2016考研英语阅读：“龙袍”惊起千层浪 　下面给大家提供了2016考研英语阅读——一身黄袍引发的对中国设计师的关注，希望能给大家在考研的备考过程中，能够重视英语的阅读。　　1、When Rihanna wore a fur-trimmed yellow satin gown by the Chinese-born designer Guo Pei to the MetGala on Monday night, it became the talk of Twitter,which erupted with jokey comparisons to omeletsand pizzas. Memes using cartoon characters like Sponge Bob Square Pants were rampant. “The fashion world pretty much came to a standstill,”Glamour magazine wrote of the “jaw-dropping” cloak,while Time magazine declared that the singer stolethe show.　　周一晚上，蕾哈娜(Rihanna)身穿中国设计师郭培设计的黄色皮毛镶边绸缎礼服出席大都会艺术博物馆的慈善晚宴(Met Gala)，成为Twitter上的热议话题，人们戏谑地把这件礼服与煎蛋饼和披萨相比较。用海绵宝宝(SpongeBob)等卡通人物设计的网络米姆(meme)纷纷涌现。《魅力》(Glamour)杂志提到这件“令人惊愕的”披风时写道，“时尚界几乎惊呆了”;《时代》(Time)杂志认为这位歌手抢尽风头。　　2、Yet Ms. Guo isn’t the first Chinese-born designer to create a media meltdown with a spectacular design.

Now, that dress and two Guo Pei designs are part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new Costume Institute exhibition, “China: Through the Looking Glass.”　　范冰冰的龙袍引起强烈反响，以至于女演员秦海璐公开抱怨说，范是利用那条裙子塑造自己是中国影后的假象(范否认了这一指责)。伦敦的维多利亚与艾伯特博物馆(Victoria Albert Museum)最终把它变成自己的永久收藏。如今，那件龙袍和郭培设计的两件服装都在大都会艺术博物馆时装学院的新展览“中国：镜花水月”(China:Through the Looking Glass)上展出。　　4、Juxtaposed against a dragon dress made by Tom Ford for Yves Saint Laurent, Mr. Xu’s gown highlig
