Increasingly, thats 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 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, dont 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%.（1）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.（2）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 dont like foreign products any more.（3）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.（4）Who did most of the research for this report? A . Credit Suisse.B . CCTV 9.C . South China Morning Post.D . Business Insider.（5）Whats the best title for this passage? A . Chinese products get more popular at home.B . Young Chinese are crazy for foreign brands.C . Made in China is welcomed all over the world.D . Apple has lost large ground to Huawei in China.14. （10分）阅读理解CWhy Are They Left-handed（左撇的）?What do Napoleon, Clinton and Wang Nan have in common(共同的)? They are all left-handed. Today about 15% of the number of people is left-handed. But why are people left-handed? The answer is the way the brain(大脑) works. The brain has two halves-the right half and the left half. The right half controls(控制) the left side of the body and the left controls the right half of the body.So right-handed people have a strong left brain, and left-handed have a strong right brain. The two halves of the brain are about the same size. But each side controls different things. The left side controls language, maths and logic(逻辑). When you remember new words or when you put things in order, you use your left side. The right side of the brain controls your love of art, colour and music. It is also good at recognizing(认出) faces. This does not mean(意思是) that all artists are left-handed and all accountants(会计师) are right-handed. Some right-handed have a strong right brain, and some left-handed have a strong left brain.（1）From the passage, we know_. A . some right-handers have a strong left brain.B . all accountants are right-handedC . the left side of the brain controls your colour and music.D . all artists are left-handed（2）People are right-handed or left-handed is mostly decided by(被决定)_. A . their parentsB . their mindsC . the way the brain worksD . the way the head works（3）Each side of the brain_. A . likes music and mathsB . controls different thingsC . controls the same thingsD . has two halves（4）When you are singing, you are using your _. A . logic thinkingB . heartC . right brainD . left brain（5）Which part of the body does the right half of the brain control? A . The right side of the body.B . The left side of the body.C . The language.D . The heart.15. （5分）读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。A. Set good examples in the familyB. Make a list of chores for childrenC. Make children do chores unhappilyD.

Discuss the importance of doing chores and how they help thewhole familyHere are a few ways to motivate(激发)children to do chores._.Children always watch their parents and learn how to act from them, so the parents must set a good example and take chores seriously. This motivates children to do chores，too.Decide what kinds of chores children do. For younger children，give them easy work，like putting away their toys._.Tell children about the importance of doing chores._.Knowing the importance of the chores helps to motivate children to do them._.When children finish the chores on the list，parents can reward(奖励）them by giving them a prize. A chore list also gives children a sense of pride(自豪感）when they finish all their chores.Give children some money to do more chores._.But it is not the best way. Its best to make children feel that doing chores is the work that they should do.四、 单词拼写 (共1题；共1分)16. （1分）You must learn to take n_(笔记) in class, 五、 选词填空 (共1题；共5分)17. （5分）请根据句意从方框中选择合适的单词，并用其适当形式填空，使句子通顺。me choosenoise forty fact(1)Simon, you should tell as many_as possible to support your ideas at this meeting.(2)The music in the supermarket sounded so_that I wanted to leave at once.(3)In his _, he got many achievements and succeeded at his work.(4) Maggie, let me help you carry the heavy bag.No, thanks.
