Ⅳ. 阅读与回答问题(每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
Pei Haozheng is skilled in creating artworks by using paper. In his eyes, a single piece of paper can make a big difference. He can fold(折叠)it into anything, from daily objects to ancient people.
Born in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, Pei started folding paper when he was a little kid, because paper was cheap and easy to get. At first, he learned folding from his friends and parents, and later he copied the style from books. From cranes to planes, he was amazed by the magic world made by paper. Every day, he spent hours folding paper.
In order to improve his folding skills, Pei taught himself through origami(折纸工艺)books. As the number of his works grew, so did the quality. His hard work paid off and then Pei began to create more complex(复杂的)designs. Pei won the International Origami Internet Olympiad in 2017, combining the art with Chinese cultural ideas. For the event’s final task, he folded an ancient Chinese woman holding a mirror from a piece of hand-made xuanzhi, a kind of rice paper. The artwork caught the judges’ eye with its special shape and Eastern style. In September 2022, Pei even set the Guinness World Record for most origami flowers made from a single piece of paper.
Although people might be amazed at the complexity of the designs and skills needed to produce the artworks, Pei is always willing to keep trying new artworks. He said, “I get inspiration(灵感)from Chinese culture and of course, I want to help Chinese culture go global.”
