五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分）
阅读短文，回答下面5个问题，将答案写在横线上。（每题答案不超过10个词）
Fashion trends(趋势) are around us, and can be exciting. A trend used to happen in a 20-year cycle, but the latest development of the Internet and clothing business has increasingly cut the length of the cycle short. Now, it seems there comes a new fashion trend every couple of months, but it still follows the same stages:
● A trend is usually first brought in during a big fashion show. Reporters, writers, and some other important people collect what they have learned in the show and predict a trend in the near future.
● Then the trend is talked about online and finally worn by famous people to make it better accepted, which leads to the rise of the trend.
● Once the trend becomes popular, it will go to the public soon. Large clothing companies and shops begin following the trend so that everyone can get their hands on it. This is when the trend gets to the highest point.
● After that, the trend usually falls and becomes out of date. However, this is not always the end, as trends happen in broader cycles and most get popular again.
Trends can be a great way to try something new and test your style. A survey says some people enjoy following trends because they keep fashion exciting and provide fresh ideas. However, others may not think so, especially when a trend doesn’t agree with how they feel about themselves. Trends can be fun, but sometimes prove a waste of money because many simply see trends as brands(品牌). So, should we follow fashion trends?
Clearly, there’s no right answer—whether to follow trends or not depends on how they go with your values, spending, and sense of self. It does not hurt to watch trend reports but never choose to follow them unless you really think they fit withyour personal style.
56. How long does a new fashion trend last now?
57. Who usually first realizes a newfashion trend?
58. Which situation means the trend has reached the highest point?
59. Why do some people dislike following trends according to the survey?
60. Do you prefer brands when buying clothes? Why or why not?

答案： 五、文体：说明文
文章大意：本文主要介绍了时尚趋势的周期变化、传播阶段以及人们对追随潮流的两种态度，最后提出是否追随潮流取决于个人价值观和风格的匹配。
56 Every couple of months. 根据第一段中“Now，it seems there comes a new fashion trend every couple of months”可知，现在时尚趋势每隔几个月就会出现一次。
57 Reporters，writers，and some other important people. 根据第二段“A trend is usually first brought in ... and predict a trend in the near future.”可知，最先意识到新时尚趋势的是记者、作家和一些重要人物。
58 Everyone can get their hands on it. 根据第四段中“Large clothing companies and shops begin following the trend so that everyone can get their hands on it. This is when the trend gets to the highest point.”可知，大型服装公司和商店开始追随这一趋势，以便每个人都能买到它，这是趋势到达最高点的时候。
59 Because the trends don’t agree with their self-feeling. 根据倒数第二段中“others may not think so，especially when a trend doesn’t agree with how they feel about themselves”可知，部分人因潮流与自我认知不符而不喜欢追随。
60 No，because personal style matters more. 本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。
Plus课外延伸
时尚趋势的本质是“文化符号的流动”，为趋势元素注入人文化内涵，可延长其生命周期。例如，“新中式”趋势不仅是旗袍、盘扣等元素的堆砌，更源于年轻人对传统文化的认同。非遗工艺纪录片、邀请老匠人直播等宣传形式让消费者从“买潮流”转向“买文化价值”，即使元素热度下降，文化认同仍能留存。如品牌“密扇”将苗族蜡染、京剧元素融入时装，通过讲述“东方奇幻”故事，让产品超越短期趋势，成为文化载体。

Chinese writer Wang Zengqi once wrote, “When I arrive in a new place ... I prefer to visit the local farmers market to see live chickens and ducks, fresh vegetables and bright fruits. It’s lively and brings me a sense of the joy of 61. llife.”
Nowadays, more people feel the same as Wang. They love to explore farmers markets wherever they visit.

They think visiting a city 63. wwithout exploring farmers markets is a waste of a trip. There they can enjoy mouthwatering food, local culture and real nature of a city.
Luo Yan, a tour lover, travels around markets nationwide.

In Xi’an, he enjoyed tasty Roujiamo, 65. wwhile in Inner Mongolia, he tasted the famous air-dried beef. The generous sellers 66. eeven shared with him some trade secrets.
Foreign travellers, too, consider these markets as interesting 67. wwindows into Chinese daily life. Luo Yan noticed a group of American tourists walking around a farmers market in Beijing. They talked with the sellers though they had difficulties with 68. llanguage and could not stop trying local snacks. The visit left a lasting impression on those foreign visitors. They are touched by the energy of locals and the flavour of Chinese daily life.
The popularity of farmers markets among visitors shows an important 69. cchange—from a focus on scenes that cover every place to deeper experiences of local life. As part of this trend many old farmers markets are upgraded or set to reopen. One of them is the Chongwenmen farmers market, which was 70. bbuilt in 1976. After 15 years of closure, it reopened to the public earlier this year.
