科目：初中英語 來源：2016年初中畢業(yè)升學(xué)考試（江蘇無錫卷）英語（解析版） 題型：任務(wù)型閱讀

閱讀填空 先通讀下面的短文，然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，在文章后表格的空格內(nèi)填入一個最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。所填單詞必須寫在答題卡對應(yīng)題號的橫線上。每個空格只能填一個單詞。

Clothing(服裝) is a language. We can look at the traditional clothing to know more about culure.

Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in traditional dress. The three colours—red, gold and green, are often used in the clothing. The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second, rich resources of the African earth; and the third, the grassland of home.

Because clothing has strong social meanings, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes, or to dress in the wrong way. For example, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband (腰帶) differently according to the importance of the social event.

Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs are famous for loose (寬松的) clothing. The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night, so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.

Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes, especially in big cities in Africa, traditional African dress is still quite valuable. This is because it has deep cultural meanings.
