In the 1760s， Mathurin Roze opened a series of shops that boasted（享有）a special meat soup called consommé． Although the main attraction was the soup， Roze's chain shops also set a new standard for dining out， which helped to establish Roze as the inventor of the modern restaurant．
Today， scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about restaurants． Take visual hints that influence what we eat： diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta（意大利面食）when their plates matched their food． When a dark﹣colored cake was served on a black plate rather than a white one， customers recognized it as sweeter and more tasty．
Lighting matters， too． When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness， they couldn't tell how much they'd had： those given extra﹣large shares ate more than everyone else， but were none the wiser﹣they didn't feel fuller， and they were just as ready for dessert．
Time is money， but that principle means different things for different types of restaurants． Unlike fast﹣food places． fine dining shops prefer customers to stay longer and spend． One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round： put on some Mozart（莫扎特）．When classical， rather than pop， music was playing， diners spent more． Fast music hurried diners out．
Particular scents also have an effect： diners who got the scent of lavender（薰衣草）stayed longer and spent more than those who smelled lemon， or no scent．
Meanwhile， things that you might expect to discourage spending﹣"bad" tables， crowding．high prices﹣don't necessarily． Diners at bad tables﹣next to the kitchen door， say﹣spent nearly as much as others but soon fled． It can be concluded that restaurant keepers need not "be overly concerned about ‘bad' tables，" given that they're profitable． As for crowds， a Hong Kong study found that they increased a restaurant's reputation， suggesting great food at fair prices． And doubling a buffet's price led customers to say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier．

（1）The underlined phrase "none the wiser" in paragraph 3 most probably implies that the customers were　 　．
A． not aware of eating more than usual
B． not willing to share food with others
C． not conscious of the food quality
D． not fond of the food provided
（2）How could a fine dining shop make more profit？　 　
A． playing classical music．
B． Introducing lemon scent．
C． Making the light brighter．
D． Using plates of larger size．
（3）What does the last paragraph talk about？　 　
A． Tips to attract more customers．
B． Problems restaurants are faced with．
C． Ways to improve restaurants' reputation．
D． Common misunderstandings about restaurants．

If you want to disturb the car industry， you'd better have a few billion dollars： Mom﹣and﹣pop carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car companies． But in agriculture， small farmers can get the best of the major players． By connecting directly with customers， and by responding quickly to changes in the markets as well as in the ecosystems（生态系统）， small farmers can keep one step ahead of the big guys． As the co﹣founder of the National Young Farmers Coalition （NYFC， 美国青年农会）and a family farmer myself， I have a front﹣row seat to the innovations among small farmers that are transforming the industry．
For example， take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester， a tool developed just a couple of years ago by a young farmer， Jonathan Dysinger， in Tennessee， with a small loan from a local Slow Money group． It enables small﹣scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour﹣a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand﹣suddenly making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of California． Before the tool came out， small farmers couldn't touch the price per pound offered by California farms． But now， with the combination of a better price point and a generally fresher product， they can stay in business．
The sustainable success of small farmers， though， won't happen without fundamental changes to the industry． One crucial factor is secure access to land． Competition from investors，developers， and established large farmers makes owning one's own land unattainable for many new farmers．From 2004 to 2013， agricultural land values doubled， and they continue to rise in many regions．
Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm workers and managers is a non﹣existent path to citizenship ﹣ the greatest barrier to building a farm of their own． With farmers over the age of 65 outnumbering（多于）farmers younger than 35 by six to one， and with two﹣thirds of the nation's farmland in need of a new farmer， we must clear the path for talented people willing to grow the nation's food．
There are solutions that could light a path toward a more sustainable and fair farm economy，but farmers can't clumsily put them together before us． We at the NYFC need broad support as we urge Congress to increase farmland conservation， as we push for immigration reform， and as we seek policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious next generation of farmers from all backgrounds． With a new farm bill to be debated in Congress， consumers must take a stand with young farmers．

（1）The author mentions car industry at the beginning of the passage to introduce　 　．
A． the progress made in car industry
B． a special feature of agriculture
C． a trend of development in agriculture
D． the importance of investing in car industry
（2）What does the author want to illustrate with the example in paragraph 2？　 　
A． Loans to small local farmers are necessary．
B． Technology is vital for agricultural development．
C． Competition between small and big farms is fierce．
D． Small farmers may gain some advantages over big ones．
（3）What is the difficulty for those new famers？　 　
A． To gain more financial aid．
B． To hire good farm managers．
C． To have farms of their own．
D． To win old farmers' support．
（4）What should farmers do for a more sustainable and fair farm economy？　 　
A． Seek support beyond NYFC．
B． Expand farmland conservation．
C． Become members of NYFC．
D． Invest more to improve technology．

