33-year-old Jin Ruirui, a deputy(人大代表), wore a traditional Yi costume (服饰) and brought Yi embroidery (彝绣) to last year’s two sessions (两会). Jin is an inheritor (传承人) of the Yi embroidery of Chuxiong, Yunnan Province. She has advised developing the local embroidery industry and helping offer women’s jobs.
Jin was among the first group of college students in her village. But instead of working in big cities, she chose to come back to her hometown to found (创建) her own Yi embroidery company. “My mother raised me with the money she made as an embroiderer. I want to carry on her skills and help more embroiderers like my mother-they might not get much education, but they know well about our local culture.” said Jin.
With the support from the local government and hard work of people like Jin, Yi embroidery has become a growing industry. They train embroiderers and have designers make the embroidery pieces more fashionable. They hold fashion shows to promote (推广) Yi costumes in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai and do business with foreign countries. Jin just got an export (出口) order of 6,500 Yi embroidered costumes to the UK last month.
During the past 10 years, more than 60,000 Yi women in Chuxiong have taken part in the local Yi embroidery industry. Their average (平均的) monthly income (收入) has grown from about 500 yuan to around 3,000 yuan. “Now, even some men have started to work as embroiderers, taking up about 4 percent of the workforce staff (从业人员),” Jin added. “We have made our lives better with our traditional culture and skills.”

①There are many humanistic monuments (人文古迹) and natural scenic spots (景点) in textbooks. Children are always interested in them, and they want to go there in person. That’s why the textbook tour has become popular these days.
②Many families have taken part in the textbook tour. They follow the stories in the textbooks and choose places to travel. Children can understand the cultural background and experience the historical period in the textbooks. They can also learn about the local customs. This makes their journey more colorful.
③The textbook tour is a connection between “reading thousands of books” and “travelling thousands of miles”. Through the practice, children can have a deeper understanding of the textbooks. Besides, the textbook tour also increases children’s pride in the motherland.
④The rise of the textbook tour is a great chance for the connection between culture and tourism. For example, the Wenchuan government holds some activities on the birthday of Dayu. Cultural workers teach “Dayu culture” to tourists in these activities. This spreads local culture and provides an unforgettable experience for tourists. As the textbook tour becomes a new fashion, the government should offer warm services to achieve a win-win situation for both scenic spots and tourists.
1.How do many families go on the textbook tour?
2.List one benefit that children can get from the textbook tour according to Paragraph 3.
3.What should the government do to support the textbook tour?
4.If you have a textbook tour, which place in your textbooks will you visit except Wenchuan? Why? Write 30 words or more.
将传统和现代元素融合的汉服成为时尚新宠
Is there anyone around you wearing a horse-faced skirt? It is a type of hanfu, the traditional style of clothing of the Han people. It is now getting so popular that some people wear it daily.
On March 6, a Douyin report showed that the order for horse-faced skirts went up by 841 percent compared to the past year.
As hanfu becomes popular, traditional and modern fashions (时尚) are coming together. This has influenced not only clothing styles but also people’s cultural ideas.
Some hanfu lovers think that each design (设计) of hanfu has its own cultural meaning. They believe these should be strictly followed. However, other buyers think beauty and comfort (舒适) are more important.
Zhou Shuang, 37, designs character outfits (服装) for film and television. She pointed out that for those who don’t know much about traditional clothing, it’s understandable that they want to mix ancient beauty and modern fashion.
This is known as the neo-Chinese style. “Neo-Chinese style clothing doesn’t only use traditional elements (元素). It puts together modernity (现代) and tradition naturally,” said Zhou. She added that it shows how traditional beauty continues to be valued by Chinese people today.
“I’ve noticed that there are so many people wearing horse-faced skirts on the streets now, from young women to children. It’s unbelievable,” said Wang Zicheng, a 23-year-old hanfu lover.
By MENG WENJIE, 21st Century
Basic Design Elements of Traditional ‘Hanfu’
According to Zhou Shuang, traditional hanfu features three special designs:
Crossed “y” shaped collars (领口)
Loose-fitting clothes and wide sleeves (袖子)
Fastened with ribbons (带子) instead of buttons.
Answer the questions:
1.What is hanfu?
2.What kind of popular hanfu is used as an example in the passage?
3.Write down the two different opinions on the style of hanfu:
*

4.What is the style of neo-Chinese outfits?
5.Would you like to wear hanfu? Why or why not?

