阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Have you got some paper, a pair of scissors and, above all, a desire to decorate your house? Then, we have the perfect holiday artwork for you: Make Star Wars snowflakes (雪花). Remembered as a cherished form of work in classrooms before the holidays, paper snowflakes have drawn many people's attention again.
The designer, Anthony Herrera, just recently released his 2021 collection. "The Star Wars snowflake designs began as just doing designs of characters that I and my daughter wanted to make three years ago," Herrera told us in an email. "The second year I introduced vehicles, and this year I decided to push further by designing battle scenes."
Sometimes, he feels a bit bored with his job. With each year, the designs have got more detailed and various, but the process of creating them remained the same: sketching figures on paper with a pencil until a symmetrical (对称)pattern comes out, then scanning the designs and cut them with scissors. However, he says he has plenty of ideas for new flakes next year, so no two will ever be the same. Hopefully with Star Wars: Episode VII coming in 2021 he'll have even more work in the future.
Check out your favorite finished versions of Herrera’s flakes (from both 2021 and previous years) and download the pictures beneath them and then get down to creating your own work. A warning: Most designs aren't for the casual flake-maker, so patience you must have.
1. Making paper snowflakes draws many people's attention probably because ______.
A. it is a traditional form of decoration B. it is a course of artwork in school
C. it is a way of killing time in holiday D. it is designed by Anthony Herrera
2. From the text, we know that Herrera ______.
A. can make snowflakes with his daughter's help
B. made more complicated designs before 2021
C. introduced paper vehicles in 2011
D. will make a great variety of detailed paper flakes
3. Herrera is fed up with the job sometimes because ______
A. he has to design detailed and different patterns
B. he has to follow the fixed process of paper cutting
C. he spends much time designing, scanning and cutting
D. he has few ideas for what the next designs will be like
4. By writing the last paragraph, the author tries to ______.
A. offer us more information about Herrera’s paper cutting
B. tell us how to download picture of snowflakes
C. instruct people to be a real creative artist
D. remind us of being patient with Herrera’s designs

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
"Can I get a light?" This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source? In April 2022, the National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an anti-smoking advertisement onto YouTube. The anti-smoking ad has quickly been known as the "most powerful anti-smoking ad."
The anti-smoking video, called the "Smoking Kid," features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.
The video begins with the statement "adults know that smoking is harmful, but don’t remind themselves of this fact " Once a "smoking kid" approaches the adults, every adult asked is shocked that a child with a cigarette in hand is asking for a light. The first adult starts by saying, "I’m not giving it to you," and the video goes on to state "every adult filmed said no and reminded the children that smoking is bad."
Before going away, the kid hands each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says, "You worry about me, but why not about yourself?" Each adult looks around for the child as their faces are filled with confusion and discomfort.
The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarettes or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was affective at that moment.
The most influential element in the ad isn't the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves?
1. According to the text, the anti-smoking ad is ______.
A. unusual B. shocking C. influential D. encouraging
2. The underlined word "unsuspecting" (in Para. 2) probably means ______
A. uninformed B. unwilling C. unfortunate D. unacceptable
3. What are the adults,reactions to the children asking for a light?
A. They pay no attention to children's request.
B. They reject kids,request and educate them.
C. They look around for children's parents.
D. They quickly throw children's cigarettes away.
4. The best title of the text might be ______.
A. Give up smoking, for your own sake B. Keep away from smoking, adults
C. Tell your children not to smoke D. Reject a child asking for a light

The year 2009 is the Year of Ox. The ox is a representative of the fanning culture of China. In the farming economy (经济), oxen are the major animals pulling plows(犁).
Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing. In fact, they are seen as "boats on land" for their ability to carry loads. Besides, the whole body of an ox is full of treasures. Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoes. With all these qualities, oxen are regarded as generous creatures.
In the past, oxen played an important role in the spiritual life of the Chinese. Even today, oxen still play a special part in some folk activities. For example, some people who1ive in southwest China will cook cattle bone soup and share it among family members when holding the ceremony for children who reach 13. They believe that the cattle bone soup represents the blood relationship among family members. In order to express their love for oxen, people in some other areas will run to shake off diseases on the 16th day of the first month by the lunar calendar (农历), and during their run they will take their oxen along, which indicates they regard the creature as human.
Because of the contribution of oxen in their lives, the Chinese people are very grateful to the animal. In addition, the use of oxen in ceremonies and the thanks people owe to oxen help to develop various traditional customs, which becomes an important part of the folk culture of the Chinese nation.

Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value.The concept dates back to 1623,when the first patent law to protect IP rights was passed.IP rights protect an artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another.For example, if somebody generates an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights.If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use.Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing, but today, intellectual property rights, are also enjoyed by those who create music, art and literature.
In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the Internet.Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, from a book store.In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it.However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet.This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights.
1.According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to ____ __.
A.those creating music, art and literature
B.novelists
C.engineers and inventors
D.those not receiving financial reward for their work
2.What do we know about the Internet according to the passage?
A.It makes IP rights harder to protect.
B.It sells songs and films.
C.It does not affect the way we understand IP rights.
D.It prevents the production of artwork.
3.According to Paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”?
A.Intellectual property rights. B.The Internet.
C.Free downloading. D.The large number of songs, films and books.
4.A possible title for this passage could be _____ _.
A.A History of IP Rights B.Ways to Protect Your IP Rights
C.The Present and the Future of IP D.IP Rights and Our Attitudes

What Colleges Will Be Like in 2023
Imagine a university without textbooks and classes without calendars, but still costs a lot of money.
Ten years from now college might not look too different from the outside, but the learning experience students receive will probably be different from the one they get today.
Here are four areas where you can expect to see major changes and one area where you probably won't:
The Classroom
In the near future, professors will run their courses over digital platforms where data on each student's progress can be collected. These platforms were initially developed for massive open online courses, or MOOCs. However, universities are now folding these platforms back into their traditional classes because they make it easier to share content, host discussions and keep track of student work. A professor might still "teach" a class, but most of the interaction will happen online. If professors and students do meet in a physical classroom, it will be to review material, work through problems or drill down on discussion topics.
The Calendar
As more classes move partially or entirely online, the requirements of having a uniform start and end date diminish(缩小).Having all the class material online also means some students could sail through a semester's worth of classes in a few weeks and then start again with new courses. Some might finish a bachelor's degree in two years. Those who stick around for four years might have three majors.
The Institution
More universities are making their courses available through online platforms such as Coursera and edX, and great lectures can be found on YouTube. Students are supplementing(补充)their own school's classes with online lectures from rock-star professors at other institutions.
More and more, this type of learning will become part of college life. "Students will be able to acquire knowledge globally, across different campuses," says Ron Kraemer, chief information and digital officer at the University of Notre Dame.
Schools, meanwhile, will take advantage of this setup to conserve their resources. They might develop courses of their own only when they think they can provide a big advantage over other schools’offerings. Otherwise, they might simply adopt a world-beating course that was developed elsewhere, and then put their own stamp on it by designing assignments, discussions and student-faculty interactions. Already, for example, students at several California State University campuses such as San Jose and Sacramento are taking engineering classes that were developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The Textbook
These 10-pound hardcover volumes used to have Psychology 101 or the "Rocks for Jocks" geology class. But this giant bundle, and the profitable publishing industry that produced it, will quickly unravel(瓦解)as professors pick and choose the sections they like best and assemble their own course packs.
The books themselves will stop to be physical volumes and instead will be sources of interactive digital content that include text, videos and simulations(模拟).In some cases, the material that used to be in a textbook will simply be integrated into the online course platfonn, where students can watch a lecture,read an essay and do a homework assignment.
