25、One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held a sign which said, “I am blind. Please help me.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign and turned it over, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. More and more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?” The man said, “ I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.” What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.

27、“Made in China” is having its moment now and it’s a fashionable one.

The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sports shoe brands, suddenly got international attention. Their products were seen all over the world. Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs—sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters.

Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers’ eye by low price. He told CNN, “They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands.”

Maybe it is because China’s young people are now more confident about their own culture. They don’t show immediate interest in Western culture any more.

“Today’s young people in China are crazy about Chinese cultural elements（元素）.” Jin Qu, the manager of a clothing shopping website, said at a cultural festival in 2018. “They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand picture of Laoganma in China, which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people take pride in these Chinese symbols.”

In fact, many stars in the West take an interest in Chinese cultural elements in fashion now. Rihanna, a US singer, for example, wore a Chinese red dress to the 2015 Met Gala in New York. The dress was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei.

“We have to move from making to creating.” Chinese-American designer Aric Chen once told The New York Times. “We want to replace the words ‘Made in China’ with ‘Designed in China’.”

【1】The new designs of Li Ning Company in September, 2018 were _________.

A．coats and scarves in Chinese red

B．sweaters and jackets with English words

C．coats and scarves with American symbols

D．sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters

【2】The underlined word “They” in paragraph 5 refers to _________.

A．some famous stars in the West

B．the workers in Jin Qu’s shop

C．today’s young people in China

D．directors of some Chinese companies

【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “replace”?

A．放置

B．代替

C．翻译

D．创作

【4】The passage above may be taken from a(n) __________.

A．newspaper

B．guidebook

C．novel

D．ad

【5】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Chinese Clothes Brands

B．Sports in China

C．Chinese Cultural Festival

D．Designed in China

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。

It’s unusual to see a person inspire (激发) a new word. But that’s what Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has got. “Stay awesome and ZHUperb!” Volleywood, a US-based blog website for volleyball fans, r【1】 created the word “ZHUperb”, which puts “Zhu” and “superb” together, to describe the 25-year-old volleyball player.

Zhu Ting is also considered to be a national h【2】in China. She helped the national volleyball team win gold medals at the 2015 FIVB World Cup, 2015 Asian Women’s Volleyball Championship, and 2016 Rio Olympic Games. In September this year she a【3】 helped the team win gold medals at the 2019 FIVB World Cup.

At a young age Zhu is captain of china women’s national volleyball team. But it hasn’t been e【4】 for Zhu to get to where she is today.

Born in a farming family in Henan Province, Zhu got a hard-won chance to a【5】 a local sports school at the age of 13. She got homesick during the first few months of training. But later she got over it, and made p【6】week on week. She quickly moved from the provincial youth team to the national youth team.

In 2013 she became famous by helping the Chinese U20 team to win the title at the 2013 FIVB U20 World Championship. Then Zhu was c【7】 into the national team and met the famous coach Lang Ping.

At the beginning because of her 1.98-meter h【8】, Zhu found it difficult to move fast and hold her weight on her feet. But Lang e【9】 her to take advantage of that; she trained her to jump high to smash the ball. After this she became an ace spiker (主攻手).

Zhu still works hard during training. “Hard work and talent (天赋) are b【10】 important I’ll move forward step by step,” she told People’s Daily.
