MASTERS OF TIME
时间的主人
In the quiet courtyards of Xi San Suo, behind the high walls of the Forbidden City, time ticks at its own pace.
在紫禁城高墙后西三所的一处安静的庭院里，时间以自己的节奏滴答作响。
If it hadn't been for a three－episode documentary, outsiders would never have known that the plainly－dressed people working here are masters of their craft, who have spent their lives restoring precious antiques.
如果不是因为一部三集的纪录片，外人永远不会知道，在这里工作的穿着朴素的人是手艺大师，他们花了一生的时间来修复珍贵的古董。
Among these is the clock restoration master, Wang Jin.
其中就有钟表修复大师王津。

Walking through the seven crimson gates towards his workplace, Wang Jin still regards himself as an ordinary worker in the Palace Museum, although now he is often stopped by admirers wanting their photo taken with him.
当王津穿过七扇深红色的大门走向他的工作地点时，他仍然只是把自己当作故宫博物院的一名普通工人，尽管现在他经常被想要和他合影的仰慕者拦住。
Day in, day out, Mr Wang and his students spend their time restoring clocks dating back hundreds of years.
日复一日，王先生和他的学生们把时间花在修复几百年前的时钟上。
But for quite some time, he and his student Qi Haonan used to be the only two people repairing timepieces in the Palace Museum.

词句自测 ⑤crimson adj. 深红色的 ⑥workplace n. 工作场所 ⑦timepiece n. 计时器；钟；表 ⑧“主句(Wang Jin ... Museum)＋让步状语从句(although ... with him)”。主句的结构为“主(Wang Jin)谓(regards)宾(himself)＋宾补(as an ... the Palace Museum)”。Walking ... his workplace是现在分词短语作时间状语。从句中，wanting their photo是现在分词短语作admirers的后置定语。
Qing emperors were very fond of clocks.
清朝皇帝非常喜欢钟表。
Therefore, in order to please them, foreign envoys presented these emperors with the most intricate and splendid timepieces.
因此，为了取悦他们，外国使节送给这些皇帝们最复杂和精美的钟表。
Today, the Palace Museum has one of the most significant collections of timepieces in the world, mainly originating from Europe and China.
今天，故宫是世界上最重要的钟表收藏地之一，其藏品主要来自欧洲和中国。

With objects ranging from small pocket watches to clocks over one metre in height, each of these requires its own unique method of restoration.
小到怀表，大到一米多高的钟表，每一件都需要独特的修复方法。
Given the complexity of the work and the lack of necessary materials, this means that each expert can work on a maximum of two large pieces a year.
鉴于工作的复杂性和必要材料的缺乏，这意味着每个专家每年最多可以修复两个大型钟表。
But, through their painstaking efforts, Mr Wang and his students do more than repair the clocks—they bring them back to life.
但是，通过他们的精心努力，王先生和他的学生们不仅修复了钟表——他们还让这些钟表恢复了生机。

The only sound to break the silence in Wang Jin's workshop is the chiming melody of the repaired and polished clocks.
在王津的工作坊里，唯一打破寂静的声音就是经过修理、打磨的钟表发出的和谐旋律。
To Wang Jin it is the most beautiful music in the world.
对王津来说，这是世界上最悦耳的乐曲。
Now, after eight months of endless adjustments, the time has finally come for Mr Wang to wind up the gigantic clocks that date back to the time of Emperor Qianlong.

It is a truly awe－inspiring moment.
这真的是一个令人敬畏的时刻。
It is suddenly clear that when the clock masters say that “these antiques have lives”， it is neither an exaggeration nor a metaphor.
人们突然明白，当钟表大师们说“这些古董有生命”时，这既不是夸大其词，也不是暗喻。

But, despite the combined work of several generations of masters, it seems unlikely that the restoration of the clocks will ever be complete.
但是，尽管经过一代又一代的大师的共同努力，把钟表完全修复似乎也不太可能。
Even if every clock in the Palace Museum were restored, there would still be work to do, because restoration would probably need to begin again on the clocks that were repaired long ago.
即使故宫里的每一个钟表都修复之后，仍然还有很多工作要做，因为很久以前修过的钟表可能还需要再次修复。
This is a race against time that can never be won!
这是一场与时间的赛跑，而且永远不可能赢！
Nonetheless, Mr Wang remains optimistic about the future of these timepieces.

