Chen Kongguo is good at carving buildings. Every time he begins, he has to visit the building himself and then use a computer to make a smaller model. “If there’s a small change, the whole work can not be finished,” Chen Kongguo said. “After many years of working as a ruanmuhua creator, I even get to know more about Chinese-style buildings.” he added. 1．What can we know about ruanmuhua according to the passage?

Bamboo weaving (竹编), a traditional craft is one of them. People split bamboo into thinner strips (条) and use them to make all kinds of tools and fun things. Making things from bamboo takes lots of steps, like choosing the right bamboo, splitting it, weaving it together, and coloring it. Each step needs a lot of skills and is done with our hands. In the past, bamboo was mainly used to make containers so that people could put the things like eggs, vegetables and some other things in them. Bamboo is strong but easy to bend, making it perfect for making strong containers. In Chinese culture, bamboo has many important meanings. It represents both the humble gentleman (寒士) and the spirit of perseverance (坚持). Since the ancient times, many famous artists and poets in China have involved bamboo in their works to express their feelings. Now, people in cities seldom use containers from bamboo weaving, but it is also preferred as an art form by many people. Embroidery (刺绣), another traditional craft, is like drawing with needles (针) and threads (线) on fabric, making pretty designs. Chinese embroidery has been around for more than 2, 000 years. It has four main styles: Su, Xiang, Shu and Yue. Su embroidery started long ago and became really popular in the Song Dynasty. Yue embroidery that originating from the Tang Dynasty is now in museums around the world. Shu embroidery, from Sichuan, is known for its detailed dragon and phoenix designs on soft bedding. Xiang embroidery, from Hunan, uses a special way to show powerful animals like lions and tigers. People use embroidery to decorate clothes and bedding. Also, China mixes paintings and photos into embroidery, making it look like a painting from far away and embroidery up close. Embroidery has always been an important trade, especially during the Silk Road days. Today, people still show their special love of it. 1．What was bamboo weaving mainly used for in the past? A．For making strong containers. B．For making artistic works. C．For expressing people’s feelings. D．For enjoying and playing with. 2．Which embroidery is special for its dragon and phoenix design? A．Su embroidery. B．Shu embroidery. C．Xiang embroidery. D．Yue embroidery. 3．Which can be the best title for this article?

Although there is a difference in color compared with that of Wang Ximeng’s painting, the students are still very pleased with the final result. The difference is not so significant (显著的). The work still looks very beautiful. “In the past, students could only see the artwork in books.

Nowadays, people usually use machines to make these patterns. But how did ancient (古代的) people make them? Ancient people used tie-dye (扎染). Tie-dye is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China—it’s more than 1,000 years old! It’s popular in Yunnan. People first put cloth into the blue dye (染料). Some parts of the cloth become blue, but other parts have a lighter color. When you open the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns. Now the tie-dye skill is China’s national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Anning in Yunnan is famous for tie-dye. Yang Cheng, 52, learned tie-dye from his mother in the 1980s. Yang got the old skills. At the same time, he studied tie-dye in other countries such as Japan, India and France. It once took Yang two years to make two tie-dyed dresses! He used many skills of Anning tie-dye. Some patterns on the dress are traditional, while some are modern (现代的). He used images of Dianchi Lake and eight popular flowers in Yunnan. “I want to put all the beautiful things into tie-dye works.” Yang said. Now Yang is still dyeing and teaching his daughter tie-dye. “We have the duty to pass down the skill to younger generations (一代人),” Yang said.

