21、Zhao Yishen, the 33-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.”

【1】Hong long has Zhao Yishen carved woodblocks?

A．For 5 years.

B．For 6 years.

C．For 7 years.

D．For 10 years.

【2】The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refers to _______.

A．woodblock

B．character

C．chisel

D．ink

【3】Which is NOT the key to his success?

A．Patience.

B．The knowledge of law.

C．Hard work.

D．Years of practice.

【4】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. Zhao learned block printing from Chen Yishi,one of the technique's masters.

A．b-e-a-d-c

B．b-e-d-a-c

C．d-b-e-a-c

D．d-b-a-e-c

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Works of Zhao Yishen.

B．History of woodblocks.

C．Zhao Yishen and his job.

D．A traditional skill--Woodblock.

22、Manners at table

The customs(习惯)in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host(主人), he will put more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts(使不安)me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I do not want to, because it is considered(认为)bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he often refuses the offer of food or drink though he’s in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again until he accepts your offer.

Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is served with beer(啤酒)by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some juice(果汁)if you have.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States to deal with us, you’d better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

【1】From this passage we can see that the writer is ________.

A．a Chinese

B．a Roman

C．an American

D．a European

【2】When a Chinese host kept putting more food onto the writer’s plate, the writer felt ________.

A．happy

B．sad

C．angry

D．uneasy

【3】In America, people consider it bad manners ________.

A．to refuse an offer

B．to ask for something directly

C．to eat much at a dinner party

D．to keep asking someone to accept something

【4】A guest at an American’s dinner party should show his politeness by ________.

A．not eating up all the food offered

B．asking for more food onto his plate as soon as he emptied it

C．refusing the offer of food or drink though he is still hungry or thirsty

D．asking for things directly if he wants them

【5】“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” means “________.”

A．the Romans are people of good manners

B．Americans always do the same things as the Romans do

C．you should do things like Romans do

D．you should get used to the local customs where you go

23、When you feel sad, tears will come down from your eyes. When you are happy, especially when you laugh hard, tears will also come down from your eyes. But tears have a more important job than showing your feelings.

Tears keep your eyes clean and healthy. They wash away dirt and germs(细菌) just like bath. Your eyes also need tears to keep them wet. And eyes must be wet so that they can move smoothly. Your eyes are busy looking here and there all day long. They move quickly from one thing to another. If you didn’t have tears, your eyes couldn’t move, and soon you would be blind.

Maybe you don’t like tears, but your eyes can’t do without them.