Children as young as ten are becoming dependent on social media for their sense of self﹣worth， a major study warned．
It found many youngsters（少年）now measure their status by how much public approval they get online， often through "like"． Some change their behavior in real life to improve their image on the web．
The report into youngsters aged from 8 to 12 was carried out by Children's Commissioner （专员）Anne Longfield． She said social media firms were exposing children to major emotional risks，with some youngsters starting secondary school ill﹣equipped to cope with the tremendous pressure they faced online．
Some social apps were popular among the children even though they supposedly require users to be at least 13．The youngsters admitted planning trips around potential photo﹣opportunities and then messaging friends﹣and friends of friends﹣to demand "likes" for their online posts．
The report found that youngsters felt their friendships could be at risk if they did not respond to social media posts quickly， and around the clock．
Children aged 8 to 10 were "starting to feel happy" when others liked their posts． However，those in the 10 to 12 age group were "concerned with how many people like their posts"， suggesting a "need" for social recognition that gets stronger the older they become．
Miss Longfield warned that a generation of children risked growing up "worried about their appearance and image as a result of the unrealistic lifestyles they follow on platforms， and increasingly anxious about switching off due to the constant demands of social media"．
She said： "Children are using social media with family and friends and to play games when they are in primary school． But what starts as fun usage of apps turns into tremendous pressure in real social media interaction at secondary school．"
As their world expanded． she said，children compared themselves to others online in a way that was "hugely damaging in terms of their self﹣identity， in terms of their confidence， but also in terms of their ability to develop themselves"．
Miss Longfield added： "Then there is this push to connect﹣if you go offline， will you miss something， will you miss out， will you show that you don't care about those people you are following，all of those come together in a huge way at once．"
"For children it is very， very difficult to cope with emotionally．" The Children's Commissioner for England's study﹣Life in Likes﹣found that children as young as 8 were using social media platforms largely for play．
However， the research﹣involving eight groups of 32 children aged 8 to 12﹣suggested that as they headed toward their teens， they became increasingly anxious online．
By the time they started secondary school﹣at age 11﹣children were already far more aware of their image online and felt under huge pressure to ensure their posts were popular， the report found．
However， they still did not know how to cope with mean﹣spirited jokes， or the sense of incompetence they might feel if they compared themselves to celebrities（名人）or more brilliant friends online． The report said they also faced pressure to respond to messages at all hours of the day﹣especially at secondary school when more youngsters have mobile phones．
The Children's Commissioner said schools and parents must now do more to prepare children for the emotional minefield（雷区）they faced online． And she said social media companies must also "take more responsibility"． They should either monitor their websites better so that children do not sign up too early， or they should adjust their websites to the needs of younger users．
Javed Khan， of children's charity Bamardo's， said： "It's vital that new compulsory age﹣appropriate relationship and sex education lessons in England should help equip children to deal with the growing demands of social media．
"It's also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using．"

（1）Why did some secondary school students feel too much pressure？　 　
A． They were not provided with adequate equipment．
B． They were not well prepared for emotional risks．
C． They were required to give quick responses．
D． They were prevented from using mobile phones．
（2）Some social app companies were to blame because　 　．
A． they didn't adequately check their users' registration
B． they organized photo trips to attract more youngsters
C． they encouraged youngsters to post more photos
D． they didn't stop youngsters from staying up late
（3）Children's comparing themselves to others online may lead to　 　．
A． less friendliness to each other
B． lower self﹣identity and confidence
C． an increase in online cheating
D． a stronger desire to stay online
（4）According to Life in Likes， as children grew， they became more anxious to　 　．
A． circulate their posts quickly
B． know the qualities of their posts
C． use mobile phones for play
D． get more public approval
（5）What should parents do to solve the problem？　 　
A． Communicate more with secondary schools．
B． Urge media companies to create safer apps．
C． Keep track of children's use of social media．
D． Forbid their children from visiting the web．
（6）What does the passage mainly talk about？　 　
A． The influence of social media on children．
B． The importance of social media to children．
C． The problem in building a healthy relationship．
D． The measure to reduce risks from social media．

