B
[湖南长沙长郡中学期中]At 30, Li Yangyang never imagined that her degree in international business would lead to a career in ancient book restoration.
In 2017, after graduating from college, Li was exploring different job opportunities. One day, she saw a cultural technology company looking for ancient book restorers. The company offered training for people without experience. Curious, she sent her application and got the job.
Restoring ancient books is more difficult than it looks. A typical project has more than 20 steps, such as taking photos for records, preparing paper, taking apart books, cleaning, binding(装订) and more. Depending on the damage, Li may restore 30 pages a day—or just one or two.
“Book bricks” is the nickname restorers give to books that have become hard like bricks. Some are so damp that pages stick together, and even the first step—flattening the pages—can take a whole day. One wrong move could tear the page. Aesthetics(美学) are also important. Restoration isn’t just about “fixing” the book. The page margins(页边距) and backing paper colour must match the original.
Li said that beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. “Before starting a restoration, you must ask yourself: can my skills handle this? If not, it’s better to seek help from an experienced restorer rather than risk making things worse,” she said. “Over-restoration can be more damaging than leaving the book untouched.” She also warns against working while upset. She once nearly damaged a book out of frustration.
With China placing more value on cultural heritage, ancient book restoration is now growing fast. In October 2024, Li opened her own studio and now accepts orders from both groups and individuals. Since February, she’s shared videos on RedNote and Douyin to promote this work. “I hope ancient books can become a more common part of everyday life, so more people can experience them,” Li said.
(D) 1. What initially inspired Li to pursue ancient book restoration?
A. Her passion for cultural heritage protection.
B. Her determination to challenge herself.
C. Her desire to apply her college major.
D. Her curiosity about the job posting.
(B) 2. According to the article, what is a major challenge in restoring “book bricks”?
A. Matching the original paper colour.
B. Safely separating stuck-together pages.
C. Using historical binding techniques correctly.
D. Drying the damp paper naturally and slowly.
(A) 3. What key advice does Li give to new restorers?
A. Evaluate their restoration ability before starting.
B. Take on diverse projects to build skills quickly.
C. Continue working even while in a bad mood.
D. Always ask experienced restorers for help.
(A) 4. Why does Li share restoration videos on social media?
A. To bring ancient books into everyday life.
B. To teach the public basic restoration skills.
C. To promote her studio’s restoration services.
D. To show the challenges of restoration work.
