Snapped up: Pre-wedding photo industry booms in China
A happy couple exchange a kiss for the camera, the bride in a white off-the-shoulder dress holding a delicate bouquet (花束), the groom in matching white suit, standing together on a green lawn lined with pink blossoms. It looks like the perfect wedding memory - except it's not their wedding day. Instead, it is part of a booming industry in China for increasingly elaborate pre-wedding photos, as young couples spend time and cash lining up glamorous（独特的，有魅力的）photo shoots to display on their big day.
But for those who can't afford to travel overseas or to Chinese tourist hotspots in search of suitable backdrops, companies like the Love Story in Rome studio bring a range of backgrounds, costumes, accessories and themes together - all within one Beijing complex. "It's really tiring to shoot outside, moving from one place to another place. This wedding shoo
t center is indoors and it provides everything you want," said bride Zhao Tianyou, 25, who had been shooting since 8 am.
Rows of couples pose for photographs inside the sprawling complex （繁杂的摄影棚）in Beijing, with settings ranging from tropical gardens to autumn fields, waterfalls to starlit skies. In one carefully stage-managed shot, a bride in a white dress floats half-submerged in water, drinking a glass of wine. "Chinese wedding photography has become more customized," said general manager Zhao Rongchang. "Chinese people used to love to go on trips for shooting their But now they prefer to shoot indoors and prefer a more precise photography style."
The value of the wedding industry in China has been booming, with research group ASKCI predicting that by the end of 2019 its value will reach 2.27 trillion yuan ($321.7 billion). Zhao says between 50 and 60 couples come to their center every day on a quest for the perfect snaps.
The enormous building is full of aisles of clothing and accessories in every color, from tradit
ional red Chinese wedding outfits to modern Western-style white gowns and suits. An army of helpers take photographs and manage sets, adjust clothing and add accessories with couples changing outfits multiple times throughout the day. "I love all the styles they've designed for me," said a bride surnamed Wu, aged 26. "It's a bit tiring, but I'm very happy."

【 参考答案与解题思路】
■ 1. C
猜测词义题，考查根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义
解析：后文说“现在人们更喜欢室内拍摄且倾向于某种具体的拍摄方式”。根据生活经验，且前文描述了水下拍摄的特殊场景，这里能猜到customized的意思就是“定制的，按照顾客需求的”，故此题选C。
■ 2. B
判断推理题，考查做出判断和推理
解析：由第二段中的 “companies like the Love Story in Rome studio bring a range of backgrounds, costumes, accessories and themes together”可知，湖内摄影将提供拍摄背景，服装，配饰，拍摄主题等，A、C、D选项正确；热带花园为背景的一种，但摄影棚不提
供热带植物，B选项错误，故此题选B。
■ 3. C
判断推理题，考查做出判断和推理
解析：根据第三段“Chinese people used to love to go on trips for shooting their ”可知，中国人过去喜欢在旅途中拍摄婚纱照，而并非当下流行趋势，所以A不选；根据 “But now they prefer to shoot indoors and prefer a more precise photography style.”可知，人们更喜欢室内拍摄而非室外拍摄，所以B不选；D选项不对， “In one carefully stage-managed shot, a bride in a white dress floats half-submerged in water, drinking a glass of wine.”，本句是对一幅拍摄照场景的描述，喝红酒并非新娘潜水的目的；结合A和B，可知室内拍摄更受当下年轻人的欢迎，故本题选C。
