On March 6, the 2024 Duyin E-cmmerce Female Cnsumer Trend Data Reprt revealed that in 2023 the rder vlume f hrse faced skirts -a type f hanfu, the traditinal style f clthing wrn by the Han peple-amng female users n Duyin skyrcketed by 841 percent cmpared t the previus year.
"I've nticed that there are s many peple wearing hrse-faced skirts n the streets nw, frm yung wmen t children; it's unbelievable, " said Wang Zicheng, a 23-year-ld hanfu enthusiast.
He recalled that when he wre hanfu fr the first time in 2018 at his cming-f-age ceremny, it was still a minrity interest. Nw, he is cnfident wearing it everywhere, even utside f China.
As hanfu gains ppularity, traditinal attire （服装）and mdern fashin are merging （融合）， influencing nt nly clthing styles but als cultural perceptins and peple's understanding.
Sme hanfu enthusiasts argue that each design and structural frm f hanfu carries distinct histrical and cultural significance, insisting that these details shuld be adhered t（遵循） strictly. Hwever, ther cnsumers priritize the aesthetics （美学） and cmfrt f the clthing.
Zhu Shuang, 37, specializes in character styling fr film and televisin. She pinted ut that fr thse unfamiliar with traditinal clthing culture, it's understandable fr them t desire a mixture f classical elegance with mdern fashin.
This cmbinatin is referred t as the ne-Chinese style. "Ne-Chinese style clthing design desn't merely layer traditinal elements, but cmbines mdernity and traditin naturally, "explained Zhu. "It aims t shwcase traditinal charm that resnates with （与…产 生共鸣）the aesthetic preferences f tday's Chinese. "
Despite the grwing hanfu trend in China, there remains a lack f understanding amng peple abrad. Accrding t Wang, he traveled t a dzen cuntries while wearing hanfu.
"They guessed abut the rigin f my clthes…, but nne crrectly identified that it's frm China, "Wang said. He believed this is because peple in ther cuntries have few chances t see authentic hanfu clthes and accessries.
A ptential slutin culd be integrating hanfu int everyday attire. Indeed, Zhu's students are currently explring ways t preserve hanfu's cultural heritage while accmmdating the demands f daily fashin chices.
24. What des Wang Zicheng's experience detailed in paragraphs 2-3 reflect?
A. The diversity f hanfu enthusiasts.
B. The cultural significance f hanfu.
C. The reasns fr hanfu's ppularity.
D. The increasing recgnitin f hanfu.
25. Accrding t Wang, why was his hanfu nt crrectly identified when he was traveling?
A. His hanfu did nt represent a typical style.
B. Western turists shw little interest in hanfu.
C. Peple abrad were unfamiliar with hanfu culture.
D. Hanfu has mixed clthing styles frm ther cuntries.
26. What are Zhu's students ding nw?
A. Cperating with daily fashin designers.
B. Prtecting traditinal hanfu in a mdern way.
C. Prmting traditinal Chinese clthing abrad.
D. Studying the histrical evlutin f the hanfu style.
27. What is the best title fr the passage?
A. Hanfu: Reshaping Mdern Fashin
B. Ancient Fashin: The Frgtten Beauty f Hanfu
C. Hanfu: An Evlutinary Jurney Thrugh Centuries
D. Hanfu vs. Mdern Fashin: A Symbl f Chinese Natinalism

In a recent study f healthy vlunteers, Natinal Institutes f Health researchers discvered that ur brains may replay memries f learning new skills when we rest.
NIH researchers have mapped ut the brain activity that flws when we learn a new skill, such as playing a new sng n the pian, and fund that during shrt rest the vlunteers' brains rapidly and repeatedly replayed faster versins f the activity seen while they practiced typing a cde. The mre a vlunteer replayed the activity the better they perfrmed during subsequent practice sessins.
The study was cnducted at the NIIH Clinical Center. The team f Dr. Chen, M. D. , senir investigatr at the NIH's Natinal Institute f Neurlgical Disrders and Strke （NINDS）, used a highly sensitive scanning technique t recrd the brain waves f 33 healthy, right-handed vlunteers as they learned t type a five-digit test cde with their left hands. The subjects sat in a chair and under the scanner's lng, cne-shaped cap. An experiment began when a subject was shwn the cde"41234" n a screen and asked t type it ut as many times as pssible fr 10 secnds and then take a 10 secnd break. Subjects were asked t repeat this cycle f alternating （交替的） practice and rest sessins a ttal f 35 times.
During the first few trials, the speed at which subjects crrectly typed the cde imprved dramatically and then leveled ff arund the 11th cycle. In a previus study, Dr. Chen's team shwed that mst f these gains happened during shrt rests, and nt when the subjects were typing. Mrever, the gains were greater than thse made after a night's sleep and were related with a decrease in the size f brain waves, called beta rhythms. In this new reprt, the researchers searched fr smething different in the subjects' brain waves.
