On the Loess Plateau (黄土高原), a donkey carries boxes of shadow play tools while five players walk with
musical instruments on their backs. They travel through mountains and villages. When it becomes dark, they set up
the light and paper screen and start their show.
This is a Daoqing shadow play (道情皮影戏). It is an art mixing Daoqing music and shadow play. The player
holds the human characters behind the paper screen and plays a series of stories. The characters are usually made of
cow skin.
The stage of the Daoqing shadow play is simple. It’s usually a table covered with a large piece of paper. The
light was behind the paper screen. As the shadow player moves his fingers, the characters come to life and their
looks, dress and movement can be clearly seen from the other side of the screen. The player is also the lead singer.
All the characters are played and voiced by him. It’s not an easy job.
Shi Chenglin is an old shadow player. He says it takes a player ten to twenty years to be good at playing the
characters well. He used to have students, but they gave up one by one.

Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies
are of higher quality (质量) than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that’s no longer the case.
Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, the
billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for those who were born
after 1985, it is a different picture.
“When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe
was quite big,” Li said. “But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there
is a big difference.”
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where Western
companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are
increasingly showing a “home brand bias”.
More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study.
Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market
by 3. 3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.
“Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don’t just believe that foreign brands are better.
Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all,” Charlie Chen, head of
China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple
is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market
share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.
31. What is this passage mainly about?
A. The quality of “Made in China”.
B. The change in Chinese buyers’ thinking.
C. Chinese products in the eye of foreigners.
D. Difference between older and younger Chinese buyers.
32. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.
B. Foreign products are more expensive than Chinese ones.
C. More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese products.
D. Older Chinese people don’t like foreign products anymore.
33. Which fact best explains “home brand bias”?
A. Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015.
B. More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.
C. Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.
D. William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.
34. Who did most of the research for this report?
A. Credit Suisse.
B. CCTV 9.
C. South China Morning Post.
D. Business Insider.
35. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Chinese products get more popular at home
B. Young Chinese are crazy about foreign brands
C. “Made in China” is welcomed all over the world
D. Apple has lost large ground to Huawei in China

In the 13th century, Marco Polo saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was
money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, the
Chinese began to use it in the 7th century.
Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe
until the year 1100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees.
After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, and Finland became the most important ones
in paper making.
Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you
know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in
the snow. And even houses can be insulated (使绝缘) from heat or cold with paper.
However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper,
there will not be any trees left on the earth someday in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2,800
tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly
48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.
So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful
things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper
bags and reuse them if we have some.
In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
36. When did people in the West have paper money?
A. In the 5th century.
B. In the 13th century.
C. In the 7th century.
D. In the 15th century.
37. Why did America become an important country in paper making?
A. Because it had a large population.
B. Because it was a large country.
C. Because it had lots of forests.
D. Because it was a rich country.
38. What is paper used for in Finland?
A. Keeping warm.
B. Making newspaper.
C. Reducing waste.
D. Making books.
39. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Seventy trees are needed to make one ton of paper.
B. Marco Polo found money made of paper in China.
C. Used paper can not be used again.
D. It takes five years for a tree to grow.
40. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Save Paper
B. History of Making Paper
C. Information of Paper
D. The Use of Paper