Imagine you can have phone calls with your favourite star. Is it exciting? AI humans might help with it. Today, AI humans are popular at home and abroad.
As we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities. But what else can they do? And what can only be done by humans but not AI?
Digital humans today play roles in many ways. They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more. For example, China Daily has its own digital reporter, Yuanxi. She can speak English and cover the wonderful world of Chinese culture. She can process (处理) data fast. This can help the newsroom work faster.
In 2022, a Chinese tech company showed its first digital idol Xi Jiajia. She can change her make-up and how she dresses, and even do webcasts (网络直播)! During China Fashion Week, Xi Jiajia became famous in an online virtual fashion show (虚拟时装秀). “Virtual idols could do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel,” said Liu from the company. Liu took the digital tour guides as an example. They can be in different places and from different times in history.
But AI humans have their disadvantages. Take Yuanxi as an example. She still doesn’t have much touch and EQ like us. These are things that only a real human can have. What’s more, virtual people can’t team up and communicate with others in real time.
As Yuanxi wrote, “Virtual employees show the power of AI but they are not a replacement for traditional human employees.”
1.In what ways can AI humans be like real people?
2.What roles can digital humans play?
3.Who is Xi Jiajia according to Paragraph 4?
4.According to the passage, what could virtual idols do that people cannot do in the real world?
5.What are the things that only real humans have?
6.Will you buy AI humans in the future? Why or why not?

13-year-old Chen Yu lives in Xiushan, Chongqing. Her grandma is a master (行家) of Xiushan Miao Embroidery (苗绣), a traditional craft of the Miao people. Every evening, Yu sees grandma sit by the lamp, stitching (绣) patterns of flowers and birds on cloth with colorful threads (线).
Yu once thought the embroidery was old-fashioned. But last month, her school held a “Chongqing Intangible Cultural Heritage” fair (展会). Grandma took her to the fair and showed her Miao embroidery works—some made into small purses, others into beautiful wall hangings. Many visitors, even foreigners, stopped to take photos and buy them.
That day, grandma told Yu: “This craft has been passed down for hundreds of years. Our ancestors (祖先) put their love for life into every stitch.” Yu felt proud. She asked grandma to teach her. At first, her hands shook, and the threads got tangled (缠在一起的). But she practiced every day after school.
Now, Yu can stitch a small butterfly by herself. She also has a new idea: to draw cartoon patterns and mix them with traditional Miao designs. “I want to help grandma make the old craft popular among kids,” Yu said with a smile.
1.What traditional craft does Chen Yu’s grandma master?
2.Did Chen Yu think Miao embroidery was interesting at first?
3.Why did Chen Yu feel proud after listening to her grandma?
4.How can teenagers help protect traditional crafts like Miao embroidery? (about 30 words)

The Chinese cheongsam, or qipao, is a popular dress. It first appeared in Shanghai in the early 20th century. It is now a symbol of Chinese culture. Women around the world wear it.
The cheongsam fits the body’s curves (曲线) well. People usually use silk and cotton to make it. It usually has a high collar (领), short sleeves (袖), and a cut on the side of the skirt. This makes it easy to move.
At first, rich women in Shanghai wore the cheongsam to show their social positions and wealth. Soon, it became popular with all women as everyday clothing. During the 1920s and 1930s, the cheongsam changed. It became better and used more fashionable designs. Nowadays, designers are creating new styles to follow modern fashion.
Now in China, people often wear the cheongsam at formal (正式的) events like ceremonies, parties and cultural activities. A famous Chinese movie star, Anna Wong, often wears cheongsams in movies and in life. Her style helps make the dress popular in Hollywood and worldwide.
The cheongsam is not only a fashion symbol but also a part of Chinese culture and history. It shows that Chinese people can follow fashion changes over time.

A few days ago, I bought a T-shirt for 300 yuan. Compared to my other clothes, it was much more expensive. When my father found out, he was very angry and questioned if I made the right choice. That made me feel really upset. What should I do?
Justin
Hi Justin,
Try to put yourself in your parents’ shoes. Your parents work hard to make money to bring up the family, so they have the right (权利) to know how you spend money.
When I was young, I knew little about money. Once I asked my parents for a robot car as my birthday gift. When it arrived, I was very excited.
I played with the car the whole day, but then I lost interest in it. Several weeks later, I saw a robot dog on TV and I wanted this new toy again. I already forgot about the robot car.
When you grow up and get a job, you will know how hard it is to make money. Then you’ll understand your dad. In my opinion, this T-shirt is too expensive for you. Instead of spending a lot of money on the latest fashion (最新时尚), you should buy things that will be useful to you in the long term. I think you should spend money wisely.
Alex

2.How did Justin feel?
3.What did Alex ask for his birthday when he was young?
4.According to Alex, when will Justin understand his dad?

