三、阅读理解
When Xiong Chuanfa，34， blows a life-like tiger out of sugar in just minutes， kids look at him in surprise thinking he is a magician(魔术师).
Xiong has been blowing sugar figurines(吹糖人) for over twenty years. Blowing sugar figurines is a Chinese traditional folk art with a history of over 600 years and has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产). Every morning， Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to start his magic show.
He heats the sugar， pulls out a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes—a rabbit， a monkey， and even Bing Dwen Dwen， the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
People， especially little kids， are interested in his skills. Many college students have been drawn to the art， waiting in line for hands-on experience. Among them， Simon， a foreign student， couldn’t help having a try. Though it looked easy， he found it hard to make it. Thanks to Xiong’s help， Simon finally saw a horse slowly taking shape. Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. “I just can’t believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. Chinese culture should be spread around the world，” he said.
This art has been passed down for four generations in Xiong’s family. His 6-year-old son often blows sugar balloons， just like what he used to do as a child.
“We will pass on the intangible heritage，” said Xiong.

答案： 1. B
2. B
3. C
4. D
解析：1. 由第一段第一句“Xiong Chuanfa，34”可知，他34岁，选B。2. 第二段明确提到“Blowing sugar figurines... with a history of over 600 years”，B项正确；A项“Only children”错误，文中提到“Many college students”；C项“five generations”错误，文中是“four generations”；D项步骤顺序错误，应为先加热糖，再拉一点做球，然后吹，而非“pulling off some sugar， heating it”。3. Simon说“Chinese culture should be spread around the world”，可推断他会更多了解中国文化，选C。4. 文章介绍传统民间艺术，最可能来自杂志，选D。