How Arts Promote Our Economy
When most people think of the arts， they imagine the end product， the beautiful painting， a wonderful piece of music， or an award﹣winning performance in the theater． But arts groups bring broader value to our communities． The economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged．
The arts create jobs that help develop the economy． Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists， technical experts， managers， musicians， or writers to create an appealing piece of art． These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills．
Another group of folks is needed to help market the event． "If you build it they will come" is a misleading belief． Painters， digital media experts， photographers， booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and promote the event． According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition， arts agencies employ more than 10，000 people as full﹣or part﹣time employees or independent contractors．
A successful arts neighborhoods creates a ripple effect（连锁反应）throughout a community． In 2005， when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town， the location was considered a poor area of town． After investing more than﹩1 million in reconstructing the building， we began producing a full season of theater performances， jazz concerts， and year﹣round arts education programs in 2008． Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District．
No doubt the theater has contributed to the area's development and economic growth． Today， there are galleries， studios， restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences， where there is renewed life and energy． In this way， arts and culture also serve as a public good．
Teco Theatrical Productions Inc． made use of Bloomberg's investment of﹩35，000 to get nearly﹩400，000 in public and private sector support during the two﹣year period． Further， Dallas arts and arts﹣based businesses produce﹩298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities． In Philadelphia， a metro area smaller than Dallas， the arts have an economic impact of almost﹩3 million and support 44，000 jobs， 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry， including accountants， marketers， construction workers， hotel managers， printers， and other kinds of art workers．
The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported， the entire small﹣business community benefits．
It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit． But in order to stay in business， arts groups must produce returns． If you are a student studying the arts， chances are you have been ill﹣advised to have a plan B． But those who truly understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities．

11．（1.00分）By boat is the only way to get here， which is _______ we arrived．（　　）
A．where B．when C．why D．how
【分析】乘船是我们到达那里的唯一方法，这就是我们如何到达这里的．
【解答】分析句子的结构可知，is后面为一个句子，是表语从句，结合句意可知，应该是强调的到达的方式．所以用how来引导．where表示地点，when表示时间，而why表示原因，均不符合句子的语境．
故选：D．
【点评】本句是一个名词性从句，解题时要分析句子的结构判断是什么从句，然后根据不同从句的解题技巧选出不正确的答案．同位语从句属于名词性从句中的一种，也是学生们需要掌握的一种基本的英语句型，引导名词性从句的连接词选择是考试的重点，学会分析从句的句子成分是解决名词性从句的解题关键．

【解答】考查动词词义辨析．indicate表明，指示；象征，暗示；investigate调查；审查；imitate模仿，效仿；仿造，伪造；innovate改革，创新．句意：孩子们不应该接触暴力电影，因为他们可能模仿他们看到的东西．
故选：C．
【点评】本题考查动词词义辨析．在熟知词义的基础上，再联系句子所表达的含义，从而选出正确的答案．
　
13．（1.00分）Self﹣driving is an area _______ China and the rest of the world are on the same starting line．（　　）
A．that B．where C．which D．when
【分析】自动驾驶是一个中国和世界上其它国家在同样起点的领域．
【解答】考查限制性定语从句．本题先行词为area，后面句子完整，故选用关系副词where（此处area为抽象地点概念）．以下名词也经常被视作抽象地点case/ point/ activity/ game/ job/ race/ situation/ condition/ family/ system/ letter等．
故选：B．
【点评】考查定语从句，要搞清楚句子成分，找出从句的先行词及从句与先行词之间的逻辑关系，把主句与从句分别翻译出来，然后依照逻辑关系把句子衔接起来．引导定语从句的关系代词有who， whom， whose， which， that等和关系副词where， when ，why等，关系代词和关系副词在定语从句中担任句子成分．如果该从句中缺少主语、表语、宾语或定语，就要用关系代词来连接从句；如果从句中缺少状语，就得用关系副词来连接从句．
　
14．（1.00分）It's strange that he _______ have taken the books without the owner's permission．（　　）
A．would B．should C．could D．might
【分析】真奇怪，没有主人的允许，他竟然把书拿走了．
【解答】考查情态动词．would将，将会；愿意； should 应该；应当；竟然；could能；会；可能；might也许；有可能会；或许（是）；可能（是）．在It is demanded / necessary / a pity + that…等结构的主语从句，谓语动词用should 加动词原形，should 可省略．情态动词should表示说话人对某一动作或状态的表示惊讶的态度．句意：真奇怪，没有主人的允许，他竟然把书拿走了．
故选：B．
【点评】本题考查情态动词的用法．情态动词表示说话人对某一动作或状态的态度，所以在做题时应该把握好说话人的情感态度．另外还要掌握一些情态动词的特殊意义和用法．如：must表示与说话人愿望相反或不耐烦， 意为"偏要，硬要"．should表示惊讶，意思为"竟然"．would+动词原形，表示过去的习惯或某种倾向，意为"过去常常"．shall用于第二人称和第三人称，表示命令、警告、允诺、威胁、规定等．