Nowadays, we have so many ways of communication. It’s amazing how technology changes the way we communicate. For me, the youngest boy in my family, this helps a lot, especially with my brothers who are away at college.
To keep in touch, we use technology. We can chat (聊天) online whenever we want. I often text them and they always reply when they can. Sometimes, I call them just to hear their voices and we even have video calls to see each other.
But my brothers also encouraged me to try something old-fashioned (老式的): writing letters. They said it was really a great way to practise my writing skills and take the time to share my thoughts. I started writing to them and it has become something I really enjoy. I tell them about my day, my problems and everything on my mind. They always give me good advice in their replies. The more I write, the better I become at expressing myself.
In a word, technology brings us closer, and so does the simple act of writing letters. Now we communicate every day through messages, calls, videos and letters. It’s like we’re never really apart (分开), even though they’re at college and I’m at home. We can share everything that’s happening in our lives, and it feels just like we’re still together.
根据语篇内容,按要求回答问题。
1.Who does the writer keep in touch with through technology?
2.What do the writer and his brothers sometimes do in order to see each other?
3.What does the writer benefit from writing letters according to Paragraph 3?
4.Why does the writer say he and his brothers are never really apart?
5.How do you communicate with your family and why? (不超过15个词)
What is art? This question has confused great thinkers for centuries. In fact, there is disagreement about exactly what art is. Most of us would agree that Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is art, but what about a video game? One dictionary defines art as the creation of objects, images, or music that are beautiful or express certain feelings. This, however, could be regarded as too general a definition.
Art is usually divided into two areas: fine art, such as painting, music and sculpture and applied art (实用美术), such as fashion design, furniture making and gardening. According to Aristotle, fine art is something that has a conceptual function (概念功能). He noted that artists produced objects, drama and music which showed their emotions and ideas rather than just trying to offer a true image of nature. Andy Warhol, the American artist famous for his Pop Art in the 1960s, once said, “An artist produces things that people don’t need to have.” This is the biggest difference between fine and applied art. Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful.
In the twentieth century, however, artists began to challenge the accepted idea of art. The artist Marcel Duchamp changed people’s understanding of what sculpture was by putting a bicycle wheel upside down on a stool (凳子) in 1913 and calling it art. In 2002, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama created an artwork that required the public’s involvement. In this work, visitors were asked to cover a white room that had white furniture and objects in it, with many colourful sticker dots. She once said, “Everything an artist produces is art.”
Today, we can see examples of art all around us which are not expensive. Many towns and cities have public art which can be enjoyed by all. Some museums, like the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, have no entrance fee. Others are free for children and students.
Street art is also popular in different neighbourhoods around the world.
___________ This idea may not work for all art, but perhaps we can agree that it is a goal towards which all artists should work.
1.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
2.What does applied art require according to this passage?
3.When did artists begin to challenge the accepted idea of art?
4.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
5.What does the writer think of art? Please fill in the blanks.
James’ face lights up when he opens a rare Labubu soft toy—pure joy is the only way to describe it. The YouTuber shows off the brown monster, which collectors call “cute, ugly or a bit strange”.
Designed by Artist Kasing Lung and sold by Pop Mart, Labubus are fluffy, uneven-toothed little creatures. They sell out fast online, and long lines form outside stores that stock them. Blind boxes are sold as mystery products (you don’t know which one you’ll get), this mystery makes them more attractive.
________: celebrity support, social media unboxing videos, and their ability to bring back happy old memories. James, a collector, sees Labubu as an investment—he owns 30 toys (costing £25 each) and has spent hundreds on them.
Pop Mart doubled its earnings last year and plans to go global. The company is spoken highly of for its unique designs. Kasing Lung got the idea from European elf (妖精) legends and drawings he made as a kid. “Labubu” has no special meaning—it’s just a fictional (虚构的) elf-like character.
For James, Labubu is more than a toy. “They’re a bit strange but cute. They let young adults feel like they’re back in their childhood,” he said. These soft toys also have a strong connection to the fashion community.Task1
1.How does James feel when he opens the rare Labubu toy?
2.Do collectors only think Labubu toys are cute?
3.Why do blind boxes make Labubu more attractive?
4.What helps Labubu become popular?
5.Fill in the blank to make it logically correct.
Task 2
6.Do you like buying blind boxes? Why or why not? Explain it in your own words (at least 2 reasons).

