Report revealed that in 2023 the order volume of horse faced skirts-a type of hanfu,the traditional style of clothing worn by the Han people-among female users on Douyin skyrocketed by 841 percent compared to the previous year.Ive noticed that there are so many people wearing horse-faced skirts on the streets now,from young women to children;its unbelievable,said Wang Zicheng,a 23-year-old hanfu enthusiast.He recalled that when he wore hanfu for the first time in 2018 at his coming-of-age ceremony,it was still a minority interest.Now,he is confident wearing it everywhere,even outside of China.As hanfu gains popularity,traditional attire（服装）and modern fashion are merging（融合），influencing not only clothing styles but also cultural perceptions and peoples understanding.Some hanfu enthusiasts argue that each design and structural form of hanfu carries distinct historical and cultural significance,insisting that these details should be adhered to（遵循）strictly.However,other consumers prioritize the aesthetics（美学）and comfort of the clothing.Zhou Shuang,37,specializes in character styling for film and television.She pointed out that for those unfamiliar with traditional clothing culture,its understandable for them to desire a mixture of classical elegance with modern fashion.This combination is referred to as the neo-Chinese style.Neo-Chinese style clothing design doesnt merely layer traditional elements,but combines modernity and tradition naturally,explained Zhou.It aims to showcase traditional charm that resonates with（与产 生共鸣）the aesthetic preferences of todays Chinese.Despite the growing hanfu trend in China,there remains a lack of understanding among people abroad.According to Wang,he traveled to a dozen countries while wearing hanfu.They guessed about the origin of my clothes,but none correctly identified that its from China,Wang said.He believed this is because people in other countries have few chances to see authentic hanfu clothes and accessories.A potential solution could be integrating hanfu into everyday attire.Indeed,Zhous students are currently exploring ways to preserve hanfus cultural heritage while accommodating the demands of daily fashion choices.24.What does Wang Zichengs experience detailed in paragraphs 2-3 reflect?A.The diversity of hanfu enthusiasts.B.The cultural significance of hanfu.C.The reasons for hanfus popularity.D.The increasing recognition of hanfu.25.According to Wang,why was his hanfu not correctly identified when he was traveling?A.His hanfu did not represent a typical style.B.Western tourists show little interest in hanfu.C.People abroad were unfamiliar with hanfu culture.D.Hanfu has mixed clothing styles from other countries.26.What are Zhous students doing now?A.Cooperating with daily fashion designers.B.Protecting traditional hanfu in a modern way.C.Promoting traditional Chinese clothing abroad.D.Studying the historical evolution of the hanfu style.27.What is the best title for the passage?A.Hanfu:Reshaping Modern FashionB.Ancient Fashion:The Forgotten Beauty of HanfuC.Hanfu:An Evolutionary Journey Through CenturiesD.Hanfu vs.Modern Fashion:A Symbol of Chinese NationalismC In a recent study of healthy volunteers,National Institutes of Health researchers discovered that our brains may replay memories of learning new skills when we rest.NIH researchers have mapped out the brain activity that flows when we learn a new skill,such as playing a new song on the piano,and found that during short rest the volunteers brains rapidly and repeatedly replayed faster versions of the activity seen while they practiced typing a code.The more a volunteer replayed the activity the better they performed during subsequent practice sessions.The study was conducted at the NIIH Clinical Center.The team of Dr.Cohen,M.D.,senior investigator at the NIHs National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke（NINDS）,used a highly sensitive scanning technique to record the brain waves of 33 healthy,right-handed volunteers as they learned to type a five-digit test code with their left hands.The subjects sat in a chair and under the scanners long,cone-shaped cap.An experiment began when a subject was shown the code41234 on a screen and asked to type it out as many times as possible for 10 seconds and then take a 10 second break.Subjects were asked to repeat this cycle of alternating（交替的）practice and rest sessions a total of 35 times.During the first few trials,the speed at which subjects correctly typed the code improved dramatically and then leveled off around the 11th cycle.In a previous study,Dr.Cohens team showed that most of these gains happened during short rests,and not when the subjects were typing.Moreover,the gains were greater than those made after a nights sleep and were related with a decrease in the size of brain waves,called beta rhythms.In this new report,the researchers searched for something different in the subjects brain waves.We wanted to explore the mechanisms（机制）behind memory strengthening seen during wakeful rest.Several forms