This revival isn’t just about looking cool; it’s a way for teens to express themselves. Fashion is more than just clothes. According to experts, what we wear helps us build confidence and show our personalities. The 90s trend also teaches students about sustainability. Many teens buy secondhand clothing from thrift stores, which reduces waste and saves money. For example, a vintage denim jacket can look just as stylish as a new one but costs much less. Fashion trends change fast, but some styles last. The return of 90s fashion shows that good design never goes out of date. Whether you prefer bright windbreakers or baggy jeans, the most important thing is to wear what makes you feel comfortable and happy. 【中文翻译】 《90 年代时尚：重回潮流》 如今走进任何一所中学的走廊，你都会看到学生们穿着牛仔夹克、贴颈短链和发圈 —— 这些都是 20 世纪 90 年代流行的时尚趋势！这次复古热潮不仅仅是为了扮酷；这是青少年表达自我的一种方式。 时尚不仅仅是衣服。专家表示，我们的穿着有助于建立自信并展现个性。90 年代潮流还教会学生们可持续发展的理念。许多青少年从二手商店购买旧衣物，这既减少了浪费，又节省了金钱。例如，一件复古牛仔夹克看起来可能和新的一样时髦，但价格要便宜得多。 时尚潮流变化很快，但有些风格经久不衰。90 年代时尚的回归表明，好的设计永远不会过时。无论你喜欢亮色风衣还是宽松牛仔裤，最重要的是穿让你感到舒适和快乐的衣服。 【长难句分析】 1.原句：Walk through any middle school hallway today, and you’ll see students wearing denim jackets, chokers, and scrunchies—all popular fashion trends from the 1990s! 结构解析：前半句是祈使句，后半句用 “and” 连接表示结果；“wearing...” 是现在分词短语作后置定语修饰 students；破折号后 “all...” 是同位语，解释前面提到的衣物。 译文：如今走进任何一所中学的走廊，你都会看到学生们穿着牛仔夹克、贴颈短链和发圈 —— 这些都是 20 世纪 90 年代流行的时尚趋势！ 2.原句：Many teens buy secondhand clothing from thrift stores, which reduces waste and saves money. 结构解析：“which” 引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子的内容；从句中 “reduces” 和 “saves” 是并列谓语。 译文：许多青少年从二手商店购买旧衣物，这既减少了浪费，又节省了金钱。 【重难词汇梳理】 词汇 词性 汉语翻译 denim n. 牛仔布； 牛仔夹克 choker n. 贴颈短链 scrunchie n. 发圈（布艺） revival n. 复兴；复古 sustainability n. 可持续性 secondhand adj. 二手的 thrift store n. 二手商店 vintage adj. 复古的；老式的 baggy adj. 宽松的 out of date 短语 过时的 Passage 1实战演练 This year, the Carnival (狂欢节) of Venice fell from February 4, 2025 to February 21, 2025.

He will be there for two days. 3 Sarah wants to ask for a job in a big company. She would like to dress formally. 4 Mike is going to a museum.

Passage 3 Once, fashion was all about shoes that were well-designed and nice-looking, with cool young people having many high heels. But lately, things have changed. Shoes that were once thought “ugly”, like Crocs and Birkenstocks, are now popular for everyday wear among the youth. So, why do people love these “ugly” shoes? One of the reasons is how comfortable they are. Birkenstocks, for example, are special because they have flexible (柔韧的) footbeds. After people wear the shoes for a while, the footbeds slowly change to fit their feet. The choice is also about self-expression. Take Crocs for example: Their thick bottoms and holes might seem strange, but when you add colorful small things to them, they become a fun and special way to stand out. Carolyn Mair, a professor, said, “Our brains are often attracted to the unusual over the simple. That’s why people are easily attracted to something new and strange.” So, in addition to the comfort value of these shoes, perhaps it is the wish for attention that influences wearers. Young people’s love for “ugly” shoes is not about saying no to beauty, but it’s about going against old fashion rules. By mixing comfort, creativity and even humor (幽默), they’re changing what “cool” means. 1．What do the underlined words “high heels” mean?​ A．Comfortable sports shoes. B．Colorful summer skirts. C．Beautiful long dresses. D．Shoes with high parts at the back. 2．Why are Birkenstocks popular? A．They are cheap and people can always buy new ones. B．They are decorated with colorful designs. C．Their footbeds can change to fit people’s feet. D．They have thick bottoms and many small holes. 3．According to Carolyn Mair, what might encourage people to wear “ugly” shoes? A．Hoping to look perfect. B．Wanting to get attention. C．Disliking traditional shoe design. D．Considering them as more fashionable. 4．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) toward young people’s love for “ugly” shoes? A．He thinks it is a good change. B．He thinks it is a bad choice. C．He feels worried about it. D．He has no idea about it. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．“Ugly” Shoes: A New Fashion for Youth B．Birkenstocks: The Most Comfortable Shoes C．Fashion Rules That Can Never Be Broken D．How to Make Crocs More Beautiful Passage 4 Clothes then and now Today, clothes are made in many different colours. They are also made from many different 1 like wools, cotton, linen and silk. Most people own lots of clothes. Each day, they choose what to wear. Clothes Clothes cover our bodies and protect us from the weather. They can also make us feel good about the way we look. Sometimes, our clothes tell other people 2 about us, such as the work we do or what religion (宗教) we are. People have been wearing clothes for many thousands of years, but the clothes people wore long ago were different from the clothes people wear today. Fashion Fashion means the kinds of clothes that are popular at one time. Ancient Romans wore dresses. Some Romans wore togas (宽外袍)  to special events. Long ago, women in some countries wore corsets under their dresses. Corsets were pulled in tight and tied at the back, so they weren’t 3 to wear. Women wore corsets to make their waists (腰) look smaller. Fashion 4 . It can be different from place to place. However, most people today wear simple clothes that are easy to put on and care for. Clothes need to be 5 for the climate a person lives in, too. Uniforms People have worn uniforms for thousands of years. Uniforms show the work people do, or what school they go to, or what team or group they belong to. Most uniforms today are suitable. Some uniforms 6 help to protect people from danger. Clothes in the past and the future You can learn more about the clothes people used to wear by looking at old paintings and old photos. What clothes will people wear in the future?

