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()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 高二英语试题第4页，共8页 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." 29.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?

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 D For years,doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive.These transfusions (usually include giving red blood cells to patients. Blood transfusions aren't as simple as taking blood from one person and giving it to someone else.There're several different blood types that don't all mix well.If someone gets a transfusion of the wrong kind of blood,their body will reject the blood cells,causing problems.For the first time ever,scientists from the University of Bristol,Britain,are carrying out a new trail:testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells (from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells. This could be even better than a regular blood transfusion.For one thing,they can be adjusted for people with different blood types.That'll be extremely helpful for people with rare blood types.Also,a normal transfusion has red blood cells of all different ages,which means only a small part of them are brand new.The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new,and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions. To test its safety,researchers have given a couple of teaspoons of the blood to two healthy people,both of whom seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions.In all, they'll be tested on 10 people,and compared to normal transfusions.The new process doesn't indicate that normal blood transfusions will disappear.Meanwhile,growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive.And a lot of work and testing still need to be done.But if it's successful,the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions-even those with rare blood types. 32.What is special about the red blood cells in the experiment? A.They're given by those with rare blood types. B.They're collected from seriously ill patients. 高二英语试题第5页，共8页 C.They're specifically for a single blood type D.They've never existed in any human bodies 33.What is the disadvantage of normal blood transfusion? A.Blood reserves are often inadequate. B.It often takes the patient a lot of time. C.Most normal blood cells don't live long.I D.It's unfit for those with rare blood types. 34.What can be inferred about the new process of red blood cells? A.It will have a long way to go. B.It'll replace normal transfusions. C.It will separate rare blood types. D.It'll reduce blood research costs. 35.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A.Blood Transfusions Get Easier B.Scientists Test Lab-created Blood C.Rare Blood Cells Need Donating D.Rare Blood Types Are Not Rare 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Most of the students have a tendency to believe that their brain is not suited for a few subjects that they are uncomfortable with.36 However,because math is one of the most crucial subjects in any competitive exam,having a firm grasp on the subject is essential for moving forward with confidence.Here are some useful suggestions to help you overcome your fear of math. 37 Simply memorizing formulae (without understanding the fundamentals will make things difficult for you.Try to understand the theory and logic behind the formula; once the concept is clear,you don't have to make additional efforts to remember the formula.
