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, only are todays 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 Galiano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs-and beating them hands down in design and sales, adds Hil.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 ways.14. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A. It promoted the sales of artworks.B. It attracted a large number of visitors.C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.15. What does Hill say about Chinese women?A. They are setting the fashion.B. They start many fashion campaigns.C. They admire super models.D. They do business all over the world.16. What do the underlined wordstaking on in paragraph 4 mean?A. learning fromB. looking down onC. working withD. competing against17. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC. Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsCMoney with no strings attached. Its not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, Give What You Can, Take What You Need.People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. “People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的)backgrounds gave and took, ”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars. Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip(片段)shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles,” Bridges said. “Theres a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most. Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.“After all, everyone has bad days and good days, he said. “Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”18.Whatdoestheexpressionmoneywithnostringsattachedinparagraph1mean?A.Moneyspentwithouthesitation.

No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2020, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wild lands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.22. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.23. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests.B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development.D. Fire control measures.24. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?A. Inadequate snowmelt. B. A longer dry season.C. A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air.25. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Californias Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Procrastination(拖延症) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate, we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till its too late. 26 . Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success.Break your work down into little parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的) for us. Break it down into little parts, and then focus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further. 27Change your environment. Look at your work desk and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy? 28 .Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. Thats because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back until its too late. 29 . In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date.30 . Im pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, youll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing. The people we are with influence our behavior.A. Its a bad habit eating us away and stopping us achieving greater success in life.B. Hang out with people who inspire you to take action.C. Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines for each small task.D. If its the latter, you should begin to change your workspace.E. Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals.F. Having a companion makes the whole process much more fun.G. Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.第三部分 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,共20分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A Milwaukee bus driver went above the call of duty when she stopped to save an unlikelywould-be passenger: a toddler.Irene Ivic was driving on a freeway overpass when she 31 a barefoot toddler, Milwaukee County Transit System spokesman Matt Sliker said.
