2016届高考英语二轮阅读理解和短文改错选练（8）（新人教版）

　　2016高考英语阅读理解和短文改错选练（8）

　　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 2017 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 2015 he'll have even more work in the future.

　　Check out your favorite finished versions of Herrera’s flakes (from both 2017 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 2017

　　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

　　It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries. Then one day. Some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place. This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a batter future. But the dream didn't last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately. The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left. Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases. Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
