They conducted a survey and found out 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 pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course 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 the everyday to the special,” said marketing director Margaret Jobling.‎ The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.‎ ‎1. Instagram probably is_______________.‎ A. a restaurant free of charge B. a campaign of “Food for Life”‎ C. a new marketing project D. a program used to share photos ‎2. “The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to_____________.‎ A. raise the price of frozen food B. attract more customers C. create a new social media trend D. reward the regular customers ‎3.

D 推理判断题。本文主要讲的是英国一家餐厅将餐厅经营与时下流行的照片分享软件相结合的事例，可知Instagram可能是一种分享照片的程序。故选D.‎ ‎2. B 细节理解题。根据第三段So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.可知，他想拓宽餐厅的业务范围，吸引更多的顾客。故选B。‎ ‎3. C 标题判断题。英国一家餐厅将餐厅经营与时下流行的照片分享软件相结合的事例，人们只要上传照片就可以获得免单。所以最佳标题是C. Pay by Picture，故选C.‎ ‎[四]‎ Skydive Greene County Come out and let us teach you how to skydive today!

Every student will be led through the entire day by a licensed instructor.”可判断出D项错。在Tandem Skydiving标题中的“Your freefall with your instructor will last for approximately 40-50 seconds. ” 你与你的导师自由落体将持续约40-50秒。可知保证每一个都有跳伞的自由落体的经验。故选C项。‎ ‎2.

Located on the Southern coast,it keeps beautiful signs of the long period of Moorish rule,nowhere more than in the Alcázar palace building,just one of the city's UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Seville has over a dozen museums, tropical parkland,and probably the best tapas (餐前小吃) culture in all of Spain.‎ Ghent,Belgium Ghent is a city that looks like it should be the setting for a fairy tale. All of the typical Belgium features abound here-waffles and beer.Every year from Saturday before July 21,Ghent hosts a ten-day festival.This music and theater festival draws almost 2 million visitors,as the city streets transform into performance spaces for performers,buskers (街头艺人) and musicians.‎ Palermo,Italy Palermo is the capital city of Sicily,the southern island off the coast ‎ of mainland Italy.The city has an ancient history,and the various cultures that have controlled the island through the years have all left their marks on it. You can see winding street markets,antique (古玩) fairs,and open air nightclubs here.‎ ‎1. Where can visitors enjoy art collections quietly?‎ A. Besancon. B. Barcelona.‎ C. Ghent. D. Palermo.‎ ‎2. What can visitors do in Seville,Spain?‎ A. Visit antique fairs and clubs.‎ B. Enjoy a colorful nightlife.‎ C. Explore over 20 museums.‎ D. Hunt for Moorish influences.‎ ‎3.

They were once ruled by various rulers.‎ B. They are less famous but worth a visit.‎ C. Visitors can enjoy seeing performances.‎ D. They're all UNESCO World Heritage Sites.‎ ‎【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. B ‎【解析】本文是一篇旅游广告类应用文。主要介绍了四个不那么有名但充满了欧洲的恩泽和魅力的城市，讲述了各自的特点。‎ ‎1. 细节理解题。根据“It can be at once sleepy with few tourists but abundant galleries,restaurants,and a wonderful Beaux Arts museum whose collection is second only to the Louvre.”可知，Besancon的美术博物馆收藏仅次于卢浮宫，且游客很少，表明环境很安静。故选A。‎ ‎2. 细节理解题。根据“it keeps beautiful signs of the long period of Moorish rule”可知，在Seville,Spain 可以找到摩尔人长期统治的美丽迹象。故选D。‎ ‎3. 推理判断题。根据“This music and theater festival draws almost 2 million visitors,as the city streets transform into performance spaces for performers,buskers (街头艺人) and musicians.”可知，因为Belgium的城市街道转变为表演者，街头艺人和音乐家的表演空间，这个音乐和戏剧节吸引了将近200万游客。故选D。‎ ‎4. 细节理解题。根据第一段“...or instead you can take a chance and walk the streets of some cities that are a little bit smaller,a little bit less famous,but still full of European grace and charm.Here are four European cities to visit that you probably haven't been to yet.”可知，文章介绍的四个城市都是不那么有名但值得去游玩。故选C。‎ ‎【名师点睛】阅读理解旨在考查考生对于文章整体的理解与细节的把握与分析，要在了解整篇文章框架的基础上进行选择。本篇文章较简单，用地名作小标题，可直接通过题目明确定位答案所在的段落。例如第2题根据题目“What can visitors do in Seville,Spain?”依“Seville,Spain”可直接定位到第三段，由“Located on the Southern coast,it keeps beautiful signs of the long period of Moorish rule...它位于南部海岸，保留了长期的摩尔人统治的美丽迹象...”可知，在这里可以找到摩尔人的影响。故选D。‎ ‎[八]‎ At the Magazine we welcome your contributions!

To teach or not to teach cursive is the question that several state education departments are struggling with.‎ Before you read this write-up $ do a simple exercise. Pick a pen and paper and start writing in cursive. Yes，that fancy handwriting that you learned in grade school. You may not have forgotten the good times you had while writing loopy Ps and Gs as well as curly Ms and Ns. However，the chances are that you won't be able to write it as excellently as you used to. Some people are good at making the perfect loops and curls，while some are bad. I am still terrible at it.‎ Cursive is hardly used by kids anymore as even adults don 't write in this style，unless they are using it for their signature. Learning this handwriting was a usual practice in school for several decades. However，in 2011, the Indiana Department of Education made it optional (可选择的)for schools to teach cursive writing to the students. In fact, there were 46 more states who have done the same. There are some who believe that it ‎ is high time for cursive to retire from school curriculum. After all，if we don ’ t leave the past behind，we cannot make way for new things. If you walk into any classroom，you would find children using keyboards to communicate in written form. On the other hand，fans of this cursive insist on its usefulness. They remind us that if we stop teaching and learning cursive in schools，very soon most of our historical documents will become hard to us.‎ Where do we stand on this subject? Is it the right time to erase an almost forgotten handwriting and live in the keyboarding world? Or can we do both without compromising (妥协)on our school curriculum?
