1.However 考查副词。上文提到新年结束后木版画被扔掉,下文提到制作这些木版画要花费这些艺术家一年的时间,上下文是转折关系,故填However。
2.whom 考查定语从句。定语从句的先行词为the artists,指人,故介词of后接关系代词whom。
3.among 考查介词。杨洛书是那些艺术家中的一位,故使用介词among。
4.a 考查冠词。此处表示泛指,故使用不定冠词a。
5.appeared 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语in the Ming Dynasty可确定此处使用一般过去时。
6.representatives 考查名词的数。根据数词three可确定使用名词representative的复数形式。
