Everyday wear like casual shirts, T-shirts, and jackets, embroidered (刺绣) with traditional patterns from the Yi ethnic group, staged a striking show at recent New York Fashion Week, which took place on September 4th. Chinese designer Wang Ta’s new youth collection, decorated with Yi embroidery, a Chinese intangible (无形的) cultural heritage, was a definite hit on the last night of the fashion week.
The audience was amazed by both the beautiful and mostly hand-embroidered colorful patterns and the perfect balance of modern and traditional elements. Leah Coulter, a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, who dressed the models for the show, said the collection was a mix of old and new and loved all the patterns and embroidery, which aroused her interest in the unique handicraft dating back thousands of years. “I need to learn more about its history, " Coulter said.
It’s not something new in the fashion world to involve China’s intangible cultural heritages as elements of design, Wang said, but it’s not easy to make them into true fashion. Intangible cultural heritages should not always be displayed in museums or only appear on souvenirs. I hope to break the stereotype through using the Yi embroidery and make them everyday, fashionable items, " Wang told the media after the show. "I think fashion is the best way to introduce culture. "
Wang’s design ideas can be traced back to both her global experience as a fashion designer in Japan, the UK and China, and her unique educational background. Before receiving her second degree in fashion from Japan’s top fashion institute Tokyo Mode Gakuen, she majored in history at ECNU（East China Normal University）in Shanghai. In order to create her collection, Wang and her team went to Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture (自治州) in southwest China’s Yunnan Province and deeply studied the culture and history of Yi’s craftsmanship to gain insight into the essence, delicacy and symbolism of Yi embroidery. But Wang’s employing the patterns, colors and techniques of Yi embroidery in her contemporary fashion designs is not a simple imitation. The combination of modern and traditional parts can’t be too striking for it to be widely accepted as everyday wear, Wang said, adding that her goal is for people, regardless of gender, color or nationality, to like her designs.
8. What made Wang Ta’s design appealing to the audience?
A. The totally hand-embroidered costumes in Yi culture.
B. The brilliant combination of traditional and modern parts.
C. The remarkable design of Chinese intangible cultural heritage.
D. The diversity of ethnic cultures displayed in the youth clothes.
9. What does the underlined word “stereotype” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Unique style. B. Commercial trend.
C. Fixed impression. D. Controversial type.
10. Which of the following contributes to Wang’s design ideas?
A. Her aspiration to be famous worldwide.
B. Her fashion educational background at ECNU.
C. Her working experiences in some European and Asian countries.
D. Her travelling experiences across ethnic regions in Yunnan Province.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. A culture back to life.
B. China’s intangible cultural heritage.
C. A China’s talented designer.
