【分析】本文讲述了现在常见的社会现象﹣﹣在吃饭前拿手机拍照"消毒"，拍完照片放在网络上，而且不时地看手机，想着别人会不会喜欢自己的美食照片，会有多少人点赞。专家认为这种行为是不好的。一方面花时间拍照，食物变得没那么好吃；另一方面，眼前的人会忽视，因为拍照片的人就像被手机不停地"呼唤"，看有多少人点赞。专家呼吁，让食物美味如初，享受与眼前人的相聚时刻。
【解答】（1）D．细节理解题。从原文第一句"We can't remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table.This happens a lot，especially when we eat out.Once a dish comes，instead of lifting our chopsticks，we take out our mobiles and click."可知人们吃饭前为食物拍照并张贴它，这个现象在如今的饭桌上时常发生。故选D。
（2）B．细节推理题。根据Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant，可知，花费拍照的时间越多，这道菜对于人们来说就越不美味。故选B。

19．（10分）Have you ever wondered why Americans write"color"while British people write"colour"？No，it is not because the Americans are lazy.

23．（5分）Have you ever been to Yellowstone National Park ，a national park in the US state of Wyoing？At Yellowstone National Park ，the plates for food （1） are made of a special kind of plastic.When they are heated for more than a few minutes ，they will break up.
In Atlanta ，the USA，there is a popular restaurant.It is very special.In the restaurant ，waiters（2） no longer throw uneaten food into the dustbins.Instead，the food is used to make compost.
In America ，a new activity known as" zero waste" is becoming popular.It is carried out in schools ，cafes ，gyms ，parks ，restaurants and other places.It calls on people to produce less litter.It encourages people（3） to reuse whatever they can.
（4） Although the idea seems to be a little impossible，it is necessary.According to a new report American people produce the largest number of litter in the world.Each person produces about 4.6 pounds of litter each day.More than half of the litter is put into landfills and then burned.As a matter of fact ，this is harmful to the environment.Besides this ，more landfills are needed.
"Nobody wants to have a landfill near his house，" said Jon D.Johnston from the Environmental Protection Organization.It helps to carry （5） out "zero waste"activity."There are not enough landfills ，so we can't put all our litter into them.We should try to recycle litter as much as we can."

【解答】（1）are.考查be动词。根据made of，可知短语"be made of..."，意思为"由...制成"，这里指食物盘是由一种特殊的塑料制成的，the plates为复数，根据后面的are heated，可知时态为一般现在时，故be动词用"are"。句意：在黄石国家公园，食物盘是由一种特殊的塑料制成的。故填：are。

（3）to.考查不定式。根据encourages，可知短语"encourage sb.to do sth."，reuse为动词，不定式to reuse表示目的。句意：它鼓励人们尽可能地重复使用。故填：to。
（4）Although.考查连词。分析句子，可知这里填写连词，根据"...这个想法似乎有点不可能，但它是有必要的。"可知用although"虽然"，引导让步状语从句，位于句首，首字母需要大写。句意：虽然这个想法似乎有点不可能，但它是有必要的。故填：Although。
（5）out.考查短语搭配。根据后面的"zero waste"activity和carry，可知是实施"零浪费"活动，"实施"为短语"carry out"。句意：它有助于实施"零浪费"活动。故填：out。

18．（10分）We can't remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table.This happens a lot ，especially when we eat out.Once a dish comes ，instead of lifting our chopsticks ，we take out our mobiles and click.Later ，we post the photos on Weibo or WeChat ，waiting to be"liked" .Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal ，to see whether we get "liked" or not.We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound familiar to you？Do you do that often？If not ，how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you？
A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good.Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant.To test this ，some researchers did an experiment.Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food.As a result ，it showed that the more photos they took ，___.So ，why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you？
Besides the scientific result ，there are also some other bad ways of taking photos of food before meals.After posting the photos on the Internet ，one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. " Does everyone like my photos？I hope a lot of people like them!"It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time ，even when you are with real people.
So，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.Trust me，it will be a wonderful time.