It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to enjoy. Since the Warring States Period, people loved sweets and had different ways of making sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, people greatly improved skills of sugar making. So sugar, the rare thing that once could only enter homes of the kings, also went into common people’s homes. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting came out. Sugar painting is different from other paintings. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to make the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is finished. However, it’s a pity that this art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes (形状) has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, only a few old sugar painters are willing to pass on this kind of art.   For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has entered people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual (精神的) support of people  across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. So we Chinese should remember, miss and pass on the art till forever. 1．What does the underlined word “common” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．普通的 B．热情的 C．可怜的 D．特殊的 2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Why people were interested in sugar painting. B．How sugar making became sugar painting art. C．What people thought of sugar painting in the past. D．How people made sugar in different ways in old days. 3．Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly? A．To show their excellent skills. B．To stop syrup becoming hard. C．To protect the spoon and the table. D．To save people’s waiting time. 4．How might the writer feel about today’s sugar painting according to Paragraph 4? A．Hopeful. B．Angry. C．Unclear. D．Worried. 5．Which can be the best title for the article? A．History of sugar painting B．Improving the taste of sugar painting C．Learning about the art of sugar painting D．Ways to change the future of sugar painting 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种中国传统艺术形式兼小吃——糖画。 1．词义猜测题。根据“So sugar, the rare thing that once could only enter homes of the kings, also went into common people’s homes.”可知，曾经只能进入王室的稀有物品——糖，也开始进入了普通百姓的家中。common此处表示“普通的”。故选A。 2．主旨大意题。根据“In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting came out.”可知，明朝时，有人在糖碗中加入带有吉祥图案的图画，于是糖画便应运而生，故第二段主要讲述糖是如何成为糖画的。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly.”可知，糖画师要快速完成作品以免糖浆变硬。故选B。 4．观点态度题。根据“However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently.”和“What’s worse, only a few old sugar painters are willing to pass on this kind of art.”可知，作者对糖画这种艺术形式的未来是感到担忧的。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段内容“Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar.

Paper cuttings, though, are no longer just used for pretty decorations (装饰). This art form came from the sixth century. Chinese women would cut shapes from gold and silver foil (箔) to stick to (粘住) their hair. Families later accepted (接受) the tradition of putting paper cuttings on doors and windows on special days. Finally, red paper cuttings became a way to express happy feelings and well wishes. At weddings a cutting of the “” character, which means “double happiness”, is commonly used. Paper-cutting master (大师) Li Yunxi a of China makes paper cutting look easy. She learned paper cutting from her mother and grandmother from the age of 6. According to Li, “All you need are paper, scissors and a lot of skill.” Li was born in Shaanxi Province, where paper cutting is still practiced and taught. Today, she teaches the ancient craft (手艺) to people of every age. Today some artists are turning paper cutting into a new art form. They often add paint and other materials to it. They mix imagination with skill to create amazing designs. Some of the most beautiful pieces of paper art come from Nahoko Kojima of Japan. She's a leader in the field of paper- cut art as “sculptures (雕塑)”. One of her most famous pieces is a life- size swimming polar bear that hangs from the ceiling (天花板). Kojima created the piece from a single sheet (纸张) of paper. No matter how simple or difficult the design is, paper cutting remains a beloved (深受喜爱的) Chinese craft.

