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.

5.What do the underlined words “gone viral” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Maintained highly competitive.
B.Received good protection.
C.Started declining gradually.

A.It develops based on coffee art.
B.It involves complicated tea-making skills.
C.It mainly describes beautiful scenery.
D.It is painted with whipped milk.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段可知,茶百戏可以创造出无数的图案,如竹子和山脉,甚至书法。从磨成细粉,到倒开水,搅拌成浓沫,最后画出图案,总共有十几道工序。所以茶百戏涉及非常复杂的制茶艺术。故选B项。

A.Zhang Zhifeng—A Practician of Chabaixi
B.Ancient Tea Technique Finds New Popular Recognition
C.A China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage

答案:B
解析:标题归纳题。根据第一段可知,文章主要介绍一种古老的几乎失传的中国茶艺因一部电视剧重新被人了解认识,文章下文主要向读者介绍这种茶艺及其价值。因此B项“古代茶艺重新获得大众认可”可以作本文的最佳标题。故选B项。
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.

解析:B项对乐亭泥塑价格低廉进一步说明,承接上文,讲泥塑每个只卖几分钱。
4.答案:E
