英语试题

一、阅读选择

When the food we order at a restaurant arrives, the first thing most of us want to do is enjoy it right away. But for every person who just wants to eat their meal, there's another who insists on taking at least five photos of their food to share on social media.

While this may seem like a recent phenomenon, "foodtography" has been around for longer than one would expect. Take US photographer Irving

Penn(1917—2009) for example. In 1947, V ogue magazine published a series of food shots taken by Penn. Looking at the carefully placed salad or the series of cakes on stands, it would be easy to think Penn's 73-year-old photos were taken just last week.

Penn's efforts aside, it seems that social media is behind the recent rise of foodtography. Today, if a social media star with thousands of followers posts just one delicious-looking food picture and mentions where it was taken, it can lead to hundreds of new customers for the restaurant or cafe. One such star is Clerkenwell Boy, based in London, whose Instagram account is followed by over 100,000 people.

Yet with popularity, the social media star tries to use his influence for good by encouraging people not to waste food. Research carried out earlier this year by UK supermarket chain Sainsbury's, published in The Guardian found that 55 percent of the 18 to 34-year-olds it surveyed were more likely to "try unusual recipes to create Instagram-friendly dishes" than others, leading to increased food waste. "I hate it like a huge pile of seven burgers photographed just for likes. Are they going to just throw that away now?" Clerkenwell Boy told The Guardian.

So while it's fun to share photos of delicious dishes with your friends, just