timetable．（　　）

【点评】考查动词短语词义辨析．弄清楚各个动词短语的词义，准确地翻译句子及备选答案，然后选择最符合题意的选项．
　
16．（1.00分）Around 13，500 new jobs were created during the period， _______ the expected number of 12，000 held by market analysts．（　　）
A．having exceeded B．to exceed
C．exceeded D．exceeding
【分析】在此期间创造了大约13500份就业岗位，超过了市场分析师预计的12000份的数目．
【解答】考查现在分词．分析句子可知，句中有谓语动词were created ，使用此空填非谓语动词，逻辑主语是Around 13，500 new jobs ，与exceed之间是主动关系，表示"超过"，exceed与were created 动作是同时发生，用现在分词作结果状语，表示"自然而然的结果"．
故选：D．
【点评】本题考查非谓语动词用法．做这类题目首先根据句意判断是谓语还是非谓语，如果是分词做状语的时候，看动词与逻辑主语构成主动关系，就使用现在分词的形式；如果二者构成被动关系就使用过去分词的形式．不定式表示动作未发生作目的状语．
　
17．（1.00分）There is a good social life in the village， and I wish I _______ a second chance to become more involved．（　　）
A．had B．will have
C．would have had D．have had
【分析】村里有一个很好的社交生活，我希望我有第二次机会更多地参与其中．
【解答】考查虚拟语气．虚拟语气通常用于wish后的宾语从句中，表示与事实相反或不大可能实现的愿望．通常有三种形式：①对将来发生的事情表示祝愿或愿望：主语+wish+ 从句主语+would（could， might）+动词原形．②表示与现在事实相反的愿望：主语+wish（that）+从句主语+动词一般过去式．③对过去发生的事情表示遗憾或后悔时：主语+wish（that）+从句主语+had+过去分词．前一句中使用了一般现在时，可知wish从句中表示与现在事实相反的愿望，故从句应该使用一般过去时．
故选：A．
【点评】本题考查虚拟语气．虚拟语气通常用于wish后的宾语从句中，表示与事实相反或不大可能实现的愿望．通常有三种形式：
①对将来发生的事情表示祝愿或愿望：主语+wish+ 从句主语+would（could， might）+动词原形．
　　eg：I wish she would try again．
我希望她能再试一次．
②表示与现在事实相反的愿望：主语+wish（that）+从句主语+动词一般过去式．
　　eg：I wish I wasn't leaving my son．
　　 我希望我没离开我儿子．
③对过去发生的事情表示遗憾或后悔时：主语+wish（that）+从句主语+had+过去分词．
　　eg：I wish you had come to my birthday party．
你要是来了我的生日晚会就好了．
* 从句的时态只与从句所指的时间有关，与wish的时态无关．
　
18．（1.00分）﹣You know what？ I've got a New Year concert ticket．
﹣Oh， _______ You're kidding．（　　）
A．so what？ B．go ahead． C．come on． D．what for？
【分析】﹣你知道吗？我有一张新年音乐会票．
﹣哦，得了吧，你在开玩笑吧．
【解答】考查语言交际．so what？那又怎么样！表达的是对之前的话语的不以为然，表达的是无所谓的、感觉那并不重要的一种态度． go ahead表示同意或允许 表示同意对方的请求，根据情况可译为：说吧，做吧，开始吧，进行吧．come on得了吧；算了吧； （表示鼓励）来吧；要视不同语言环境来理解它的具体意思，许多情况下，只是一个语气词．what for？为何？根据横线后面的"You're kidding"可知说话人不大相信另外一个人所说的话．句意：﹣你知道吗？我有一张新年音乐会票．﹣哦，得了吧，你在开玩笑吧．
故选：C．
【点评】情景对话题主要考察英语的日常用语、习惯用语以及各种场合的交际性语言，并从实际出发，考查交际语言的运用能力．做题时仔细阅读上下文，找出上下文之间的联系．
　
19．（1.00分）_______ you can sleep well， you will lose the ability to focus， plan and stay motivated after one or two nights．（　　）
A．Once B．Unless C．If D．When
【分析】除非你能睡好，否则一两个晚上之后你会失去关注、计划和保持动力的能力．
【解答】考查从属连词的用法．once"一旦"，引导条件状语从句．unless"除非，如果不"，在意义上相当于if…not，因此在有些场合中unless与if…not可互换使用，引导条件状语从句．if"如果"，引导条件状语从句．when"在…时候"，引导时间状语从句．分析可知前后两句话之间是逻辑上的"条件"关系．句意：除非你能睡好，否则一两个晚上之后你会失去关注、计划和保持动力的能力．
故选：B．
【点评】本题考查从属连词的用法．连词的用法辨析，要注意分析主从句之间的逻辑关系，再确定相应的连词，同时注意不同的连词的语义及用法区别．
　
20．（1.00分）I was sent to the village last month to see how the development plan _______ in the past two years．（　　）
A．had been carried out B．would be carried out
C．is being carried out D．has been carried out
【分析】我被派往那里去看看这个发展计划在过去的两年里实施的怎么样．
【解答】根据前面的句子I was sent to the village last month可知，这是说明是过去的事实，而计划的事实是在派送我之前的两年里的事实，所以用过去完成时，而the development plan和动词carry out之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用被动语态．
故选：A．
【点评】本题考查非谓语动词用法．做这类题目首先根据句意判断是谓语还是非谓语，如果是分词做状语的时候，看动词与逻辑主语构成主动关系，就使用现在分词的形式；如果二者构成被动关系就使用过去分词的形式．不定式表示动作未发生作目的状语．
　
21．（1.00分）Hopefully in 2025 we will no longer be e﹣mailing each other， for we _______ more convenient electronic
communication tools by then．（　　）
A．have developed B．had developed
C．will have developed D．developed
【分析】到2025年，我们很有希望不再相互发送电子邮件，因为那时我们将会有更便利的电子交流工具．
【解答】根据句末的时间状语by then可知，这里指的是by 2025，截止到将来的某个时间为止，所以用将来完成时态．
故选：C．
【点评】对时态的选择，要在把握时态的基本用法的基础上，根据具体语境和题干中的时间推断时态；同时关注动词的语态，理清不同时态的被动语态的形式以及主语和谓语动词之间的关系，做出合理的判断．
　
22．（1.00分）Try to understand what's actually happening instead of acting on the _______ you've made．（　　）
A．assignment B．association C．acquisition D．assumption
【分析】试着去了解到底发生了什么，而不是按照你所做的假设行事．
【解答】考查名词的词义辨析．assignment （布置的）作业；（分配的）任务；association团体；协会；社团；关联；交往；acquisition（对公司的）收购，并购；assumption假设；假想．句意：试着去了解到底发生了什么，而不是按照你所做的假设行事．
故选：D．
【点评】本题考查名词的词义辨析．名词词义辨析题一直都是高考考查的一个热点，它注重考查考生结合语境准确选用词语的能力．由于英语词汇丰富，且用法多变，考生掌握起来有较大难度，因此在平时应注意词汇的积累，理解词语的含义及其常见的习惯搭配，再联系句子所表述的意义和语境，选出正确的答案．
　
23．（1.00分）China's soft power grows _______ the increasing appreciation and understanding of China globally．（　　）
A．in line with B．in reply to
C．in return for D．in honour of
【分析】随着世界上对中国的重视和理解的增加，中国软实力与日俱增．
【解答】考查介词短语．in line with跟…一致， 符合；in reply to答复；in return for作为…的报答；in honour of为纪念，为庆祝．根据句意，A项正确．
故选：A．
【点评】考查介词短语，弄清楚各个介词短语的含义并区别各个介词短语之间的差异，了解某些介词短语的特殊用法，然后结合语境选择正确答案．
　
24．（1.00分）Despite the poor service of the hotel， the manager is _______ to invest in sufficient training for his staff．（　　）
A．keen B．reluctant C．anxious D．ready
【分析】尽管酒店服务不好，经理还是不愿为员工提供足够的培训．
【解答】考查形容词词义辨析．keen渴望的；热切的；热衷的；reluctant不情愿的，勉强的； anxious焦急的；渴望的； ready（人）准备就绪的；（物品）准备好的．句意：尽管酒店服务不好，经理还是不愿为员工提供足够的培训．
故选：B．
【点评】本题考查形容词词义辨析．形容词是高考中常考内容，在高中的学习中平时要多积累固定搭配的用法，考试时只能凭借记忆力来答题，尤其是单项选择很难推出某个搭配的意思，所以平时的积累记忆是尤其重要的．

