Kites have a long history. They may date back to a long time ago. They were made of bamboo and silk in China. Nobody knows exactly how or when a kite was first flown, but it is said that when a Chinese farmer tied a string to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind, the first kite was born.
Children like flying kites. Kites are made of wood, bamboo, paper or silk. A Chinese philosopher(思想家), Mozi, spent three years making a kite out of light wood and bamboo. The earliest record of kite flying was in about 200 B. C. when the Chinese general Han Xin of the Han Dynasty flew a kite over the walls of a city. He wanted to know how far his army would have to travel.
In the 13th century, Marco Polo wrote about how the shipping businessmen flew the huge kite in the wind before the ship set sail. They predicted the voyage in this way. If the kite went high and straight, it meant a quick and successful voyage, but if it did not fly well, it was a bad omen(预兆). In the late 1500s, the kite was introduced to Europe by Italians. Kite flying was first mentioned in England in a popular book in 1589.

"Made in China" is having its moment now—and it's a fashionable one.
The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, the two Chinese sports shoe brands, suddenly got international attention. Their products were seen all over the world. A famous Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs—sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters.
Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers' eye by low price. He told CNN, "They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands."
Maybe it is because China's young people are now more confident about their own culture. They don't show immediate interest in Western culture any more.
"Today's young people in China are crazy about Chinese cultural elements (元素)," Jin Qu, the manager of a clothing shopping website, said at a cultural festival in 2018. "They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand picture of Laoganma in China, which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols."
In fact, many stars in the West now are interested in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. Rihanna, a US singer, for example, wore a Chinese red dress to the 2015 Met Gala in New York. The dress was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei.
"We have to move from making to creating," Chinese-American designer Aric Chen once told The New York Times. "We want to replace the words 'Made in China' with 'Designed in China'."
41.The new designs of a famous Chinese sportswear brand in September, 2018 were _______.
A. coats and scarves in Chinese red
B. sweaters and jackets with English words
C. coats and scarves with American symbols
D. sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters
42.The underlined word "They" in Paragraph 5 refers to "_______".
A. today's young people in China
B. the workers in Jin Qu's shop
C. some famous stars in the West
D. directors of some Chinese companies
43.What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Chinese Clothes Brands B. Sports in China
C. Chinese Cultural Festival D. Designed in China
44.Why does the writer use the example of US singer Rihanna in Paragraph 6?
A. To show people in the West are fond of Chinese cultural elements.
B. To prove Rihanna is a fashionable celebrity.
C. To match the fashion theme "China: Through the Looking Glass".
D. To introduce Chinese designer, Guo Pei.
45.The passage above may be taken from a(n) ________.
A. newspaper B. guidebook C. novel D. ad
D

Kites have a long history. They may date back to a long time ago. They were made of bamboo and silk in China. Nobody knows exactly how or when a kite was first flown, but it is said that when a Chinese farmer tied a string to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind, the first kite was born.
Children like flying kites. Kites are made of wood, bamboo, paper or silk. A Chinese philosopher(思想家), Mozi, spent three years making a kite out of light wood and bamboo. The earliest record of kite flying was in about 200 B. C. when the Chinese general Han Xin of the Han Dynasty flew a kite over the walls of a city. He wanted to know how far his army would have to travel.
In the 13th century, Marco Polo wrote about how the shipping businessmen flew the huge kite in the wind before the ship set sail. They predicted the voyage in this way. If the kite went high and straight, it meant a quick and successful voyage, but if it did not fly well, it was a bad omen(预兆). In the late 1500s, the kite was introduced to Europe by Italians. Kite flying was first mentioned in England in a popular book in 1589.

"Made in China" is having its moment now—and it's a fashionable one.
The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, the two Chinese sports shoe brands, suddenly got international attention. Their products were seen all over the world. A famous Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs—sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters.
Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers' eye by low price. He told CNN, "They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands."
Maybe it is because China's young people are now more confident about their own culture. They don't show immediate interest in Western culture any more.
"Today's young people in China are crazy about Chinese cultural elements (元素)," Jin Qu, the manager of a clothing shopping website, said at a cultural festival in 2018. "They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand picture of Laoganma in China, which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols."
In fact, many stars in the West now are interested in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. Rihanna, a US singer, for example, wore a Chinese red dress to the 2015 Met Gala in New York. The dress was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei.
"We have to move from making to creating," Chinese-American designer Aric Chen once told The New York Times. "We want to replace the words 'Made in China' with 'Designed in China'."
41.The new designs of a famous Chinese sportswear brand in September, 2018 were _______.
A. coats and scarves in Chinese red

42.The underlined word "They" in Paragraph 5 refers to "_______".
A. today's young people in China
B. the workers in Jin Qu's shop
C. some famous stars in the West
D. directors of some Chinese companies
43.What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Chinese Clothes Brands B. Sports in China
C. Chinese Cultural Festival D. Designed in China
44.Why does the writer use the example of US singer Rihanna in Paragraph 6?
A. To show people in the West are fond of Chinese cultural elements.
B. To prove Rihanna is a fashionable celebrity.
C. To match the fashion theme "China: Through the Looking Glass".
D. To introduce Chinese designer, Guo Pei.
