It has been practiced for over a thousand years. The artists carve thin-skinned egg gourds (葫芦) from the area, requiring great skill to avoid breaking the piece. Lanzhou’s gourd carving started during the Wei and Jin dynasties (220-420) when gourds were used for wine along the ancient Silk Road. Over time, the simple act of painting turned into detailed carving and painting, becoming a job for many during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). In modern China, this art form was gradually forgotten. Ruan Xiyue, born in 1987, has been perfecting her skill for over ten years, a tradition in her family for four generations. Her right hand is bigger and rougher (粗糙的) from years of carving, showing her dedication to the art. The popularity of the game “Travel Frog” among young people inspired her to create a Utopian (乌托邦) world with the frog’s image. Ruan uses gourds as a canvas (画布) and gradually other creative products. She creates gourd mirrors, accessories (配饰), tea sets, bag, and more.   As culture becomes a part of daily life and gets public attention, an increasing number of people are learning Lanzhou gourd carving from Ruan. Since the beginning of this year, she has welcomed over 1,000 visitors per week for study tours. Ruan said that many children are amazed by gourd carving and say, “No wonder this is intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产)”, which deeply moves her. Inspired by Ruan Xiyue, her mother, Ruan Lin, is now learning to use social media to connect with the younger generation and provide technical guidance for her daughter’s projects. “When many hands come together, the flame of culture burns brighter,” said Ruan Lin. 21．What can we know about the egg gourds from the passage? A．They are highly valued for its shape. B．They are difficult to carve due to their thin skin. C．They were introduced to China from the Silk Road. 22．The underlined word “dedication” in the third paragraph means ________. A．奉献 B．理解 C．模仿 23．Which statement is TRUE about Ruan? A．She was born in a family of gourd planting. B．The game “Travel Frog” is an inspiration to her. C．Ruan’s father provides technical guidance for her projects online. 24．Which is the best title for this passage? A．Chinese Carving, experiencing a revival (复兴) B．Lanzhou’s traditional art, getting tons of attention C．Ruan Xiyue, making a difference to Lanzhou gourd carving 请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项多余项。 On the night of Aug 11, 2024, the Paris Olympics closed with an excellent ceremony at France’s national stadium (体育场).
