Question

    Hanfu is a traditional robe(长袍) of the Han people, which has a history of thousands of years in China. The number of people adopting the ancient style of dress in modem times has. grown significantly these days. The hanfu clothing industry is now worth one billion yuan(US$140.7 million). 1. However, it may be too early to call it a “revival”(复兴).

2. And it sounds impressive that about 2.2 million people in China wear hanfu. But considering that the clothing retail(零售) industry was worth 1.92 trillion yuan in 2017, one billion yuan is a small number. Similarly, 2.2 million seems a small number considering that China’s population is more than 1.3 billion.

Having played a major role in China’s clothing history, hanfu remained popular until the late 1600s. 3. After pursuing Western fashion, it’s natural that Chinese people are returning to traditional clothing in search of their cultural identity.

But what is the obstacle of hanfu’s revival, despite people’s love for it? 4. The hanfu trend appeared five years ago, so the industry is quite young. And many tailors are still learning how best to make hanfu from historical TV dramas and so on. But most of these historical dramas are fictional, as are many of the clothes the characters wear.

Short-video and live-streaming apps are the other sources that promote the hanfu culture. But most of these live streamers have their own shops. 5. To fulfill their selfish interests, those behind the short videos and live-streaming blame one another instead of working together to revive the hanfu culture.

If these live-streamers really want to develop the hanfu culture, they should change their attitude and work together for the betterment of the hanfu industry.

A.One billion yuan is a huge figure.

B.The lack of a standard seems to be the main problem.

C.The popularity of hanfu reflects the diversity of Chinese culture.

D.This means they promote hanfu culture to increase their own profits.

E.Even the traditional Korean and Japanese costumes originated from it.

F.This has prompted many to say it symbolizes the revival of Han or hanfu culture.

G.It is natural for Chinese people to show their love for traditional culture by wearing hanfu.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今中国的汉服文化很流行，汉服产业现在价值10亿元。指出汉服在中国服装史上扮演了重要角色，以及如今汉服复兴所遇到的一些障碍。

1.

根据上文The hanfu clothing industry is now worth one billion yuan(US$140.7 million).可知汉服产业现在价值10亿元（1.407亿美元）。以及后文However, it may be too early to call it a “revival”(复兴).可知然而，现在称其为“复兴”可能还为时过早。由此可知，汉服产业的价值巨大促使许多人说这象征着汉服文化的复兴，后文则指出现在说“复兴”为之过早。后文中revival可对应到F选项中revival。故F选项“这促使许多人说它象征着汉服文化的复兴”符合语境，故选F。

2.

根据后文And it sounds impressive that about 2.2 million people in China wear hanfu. But considering that the clothing retail(零售) industry was worth 1.92 trillion yuan in 2017, one billion yuan is a small number. Similarly, 2.2 million seems a small number considering that China’s population is more than 1.3 billion.可知中国大约有220万人穿汉服，这听起来让人印象深刻。但考虑到2017年服装零售行业价值1.92万亿元，10亿元只是一个小数目。同样，考虑到中国的人口超过13亿，220万似乎是个小数目。由此可知，第一段中提到的汉服产业现在价值10亿元是一个巨大的数字，但是考虑到2017年服装零售行业价值1.92万亿元，10亿元只是一个小数目。故A选项“10亿元是一个巨大的数字”符合语境，故选A。

3.

根据上文Having played a major role in China’s clothing history, hanfu remained popular until the late 1600s.可知汉服在中国服装史上扮演了重要角色，直到17世纪末期汉服仍然很流行。由此可知，本句是在说明汉服在中国服装历史中扮演的重要角色，以及对其他国家传统服饰的影响，甚至连韩国和日本的传统服饰都起源于汉服。故E选项“甚至连韩国和日本的传统服饰都起源于此”符合语境，故选E。

4.

根据后文The hanfu trend appeared five years ago, so the industry is quite young. And many tailors are still learning how best to make hanfu from historical TV dramas and so on. But most of these historical dramas are fictional, as are many of the clothes the characters wear.可知汉服流行于五年前，所以这个行业还很年轻。许多裁缝还在学习如何从历史电视剧中制作汉服等等。但大多数历史剧都是虚构的，剧中人物的许多服装也是虚构的。由此可知，汉服行业很年轻，缺乏汉服制作标准。故B选项“缺乏标准似乎是主要问题”符合语境，故选B。

5.

根据后文To fulfill their selfish interests, those behind the short videos and live-streaming blame one another instead of working together to revive the hanfu culture.可知为了私利，这些短片和直播背后的人互相指责，而不是一起努力复兴汉服文化。由此可知，有自己汉服店铺的直播主播只是为了增加自己的利润，并不是在努力复兴汉服文化。故D选项“这意味着他们通过推广汉服文化来增加自己的利润”符合语境，故选D。
