Every day, she enjoyed watching her mother make beautiful patterns. “It was like drawing.” she said. Chen started learning Yi embroidery in 2012. The patterns looked simple, but when she tried it herself, everything seemed difficult. Chen still remembered the time when she finished her first embroidery.

In 2022, Chen chose to go back to her hometown and started her own workshop. To make Yi embroidery more popular, Chen makes some changes to it. Traditional Yi embroidery uses very bright colours, so she tries softer colours for daily wear. She also puts patterns on bags and notebooks—things young people love.

As well as its tea, Wuyi Mountain is also known for its bamboo weaving (编织) tradition. With a history of over 2,000 years, bamboo weaving art was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. In the hands of poets, calligraphers (书法家) and painters, bamboo can also be made into beautiful works of art and daily objects, including baskets, umbrellas and bathtubs. Xie Hongxing, 42, was born and grew up around Wuyi Mountain. He began to learn bamboo weaving when he was a teenager. “Bamboo weaving covers all kinds of of possible creations, meaning that __①__,” said he. As an inheritor (传承人) of the bamboo weaving art, he has been working on it for more than 20 years. On Douyin, a popular short-video platform, Xie greatly surprises many people by using a knife to quickly cut bamboo into pieces of the same width. In 2022, Xie became popular online by building a life-like miniature (缩微模型) of the Tiangong space station out of bamboo. He said it took him 46 days to finish it. He used more than 1 dozen kinds of local bamboo to show the beauty of the space station. “Like knitting a sweater, I used very thin bamboo pieces, wove them tightly together with a tool to make different patterns,” said Xie. Like other inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, Xie finds that it’s not easy to pass on the craft, but he’s trying his best. He set up a bamboo weaving museum in which visitors can watch and take photos of his works. At his workroom in the Wuyi Mountain scenic area, people can learn how to make earrings and bracelets (手镯), as well as buy some new handmade goods.

Xiong Chuanfa has been working on blowing sugar figurines, a Chinese traditional folk art with a history of over 600 years, for more than twenty years. In this special art form, the artist heats the syrup (糖浆) to a certain temperature, pulls off a small amount, makes it into a ball with an open center, presses the open area together and stretches it to form a tube. Then he blows air into the tube and makes it into different shapes. The traditional folk art has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Every morning, Xiong prepares the molten syrup and drives to start his “magic show” around his city. “Many people, especially kids, are attracted by this sugar art. After all, the ancient art is gradually disappearing,” Xiong said. Simon, from Australia, was attracted by a sugar Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, in Xiong’s stall. Simon couldn’t resist trying to make one himself. However, he couldn’t get the wanted shape though he tried several times. “It looks simple, but actually it’s very difficult to master the skill,” he said. Thanks to Xiong’s helping hand, Simon finally saw a horse gradually taking shape. “Can’t believe I’ve done this,” he said, expressing his excitement at how a pot of sugar syrup has been turned into something truly amazing. Xiong said that blowing sugar figurines can date back to (追溯到) the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644) and that his family has passed down this art for four generations. “My 6-year-old son often blows up a balloon-like sugar figure, just like I used to do as a child,” he said. Xiong’s wife Wang Li is an artist of the sugar painting, which is a form of traditional Chinese folk art that uses hot, liquid sugar to make 2-D objects. “None of the cultural heritage left by our ancestors should be lost. They are name cards of the splendid Chinese culture and should be spread around the world,” Xiong said. The couple often show their skills beside colleges to show young people the traditional art and allow them to experience its charm. “Sugar paintings and sugar figurines are childhood memories of several generations of Chinese people. We try to combine paper-cutting skills and modern elements (元素) with sugar figurines, making them similar to modern trend (趋势) while keeping a balance between beauty and taste. We will spend the rest of our lives helping pass on this intangible heritage,” Xiong said. Many people were deeply moved after learning about Xiong’s story. 1．Which of the following people might have tasted this kind of sugar figurines? A．B． C． D． 2．The underlined word “resist” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A．be praised by B．stop oneself from C．be attracted by D．remind oneself of 3．Which of the following is true according to the article? A．Xiong’s son blows up a horse with his father’s help. B．Xiong’s wife is also good at blowing sugar figurines. C．Xiong tries to add modern elements to sugar figurines. D．The Xiongs visit colleges to teach students their skills. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．A Chinese artist on tasty traditional folk art B．A new modern trend C．A balance between beauty and taste D．Tasty sugar figurines 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 2 The World of Art 单元话题阅读理解练习 Unit 2 The World of Art单元话题：传统工艺 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 Students at our school show their favorite art forms in handmade papers.

