译文参考
韩干和他的马
好一匹骏马!尽管已经走过千年的时光,我们还能从它炽烈的双眼、裸露的牙齿以及舞动的马蹄中感觉到力量。《照夜白图》,现收藏于纽约大都会艺术博物馆,被认为是中国艺术史上最为重要的骏马图之一。它的创作者——画家韩干以其神形兼备的画马技术闻名于世。
韩干出生于初唐时期的一个贫苦家庭,年少时不得不在当地酒肆帮工来维持家庭生计。有一次,他被派至诗人王维家收酒钱,绘画才能因机缘巧合被发现。韩干在门口等候时,他用一根木棒在地上画画,正好被王维看到。王维决定资助这位年轻人学画,并将他引荐给了一位绘画大师。韩干本来就有天赋,加之多年勤学苦练,最终被召入皇宫为唐玄宗效力。

唐代的皇帝十分喜爱骏马,马因此成为画家笔下的常见主题。当时,学习画马最普遍的方法是临摹前人留下的画作。但韩干却采用了不同的方法——他去观察真的马。他是皇家马厩的常客,甚至直接搬到马厩中与马夫同住了好长一段时间。无论是静止休息的马还是动态行进的马,都给韩干带来很多灵感。他观察这些动物的时间越长,他就越了解它们。韩干日复一日地练习画马,用画笔把眼睛观察到的每一处细节都呈现了出来。
据说,皇帝曾让他拜一位画马大师为师,韩干却回答:“我有自己的老师,陛下。您马厩里所有的马都是我的老师。”
看过韩干的骏马图的人都对他独特的技艺赞赏有加,称他的马“跃然纸上”。就连宋朝的著名诗人苏轼都曾赞扬过韩干画马的卓越才能,他在诗中写道:“韩生画马真是马。”

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
Life can sometimes seem like an endless series of exhibitions.For those of us involved in the art world, there are times when we’re constantly visiting gallery after gallery, taking in as much as possible and getting to know the works of artists from far and wide.But there are some artists whose works consistently stand out.Some artists’ works stay in the thought and heart of an audience long after the show is over.I’ve noticed over the years that these are often the artists who have understood fully the skill of telling the story behind their art.These artists aren’t just selling paintings — they’re selling an experience.
Roxanna Kibsey is one of these artists.Her paintings are often exact description of frozen tundra (冻原) or autumn trees — so bright that they could nearly burn a hole in the canvas.When I met her at an exhibition she couldn’t wait to tell me about the place in her paintings.“Where I grew up we had nine months of winter every year.It’s really quite a tough place,” she said.She relived a part of her childhood when we chatted in front of her painting.The image brought to my mind memories of driving through the snow-covered countryside during my own first winter in Canada.I could almost hear the crunching ice under my feet as she described to me the countryside she grew up in.
Businessmen may have their elevator pitch, but artists, too, need their 30-second story which rolls freely off the tongue.That’s why it’s so important that for each piece you might be exhibiting, you can conjure up (唤起) a story behind it, and tell that story to your audience in a way that helps them connect with your work, and makes them want to buy a piece.

By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi(茶百戏), an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a TV drama, has gone viral for its apparent similarity with modern coffee art. However, ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing. Zhang Zhifeng, a practician of chabaixi, found scenes of chabaixi in the drama aroused great interest among ordinary people.
Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps, from grinding (碾碎) tea for fine powder, to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth (泡沫), and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making coffee because people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. But when the water touches the surface of whipped (搅打起泡的) tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha. The quality of diancha is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
“Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is not only that this technique is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways are similar to what we have now,” Zhang said.
Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was listed as part of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng. He started researching the origins of chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the technique back in 2009 after decades of trials and practice.
“To let this technique fade would be a shame. It must be passed on to the next generations so they can understand its history,” Zhang said.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
For nearly 50 years, Zhao Yuming has been absorbed in his own world of clay figurines(泥塑). Zhao is the only remaining clay sculpture master craftsman in Laoting County, Hebei Province. He has been officially recognised as a master of intangible cultural heritage. 1 This is more of a responsibility and a source of pressure.
2 In ancient times, Laoting clay figurines were mainly children’s toys made by countryside artists. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, there were several workshops in villages in Laoting County and the production reached a high level, but the prices were too low. 3 . However, for a long period, many clay artists relied on making and selling clay figurines at those low prices to make ends meet.
Nowadays, shopping malls are full of high-end toys, so the Laoting clay figurines have gradually been out of favor. 4 Zhao said that although his children have other jobs to feed their families, he still wants to pass on his skills to them and his grandchildren. “If we do not pass it on, we will do a disservice to our country. Passing on the skills, honoring ourselves and repaying the country is the best option,” Zhao said.
Facing a demand for economic development, many regions are increasingly attaching importance to the protection of valuable traditional cultural skills. People come to realise that developing our traditional crafts promotes the development of local economies. 5 .
A.But for him, this is not only an honor.
B.Clay figurines were sold for just a few pennies each.
C.Laoting clay sculpture has a nearly 500-year history.
D.Laoting clay sculpture is an important part of his life.
E.However, some craftsmen have chosen to continue the tradition.
F.More importantly, it contributes to the goal of building “a beautiful China”.
G.He must teach the next generation to avoid the loss of this traditional art.