Long ago, in a village in the Netherlands, lived a hot-tempered princess. She loved running wild in the woods, returning with tangled hair that made her nurse struggle to comb. The king, who adored his daughter, worried she couldn’t be a good ruler without controlling her temper.
One day, the king wandered to an old oak tree he’d saved years before. The rustling leaves seemed to speak, “Make a wooden-barrel skirt for the princess to teach her a lesson.” A grateful bull also told him to use its horn to make a fine comb.
Lightning soon struck the oak, and the bull lay still. The king followed their words—he had the oak made into a skirt and the horn into a comb.
Later, a blue flower named flax (亚麻) grew where the oak fell. Villagers learned to weave flax into soft linen (亚麻布). When the princess became queen, she wore twenty linen skirts instead of the wooden one. The village became famous for its linen, and even centuries later, brides there still wear twenty skirts as a tradition. But one day, a young girl from a neighboring village visited and asked the queen about the wooden skirt. The queen smiled, took out the well-kept wooden skirt, and said, “This is not just a piece of wood. It’s the start of our village’s fashion story. And do you know, this story also has a special secret that connects fashion with kindness?”Task 1: Answer the questions.
1.Why did the king worry about his daughter?
2.What did the oak tree’s leaves tell the king to do?
3.What was the comb made of?
4.What did the villagers weave into linen?
5.What tradition has been kept in the village for centuries?
Task 2: Writing.
6.Based on the passage, write down when the princess wore the wooden skirt and what changes happened to her after wearing it. Write sentences in about 30 words.
The changing clothes: a story of fashion
What we wear every day is more than just clothes. It tells a story about our time, our culture, and even our technology. Fashion in China has changed greatly over the years, showing how people’s lives and ideas have developed.
In ancient times, clothing style in China was stable for centuries. People wore traditional clothes like hanfu. The style, colour, and material of clothes could often tell a person’s social status. For example, bright yellow was often only for the emperor and his family.
In the early 20th century, things began to change quickly. The cheongsam (qipao) became popular for women. It mixed traditional Chinese elements with a more modern, fitted silhouette (剪影) Meanwhile, Western-style suits and dresses started to appear in big cities like Shanghai, showing the beginning of global influence on Chinese fashion.
After the 1980s, with China’s reform and opening-up, young people began to have more choices. They were crazy about new ideas from abroad. Blue jeans, T-shirts, and sunglasses became symbols of being modern and free. People started to use clothes to express their individuality, not just to follow tradition.
In the 21st century, fashion has become highly diverse and fast-paced. Thanks to the Internet and fast fashion brands, trends change very quickly. A style popular in Paris or Seoul can be seen on the streets of Beijing or Chengdu in just a few weeks. Platforms like Xiaohongshu and TikTok allow everyone to be both a fashion follower and a trendsetter.
Today, people are also thinking more about what’s behind the clothes. The ideas of sustainable fashion and “vintage” style are becoming popular. This means people are paying more attention to protecting the environment and appreciating classic styles that last longer than just one season.
Looking into the future, fashion will likely continue to mix technology with personal expression. Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health. One thing is for sure: fashion will keep reflecting who we are and the world we live in.Task 1:
1.What could the clothes tell about a person in ancient China?
2.What happened to fashion after the 1980s in China?
3.What makes fashion trends change so quickly in the 21st century?
4.What are the two popular ideas in fashion today mentioned in the passage?
Task 2:
5.The passage ends by saying: “Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health.” What other innovative features can you imagine for smart clothes? (Use your own words in at least 30 words.)
China is quickly becoming the fashion capital. Thanks to social media and young customers, China prefers to develop its own style, Chinese style. And there have been some achievements for the past few years. There is even a name for it: China-Chic.
Maybe you have heard of it by chance. China-Chic is the result of young people's interests in Chinese culture and things. It's reported that 68 percent of young Chinese, especially those between the ages of 20-25, say they prefer products made in China to those made abroad. They are now prouder of “Chinese style”.
A 25-year-old vlogger (视频博主) named Cai Qian spent 15 days making a golden mask, which is really similar to the ancient mask found at Sanxingdui Ruins site in Sichuan. His video has drawn over 11 million viewers. And later, he recreated another thing from the same 3,000-year-old site. This made him get over 7 million viewers again.
One of the reasons why this is happening is the development of e-commerce (电子商务) and social media, which gives sellers a direct chance to communicate with their customers. Now people can learn about the Chinese styles and buy something which they are interested in easily.
So, what is China-Chic, really? Well, it's bright and colourful. We will see more red and gold in China than in the fashion capitals of London, Paris and New York. And of course, there is the love of beauty which is deeply included in Chinese culture. I think China-Chic will become more and more popular around the world.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
2.Which group plays an important role in the development of China-Chic?
3.How many viewers have Cai Qian's two videos got in total?
4.Why has the 25-year-old vlogger drawn so many viewers?
5.What do you think of China-Chic? (请自拟一句话作答)
Gabrielle Chanel, widely known as Coco Chanel, was a world-famous French fashion designer. She was born in 1883 into a poor family in France. Unfortunately, her mother passed away when she was still a little girl, and she had to move to an orphanage (孤儿院) afterwards. There, the kind nuns taught her the basic skill of sewing patiently. This early sewing training laid a solid foundation for her future career and helped her a great deal in her later life.
When she grew up, Coco Chanel followed her passion for fashion and began to design hats. She sold these carefully designed hats to rich women, and her works soon gained popularity because of their unique style. Later, with her hard work and persistence, she opened her own fashion shops in Paris, the fashion capital of the world. She disliked the heavy, tight, and uncomfortable clothes that women were forced to wear at that time. Instead, she created simple, elegant and loose-fitting clothes, such as the classic little black dress. These innovative clothes made women feel more comfortable and helped them build up confidence in daily life.
Apart from clothing design, Coco Chanel also made remarkable achievements in the perfume field. She launched her iconic perfume, Chanel No. 5, in 1921. Different from the strong-scented perfumes popular at that time, Chanel No. 5 had a fresh and elegant fragrance, which made it quickly become a hit all over the world. Coco Chanel devoted her entire life to the fashion industry; she worked diligently day after day and kept designing new styles until she was 87 years old. Her creative designs completely changed the traditional way women dressed and broke the old-fashioned rules. Even today, her classic works are still popular among fashion lovers around the globe.
1.Where was Coco Chanel born?
2.Who taught Coco Chanel to sew when she was young?
3.What kind of clothes did Coco Chanel create?
4.What famous perfume did Coco Chanel launch?
5.How old was Coco Chanel when she stopped designing?
6.Write a short paragraph about why you admire Coco Chanel. (no more than 30 words)

