For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”

UNIT 2　BRIDGING CULTURES
高考真题练
◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国文化和中国美学对国际时尚的影响。
1.B　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“The exhibition had record attendance”可知,此次展览的出席人数创下了新的纪录。故选B。
2.A　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement”可知,Hill认为中国女性不仅仅是时尚的消费者——她们是时尚运动的核心,因此中国女性在开创时尚这一说法是正确的。故选A。
3.D　词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“beating them hands down in design and sales(在设计和销量上很容易地打败了他们)”可知,Vera Wang、Alexander Wang和Jason Wu 正在与Galliano、Albaz和Marc Jacobs竞争。由此推测taking on意为“与……竞争”。故选D。
4.D　主旨大意题。本文第一段讲了中国及其文化是西方设计界的灵感来源之一;第二段和第三段进一步解释了中国文化对西方时尚界的影响;第四段介绍了中国女性对时尚界的影响;最后一段Hill总结了中国在国际时尚界的巨大影响。因此D项“中国文化推动国际流行趋势”适合作为本文标题。故选D。

长难句
原句　Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.
分析　本句为主从复合句。that引导定语从句,修饰先行词fashion campaigns;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个主句的内容;句中的破折号起进一步解释说明的作用。
译文　中国模特是美丽和时尚活动的代言人,这些活动向全世界的女性推销梦想,这意味着中国女性不仅仅是时尚的消费者——她们是时尚活动的核心。
