At first, it appears to just be a piece of decayed wood. Not unless one is told that this object, standing no more than 2.4 inches, is of great historical significance.
This wooden piece, later identified as a bowl coated with a thin layer of lacquer (漆),was excavated from the Hemudu site in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province, in 1977. Belonging to the Neolithic period, it suggests that people living along the Yangtze River between 6 and 7 millennia ago had sourced sap from lacquer trees and used it to facilitate their daily lives.
Archaeological work has revealed that people began to use the fluid from lacquer trees as early as 8,000 years ago. Because of its fine physical and chemical properties, natural lacquer as a coating material played a vital role in ancient times. Lacquer sap, milky and greyish when collected, turns a dark brown color upon exposure to air. It protects objects from water, humidity and insect infestation so they are more durable. It can also be mixed with color pigments for decorative purposes. Lacquer was applied, mostly on a wooden core, to make armours, vessels, plucked zithers, wine cups, ornamental objects and drums. Striking visual effects were created on a lacquer⁃coated surface on a wooden, metal, cotton or other types of core.
This was just the beginning of ancient Chinese utilizing lacquer and other materials to make wares that define timeless beauty in their living spaces. Yang Ming, a celebrated lacquerer of the Ming Dynasty, summarized the evolution of the techniques and artistic styles in the pre face for Xiushi Lu, a publication on Chinese lacquer work written by fellow artisan Huang Cheng in the 16th century. Xiushi Lu stated that there had been 14 primary crafts and over 300 varieties of lacquerware. The techniques and types have been so diverse that one would find it an extravagant feast for the eyes.
In the book, Huang mentioned one such sophisticated technique called “xipi qi”, in which the time⁃consuming process of coloring, layering and polishing ultimately assumes a dazzling pattern of multiple interlaced colors, predominantly red, yellow and black, sometimes added with other hues.

第1课时·作业评价
Ⅰ.阅读理解
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了漆在古代的应用及其作为保护和装饰材料的重要性,并概述了从新石器时代到明代漆艺技术的发展与多样化。
1.选A 代词指代题。根据第二段最后一句可知,这里说的是人们从漆树获取树液(sap)并使用它来使日常生活便利,所以“it”指代的是前面提到的 “the sap”(树液)。故选A。
2.选B 段落大意题。第三段分别阐述了天然漆作为涂层材料在保护物体(防水、防潮、防虫)以及装饰等方面的多种功能,所以作者在第三段描述的是漆的多样功能。故选B。
3.选C 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Xiushi Lu stated ...for the eyes.”以及最后一段的内容可知,“犀皮漆”是一种复杂的工艺,需要耗时的上色、分层和抛光过程,最终呈现出令人眼花缭乱的图案,作者运用《髹饰录》一书中记载的“犀皮漆”工艺来说明中国古代漆艺技术是多么发达。故选C。
4.选B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章从1977年出土的涂漆木碗引出人们对漆的使用,接着介绍了漆在古代的使用时间、功能、应用范围,还提到明代对漆艺技术和艺术风格演变的总结以及复杂的漆艺技术如“犀皮漆”,整体围绕中国漆艺的演变展开,B选项“The evolution of Chinese lacquer art.(中国漆艺的演变)”能够概括文章主旨。故选B。
Ⅱ.完形填空
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了联合国世界文化遗产莫高窟的历史变迁与保护历程。
5.选A 根据后文“Buddhist life”可知,此处需用名词center(中心)。
6.选B 根据前文abandoned(被遗弃)可知,莫高窟在清末不仅被遗弃,还几乎被“遗忘(forgotten)”。
7.选A 根据前文“abandoned and nearly”可知,无人维护的洞窟会因自然因素(the elements),如风雨受到“破坏(damaged)”。
8.选D 根据后文“a library of thousands of ancient documents”(数千件古代文献库)可知,此处指这一文献库的“发现(discovery)”,才让洞窟重新受到研究者关注。
9.选C 根据后文“tens of thousands of items ...being taken to foreign museums”(数万件文物被带往外国博物馆)可知,这是负面结果,需用“Unfortunately(不幸的是)”。
10.选B 根据前文“Copies of some of the artwork ...helped people”可知,艺术家的画作复制品帮助全国人民“了解”敦煌(此前敦煌鲜为人知)。learn about“了解”,符合“通过复制品认识未知事物”的语义。
11.选A 根据后文“it began to influence their painting styles”可知,洞窟艺术品“启发”艺术家,进一步影响其风格。inspired“受启发的”,符合逻辑。confused“困惑的”、disappointed“失望的”、surprised“惊讶的”,均无法衔接“影响风格”的结果。
12.选C 根据后文“Chang Shuhong stayed for the rest of his life”(常书鸿余生都停留在此)可知,此处指一部分人在沙漠中“停留(stayed)”了更久。
13.选D 根据后文“the cultural treasures and protect them”(文化瑰宝并保护它们)可知,常书鸿的行为应是“记录(record)”文物(便于保护和研究)。
14.选B 根据前文“Chang Shuhong stayed for the rest of his life ...protect them”可知,敦煌研究院的成立是他们“努力(efforts)”的结果。
15.选D 根据后文“a UNESCO World Heritage Site”(联合国教科文组织世界遗产)可知,此处指官方“命名”莫高窟为世界遗产。“be named+头衔/称号”是固定搭配,意为“被命名为”。
16.选C 根据后文“access is now ... protect the artwork”可知,此处存在转折逻辑——洞窟“对公众开放(open)”,但为保护文物限制进入。
17.选D 根据后文“in order to protect the artwork”(为保护艺术品)可知,准入需被“限制”(避免游客过多破坏文物)。limit“限制”,符合保护目的。
18.选B 根据前文“the caves can be seen online”(洞窟可在网上观看)可知,网上观看的形式是“数字形式”。in digital form“以数字形式”,与“online”衔接。in person“亲自”、in time“及时”、in public“公开地”,均与“线上观看”的语境无关。
19.选A 根据前文“Despite its remoteness”(尽管位置偏僻)可知,转折关系提示莫高窟依然“继续(continue)”吸引着游客。