Chinese women would cut shapes from gold and silver foil (箔) to stick to (粘住) their hair.”可知，这种艺术形式起源于六世纪。中国妇女会用金银箔切割形状来贴在她们的头发上。可见，中国的剪纸一开始用来贴在妇女的头发上。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Today some artists are turning paper cutting into a new art form. They often add paint and other materials to it.”可知，今天，一些艺术家正在把剪纸变成一种新的艺术形式。他们经常添加油漆和其他材料。可见it指代的就是剪纸。故选C。 3．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了剪纸从起源到发展的经历，由此可知，本文主要是关于文化的。所以这篇文章可能来自一本中国文化杂志。故选A。 4．篇章结构题。根据文章内容可知，第一段讲述的是：古今中外的人们都喜欢中国剪纸。第二段讲述的是：剪纸从起源以及发展。第三段讲述的是：李云霞让剪纸看起来很简单，她把古老的工艺教给各个年龄段的人。第四段讲述的是：今天，一些艺术家正在把剪纸变成一种新的艺术形式。第五段讲述的是：无论设计多么简单或困难，剪纸仍然是一种深受喜爱的中国工艺。总之从第二段到第四段讲述的是剪纸发展的经历。所以篇章结构是D选项。故选D。 The colorful clothes we wear these days are made by machines. But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful? The national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), tie-dyeing (扎染), is a way to do this. About more than 1,000 years ago, the Bai ethnic group in Yunnan used tie-dyeing to dye their own clothes. During the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties, this technique became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to emperors as gifts. To tie-dye, you need to first use thread (线), rope or other tools to tie, sew (缝), or clip (夹) your cloth together. The folded (折叠的) cloth is then put in dye. The Bai people usually make blue dye from a special plant. As the cloth is folded, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you unfold (展开) the cloth, you’ll see beautiful and unique patterns. It is so magical. In the 1960s, tie-dyeing became a fashion trend in the US. People tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans in imaginative (富有想象力的) ways. Many children in the US still learn tie-dyeing in their art classes. At Dior’s spring 2019 show, the Italian designer Maria Grazia surprised people with a series of tie-dyed dresses. “Tie-dyeing is like the activity or process of experimenting,” Chiuri said. “Its creative process is a kind of unpredictable (难以预料的) performance, right until the very end. It’s a surprise, a spectacle (奇观).” It seems that the tie-dyeing trend has never really gone away. In order to inherit (继承) the national culture, students in some schools in China recently tried tie-dyeing in their art classes, too. They all felt amazed by its beauty. They said they felt like they were magicians. 1．What do we know about tie-dyeing? A．People used it to make colorful clothes. B．It has a history of less than 1,000 years. C．People invented it during the Tang dynasty. D．People used it for only dyeing emperors’ clothes. 2．The underlined word “technique” in Para. 2 means ________ in Chinese. A．颜色 B．技术 C．群体 D．发展 3．According to Para. 3 and 4, what do people do to create patterns? A．Use different types of blue dye. B．Fold the clothes before dyeing it. C．Sew different-colored cloth pieces together. D．Dye the cloth with both dark and light dye. 4．What will happen to tie-dyeing in China? A．It will disappear in the future. B．People won’t use it any longer. C．People will inherit the special culture. D．Students will wear tie-dyed clothes. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Terrific beauty of tie-dyeing B．The process of tie-dyeing C．The history of tie-dyeing D．Foreigners and tie-dyeing 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是作者对国家级非物质文化遗产——扎染做了简单介绍。大约1000多年前，云南白族用扎染技术染自己的衣服。在唐宋时期，这种技术非常流行，人们把扎染的衣服送给皇帝作为礼物。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful? The national intangible cultural heritage, tie-dyeing, is a way to do this.”可知，为了能穿上色彩鲜艳的衣服，人们使用扎染技术。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“To tie-dye, you need to first use thread, rope or other tools to tie, sew, or clip your cloth together. The folded cloth is then put in dye.”可知，为了完成扎染人们需要线、夹子和其他工具，还要把布料折叠起来等。这是一种“技术”。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“The folded cloth is then put in dye.”可知，扎染的布料需要折叠起来，这样染出来的颜色才能深浅不一致。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In order to inherit the national culture, students in some schools in China recently tried tie-dyeing in their art classes, too.”可知，为了传承民族文化，中国一些学校的学生最近也在美术课上尝试了扎染。由此可推断，人们会继承这种国家级非物质文化遗产。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，作者主要对扎染进行了简单介绍。故选A。 Look at the works of art in the picture.

Back to 1914, Chinese artist Wu Qiqi got the idea from a postcard from Germany and created (创作) this beautiful art form. In 2008, ruanmuhua was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Chen Kongguo, a 73-year-old man from Fujian Province, started to learn the skill at 13 and has spent his life working on ruanmuhua. Making such an artwork is not easy.

