has always been a source（来源）of inspiration for designers,says Amanda Hill,chief creative officer at A+E Networks,a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion（时尚）shows.Earlier this year,the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art,with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics（美学）on专题一专题一 阅读理解阅读理解题组十题组十（）Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.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,not 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 Galliano,Albaz,Marc Jacobs and beating them hands down in design and sales,adds Hill.专题一专题一 阅读理解阅读理解题组十题组十（）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.专题一专题一 阅读理解阅读理解题组十题组十（）1.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?()BA.It promoted the sales of artworks.B.It attracted a large number of

America,usually$8 to$10 a year.Today$8 or$10 seems a small amount of money,but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens.Accordingly,newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades.In addition,most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience.They were dull and visually forbidding.But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.The trend,then,was toward the penny paper a term referring to papers made widely available to the public.It meant any inexpensive newspaper;perhaps专题一专题一 阅读理解阅读理解题组十题组十（）more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place overnight.It had been possible（but not easy）to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printers office to purchase a copy.Street sales were almost unknown.However,within a few years,street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities.At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny usually two or three cents was charged and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents.But the phrase penny paper caught the publics fancy,and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.专题一专题一 阅读理解阅读理解题组十题组十（）This new trend of newspapers for the man on the street did not begin well.Some of the early ventures（企业）were immediate failures.Publishers already in business,people who were owners of successful papers,had little desire to change the tradition.It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.专题一专题一 阅读理解阅读理解题组十题组十（）1.Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the

higher.B.They would disappear from cities.C.They could have more readers.D.They could regain public trust.解析 推理判断题。根据第二段首句 The trend,then,was toward the penny paper a term referring to papers made widely available to the public以及第三段中的However,within a few years,street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities可知，便士报指的是公众可广泛购得的报纸，便士报有更多的读者，而正是街头销售使其变得随处可见。专题一专题一 阅读理解阅读理解题组十题组十（）3.Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?()BA.Local politicians.B.Common people.C.Young publishers.D.Rich businessmen.解析 细节理解题。第四段首句 This new trend of newspapers for the man on the street did not begin well中的 the man on the street指普通人。故选B。专题一专题一 阅读理解阅读理解题组十题组十（）4.What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?()AA.It was a difficult process.B.It was a temporary success.C.It was a robbery of the poor.D.It was a disaster for printers.解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的This development did not take place overnight.It had been possible（but not easy）to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printers office to purchase a copy及第四段的内容可知，便士报的发展变化绝非发生在一夜之间，而是经历了一个艰难的过程。故选A。文章只是描述了便士报当时的状况，并未对其作出成功与否的评价，故B项错误；C和D选项均曲解了文意。解读：本文讲述了19世纪上半叶美国报业的发展变化。
