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.

23、The COVID-19 forced students to stay home in the past few months. Online learning became more common. But did students like it?

According to a report by China Youth Daily, Chinese high school students had the most positive attitude (积极的态度) toward online learning compared with those in the US and Japan. A total of 87.1 percent of Chinese students said online learning was “important”, higher than those of any of the other two countries.

However, the report added that students who study online were easily distracted (分心的). Some students always thought how fun it would be if they could play games on computers or mobile phones. Parents in the countryside had to work. They had no time to study with their children. And children had poor self-discipline (自我约束).

Students in all three countries also pointed out several worries, such as damage to their vision (视力), having to depend on the Internet and less independence (独立性) when asked to solve problems on their own.

Luckily, schools across China reopened. There is no need for students to have online classes. They can study at school with their classmates. What’s more, to make students keep healthy, schools will let students have at least two hours of outdoor activities a day, according to the National Health Commission.

【3】Parents in the countryside are busy working.
