Take US photographer Irving Penn (1917-2009) for example. In 1947, Vogue magazine published many food photos taken by Penn. Looking at the carefully put salad ingredients or the cakes on stands(货 架), it would be easy to think Penns 70-year-old photos were taken just last week.Besides Penns efforts, it seems that social media is behind the recent rise of foodtography._And the star posts just one delicious-looking food picture with the place where it was taken. It can bring hundreds of new customers for the restaurant.So while its fun to share pictures of delicious dishes with your friends, just remember the most important thing:_A. Dont forget to eat your meal afterwards.B. But now, some people just want to eat their meal.C. Today, a social media star may have thousands of fans.D. In fact, taking pictures before meals is not a recent thing.四、 阅读理解 (共2题；共20分)5. （10分） Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a“sixth sense”really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared(盯着）at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almostall of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they werent. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they werent.Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when theyre being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker,“I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.” （1）The aim of the two experiments is to_.A . explain when people can have a sixth senseB . study how people act while being watched in the labC . study whether humans can sense when they are stared atD . prove why humans have a sixth sense（2）The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means_.A . valueB . resultC . performanceD . connection（3）In the second experiment, the subjects _.A . could tell when they were stared atB . could tell where they werent stared atC . couldnt tell who they were stared at or who they stared atD . couldnt tell when they were stared at or when they werent（4）What can be learned from the passage?A . People are born with a sixth senseB . The experiments support parapsychologists idea.C . The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experimentsD . People have a sixth sense in all places.6. （10分） Although I didnt have any interest in being a school bus driver, I became one. Many years later, I was still working on the school bus. There are so many good reasons. Firstly, the talk brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter(安慰者) for the little ones. The kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently for them to get on for the trip home.Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊驼) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, “Look, Miss! Look at the camels!” He used to put his head out of the bus window. When I warned him that a little insect would come into his nose if he wasnt careful, he smartly gave up the habit.I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and sobbed(抽泣) all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to get down the bus, she threw her arms around my neck and cried that her grandfather had died the night before.A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back.Now, its important to think how many lives Ive been responsible(负责的) for, and how many kilometers Ive driven in order to get my passengers home safely during the 20 years. Ive enjoyed it, but its time to rest and park my school bus.（1）When did the writer begin to be a school bus driver?A . 5 years ago.B . 10 years ago.C . 20 years ago.D . 30 years ago.（2）What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refer to (所指)?A . toy bearsB . kidsC . school busesD . secrets（3）Which of the following is TRUEA .
