Question

【題目】 Chinese buyers used to like foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality 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, billionaire William Li told Business Insider(商業(yè)內(nèi)幕) during a recent interview on CCTV9.

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（瑞士信貸）published(發(fā)表) in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a "home brand bias（偏愛(ài)）” .

More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance（設(shè)備） 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%.

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了中國(guó)買(mǎi)家隨著時(shí)代的發(fā)展思維變化，以前的人們認(rèn)為國(guó)外的品牌和產(chǎn)品要比中國(guó)國(guó)產(chǎn)的要好，但是經(jīng)調(diào)查現(xiàn)在的人不再是相信外國(guó)品牌更好。認(rèn)為國(guó)產(chǎn)的好。

【1】詞句猜測(cè)。根據(jù)上文“Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased” 與此同時(shí)，生產(chǎn)食品、飲料或個(gè)人護(hù)理產(chǎn)品的本土公司也在增加。及下文“the market”可知此處是“市場(chǎng)份額”。這句話的意思是“與此同時(shí)，生產(chǎn)食品、飲料或個(gè)人護(hù)理產(chǎn)品的本土企業(yè)在過(guò)去十年中的市場(chǎng)份額增長(zhǎng)了3.3%，達(dá)到近70%”。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解。China and America 中國(guó)和美國(guó)；China and Europe中國(guó)和歐洲；America and Europe美國(guó)和歐洲；根據(jù)文中“"When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big," Li said.” 李克強(qiáng)說(shuō)：“1997年我第一次去英國(guó)時(shí)，我認(rèn)為中國(guó)和歐洲的差距相當(dāng)大。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“A study by Credit Suisse（瑞士信貸）published(發(fā)表) in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a "home brand bias（偏愛(ài)）” 瑞士信貸（Credit Suisse）3月份發(fā)表的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，年輕的中國(guó)買(mǎi)家越來(lái)越顯示出“對(duì)家居品牌的偏見(jiàn)”。及“More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance（設(shè)備） brands, according to the study.”研究顯示，超過(guò)90%的中國(guó)年輕買(mǎi)家更愿意購(gòu)買(mǎi)家電品牌�？芍�，這份報(bào)告的大部分研究是瑞士信貸。故選A。

【4】推理判斷。根據(jù)文中“Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better.”及“Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ' Made in China' is not bad at all,"”中國(guó)買(mǎi)家，尤其是年輕人，不只是相信外國(guó)品牌更好�？芍�，越來(lái)越多的中國(guó)人喜歡中國(guó)產(chǎn)品。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。根據(jù)文中“More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance（設(shè)備） brands, according to the study.” 年輕的中國(guó)買(mǎi)家越來(lái)越顯示出“對(duì)家居品牌的偏見(jiàn)”。選項(xiàng)A“More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.”說(shuō)法是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)文中“"Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better.” 中國(guó)買(mǎi)家，尤其是年輕人，不只是相信外國(guó)品牌更好。可知選項(xiàng)B“Older Chinese people don’t like foreign products any more.”是錯(cuò)誤的；選項(xiàng)C是正確的。故選C。

【5】標(biāo)題歸納。A. Chinese products get more popular at home.中國(guó)產(chǎn)品在國(guó)內(nèi)越來(lái)越受歡迎；Young Chinese are crazy for foreign brands. 中國(guó)年輕人熱衷于外國(guó)品牌；Made in China" is welcomed all over the world.“中國(guó)制造”受到全世界的歡迎。這篇短文主要講述了以前的人們認(rèn)為國(guó)外的品牌和產(chǎn)品要比中國(guó)國(guó)產(chǎn)的要好，但是經(jīng)調(diào)查現(xiàn)在的人不再是相信外國(guó)品牌更好。認(rèn)為國(guó)產(chǎn)的好。故本文的標(biāo)題是“Chinese products get more popular at home.”中國(guó)產(chǎn)品在國(guó)內(nèi)越來(lái)越受歡迎。故選A。
