“No building comes without carvings (雕刻), and carvings make buildings more valuable,” goes an old saying in Minnan (闽南), an area in southern Fujian Province. The saying refers to brick carvings, which were an important feature of the old red brick buildings in the area.
The carvings were once commonly found on either side of the main entrance of Minnan’s buildings. However, with development, the number of ancient red brick buildings has decreased, and Minnan’s brick carvings have gradually faded from sight, said Wu Jiandong, a young master brick carver from Fujian’s Quanzhou City.
The 42-year-old has learned the traditional technique and now combines it with modern tastes to develop his own style of brick carving. Wu said that he hoped to be able to help the traditional craft continue through innovation.
“Market demands have changed in recent years, and so has our thinking,” Wu said. “We must add modern elements to help pass down and develop traditional crafts.”
People in Minnan love tea, so Wu created a series of carved brick tea decorations, including tea plates, cup holders, pot holders and other items. They have been warmly received by local people and foreign visitors.
Earlier this year, a pendant (挂件) decorated with a swallow, tail ridge (屋脊) and a bright moon was bought by an overseas Chinese man from the Philippines. The customer told Wu that he would hang the pendant in his office as a reminder of the architecture and the moon of his hometown.
Because of the market’s recognition of his work, Wu will be able to pass down the craft and further develop his pieces, and the popularity of short videos has also given him new hopes of promoting (推广) Minnan brick carvings.
The art form originated during the Song Dynasty and flourished (繁荣) during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is now an important part of national cultural heritage.
42.The writer’s purpose in mentioning the saying at the beginning is ________.
A.to introduce an area in southern Fujian Province
B.to give advice on developing brick carvings
C.to show the importance of brick carvings in Minnan
D.to attract more people to visit Minnan
43.The underlined word “innovation” in the passage probably means ________.
A.spread B.carving C.imagination D.creation
44.We can infer from the sixth paragraph that ________.
A.Most of Wu’s customers came from abroad
B.brick carvings become symbols of homesickness for overseas Chinese
C.the pendant of brick carving becomes popular
D.Wu’s brick pieces are warmly received all over the world
45.What is probably the best title for this passage?
A.An Artist with His Own Style of Brick Carvings
B.The Ancient Red Brick Buildings in Minnan
C.Minnan’s Brick Carving Art Is Coming Back
D.The History of Minnan’s Brick Carvings
【答案】42.C 43.D 44.B 45.C
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章以闽南砖雕大师吴建东为核心,讲述他通过“传统技艺+现代元素”创新 (如茶主题、思乡主题砖雕),借助市场认可与短视频推广,让曾衰落的闽南砖雕重新焕发生机,同时提及砖雕的历史渊源与国家级非遗地位,展现这一传统工艺的传承与复兴。
42.推理判断题。根据第一段“No building comes without carvings, and carvings make buildings more valuable,”和“The saying refers to brick carvings, which were an important feature of the old red brick buildings in the area.”可知,作者在开头引用闽南谚语“无雕不成屋,有刻更价值”,是为了立即切入主题,并强调砖雕在闽南建筑和文化中曾占有极其重要和核心的地位,为下文讨论该技艺的衰落与复兴做铺垫。故选C。
43.词义猜测题。根据第三段“The 42-year-old has learned the traditional technique and now combines it with modern tastes to develop his own style of brick carving.”和第四段“We must add modern elements to help pass down and develop traditional crafts.”可知,吴建东学习传统技艺,结合现代审美形成个人风格,他认为必须加入现代元素传承发展传统工艺;据此可以推断,“innovation”是吴建东让传统工艺延续的方式——即“创新”,与“creation”含义最接近。故选D。
44.推理判断题。根据第六段“Earlier this year, a pendant decorated with a swallow, tail ridge and a bright moon was bought by an overseas Chinese man from the Philippines. The customer told Wu that he would hang the pendant in his office as a reminder of the architecture and the moon of his hometown.”可知,一位菲律宾华人购买了一件带有燕子、屋脊和明月图案的挂件,并表示要将其挂在办公室,作为对故乡建筑和明月的怀念;这强烈暗示了这些砖雕作品所蕴含的闽南文化元素,成为了海外游子寄托乡愁的象征。故选B。
45.最佳标题题。文章核心脉络是“闽南砖雕曾因时代发展衰落→吴建东通过创新让其重新获得市场认可 (受本地及外国游客欢迎、华侨购买)→借助短视频进一步推广→砖雕作为非遗的历史地位”,整体围绕“闽南砖雕从衰落走向复兴”展开;选项C“闽南砖雕艺术正在回归”精准概括了这一核心,适合作为文章的标题。故选C。

