三、阅读单选
If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. There is a new trend (趋势) called guochao or “China-chic”. “China-chic” means the rise of China’s native fashion (时尚) trends.
Before 2018, big-name foreign companies played a main part in the world market. However, during the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. It introduced its Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a fashionable look, but also included elements (元素) of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately caught people’s eyes at home and abroad.
Soon, Chinese native brands have become more and more popular all over China. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candies bring back childhood memories for many people, began to sell other products, like milk tea and ice cream. By doing so, it won the heart of young people. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” said Shen Qinfeng, the company’s manager.
In 2021, some Western brands refused to buy Xinjiang cotton. To show cultural confidence, millions of Chinese refused to buy these Western brands and turned to Chinese native brands that support Xinjiang cotton, like Li-Ning and Anta.
No matter how the guochao trend develops, there is one thing that won’t change — Chinese people’s growing confidence in national culture.

Gift-giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.

46.call 47.to worry 48.trying 49.words 50.possible 51.feel 52.offer 53.drink 54.public 55.smile
【分析】本文介绍了英国人对于他们不认识的人所常用的称呼,虽然这些称呼听起来有些奇怪,但这只是英国人出于礼貌的表现,听到这些称呼的时候,微笑着接受就可以了。
46.句意:他们也许会用称呼你为“亲爱的人”、“心爱的人”或者“亲爱的”。
根据句中的dear,darling,love可知,此处是表示称呼;call是动词,意为“把……称为”,句中may是情态动词,所以动词原形call用在此处符合题意。故填call。
47.句意:没有必要担心。
根据下文的why可知,此处是听到英国人对你的称呼的时候没必要担心;worry是动词,意为担心;句中need是名词,意为“需要”,There’s no need.句式结构完整,所以此处需要动词不定式修饰need,即没有担心的必要。故填to worry。
48.句意:因为那些人只是尽力显示出他们的礼貌。
根据句中的are是be动词,可知此处应使用动名词形式;try是动词,意为“尝试,试着”,try to do sth.意为“尽力去做某事”,此处用try的动名词形式trying。故填trying。
49.句意:就像”先生”和”夫人”一样,对于英国人他们可能不太熟悉的人来说,还有很多其他称呼。
根据下文The British also use words like “petal”, “duck”, “son” and so on.可知,英国人也会用”花瓣””鸭子””儿子”等词,所以此处是英国人还有很多可以用来称呼他们不熟悉的人的词;word是名词,意为“词”;根据句中的many,可知此处使用word的复数形式。故填words。
50.句意:店员可以叫你“亲爱的人”“心爱的人”或者“亲爱的”。
根据上文They may call you “dear”, “darling” or “love”.可知,英国的人们可能会这样称呼你,所以此处对于店员来说,也是有可能用“亲爱的人”“心爱的人”或者“亲爱的”来称呼你;根据句中is是be动词,可知此处需要形容词;possible是形容词,意为“可能的”。故填possible。
51.句意:不要感到含羞。
根据句中shy是形容词,可知此处需要系动词;根据上文Because those people are just trying to be polite.可知,英国人用这样的称呼只是为了显得有礼貌,所以你不用感到含羞;feel是系动词,意为“感到”;根据句中don’t可知,此处用动词原形feel符合题意。故填feel。
52.句意:例如,如果你在公车上给一位老太太让座,她会说“谢谢你,小花瓣”。
根据she will say “Thank you, petal”可知,此处是当你给老太太让座以后,她会感谢你;offer是动词,意为“主动给予”,固定搭配offer sth. to sb.意为“向某人提供某物”。故填offer。
53.句意:如果你在西米德兰兹郡的酒吧里,想要喝一杯(酒),酒保会说”要点什么,宝贝儿 ”
根据if you are in a bar可知,此处是如果你在酒吧想要喝一杯;drink是名词,意为“一份或一杯酒”。故填drink。
54.句意:下次在英国,你在公共场合被叫奇怪的名字,笑着接受就可以了。
