1、   The paper-cutting in Yangzhou, with a history of over 2,500 years, can date back to the Sui Dynasty, making Yangzhou one of the places where paper-cutting first became popular.

In the Sui Dynasty, 1. people in Yangzhou were used to celebrating festivals by cutting colorful paper or silk. The story goes that during the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang came to Yangzhou three times. In winter, the flowers and trees in the garden became dry and weak.2. 皇帝建议年轻女子把丝绸剪成花，叶子和草 and use them to make the trees and pools look more beautiful. Since then, “colorful cutting” has been a popular decoration art in Yangzhou.

In the Tang Dynasty, 3. as paper-making was highly developed, tons of fine paper was produced. This helped the development of the paper-cutting art. At that time, people in Yangzhou had the custom of welcoming spring with paper-cutting. 4. They would cut paper into different shapes of flowers, insects, coins and so on when spring comes.

In the Qing Dynasty, thanks to the economy prosperity(经济繁荣), people in Yangzhou became interested in wearing fine clothing, especially embroidered( 刺绣的) clothing. The embroidery patterns were based on paper-cutting, so many people made their living by the art of paper-cutting. 5. 据说，一个叫做宝俊的人因其出色的剪纸技艺而闻名。 He won a high reputation(名声) as Magic Scissors.

After the founding of PRC, Chinese government realized the importance of paper-cutting. In 2007, China Paper-cuts Museum opened to the public in Yangzhou. Since then, paper-cutting in Yangzhou has been greatly improved.

24、   “All right, are you ready? Okay, the camera’s rolling.” I was really realizing my dream. I stood inside the empty school hallway on a spring afternoon. In my slightly shaking hand, I held the script On Patrol. “For this scene,” I explained, “all I need you to do is walk quietly.” In front of the camera was my best friend, Gavin, wearing a blue uniform. “Would it be funnier if I looked into the camera?” Gavin suggested. “Hmm,” I said. “Yeah, you’re right. Let’s do it that way.” This was certainly not a Hollywood blockbuster. I didn’t have a producer, a script director, or even something as simple as a light setup. The only equipment（设备）I had was my camera and my tripod（三脚架）, but they were enough to make my dream come true. “Okay, are you good?” I asked. Gavin nodded his head. “Okay. Action!” I said.

Since as far back as my preschool years, movies have been my life. Some people may think back to their childhood as they hear the sound of table tennis or see a baseball flying into the blue sky during a backyard game. Some people may smell the salty air of the ocean during a family vacation. As for me, I hear the sound of the video recorder, as it replays the tape of a video. The movie I watched most as a child was Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man. From then on, I watched as many movies as I could and my mom and dad often said to me, “Nathan, you need to stop watching movies and go outside.”

When I began high school, I was considering what I should choose as a job. After months of not having any idea of what I would become, an idea appeared: if I love movies so much, why not make it a career? During high school, experience seemed to be key in turning my dream into a reality. With this realization, I wrote my first short film, On Patrol, a ten-minute silent video about a hall monitor trying to stop someone from throwing rubbish at a school. After I finished my first script, I was very excited. Then I was thinking, “Now it is up to me to make my first movie.”

The short script was filmed over the course of a weekend at my school. The hallway was dark, giving off a cold atmosphere（气氛）. It was perfect for my movie. The filming process was anything but perfect. The lighting never matched up; my cheap camera battery kept dying, which forced me to record on an iphone. Though I was very tired, I was still learning. I was learning to work with my actors and listen to their ideas. I was learning to tell a story like a professional filmmaker. When filming was finished, it took another week of editing（剪辑）for my first film.

It was not a famous movie, but it was my step-ping-stone. Now looking back at On Patrol still gives me a dream that could direct more good movies. Along with the film, the memories of filming remain in my brain. For me, it was the moment when I was no longer a silly kid with an interest in movies. Instead, I was a director. Watching my first movie not only gives me a laugh, but also gives me the encouragement to continue running after a love I have had since I put Spider-Man into my video recorder many years ago.

【1】What was the writer doing according to Paragraph 1?

A．Writing a script.

B．Directing a movie.

C．Taking photos of his friend.

D．Talking about his favourite movie with his friend.

【2】What does the underlined word “blockbuster” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

【3】What did the writer most probably think of his first film?

A．It was his best movie.

B．It was a big success.

C．It was an interesting story.

D．It was an encouragement for him.

【4】What might be the best title for the passage?

A．Learning to Make Movies.

B．Turing My Dream into Reality.

C．Choosing a Life-long Job for Myself.

D．Preparing for My First Movie.

25、For Chinese, it's a time for dragon boat racing and Zongzi. But across the Yellow Sea, South Korea, wrestling and swing play are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name — the Dragon Boat Festival — which falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar.

One festival, two cultures: does one nation have the right to call its own? It has been reported that South Korea will apply(申请) to the UNESCO to make the celebration its cultural heritage(遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.

As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2, 000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. “It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China,” said Zhou Heping, deputy culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.

Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of local culture.

With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue about which country the festival belongs to. “No one can deny that it came from China,” said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province. “But if all the countries involved(参与) can protect culture heritage together, they will all benefit(受益)．”

【1】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．South Korea has proclaimed(声明) the Dragon Boat Festival as a part of its cultural heritage.

B．South Korea has the exactly same Dragon Boat Festival as China.

C．South Korea has no idea that China has such a festival.

D．South Korea is paying more attention to its cultural heritage than China.

【2】Why is China not happy with the situation?

A．Because it created the festival.

B．Because it is also making an application.

C．Because South Korea has no right to call the festival its own.

D．Because UNESCO may approve(批准) South Korea's application.

【3】What would the author probably support?

A．A move by South Korea to cancel its application.

B．China getting UNESCO's approval of the festival first.

C．The opinion of Zhou Heping.

D．China paying more attention to its cultural heritage.

One thing that many college students probably ________ about traditional, in-person classes is that they’re inflexible.

Of course, this comes with a possible ________ if you aren’t the best at managing your time. However, if you are efficient at managing your own schedule and getting your assignments and studying done in a timely manner, then online classes are a great ________ for you.

What’s more, if your entire program is online（e.g. if you’re pursuing an online master’s degree）, this ________ you a lot more flexibility than if you’re attending traditional university classes.
