| 英文原文阅读 |
The techniques of printing were developed in Europe by craftsmen ignorant of these advances in the Far East. As in China, the earliest printing took the form of illustrated sheets printed from carved wooden blocks (known as woodblock printing). These illustrations were largely religious in nature, simple in design, and meant to be coloured by hand, and were made by largely anonymous craftsmen, and very few examples have survived.
The development of printing took a dramatic step forward thanks to the technological advances made by Johan Gutenberg, a Goldsmith working in Mainz, Germany, in the middle of the 15th century. His revolutionary idea was to use metal to cast each letter individually as a piece of ‘type’, so that a number of individual pieces (or letters) would be fitted together to make up a word, sentence, paragraph, and eventually an entire text or book. Once the printing had been finished, the type could be broken up from its settings, and re-used to print another book. This invention of ‘moveable’ (and re-useable) type enabled printing to become a viable economic alternative to making books by hand (known as manuscripts). Gutenberg’s invention produced what is regarded as a landmark in the history of printing, and of western civilisation: an edition of the Bible in Latin, known as the Gutenberg Bible (or sometimes as the 42-line Bible, as each page is made up of 42 lines of type). It was made at his workshop in Mainz between 1453 and 1455, and was certainly complete by 1456. It consists of over 1,300 large pages, in two volumes, and although we do not know exactly how many copies were originally produced, we do know that 180 were offered for sale, and that forty-eight copies survive today, about twenty of them complete. The book was printed with two-colours, black and red, and was produced to an exceptionally high standard, even more so considering the experimental processes which must have been required to achieve any kind of result. |

考试趋势分析和备考指导：
本次雅思阅读考试延续了2013年前两次考试的特点，三篇文章均考到细节配对题。由于这种题型的无序特点，大大增加了考生们的定位难度，因此本次考试虽然没有出现难度较大的heading题，但是难度依然很大。很多考生抱怨“难到逆天”。 2013年后续的雅思阅读考试中，细节配对题将依然占主流，是非无判断居第二位，建议考生们在重点关注细节配对和是非无判断的同时，也关注摘要，选择，标题配对题和送分题的做题技巧。 另外，技巧只能是“锦上添花”，而非“雪中送炭”，因此建议考生们还是把基础打牢，熟悉阅读高频词，并且熟练长句短读的技能，同时利用阅读机经，扩大自己的知识面，这样才能获得理想的成绩。 |
