1.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Tiny homes have been popular as home prices have climbed to new heights and people have looked for creative ways to downsize. We've seen many design concepts, including storage units and buses, but Jim Dotzenrod and his daughter Danielle recently came up with a unique one. The pair worked together on the family project to transform a 1973 train caboose (乘务员专用车厢) into the sleeper car.

The CR Station Train Caboose, as it's known on Airbnb, which has become somewhat of its own tourist destination in the small town that houses it, is available to rent for $124 a night, and has an excellent rating of 4.86 out of 5 from more than 300 guests on the booking website.

According to Insider, the project began when Jim saw a bunch of train cabooses along the side of the road during a drive out of town. He said he wondered if he could change one of them into a place where people could live or stay. So, he bought the 52,000-pound caboose for $8,000. Getting the caboose to its final home took some creative thinking and some heavy-duty equipment.

Danielle said the work was challenging, especially since she and her dad both have day jobs. But their schedules didn't stop them from finishing the project. "My dad can do anything he sets his mind to—like, absolutely anything—but my dad is so low maintenance himself," Danielle told the website. "So when we built this together it was a good combination because he could build whatever and have me pushing him like, 'Hey, let's make this as cool as we can.'"

This caboose also has Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, a refrigerator, a shower and more. So, if you're ever traveling in Iowa and want to experience something special, book a stay at the CR Station Train Caboose!

(1) What can we know about the CR Station Train Caboose? A. It can only be booked online. B. It has become a local attraction. C. It offers a new concept in home decoration. D. It was transported to the town with little effort.

(2) The words "low maintenance" in paragraph 4 indicate Jim Dotzenrod is ______. A. easy and pleasant to deal with B. determined to do what he wants C. excellent at building houses D. experienced in project design

(3) What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To introduce a lifestyle. B. To share an experience. C. To show a travel trend. D. To make an advertisement.

Nowadays, people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festival, especially those western festivals.

A survey conducted recently by Sina. Com showed that among the 18, 222 people surveyed 63. 9% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation, nothing serious while 17. 85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not "out". These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10. 45 percent people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. Only 7. 8% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民).

The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China's economy. In my opinion of view, Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin. They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. Shop owners' pockets are filled, the public's hunger for happiness is filled, and that is enough. Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.

The crisis(危机) of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life.

But the western culture shows much of romance. Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. At this point, food seems to be too plain. Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.

Foreign festivals in China today are celebrated for fun. They give people opportunities to relax and to show appreciation and gratefulness. The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on people's economic status.

(1) From the survey we know that among the people surveyed _________. A. Most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous B. Many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon C. Some think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing D. half think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of faction

(2) The writer think that foreign festivals celebrated in China ________. A. have lost their religious background B. are the same as those celebrated in the west C. can give more fun than traditional Chinese festivals D. may reduce the hunger of public people

(3) What is the main difference between foreign festivals and traditional Chinese ones? A. Foreign festivals can make Chinese shop owners' pockets full quickly B. The food at foreign festivals is too simple C. Chinese festivals always have something to do with culture D. Foreign festivals are romantic while traditional Chinese ones are connected with reality

(4) Which of the following may NOT be the reason why so many people accept foreign festivals? A. People can relax themselves . B. People can show their thanks to others C. Foreign festivals have longer histories than Chinese ones D. People have known more about the western culture.