of memory appear to rely on the replaying of neural（神经的）activity,so we decided to test this idea out for procedural skill learning,said Ethan R.Buch,Ph.D.,a staff scientist on Dr.Cohens team and leader of the study.To do this,Dr.Buch developed a computer program which allowed the team to understand the brain wave activity associated with typing each number in the test code.Interestingly,they found that the more a volunteer replayed,the better their performance was.We were a bit surprised by these last results.Overall,our results support the idea that the replay activity during waking rest may be a powerful tool that researchers can use to help individuals learn new skills faster and possibly facilitate recovery from stroke.said Dr.Cohen.28.What have NIH researchers recently found?A.The brain activity slowly flows when we learn a new skill.B.The value of short practice sessions cant be overestimated.C.Short rest makes no difference to the neural replay of the activity.D.The frequency of brain replay contributes to practice performances.29.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A.The process of the research.B.The facilities of the research.C.The application of the research.D.The preparations of the research.30.Why did Dr.Buch develop a computer program?A.To distinguish the first 11 cycles from the later ones.B.To confirm the role of neural replay in skill learning.C.To explore the potential effects of procedural learning.D.To find out the reasons for the changes in brain waves.31.What does Dr.Cohen think of the research findings?A.Acceptable.B.Promising.C.Shallow.D.Dismissive.DPsychologists have long been in disagreement as to whether competition is a learned or a genetic component of human behavior.Whatever it is,you cannot but recognize the effect competition has on academics and many other areas of contemporary life.Psychologically speaking,competition has been seen as an unavoidable consequence of human drives.According to Sigmund Freud,humans are born screaming for attention and full of organic drives for fulfillment in various areas.Initially,we compete for the attention of our parents.Current work in anthropology（人类学）has suggested,however,that this view of the role of competition in human behavior may be a fallacy.Thomas Hobbes,one of the great philosophers of the seventeenth century,is perhaps best remembered for his characterization of the natural world,that is,the world before the introduction of the will of humanity,as being unpleasant and short.This opinion is still widely held,reinforced by Charles Darwins highly influential work,The Origin of Species,which established the doctrine（学说）of natural selection.Darwins theory has even been summarized as survival of the fittest-a phrase Darwin himself never used-further highlighting competitions role in success.As it has often been pointed out,however,there is nothing in the concept of natural selection that suggests that competition is the most successful strategy for survival of the fittest.Darwin said in The Origin of Species that the struggles he was describing should be viewed as metaphors and couldnt be separated from dependence and cooperation.Many studies have been conducted to test the importance placed on competition rather than other values,such as cooperation,and generally conclude that Americans uniquely praise competition as natural,unavoidable,and desirable.In 1937,the world-renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead published Cooperation and Competition among Primitive Peoples,based on her studies of several societies that did not prize competition,and,in fact,seemed at times to place a negative value on it.One such society was the Zuni Indians of Arizona,and they,Mead found,valued cooperation far more than competition.After studying dozens of such cultures,Meads final conclusion was that competitiveness is a culturally created aspect of human behavior,and that its popularity in a particular society is relative to how that society values it.32.What does the author think is commonly seen in many areas of contemporary life?A.The origin of human drives.B.The influence of competition.C.The reasons for human behaviour.D.The disagreement on competition.33.What does the underlined words a fallacy in the second paragraph mean?A.A false idea.B.A hard nut.C.A losing battle.D.A mixed blessing.34.What can we learn from Darwins words in The Origin of Species?A.All species depend on others for survival.B.The strongest species proves to be the fittest.C.Struggles for survival include support of each other.D.Competition is looked on as the best survival strategy.35.What conclusion did Margaret Mead reach?A.It is characteristic of humans to be competitive.B.Americans are uniquely opposed to cooperation.C.Competition is relatively more popular in Western societies.D.Peoples attitude towards competition is actually culture-bound.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Life is an adventure,and going to college is one of the most exciting but challenging experiences for
