概要写作
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Long Journey
The majority of the world’s clothes, bags and shoes are manufactured in Asia. But the region’s brands have made little headway in the West. Of the ten most valuable global apparel (服装) labels ranked by Millward Brown, a market-research firm, only Uniqlo is Asian. Li-Ning, one of China’s best-selling sportswear brands, tried to enter America in 2010. It opened a flagship store in Portland, Oregon and later launched an English-language online store. Both failed.
What makes the journey so hard Adjusting to Western tastes takes time. Although Uniqlo became the largest Japanese apparel brand by selling US-style clothing, it still encountered cultural barriers in America itself. For example, vests (背心) are one of Uniqlo’s most popular products at home, but relatively few Americans and Europeans wear an additional layer beneath their shirts, says Dairo Murata, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase, a bank. It was only two years ago the firm also realized that XL was not big enough in America; it now duly provides XXXL.
Another problem, at least outside the big cities, is price. Uniqlo takes pride in the use of high-tech, comfortable fabrics (布料),an attempt to differentiate itself from other basic clothing brands like Gap and Old Navy. But at Danbury Fair, a Connecticut shopping mall that is a barometer for retail trends in the suburbs, people prefer Primark, a super-cheap Irish retailer (零售商) which recently opened, to Uniqlo, which shut up shop in June. Mall visitors are conservative about fashion and about spending, explains F.K. Grunert, its manager.
What still seems to work better is concentrating on urban centres, even though that means a smaller potential market. This month Uniqlo opened a stand-alone store in Manhattan’s Soho; such shops tend to do well. In 2002 it had 21 stores in Britain, dotted around the north-west, Midlands and south-east; now eight of the ten it still has are in London.

参考答案:
1.What an interesting picture! A Western young man, sitting at a table, is ready to eat a bowl of noodles. He is holding two forks the same way as we Chinese hold chopsticks. He is trying so hard to pick up the noodles that he is sweating a lot. At first glance, I think it’s a bit funny, for we Chinese take it for granted that chopsticks are the tools for eating noodles. The man in the picture is trying to copy us. Obviously he is doing it the hard way. Maybe using one fork will do a better job. In my opinion, we don’t need to copy other’s ways of thinking. Sometimes a simpler way of doing things may be a better way.

It’s hard for Asia’s fashion brands to appeal to Western customers.

So it may be a wise choice for Asian brands to open their shops in urban centres.
【点睛】【高分句型1】Although Uniqlo became the largest Japanese apparel brand by selling US-style clothing, it still encountered cultural barriers in America itself.(运用一个主从复合句体现了优衣库在美国遇到了文化冲击。其中Although引导的让步状语从句表达高级)

3.it has nothing to do with loss of traditions
【详解】考查固定句型和名词。“谈不上”可以理解为“和……无关”,翻译为have nothing to do with;“丢弃传统”可以翻译为loss of tradition;可以用it代替eating out 这件事,谓语动词应该用单数形式。故填it has nothing to do with loss of traditions。
4.identify those
【详解】考查动词和代词。根据句意“找出那些”可知,空格处涉及单词“identify”,意为“找到”,动词词性,“should”为情态动词,后接动词原形,“those”意为“那些”,为指示代词,作“identify”的宾语,故空格处应填“identify those”。故填identify those。
5. not until that
【详解】考查强调句型。根据句意可知,本题考查强调句型It was not until...that...,意为“直到....才...”。故填①not②until③that。
6.admirable quality
【详解】考查形容词和名词。根据句意及空前的most可知空处应填形容词与most一起构成最级,作定语,修饰其后的名词,admirable形容词,意为“令人钦佩的”,名词quality意为“品质”,可数名词,依据空前的Loyalty,可知应用单数形式,在句中作表语。故填admirable quality。
7.made it hard for us to understand his opinion
【详解】考查固定句型和时态。对比中英文句子可知,空处涉及固定句型make it+adj.+for sb. to do sth.“使得做某事对于某人来说……”,it是形式宾语,不定式是真正的宾语;make为定语从句的谓语动词,结合语境和上文didn’t 判断为一般过去时;“困难的”表达为hard;“理解”表达为understand;“他的观点”表达为his opinion。故填made it hard for us to understand his opinion。
【点睛】
8. donate quality
【详解】考查动词和名词。根据句意及固定短语lead sb to do可知,第一个空格应填写表“捐赠”的动词原形;根据句意及第二个空格前的形容词可知,该处应填写表“品质,质量”的名词单数,故填①donate;②quality。
9. are of high##good quality
【详解】考查固定搭配。句意:中国高铁,质量上乘、安全可靠。分析句子可知,此处可使用be+of+名词表示形容词的用法,句中主语是复数形式,为保持主谓一致,谓语也应使用复数形式。故填①are ②of③high/good④quality。