①There are many humanistic monuments (人文古迹) and natural scenic spots (景点) in textbooks. Children are always interested in them, and they want to go there in person. That’s why the textbook tour has become popular these days.
②Many families have taken part in the textbook tour. They follow the stories in the textbooks and choose places to travel. Children can understand the cultural background and experience the historical period in the textbooks. They can also learn about the local customs. This makes their journey more colorful.
③The textbook tour is a connection between “reading thousands of books” and “travelling thousands of miles”. Through the practice, children can have a deeper understanding of the textbooks. Besides, the textbook tour also increases children’s pride in the motherland.

将传统和现代元素融合的汉服成为时尚新宠
Is there anyone around you wearing a horse-faced skirt? It is a type of hanfu, the traditional style of clothing of the Han people. It is now getting so popular that some people wear it daily.
On March 6, a Douyin report showed that the order for horse-faced skirts went up by 841 percent compared to the past year.
As hanfu becomes popular, traditional and modern fashions (时尚) are coming together. This has influenced not only clothing styles but also people’s cultural ideas.
Some hanfu lovers think that each design (设计) of hanfu has its own cultural meaning. They believe these should be strictly followed. However, other buyers think beauty and comfort (舒适) are more important.
Zhou Shuang, 37, designs character outfits (服装) for film and television. She pointed out that for those who don’t know much about traditional clothing, it’s understandable that they want to mix ancient beauty and modern fashion.
This is known as the neo-Chinese style. “Neo-Chinese style clothing doesn’t only use traditional elements (元素). It puts together modernity (现代) and tradition naturally,” said Zhou. She added that it shows how traditional beauty continues to be valued by Chinese people today.
“I’ve noticed that there are so many people wearing horse-faced skirts on the streets now, from young women to children. It’s unbelievable,” said Wang Zicheng, a 23-year-old hanfu lover.
By MENG WENJIE, 21st Century
Basic Design Elements of Traditional ‘Hanfu’
According to Zhou Shuang, traditional hanfu features three special designs:
Crossed “y” shaped collars (领口)
Loose-fitting clothes and wide sleeves (袖子)
Fastened with ribbons (带子) instead of buttons.
Answer the questions:
1.What is hanfu?
2.What kind of popular hanfu is used as an example in the passage?

Justin
Hi Justin,
Try to put yourself in your parents’ shoes. Your parents work hard to make money to bring up the family, so they have the right (权利) to know how you spend money.
When I was young, I knew little about money. Once I asked my parents for a robot car as my birthday gift. When it arrived, I was very excited.
I played with the car the whole day, but then I lost interest in it. Several weeks later, I saw a robot dog on TV and I wanted this new toy again. I already forgot about the robot car.
When you grow up and get a job, you will know how hard it is to make money. Then you’ll understand your dad. In my opinion, this T-shirt is too expensive for you. Instead of spending a lot of money on the latest fashion (最新时尚), you should buy things that will be useful to you in the long term. I think you should spend money wisely.

