26、If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. A new trend is taking hold in China — guochao, or “China-chic”.

It means the rise of China’s native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of “Made in China”, which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture offered by homegrown Chinese brands. China chic came into the spotlight in 2018. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a fashionable look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately obtained attention at home and abroad. As a result, the company recorded 20 percent income growth in 2018, marking the first time the brand had hit the 10-billion-yuan mark since its founding.

Since then, the trend to hug home brands has spread rapidly to various sectors (领域) and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its milk, cosmetics (化妆品) and so on. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” said Shen Qinfeng, the company’s marketing manager.

This March, several Western brands refused to use Xinjiang cotton. To show national pride and cultural confidence, the “I support Xinjiang cotton” campaign spread across the country, Many Chinese turned to Chinese home brands that support Xinjiang cotton, like Li-Ning and Anta. No matter how the guochao trend changes, there’s one thing that won’t change; Behind the story is people’s positive attitude toward the country’s development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture.

27、   Two years ago, Kursat Ceylan was in New York to give a talk about disability rights. Blind since birth, the Turkish businessman was struggling to find his hotel, holding a cane (手杖) in one hand and pulling his luggage with the other while trying to get GPS directions from his phone.“Not surprisingly, all ofa sudden I hit a pole," he says. While the cane can tell you what's on the ground, it doesn' t help with objects at the body or head level. It wasn' t the first time Ceylan had run into something, injuring himself.

With WeWALK, a new smart cane, Ceylan hopes to help blind people navigate (设法穿越) their environments more easily. The cane can tell users what's around them. A sensor detects objects at the body or head level and gives a warning vibration (振动). WeWALK users pair the cane with their smartphones and then use the cane's touchpad to access features like voice assistant or navigation.

In the future, Ceylan hopes to connect WeWALK with public transportation and ridesharing services. That way it could tell the user the number of the bus coming down the street or the license plate of the Uber stopping at the roadside. The cane will update with new features as they come online, much the way smartphones do.

Ceylan believes WeWALK can help blind people achieve greater freedom of movement, which will give them greater access to education and jobs. Blind people are less likely to complete higher education and have higher rates of unemployment.“WeWALK is not just a smart cane for us," he says. "It is a movement to increase full and equal participation in social life. "

The cane is already having an impact on users, Ceylan says. He recently received an email from a teacher who had become blind as an adult. He had been depressed, he wrote. But since getting a WeWALK cane,“'It became my antidepressant,' he wrote," Ceylan recalls. "This is the most important feedback that we got," Ceylan says. “We saw that we are touching the real problem."

【1】Why is Ceylan' s experience mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A.To support disability rights. B.To call for care for the blind.

C.To show the problem with the cane. D.To prove the competence of the blind.

【2】What can WeWALK do now?

A.Issue features online. B.Identify the bus numbers.

C.Book a ridesharing service. D.Warn users of higher barriers.

【3】How can WeWALK benefit the blind according to Paragraph 4?

A.It helps them fit into society. B.It guarantees them a good job.

C.It enables them to enjoy a smart life. D.It allows them to receive special education.

【4】How might Ceylan feel after reading the teacher’s email?

A.Doubtful. B.Curious. C.Proud. D.Dissatisfied.

28、“Welcome to the U.S.A.! Major Credit cards accepted!”

By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched mass longing for a better living. These are the wealthy. “We don’t have a budget,” says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City’s South Street. “We just use our credit cards.”

The U.S. has long been one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional. First there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every corner of the globe; then came the weakening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies. Now the U.S. still the world’s superpower, can also claim to be the world’s bargain electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Nobody undersells America. Bottom retail prices - anywhere from 30% to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia - have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $79 billion in 1994.

That’s up from $74 billion the year before.

True, not everyone comes just for bargains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and U.S. television series. But shopping in the U.S.A. is proving irresistible. Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellow Stone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.

The U.S. has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the U.S. needs all the deposits it can get. Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the U.S. stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 nights and $1624 a traveler versus the Americans’ four nights and $298.

【1】From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her ________.

A．are not good at planning their expenditure

B．simply don’t care how much they spend

C．are reluctant to carry cash with them

D．often spend more money than they can afford

【2】The reason why 1994 was exceptional is that ________.

A．it witnessed a drop in the number of tourists to the U.S.

B．it saw an unusually large number of tourists to the U.S.

C．tourism was hardly affected by the weakening of the U.S. dollar that year

D．tourists came to the U.S. for sightseeing rather than for bargains that year

【3】By saying “nobody undersells America” (Para.3), the author means that ________.

A．no other country underestimates the competitiveness of American products

B．nobody restrains the selling of American goods

C．nobody expects the Americans to cut the prices of their commodities

D．no other country sells at a lower price than America

【4】From the passage we can conclude that the U.S. has come to realize ________.

A．the weakening if the U.S. dollar can result in trade deficits

B．tourism can make great contributions to its economy

C．the lower the retail prices, the greater the profits

D．visitors to the U.S. are wealthier than U.S. tourists abroad
