Think of the meal a family enjoys in the evening when everyones together after work or school, or the big get-togethers over food at Spring Festival. But now, in the age of the Internet and social media, anyone with an Internet connection can enjoy a social eating event.Mukbang-a South Korean phrase meaning “eating broadcast”-is an unusual food fanaticism thats sweeping the country. This is a meal where only one person gets to eat, while many viewers watch live shows of hosts eating large quantities of food. They leave comments on the dishes the host is taking, and the host responds to them live.So why have people taken to this unusual new food trend(趋势)? Jeff Yang, an Asian-American cultural critic, thinks that its down to “the loneliness of unmarried or uncoupled South Koreans”. He believes that eating on your own can be hard in a country like South Korea, where social eating is such a long tradition. However, Mukbang gives people the feeling that they are part of something larger, it seems.Millions of people have trouble with food. Either they eat too much of it, or too little. Some say that the popularity of Mukbang helps people with these disorders. Those who always eat too much and put on weight can watch Mukbang live shows to satisfy their appetite (胃口). And those who dont eat enough can build their appetite by watching delicious food being eaten.Even though Mukbang is a South Korean phenomenon, its also taken off in the US. But unlike South Koreans who sit down to enjoy noodles and kimchi (泡菜), Americans enjoy their own native dishes. This means that viewers of US Mukbang live shows will see locals stuffing themselves with hamburgers, fries and ice cream.21. The underlined word “fanaticism” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. disappointment B. enthusiasm C. dislike D. imagination22. According to Jeff Yang, Mukbang is becoming popular in South Korea mainly because _.A. people are used to eating aloneB. its good for those who have eating disordersC. it helps to comfort the lonely peopleD. it assists people to build their appetite23. What is the article mainly about?A. A traditional Korean eating habit.B. A new food trend from South Korea.C. How Koreans communicate through eating.D. How the Internet affects the way we eat.BBad news sellsIf it bleeds，it leadsNo news is good news，and good news is no newsThose are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papersBut now that information is being spread and monitored（监控） in different ways，researchers are discovering new rulesBy tracking peoples emails and online posts，scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories “The if it bleeds rule works for mass media，”says Jonah Berger，a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania“They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feelingBut when you share a story with your friends，you care a lot more how they reactYou dont want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer” Researchers analyzing wordofmouth communicationemails，Web posts and reviews，facetoface conversationsfound that it tended to be more positive than negative（消极的），but that didnt necessarily mean people preferred positive newsWas positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things？To test for that possibility，DrBerger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories：thousands of articles on The New York Times websiteHe and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most emailed” list for six monthsOne of his first finds was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than nonscience articlesHe found that science amazed Times readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny，or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety，but not articles that left them merely sadThey needed to be aroused（激发） one way or the other，and they preferred good news to badThe more positive an article，the more likely it was to be shared，as DrBerger explains in his new book，“Contagious：Why Things Catch On”24.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to？A. News reports. B. Research papers. C. Private emalls. D. Daily conversations.25.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer？A .Theyre socially inactive.B. Theyre good at telling stories.C. Theyre inconsiderate of others. D. Theyre careful with their words.26.Which tended to be the most emailed according to DrBergers research？A. Sports new. B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.CIve never been the kind of person to say, “its the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present that blew me away.For years now, Ive been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building. In the front room, theres a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my childrens growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each childs name and the date they were measured. Most people I know have been featured on a wall like this, or at least had a wall like it in their home.Of all the objects and all the memories, its this one thing in a home thats the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldnt normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see.Over the years, Ive talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do something about it.They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns. She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.Three weeks later, my childrens wonderful gift made its way to me a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.27. The author used her friends example in Paragraph 3 to _.A. persuade her family to leave the wall as it wasB. stress the meaning of keeping good memoriesC. explain why her house badly needed a new paint jobD. share her memory of motherhood with readers28. According to the article, it was Jacquie Manning who _.A. helped the author paint her new houseB. came up with the idea of the photo giftC. shot pictures to record the authors growth stageD. made a copy of the growth marks on the wall29. We can infer from the article that the author _.A. was strongly against selling their homeB. was not happy with the gift from her familyC. kept marks for family members every yearD. put great love and care in raising her children30. What is the best title for the text?A. A Gift Made with Love B. Advice on Picking up Gifts for ParentsC. Paintings Count D. Effective Ways to Communicate with Children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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp or a teenager? The teenager? Think again. Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem._31_Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world._32_ There is short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. _33_ Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because its meaningful to you-an example is data about family and friends. And then there is visual memory and sound memory. But these are not hard and fast. In fact, Scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory._34_ Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One things for sure though: If you can put the different kinds of memory together, there can be great results. _35_ At the same time, you could listen to recordings of the same group of words. These things may help when it comes to memorizing the words.Imagination and association can be useful too. By imagination, scientists mean picturing a word in your mind, while association means relating the word to something you already know.A. So why not try pictures with English words?B. Then how do chimps have better memories than us?C. Scientists say that there are different types of memory.D. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory.E. Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways.F. For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items in a store.G. Short-term and long-term memory differ in the amount of information they can store.第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 45 分)第一节 完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题1.5 分，满分 30 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项， 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。Born in America, I spoke English, not Chinese, the language of my ancestors.

Once we really understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult. _57_ , most of us do not fully see it.
