Located in the Swiss Alps, near the famous resort of St. Moritz, the commune of Bergan is one of the most beautiful mountain villages in Europe. So beautiful, in fact, that photos of it shared on social media may make people feel depressed that they cant visit, so local authorities banned tourists from taking photos.
It may sound like a joke, but it's actually a new law adopted by the Bergan village council and 31 by its mayor. To discourage visitors from taking photos in Bergan, they plan to 32 a symbolic e5 fine for those caught breaking the new rules.
According to a statement by the Bergan tourism authority, \photos on social media make the viewers unhappy because they cannot be there themselves.\
However, it seems unlikely that Bergun's new law was really thought of as a way to 33 Facebook or Instagram users of the depressing experience of seeing the beauty of the village. As the news went 34 online, many assumed that it was actually a clever marketing 35 , a theory that was at least partially confirmed by the village's director of tourism, Marc-Andrea Barandun.
\combination of both we made the law and also there's some marketing aim behind it.\
To show that they were serious about the law, Bergin authorities 36 photos of the village from its Facebook and Twitter accounts, and declared their intention to delete them from the Bergan website too.
If the new law was just a 37 strategy, it actually worked wonders, as people started 38 more photos of the beautiful mountain village soon after news of the photo ban started making news headlines.
A few days ago, Mayor Nicolay 39 the debatable photo ban in a video, where he offered people visiting Bergan a special 40 to take photos. He reminded them to think twice before sharing the pictures online, though, as they could be making their friends depressed. III. Reading Comprehension

Section A
Direction: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
A cliche is a phrase that has been used so many times that it comes out of the mouth or the computer without stirring up a wave in the mind of the speaker, the typist, the listener or the reader. The word was part of the technical term of the French printing trade in the 19th century, the name for a plate used in the printing process, and it is still used with that meaning in English and other languages. By the middle of the same century, the word was being used in French, shortly followed by English, as a simile(比喻) for 41 used expressions. Cliches can be 42 according to whether they were originally idioms, similes and proverbs, expressions from trades or 43 phrases. Many idioms have been so universally overused that they have been 44 —phrases like far and wide, by leaps and bounds or safe and sound. Our second category could be similes and proverbs that now fall off the 45 with little meaning, similes like as cool as a cucumber, which 46 around 400 years.
A large category is 47 from the terms of trades and professions, sports and games, and other national concerns. Many are 48 cliches, as is fitting for the British, as an island nation, with examples like to leave a sinking ship, to know the ropes, to stick to one's guns.
Our last broad category of cliche might be phrases which were 49 when they were first coined, but have become ineffective through constant use. When a football manager, asked how he felt about the 50 of his team, said that he was as sick as a parrot. Since then, it has been so overused that it has lost its 51 To explore every avenue and to leave no stone unturned are two political cliches of this class. No politician with any sensitivity for language could use either of those phrases 52 , yet you hear them still, all the time.
No doubt we could specify the classes of cliches into further subdivisions until the cows come home. But there is no need to. We all agree that cliches are to be 53 by careful writers and speakers at all times, don't we? Well, actually, no, not I. Life, and language, are so full of cliches that silence will hold the position if you 54 us the use of cliche. So many millions of people have spoken and written cliches so 55 that it is almost impossible to find ideas and phrases that have not been used many times before.
41. A. occasionally 42. A. confirmed 43. A. invented
B. frequently B. quoted

C. technically C. inferred
D. grammatical D. classified D. underlined D. enriched D. forehead
B. customized B. tailored B. eyes
C. recognized C. weakened C. lips
