Sugar painting as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire.
Since the Warring States Period (战国时代), the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. With the cultural and economic (经济) development of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared.

They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done.
_________ The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except for those aging sugar painters.
For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on.
21. When did sugar painting appear?
A. In the Yuan Dynasty. B. In the Tang Dynasty.
C. In the Ming Dynasty. D. In the Warring States Period.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了糖画艺术的起源、独特制作工艺、当前面临的传承危机以及其作为非物质文化遗产的重要价值。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared.”可知,在明代,有人在糖的碗中加入吉祥如意的图画,糖画就出现了。故选C。
【22题详解】
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,因为糖浆冷却后会变硬,所以糖画师必须很快做出作品。故选B。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据后文“The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except for those aging sugar painters.”可知,本文主要讲述了糖画艺术正因需求减少和传承人匮乏而面临衰亡的危机。所以此处应该填入B选项内容,表达“然而,可惜的是,最近这种民间艺术正在消亡。”符合语境。故选B。
【24题详解】
观点态度题。根据第四段中“The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except for those aging sugar painters.”可知,曾经造型丰富的糖画,因为需求少了,变得越来越匮乏。更糟糕的是,除了那些上了年纪的糖画师,似乎很少有人愿意把这个传承下去。由此可推测出,作者对今天的糖画的态度是担心的。故选C。
【25题详解】
最佳标题题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了糖画艺术的起源、独特制作工艺、当前面临的传承危机以及其作为非物质文化遗产的重要价值。由此可知,A选项“发现糖画艺术”最适合做文章的标题。故选A。