So it needs several people to work together on one artwork. “We usually start by carving small pieces, and we’ll stick all the small pieces together to make up a work,” Chen Kongguo continued. Chen Kongguo is good at carving buildings. Every time he begins, he has to visit the building himself and then use a computer to make a smaller model. “If there’s a small change, the whole work can not be finished,” Chen Kongguo said. “After many years of working as a ruanmuhua creator, I even get to know more about Chinese-style buildings.” he added. 1．What can we know about ruanmuhua according to the passage?

In the past, these cut-outs were used to decorate windows, so they were also called “window flowers” in Chinese. This art form has a long history. The cut-outs were first used as patterns (纸样) for embroideries (刺绣品) in the 6th century. Later, paper cutting became an important form of Chinese folk art. Today, paper cuttings are usually made with color paper. They are used to decorate walls, windows, doors, mirrors, lanterns and so on.

But it was too expensive for her family to buy one at the time.. When she was 10, she saw a young bridegroom (新郎) walk by her house on his way to pick up his bride (新娘).

Bamboo weaving (竹编), a traditional craft is one of them. People split bamboo into thinner strips (条) and use them to make all kinds of tools and fun things. Making things from bamboo takes lots of steps, like choosing the right bamboo, splitting it, weaving it together, and coloring it. Each step needs a lot of skills and is done with our hands. In the past, bamboo was mainly used to make containers so that people could put the things like eggs, vegetables and some other things in them. Bamboo is strong but easy to bend, making it perfect for making strong containers. In Chinese culture, bamboo has many important meanings. It represents both the humble gentleman (寒士) and the spirit of perseverance (坚持). Since the ancient times, many famous artists and poets in China have involved bamboo in their works to express their feelings. Now, people in cities seldom use containers from bamboo weaving, but it is also preferred as an art form by many people. Embroidery (刺绣), another traditional craft, is like drawing with needles (针) and threads (线) on fabric, making pretty designs. Chinese embroidery has been around for more than 2, 000 years. It has four main styles: Su, Xiang, Shu and Yue. Su embroidery started long ago and became really popular in the Song Dynasty. Yue embroidery that originating from the Tang Dynasty is now in museums around the world. Shu embroidery, from Sichuan, is known for its detailed dragon and phoenix designs on soft bedding. Xiang embroidery, from Hunan, uses a special way to show powerful animals like lions and tigers. People use embroidery to decorate clothes and bedding. Also, China mixes paintings and photos into embroidery, making it look like a painting from far away and embroidery up close. Embroidery has always been an important trade, especially during the Silk Road days. Today, people still show their special love of it. 1．What was bamboo weaving mainly used for in the past?

Students from a high school in Changchun, Jilin, spent 129 days creating a relief mural (浮雕壁画). Their idea came from the famous painting A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains by Wang Ximeng. The mural was created on the wall of Changchun No.150 High School’s art classroom. It was completed by 21 students from this school under the guidance of their teacher, Duan Yingzi. The mural is nearly 3.5 meters high and 11 meters long. This piece of art work has amazed a lot of people on the Internet. According to the teacher, creating this mural is part of the school’s special lessons. The process of the creation includes drawing an outline (轮廓), making relief, painting base colors, and then finishing the final artwork. Most of the students in this group had no painting experience. Their teacher helped them learn the painting skills and practise painting many times. The teacher explained that the most difficult part of creating this mural was the color mixing. “It took us over a month to finish the outline and relief work. In the following two to three months, we focused on perfecting the color mixing,” she said. After trying again and again, they finally achieved this great goal. Although there is a difference in color compared with that of Wang Ximeng’s painting, the students are still very pleased with the final result. The difference is not so significant (显著的). The work still looks very beautiful. “In the past, students could only see the artwork in books. And they were unable to fully experience its beauty.By drawing the painting, students can have a deeper understanding of the ancient Chinese artists’ wisdom (智慧),” Duan said. 1．Where can you find the relief mural in this school?

