You've heard of fashion diplomacy，or frock diplomacy? The practice whereby a female politician, or the wife of a world leader, uses clothing to convey unspoken messages about a platform or position, or as a form of outreach? Well, this is clearly sock diplomacy. It's a new tactic in the political playbook.
And it reached an apogee of sorts on Sunday，when Mr. Trudeau marched in Toronto's Gay Pride Parade wearing a rainbow-striped pair printed with the words “Eid Mubarak” in recognition of the Islamic festival that marks the end of Ramadan, and which coincided with this year's parade. Yes, he honored two communities with one pair of socks. And he did so while also supporting local industry: They were made by a Toronto-based company, Halal Socks, and cost $14.99. All that doesn't happen by accident. It also followed closely on an appearance in regular rainbow socks for a Pride flag-raising on June 14 in Ottawa，and one on the syndicated TV show “Live with Kelly and Ryan” on June 5 in patriotic maple leaf socks which he also wore in 2015 at a gathering of Canada's provincial heads of government.
There was another smart socks show in May during a NATO meeting in Brussels,when Mr. Trudeau wore one blue sock and one pink, each with the NATO flag emblazoned on the side. And that followed a much-documented meeting with Enda Kenny, then the prime minister of Ireland, to which Mr. Trudeau wore “Star Wars” socks (it was International “Star Wars” Day).
In each case, Mr. Trudeau's socks were not just fun, though they kind of were, especially compared with the usual politician's navy or black; they also contained a message of solidarity. Rarely have a man's ankles said so much. It's pretty clever. Men, after all, have significantly fewer options than women when it comes to implicit communication via clothing. Unlike Hillary Clinton with her white pantsuits, they can9t use color to support an idea.They can't really wear suits by different tailors for every country they visit to support local industry，the way Michelle Obama often did and the Duchess of Cambridge does.
Wearing a themed tie might be a bit obvious. Occasion-appropriate cuff links would probably be too hard for anyone to spot. But socks? They're subtle enough not to be distracting, but visible enough that you can't miss the point That's an original solution to the problem. And ifs working. Mr. Trudeau5s socks have begun to take on a life of their own, chronicled, and mostly celebrated, by observers everywhere. There are, of course, those who take exception to a head of government wearing what have historically been treated as joke,or kitsch, accessories.
The point being that the socks reinforce the early criticism of Mr. Trudeau, voiced during his campaign for office, as a lightweight. (On the other hand, you could also see them as his attempt to own that stereotype and reverse it, now that he's in power.) And there are
those who pointed out, vis-a-vis the Eid/Pride twofer, that many Muslim countries persecute or sometimes even kill gay citizens, and accused Mr. Trudeau of eliding the issue in his desire to acknowledge everyone at once.
But overall, the socks have been a source of, well, pride and applause on an international scale a symbol both of Mr. Trudeau's ability to embrace multiculturalism and of his position as a next-gen leader not bound by antiquated traditions and mores. Besides, they're a good icebreaker. (See: Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany bending down to admire Mr. Trudeau's choice at NATO.) After all, even when there's no obvious theme to celebrate, Mr. Trudeau rarely chooses the plain pair, opting for argyle or stripes instead, among other patterns. When he met the chairwoman of Xerox, he was wearing a diamond style. She complimented him.

單選題第2題According to Paragraph 2, what can be used as diplomatic strategies?
A.Female and her husband.
B.Female dress.
C.Male leader.
D.Unspoken message.
參考答案：B
答案解析：根據(jù)題干，定位至原文第 2 段 “a female politician, or the wife of a world leader, uses clothing to convey unspoken messages”，可知是女政客或是男性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的妻子的著裝透露著某種無言信息。故選B。

A.His rainbow-striped socks greet two communities.

參考答案：A
答案解析：由原文第 3 段 “Yes, he honored two communities with one pair of socks”可知A正確。并不是所有的襪子都來自多倫多公司，B項錯誤。文中沒有提及這位總理兩次穿普通彩虹襪，也沒有提及每一條襪子上都有圖案，故排除C、D項。根據(jù)題意，答案選A。

D.He also wore them in 2015 at a gathering of Canada's provincial heads of government.
參考答案：D
答案解析：雖然四項答案文中第3段均有涉及，關(guān)于“彩虹條紋襪”的描述A、B、C三項均對，但D項描述的是“機葉圖案襪子”。故答案為D。

B.Mr. Trudeau's socks were just for fun.
C.Mr. Trudeau's socks were not only amusing, but also contained a message of solidarity.

參考答案：C
答案解析：根據(jù)第5段內(nèi)容的綜合理解，原文提到服裝襪子等在外交中只能起到含蓄表達(dá)作用，A、D排除。特魯多的襪子也絕不是為了好玩，B排除。故答案選C。
單選題第7題What probably is the color of other male politician socks according to the passage?
A.Pink and navy.
B.Marine blue and black.
C.White and black.
D.White and navy.

B.Because tie is hard to match his suit.
C.Because socks were easy to spot but modest.
D.Because socks might be a little obvious.
參考答案：C
答案解析：根據(jù)原文第6段可知，領(lǐng)帶太惹眼，袖扣太小，而襪子容易看到且相對低調(diào)，故選C。

A.She liked them.
B.She showed her surprise.
