1、语篇翻译

We can’t remember clearly since when we started to take our mobile phones to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. 65When a dish comes to the table, we take out our phones rather than lift the chopsticks. Later, we post(上传) the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be “liked”.

Does that sound familiar to you? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you? 66 A study discovers that what we get used to doing is not so good.

To test this, some researchers did an experiment. The result is surprising. 67花时间给食物拍照使得食物没那么美味。In the experiment, some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. It showed that the more photos they took, the worse the food seemed to them.

Besides the result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, 68我们在用餐期间会时不时查看我们的手机。“Does everyone like my photos?”

69 The mobile phone is a thing that most people need to use every day. However, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you.

25、It was raining. I went into a cafe and asked for a coffee. While waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I sensed loneliness. I saw their bodies, but I couldn’t feel their souls (灵魂) because their souls belonged to the Net.

I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it. “I am Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “I can’t talk with you. I’m busy,” he said. He was chatting online and, at the same time playing a computer game — a war game. I was surprised.

Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me? I tried again to speak to that computer geek (痴迷者), but not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction. I was unhappy. I put my hand in front of the monitor and he shouted, “Leave me alone.” I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people, especially Steve. I wouldn’t predict the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of with people. I was worried and deep in my thought. I didn’t even realize that the coffee was bad, just as Steve didn’t notice there was a person next to him.

A．Indifferently.

B．Generous.

C．Patient.

D．Polite.

27、The erhu is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use this type of huqin to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying（伴奏）instrument in different folk music. Now it is used in both traditional and modern music. It has even become a solo（独奏的）instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue by Abing.

The erhu used to be mainly played by common people. As the playing skills were passed down by oral（口传）tradition, there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians usually turn to ancient paintings, sculptures and murals（雕塑和壁画）. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province.

Because of so many people’s effort, the erhu becomes more and more popular around the world. In fact, we can hear the familiar sound of the erhu in many Hollywood productions, such as Kungfu Panda in 2012 and most recently, the Oscar-nominated（提名）film Up in the Air（《在云端》）. When people watch these movies, they also enjoy the special music of the erhu. The erhu is also called “Chinese violin” by many westerners, but in many ways, they are quite different.

【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?

A．Erhu is one of the instruments of huqin.

B．Erhu became less popular during the Ming Dynasty.

C．Erhu only widely used in traditional music.

【2】In the past, the erhu was played mostly by ________.

A．famous people

B．poor people

C．common people

【3】Why do historians do researches on ancient paintings, sculptures and murals?

A．To find more written records about the erhu.

B．To study the history and the development of the erhu.

C．To make the art of the erhu passed down.

【4】In the writer’s eyes, what is the most important for the development of the erhu music?

A．Many people’s hard work.

B．Famous films made in Hollywood.

C．The similar instrument violin.

【5】What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?

A．To give examples of famous erhu pieces.

B．To compare the differences between the erhu and violin.

28、阅读短文，根据语篇要求填空，使短文通顺、意思完整， 每空限填一词。

A rich woman was so proud of a valuable antique vase that she decided to have her bedroom painted the same color 【1】 the vase. Several painters tried to mix the color right, but none came close enough to satisfy the woman.

Eventually, a painter came. He was so confident 【2】 he could mix the proper color. The woman was pleased 【3】 the result, and the painter became famous.

29、I've noticed that conversations with my children have started to turn into something that I don't like. It could be my mistake. I don't always ______ before I open my mouth.

"You should...", "Have you thought of...", "If I were you, I'd..."

The meaning is clear—"Stop!"

I am the queen of unwanted advice. When I get one of my adult kids on the phone, I become a "teacher" on everything and anything, which I'm obviously not.

I want to be part of their lives. More importantly, I want to ______ them making mistakes that seem so obvious to me.

But they just want a listening ear and an open heart.

I know that feeling all too well. But I'm ______ —very slowly—that talking at is not the same as talking with.
