题目解答
答案
(1)推理判断题。根据第一段Labubu dolls are hard to find...The lovely creatures,sold in "blind boxes" so that buyers don't know which one they will get,are loved not only by Chinese children but also by famous people at home and abroad.(Labubu"一盒难求"……这些可爱的动物被装在"盲盒"里出售,买家不知道他们会得到哪个,它们不仅受到中国孩子的喜爱,也受到国内外名人的喜爱)可知,通过描述Labubu玩偶"一盒难求"的现象,引出了文章核心话题——中国本土品牌的流行与成功。故选A。
(2)词义猜测题。根据第二段Furthermore,many of these brands are winning fans in other countries(此外,很多品牌成功圈粉海外消费者)及划线单词所在句中with their unique products(以它们独特的产品)可知,此处是指中国品牌以其独特的产品打入国际市场。由此猜测,划线词penetrate意为"进入"。选项A.Avoid避免;选项B.Enter进入;选项C.Ignore忽视;选项D.Destroy摧毁。故选B。
(3)推理判断题。根据第三段 But lower prices are not the only reason for the love of Chinese brands.In many cases shoppers are paying the same or even more for local products.(但低价远非国货受欢迎的唯一理由,因为很多情况下,消费者情愿为本土产品花一样甚至更多的钱)可推出,文章以Chagee茶拿铁为例,说明一些本土品牌实现了高价。故选C。
(4)标题归纳题。通读全文,并结合第二段But now,they are turning to local luxury brands ,high-end make-up labels and milk tea shops.Furthermore,many of these brands are winning fans in other countries.Chinese brands are beginning to penetrate international markets with their unique products.(但现在,他们转向了当地的奢侈品牌、高端化妆品品牌和奶茶店。此外,很多品牌成功圈粉海外消费者。中国品牌正开始以其独特的产品打入国际市场)可知,文章主要介绍了中国消费者从对国外商品的喜爱转移到对本土品牌的热爱。因此C项"从跟风外来到本土青睐:中国品牌崭露锋芒"可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C。
