第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解

Included in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list, Chinese shadow puppetry (皮影戏) is considered one of the nation's oldest forms of material performance. Annie Katsura Rollins, who is based in Toronto and researching Chinese shadow puppetry, has spent years developing expertise (专业技能) in Chinese shadow puppetry and making great efforts to help it survive a battle with cultural changes, urbanization, and modern forms of entertainment.
“There's an antediluvian_understanding of what tradition is,” says Rollins.“We think it's old and what once was. Actually, traditions are always changing in history and we just fail to witness it. To survive, the tradition needs to be with the present and be looking toward the future.”
Rollins was in charge of the exhibition “Immaterial Remains: Can You Preserve a Shadow?”, which aimed to not only display the art form but also focus on the question of how to preserve shadow puppetry in China. In the exhibition, the finely carved details of clothing, facial features, and hair were obvious in the shadows of the puppets, which were in motion as air flowed, bringing them to life on the walls. Samples of the dried cowhide (牛皮) used to make the puppets were available for visitors to touch and feel. A video demonstrated how the puppets are made and operated. Rollins notes, “If you can eat with chopsticks, you can also work with a shadow puppet.”
She says the years she spent learning from master puppeteers in small villages remain the best way to carry on the traditions of Chinese shadow puppetry into the future, which she describes as practitioner-led (由从业者主导的) creativity. “I think that is the key to really keeping the form growing, developing, and relevant to current society and culture,” Rollins says. “We need to emphasize the live performance as a method of preservation so that every time it's performed, it's being continued in its original form rather than in pictures or videos. Those things only show part of what a live performance is.”

Invented in the Tang Dynasty and widely adopted after the Song Dynasty in Fujian, the watertight-bulkhead (水密舱壁) technology permits the construction of ocean-going ships with watertight compartments (隔层). If one or two cabins are accidentally damaged at sea, water will not flood the other cabins and the ships will remain afloat.
The experience and working methods of watertight-bulkhead technology are transmitted orally from master to apprentices. However, the need for Chinese junks (中国式帆船) has decreased sharply as wooden ships have been replaced by steel-hulled ships, and today only three masters can claim full command of this technology. Associated building costs have also increased owing to a shortage in raw materials. Therefore, the inheritance (继承) of this heritage is decreasing, and inheritors are forced to seek alternative employment.
Zhang Guohui, a 77-year-old inheritor of the watertight-bulkhead techniques used to make Chinese junks, has been making ships for more than six decades. Coming from a poor family in a fishing town in East China's Fujian Province, Zhang started to make a living at the age of 16 fishing on the open seas, which is where he developed a keen interest in constructing boats. As a fast learner, Zhang was later sent to shipyards in the cities of Quanzhou and Xiamen in Fujian Province, where he received training and became a master of traditional Chinese junks and gained fame because of his extremely skilled craftsmanship in the construction of these junks.
In fear that the traditional skills would die someday, Zhang started to restore old ships and make model junks for the museum with his 20 years of shipbuilding skills. “The restored ancient ships are the historical witnesses of Quanzhou as a maritime center of the East and Southeast Asia trade network,” said Zhang, adding that he finds the work meaningful since younger generations can learn from exhibitions of ancient ships that their ancestors had advanced shipbuilding technology at an early stage of development. “As long as I'm alive, I'll keep passing on the heritage,” he said.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了发明于唐代,宋代以后在福建被广泛采用的水密舱壁技术,这是宝贵的中国非物质文化遗产。文章介绍了其中一位致力于该项技术推广与宣传的传承人——张国辉老人。
5.What function is expected of the watertight-bulkhead technology?
A.To prevent ships from sinking.
B.To reduce the weight of ships.
C.To allow ships to sail faster.
D.To help ships resist strong winds.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段“If one or two cabins are accidentally damaged at sea, water will not flood the other cabins and the ships will remain afloat.”可知,水密舱壁技术可以在船只部分受损的情况下,仍可以继续保持漂浮不下沉。
6.Which of the following is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A.To prove the significance of steel-hulled ships.
B.To stress the complex process of building wooden ships.
C.To present people's efforts to pass down cultural heritages.
D.To show difficulties of inheriting watertight-bulkhead technology.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Therefore, the inheritance (继承) of this heritage is decreasing, and inheritors are forced to seek alternative employment.”可知,本段在讲述当今时代传承这项技术的种种困难。
7.What can we learn about Zhang Guohui from paragraph 3?
A.He supports his family by fishing.
B.He was born with a talent for shipbuilding.
C.He has devoted himself to constructing boats.
D.He has won many awards for restoring ancient ships.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段首句“Zhang Guohui ... has been making ships for more than six decades.”可知,张国辉老人一生都致力于造船事业。
8.What does Zhang Guohui convey in his words?
A.Traditional culture should be innovated with the times.
B.The ancient ship trade originated from Quanzhou in China.
C.It is necessary for modern students to learn shipbuilding skills.
D.It is worth passing on traditional skills from generation to generation.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中张国辉老人所说的话以及“adding that ... had advanced shipbuilding technology at an early stage of development”可知,他说这些话表明他认为致力于代代传承这一传统技艺是有意义的,是值得的。
