第二节 短文理解(共10小题，计20分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C三个选项中，选出最佳选项回答问题。
A
Riding a bike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese. Turning to the right, you
see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smart phones are on sale.
But you're not in China. You're in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other
cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world.
Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people's tastes,
Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. "One example is the meat. "said Yin Hang, a
Chinese student who is studying in Australia. We like to eat meat with the bone in but people here don't.
So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.
Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe.
Many stores sell Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones(无人机) are
第 3 页 共 8 页Chinese models, according to China Daily. They're not only made in China, but also designed and
developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now,
things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. "Made in China" becomes cool. They are
beautiful and offer some unique features American phones don't have, an article on CNN once said about
Chinese smart phones.
As it is said, the Chinese government has been trying its best to improve its national brands of all kinds
to meet the needs of modern life.
26. How many Chinese brands(品牌) does the writer talk about in the passage?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four.
27. What do Western people think of Chinese products now according to the passage?
A. Chinese products are cheap and unreliable.
B. "Made in China " becomes cool.
C. All Chinese smart phones are better than American phones.
28. Why does Chinese government try its best to improve the national brands?
A. To make more money.
B. To meet the needs of modern life.
C. To communicate with the world.
29. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. More and more people trust and use Chinese products.
B. We can see Chinese products in many parts of the world.
C. Chinese restaurants provide delicious meat with large bones in Australia.
30. What is the best title for this passage?

B. Chinese Products Going Global
C. Chinese People in the World
B
Social media(社交媒体) is certainly an interesting place to learn others' opinions. You can read
everything from strange ideas to true facts and everything in between. But when you're spending time
online and reading so many opinions, it's quite possible that you'll sometimes see someone write
something that you strongly disagree with.
In fact, you might feel so strongly that you feel like you should reply to this person at once. You might
do some research, find some facts of your own and reply to what they've written. You finish writing out
your reply, click "Post" and win the argument.
However, it's not really much of a victory. Most people don't like it when other people disagree with
their ideas, especially online strangers(陌生人). It's unlikely that they will change their opinion just
because you argued with them. In fact, it's possible that you make them feel more confident(自信的)
that they're correct. And the thing is, when you get in these kinds of fights online, it slowly influences(影
响) you. You might not know it at first, but the argument that you take part in can actually have a bad
influence on your mood. If you argue often, you start to enjoy arguing and then end up doing it even more.
It's a dangerous cycle.
I guess the best thing to do is to tell yourself that most arguments aren't worth it. There are much
better and more interesting things to do, whether online or in real life.
第 4 页 共 8 页31. How does the author feel about social media?
A. People seldom use it to argue.
B. Many people use it to voice their opinions.
C. It is a good way to communicate with strangers.
32. How might arguing online influence you?
A. You will face a lot of dangers.
B. You might feel bad and argue more.
C. You will get better at arguing.
33. What does the word correct mean in paragraph 3?
A. 正确的 B. 错误的 C. 不必要的
34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. If you argue with people online, you will become more confident.
B. Online arguing has no influence on people.
C. There is no need for us to argue with the wrong ideas online.
35. What is the writer's suggestion?
A. Argue until you find the truth.
B. Try to communicate in real life instead of online.
C. Find something better to do instead of arguing.
