【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章通过Ying H的故事，展示了她如何通过旅行和自我探索重新发现自己的文化根源，并将其转化为一项有意义的事业。
【36题详解】
考查连接代词。句意：当艺术爱好者Ying H年满30岁时，她辞去了工作，开始环游世界，重新寻找那些能让她真正快乐的东西。空格处引导名词性从句，作动词rediscver的宾语，从句中缺少主语，且意义为“……的事物”，所以应该用连词代词what引导从句。故填what。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：在这段自我探索的时期里，Ying重新与她一生中大多时间都忽视了的中国文化传统建立了联系。根据句意和空格后的名词短语this time f self-explratin可知，空格处应该填入一个介词，且意义为“在……期间”，所以用介词during。故填During。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这启发了她创办自己的网店Yingifts的灵感，该店展示的是中国艺术家的传统丝绸刺绣作品。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，对先行词nline stre Yingifts进行限定说明，从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词which代替先行词在从句中作主语。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：那些双面的刺绣作品两面都有相同的图案，这是一种需要极高技艺和耐心的技术。根据空格后的单数名词technique可知，空格处应该用不定冠词表示“一”，technique的发音是辅音音素开头，所以用a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：“我在中国长大，但小时候从未真正欣赏过中国的传统文化，”Ying解释说。空格处是谓语动词，描述过去发生的事，应该用一般过去时。故填grew。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，在她开始改变自己生活后，Ying看到了一个机会，可以分享她传统的文化之美。名词pprtunity后面应该用不定式形式作定语。故填t share。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意：她联系了中国各地从事传统丝绸刺绣的艺术家们，并询问她是否可以通过她在加拿大的商店展示他们的杰出作品。空格后的asked与上文的cntacted是并列谓语动词，应该用and连词。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：其中一位名叫Yingling Ya的艺术家，今年95岁，她从5岁起就开始练习双面刺绣。“One f the+名词复数”是固定搭配。故填artists。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Ying希望通过推广这种传统而精湛的艺术之美，能够帮助防止它失传。根据空格前的介词by可知，空格处应该用动名词prmting作宾语。故填prmting。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：如果你想购买这些非凡的刺绣作品，可以访问Yingift’s Etsy shp。根据句意和空格后的名词短语embridery pieces可知，空格处应该用形容词remarkable作定语，修饰后面的名词短语。故填remarkable。