In the 1760s， Mathurin Roze opened a series of shops that boasted（享有）a special meat soup called consommé． Although the main attraction was the soup， Roze's chain shops also set a new standard for dining out， which helped to establish Roze as the inventor of the modern restaurant．
Today， scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about restaurants． Take visual hints that influence what we eat： diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta（意大利面食）when their plates matched their food． When a dark﹣colored cake was served on a black plate rather than a white one， customers recognized it as sweeter and more tasty．
Lighting matters， too． When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness， they couldn't tell how much they'd had： those given extra﹣large shares ate more than everyone else， but were none the wiser﹣they didn't feel fuller， and they were just as ready for dessert．
Time is money， but that principle means different things for different types of restaurants． Unlike fast﹣food places． fine dining shops prefer customers to stay longer and spend． One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round： put on some Mozart（莫扎特）．When classical， rather than pop， music was playing， diners spent more． Fast music hurried diners out．
Particular scents also have an effect： diners who got the scent of lavender（薰衣草）stayed longer and spent more than those who smelled lemon， or no scent．
Meanwhile， things that you might expect to discourage spending﹣"bad" tables， crowding．high prices﹣don't necessarily． Diners at bad tables﹣next to the kitchen door， say﹣spent nearly as much as others but soon fled． It can be concluded that restaurant keepers need not "be overly concerned about ‘bad' tables，" given that they're profitable． As for crowds， a Hong Kong study found that they increased a restaurant's reputation， suggesting great food at fair prices． And doubling a buffet's price led customers to say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier．