根据上文中的shop,bus,bar可知,这些地方都是公共场合,所以此处是在公共场合被叫到奇怪的名字;public是名词,意为“公共场合”;in public意为“在公共场合”。故填public。
55.句意:下次在英国,你在公共场合被叫奇怪的名字,笑着接受就可以了。
根据句中accept可知,此处是当你在公共场合被叫奇怪的名字,要笑着接受,因为这是英国人礼貌的表现;smile是动词,意为“微笑”。故填smile。
56.protect 57.pretty 58.why 59.appear 60.scarves 61.their 62.smooth 63.must 64.customers 65.business
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们关于衣服的观念一直在变化。古代的人们用衣服来保护自己的身体;后来发现衣服可以让人们更好看;进一步发展到如今衣服成了一种时尚。现今的衣服出现了不同的风格,有时候还需要穿正式的衣服出席特定的场合。
56.句意:在过去,人们穿衣服只是为了保护好自己的身体。根据“their bodies well only”可知穿衣服是为了保护好身体,protect“保护”,动词不定式符号后加动词原形。故填protect。
57.句意:后来,他们逐渐发现合适的衣服能让女人漂亮,让男人英俊。根据句子中的并列连词and可以推知空格处应填一个形容词,与handsome相呼应,衣服能让女人漂亮,pretty“漂亮的”。故填pretty。
58.句意:这就是为什么如今人们在衣服上花很多钱。That’s why“这就是为什么……”,why引导表语从句。故填why。
59.句意:在服装设计师的帮助下,每天会出现不同风格的衣服。根据“With the help of fashion designers, many different styles of clothes”可知出现了不同风格的衣服,appear“出现”,句子是一般现在时,主语是复数,动词用原形。故填appear。
60.句意:你一定会很容易就在商店里找到不同风格的衣服,如丝巾、皮夹克、棉衬衫等等。根据“you must find many new styles of clothes”可知此处是列举不同风格的衣服,方框中符合衣服类的词为scarf“丝巾”,其他列举的名词都使用复数形式,空格处也应填复数名词。故填scarves。
61.句意:当然,每个人都喜欢选择他们自己的穿衣方式。one’s own way of“某人自己的……方式”,此处应填一个形容词表示“他们的”,they对应的形容词性物主代词为their。故填their。
62.句意:它手感柔软光滑。结合“Perhaps the most popular clothes are casual ones, such as a cotton shirt”可知这里要填的是棉衬衣的手感如何,smooth“光滑的”符合题意。故填smooth。
63.句意:警察在工作时必须穿制服。根据“wear uniforms”可知是必须穿制服,must符合题意。故填must。
64.句意:银行职员为他们的顾客服务时要穿制服。银行职员服务的对象是他们的顾客,customer“顾客”,服务的顾客不止一人,应该用复数名词。故填customers。
65.句意:商人们在进行商务会议时需要穿正式的衣服。根据“Businessmen need to wear formal clothes when they’re having a”可知是商务会议时商人要穿正式的衣服,business meeting“商务会议”。故填business。
66.例文:
Dear Daming,
It’s a good idea to take a small gift when you go to have a dinner in an American family. Flowers are always nice, or you might bring a bottle of wine if you know that the family like to drink it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’ t get there early. If you’ re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the knife, fork, or spoon, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you. It’s better to ask than to be quiet and feel uncomfortable and nervous.
If you like the food, say so. Of course, you should thank the host and hostess for the meal and their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card or a thank-you note the following day.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you will come to Anhui for winter vacation. Different countries have different customs and table manners. In China, you should smile and shake hands with your friends or relatives. If you're invited to dinner, you must be on time. While eating, you should not eat too much at a time. It's good manners to say “thanks” to the host when he asks you to help yourself to some food. When you are full, but the host still asks you to help yourself to more food, you should say, “Thank you. It's delicious, but I'm full.” It's polite to say thanks while leaving.
Have a good trip!
Best wishes.
