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. ”‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇议论文。论述了中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚的影响，并在国际时尚和设计发展中发挥着非常重要的作用。‎ ‎1．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. ‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据“The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences. ”可知，这次展览参观人数创造了纪录。故选B项，展览吸引了大量的参观者。‎ ‎2．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. ‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“‘…Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its 7‎ ‎ movement’”可知，Hill认为中国女性不仅仅是时尚的消费者，她们也是时尚运动的核心。故选A项，她们正在开创时尚。‎ ‎3．What do the underlined words “taking on” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A．Learning from. B．Looking down on. ‎ C．Working with. D．Competing against. ‎ 解析：选D　词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句“‘…beating them hands down in design and sales’”可知，Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu这些人在设计和销售方面毫不费劲地打败了传统时尚大牌。故选D项。‎ ‎4．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 解析：选D　主旨大意题。本文通过Amanda Hill的评论，论述了中国文化、中国艺术、中国设计师等在国际时尚中发挥着非常重要的作用。因此，“中国文化推动着国际时尚的发展潮流”最能概括文章大意。‎ Ⅳ. 完形填空 At my daughter's presentation ceremony, the principal reminded the kids of that nowfamiliar truth: they could have multiple careers in their lifetimes.