（1）The underlined phrase "none the wiser" in paragraph 3 most probably implies that the customers were　A　．
A． not aware of eating more than usual
B． not willing to share food with others
C． not conscious of the food quality
D． not fond of the food provided
（2）How could a fine dining shop make more profit？　A　
A． playing classical music．
B． Introducing lemon scent．
C． Making the light brighter．
D． Using plates of larger size．
（3）What does the last paragraph talk about？　D　
A． Tips to attract more customers．
B． Problems restaurants are faced with．
C． Ways to improve restaurants' reputation．
D． Common misunderstandings about restaurants．
【分析】本文主要介绍了如何使餐馆更受欢迎，使经营更加成功，如餐馆内灯光暗淡一些，播放一些古典音乐及特殊的味道也是有助于消费．
【解答】A A D
1．A．词义猜测题．根据前文When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness， they couldn't tell how much they'd had： those given extra﹣large shares ate more than everyone else当柏林餐馆的顾客在黑暗中吃东西时，他们不知道自己吃了多少：那些吃大份额的人吃得比别人多及下文they didn't feel fuller他们并没有感觉太饱，说明none the wiser指的是没有意识到自己比平时吃得多，故答案为A．
2．A．细节理解题．根据One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round： put on some Mozart（莫扎特）．When classical， rather than pop， music was playing， diners spent more可知播放古典音乐可以使顾客在餐馆里吃得更多，这样消费的也会更多，从而给餐馆带来更多的利润，故答案为A．
3．D．总结归纳题．根据最后一段第一句Meanwhile， things that you might expect to discourage spending﹣"bad" tables， crowding．high prices ﹣ don't necessarily可知﹣"bad" tables， crowding．high prices可能会阻碍人们去餐馆消费，实际上未必如此，由此判断本段主要解释的是人们对于餐馆的一些误解，故答案为D．
【点评】做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．

If you want to disturb the car industry， you'd better have a few billion dollars： Mom﹣and﹣pop carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car companies． But in agriculture， small farmers can get the best of the major players． By connecting directly with customers， and by responding quickly to changes in the markets as well as in the ecosystems（生态系统）， small farmers can keep one step ahead of the big guys． As the co﹣founder of the National Young Farmers Coalition （NYFC， 美国青年农会）and a family farmer myself， I have a front﹣row seat to the innovations among small farmers that are transforming the industry．
For example， take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester， a tool developed just a couple of years ago by a young farmer， Jonathan Dysinger， in Tennessee， with a small loan from a local Slow Money group． It enables small﹣scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour﹣a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand﹣suddenly making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of California． Before the tool came out， small farmers couldn't touch the price per pound offered by California farms． But now， with the combination of a better price point and a generally fresher product， they can stay in business．
The sustainable success of small farmers， though， won't happen without fundamental changes to the industry． One crucial factor is secure access to land． Competition from investors，developers， and established large farmers makes owning one's own land unattainable for many new farmers．From 2004 to 2013， agricultural land values doubled， and they continue to rise in many regions．
Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm workers and managers is a non﹣existent path to citizenship ﹣ the greatest barrier to building a farm of their own． With farmers over the age of 65 outnumbering（多于）farmers younger than 35 by six to one， and with two﹣thirds of the nation's farmland in need of a new farmer， we must clear the path for talented people willing to grow the nation's food．
There are solutions that could light a path toward a more sustainable and fair farm economy，but farmers can't clumsily put them together before us． We at the NYFC need broad support as we urge Congress to increase farmland conservation， as we push for immigration reform， and as we seek policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious next generation of farmers from all backgrounds． With a new farm bill to be debated in Congress， consumers must take a stand with young farmers．

