21、   There are many kinds of book clubs where members discuss a different book every month. What about dinner clubs, where people get together once a month or four times a year to make and eat dinner? In the dinner club that I joined, the hostess of the dinner club would prepare a big dinner first. Then the members would begin discussing the food. 【1】.

There are two variations of a dinner club. One has a group of people who try a different restaurant once a month. 【2】. When they all meet, they order and share different dishes. This is a great idea, especially if you live in a big city where there are hundreds of different restaurants.

【3】. One way is to have the hostess for the month decide on a type of food. The hostess is responsible for cooking the entrees. The other members make different courses at home, like salad and dessert, and bring them to the dinner club. For an even more exciting and interactive type of dinner clubs, the entire group comes together in the hostess’ kitchen. 【4】. In this way the members of the group not only learn about different types of food, but also different methods of cooking.

The great thing about a dinner club is that it serves in many different ways. 【5】. Couples can get together for some food and great conversations. A stay-at-home mother can get a couple of other stay-at-home mothers together and start a children's lunch club. If you have a group of friends that love to get together and experiment with different types of food, the possibilities are endless!

A．Now, let's talk about our dinner club

B．This was the beginning of our dinner club

C．They prepare the entire meal in a group effort

D．Usually one member decides on the restaurant

E．The other kind of dinner clubs has many different forms

F．It offers regular well-organized social events in selected places

G．You can make the dinner club even more special one month by inviting partners

22、   Until the 1990s coffee was rarely served in China except at luxury hotels aimed at foreigners.

When Starbucks opened its first outlet there in 1999 it was far from clear that the country’s enthusiastic tea drinkers would take to such a different and usually more costly-source of caffeine.

Starbucks tried to entice（引诱）customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk- and sugar-heavy mixtures such as Frappuccinos （星冰乐）.

Starbucks now has about 3,800 outlets in China- more than in any other country outside America.

Coffee has become fashionable among the middle class. Statista, a business-intelligence portal（门户网站），says the roast coffee market in China is growing by more than 10% a year. Starbucks and its rivals see big future for expanding there.

Since its founding less than two years ago, Luckin-a newly-founded coffee brand in China- has opened more than 2,300 outlets. On May 17th Luckin's first public offering on the NASDAQ stock market raised more than $570m, giving it a value of about $4 billion. Most of Luckin’s outlets are merely small shops where busy white-collar workers pick up their drinks, having ordered them online. Super-fast delivery can also be arranged through the company’s app,

The high-class end of the market is prosperous too.

Where better to sip and WeChat? It’s not just the drink that appeals, it’s the chance to share pictures of it.

【1】In order to develop its business in China, Starbucks .

A.tried hard to promote classic American coffee

B.only recommended costly coffee to Chinese customers

C.mixed Frappuccinos with lots of milk and sugar

A.prove the good taste of its coffee to customers

B.indicate the popularity of coffee drinking in China

C.show that Starbucks has failed in the competition in China

D.explain its contributions to the American stock market

24、   Before the age of the smartphone, photographers had to learn how to use high-tech cameras and photographic techniques. Today, with the huge range of camera apps on our smartphones, we’re all good amateur photographers, since the quality of smartphone images now nearly equals that of digital cameras.

The new ease of photography has given us a tremendous appetite for capturing the magical and the ordinary. We are obsessed with documenting everyday moments, whether it’s a shot of our breakfast, our cat or the cat’s breakfast. Even photo journalists are experimenting with mobile phones because their near invisibility makes it easier to capture unguarded moments.

In the past, magazines published unforgettable photos of important people and global events that captured our imaginations. These photos had the power to change public opinion and even the course of history. But if there are fewer memorable images today, it’s not because there are fewer good images. It’s because there are so many, and no one image gets to be special for long.

As people everywhere embrace photography and the media make use of citizen journalists, professional standards appear to be shifting. Before digital images, most people trusted photographs to accurately reflect reality. Today, images can be altered in ways the naked eye might never notice. Photojournalists are trained to accurately represent what they witness. Yet any image can be altered to create an “improved” picture of reality. The average viewer is left with no way to assess the accuracy of an image except through trust in a news organization or photographer.

The question of the accuracy of images gets even trickier when photojournalists start experimenting with camera apps-- like Hipstamatic or Instagram --- which encourage the use of filters （滤镜）. Images can be colored, brightened, faded, and scratched to make photographs more artistic, or to give them an antique look. Photographers using camera apps to cover wars and conflicts have created powerful images--- but also controversy. Critics worry that antique-looking photographs romanticize war, while distancing us from those who fight in them.

Yet photography has always been more subjective than we assume. Each picture is a result of a series of decisions-- where to stand, what lens to use, what to leave in and what to leave out of the frame. Does altering photographs with camera app filters make them less true? There’s something powerful and exciting about the experiment the digital age has forced upon us. These new tools make it easier to tell our own stories--- and they give others the power to do the same. Many members of the media get stuck on the same stories, focusing on elections, governments, wars, and disasters, and in the process, miss out on the less dramatic images of daily life that can be as revealing.

Who knows? Our obsession with documentation and constantly being connected could lead to a dramatic change in our way of being. Perhaps we are witnessing the development of a universal visual language, one that could change the way we relate to each other and the world. Of course, as with any language, there will be those who produce poetry and those who make shopping lists.

【1】According to the author, there are fewer memorable photographs today because_________.

A.the quality of many images is still poor

B.there are so many good images these days

C.traditional media refuse to allow amateur photos

D.most images are not appealing to a global audience

【2】The author put the word “ improved” in quotation marks in order to _________.

A.indicate it’s a word cited from another source

B.stress that the picture of reality is greatly improved

C.draw audience attention to a word worth considering

D.show it’s arguable whether the picture is truly improved

【3】Which of the statements does the author most likely agree with?

A.The daily life pictures are very expressive themselves.

B.Photographs of the digital age are more subjective than before.

C.Photos altered by filters of camera apps are too subjective to be true.

D.Many members of the media value daily life images over major social events.

【4】What may be the best title for the passage?

A.Camera Apps Bury Authenticity

B.Photography Redefined: A Visual Language

C.Smartphone: Killer of Professional Photography

D.The Shifting Standards of Professional Photography