He also teaches students about the traditional art. “I pass on not only the skills, but also the experience of running a business (企业),” he said. “If I only teach them how to make the figurines, my students won’t be able to make a living from it, and it will not be possible to pass on the traditional art to more people.” Many young people are interested in the traditional art, but they’re facing many ▲ .

Instead, they have to do it all over again. So it can be stressful. Dough figurine making needs great talent, a lot of thinking and practice. Peng believes he can teach the young people in a new way. “My daughter is studying animation design (动画设计) at university, so I’m thinking about bringing animation and dough figurines together. Making dough figurine cartoons would be much more exciting than just passing on the art to the young people,” he said.

Xiong Chuanfa has been working on blowing sugar figurines, a Chinese traditional folk art with a history of over 600 years, for more than twenty years. In this special art form, the artist heats the syrup (糖浆) to a certain temperature, pulls off a small amount, makes it into a ball with an open center, presses the open area together and stretches it to form a tube. Then he blows air into the tube and makes it into different shapes. The traditional folk art has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Every morning, Xiong prepares the molten syrup and drives to start his “magic show” around his city. “Many people, especially kids, are attracted by this sugar art. After all, the ancient art is gradually disappearing,” Xiong said. Simon, from Australia, was attracted by a sugar Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, in Xiong’s stall. Simon couldn’t resist trying to make one himself. However, he couldn’t get the wanted shape though he tried several times. “It looks simple, but actually it’s very difficult to master the skill,” he said. Thanks to Xiong’s helping hand, Simon finally saw a horse gradually taking shape. “Can’t believe I’ve done this,” he said, expressing his excitement at how a pot of sugar syrup has been turned into something truly amazing. Xiong said that blowing sugar figurines can date back to (追溯到) the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644) and that his family has passed down this art for four generations. “My 6-year-old son often blows up a balloon-like sugar figure, just like I used to do as a child,” he said. Xiong’s wife Wang Li is an artist of the sugar painting, which is a form of traditional Chinese folk art that uses hot, liquid sugar to make 2-D objects. “None of the cultural heritage left by our ancestors should be lost. They are name cards of the splendid Chinese culture and should be spread around the world,” Xiong said. The couple often show their skills beside colleges to show young people the traditional art and allow them to experience its charm. “Sugar paintings and sugar figurines are childhood memories of several generations of Chinese people. We try to combine paper-cutting skills and modern elements (元素) with sugar figurines, making them similar to modern trend (趋势) while keeping a balance between beauty and taste. We will spend the rest of our lives helping pass on this intangible heritage,” Xiong said. Many people were deeply moved after learning about Xiong’s story. 1．Which of the following people might have tasted this kind of sugar figurines? A．B． C． D． 2．The underlined word “resist” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A．be praised by B．stop oneself from C．be attracted by D．remind oneself of 3．Which of the following is true according to the article? A．Xiong’s son blows up a horse with his father’s help. B．Xiong’s wife is also good at blowing sugar figurines. C．Xiong tries to add modern elements to sugar figurines. D．The Xiongs visit colleges to teach students their skills. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．A Chinese artist on tasty traditional folk art B．A new modern trend C．A balance between beauty and taste D．Tasty sugar figurines 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了中年糖画艺人熊传发传承和发扬中国传统民间艺术——吹糖人的故事。他不仅自己熟练掌握这门技艺，还积极向年轻人展示和传授，努力让这项非物质文化遗产在现代社会中焕发新的活力。 1．推理判断题。文章主要描述了吹糖人这一中国传统民间艺术，并提到这种艺术已经流传了600多年，且是逐渐消失的古老艺术。1716—1798年代的符合。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Simon couldn’t resist trying to make one himself.”以及后文“However, he couldn’t get the wanted shape though he tried several times.”可知，Simon忍不住想自己尝试做一个，但尽管他试了几次，还是没能做出想要的形状。由此可以推断，“resist”在这里的意思是“忍住，克制自己不去做某事”，即“stop oneself from”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“We try to combine paper-cutting skills and modern elements (元素) with sugar figurines, making them similar to modern trend (趋势) while keeping a balance between beauty and taste.”可知，熊传发试图将剪纸技巧和现代元素与糖人相结合，使它们既符合现代潮流，又保持了美观与口感的平衡。因此，C选项“熊试图在糖人中加入现代元素”是正确的。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了熊传发这位中国糖画艺人如何传承和发扬中国传统民间艺术——吹糖人的故事。他不仅自己熟练掌握这门技艺，还积极向年轻人展示和传授，努力让这项非物质文化遗产在现代社会中焕发新的活力。因此，A选项“一位致力于美味传统民间艺术的中国艺人”最能概括文章的主旨。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
