16．Camera flashes cut across the softly lighted downtown Los Angeles restaurant，as the crowd at Ludo Bites jostles（推挤）for the photo-of the Columbian River king salmon duck．"This is the game we all now play，"chef and owner Ludo Lefebvre said．"We cook，we smile-and the people，they don't eat．They get their cameras．"
Not so long ago，diners，hungry for special meals，would pull out a point-and-shoot at a restaurant for a quick picture of sliced birthday cake．
No more．Taking a cue from Twitter and Facebook cultures，serious foodies（美食家）and casual consumers alike are using digital technology to document each bite，then sharing the pictures online．
Flickr，the photo-sharing website，has seen the number of pictures tagged as"food"jump from about half a million in 2008to more than 6million today，according to company officials．In the group"I Ate This"on Flickr's site，nearly 20，000people have uploaded more than 307，000images of their latest meals．
Camera manufacturers are joining the trend，selling cameras that offer"food"settings，which adjust to enhance colors and textures（质地）on close-ups．
"I am sharing my experiences with my friends，"said Hong Pham，33，a Los Angeles radiologist who runs the food blog Ravenous Couple．"Why shouldn't I share what inspires me？"
But what is documentary fun for people such as Pham is souring the gastronomic（美食的）set．
Managers regularly face diners demanding to be moved away from camera flashes and sounds．Waiters find themselves tongue-tied as customers take out voice recorders to capture a recitation of each course．Some chefs have had enough．
Chef Grant Achatz allows only no-flash photography in his restaurant．He，like many other chefs，finds himself torn between being flattered by the public's enthusiasm and annoyed with the effect the picture-taking is having on the restaurant's operation．
Some consumers now believe food should be consumed visually as well as physically．"What happened to the enjoyment of just eating the food？"said Andrew Knowlton，the restaurant editor for Bon Appetite magazine．"People are losing sight of why you go out．"

72．Who is the most supportive of taking pictures of food in restaurantsC？
A．Grant Achatz． B．Andrew Knowlton． C．Hong Pham． D．Ludo Lefebvre．

B．Consumers used to take pictures in restaurants only for their birthdays．
C．Rules should be set out that there is no food photography in restaurants．
D．Chefs are likely to accept picture-taking in their restaurants to a limited extent．

A．have toB．don't have toC．canD．can't
7．Family Values
    To understand a nation，you should first get to know its minimum unit-family．（36 ）B
In the US，upon reaching an appropriate age，children are encouraged，but not forced，to"leave the nest"and begin an independent life．（37）DParents do not arrange marriages for their children，nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married．Young adults meet their future spouses（配偶）through other friends，at jobs，and in organizations and religious institutions．Although children choose their own spouses，they still hope their parents will approve of their choices．
Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families．A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job．（38）FA son may deliberately decide not to go into his father's business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father's workplace．This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other．Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family．
（39）AIt is not like we Chinese．Parents are rulers and masters．We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect．In America，children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents，like family financial situation，the relationship between mother and father，and even sex．
（40）ETherefore，it is contrary that，on one hand，Americans admire independence and equality that they don't want to make sacrifice to make up a family，but on the other hand，Americans thing highly of family in their value system．

A．In the American family，children and parents are equal．
B．It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation．
C．When it comes to big problems，children do not have to always follow their parents'ways．
D．After children leave home，they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family．
E．Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality，they don't believe in making sacrifice．
F．Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence．
G．Many of them are expected to leave what could be life's most important decision-marriage almost entirely up to luck．
4．Today is National Bike-to-Work Day．And on New York City's jammed streets，people are cycling on hundreds of miles of new bike lanes．But New York's widespread efforts to make streets safer for bikes have also left some locals complaining about the loss of parking spots and lanes for cars．
When the weather is good，Aaron Naparstek likes to pedal（用踏板踩）his two young kids to school on a special Dutch-made bicycle．Naparstek supports the new lane．
Aaron：The bike lane on Prospect Park West is really introducing a lot of new people to the idea that it's possible to use a bike in New York City for transportation or to travel around．This is what 21st century New York City looks like．
Prospect Park West is still a one-way road，but where it used to have three lanes of car traffic，now it has two，plus a protected bike lane．Supporters say that makes the road safer for everyone，including pedestrians，by slowing down cars and taking bikes off the sidewalk．But some longtime residents disagree．Lois Carswell is president of a group called Seniors for Safety．She says the two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents who are used to one-way traffic．
Lois：We wanted a lane-the right kind of lane that would keep everybody safe，that would keep the bikers safe．But we want it to be done the right way．And it has not been done the right way．
Craig Palmer builds bars and restaurants in Manhattan．I was interviewing him for a different story when he brought up the bike lanes all on his own．
Craig：I think the biggest problem is that Bloomberg put all these bike lanes in．You took what used to be a full street and you're shrinking it．
Then there are the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg，Brooklyn，who forced the city to remove a bike lane through their neighborhood．But polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support bike lanes by a margin of 56% to 39%．Bicycle advocate Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives calls that  a mandate．
Caroline：If this was an election，we would have already had our victory．The public has spoken and they keep speaking．And I think，more importantly，the public is starting to vote with their pedals．

72．What does Aaron mean by saying"This is what 21st century New York City looks like．"？C
A．There are hundreds of miles of new bike lanes in 21st century New York City．
B．Drivers slow down their cars and bikes are taken off the sidewalk in New York．
C．Bikes are used as a means of transport in 21st century New York City．
D．It's possible to make the streets safe for pedestrians in New York．
73．According to the passage，which of the following CANNOT support the opponents of these new bike lanes？C