Nowadays, we have so many ways of communication. It’s amazing how technology changes the way we communicate. For me, the youngest boy in my family, this helps a lot, especially with my brothers who are away at college.
To keep in touch, we use technology. We can chat (聊天) online whenever we want. I often text them and they always reply when they can. Sometimes, I call them just to hear their voices and we even have video calls to see each other.
But my brothers also encouraged me to try something old-fashioned (老式的): writing letters. They said it was really a great way to practise my writing skills and take the time to share my thoughts. I started writing to them and it has become something I really enjoy. I tell them about my day, my problems and everything on my mind. They always give me good advice in their replies. The more I write, the better I become at expressing myself.
In a word, technology brings us closer, and so does the simple act of writing letters. Now we communicate every day through messages, calls, videos and letters.

What is art? This question has confused great thinkers for centuries. In fact, there is disagreement about exactly what art is. Most of us would agree that Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is art, but what about a video game? One dictionary defines art as the creation of objects, images, or music that are beautiful or express certain feelings. This, however, could be regarded as too general a definition.
Art is usually divided into two areas: fine art, such as painting, music and sculpture and applied art (实用美术), such as fashion design, furniture making and gardening. According to Aristotle, fine art is something that has a conceptual function (概念功能). He noted that artists produced objects, drama and music which showed their emotions and ideas rather than just trying to offer a true image of nature. Andy Warhol, the American artist famous for his Pop Art in the 1960s, once said, “An artist produces things that people don’t need to have.” This is the biggest difference between fine and applied art. Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful.
In the twentieth century, however, artists began to challenge the accepted idea of art. The artist Marcel Duchamp changed people’s understanding of what sculpture was by putting a bicycle wheel upside down on a stool (凳子) in 1913 and calling it art. In 2002, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama created an artwork that required the public’s involvement. In this work, visitors were asked to cover a white room that had white furniture and objects in it, with many colourful sticker dots. She once said, “Everything an artist produces is art.”
Today, we can see examples of art all around us which are not expensive. Many towns and cities have public art which can be enjoyed by all. Some museums, like the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, have no entrance fee. Others are free for children and students.
Street art is also popular in different neighbourhoods around the world.
___________ This idea may not work for all art, but perhaps we can agree that it is a goal towards which all artists should work.
1.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
2.What does applied art require according to this passage?
3.When did artists begin to challenge the accepted idea of art?
4.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
5.What does the writer think of art? Please fill in the blanks.
【答案】1.The two areas of art. 2.Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful. 3.In the twentieth/20th century. 4.The upside-down bicycle wheel on a stool. 5.Art can make our ordinary, everyday lives a little more special.
【导语】本文主要围绕 “艺术是什么” 这一核心问题展开,介绍了艺术的分类、不同时期艺术家对艺术概念的挑战,以及现代艺术的普及形式,最后表达了作者对艺术的看法。
1.第二段开篇即点明艺术通常分为纯艺术和实用美术两大领域,随后分别引用亚里士多德和安迪・沃霍尔的观点,阐述了两者的核心区别。因此答案是对本段核心内容的概括总结。
2.第二段最后一句直接给出原文信息:“Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful”,可直接提取作答。
3.第三段第一句明确指出时间信息:“In the twentieth century, however, artists began to challenge the accepted idea of art”,可直接提取作答。
4.第三段提到马塞尔・杜尚在 1913 年将自行车轮倒放在凳子上,并称之为 “it”。结合上下文,“it” 指代的就是他这件名为《自行车轮》的雕塑作品,即“a bicycle wheel upside down on a stool (the artwork created by Marcel Duchamp)”。
5.本题为开放性试题,需结合文章最后一段的主旨进行概括。文章提到街头艺术在全球流行,且最后一句表明“这是所有艺术家应该努力的目标”,结合前文对艺术普及化、大众化的描述,可总结出作者认为艺术应该是人人可欣赏、贴近生活、包容多元的,或艺术可以使我们平凡的日常生活变得更为特别等合理观点。
James’ face lights up when he opens a rare Labubu soft toy—pure joy is the only way to describe it. The YouTuber shows off the brown monster, which collectors call “cute, ugly or a bit strange”.
Designed by Artist Kasing Lung and sold by Pop Mart, Labubus are fluffy, uneven-toothed little creatures. They sell out fast online, and long lines form outside stores that stock them. Blind boxes are sold as mystery products (you don’t know which one you’ll get), this mystery makes them more attractive.
________: celebrity support, social media unboxing videos, and their ability to bring back happy old memories. James, a collector, sees Labubu as an investment—he owns 30 toys (costing £25 each) and has spent hundreds on them.
Pop Mart doubled its earnings last year and plans to go global. The company is spoken highly of for its unique designs. Kasing Lung got the idea from European elf (妖精) legends and drawings he made as a kid. “Labubu” has no special meaning—it’s just a fictional (虚构的) elf-like character.
For James, Labubu is more than a toy. “They’re a bit strange but cute. They let young adults feel like they’re back in their childhood,” he said. These soft toys also have a strong connection to the fashion community.Task1
1.How does James feel when he opens the rare Labubu toy?
2.Do collectors only think Labubu toys are cute?
3.Why do blind boxes make Labubu more attractive?
4.What helps Labubu become popular?

