This summer, most Chinese citizens have been amazed by women wearing hanfu, or Han-style clothing, at subway stations, shopping malls, pedestrian streets or scenic areas. Hanfu has aroused a public attention in recent years, especially among young people.

In 2018, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China (CCCYL) set the third day of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar, traditionally the birthday of the Chinese people’s mythological (神话的) ancestor the Yellow Emperor, as the annual Traditional Chinese Garment (服装) Day. It was aimed to promote classic Chinese culture, as well as “demonstrating cultural confidence”. Since then, the beauty of hanfu has gained more and more recognition and acceptance by common people.

Generally, hanfu refers to traditional Chinese garments worn by the Han nationality before the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Historically, Han Chinese clothing has also influenced some of its neighboring cultural costumes, including the Japanese kimono, Korean hanbok, and clothing of Mongolia, Vietnam and Bhutan.

Hanfu appears elegant and beautiful, not only due to the thousands of years of culture behind its design. This traditional dress also stands out because of its remarkable craftsmanship, from fabric to decoration. Hanfu adopts more than 30 examples of Chinas invisible cultural heritage as well as Chinese arts and crafts under preservation.

Hanfu represents not only appreciation of the beauty, but also a continuation of traditional Chinese culture. Nowadays, more and more fashion designers look to hanfu for inspiration, producing fashionable examples of hanfu for a new era (纪元).

1.Why did CCCYL set the third day of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar as the annual Traditional Chinese Garment Day?

A.To help design hanfu.

B.To promote China economy.

C.To remember the birth of the Yellow Emperor.

D.To encourage more people to know about classic Chinese culture.

2.Which countries cultural costumes have been influenced by Han Chinese clothing?

A.Japanese and Russian. B.Russian and British

C.Korean and Vietnamese. D.Mongolian and American.

3.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.The rich culture of hanfu. B.The reasons for the beauty of hanfu.

C.The worldwide influence of hanfu. D.The popularity of hanfu among young people.

4.Where is this text most likely from?

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

So far,this year’s global music market has definitely been dominated (支配)by women：Beyonce Knowles，Taylor Swirl，and Iggy Azalea are all making waves．And one hot name that adds more conviction to the list is US singer Ariana Grande．

Almost exactly a year ago，Grande released her first album，Yours Truly． And over the past 12 months，the 21-year-old former Nickelodeon(an American TV channel for kids and adolescents)star has transformed from a pop artist you might recognize to an outstanding superstar．She now possesses three top 10 singles in the current Billboard Hot 100 chart，an impressive opening performance at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards，and millions of followers on social networking sites．

Her second album，My Everything, which was released on Aug 25，is the latest sign of her　　 coming dominance．It hit No．1 on the Billboard 200 album chart this week，making her the only other female singer after Scotland’s Susan Boyle to have two continuous No．1 albums in a single year.

Grande’s strength lies in her powerful voice and wide voiced range．Unlike her companions Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato，Grande’s star power is rooted in the fact that she can really sing．More importantly，Grande knows how to control her voice，which is at once strong and sensitive，and use it to expand her musical territory．

My Everything is the best example．In this album，Grande literally tries her hand at everything：dance music，R&B jams，hip-hop tunes，power ballads and even’60s-inflected pop．

While you can clearly sense her ambition as a singer，you will be impressed by how effortlessly she handles these different styles of music，especially if you have listened to Yours Truly，a more refreshing．’90s R&B—influenced project．

Of course，one suggestion for Grande’s future music would be for her to display more personality instead of simply showing her voiced talent．But not to worry, based on what we’ve heard thus far, it's safe to say Grande is well on her way to growing into her own．

1.Which of the following contributes to Grande’s great success?

A．The impressive opening performance．

B．Her followers on social networking sites．

C．The influence of’60s pop and’90s R&B．

D．Her powerful voice and wide voiced range．

2.We can conclude from the last paragraph that Grande_________．

A．1ikes to show off her voice

B．is a promising superstar

C．1acks her own personality

D．has difficulty going further

3.What can we learn about Ariana Grande?

