Bringing cheer to the Internet are hundreds of young people in traditional Chinese clothing known as hanfu, but with a Christmas twist. Over the past few days, social and video platforms such as Douyin, Bilibili, and Weibo have been flooded with users posting in “Christmas hanfu, with holiday touches of red, white, and green. “It’s Christmas. As a hanfu lover, I naturally thought of Christmas hanfu,” Pan Zhen, a 25-year-old hanfu enthusiast told. Hanfu are historical styles of clothing worn by Han Chinese. In recent years, some hanfu lovers have taken their costumes a step further, integrating Christmas themes to shine in the holiday spirit and demonstrate how ancient clothing is adapting to new tastes and trends. In modern China, the hanfu community attracts people from different walks of life: from history enthusiasts to cartoon fans, to students and even young professionals. In recent years, hanfu sales have seen a six fold increase on Tmall, China’s leading e-commerce platform. Liu Yizhi, a 25-year-old magazine editor and hanfu lover, told combinations with holiday themes are a welcome interpretation. Previously, he said, people like him would make their own outfits, but with the style catching on, more clothing retailers have been experimenting and innovating. Xiao Qinfei, a hanfu seller, has set out to tailor hanfu to local festivals, even designing cyberpunk-style (赛博朋克风格) hanfu, which he admits may be ahead of its time. “Rather than making traditional hanfu, we are interested in combining hanfu with modern elements,” Xiao said. “In fashion, sticking with tradition is not the trend.” The clothing entrepreneur believes that, in the coming years, hanfu will continue to be appreciated. “Bigger brands already have a large market share,” he said, “but smaller retailers can cash in on local trends to target younger customers. The future of the traditional Chinese clothing is still waiting for our exploration.” 31.

Hanfu sellers stick to making traditional hanfu to show the beauty. C. Nowadays, Chinese traditional clothing attracts people of all ages. D. Both big brands and small businesses can find their place in the market. 【答案】31. B 32. B 33. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了汉服在网络上兴起并受到欢迎，其通过融合新元素适应新潮流。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Bringing cheer to the Internet are hundreds of young people in traditional Chinese clothing known as hanfu, but with a Christmas twist. Over the past few days, social and video platforms such as Douyin, Bilibili, and Weibo have been flooded with users posting in “Christmas hanfu, with holiday touches of red, white, and green.(数百名身着汉服的年轻人走红网络，他们的汉服融入了圣诞特色元素，让人耳目一新。连日来，抖音、哔哩哔哩、微博等社交与视频平台上，大量网友晒出圣诞主题汉服，搭配红、白、绿等节日专属配色，相关内容刷屏全网。)”可知，后文是对汉服在网络上流行的描述，中国传统服饰正迎来复兴热潮。“Ancient Chinese clothing is enjoying a renaissance”这句话的意思与“hanfu are gaining popularity on the Internet these days(如今汉服正在网络上日渐走红)”意思接近。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In recent years, some hanfu lovers have taken their costumes a step further, integrating Christmas themes to shine in the holiday spirit and demonstrate how ancient clothing is adapting to new tastes and trends.(近年来，一些汉服爱好者更进一步，将圣诞主题融入服装中，以展现节日精神，并展示古代服装如何适应新的品味和潮流。)”可知，汉服受欢迎的原因是通过融入其他元素来适应新的品味和潮流。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Bigger brands already have a large market share,” he said, “but smaller retailers can cash in on local trends to target younger customers. The future of the traditional Chinese clothing is still waiting for our exploration.”(他说：“大品牌早已占据巨大市场份额，但小型零售商可以借助本土潮流，瞄准年轻消费群体。中国传统服饰的未来，仍有待我们去探索。”)”可知，大品牌占据大市场，小众商家依托本土趋势发展，大小企业都能立足汉服市场。 (B) ●The Most Durable and Reliable Laptop Brand To find out the brand for all laptop shoppers out there, we’ve taken a look at what Consumer Reports has to say, at surveys of how frequently laptops were reclaimed for repairs, at professional viewpoints, at crowdsourced voting, and much more.