（1）The author mentions car industry at the beginning of the passage to introduce　B　．
A． the progress made in car industry
B． a special feature of agriculture
C． a trend of development in agriculture
D． the importance of investing in car industry
（2）What does the author want to illustrate with the example in paragraph 2？　D　
A． Loans to small local farmers are necessary．
B． Technology is vital for agricultural development．
C． Competition between small and big farms is fierce．
D． Small farmers may gain some advantages over big ones．
（3）What is the difficulty for those new famers？　C　
A． To gain more financial aid．
B． To hire good farm managers．
C． To have farms of their own．
D． To win old farmers' support．
（4）What should farmers do for a more sustainable and fair farm economy？　A　
A． Seek support beyond NYFC．
B． Expand farmland conservation．
C． Become members of NYFC．
D． Invest more to improve technology．

Children as young as ten are becoming dependent on social media for their sense of self﹣worth， a major study warned．
It found many youngsters（少年）now measure their status by how much public approval they get online， often through "like"． Some change their behavior in real life to improve their image on the web．
The report into youngsters aged from 8 to 12 was carried out by Children's Commissioner （专员）Anne Longfield． She said social media firms were exposing children to major emotional risks，with some youngsters starting secondary school ill﹣equipped to cope with the tremendous pressure they faced online．
Some social apps were popular among the children even though they supposedly require users to be at least 13．The youngsters admitted planning trips around potential photo﹣opportunities and then messaging friends﹣and friends of friends﹣to demand "likes" for their online posts．
The report found that youngsters felt their friendships could be at risk if they did not respond to social media posts quickly， and around the clock．
Children aged 8 to 10 were "starting to feel happy" when others liked their posts． However，those in the 10 to 12 age group were "concerned with how many people like their posts"， suggesting a "need" for social recognition that gets stronger the older they become．
Miss Longfield warned that a generation of children risked growing up "worried about their appearance and image as a result of the unrealistic lifestyles they follow on platforms， and increasingly anxious about switching off due to the constant demands of social media"．
She said： "Children are using social media with family and friends and to play games when they are in primary school． But what starts as fun usage of apps turns into tremendous pressure in real social media interaction at secondary school．"
As their world expanded． she said，children compared themselves to others online in a way that was "hugely damaging in terms of their self﹣identity， in terms of their confidence， but also in terms of their ability to develop themselves"．
Miss Longfield added： "Then there is this push to connect﹣if you go offline， will you miss something， will you miss out， will you show that you don't care about those people you are following，all of those come together in a huge way at once．"
"For children it is very， very difficult to cope with emotionally．" The Children's Commissioner for England's study﹣Life in Likes﹣found that children as young as 8 were using social media platforms largely for play．
However， the research﹣involving eight groups of 32 children aged 8 to 12﹣suggested that as they headed toward their teens， they became increasingly anxious online．
By the time they started secondary school﹣at age 11﹣children were already far more aware of their image online and felt under huge pressure to ensure their posts were popular， the report found．
However， they still did not know how to cope with mean﹣spirited jokes， or the sense of incompetence they might feel if they compared themselves to celebrities（名人）or more brilliant friends online． The report said they also faced pressure to respond to messages at all hours of the day﹣especially at secondary school when more youngsters have mobile phones．
The Children's Commissioner said schools and parents must now do more to prepare children for the emotional minefield（雷区）they faced online． And she said social media companies must also "take more responsibility"． They should either monitor their websites better so that children do not sign up too early， or they should adjust their websites to the needs of younger users．
Javed Khan， of children's charity Bamardo's， said： "It's vital that new compulsory age﹣appropriate relationship and sex education lessons in England should help equip children to deal with the growing demands of social media．
"It's also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using．"