D. The application of China’s ethnic elements in fashion.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中国设计师王塔在时装秀上通过使用彝族刺绣装饰时装服饰，来宣传中国的少数民族非物质文化遗产，传播中国传统文化。换一句说，就是中国民族元素在时尚中的运用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The audience was amazed by both the beautiful and mostly hand-embroidered colorful patterns and the perfect balance of modern and traditional elements. ”（ 观众们惊叹于美丽且大多是手工刺绣的彩色图案，以及现代与传统元素的完美平衡。）可知观众为传统与现代元素的完美结合而惊叹。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段划线词上文“Intangible cultural heritages should not always be displayed in museums or only appear on souvenirs.”（非物质文化遗产不应该总是陈列在博物馆里，也不应该仅仅出现在纪念品上。）说明人们对于传统艺术在当代社会的存在价值有一些固定看法，比如它们只能放在博物馆中供人参观。可推测“I hope to break the stereotype through using the Yi embroidery and make them everyday, fashionable items, " Wang told the media after the show. "意为“我希望通过使用彝族刺绣打破这种刻板印象，让它们成为日常时尚的商品，”王晓红在展会结束后对媒体表示”由此可知，break the stereotype中的“stereotype”应该是“fixed impression”的含义。fixed impression刻板印象，符合题意。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Wang’s design ideas can be traced back to both her global experience as a fashion designer in Japan，the UK and China”（ 王的设计理念可以追溯到她在日本、英国和中国担任时装设计师的全球经历）可知，她在欧洲和亚洲一些国家的工作经历有助于她的设计理念。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Everyday wear like casual shirts, T-shirts, and jackets, embroidered (刺绣) with traditional patterns from the Yi ethnic group, staged a striking show at recent New York Fashion Week, which took place on September 4th. Chinese designer Wang Ta’s new youth collection, decorated with Yi embroidery, a Chinese intangible (无形的) cultural heritage, was a definite hit on the last night of the fashion week. ”（日常服装，如休闲衬衫、T恤和夹克，绣有彝族传统图案，在9月4日举行的纽约时装周上上演了一场引人注目的表演。中国设计师王塔（Wang Ta）的“新青年”系列以中国非物质文化遗产彝族刺绣为装饰，在时装周的最后一晚大受欢迎。）以及后文内容，可知文章介绍了中国设计师王塔在时装秀上通过使用彝族刺绣装饰时装服饰，来宣传中国的少数民族非物质文化遗产，传播中国传统文化。换一句说，就是中国民族元素在时尚中的运用。故选D项。

College debt is becoming as much of a problem for Americans close to retirement as it is for new graduates. There are now about 8. 7 million Americans aged over 50 who are still paying off college loans. They borrowed the money either to pay for an education for their children or themselves. Their debt is growing fast increasing by about half since 2017 to a total of $ 370 billion — an average of $ 40, 900 per borrower. In 2019, roughly $4.9 billion was deducted (扣除) right from retirees’ Social Security income.
"Part of the blame falls on the federally backed PLUS program,” said Tara Siegel Bernard in The New York Times. "Parent PLUS loans”, which have few application requirements other than a basic credit check, have broadened access to capital for many parents. But the “loans can be unforgiving”. William and Kate Schweizer “didn’t want their two daughters to begin their adult lives burdened with college debt”. So they borrowed $ 220, 000 for their schooling. Increasingly they had trouble paying. Now their debt has ballooned to $500, 000. The consequences of defaulting (拖欠) are serious: “The government can take their wages and Social Security.”
“Unfortunately, President Biden’s $ 6 trillion budget doesn’t offer much assistance,” said Eric Levitz in NYMag.com. “During his campaign, Biden called for forgiving $ 10, 000 in federal student loan debt for every borrower among other ways to ease the college debt burden. But the chances of passing such measures through Congress are slim.”
“Don’t bankrupt yourself for your kids,” said Beth Akers in USA Today. The safer option to pay for college is “a student loan taken out in your child’s name”. A federal student loan — not a private one — can protect borrowers through income-driven repayment programs. There is also a better chance that a loan forgiveness program could materialize to help out student borrowers. And remember that “if you overextend yourself financially to make a college dream come true for your child, you are taking away your ability to be your child’s financial backstop.”
