The"24solar terms"originated and was firstly used in China．It was created thousands years ago on the basis of practical needs of agriculture．Ancient Chinese people used it to guide agriculture production，special climate signs and even healthy living tips．Last year，the 24 solar terms was added to UNESCO's world intangible cultural heritage list．Now，it has been brought to life thanks to a creative designer from Southwest China's Guizhou province．
On the eve of this year's Qingming Festival，Shi Changhong released his version of re-produced and pack-aged characters for each solar term in the form of"moving art"of gifs．Since their initial release on Zecol on March 29，the gifs have won great acclaim among the general public and quickly engulfed social media with millions of hits during the festival period．

1．Whether you love happy endings or a dark reality in TV dramas，you could soon be able to decide what you get．Netflix，the TV-streaming company behind hit shows such as The Crown and House Of Cards，is working on ways to give viewers control of key plot decisions．
Some of the storylines will be simple and linear，like the Choose Your Own Adventure books that many grew up with．For example，viewers might decide whether a prisoner in the drama Orange Is The New Black joins a gang （黑帮） or not．
The technology could also potentially be used to allow Princess Margaret to marry Peter Townsend in The Crown，instead of having her relationship with the divorcee （离婚者） blocked by the Establishment．Other storylines will be much more complex，allowing viewers to connect plot points in a variety of ways using their TV remotes．
A source said，"We're doing work on branch narratives （叙事） so you are actually making choices as you watch．All the content will be there，and then people will have to get through it in different ways．We'll see how it plays out．It's an experiment．We'll see if it gets much success．For creators，it's a new field．"
Actors would film numerous alternate plot segments （片段） in advance，letting viewers choose which route to take through the story．Netflix will run a trial with choose-your-own-adventure shows for children later this year，based on an established character．If they are successful，it will use the format for TV programmes aimed at adults．Netflix president Reed Hastings confirmed that the company is working on interactive shows，saying，"Once you have got interactivity，you can try anything．"
At least five million UK households are thought to be signed up to Netflix，and it is challenging traditional broadcasters．Earlier this year，BBC boss Lord Hall promised to reinvent the iPlayer so that it overtakes Netflix as a destination in its own right，rather than a catch-up service．

32．How will viewers connect plot points？A

B．By taking part in TV programs．

B．To compete with traditional broadcasters．
C．To attract as many children viewers as possible．
D．To test whether their creative ideas are successful．
34．What's Reed Hastings'attitude to interactive shows？A

B．Doubtful．
C．Negative．
D．Worried．
35．What's the author's purpose of writing this text？D

20．A report by the US'Open Syllabus Project found that the most read books among US college students in the past year were books like The Republic by ancient Greek philosopher Plato and The Clash of Civilizations by US political scientist Samuel Huntington．And according to reports by Chinese college libraries，the most popular books among Chinese students are novels like Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils by Chinese author Jin Yong．
This is considered by many to be one of the reasons why Chinese students are sometimes not as good at critical thinking or observing global perspectives （视野）as US students-they read too many bestseller novels．
"By reading texts in history/social studies，science，and other subjects，students build a foundation of knowledge in these fields that will also give them the background to be better readers in all areas，"Robert Pondiscio，vice president of the Core Knowledge Foundation in the US told Th．e Washington Post．
According to China Youth．Daily，there are usually five stages when it comes to reading，with popular novels at the bottom．More advanced readers normally go on to read classic fictional literature，history and philosophy，or books with critical ideas．
We spend hours，days or even weeks on a book，so it's only natural that we want to learn something useful in return for our efforts．Many see reading as an investment （投资） in themselves．But this practical view of literature and the thought that history and philosophy books are superior to novels are not agreed by everyone．After all，what they offer are two different kinds of satisfaction．While the former provides knowledge，the latter brings emotional experiences．"Fiction and poetry are medicines，"UK writer Jeanette Winterson once wrote．"What they heal is the rupture （裂痕） reality makes on the imagination．"

