设计师肖航经营着自己的汉服公司，她为客户提供汉服拍照服务，甚至策划汉服风格的婚礼。与过去崇尚西方时尚风格相比，越来越多的年轻人更喜欢中国传统服装文化。1．decorated [考查过去分词。分析该句结构可知，空处作名词robe的后置定语，修饰该名词；robe和动词decorate之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故空处用过去分词decorated。]\n2．attracting [考查现在分词。分析该句结构可知，主语She和动词attract之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故空处用现在分词attracting。]3．haswelcomed/hasbeenwelcoming [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处作谓语。根据该句时间状语“duringthepastdecades”可知，该句陈述的是从过去一直发生到现在的事情，而且还可能继续下去，故用现在完成时或者现在完成进行时，又主语为China，故可知答案。]4．but [考查连词。空前陈述“多年来中国一直欢迎西方时尚和其现代的技术”；空后表述“越来越多像肖这样的年轻人在选择服装时把目光投向过去”，空处前后为转折关系，故填but。]5．Obviously [考查副词。分析该句结构可知，空处修饰后面的整个句子，故用副词形式。]6．costumes [考查名词的单复数。costume可以当作可数名词讲，根据该句系动词are可知，该处应用复数形式。]7．greater [考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的比较级“higher”可知，空处与此对应，也应当用比较级。句意：历史剧也促使人们对中国传统服饰产生了更大的兴趣和更高的需求。]8．who [考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Xiao，指人，空处在从句中作主语，故用who引导该定语从句。]9．acceptance [考查名词。形容词修饰名词，根据形容词wide可知，空处用名词形式，此处表示“广泛接受”。]10．in [考查固定搭配。inpublic为固定搭配，意为“公开地”，符合语境。句意：很多人说，他们之所以会犹豫是因为公开穿汉服时别人会用奇怪的眼神看他们。]