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了泡泡玛特旗下Labubu玩偶的设计特点、流行原因、商业价值,以及它在收藏者心中的情感意义。
1.根据文章第一段“James’ face lights up when he opens a rare Labubu soft toy—pure joy is the only way to describe it.”可知,James打开稀有Labubu玩偶时,感受是纯粹的喜悦。故填Pure joy.
2.根据文章第一段“which collectors call ‘cute, ugly or a bit strange’”可知,收藏者对Labubu的评价不只是“可爱”,还有“丑”或“有点奇怪”,因此答案是否定的。故填No.
3.根据文章第二段“Blind boxes are sold as mystery products (you don’t know which one you’ll get), this mystery makes them more attractive.”可知,盲盒的吸引力来自于“你不知道会得到哪一个”的神秘感。故填Because you don’t know which one you’ll get.
4.根据文章第三段“celebrity support, social media unboxing videos, and their ability to bring back happy old memories.”可知,名人代言、社交媒体开箱视频,以及它们唤醒美好旧日回忆的能力这三个点就是Labubu流行的原因。故填Celebrity support, social media unboxing videos, and their ability to bring back happy old memories.
5.空白处后列举了Labubu流行的具体原因,因此需要一个总起句引出下文。“There are several reasons for their popularity.”意为“它们的流行有几个原因”符合逻辑。故填There are several reasons for their popularity.
6.开放性作答,结合实际,言之有理即可。参考答案为:Yes, I like buying blind boxes. Because it’s full of surprises and can bring me a lot of fun. Also, it’s a good way to collect cute toys.
能力综合实践5篇
Long ago, in a village in the Netherlands, lived a hot-tempered princess. She loved running wild in the woods, returning with tangled hair that made her nurse struggle to comb. The king, who adored his daughter, worried she couldn’t be a good ruler without controlling her temper.
One day, the king wandered to an old oak tree he’d saved years before. The rustling leaves seemed to speak, “Make a wooden-barrel skirt for the princess to teach her a lesson.” A grateful bull also told him to use its horn to make a fine comb.
Lightning soon struck the oak, and the bull lay still. The king followed their words—he had the oak made into a skirt and the horn into a comb.
Later, a blue flower named flax (亚麻) grew where the oak fell. Villagers learned to weave flax into soft linen (亚麻布). When the princess became queen, she wore twenty linen skirts instead of the wooden one. The village became famous for its linen, and even centuries later, brides there still wear twenty skirts as a tradition. But one day, a young girl from a neighboring village visited and asked the queen about the wooden skirt. The queen smiled, took out the well-kept wooden skirt, and said, “This is not just a piece of wood. It’s the start of our village’s fashion story. And do you know, this story also has a special secret that connects fashion with kindness?”Task 1: Answer the questions.
1.Why did the king worry about his daughter?
2.What did the oak tree’s leaves tell the king to do?
3.What was the comb made of?
4.What did the villagers weave into linen?
5.What tradition has been kept in the village for centuries?

