For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
4、What can we learn about the exhibition in New York
A. It promoted the sales of artworks.
B. It attracted a large number of visitors.
C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.
D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
5、What does Hill say about Chinese women
A. They are setting the fashion.
B. They start many fashion campaigns.
C. They admire super models.
D. They do business all over the world.
6、What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean
A. learning from B. looking down on
C. working with D. competing against
7、What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
8、Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s
A. Academic. B. Unattractive. C. Inexpensive. D. Confidential.
9、What did street sales mean to newspapers
A. They would be priced higher. B. They would disappear from cities.
C. They could have more readers. D. They could regain public trust.
10、Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at
A. Local politicians. B. Common people.
C. Young publishers. D. Rich businessmen.
11、What can we say about the birth of the penny paper
A. It was a difficult process. B. It was a temporary success.
C. It was a robbery of the poor. D. It was a disaster for printers.
Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.
Here’s how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.
“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, ”Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they’re doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”
12、What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them
A. They fed them. B. They named them.
C. They trained them. D. They measured them.
13、How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment
A. By drawing a circle. B. By touching a screen.
C. By watching videos. D. By mixing two drinks.
14、What did Livingstone’s team find about the monkeys
A. They could perform basic addition.
B. They could understand simple words.
C. They could memorize numbers easily.
D. They could hold their attention for long.
15、In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science.

37、答案：①arrived②before/earlier③its④that/which⑤paintings⑥by⑦is⑧conducted⑨regularly⑩living
解析：①本题考查时态。根据前后文时态可知本文主要时态为一般过去时，空格处为对过去所发生事情的一般陈述，而且 arrive 为非延续性动词，故应用一般过去时。故正确答案为 arrived。
②本题考查副词。结合上下文可知，“我”刚到阳朔的时候细雨蒙蒙，但是相较于几个小时前，当“我”还在香港的家里时，香港雾霾阵阵。空后 I'd been 提示时态为过去完成时，所以 A few hours 和空格处时间表示时间为过去的过去，所以空格处填入 before 或 earlier，表示“在几个小时之前”。本题不可填入 ago，因为 ago 只与一般过去时连用。故正确答案为 before/earlier。
③本题考查形容词性物主代词。根据所给提示词 it 和空后名词短语，可知此处为 “with + 名词短语”的结构，修饰名词短语 choking smog 需用 it 的形容词性物主代词形式 its。故正确答案为 its。
④本题考查定语从句。空格后 “are pictured by artists in so many Chinese ...” 是定语从句用来修饰 the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River，定语从句中缺主语，且先行词指物，空格处填入定语从句引导词 that/which。故正确答案为 that/which。
⑤本题考查名词单复数。括号中提示词 painting 为可数名词，前面用 so many 修饰，应用其复数形式 paintings。故正确答案为 paintings。
⑥本题考查介词。“by + 交通工具”表示交通方式，by car 意为“乘车”，所以这里需要填入介词 by。故正确答案为 by。
⑦本题考查时态。“阳朔很美”是既定事实，用一般现在时，且 Yangshuo 为单数，用 be 动词单数形式 is。故正确答案为 is。
⑧本题主要考查非谓语动词。根据句意，猫途鹰网（TripAdvisor）针对旅行者的一个调查将阳朔列为世界十大目的地之一。分析句子成分可知，句子主语为 study，谓语为 names，主谓结构完整，不缺谓语，所以不能用 be conducted。此处是作 a study of travelers 的后置定语，所给提示词为 conduct，意为“进行；实施”，与 study 构成动宾关系（调查被实施），所以用 conduct 的过去分词形式 conducted。故正确答案为 conducted。
⑨本题考查副词。修饰动词 arranges 需用 regular 的副词形式，加 -ly。故正确答案为 regularly。
⑩本题考查非谓语动词。空格所在的宾语从句主谓结构完整，不需要谓语动词，所以空格处需填入 live 的非谓语形式，作后置定语修饰 people。 people 是动作 live 的发出者，故使用现在分词形式 living 表主动。虽然句意和语法上填 who live 也可以，但 who live 不符合语法填空的规则。故正确答案为 living。
38、答案：
It was Monday morning, and the writing class had just . Everyone was silent, to see who would be called upon to read his her paragraph aloud. Some of us were confident and eager take part in the class activity, others were nervous and anxious. I had done homework but I was shy. I was afraid to speak in front of a group of people.
