阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The price of fashion — economically and environmentally — has led to the rise of ___56___ new way of dressing, and it’s beginning to take off in Australia, too. As people now choose to wear more clothes fewer ___57___ (time), clothing rental services have become increasingly popular.
“I think it's an amazing idea,” says Tanya Perilli, who owns a clothing rental shop. “Customers today look past the fact that something is secondhand and focus instead ___58___ the fact that they have something unique to wear ___59___ are not overstuffing their own wardrobes(衣柜) or contributing to landfill.”
Tanya’s shop offers fashion clothes for women ___60___ (rent) rather than purchase them outright, providing a less expensive ___61___ (solve) to one-time event dressing. The concept ___62___ (be) certainly not new — men have been renting good suits for decades — but for female shoppers, it is just taking off. This clothing-as-service model follows the broader societal movement towards shared economies.
Tanya is also looking beyond special-occasion dresses to less formal clothing, ___63___ she plans to package as capsule wardrobes and offer to travellers, such as those headed to weddings abroad, with a longer-term rental period. “I really want to make this work for ___64___ (people) lives today, and I know that doesn't always mean ___65___ (return) a dress on the Monday after a special weekend,” she says.
答案解析：
56. a way of（考点：冠词，简单题）；一种新的着装方式
57. times（考点：不可数名词和可数名词，简单题。看到fewer应该知道名词复数）；
58. focus on（考点：固定搭配，简单题）
59. and（考点：上下文理解，并列关系），既有独特的衣服穿，有不会塞满衣柜。
60. to rent（考点：非谓语动词，动词不定式做clothes的定语。）
61. solution（考点：词形转换，a less expensive冠词和形容词修饰名词）
62. is（考点：主谓一致）
63. which（考点：定语从句）
64. people’s（考点：名词所有格）
65. returning （考点：非谓语动词，mean doing意味着；mean to do有意做…）
59题如果错用定语从句，63题就会错用并列句。但59题如果用定语从句，应该是修饰something了。而原文里从上下文看are not overstuffing的主语应该是they。
其他八题为基础题，一般应该全对！
