【題目】 Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role -- showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.

In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under ￡5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam, 14, Finn, 13, and Jack, 11.

“We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,” she explains. “I pay ￡5 for a portion, but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometime we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”

The eight-part series, Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.

With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week. In tonight’s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget. The team transforms the family’s long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.

【1】題意：我們對(duì)Susanna Reid了解多少?

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role -- showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget. In Save Money: Good Food”但她煮的一手好菜，向各個(gè)家庭展示如何在預(yù)算緊張的情況下做出美味又營(yíng)養(yǎng)的飯菜，第二段講了一個(gè)節(jié)目名稱，所以她已經(jīng)開(kāi)始了一個(gè)新項(xiàng)目。故選B。

【2】題意：Matt Tebbutt是如何幫助Susanna的?

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste”在廚師Tebbutt的幫助下提供頂級(jí)技巧，在烹飪的事情上幫助她，做到如何減少食物浪費(fèi)。故選C。

【3】題意：下列哪個(gè)陳述是正確的?

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.”，是每周都去，所以排除A；根據(jù)“We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,”，所以不是去店里吃，排除選項(xiàng)B；根據(jù)“ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.”理解健康食物的價(jià)值這是Save Money: Good Food的前置節(jié)目Save Money: Good Health的內(nèi)容，所以排除選項(xiàng)C，根據(jù)“Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometime we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”可知她們一家原來(lái)是買外賣食物，現(xiàn)在嘗試自己做了，所以她們的飲食風(fēng)格發(fā)生了改變。故選D。

【題目】Read the following passage and answer the questions.

In South Korea, smart-phone cases come with rings fixed firmly on the back to prevent clumsy owners from dropping them. This makes people look like they are literally married to their phones. In many of Seoul’s most Instagrammable（網(wǎng)紅）coffee shops, couples on dates spend vastly more time looking at their screens than at each other. The outcomes go beyond the potentially serious consequences for romance.

Walk around the streets of Seoul or any other South Korean city, and there is a real risk of bumping into people whose eyes are glued to their smart-phone screens. Insurers estimate that around 370 traffic accidents annually are caused by pedestrians using smart-phones. That figure does not include those who bump into lamp posts and the like while perusing the latest cat videos.

The government initially tried to fight the “smornbie”(a combination of “smart-phone and “zombie”) epidemic by distributing hundreds of stickers around cities imploring people to “be safe” and look up. This seems to have had little effect even though, in Seoul at least, it recently replaced the stickers with sturdier plastic boards.

Instead of appealing to people’s good sense, the authorities have therefore resorted to trying to save them from being run over. Early last year, they began to trial floor-level traffic lights in smomibe hot-spots in central Seoul. Since then, the experiment has been extended around and beyond the capital. For the moment, the government is retaining old-fashioned eye-level pedestrian lights as well. But in future, the way to look at a South Korean crossroads may be down.

Answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences:

【1】According to the passage, why do people look like they are married to their phone in South Korea.?

【2】How many accidents annually are caused by pedestrian using smart-phones?

【3】In many coffee shops, what do couples on dates usually do?

【4】Distributing hundreds of stickers around cities had little effect on “smombie” epidemic, did it?

【5】What measures did the authorities take early last year?
