The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics.But Masters in the Forbidden City(《我在故宫修文物》) does not just focus on the stories of the past.Instead,the documentary movie,which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec.16,focuses on ordinary people —the restorers(修复者) of relics and antiquities(古董).

The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace,reflecting the restorers’ work.Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming,and sometimes boring.Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.

“If you choose this job,you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair.You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin,an ancient clock repair expert.

A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship(工艺) in the restorers.“Years of humdrum work requires not only skill,but also faith and spirit,”China Daily commented,“Looking for preciseness(精确) and perfection,devoting yourself to work,patience,endurance(忍耐),loneliness...all these qualities come from the craftsman spirit.”

But unlike the popular idea of stuffy(古板的) experts who sit around being serious,the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers.They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.

One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday.While she is doing this,a narrator says,“The last person to do this was Puyi,the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”

Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers,allowing them to realise that they are not old,dull professors,but people in their 40s,30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了纪录片《我在故宫修文物》所反映出的中国古董修复师的工匠精神。

4.What’s the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City?

A.To show people how antiques are restored.

B.To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people.

C.To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers’ lives.

D.To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers.

答案C

解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Instead,the documentary movie,which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec.16,focuses on ordinary people — the restorers of relics and antiquities”可知,纪录片《我在故宫修文物》的主要目的是让人们关注中国古董修复师的生活。

5.According to Wang Jin,we can learn that 　　　. 

A.he often gets tired of his work

B.there is no need to do restoration work fast

C.antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful

D.it takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration

答案C

解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.(然而,在一个一切都在快速变化的社会中,这些修复师的耐心和内心的平静是特别宝贵的)”可知,随后王津的话就是解释这一点,在他看来,古董修复师需要耐心和平和。

6.What does the underlined word “humdrum” probably mean?

A.Boring. B.Different.

C.Relaxing. D.Unusual.

答案A

解析词义猜测题。上文王津说如果你选择了古董修复师这份工作,你必须在椅子上坐好几个小时,你需要安静,习惯安静,这是很单调的。再根据画线词后的“work requires not only skill,but also faith and spirit”可知,多年单调的工作不仅需要技巧,而且需要信念和精神,由此可知画线词词义为“单调的”。

7.The bicycle-riding scene in the documentary is used to 　　　. 

A.remind the audience of the last Qing emperor

B.show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers

C.encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future

D.show that the documentary breaks from the old,dull image of antique restorers

答案D

解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“allowing them to realise that they are not old,dull professors”可知,这部纪录片里骑自行车的场景被用来展示这部纪录片打破了古董修复师衰老、沉闷的形象。