It is a great home helper for any housewife who loves to cook.( 搅拌机是厨房里用来切碎食物的器具。有了它，你可以很容易地做成泥、粥、慕斯或冰沙。这是一个伟大的家庭帮手，任何家庭主妇谁爱做饭)” 能看出，喜欢烹饪的家庭主妇可能会对介绍搅拌机及其用途、选择的内容感兴趣，所以 B 选项不符合题意。根据“The Most Durable and Reliable Laptop Brand”部分“To find out the brand for all laptop shoppers out there, we’ve taken a look at what Consumer Reports has to say, at surveys of how frequently laptops were reclaimed for repairs, at professional viewpoints, at crowdsourced voting, and much more.( 为了让所有的笔记本电脑消费者都能找到这个品牌，我们查阅了《消费者报告》中的说法、关于笔记本电脑回收维修频率的调查、专业观点、众包投票等)” 可知，笔记本电脑坏了的商人可能会关注这些关于笔记本电脑品牌的信息，所以 C 选项不符合题意。文章中主要围绕耐用的笔记本电脑品牌、搅拌机以及适合大学生的平板电脑展开介绍，没有关于如何修理电脑的内容，所以 “一个想学习如何修理电脑的老师” 对文章内容不感兴趣，D 选项符合题意。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章中“Click to know the list of durable laptops on Amazon: check the features and prices.(点击了解亚马逊上的耐用笔记本电脑列表：查看功能和价格)” 以及 “Those still attempting to weigh the benefits need to begin by reading College Students Should Consider Tablets Instead of Laptops.(那些还在权衡利弊的人，需要从阅读《大学生应该考虑平板电脑而不是笔记本电脑》开始)” 等内容可知，文章中有引导读者点击链接获取更多信息的表述，由此可推知，本文可能来自一个旨在帮助人们了解广阔科技世界的网站。故选A。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Most Durable and Reliable Laptop Brand部分“It’s not surprising that these reports didn’t necessarily agree with one another—in reality, some produced completely different results.(这些报告不一定相互一致，这并不奇怪 —— 实际上，有些报告产生了完全不同的结果)”可知，关于顾客对笔记本电脑反馈的报告可能会导致不同的结果，故选A。 (C) Ikea is to stop producing its iconic catalogue, once the most-printed and representative book of this company. The flat-pack furniture retailer on Monday said its current catalogue — released in August — would be its last as more and more shoppers move online and fewer read a booklet (小册子) first released in 1951 by Ikea’s founder, Ingvar Kamprad. “It’s an emotional decision, but it’s a rational decision,” said Inter Ikea, the owner of the brand and concept. At its peak in 2015, Ikea produced more than 200 million copies of the catalogue featuring a complete series of its products from Billy bookcases to Ektorp sofas. The shining brochure became a part of family homes and student flats around the world. The first catalogue was produced by Kamprad in his home region of southern Sweden, Smaland, and distributed in 285,000 copies as part of his mail-order business, seven years before the first Ikea store opened. It gradually expanded around the world and the current 2021 catalogue ran to 40 million copies. “We don’t have a replacement for the catalogue, as of today. But we will look at how we reach the many people globally,” said the company, now based in the Netherlands. Ikea is undergoing a huge transformation as it moves from forcing shoppers to drive to its big out-of-town warehouses to pick up and then assemble their own furniture to a wider range of options from city-centre stores to home delivery and even help with assembling sofas and wardrobes. Its online sales increased 45 percent in the year to the end of August while there were 4 billion visits to its website. Ikea managers say shoppers are increasingly combining online and physical shopping, checking out furniture beforehand online or sitting on it in store before ordering from the website. Facing all these challenges, the managers say, the catalogue may meet its fate sooner or later. 37. Based on the context, what does the underlined word in the first paragraph “iconic” mean? A. standard B. outdated C. symbolic D. innovative 38. Why does Ikea plan to stop the production of its catalogue? A. Because the booklet was released many years ago. B. Because the owner made the decision emotionally. C. Because there are fewer readers with more people shopping online. D. Because the booklet became a part of family homes and student flats. 39. What can we know from Ikea’s transformation? A. Customers who lack strong hands-on skills can now easily get their furniture. B. Shoppers used to drive to the city centre and have the furniture delivered home. C. Customers now prefer to assemble furniture with the help of Ikea employees. D. Shoppers used to be provided with various options for collecting furniture. 40. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Ikea’s online sales increase rapidly. B. Ikea’s booklet wins great popularity. C. Online shopping is sweeping across the world. D. Ikea decides to stop producing its catalogue. 【答案】37. C 38. C 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述宜家因消费习惯转变，宣布停止印制经典纸质产品目录册。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Ikea is to stop producing its iconic catalogue, once the most-printed and representative book of this company.(宜家将停止生产其iconic的产品目录，该目录曾是该公司印刷量最大、最具代表性的书籍)”可知，它曾是该公司印刷量最大、最具代表性的刊物，所以是标志性的产品目录，iconic在此处意为“标志性的，象征性的”，与symbolic意思相符。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“as more and more shoppers move online and fewer read a booklet first released in 1951 by Ikea’s founder, Ingvar Kamprad.(随着越来越多的购物者转向网上购物，而阅读宜家创始人英格瓦·坎普拉德于1951年首次发布的小册子的人越来越少。)”可知，宜家计划停止生产其产品目录是因为随着越来越多的人在网上购物，阅读这本小册子的人越来越少了。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Ikea is undergoing a huge transformation as it moves from forcing shoppers to drive to its big out-of-town warehouses to pick up and then assemble their own furniture to a wider range of options from city-centre stores to home delivery and even help with assembling sofas and wardrobes.(宜家正在经历一场巨大的变革，从强迫购物者开车到其大型城外仓库取货并自己组装家具，转变为提供更多选择，从市中心商店到送货上门，甚至帮助组装沙发和衣柜)”可知，如今宜家提供组装服务，动手能力弱的顾客也能轻松置办家具。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“Ikea is to stop producing its iconic catalogue(宜家将停止生产其标志性的产品目录)”可知，文章主要讲述了宜家决定停止生产其产品目录。 IV.
