For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It's no secret that China has always been a source (来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion (时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of Chinainspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) 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 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 way
28.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?

C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes.
D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
29.What does Hill say about Chinese women?

B.They start many fashion campaigns.
C.They admire super models.
D.They do business all over the world.
30.What do the underlined words “taking on” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.learning from B.looking down on
C.working with D.competing against
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
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

There is no doubt that the world will be a very different place in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty likely that robots and AI technology will change a lot of industries. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life, bringing us much convenience.
However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In a video series called Forward to the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined would be reality in 2045.
Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. “Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,” Justin said. According to him, experts are working on certain technologies that can make this happen. They’ve made some progress already.
The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the building and other objects around us, says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight (轻量型的). We don’t even know the materials around us,” she predicted.
Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. “I think we’ll begin to see a time when we’re able to control a machine just by pressing a button (按钮) or only saying some simple words,” she said. For example, right now to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order. But in 2045, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilot won’t even be necessary.
32. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A. Making progress in AI technology. B. Driving flying cars in our daily life.
C. Controlling things by using our mind. D. Using robots in different industries.
33. Which of the following would be possible according to Stefanie?
A. AI helps pilots to land planes. B. Computers operate all machines.
C. Self-driving cars travel around us. D. Houses are strong but lightweight.
34. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Challenges for AI in the Future B. Experts’ Predictions of Life in 2045
C. Famous Scientists in New Technologies D. New Kinds of Building Materials
35. In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage?
A. Health & Lifestyle. B. Education & Culture.
C. Nature & Environment. D. Science & Technology.

Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships (军舰), with which they expected to gain itself an empire.

Scout could clearly remember the night when she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War Ⅱ and her family had to escape as soon as possible.

Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter,Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don't worry, Grandma. Nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see that it's going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she would get the job. So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.

And I have been living here in Washington DC in America ever since.” Eliza could not believe it, the stories of her grandmother's best friend floating in her mind.