A．She prefers hip-hop tunes in particular．

B．She used to be a pop star in a TV channel．

C．She has two top 10 singles of Billboard’s Hot 100．

D．She is the only singer to have two No．1 albums in a year．

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．A Rising Music Genius

B．The Music Market of Women

C．Susan Boyle and Her Companions

D．Different Styles of Grande’s Music

Men have long been puzzled by the amount women pack, when they go on holiday. They despair when they watch their beloved spend much money on extra baggage charge. Nearly half of these women admitted to lying about the weight of their case to their partner before leaving for the airport, in fear of being made to unload some unnecessary items.

But it’s a fact that women pack more than they need. On average, a woman needs around 57 items in suitcase for a two-week holiday, yet most women pack nearer to 150 items, ranging from skirts, tops, underwear and high heels. In addition, women pack more sun cream, make-up and hair appliances than they were likely to need. They all take up space in the suitcase, only a third of them will see the light of day once at the holiday place.

79 percent of women admitted to taking extra items with them, with the reason for this being “just in case”. Women plan their holiday wardrobe(衣橱) months in advance. Packing enough clothes and other items to last a month is not enough for some women. They’d take a chance to shop for new items while holidaying abroad. So they’ll return with even more luggage in their cases.

Professor Karen Pine said: “Women are tempted to take familiar items with them on holiday, often everything except the kitchen sink. Some people find traveling stressful, particularly when they’re unsure about the home comforts available at their holiday place. They over-pack to help cope with those feelings of stress and reduce the uncertainty.”

This will come as no surprise to some men, who are used to trying to squeeze their partner’s luggage into the boot of the car with their own, smaller case. On the other hand, men pack very lightly, with only an average of 40 items for a two-week holiday.

1.Women pack too much on holiday because_________.

A. they want to show off their items

B. they prefer a more comfortable holiday

C. they are afraid they’ll need them during the holiday

D. they would like to clean their clothes wardrobe very much

2.How does a man feel about his wife packing too much?

A. Opposed　　　　 B. Supportive

C. Positive　　　　　　 D. Surprised

3.What do Dr Pine’s words imply?

A. Going on holiday will cost a lot.

B. Women don’t prefer to go on a holiday.

C. It’s understandable that women over-pack in a sense.

D. People tend to feel tired and stressed on holiday.

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. All the items women take during their holiday are not of great use to them.

B. Women often tell their partners what they are going to take in advance.

C. Women will still buy new items when going abroad beacause what they take is not enough.

For many men, the idea that they have a better sense of direction than women has been improved by a scientific study.

Researchers from Norway scanned on the brains of volunteers as they completed navigation (导航) tasks to discover men are more skillful at finding their way because they use a separate part of their brain. According to lead researcher Dr. Cal Pintzka from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), men and women have different navigational strategies.

Med use basic directions—the use of north, south, east and west—during navigation to a greater degree. Men’s sense of direction was more effective. They quite simply got to their destination faster. “If they’re going to the Students Society building in Trodheim, for example, men usually go into the general direction where it is located.” Dr. Pintzka explained.

Women usually orient (标定方向) themselves along a route to get there, for example, go past the hairdresser and then up the street and turn right after the shore.

The study shows that using the basic directions is more efficient because it is a more flexible strategy. The destination can be reached faster because the strategy depends less on where you start.

Meanwhile, the study also shows both men and women use large areas of the brain when they navigate, but some areas were different. The man used the hippocampus (海马体) more, whereas women use their frontal areas to a greater extent. That degrees with the fact that the hippocampus is necessary to make use of basic directions. Losing one’s sense of direction is one of the first symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease.

Understanding how men and women use different brain areas and strategies to navigate, researchers will be able to enhance the understand of the disease’s development, and develop coping strategies for those already affected.

1. How are men different from women in navigation?

A. They use a separate part of their brain.

B. They deal with navigation in complex ways.

C. They make different actions to the road signs.

D. They form different images of road conditions.

2. What strategy do men usually take to find a place?

A. Finding out all possible routes.

B. Remembering all the landmarks.

C. Making out the general direction.

D. Drawing a general map of the place.

3.Why is men’s strategy more efficient?

A. Because it is much easier to be carried out.

B. Because it is more helpful to identify roads.

C. Because it is simpler for telling directions.

D. Because it is less limited by the starting place.

4.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Getting to the destination is no more a difficult thing.

B. Men have a better sense of direction than women.

C. Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented effectively.

D. Hippocampus is playing a key role in navigation.