47.You can sit (任何地方) you like in the reading room.
【答案】anywhere
【详解】句意:在阅览室里你可以坐在任何你喜欢的地方。根据汉语提示可知,anywhere“任何地方”,作地点状语。故填anywhere。

“No building comes without carvings (雕刻), and carvings make buildings more valuable,” goes an old saying in Minnan (闽南), an area in southern Fujian Province. The saying refers to brick carvings, which were an important feature of the old red brick buildings in the area.
The carvings were once commonly found on either side of the main entrance of Minnan’s buildings. However, with development, the number of ancient red brick buildings has decreased, and Minnan’s brick carvings have gradually faded from sight, said Wu Jiandong, a young master brick carver from Fujian’s Quanzhou City.
The 42-year-old has learned the traditional technique and now combines it with modern tastes to develop his own style of brick carving. Wu said that he hoped to be able to help the traditional craft continue through innovation.
“Market demands have changed in recent years, and so has our thinking,” Wu said. “We must add modern elements to help pass down and develop traditional crafts.”
People in Minnan love tea, so Wu created a series of carved brick tea decorations, including tea plates, cup holders, pot holders and other items. They have been warmly received by local people and foreign visitors.
Earlier this year, a pendant (挂件) decorated with a swallow, tail ridge (屋脊) and a bright moon was bought by an overseas Chinese man from the Philippines. The customer told Wu that he would hang the pendant in his office as a reminder of the architecture and the moon of his hometown.
Because of the market’s recognition of his work, Wu will be able to pass down the craft and further develop his pieces, and the popularity of short videos has also given him new hopes of promoting (推广) Minnan brick carvings.
The art form originated during the Song Dynasty and flourished (繁荣) during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is now an important part of national cultural heritage.
42.The writer’s purpose in mentioning the saying at the beginning is ________.
A.to introduce an area in southern Fujian Province
B.to give advice on developing brick carvings
C.to show the importance of brick carvings in Minnan
D.to attract more people to visit Minnan
43.The underlined word “innovation” in the passage probably means ________.
A.spread B.carving C.imagination D.creation
44.We can infer from the sixth paragraph that ________.
A.Most of Wu’s customers came from abroad
B.brick carvings become symbols of homesickness for overseas Chinese
C.the pendant of brick carving becomes popular
D.Wu’s brick pieces are warmly received all over the world
45.What is probably the best title for this passage?
A.An Artist with His Own Style of Brick Carvings
B.The Ancient Red Brick Buildings in Minnan
C.Minnan’s Brick Carving Art Is Coming Back
D.The History of Minnan’s Brick Carvings

Hongcun Village, with a history of about 900 years, is an extremely beautiful village in Anhui Province.
Located under Mount Huang, the village has kept the major Chinese styles from ancient times. It’s also one of the World Cultural Heritage (遗产) sites. Walk along the old stone streets and lanes, and you will feel like travelling in ancient times. All the houses with grey roofs and white walls were built during the Ming and Qing dynasties. On the front gate of each household is dotted with (点缀着) red Chinese lanterns. All of the houses are outlined (显示……的轮廓) against the blue sky and reflected into the clear rivers, lakes and ponds, surrounded (环绕) by dark green mountains. It’s a living water-ink picture.
Step into a teahouse to take a rest. A piece of classical music, played by the guqin, fills up the house and floats into your heart, as if you could hear birds singing, pines (松树) whistling and rivers flowing. You will be lost in a world, full of peace and pleasure. Holding the tea cup, you will find some lines of poems on its outer layer (层) coming into your sight:
No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain;
The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.
Walk out of the teahouse, and go to the open-air theatre. The actors with coloured make-up are performing on the stage in special clothes. It’s a local opera called Huangmei opera and different from others such as Kun opera, Beijing opera and Yue opera. Also, you can enjoy various (多样的) art forms: crosstalk, kouji and pingshu.
