He lifts it up, and its a sheet of paper. It takes him and his partner only 15 seconds _4_ (form) and shape it, but theyve devoted _5_
30、(them) to perfecting the skills for decades.“There are a lot of tricks of filtering the fibers, and timing is the _6_ (difficult) part of all.

31、in for error is _7_ (extreme) small，” said Zhou. With just the right degree of thickness, top quality Xuan paper holds ink and water tightly.The skill of papermaking，_8_ (recognize) as a national treasure, has also proven to be an international one.

32、as a world intangible culture heritage(非物质文化遗产) by UNESCO in 2009. Since then, in Jingxian County, Xuan papermaking _10_ (teach) in schools.答案与解析本文介绍宣纸的发明经历。2009年，联合国教科文组织将其列为世界非物质文化遗产，我们感到非常自豪。1existence固定词组：come into existence 产生，开始存在，故答案为existence。2by固定搭配：by hand 用手，手工，故答案为by。3which句意：这个过程需要多达108
33、个步骤，所有这些步骤都需要一定程度的精致。此处steps做先行词，指物，后面的定语从句缺少主语，all of which做主语，故答案为which。4to form固定句式：It takes sb. some time to do sth.做某事花费某人多少时间，可知答案为to form。5themselves固定结构：devote oneself to献身于，故答案为themselves。6most difficult根据of all可知此处是形容词最高级，故答案为the most difficult。7. extremely副词修饰形容词，故答案为extremely。8recognized此处是过去分词做后置定语，故答案为recognized。9a句意：2009年，联合国教科文组织将其列为世界非物质文化遗产，我们感到非常自豪。也就是我们有一种自豪感。故答案为a。10has been taught根据Since then是现在完成时态的标志，Xuan papermaking 和teach之间是被动关系，所以句子用现在完成时态的被动语态，故答案为has been taught。