11．Just 25years ago，the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher，banker and doctor．Now，they want to be sports star，pop star and actor，according to  survey by the Guardian newspaper．
Rachel，a character in the popular TV show Glee，may be said to speak for British teenagers．"Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor．"He said．
Emma Brockes，a reporter with the Guardian，believes it is"the bad influence of celebrity（名人） culture"that is to blame．"When children wanted to be doctor，it wasn't because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now； you go where the respect is．"She wrote．
It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression．Dr Carlo Stranger，of Tel Aviv University，studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance：Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century．He told the Daily Mail that young people now are"affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network，which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession（痴迷）．"
"As humans，we naturally measure ourselves to those around us，but now we live in a global village．We are comparing ourselves with the most‘important'people in the world and finding ourselves wanting，"he said．Today，even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media．
The way out？Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity．Dr Strenger said that it is a process called"active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life．"
"The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement，"he said．

1．In Europe，people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal，a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag（曲折的）method．Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal，so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat．It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets，making a lot of noises．
A few explanations for this American style are as follows：?
（1）Americans are practical and efficient．Since most of us are right-handed，it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently．?
（2）Americans，the master of the New World are rebels（叛逆者）．They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England．Americans are a restless kind．They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining．
（3）Forced to do so，they respond by"playing"with the silver．?
Whatever the reason for the practice，it is now certainly as American as apple pie．Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence（无知）of form．Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition．In Old World dining，the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders（入侵者）．However，such alertness（警觉） is out of place in the New World，as every American believes that this is the home of the brave．Americans juggle their silverware，perhaps，to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades（刀）．
31．Americans use _______ to hold their fork to pick up the salad．A
A．the right hand   
B．the left hand
C．both hands     
D．either of the two hands
32．As the masters of the New World，Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World toB．
A．show their independence of Mother England
B．show their disrespect to Mother England
C．add a new tradition to those in Mother England
D．show off their creativeness to Mother England
33．In the last sentence，the word"juggle"probably meansB
A．hold       B．play with         C．pick up            D．lay down
34．Also in the last sentence，the two"them"refer toC
A．Americans              
B．Europeans and Americans separately
C．Americans and Europeans separately           
D．Europeans                    
35．Which of the following statements is NOT true？D
A．European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand．
B．The zigzag eating method is related to American characteristics．
C．The zigzag eating method has become an American feature．
D．European people will use the American method because of its efficiency．
8．You have probably read the books．You have probably seen the movies．But have you heard the music？The latest Harry Potter news is that bands form to play what is called"wizard rock"or sometimes just"wrock"．
The new kind of music began when Joe De George and his brother Paul decided that the characters from Harry Potter would make a great band．Ron on guitar，Hermione on bass，Hagrid on drums and Harry singing up front would make for an excellent group．In one day，the brothers wrote，rehearsed and performed six songs about life at Hogwarts．After the first performance，Paul decided that"we are Harry and the potters．"
Wizard rock is pretty much what it sounds like：rock"n"rock inspired by and set in the world of Harry Potter．The De George started a trend．Today there are dozens of wizard-rock bands：the Whomping Willows，the Remus Lupins and the Moaning Myrtles to name a few．Rockers dress like Hogwarts students and play at conventions and festivals．
People who like Harry Potter think wizard rock music is totally awesome．The songs can be funny，but the music is not a joke．Just ask the De George brothers．They've played more than 500shows in 49states and their hit songs are inspired by characters from Harry Potter："Save Ginny Weasley"and"Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!"The themes of their music are the same as those of Rowling's books：love and friendship，upset and struggle．
Wizard rock is just one more by-product in the Harry Potter craze．Two years after J．K．Rowling published her last book in the series，Potter popularity continues to grow．There are Potter conventions and Potter clubs that try to get kids and grow-ups to help fight hunger，for example．And the fact that they may do it while humming"Wizard Chess"or"Platform 9"makes those meetings fun．

51．What is the text mainly about？C
A．Harry Potter．       B．Harry Potter's music． 
C．Wizard rock．         D．Joe and Paul's band．

A．amusing           B．serious           C．considerate       D．inviting
53．Which of the following is true about wizard rock？D
A．It's no different from rock"n"rock．
B．It's sung in the films Harry Potter．
C．It's a funny business．
D．It follows the themes in Rowling's books．
54．According to the last paragraph，we can learn thatA．
A．Harry Potter has had great effects in many aspects
B．Harry Potter is very popular in the world
C．Wizard rock is Harry Potter's only by-product
D．Potter's clubs have helped the hungry．
5．It was a winter morning，just a couple of weeks before Christmas．While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor，my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work．On arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does．After putting in 10hours of labor，he returned to find his bike gone．
The bike，a black Kona 18speed，was our only transport．Trevor used it to get to work，putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family．And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live．
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story．Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help．One wonderful stranger even bought a bike，and then called my husband to pick it up．Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job．It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before．
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another，but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so．This experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity．And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we，too，can share with others．No matter how big or how small，an act of kindness shows that someone cares．And the results can be everlasting．

56．Why was the bike so important to the couple？C
A．The man's job was bike racing．
B．It was their only possession．
C．They used it for work and daily life．
D．It was a nice Kona 18speed．
57．We can infer from the text thatD．
A．the couple worked 60hours a week．
B．people were busy before Christmas
C．the stranger brought over the bike
D．life was hard for the young family．
58．How did people get to know the couple's problem？B
A．From radio broadcasts．    B．From a newspaper．
C．From TV news．             D．From a stranger．
59．What do the couple learn from their experience？D
A．Strangers are usually of little help．
B．One should take care of their bike．
C．News reports make people famous．
D．An act of kindness can mean a lot．
6．Why ________ it rain on Sundays？We can't go camping as planned．What a pity！（　　）