25．What are the most popular books among Chinese students？B
A．Philosophy books．
B．Bestseller novels．
C．History books．
D．Books with critical ideas．
26．What do Chinese students lack compared with US students？D
A．Careful observation．
B．Vast stores of knowledge．
C．Practical use of knowledge．
D．Critical thinking．
27．Which of the following does Jeanette Winterson probably agree with？D
A．People read books to learn something useful．
B．Imagination is not so important as knowledge．
C．History and philosophy books are superior to novels．
D．Novels can bring necessary emotional experiences．

19．If you've been to Europe a few times already，chances are that you've hit all the big destinations：London，Paris，Rome，Berlin．On your next trip you can either visit those same cities a second time，or instead you can take a chance and walk the streets of some cities that are a little bit smaller，a little bit less famous，but still full of European grace and charm．Here are four European cities to visit that you probably haven't been to yet．

Seville，Spain

Ghent，Belgium
Ghent is a city that looks like it should be the setting for a fairy tale．All of the typical Belgium features abound here-waffles and beer．Every year from Saturday before July 21，Ghent hosts a ten-day festival．This music and theater festival draws almost 2million visitors，as the city streets transform into performance spaces for performers，buskers （街头艺人） and musicians．
Palermo，Italy
Palermo is the capital city of Sicily，the southern island off the coast of mainland Italy．The city has an ancient history，and the various cultures that have controlled the island through the years have all left their marks on it．You can see winding street markets，antique （古玩） fairs，and open air nightclubs here．

Chinese Dumplings and Culture．
Chinese dumplings or jiaozi，mainly with meat and vegetable fillings，is a traditional Chinese food，which dates back to about 1，500 years ago．（高分句型一）China has been perfecting the art of dumpling making since the Ming Dynasty．
As the Spring Festival marks the start of a new year，people choose to eat jiaozi to express their wishes for good fortune，so it is part of the Chinese culture．（高分句型二）Traditionally，family members get together to make dumplings on New Year's Eve．Making dumplings is really teamwork to create harmonious family atmosphere．Ways of cooking Chinese dumplings vary from place to place．Generally，they are steamed，boiled or pan-fried．Some are served dry with vinegar while others in soup．
As for details of Chinese dumplings and culture，it's well worth exploring．（高分句型三）．

17．There are many debates about（61）whetherto allow cell phones in school．Cell phones have benefits，but they also provide disadvantages．
（62）Cheating（cheat） in school has increased to 75 percent since 1940s．Technology has helped to increase this number and half of students say they don't think cheating with cell phones is（63）difficult（difficulty）．With built-in cameras，cell phones enable students（64）to take（take）a picture of tests and answers．Then，students can send those（65）pictures（picture） to the others．Texting is another way to cheat．Smart phones also have access to the Internet，and students can find answers （66）themselves（they）．
Cell phones in school also make teens seldom communicate with others face to face．Even at lunch time a cell phone（67）allows（allow）a student to listen to music instead of talking with friends．
Cell phones provide new tools in teaching，（68）whichis more likely to make students absentminded．（69）Themost obvious is the ringing at wrong times．Because texting is（70）unbelievably（believe）immediate，you can also use a cell phone to carry on a dialog in the middle of class．

16．"Sorry，but I don't agree with you…"This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears．I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone，because I don't want to lose a friend．I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me，because my ego（自尊心）is hurt．
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me，my usual response would be，"If you aren't able to see my point of view，then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration，either．"But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me，sometimes she is simply saying，"I don't agree with the way things are done．"She still respects me as a person，and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter．However，there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth．That's when need to listen to what she says．
I've learned that one way to help my friend is for me to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully．While we can't control how a person will respond to our views，we must learn to disagree with our friends in love．We will never feel that we are better than the other person．And that will help us to be less emotional，and more objective in the way we express our opinions．In the same way，we can also stay open to feedback（反馈）from others，knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love．
Good friendships build each other up，sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions．Though I don't like being disagreed with，I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements．
