Question

【題目】The label（標(biāo)簽）, Made in China, is one that is becoming increasing common in shopping centers all over the world.

In the United States, shoppers at Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest retailer（零售商）, have a wide selection of products mostly produced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China. These goods are even widely available in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China.

When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, gifts from the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren't rare any more, and anything 'Made in China' shouldn’t be considered in any case.

"When I decide to visit my family members in China, I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words," a Chinese American said. "When they see the label 'Made in China,' they will think, 'Why do you send me this?' "

The development of China has surprised the world with its growth. As a result, the other countries are beginning to try to reduce Chinese goods with the use of taxes（稅）and import restrictions. However, the development on the Chinese economy still affects the world in many ways.

【1】What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “brand” in the second paragraph?

A. 品牌 B. 明星 C. 生產(chǎn)地 D. 樹枝

【2】Why do Chinese Americans usually have a headache if they come back to China?

A. Because their Chinese friends cannot speak English.

B. Because their friends will be unhappy if the gifts are made in China.

C. Because they should give their friends rare gifts.

【3】How do other countries try to reduce the Chinese goods in their own countries?

文章大意：貼有中國制造的成品越來越多的出現(xiàn)在全球的購物中心中。在美國，最大的零售商之一沃爾瑪很多商品都是中國制造，在國外，越來越多的人喜歡購買中國制造的產(chǎn)品．中國品牌在國外的知名度也越來越高。美籍華人在回家鄉(xiāng)看望鄉(xiāng)親和朋友的時(shí)候，帶回美國的禮物是必須的，但是現(xiàn)在電視和名牌服裝并不是唯一的禮物。一個(gè)美籍華人說，當(dāng)我想到要回祖國看望朋友時(shí)，我很頭疼，不知道給他們帶些什么？他并不是全會英語，但是他們都看得懂三個(gè)字，當(dāng)朋友們看到中國制造后，他們就會想為什么會送我這個(gè)？中國的增長速度震驚世界。因此很多國家通過加稅或進(jìn)口限制來減少中國商品的進(jìn)口，然而，中國經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展仍然以很多方式影響著世界。

【1】詞意猜測題。從文章Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China．及第二段可知，中國制造的東西在全球非常常見，同樣的中國的品牌也很常見，故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章They may not all speak English，but everyone in China knows those three words，"a Chinese American said．"When they see the label 'Made in China，'they will think，'Why do you send me this？'可知，他們的朋友或是家人如果知道是中國制造的將會不高興，故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章the other countries are beginning to try to reduce Chinese goods with the use of taxes（稅）and import restrictions．可知別的國家通過用稅收和進(jìn)口限制來減少中國制造的東西，故選D。

詞義猜測題是閱讀理解中常見的一種題型，所猜測詞匯可以是生詞，也可以是熟詞新義，還可以是人稱代詞的指代內(nèi)容。詞義猜測題主要考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測詞義和語義的能力，突出考查對語境的分析和把握能力。常見的猜詞法有：(1)利用上下文語境。猜測任何詞義都離不開上下文，所以要借助上下文對需要猜測的詞或短語進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推測。 (2)利用定義或解釋性的線索。閱讀文章中的有些生詞往往在其后會有對該詞進(jìn)行解釋說明的短語或句子，利用它們猜詞義較容易 (3)利用文章的邏輯關(guān)系答題。如并列、對比、因果、轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系等。這些邏輯關(guān)系往往通過一些相應(yīng)的詞或短語表達(dá)出來，如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用構(gòu)詞法知識答題。熟記一些前綴、后綴所表達(dá)的意思，不僅可以擴(kuò)大詞匯量，而且?guī)椭�我們猜測詞義。第1小題的詞義猜測題就是利用第1種解題方法。
