Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
When I was learning calligraphy, my teacher told me a story.
A calligrapher taught handwriting.One of his students who often practised handwriting with old sheets of newspaper complained that he made very little progress though he had learned it with the calligrapher for a long time. His teacher said to him, “Try to use the best paper. Maybe you’ll write better.”
The student did as he was told. It really worked. He made headway not long afterwards and felt curious. He asked his teacher about the reason. The calligrapher answered，“When you used old newspaper to practise handwriting, you would think you were writing a draft. It didn’t matter if you wrote badly as old newspaper was plenty in supply. In that case you wouldn’t pay much attention to it.Now you use the best paper and you’ll treasure it. Each time you write you feel strongly about the rarity of chances and you’ll devote to it with all your heart and soul;
you’ll do the handwriting much more attentively than practising. Of course you’ve made rapid progress.”
Indeed, we spend our ordinary days just as they are worthless “old newspaper”．We don’t care if we scrawl and waste it, thinking that it will come endlessly—the“old newspaper”is inexhaustible. In such a mood we may each day pass by opportunities but fail to catch any of them.
Life is not a military exercise but an actual war in which real weapons are used. In everyday life there’s no chance for us to draft. That’s because what we call “draft” actually is the answer sheet we write that cannot be changed.
Every day of our life is something new. Let us take every day as a sheet of the best paper.
1．The calligrapher in the story told the student to write on the best paper because he thought______.
A．the student would practise more carefully on the best paper B．it was comfortable to write on the best paper
C．the student had enough money to buy the best paper D．the student could write more on the best paper
解析：选A。根据文章第三段老师对学生的回答可知，这个学生刚开始写不好的原因是：用旧报纸练习时，他不认真写；而用好纸他会非常认真地写。所以，A项与原文内容相符。
2．The student didn’t make much progress at first because______. A.he regarded his writing on old newspaper just as a draft[来源:学。科。网]
B．he was too poor to buy better paper to write on C．he didn’t follow his teacher’s advice
D．he was not used to the calligrapher’s teaching manner
解析：选A。根据第三段老师的话和文章最后几段议论的内容可知，这个人将在旧报纸上写字当成打草稿，所以练习不认真，一直没有取得多大的进步。故A项正确。
3．We learn from the passage that________. A．the student finally gave up
B．the student made rapid progress by practising more carefully C．the calligrapher was strict with his students D．old newspaper is not useful 解析：选B。根据第三段前两句话(The student did as he was told. It really worked.)可知这个人按照老师说的话练习后，水平真的有了提高。句中的work意思是“起作用，奏效”，即老师教的方法奏效了，这个人取得了巨大进步。因此选B。[来源:学_科_网Z_X_X_K]
4．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．What teachers say is always true. B．Success calls for attentiveness. C．Handwriting is easy to practise.
D．New things are always better than old ones. 解析：选B。根据故事中那个学生的经历和最后几段的评论可知，成功需要认真和专心，不能三心二意。因此B项符合题意。
B
As the carriers of Chinese traditional culture, the four treasures of the study(writing brush, ink stick, ink slab and paper)are gradually being lost. The four treasures are less practised in art today than the old times. As a branch of culture industry, room for market development is narrow for the four treasures of the study. At present, the writing brush made in Huzhou, Zhejiang，ranking No. 1 among the four treasures, is only produced by 650,000 every year, half of which were exported. The famous Xuan paper is not faring any better. Every year a quarter of the output is sold abroad. Apart from these mentioned above, the backward
methods of production, high waste and cost，disproportion(失调)between value and price, and the lack of succeeding technicians create difficulties for these traditions.
Stuck in such a situation, the declaration of intangible (非物质的)cultural heritage is expected to raise up people’s consciousness on the traditional culture. Official approval is not the point; the point is to carry on and develop the treasures our fathers left on a basis of sincere respect. This task is not only for the few cultural elite, but for all of us—ordinary Chinese people. Being listed in the intangible cultural heritage is in truth not enough, while the widespread use is the only way out.
Setting up special shows for the four treasures of the study in the places of interest during the holidays is a good idea. Tourists can have the opportunity to experience and feel the charm of traditional culture as they visit the sights. The more diversified function of the four treasures, the more marketing opportunities.
Government can give a push for the development of the four treasures. The government in Xuancheng, well known for its paper, took quite a few measures to do so. Now there are more than 400 factories and 10,000 employees working for the development of the four treasures of the study.
