Next, the workers brushed ink onto the movable types. Finally, the types could be used for printing. They could be used again and again for different books. The movable type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more culture communications among countries took place.

He lived in a small village which lies in Huanggang today. He invented the printing around 1040s.”可知，活字印刷术是在宋朝时期发明的。故选B。 47．细节理解题。根据“After that, the words were chosen and put in right order in a box according to the text.

Then words were engraved (雕刻) carefully onto the types. After that, the words were chosen and put in right order in a box according to the text. Next, the workers brushed ink onto the movable types.