Hu Sheguang, known for his creative designs and amazing shows, presented 100 fancy qipao dresses at the CP Center in Beijing during the 2024 AW Beijing Fashion Week. Lots of models, all in high heels (高跟鞋), walked down the runway to show Hu’s qipao designs. There are four different styles: Flowery Woman, French-style Elegance, Rock ‘n’ Roll and Neo-Chinese Style. These new designs changed how people viewed the traditional Chinese dress that had been around for a century and gave a new look to the old-fashioned Chinese dress. Qipao first appeared in the 1920s as a loose (宽松的) dress like the one-piece gowns that men wore and then became popular among young women. About ten years later, the dress was changed to fit women’s bodies better, making it necessary among fashionable women, especially in Shanghai, which was considered the fashion capital of China. In the 1940s, qipao became more form-fitting with a high collar (衣领) and tight sleeves (衣袖). By the 1950s, it had become a symbol of elegance (优雅). Today, many women in China still wear qipao for formal occasions. Traditional qipao dresses are usually made of silk, which can be expensive. However, Hu’s designs used different materials, including cotton, linen and leather, to make sure that more women could buy qipao. Hu also made a change to the dress’s buttons (纽扣). To make qipao convenient (方便的) to wear, he used zippers (拉链) in his designs. “Chinese qipao is usually custom-made to show the wearer’s individuality (个性). Qipao is also so inclusive (包容开放的) that it can be worn for various events, allowing every woman to be fashionable,” Hu said. 1．Did Hu’s qipao designs change how people viewed the traditional Chinese dress? 2．When did qipao become more form-fitting with a high collar and tight sleeves? 3．What materials did Hu’s qipao designs use to make sure that more women could buy qipao? 4．Why did Hu used zippers in his qipao designs? 5．What do you think of qipao? Passage 6 Have you heard of the horse-face skirt? The skirt has many crossed layers (交叉层), making it look nice. This Chinese skirt started in the Song Dynasty and 1 (see) in the Ming and Qing quite often. In 2022, French fashion brand (品牌) Dior copied the design of the skirt. Many hanfu lovers began to introduce the knowledge 2 the skirt. This helped more people learn about the traditional (传统的) Chinese clothes. “For us, 3 (wear) the skirt is not just for fashion,” said Mao, one of the hanfu lovers. “It also shows our love for Chinese culture.” Mao said 4 (proud). Recently, people 5 (pay) more attention to the skirt. Many Chinese famous people have worn it to international events. And during the past spring festival, lots of young people wore the skirt 6 they went on trips. People in other countries like this skirt, too. Chinese clothing 7 (company) have got a lot of orders for it from abroad. A report studied how popular the skirt was among foreign TikTok users. 8 report found that last year users from more than 90 countries and areas shared content about the skirt! This is a good example of Chinese culture going to the world. And it is also a good way 9 (introduce) Chinese culture. “New Chinese-style clothes” is also a hot topic. These clothes add traditional Chinese culture to modern designs. They have won the hearts of many people. All these show that we are becoming much more confident in 10 (we) own culture. 2 / 14 1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 Fashion 人与社会：时尚 话题阅读精练 版块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 90s Fashion: Back in Style 阅读理解 说明文 约 180 介绍 90 年代时尚重回潮流，青少年穿复古服饰表达自我、践行可持续理念，说明好的设计永不过时 模拟演练 Passage1 语法选择 记叙文 约 160 讲述 2025 年威尼斯狂欢节首次出现汉服展示，吸引中意青年，还呈现古筝、书法等中国文化活动 Passage2 阅读理解 应用文 约 150 根据五人不同出行场景（海滩派对、徒步、求职、逛博物馆、参加婚礼）匹配对应的着装建议 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 约 220 分析曾被认为 “丑” 的鞋子（洞洞鞋、勃肯鞋）受年轻人欢迎的原因，包括舒适、自我表达、追求关注，重新定义时尚 Passage4 完形填空 说明文 约 200 从衣物材质、时尚变迁、制服作用、古今对比等方面介绍服装的相关知识与发展 Passage5 任务型阅读 说明文 约 230 介绍胡社光在时装周展示新式旗袍，讲述旗袍发展历史，以及其设计创新与文化内涵 Passage6 短文填空 记叙文+说明文 约 210 介绍马面裙的历史、文化意义，讲述其走红国内外，体现中国文化自信与新中式服饰热潮 时文阅读 90s Fashion: Back in Style Walk through any middle school hallway today, and you’ll see students wearing denim jackets, chokers, and scrunchies—all popular fashion trends from the 1990s!

But lately, things have changed. Shoes that were once thought “ugly”, like Crocs and Birkenstocks, are now popular for everyday wear among the youth. So, why do people love these “ugly” shoes? One of the reasons is how comfortable they are. Birkenstocks, for example, are special because they have flexible (柔韧的) footbeds.

Take Crocs for example: Their thick bottoms and holes might seem strange, but when you add colorful small things to them, they become a fun and special way to stand out. Carolyn Mair, a professor, said, “Our brains are often attracted to the unusual over the simple. That’s why people are easily attracted to something new and strange.” So, in addition to the comfort value of these shoes, perhaps it is the wish for attention that influences wearers.
