9、cknowledging that in many ways.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章以国外视角报道中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚的影响,展现了中国对国际时尚和设计发展的引领作用。这篇文章通过在试题情境中融入中国优秀传统文化和美学知识,引导考生在关注和提高审美情趣的同时,坚定理想信念,增强文化自信,树立正确的价值观。1What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?AIt promoted the sales of artworks.BIt attracted a large number of visitors.CIt sho
10、wed ancient Chinese clothes.DIt aimed to introduce Chinese models.B推理判断题。由题干中的the exhibition in New York定位到原文第三段。本段中并没有提到这次展览促进了艺术品的销售,也没有提到展示了中国古代的服装,故排除A、C两项;由“The exhibition had record attendance,showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.(此次展览吸引了破纪录的出席者,显示出人们对中国影响的浓厚兴趣)”可知,B项表述正确;
11、由原文中的“.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.(旨在探索中国美学对西方时尚的影响,以及几个世纪以来中国是如何激发时尚想象力的)”可知,这次展览的目的不是介绍中国模特儿,故D项表述错误。2What does Hill say about Chinese women?AThey are setting the fashion.BT

15、中国美学对国际时尚的影响进行了评价,由此可知,中国文化推动了国际时尚潮流,故D项作为文章的标题最合适。Hill说中国模特儿是向全世界女性贩卖梦想的美丽和时尚活动的代言人,旨在强调中国女性在时尚方面的重要性;在纽约举办的中国艺术展只是文章提到的一个事例,不是文章论述的中心;文章中没有提到东西方在审美方面的不同,因此A、B、C三项均不能概括全文。BStudies have shown a direct link between goals and improved performance in both sports and business.Earl Nightingale put it thi
