Ⅱ.阅读理解

[2015·河北唐山统考]Instagram is containing so many photos of food－now a popup diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new popup restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. “The Picture House” is the world's first paybyphoto restaurant－you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant Birds Eye,
who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction to
photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They
conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British
population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they
realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The popup diner was open in Soho, London for three
days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities.
They serve twocourse meals that customers don't have to pay
for, if they photo and instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's “Food for Life”
campaign， a new marketing project that aims at changing the
way people look at frozen food. “Taking photos of food
enables people to show off and to share their mealtime
moments－from every day to the special，” said marketing
director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to
“The Picture House” has been great so
far. And the paybypicture concept has proven to be an
effective way.
Alternative payment methods are actually
gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a
café in Germany customers paid by how much time they spent
there, not by what they ate.
现在在餐馆里兴起了一种新的付款方式，那就是顾客将食物照片上传到Instagram上，就可以免费享受美食了。
1．Instagram probably is________.
A．a restaurant free of charge
B．an application used to share photos
C．a new marketing project
D．a campaign of “Food for Life”
答案：B'考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Instagram is containing so
many photos of food”及第二段中的“you order，click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free”可知，
Instagram可能是一个分享图片的应用程序。
2．What's the author's attitude to this new trend?
A．Interested.
B．Opposed.
C．Confused.
D．Unconcerned.
答案：A'考查观点态度。根据第二段的第一句“I always thought
people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at
this new popup restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too”
可知，作者对这种新潮流感兴趣。
3．“The Picture House”
encourages sharing photos of its food to________.
A．create a new social media trend
B．raise the price of frozen food
C．attract more customers
D．reward the regular customers
答案：C'考查推理判断。根据第三段的最后一句“So they realized it
was a better way to advertise their new dining range”可推知，分享食物照片是一种更好的为新的餐饮系列做广告的方式，因此该餐馆鼓励顾客分享食物照片是为了吸引更多的顾客。
4．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the
passage?
A．No Need to Pay
B．The Popup Diner
C．Food for Life
D．Pay by Picture
答案：D'考查标题判断。本篇文章主要介绍了在一个饭店可以通过分享食物图片来付款，因此D项为最佳标题。
1．addiction n. 上瘾；沉溺
2．advertise vt./vi. 为……做广告；登广告
3．campaign n. 作战；运动
4．concept n. 观念；概念
5．alternative adj. 供选择的；交替的
1．take advantage of 利用
2．come up with 提出；想出
3．show off 炫耀；卖弄
原文：They serve twocourse meals that customers don't have to pay
for, if they photo and instagram it.(定语从句)
译文：如果他们拍照并分享，他们就提供给顾客两道菜不用付费的大餐。
仿写：We'll reach the sales targets in a month which/that_we_set_at_the_beginning_of_the_year.

[2015·河南洛阳统考]Some people like modern art, while others say that is
rubbish. But a cleaner who works in the Tate Gallery in
London isn't able to tell the difference. The woman, whose
name isn't known, mistook a work of art by the German
painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, and threw it out
with other bags. The plastic bag, which contained pieces of
paper and cardboard,
was later recovered outside the gallery,
but the artist thought that it was too damaged to be put on
show again. 78yearold Mr. Metzger explained that the
exhibit, which he said was a copy of a similar work he had
created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary
and “finite” (有限的)．
Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had
had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things
should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr.
Metzger would be paid any compensation for the incident.However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not
happen again, they decided to cover Mr. Metzger's work every
evening with a coloured cloth. In this way the cleaners
arriving after the gallery had closed to the general public
would realize they should not touch it.
This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had
trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001, in
another London gallery, a cleaner threw away a work by the
wellknown British artist Damien Hirst.
It was an arrangement
of empty beer bottles, coffee cups, and overflowing ashtrays,
which were meant to indicate the chaos in the life of an artist.
However, cleaners don't always throw things away－sometimes they clean them! This was the case with a dirty
bath, which was on show in a gallery in Germany. Without
asking what the bath was doing in the gallery, the cleaners
simply scrubbed it clean.
有些人喜欢现代艺术，有些人不喜欢。本文介绍了在美术馆工作的清洁工错误地将现代艺术作品当成垃圾扔掉或误认为是很脏而擦干净的事。
5．What's the best title of the passage?
A．Cleaners Mistake Modern Art for Rubbish
B．Modern Art Shouldn't Be Cleaned
C．What Makes A Great Work of Art
D．Cleaners don't Always Throw Things Away
答案：A 考查标题判断。文章开头的前两句话点明了主题，然后全文都是围绕清洁工误把现代艺术作品当成垃圾展开，即A项正确。
6．Which of the following is not true?
A．People have different opinions on modern art.
B．Mr. Metzger would be paid much compensation.
C．A work of Damien Hirst was thrown away by a cleaner in
2001.
D．Some modern work is about artists' chaos of their life.
答案：B 考查正误判断。根据第一段的第一句可知A项表述正确；根据第二段的第二句可知B项表述错误；根据第三段的第二句和最后一句可知C、D两项表述正确。故选B项。
7．The officials of the museum covered Mr.Metzger's work so
that________.
A．the visitors couldn't get close in the evening
B．they could get recovered soon
C．the cleaners wouldn't make the same mistake
D．they would return to normal
答案：C 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“However, to
make
absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they
decided to cover...with a coloured cloth”可知，他们这样做的目的是避免清洁工再次犯同样的错误，即C项正确。
8．The last paragraph is written to show that________.
A．cleaners often make exhibits as clean as possible
B．cleaners can't always differ exhibits from rubbish
C．exhibits are usually difficult to clean
D．exhibits are not always so beautiful
答案：B 考查写作意图。最后一段通过讲述清洁工误把现代艺术作品当成脏东西而擦掉的事来说明清洁工并不总是能分清现代艺术作品与垃圾，即B项正确。
1．plastic adj./n. 塑料的；塑料
2．temporary adj. 暂时的；临时的
3．compensation n. 补偿；赔偿金
4．absolutely adv. 彻底地；绝对地
5．indicate vt. 暗示，指示，表明
1．in this way 用这种方法 2.throw away 扔掉
3．on show 在展览中
原文：This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had
trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish.(This is＋序数词＋that从句)
译文：这已经不是第一次博物馆清洁工分辨展品与垃圾有困难了。
仿写：This is the first time we have_seen_the_film “Frozen” in the cinema together as a family.
这是我们第一次作为一个家庭一起在电影院看《冰雪奇缘》这部电影。
