National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations.

(B) Zhao Yishen, the 40-year-old artist, is carving a woodblock (雕刻木板) carefully, with a chisel in his right hand. To carve the woodblocks, he has to hold this position for six hours. He has been carving woodblocks since 2012. “It feels good and looks beautiful when a Chinese character slowly appears on the woodblock under your chisel,” says Zhao. Zhao is now the only full-time carver working at a workshop that creates woodblock-printed books in Beijing. As a teenager, he loved to read ancient Chinese books in the library, and the curiosity of how the books were made led him to get a job at an ancient books woodblock printing studio in Yangzhou in 2011 after graduating as a law major from university. Block printing was listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009. Zhao started to learn the skill from Chen Yishi, one of the skill’s masters, in 2012. “The first step is to learn how to sharpen your chisel,” says Zhao. “After using it for a while, you need to sharpen it again.” After that, the woodblock must be put at a certain angle that is deep enough to show up the characters and also to make sure the cuts are deep enough-but not too deep. Then Zhao puts the paper, face down, onto the wood after brushing oil on the paper. This helps to transfer the characters onto the block. Once the carving is finished, the woodblock is brushed with ink and paper pressed onto it. It is ready to print. In Zhao’s mind, the inked woodblock is a work of art. After a year of learning from Chen, Zhao found a job at Zhuyu Shanfang in 2013. His carved woodblocks have been used for several books over the past six years. “I just learned the basic skills, but to master it, I still need years of practice,” says Zhao. “A good craftsman can carve an entire book with every single character aligned in order.” ( ) 31. How long has Zhao Yishen carved woodblocks? A. For 12 years. B. For 13 years. C. For 14 years. D. For 17 years. ( ) 32. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ____. A. woodblock B. character C. chisel D. ink. ( ) 33. Which is NOT the key to his success? A. Patience. B. The knowledge of law. C. Hard work. D. Years of practice. ( ) 34. In what order did the following events take place? a. Zhao found a job at Zhuyu Shanfang. b. Zhao graduated as a law major from university. c. Zhao’s carved woodblocks have been used for several books. d. Zhao began to love reading ancient Chinese books in the library. e.

History of woodblocks. C. Zhao Yishen and his job. D. A traditional skill-Woodblock. (C) How do we use strong body language to make us seem powerful while making a speech? Vanessa, who is a researcher of human behavior once said that Tony the Tiger has some of the best body language we can learn from. The picture is Tony the Tiger’s typical pose on every cereal box across America. Researchers have found that the broader we stand, the more powerful we feel. So by examining Tony’s pose, we see that he is standing very broadly with his feet. If you look closer, you’ll see he is pointing upwards, as if he were saying, “I am going up” or “ ▲ ”. If you look at Tony again, you can see his smile lines reach almost all the way up to his eyes. His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic. Tony the Tiger always faces forward. When we are talking with people face to face, we are showing a sign of respect. So if you look at the cereal box, you may feel like Tony is paying attention to you and this is exactly what kids like to see. An interesting study found that 57 out of the 86 cereal boxes had characters looking down. Imagine a child is walking around in the supermarket, hand-in-hand with his or her mom. The small child is looking up at all the boxes and they see the cereal characters looking down at them. When the child looks up and makes eye contact with the box, this attracts the child’s attention to that character. Making eye contact is great because it can increase feelings of love and interest! Great body language during the speech draws the audience’s attention to your points, and helps you connect with your listeners and build up a good relationship. Next time you are going to speak in public, just think about Tony, the Tiger! ( ) 36. Which is the most suitable sentence to fill in ▲ ? A. This is me. B. I’m No.1. C. Who are you? D. Why not? ( ) 37. According to the passage, what makes Tony the Tiger look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic? A. His broad standing position B. His upward-pointing finger C. His expressive open smile D. His forward-facing posture ( ) 38. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Making eye contact with people is helpful. B. Characters can attract children by looking up. C. The number is useful to the study on characters. D. Many cereal boxes have characters looking down. ( ) 39. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Tony the Tiger. B. To tell people how to make a speech. C. To talk about Vanessa’s interesting study. D. To help people have better body language. ( ) 40. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 第二节 阅读填空（每小题1分，共5分） When you travel in Chengdu, never miss the wonderful face-changing at the local tea houses. How much do you know about this traditional skill? Let’s learn something about it. 41 And it is also a very lively way to show the thoughts and feelings of different characters of the play.

To scare away the dangerous animals and protect themselves, the ancient people painted their faces in different colors, making themselves look fierce (凶猛的). 42 Generally speaking, there are three kinds of skills of face-changing, including wiping (擦) the face, blowing the face and pulling the face. 43 Before performing the skill of wiping the face, the actor will first spread some special paint on the face. Then he could change the color of his face in a second by wiping it. When the actors perform the skill of blowing the face, he blows a small box full of cosmetic powders (化妆粉) which is placed on the stage. And then the powders are blown to his face, changing the color into another. 44 Under the cover of the dancing movements, the actor pulls each piece of the facial make-ups which is tied with a thin thread (线). The actor must do the movements carefully and very quickly. 45 This was his latest Guinness World record.

The skill pulling the face is more difficult. C. Sichuan Opera master Peng Denghuai changed 14 masks in 25 seconds. D. Face-changing is a unique skill which is widely used in Sichuan Opera. E.