The changing clothes: a story of fashion
What we wear every day is more than just clothes. It tells a story about our time, our culture, and even our technology. Fashion in China has changed greatly over the years, showing how people’s lives and ideas have developed.
In ancient times, clothing style in China was stable for centuries. People wore traditional clothes like hanfu. The style, colour, and material of clothes could often tell a person’s social status. For example, bright yellow was often only for the emperor and his family.
In the early 20th century, things began to change quickly. The cheongsam (qipao) became popular for women. It mixed traditional Chinese elements with a more modern, fitted silhouette (剪影) Meanwhile, Western-style suits and dresses started to appear in big cities like Shanghai, showing the beginning of global influence on Chinese fashion.
After the 1980s, with China’s reform and opening-up, young people began to have more choices. They were crazy about new ideas from abroad. Blue jeans, T-shirts, and sunglasses became symbols of being modern and free. People started to use clothes to express their individuality, not just to follow tradition.
In the 21st century, fashion has become highly diverse and fast-paced. Thanks to the Internet and fast fashion brands, trends change very quickly. A style popular in Paris or Seoul can be seen on the streets of Beijing or Chengdu in just a few weeks. Platforms like Xiaohongshu and TikTok allow everyone to be both a fashion follower and a trendsetter.
Today, people are also thinking more about what’s behind the clothes. The ideas of sustainable fashion and “vintage” style are becoming popular. This means people are paying more attention to protecting the environment and appreciating classic styles that last longer than just one season.
Looking into the future, fashion will likely continue to mix technology with personal expression. Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health. One thing is for sure: fashion will keep reflecting who we are and the world we live in.Task 1:
1.What could the clothes tell about a person in ancient China?
2.What happened to fashion after the 1980s in China?
3.What makes fashion trends change so quickly in the 21st century?
4.What are the two popular ideas in fashion today mentioned in the passage?
Task 2:
5.The passage ends by saying: “Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health.” What other innovative features can you imagine for smart clothes? (Use your own words in at least 30 words.)
【答案】1.The clothes could tell a person’s social status. 2.Young people began to have more choices and used clothes to express their individuality, influenced by new ideas from abroad. 3.The Internet, fast fashion brands, and platforms make fashion trends change quickly. 4.Sustainable fashion and vintage style. 5.Perhaps future clothes could automatically adjust their thickness to keep us warm in winter and cool in summer. They might also be able to clean themselves using sunlight, saving water and time. Some smart clothes may even help us communicate by translating languages instantly or showing messages on the fabric. (Any reasonable answer is OK.)

China is quickly becoming the fashion capital. Thanks to social media and young customers, China prefers to develop its own style, Chinese style. And there have been some achievements for the past few years. There is even a name for it: China-Chic.
Maybe you have heard of it by chance. China-Chic is the result of young people's interests in Chinese culture and things. It's reported that 68 percent of young Chinese, especially those between the ages of 20-25, say they prefer products made in China to those made abroad. They are now prouder of “Chinese style”.
A 25-year-old vlogger (视频博主) named Cai Qian spent 15 days making a golden mask, which is really similar to the ancient mask found at Sanxingdui Ruins site in Sichuan. His video has drawn over 11 million viewers. And later, he recreated another thing from the same 3,000-year-old site. This made him get over 7 million viewers again.
One of the reasons why this is happening is the development of e-commerce (电子商务) and social media, which gives sellers a direct chance to communicate with their customers. Now people can learn about the Chinese styles and buy something which they are interested in easily.
So, what is China-Chic, really? Well, it's bright and colourful. We will see more red and gold in China than in the fashion capitals of London, Paris and New York.

4.根据第四段“One of the reasons why this is happening is the development of e-commerce (电子商务) and social media, which gives sellers a direct chance to communicate with their customers.”以及第三段描述视频博主的情况可知,电子商务和社交媒体的发展让卖家有机会直接与顾客交流,人们能轻松了解中国风并购买感兴趣的东西,所以这位25岁的视频博主能吸引这么多观众,是因为电子商务和社交媒体的发展。

Gabrielle Chanel, widely known as Coco Chanel, was a world-famous French fashion designer. She was born in 1883 into a poor family in France. Unfortunately, her mother passed away when she was still a little girl, and she had to move to an orphanage (孤儿院) afterwards. There, the kind nuns taught her the basic skill of sewing patiently. This early sewing training laid a solid foundation for her future career and helped her a great deal in her later life.
When she grew up, Coco Chanel followed her passion for fashion and began to design hats. She sold these carefully designed hats to rich women, and her works soon gained popularity because of their unique style. Later, with her hard work and persistence, she opened her own fashion shops in Paris, the fashion capital of the world. She disliked the heavy, tight, and uncomfortable clothes that women were forced to wear at that time. Instead, she created simple, elegant and loose-fitting clothes, such as the classic little black dress. These innovative clothes made women feel more comfortable and helped them build up confidence in daily life.
Apart from clothing design, Coco Chanel also made remarkable achievements in the perfume field. She launched her iconic perfume, Chanel No. 5, in 1921. Different from the strong-scented perfumes popular at that time, Chanel No. 5 had a fresh and elegant fragrance, which made it quickly become a hit all over the world. Coco Chanel devoted her entire life to the fashion industry; she worked diligently day after day and kept designing new styles until she was 87 years old. Her creative designs completely changed the traditional way women dressed and broke the old-fashioned rules. Even today, her classic works are still popular among fashion lovers around the globe.
