No,no”she replied. “This is entirely different. It’s Crystal Ear!”Jill was right. Crystal Ear is different –––– not the old-styled body worn or over-the-ear aid, but an advanced personal sound system so small it’s like contacts for your ears. And Crystal Ear is super-sensitive and powerful, too. You will hear sounds your ears have been missing for years. Crystal Ear will make speech louder, and the sound is pure and natural.I couldn’t believe how tiny it is. It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and it’s almost invisible when worn. There are no wires, no behind-the-ear device. Put it in your ear and its-ready-to-wear mold fits comfortable. Since it’s not too loud or too light, you may even forget that you’re wearing it! Use it at work or at play. And if your hearing problem is worse in certain situation, use Crystal Ear only when you need it.Hearing loss, which is typically prior to teenage years, progresses throughout one’slifetime. Although hearing loss is now the world’s number-one health problem, nearly 90 percent of people suffering hearing loss choose to leave the problem untreated. For many millions, treating hearing loss in a conventional way can involve numerous office visits, expensive testing and adjustments to fit your ear. Thanks to Crystal Ear, the “sound solution”is now convenient. Almost 90 percent of people with mild hearing loss, and millions more with just a little hearing dropoff, can be dramatically helped with Crystal Ear. Moreover, its superior design is energy-efficient, so batteries can last months. Crystal Ear is now available to help these people treat their hearing loss with a small hearing amplifier(扩音器).25.

In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.Several thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even if a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficultfor it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal(木炭) or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.This does not only mean that the villagers? sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up—allowing the rain to sink in and also hold the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.28.What is the most important function of trees?A. Providing fuel.B. Offering shade.C. Preventing natural disasters.D. Providing wood.29.What eventually happened to the empire in paragraph 3?A. Its people died of hunger.B. It fell to pieces.C. It became a giant empire.D. It built many ships with wood.30.It is implied in the passage that the villagers .A. want a plentiful supply of treesB. want firewood badlyC. just want to get moneyD. don’t rea lize the importance of trees31.What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. The benefits of trees.B. Trees and soil protection.C. The various uses of trees.D. Different attitudes toward trees.CA couple of weeks ago,my 12-year-old daughter Ella,threatened to take my phone and break it."At night you'll always have your phone out and you'll just type,"Ella says,"I'm ready to go to bed,and try to get you to read stories for me and you're just standing there readingyour texts and texting other people,"she adds.I came to realize that I was ignoring her as a father.Ella isn't the only kid who feels this way about her parent's relationship withdevices.Catherine Steiner-Adair,a psychologist at Harvard,wrote The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age.For her book,Steiner-Adair interviewed more than 1,000 kids from the ages of 4 to 18.She talked to hundreds of teachers and parents."One of the many things that knocked my socks off,"she says,"was the consistency（一致性）with which children—whether they were 4 or 8 or 18—talked about feeling exhausted and frustrated or mad trying to get their parents' attention,competing with computer screens or iPhone screens or any kind of technology."A couple of years ago,my daughter got a laptop for school.And because she was becoming more independent, we got her a phone.We set up rules for when she could use the device and when she'd need to put it away.We created a charging station,outside her bedroom,where she had to plug in these devices every night.Basically,except for homework,she has to put it all away when she comes home.Steiner-Adair says most adults don't set up similar limits in their own lives."We've lost the boundaries that protect work and family life,"she says."So it is very hard to manage yourself and be present in the moments your children need you."After my daughter's little intervention（介入）,I made myself a promise to create my own charging station.To plug my phone in—somewhere far away—when I am done working for the day.I've been trying to leave it there untouched for most of the weekend.32.Why did Ella threaten to break her father's phone?A.Her father spent a lot of money on his phone.B.Her father did not do any housework at home.C.Her father made a lot of noise by talking on the phone.D.Her father gave his attention to his phone instead of her.33.The underlined phrase "knocked my socks off" is closest in meaning to “_____”.A.made fun of meB.surprised me a lotC.took my socks offD.made me exhausted34.In Steiner-Adair's opinion,parents______.A.should control their use of phonesB.have a lot of things to learn from kidsC.don't have to focus more on their kidsD.should not buy phones for their kids35.We can infer from the text that the writer______.A.will not use his phone from now onB.plans to create more charging stations at homeC.is a man who learns from his mistakesD.doesn't think a laptop is helpful to his daughter第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
