With few of the books surviving to the present day,the bookbinding technique was at risk of becoming lost before Beijing-based artist Zhang Xiaodong decided to research and bring it back to life.Using the Palace Museum’s only existing dragon scale book for reference,he spent four years printing and binding to perfect his art. One of Zhang’s works is a dragon scale bookbinding version of the classic Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber.The 120-chapter book comes with recreations of 230 images by Qing Dynasty artist Sun Wen.Combining ancient folding and cutting techniques with modern technology,Zhang printed pictures and text onto paper at a factory before cutting them to recreate Sun’s paintings. As part of Zhang’s “scientific approach”,he visited old towns and heritage sites to source materials traditionally used in bookbinding,such as rice paper,bamboo,silk and wood.Then came the most important and difficult part of the binding process:controlling the placement of each page.In order to create a complete picture,each sheet of paper needs to be placed in exactly the right place.Zhang said that a mistake of just a hundredth of a centimeter can produce a huge,visible error when a book’s hundreds of pages are displayed together. Despite Zhang’s efforts,dragon scale bookbinding remains an endangered art.But Ying Kwok,founder of the Art Appraisal Club,is encouraged by growing efforts in China to preserve the country’s cultural heritage.“There has always been an interest in traditional Chinese art but now there are more young people interested in experimental and modern takes on traditional techniques,” she said.“It shows how a younger generation of artists can actually use traditional formats to respond to their surroundings.” 1.What can we learn about dragon scale bookbinding in paragraph 1? A.It used to be ignored by upper-class families. B.It began to disappear during the Tang Dynasty. C.It was created because of royals’ love for dragons. D.It was named according to the look of the finished works. 2.What did Zhang Xiaodong do to bring dragon scale bookbinding back to life? A.He took up painting after seeing Sun Wen’s paintings. B.He combined modern technology with ancient traditions. C.He spent four years reading Dream of the Red Chamber. D.He applied for permission to work in the Palace Museum. 3.What is the most difficult part of dragon scale bookbinding? A.Finding the right materials. B.Placing each page accurately. C.Correcting the book’s mistakes. D.Sticking hundreds of pages together. 4.What is Ying Kwok’s attitude to young people’s practices? A.Confused.　　　B.Worried. C.Approving. D.Forgiving. Ⅴ.七选五 International tourism is becoming interestingly popular,and large numbers of people from all over the world come to visit famous places such as the Great Wall of China and the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.　1　 They’ve thrown rubbish everywhere,brought more traffic and even done serious damage to ancient relics.  As for the damage,there are many different causes.For example,the paintings in the Sistine Chapel are being damaged by people breathing onto them when they visit.　2　 That may raise the humidity(湿气) of the air and damage the paintings.Damage in other places such as the Great Wall is because of tourists climbing on delicate(脆弱的) areas.Besides,roads have also been built to help visitors climb the Wall easily.These activities can cause a lot of damage to the area.  　3　 Firstly,we have to cut down tourist numbers,because fewer visitors will result in less damage.Secondly,we should make strict rules about which areas people can visit and what they can do when they get there.　4　 People will not be allowed to walk off the paths.Visitors to indoor places can be asked to wear masks to protect the paintings.  In short,it is necessary to control tourism at famous places.　5　 And people who live hundreds of years later will have no chance to see these great places.  A.For example,special paths can be built. B.What can we do to deal with these problems? C.The Great Wall was built over 2,000 years ago. D.However,these visitors have caused many problems. E.Traveling is the best way for us to get to know the world. F.If we do not do this,these places will disappear from our planet. G.Their breath contains very small drops of water that are present in the air.