12. How does the author illustrate his point in Paragraph 1?
A. By using quotes. B. By listing statistics.
C. By giving examples. D. By giving definitions.
13. What is the drawback of “Parent PLUS loans”?
A. They have demanding requirements.
B. They can trap parents in financial crises.
C. They are not enough to cover college costs.
D. They set limits on how much one can borrow.
14. What does Eric Levitz think of President Biden’s $ 6 trillion budget?
A. It is tight. B. It is flexible.
C. It is beneficial. D. It is impractical.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Americans Are Burdened by College Debt
B. Student Loans: A Stepping Stone to College
C. Lessons in Finance Help Repay Student Loans
D. Debt: College Costs Swallow Retirement Reserve Funds
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了许多50岁以上的美国人仍然在偿还大学债务，他们的退休金面临被扣除的风险，这可能养老这一社会现象。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。分析第一段可知，第一句话“College debt is becoming as much of a problem for Americans close to retirement as it is for new graduates.(对于即将退休的美国人和刚毕业的大学生来说，大学债务正成为一个严重的问题)”是中心句，作者给出了他的观点。然后列举大量的数字，包括负债人数，负债金额以及养老金扣除金额等，来说明大学债务正成为即将退休的美国人所面临的严重问题。由此可知，作者通过列举数据来说明他的观点，故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“the loans can be unforgiving(贷款可能是不可饶恕的)”和接下来的举例“Now their debt has ballooned to $ 500, 000. The consequences of defaulting (拖欠) are serious:"The government can take their wages and Social Security."(现在他们的债务膨胀到50万美元。违约的后果是严重的：“政府可以拿走他们的工资和社会保障。”)”可知，拖欠债务的后果严重，工资和社保会被扣除。由此推知，Parent PLUS loans的缺点是，这种贷款会使父母陷入金融危机。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段“"President Biden’s $6 trillion budget doesn’t offer much assistance," said Eric Levitz in NYMag.com. (“拜登总统的6万亿美元预算并没有提供多少援助，”纽约时报网站的Eric Levitz说)”和“But the chances of passing such measures through Congress are slim.(但是国会通过这些措施的可能性很小)”可知，拜登总统的6万亿美元预算并没有提供多少援助，且国会通过这项方案的几率很小。由此推知，Eric Levitz认为拜登总统的6万亿美元预算是不切实际的，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了许多50岁以上的美国人仍在偿还大学债务，他们的退休金面临被扣除的风险，这可能拖累养老这一社会现象。由此可知，D项“Debt: college Costs Swallow Retirement Reserve Funds(债务：大学费用吞噬了退休储蓄)”适合作文章标题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，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。
We all know about the health benefits of swimming, including building endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness. ____16____ Many people feel that swimming is very exciting and relaxing.
Cold-water swimming sometimes called wild swimming involves swimming in natural areas including ponds, rivers and the sea. Jumping in cold water gives a short sharp shock to the body. ____17____ A cold dip might wake you up, but research has found it can have much bigger benefits than those for your body and mind. As well as being good exercise cold-water swimming improves well-being.
____18____ One man who suffered constant pain after surgery claimed he was cured by taking a swim in cold open water. And another swimmer, Sandria Simons, told the BBC “the immersion of your body in cold, salt water, just feeling like you’re at one with nature if you like, just feels amazing”.
What is it that people are gaining from this cold experience? Doctors say getting into cold water makes a stress response, but the more you do it, your reaction to stress is reduced. ____19____ In addition, cold-water swimming can exercise swimmers’ willpower. But there are bigger benefits of this exercise. Some experts believe cold-water swimming helps “cross-adaptation”, where one form of stress prepares the body for another. ____20____
So, if you’re convinced that this is for you, take advice：approach it with caution, swim with a friend, and maybe start in the summer, when the water temperatures are higher.
