五、传统文化阅读理解。
Do you know horse-face skirts? These Chinese skirts are from the Song dynasty. They have beautiful patterns(图案) and folds(褶) on both sides. And there are openings in the front and back of the skirts.
In the Song dynasty, women wore horse-face skirts when they rode donkeys. The openings made it
convenient for women to get on and off them. It was difficult for them to ride donkeys without these openings. In the next hundreds of years, these skirts became more and more beautiful. In 2022, many hanfu lovers started to spread(传播) the culture of the skirts. This helped more people learn about traditional Chinese clothes. "For us, wearing the skirts is not just for fashion," said Mao, one of the hanfu lovers. "It also shows our love for Chinese culture."
Now the skirts become more popular. Many famous Chinese people wear them in some international events. People in other countries like these skirts too. Many people in other countries buy the skirts from China. A report shows users from more than 90 countries share something about the skirts on short video apps!
Besides the skirts, the "new Chinese-style" clothes are also a hot topic. We can see traditional Chinese symbols and modern fashion on these clothes. They win the hearts of many people around the world. All these show that we are becoming more confident(自信的) in our own culture.

【分析】
第1题是图片理解题,需依据原文对马面裙的特征描述匹配对应图片;第2题是词义猜测题,需结合上下文语境推断划线词含义;第3题是细节理解题,需定位原文中宋朝妇女穿马面裙的原因,选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 根据原文第一段对马面裙的描述:“They have beautiful patterns (图案) and folds (褶) on both sides. And there are openings in the front and back of the skirts.”,对比选项图片,A选项的裙子两侧有图案和褶皱,符合马面裙的特征,故选A。
2. 划线词所在句前文提到“The openings made it convenient for women to get on and off them.”,后文又指出“It was difficult for them to ride donkeys without these openings.”,由此可知开口让女士上下驴变得容易,故“convenient”意为“容易的”,对应A选项。
3. 根据原文第二段“In the Song dynasty, women wore horse-face skirts when they rode donkeys.”可知,宋朝妇女穿马面裙是为了骑驴,故选C。
