They were first used in Japan in the 1600s to illustrate books. When readers became more and more interested in the illustrations for their artistic value, publishers 22skilled artists to 23prints which could be sold separately. By the end of the seventeenth century, techniques were developed to produce many copies of a print from the same woodblock, 24this fine art available to the general public. The most famous Japanese woodblock prints were made during the 1700s and 1800s. The styles were unique 25Japan. Scenes from everyday life or the theatre, beautiful women, and landscapes were often the subjects of these prints. The Japanese name ukiyo-e, meaning “pictures from the floating world,” 26used to describe the famous woodblock prints from this era: This 27images of fleeting moments of pleasure, amusement, and entertainment captured by the artists.

(20 points)Questions 31~35 are based on the Passage 1.Passage 1When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. ThenPeople who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them. Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.31.