【解答】（1）his.考查代词。根据句意：蒂莫西13岁时开始接受外语教育。his他的，修饰后面的名词language，故填his。
（2）later.考查副词。根据句意：一个月后，他在脑海中记住了他们大约20首歌。later...以后，故填later。
（3）understanding.考查动词。根据句意：有时，他很难理解希伯来语的意思。have trouble doing sth做某事有麻烦，故填understanding。
（4）study.考查动词。根据句意：他每天早上还用收音机学习并与街头购物者交谈。study学习，to+动词原形，故填study。
（5）pronunciation.考查名词。根据句意：他的发音很好。pronunciation发音，不可数名词，故填pronunciation。
（6）easily.考查副词。根据句意：现在他可以很容易地和他们交谈了。easily副词，修饰动词短语have a good conversation with 和...好好交谈，故填easily。
（7）bored.考查形容词。根据句意：他自学新语言时并不感到厌烦。bored形容词，放在feel后作表语，故填bored。

23．（5分）Have you ever been to Yellowstone National Park ，a national park in the US state of Wyoing？At Yellowstone National Park ，the plates for food （1） are made of a special kind of plastic.When they are heated for more than a few minutes ，they will break up.
In Atlanta ，the USA，there is a popular restaurant.It is very special.In the restaurant ，waiters（2） no longer throw uneaten food into the dustbins.Instead，the food is used to make compost.
In America ，a new activity known as" zero waste" is becoming popular.It is carried out in schools ，cafes ，gyms ，parks ，restaurants and other places.It calls on people to produce less litter.It encourages people（3） to reuse whatever they can.
（4） Although the idea seems to be a little impossible，it is necessary.According to a new report American people produce the largest number of litter in the world.Each person produces about 4.6 pounds of litter each day.More than half of the litter is put into landfills and then burned.As a matter of fact ，this is harmful to the environment.Besides this ，more landfills are needed.
"Nobody wants to have a landfill near his house，" said Jon D.Johnston from the Environmental Protection Organization.It helps to carry （5） out "zero waste"activity."There are not enough landfills ，so we can't put all our litter into them.We should try to recycle litter as much as we can."
【分析】本文讲述了保护环境所做的一些事情，并讲述我们应该尽可能多地回收垃圾。
【解答】（1）are.考查be动词。根据made of，可知短语"be made of..."，意思为"由...制成"，这里指食物盘是由一种特殊的塑料制成的，the plates为复数，根据后面的are heated，可知时态为一般现在时，故be动词用"are"。句意：在黄石国家公园，食物盘是由一种特殊的塑料制成的。故填：are。
（2）no.考查副词。根据后文的"Instead，the food is used to make compost.（相反，食物被用来制作成混合肥料）"，可知服务员不再把没吃的食物扔进垃圾箱，而是用来制作成混合肥料，结合 "longer"，可知no longer，意思为"不再"。句意：在餐馆里，服务员不再把没吃的食物扔进垃圾箱。故填：no。
（3）to.考查不定式。根据encourages，可知短语"encourage sb.to do sth."，reuse为动词，不定式to reuse表示目的。句意：它鼓励人们尽可能地重复使用。故填：to。
（4）Although.考查连词。分析句子，可知这里填写连词，根据"...这个想法似乎有点不可能，但它是有必要的。"可知用although"虽然"，引导让步状语从句，位于句首，首字母需要大写。句意：虽然这个想法似乎有点不可能，但它是有必要的。故填：Although。
（5）out.考查短语搭配。根据后面的"zero waste"activity和carry，可知是实施"零浪费"活动，"实施"为短语"carry out"。句意：它有助于实施"零浪费"活动。故填：out。
五.补全对话
24．（10分）A：Hello，David.You look unhappy.（1） What's up/What's wrong ？
B：Because I am weak in English.

I still remember three years ago， I had difficulties in learning English.【高分句型一】 It was difficult for me to memorize so many words and understand what people were saying. My spoken English and written English were poor， too. Luckily， with the help of my English teacher， I made great progress in it. I managed to do everything she suggested. I watched English movies and sang classic English songs. It is actually an effective way to improve my listening. While reading， I tried not to read word by word but by word groups and guess the meaning when meeting new words. I wrote down useful words and phrases， in this way， I increased the number of words and understood the articles better， besides， it was also helpful to my written English. Step by step， I made progress， and now I am best at English. （在英语学习中遇到困难时以及如何克服的）