What's more, inspired to follow in his father's footsteps, Mr Wang's son now has also taken up repairing antique clocks.
更重要的是，王先生的儿子受父亲的激励，追随父亲的脚步，现在也开始从事修复古董钟表的工作。
This new generation of artisans will not only help preserve traditional skills; the innovation they bring to the craft will also ensure that the art of clock repairing stands the test of time.
新一代手艺人将不仅有助于保存传统技能，他们为工艺带来的创新也保证了钟表修复的艺术经得起时间的考验。

Ⅰ　阅读
Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American author and journalist. His unique writing style greatly influenced 20th－century fiction, as did his life of adventure and public image. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Many of his works are classics of American literature. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non－fiction works during his lifetime; a further three novels, four collections of short stories, and three non－fiction works were published posthumously.
Hemingway was born and raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After leaving high school he worked for a few months as a reporter for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to become an ambulance driver during World War Ⅰ， which became the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms.
In 1922 Hemingway married Hadley Richardson, the first of his four wives, and the couple moved to Paris, where he worked as a foreign correspondent. During his time there he met and was influenced by modernist writers and artists of the 1920s expatriate (侨居海外的) community known as the “Lost Generation”. His first novel, The Sun Also Rises, was published in 1926.
After divorcing Hadley Richardson in 1927, Hemingway married Pauline Pfeiffer; they divorced following Hemingway's return from covering the Spanish Civil War, after which he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940, but he left her for Mary Welsh after World War Ⅱ.
Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea in 1952, Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in a plane crash that left him in pain or ill－health for much of the rest of his life.
Hemingway had permanent residences in Key West, Florida, and Cuba during the 1930s and 1940s, but in 1959 he moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he committed suicide in the summer of 1961.

Ⅱ　七选五
Now I live in Paris. Actually, I don't mind the food or the people, but I do care about the land that has an extraordinarily lack of characteristics of hiking. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking, but Paris's natural resources don't hold much potential for my bent. So when my dad asked if I wanted to go hiking with him, I was overjoyed. __1__ It turned out that I was too optimistic.
We started our main hike up Flattop Mountain. As we hiked, it was much more challenging than I expected. __2__ The path was winding and we saw mountains towering over the green valleys and cliffs that seemed endless. What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides. __3__
I stared up at the top to see how much farther we had to go and I began to worry that I wouldn't finish it. __4__ It made me doubtful about my persistence (坚持). But when we looked back at the path that faded in the distance, I was filled with fulfillment with seeing how much we had done.
As I was hiking, I started to reflect on how hiking was similar to other aspects of my life. __5__ It reminded me of my struggles in my classes and the difficulties I had to overcome. I realized that the process of learning isn't always the most fun, but the fulfillment after seeing how much I had finished just increases the thirst for knowledge, causing me to long for more learning. Looking down at the mountain I was content but never fully satisfied. Having considered a lot, I was determined to pursue the summit (山顶)．
A．Hiking could make me fly.
B．Hiking gave time for my mind to wander.
C．I thought I would finish the journey with ease.
D．But I was shocked at the beauty surrounding me.
E．I was satisfied with the landscape along the way.

Hello, everyone. It's nice to speak about the female scientist—Marie Curie.
Madame Curie, a French physics professor, was born in Poland. When she was young, she became interested in physics. Not admitted to universities in Poland, she was determined to go to Sorbonne University and study there. Later, she married Pierre Curie, a very bright scientist, with whom she worked together on the research into radioactive matter. She received the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry, becoming the first scientist in the world to win two Nobel Prizes.
It was Marie Curie that has made contributions to the world and set a good example for us. It's necessary for us to honor her.
Thanks for listening!