（1）Why did some secondary school students feel too much pressure？　B　
A． They were not provided with adequate equipment．
B． They were not well prepared for emotional risks．
C． They were required to give quick responses．
D． They were prevented from using mobile phones．
（2）Some social app companies were to blame because　A　．
A． they didn't adequately check their users' registration
B． they organized photo trips to attract more youngsters
C． they encouraged youngsters to post more photos
D． they didn't stop youngsters from staying up late
（3）Children's comparing themselves to others online may lead to　B　．
A． less friendliness to each other
B． lower self﹣identity and confidence
C． an increase in online cheating
D． a stronger desire to stay online
（4）According to Life in Likes， as children grew， they became more anxious to　D　．
A． circulate their posts quickly
B． know the qualities of their posts
C． use mobile phones for play
D． get more public approval
（5）What should parents do to solve the problem？　C　
A． Communicate more with secondary schools．
B． Urge media companies to create safer apps．
C． Keep track of children's use of social media．
D． Forbid their children from visiting the web．
（6）What does the passage mainly talk about？　A　
A． The influence of social media on children．
B． The importance of social media to children．
C． The problem in building a healthy relationship．
D． The measure to reduce risks from social media．
【分析】本文主要是关于社交媒体对孩子的影响．孩子们在使用网络社交媒体的过程中，因为在意个人形象，想要收获公众认可，而开始面临巨大的压力，从而变得焦虑，疲于社交．
【解答】B A B D C A
1． B．细节理解题．根据文章第三段最后一句 She said social media firms were exposing children to major emotional risks， with some youngsters starting secondary school ill﹣equipped to cope with the tremendous pressure they faced online． 可知，中学生感到压力很大的原因是他们还没有准备好面对社交媒体上的情感风险．故正确答案为B．
2． A．推理判断题．根据文章倒数第三段最后一句中 They should either monitor their websites better so that children do not sign up too early 可知，社交软件公司应该更加严格地监控他们的网站，这样孩子们就不会过早注册．可推断出，一些公司没有充分检查用户的注册情况．故正确答案为A．
3． B．细节理解题．根据文章第九段中 children compared themselves to others online in a way that was hugely damaging in terms of their self﹣identity， in terms of their confidence 可知，孩子们在网上与他人比较，会对他们的自我认同和自信产生巨大的破坏，即降低他们的自我认同和自信．故正确答案为B．
4． D．推理判断题．根据文章第十三段中 By the time they started secondary school ﹣ at age 11 ﹣ children were already far more aware of their image online and felt under huge pressure to ensure their posts were popular 可知，随着孩子成长到中学时期，他们变得对自己在网上的形象更在意了，并且要确保自己的帖子受欢迎．可推断出，他们想要获得更多的公众认可．故正确答案为D．
5． C．细节理解题．根据文章最后一段 It's also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using 可知，家长要了解孩子们社交媒体的使用情况．故正确答案为C．
6． A．主旨大意题．本文主要讲述了孩子们在使用网络社交媒体的过程中，因为在意个人形象，想要收获公众认可，而开始面临巨大的压力，从而变得焦虑，疲于社交．所以文章主要是关于社交媒体对孩子的影响．故正确答案为A．

How Arts Promote Our Economy
When most people think of the arts， they imagine the end product， the beautiful painting， a wonderful piece of music， or an award﹣winning performance in the theater． But arts groups bring broader value to our communities． The economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged．
The arts create jobs that help develop the economy． Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists， technical experts， managers， musicians， or writers to create an appealing piece of art． These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills．
Another group of folks is needed to help market the event． "If you build it they will come" is a misleading belief． Painters， digital media experts， photographers， booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and promote the event． According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition， arts agencies employ more than 10，000 people as full﹣or part﹣time employees or independent contractors．
A successful arts neighborhoods creates a ripple effect（连锁反应）throughout a community． In 2005， when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town， the location was considered a poor area of town． After investing more than﹩1 million in reconstructing the building， we began producing a full season of theater performances， jazz concerts， and year﹣round arts education programs in 2008． Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District．
No doubt the theater has contributed to the area's development and economic growth． Today， there are galleries， studios， restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences， where there is renewed life and energy． In this way， arts and culture also serve as a public good．
Teco Theatrical Productions Inc． made use of Bloomberg's investment of﹩35，000 to get nearly﹩400，000 in public and private sector support during the two﹣year period． Further， Dallas arts and arts﹣based businesses produce﹩298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities． In Philadelphia， a metro area smaller than Dallas， the arts have an economic impact of almost﹩3 million and support 44，000 jobs， 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry， including accountants， marketers， construction workers， hotel managers， printers， and other kinds of art workers．
The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported， the entire small﹣business community benefits．
It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit． But in order to stay in business， arts groups must produce returns． If you are a student studying the arts， chances are you have been ill﹣advised to have a plan B． But those who truly understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities．

4． promotion/marketing．词性转换题．根据文章第三段第三句"Painters， digital media experts， photographers， booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and promote the event．"可知，艺术涉及到创造，表演和推广/市场．和空前的performance一致用名词，将原文的promote或market改成promotion或marketing．
5． effect．原词重现题．根据文章第四段第一句"A successful arts neighborhood creates a ripple effect （连锁反应） throughout a community．" 可知，艺术有逐渐传播的影响．使用原词effect，这里是不可数名词．

9． statistics/data/analyses．归纳理解题．文章第三段和第六段给出大量艺术带来利益的数据，可知，有了这些数据，学习艺术的学生就不必担心他们的职业生涯了．使用名词statistics/data或analyses（分析）．
10． alternative．句意理解题．根据最后一段第二句"If you are a student studying the arts， chances are you have been ill﹣advised to have a plan B．" 可知，学习艺术的学生不必担心他们的职业生涯或有一个可供选择的计划了．plan B相当于alternative plan可供选择的计划．