"We wanted t explre the mechanisms （机制） behind memry strengthening seen during wakeful rest. Several frms f memry appear t rely n the replaying f neural（神经的） activity, s we decided t test this idea ut fr prcedural skill learning, " said Ethan R. Buch, Ph. D. , a staff scientist n Dr. Chen's team and leader f the study. T d this, Dr. Buch develped a cmputer prgram which allwed the team t understand the brain wave activity assciated with typing each number in the test cde.
Interestingly, they fund that the mre a vlunteer replayed, the better their perfrmance was. "We were a bit surprised by these last results. Overall, ur results supprt the idea that the replay activity during waking rest may be a pwerful tl that researchers can use t help individuals learn new skills faster and pssibly facilitate recvery frm strke. " said Dr. Chen.
28. What have NIH researchers recently fund?
A. The brain activity slwly flws when we learn a new skill.
B. The value f shrt practice sessins can't be verestimated.
C. Shrt rest makes n difference t the neural replay f the activity.
D. The frequency f brain replay cntributes t practice perfrmances.
29. What is mainly talked abut in Paragraph 3?
A. The prcess f the research.
B. The facilities f the research.
C. The applicatin f the research.
D. The preparatins f the research.
30. Why did Dr. Buch develp a cmputer prgram?
A. T distinguish the first 11 cycles frm the later nes.
B. T cnfirm the rle f neural replay in skill learning.
C. T explre the ptential effects f prcedural learning.
D. T find ut the reasns fr the changes in brain waves.
31. What des Dr. Chen think f the research findings?
A. Acceptable.
B. Prmising.
C. Shallw.
D. Dismissive.

Psychlgists have lng been in disagreement as t whether cmpetitin is a learned r a genetic cmpnent f human behavir. Whatever it is, yu cannt but recgnize the effect cmpetitin has n academics and many ther areas f cntemprary life.
Psychlgically speaking, cmpetitin has been seen as an unavidable cnsequence f human drives. Accrding t Sigmund Freud, humans are brn screaming fr attentin and full f rganic drives fr fulfillment in varius areas. Initially, we cmpete fr the attentin f ur parents.
Current wrk in anthrplgy （人类学） has suggested, hwever, that this view f the rle f cmpetitin in human behavir may be a fallacy. Thmas Hbbes, ne f the great philsphers f the seventeenth century, is perhaps best remembered fr his characterizatin f the "natural wrld", that is, the wrld befre the intrductin f the will f humanity, as being unpleasant and shrt. This pinin is still widely held, reinfrced by Charles Darwin's highly influential wrk, The Origin f Species, which established the dctrine （学说） f natural selectin. Darwin's thery has even been summarized as "survival f the fittest"-a phrase Darwin himself never used-further highlighting cmpetitin's rle in success. As it has ften been pinted ut, hwever, there is nthing in the cncept f natural selectin that suggests that cmpetitin is the mst successful strategy fr "survival f the fittest". Darwin said in The Origin f Species that the struggles he was describing shuld be viewed as metaphrs and culdn't be separated frm dependence and cperatin.
Many studies have been cnducted t test the imprtance placed n cmpetitin rather than ther values, such as cperatin, and generally cnclude that Americans uniquely praise cmpetitin as natural, unavidable, and desirable. In 1937, the wrld-renwned anthrplgist Margaret Mead published Cperatin and Cmpetitin amng Primitive Peples, based n her studies f several scieties that did nt prize cmpetitin, and, in fact, seemed at times t place a negative value n it. One such sciety was the Zuni Indians f Arizna, and they, Mead fund, valued cperatin far mre than cmpetitin. After studying dzens f such cultures, Mead's final cnclusin was that cmpetitiveness is a culturally created aspect f human behavir, and that its ppularity in a particular sciety is relative t hw that sciety values it.
32. What des the authr think is cmmnly seen in many areas f cntemprary life?
A. The rigin f human drives.
B. The influence f cmpetitin.
C. The reasns fr human behaviur.
D. The disagreement n cmpetitin.
33. What des the underlined wrds "a fallacy" in the secnd paragraph mean?
A. A false idea.
B. A hard nut.
C. A lsing battle.
D. A mixed blessing.
34. What can we learn frm Darwin's wrds in The Origin f Species?
A. All species depend n thers fr survival.
B. The strngest species prves t be the fittest.
C. Struggles fr survival include supprt f each ther.
D. Cmpetitin is lked n as the best survival strategy.
35. What cnclusin did Margaret Mead reach?
A. It is characteristic f humans t be cmpetitive.
B. Americans are uniquely ppsed t cperatin.
C. Cmpetitin is relatively mre ppular in Western scieties.
D. Peple's attitude twards cmpetitin is actually culture-bund.