Ⅰ　阅读
Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American author and journalist. His unique writing style greatly influenced 20th－century fiction, as did his life of adventure and public image. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Many of his works are classics of American literature. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non－fiction works during his lifetime; a further three novels, four collections of short stories, and three non－fiction works were published posthumously.
Hemingway was born and raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After leaving high school he worked for a few months as a reporter for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to become an ambulance driver during World War Ⅰ， which became the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms.
In 1922 Hemingway married Hadley Richardson, the first of his four wives, and the couple moved to Paris, where he worked as a foreign correspondent. During his time there he met and was influenced by modernist writers and artists of the 1920s expatriate (侨居海外的) community known as the “Lost Generation”. His first novel, The Sun Also Rises, was published in 1926.
After divorcing Hadley Richardson in 1927, Hemingway married Pauline Pfeiffer; they divorced following Hemingway's return from covering the Spanish Civil War, after which he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940, but he left her for Mary Welsh after World War Ⅱ.
Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea in 1952, Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in a plane crash that left him in pain or ill－health for much of the rest of his life.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了美国作家、记者Ernest Miller Hemingway (欧内斯特·米勒尔·海明威)的生平与成就。
Hemingway had permanent residences in Key West, Florida, and Cuba during the 1930s and 1940s, but in 1959 he moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he committed suicide in the summer of 1961.
1．Hemingway's unique writing style has the most influence on ________．
A．his life of adventure
B．his public image
C．20th－century fiction
D．American lifestyle
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“His unique writing style greatly influenced 20th－century fiction”可知，Hemingway独特的写作风格对20世纪的小说影响最大。故选C。
2．The novel A Farewell to Arms is set in ________．
A．Oak Park, Illinois
B．his high school
C．The Kansas City Star
D．the Italian front

3．How are Hemingway's novels introduced to readers in the text

解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，1926年海明威的第一部小说《太阳照常升起》问世，海明威结束对西班牙内战的报道后写了《丧钟为谁而鸣》，1952年出版了《老人与海》。由此可推知，文章按照时间顺序介绍海明威的小说。故选B。
Ⅱ　七选五
Now I live in Paris. Actually, I don't mind the food or the people, but I do care about the land that has an extraordinarily lack of characteristics of hiking. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking, but Paris's natural resources don't hold much potential for my bent. So when my dad asked if I wanted to go hiking with him, I was overjoyed. __1__ It turned out that I was too optimistic.
We started our main hike up Flattop Mountain. As we hiked, it was much more challenging than I expected. __2__ The path was winding and we saw mountains towering over the green valleys and cliffs that seemed endless. What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides. __3__
I stared up at the top to see how much farther we had to go and I began to worry that I wouldn't finish it. __4__ It made me doubtful about my persistence (坚持). But when we looked back at the path that faded in the distance, I was filled with fulfillment with seeing how much we had done.
As I was hiking, I started to reflect on how hiking was similar to other aspects of my life. __5__ It reminded me of my struggles in my classes and the difficulties I had to overcome. I realized that the process of learning isn't always the most fun, but the fulfillment after seeing how much I had finished just increases the thirst for knowledge, causing me to long for more learning. Looking down at the mountain I was content but never fully satisfied. Having considered a lot, I was determined to pursue the summit (山顶)．

[精彩范文]
Hello, everyone. It's nice to speak about the female scientist—Marie Curie.
Madame Curie, a French physics professor, was born in Poland. When she was young, she became interested in physics. Not admitted to universities in Poland, she was determined to go to Sorbonne University and study there. Later, she married Pierre Curie, a very bright scientist, with whom she worked together on the research into radioactive matter. She received the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry, becoming the first scientist in the world to win two Nobel Prizes.
It was Marie Curie that has made contributions to the world and set a good example for us. It's necessary for us to honor her.
Thanks for listening!
