A.ThebrightfutureofawardsshowsB.WhatterribleawardsshowsC.StopthetelevisionofawardsshowsD.Boycottattentiontocelebrities【解析】选C。主旨大意题。作者提到颁奖典礼收视率下降,建议不要在电视上播出,可以换种形式。【知识拓展】背景链接BAFTA英国电影和电视艺术学院(TheBritishAcademyofFilmandTelevisionArts)是一个英国的机构,每年颁发奖项给杰出的电影、电视、儿童电影和电视以及互动媒体。学院奖的奖杯是一个面具,由美国雕塑家米特兹·坎利夫设计,1955年被电视制作人和导演协会采纳使用。自从1989年开始,英国电影和电视艺术学院洛杉矶分部开始颁发自己的奖项,取名为大不列颠奖(BritanniaAwards)。B(2020·南昌模拟)StephenHawking’sfinalfearwasthatDNAmanipulationwouldleadtoamasterraceofsuperhumans.Thephysicist,whodiedaged76inMarch,2018,thoughtthedevelopmentcoulddestroytherestofhumanbeings.HislastpredictionisrevealedinanewbookofhiscollectedarticlesandessayscalledBriefAnswerstoBigQuestions.Hawkingfearedrichpeoplewouldsoonbeabletoedittheirchildren’sDNAtoimproveattributeslikememoryanddiseaseimmunity.Andhesaidthatwouldposeacrisisfortherestoftheworldevenifpoliticianstriedtoillegalizethepractice.Inanextract(摘录)publishedbyTheSundayTimes,hewrote:“Iamsurethatduringthiscenturypeoplewilldiscoverhowtomodifybothintelligenceandinstinctssuchasaggression.Lawswillprobablybepassedagainstgeneticengineeringwithhumans.Butsomepeoplewon’tbeabletoresistthetemptationtoimprovehumancharacteristics,suchasmemory,resistancetodiseaseandlengthoflife.”Andhesaidthatwouldcausehugeproblemsforhumanswhohavenotundergonethesameprocess,leavingthemunabletocompete.Theprofessoreven