Do you wear clothes with colorful patterns (图案)? Nowadays, people usually use machines to make these patterns. But how did ancient (古代的) people make them? Ancient people used tie-dye (扎染). Tie-dye is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China—it’s more than 1,000 years old! It’s popular in Yunnan. People first put cloth into the blue dye (染料). Some parts of the cloth become blue, but other parts have a lighter color. When you open the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns. Now the tie-dye skill is China’s national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Anning in Yunnan is famous for tie-dye. Yang Cheng, 52, learned tie-dye from his mother in the 1980s. Yang got the old skills. At the same time, he studied tie-dye in other countries such as Japan, India and France. It once took Yang two years to make two tie-dyed dresses! He used many skills of Anning tie-dye. Some patterns on the dress are traditional, while some are modern (现代的). He used images of Dianchi Lake and eight popular flowers in Yunnan. “I want to put all the beautiful things into tie-dye works.” Yang said. Now Yang is still dyeing and teaching his daughter tie-dye. “We have the duty to pass down the skill to younger generations (一代人),” Yang said.

It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to enjoy. Since the Warring States Period, people loved sweets and had different ways of making sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, people greatly improved skills of sugar making. So sugar, the rare thing that once could only enter homes of the kings, also went into common people’s homes. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting came out. Sugar painting is different from other paintings. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to make the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is finished. However, it’s a pity that this art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes (形状) has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, only a few old sugar painters are willing to pass on this kind of art.   For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has entered people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual (精神的) support of people  across centuries.

Paper cuttings, though, are no longer just used for pretty decorations (装饰). This art form came from the sixth century. Chinese women would cut shapes from gold and silver foil (箔) to stick to (粘住) their hair. Families later accepted (接受) the tradition of putting paper cuttings on doors and windows on special days. Finally, red paper cuttings became a way to express happy feelings and well wishes. At weddings a cutting of the “” character, which means “double happiness”, is commonly used. Paper-cutting master (大师) Li Yunxi a of China makes paper cutting look easy. She learned paper cutting from her mother and grandmother from the age of 6. According to Li, “All you need are paper, scissors and a lot of skill.” Li was born in Shaanxi Province, where paper cutting is still practiced and taught. Today, she teaches the ancient craft (手艺) to people of every age. Today some artists are turning paper cutting into a new art form. They often add paint and other materials to it. They mix imagination with skill to create amazing designs. Some of the most beautiful pieces of paper art come from Nahoko Kojima of Japan. She's a leader in the field of paper- cut art as “sculptures (雕塑)”. One of her most famous pieces is a life- size swimming polar bear that hangs from the ceiling (天花板).

A． B． C． D． The colorful clothes we wear these days are made by machines. But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful? The national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), tie-dyeing (扎染), is a way to do this. About more than 1,000 years ago, the Bai ethnic group in Yunnan used tie-dyeing to dye their own clothes. During the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties, this technique became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to emperors as gifts. To tie-dye, you need to first use thread (线), rope or other tools to tie, sew (缝), or clip (夹) your cloth together. The folded (折叠的) cloth is then put in dye. The Bai people usually make blue dye from a special plant. As the cloth is folded, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you unfold (展开) the cloth, you’ll see beautiful and unique patterns. It is so magical. In the 1960s, tie-dyeing became a fashion trend in the US. People tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans in imaginative (富有想象力的) ways. Many children in the US still learn tie-dyeing in their art classes. At Dior’s spring 2019 show, the Italian designer Maria Grazia surprised people with a series of tie-dyed dresses. “Tie-dyeing is like the activity or process of experimenting,” Chiuri said. “Its creative process is a kind of unpredictable (难以预料的) performance, right until the very end. It’s a surprise, a spectacle (奇观).” It seems that the tie-dyeing trend has never really gone away. In order to inherit (继承) the national culture, students in some schools in China recently tried tie-dyeing in their art classes, too. They all felt amazed by its beauty. They said they felt like they were magicians. 1．What do we know about tie-dyeing? A．People used it to make colorful clothes. B．It has a history of less than 1,000 years.