A. Cold-water swimming can substitute medicine.
B. However, many participants say they get used to it.
C. If you don’t mind getting wet, it can be fun too.
D. It’s also thought to strengthen our digestive function.
E. We all know exercise can extend people’s life span.

【答案】16. C 17. B 18. G 19. D 20. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了冷水游泳的诸多好处，比如强身健体、提升幸福感、缓解压力、锻炼意志力等。
【16题详解】
根据上文“We all know about the health benefits of swimming, including building endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular（心血管的）fitness.”（我们都知道游泳对健康的好处，包括锻炼耐力、肌肉力量和心血管健康。）和下文“Many people feel that swimming is very exciting and relaxing.”（很多人觉得游泳很刺激，很放松。）可知，设空处应是承上启下的句子，继续补充说明游泳带来的好处，尤其是精神层面的。结合选项可知，C项“如果你不介意身上变湿，那也会很有趣。”切题。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Jumping in cold water gives a short sharp shock to the body.”（跳入冷水中会对身体造成短的剧烈冲击。）和下文“A cold dip might wake you up, but research has found it can have much bigger benefits than those for your body and mind”（跳入冷水可能会让你清醒，但研究发现，冷水游泳对你的身心有更大的好处。）由此可推知，设空处与上文构成转折，表明冷水游泳虽冷，但许多参与者都已经习惯了冷水游泳，承接下文讲冷水游泳的好处，结合选项可知，B项“然而，许多参与者说他们已经习惯了。”切题。故选B项。
【18题详解】
设空处位于本段段首，应为本段的主题句。根据下文“One man who suffered constant pain after surgery claimed he was cured by taking a swim in cold open water. And another swimmer, Sandria Simons, told the BBC “the immersion of your body in cold, salt water, just feeling like you’re at one with nature if you like, just feels amazing”.”（一名在手术后饱受疼痛折磨的男子声称，他在冰冷的公开水域游泳后就痊愈了。另一名游泳运动员桑德里亚·西蒙斯告诉BBC，“你的身体沉浸在冰冷的咸水中，感觉就像你与大自然融为一体，这感觉太棒了。）可知，本段主要说明冷水游泳可以治愈某些人的健康问题。故G项“冷水游泳是一剂良药。”能够概括本段的主要内容，切题。古选G项。
【19题详解】
根据设空处上文中的“Doctors say getting into cold water makes a stress response, but the more you do it, your reaction to stress is reduced.”（医生说进入冷水会产生压力反应，但是你做得越多，你对压力的反应就会减少。）以及下文中的“In addition，cold-water swimming can exercise swimmers' willpower. ”（此外，冷水游泳可以锻炼游泳者的意志力。）可知，设空处应是继续介绍冷水游泳的其他好处，D项“它也被认为能够增强我们的消化功能。”切题。故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Some experts believe cold-water swimming helps “cross-adaptation”, where one form of stress prepares the body for another.”（一些专家认为冷水游泳有利于交叉适应，即一种压力使身体为另一种压力做好准备。）可知，这个表述显然有些抽象，F项“例如，它有助于减少在高海拔运动的压力。”正好对此讲行举例说明，切题。故选F项。

【41题详解】

【答案】1.a→an
2. eaten→eating
3. Others→Other
4. embarrassing→embarrassed

6. come→came

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，儿子带年迈的父亲到饭店吃饭，期间父亲把饭掉到衬衫和裤子上，其他客人感到厌恶，但儿子并不感到尴尬，而是耐心细致地替父亲收拾残局，儿子的所作所为给每个儿子上了一课，也给每位父亲留下希望。
【详解】1. 考查冠词。句意：一个儿子带着他的老父亲去一家餐馆吃晚饭。此处泛指“一顿晚餐”，evening以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an表泛指。故将a改为an。
2. 考查现在分词。句意：父亲年老体弱，吃饭时把食物掉在衬衫和裤子上。此处是while引导的时间状语从句的省略，当状语从句主语和主句主语一致且从句中含有be动词时，可省略从句主语和be动词，本从句省略了he was，eat用现在分词（doing）形式表主动进行，原句为：while he was eating。故将eaten改为eating。
3. 考查代词。句意：当他儿子平静下来时，其他用餐者厌恶地看着他。此处用代词other (其他的)作定语，修饰名词diners，others (其他的人)用作名词。故将Others改为Other。
4. 考查-ed形容词和-ing形容词。句意：他吃完后，儿子毫不尴尬地悄悄地把他带到盥洗室，把污渍洗掉，梳了梳头发。修饰形容人用-ed形容词，修饰形容词物用-ing形容词，此处用-ed形容词embarrassed作表语，修饰人his son。故将embarrassing改为embarrassed。
5. 考查连词。句意：他吃完后，儿子毫不尴尬地悄悄地把他带到盥洗室，把污渍洗掉，梳了梳头发。动词短语quietly took him to the wash room，removed the stains和combed his hair是并列关系，用并列连词and。故在combed前面加and。
6. 考查时态。句意：当他们出来的时候，整个餐厅都在死寂中看着他们，无法理解有人怎么会那样当众让自己难堪。本文讲述过去发生的事，come时态用一般过去时。故将come改为came。
7. 考查名词。句意：当他们出来的时候，整个餐厅都在死寂中看着他们，无法理解有人怎么会那样当众让自己难堪。介词in后用名词silence作宾语，in silence (默默地)，in dead silence (鸦雀无声)。故将silent改为silence。
8. 考查固定搭配。句意：儿子结清了账单，开始和父亲出去散步。固定搭配walk out (走出)符合句意。故将in改为out。
9. 考查句型结构。句意：当时，用餐者中一位老人对儿子喊道：“谢谢你给每个儿子留下了教训，给每个父亲留下了希望。”本句是一个主谓宾结构，并没有定语从句，主语是an old man among the diners，谓语是called out to，宾语是the son，who多余。故去掉who。
10. 考查固定搭配。句意：当时，用餐者中的一位老人对儿子喊道：“谢谢你给每个儿子留下了教训，给每个父亲留下了希望。” 固定搭配Thank sb. for doing sth. (感谢某人做了某事)符合句意。故将to改为for。
