（2023·福建龙岩·统考三模）Young students are experts in learning new things online.
According to our national survey, as many as 88. 9 percent of young people often use the Internet to study. They see the Internet as a sea of knowledge. How are today’s teenagers making good use of online resources(资源)
Zhang Enqi, a 14-year-old boy from Tianjin I love using Duolingo. It is an App where users can learn foreign languages in a fun way. The teachers are cute cartoon characters, which makes the learning process interesting. There are also ranking lists that encourage me to learn and compete with friends, just like playing a game. Now I’m using it to learn Spanish.
Li Shuhe, a 14-year-old girl from Shanxi I often use wikiHow. There are over 160, 000 articles that teach you how to solve all kinds of problems, from solving a Rubik’s Cube to fixing a toilet. It even teaches you how to have fun by yourself, which I find quite creative.
Zhou Caiyan, a 15-year-old girl from Zhejiang Though Douyin is often seen as a time waster, the short video App helps me a lot.

（2023·福建漳州·校联考模拟预测）Chinese people are eating too much salt. On general, people in China eat about 10.5 grams of salt each day, much higher than the 6 grams advised by Chinese Dietary Guidelines (2016). To solve this, China issued(发布) the first salt reduction guide for its food industry on April 18. The government hopes that can help people have salt in a proper way.
If the guide is followed properly, the salt intake(摄入量) for Chinese people will drop by 20 percent by 2030. The salt we take in mainly comes from processed food. For example, there is about 0.66 grams of salt in a 104-gram can of Lay’s potato chips. That is about 10 percent of the daily salt intake. A 100-gram bag of Kang Shi Fu instant noodles has nearly 2 grams of salt. Therefore, it’s necessary for the companies to reduce salt in their products.
A small amount of salt makes food taste better and is important for good health, but eating too much increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes(中风), the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Less salt leads to better health. And there’s no need to worry that food will be less tasty in the future. A study found that it’s easy for people to reduce their salt intake. Although you may think your food is not salty enough at first, you will get used to the new taste soon.

As we all know, there is very short of water in lots of areas in Africa. However, there is a magical tree which can help to solve the water problem. It is called the “sacred（神圣的）tree of Africa”—baobab tree（猴面包树）.
A baobab tree is huge like an upside-down carrot. It can grow so large that it requires more than 40 people holding hands to circle it. Actually, most baobab trees are not very tall, only about ten meters.
A baobab tree is full of treasures. It is said that if everyone in Africa had a 10-meter-tall baobab tree, it would solve more than 50% of their food problems. In hot Africa, water is the most needed. When the rainy season comes, the baobab tree starts to hold water in its body. The baobab tree is said to be the most water-holding tree. It can hold thousands of kilograms of water in its body. Local people usually cut a hole in the tree with a knife and get clean water from it. The baobab tree leaves are a bit like spinach（菠菜）leaves. True to its Chinese name, the fruit of the baobab tree tastes like bread. But it’s not like bread with cream. It tastes dry. Local people seldom get stomach problems because of eating it.
Baobab trees are not only useful for humans, but for animals in nature! Their fruit can be good food for monkeys, lizards and other African animals. Their leaves can also be eaten to get enough water.

（2023·福建漳州·校联考模拟预测）Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages!
All around the animal kingdom (王国), there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants for example talk with each other using infrasound (次声波) that can’t be heard by humans. Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.
After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning. For example, Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things: food, sleep positions, invasion (侵犯) of personal space, and unwanted advances (求爱).
This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine (路线) to tell the bees where the nectar (花蜜) was, Vox reported.
16．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．People can understand animals’ talk now.
B．It’s hard for people to hear animals’ sound.
C．Elephants’ sound is higher than corals’.
D．People can’t hear corals’ sound with their ears.
17．If baby coral receives sound waves, it may ________.
A．know where to get food B．move to a safer place
C．develop a better hearing D．send back some sounds
18．Bats produce most of the sound to _____
A．deal with life needs B．ask for food from others
C．send out signal of warning D．show they’re sleeping
19．The writer introduced German research team to ________.
A．explain how researchers invented a robot bee
B．show readers how people help bees find the nectar
C．tell us scientists can communicate back to animals

（2023·福建漳州·校联考模拟预测）Reading books brings with it many positive effects giving people the opportunity to explore new worlds and meet new people both real and imagined. It improves our knowledge and understanding of the world around us and those far away.
Setting aside a day to celebrate books traces its beginnings to Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andrés. In 1922 he suggested the idea as a way to honor fellow countryman author Miguel de Cervantes. Four years later the first celebration took place on 7 October, Cervantes’ birthday, but was moved to 23 April, the date of his death, in 1930.
In 1995, the UNESCO General Conference decided to pay respect to authors and books world-wide as a way of encouraging everyone to access books. Choosing 23 April seemed a logical choice, besides being the date of Cervante’s death, it also happens to be the date William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega died, among other prominent authors. What’s more, several well-known authors were born on 23 April making it a symbolic date in the world literature.
Since 2001, one city around the world is chosen to be the UNESCO World Book Capital for a year. The selected city is tasked with carrying out activities throughout the year to encourage “a culture of reading and promoting its values in all ages and population groups at home and abroad.” UNESCO has named Accra as the 2023 World Book Capital.
21．The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refers to _________,
A．The opportunity. B．Reading books.
C．New people. D．Exploring worlds.
22．Which writer did people want to remember in the beginning
A．Vicente Clavel Andrés. B．Miguel de Cervantes.
C．William Shakespeare. D．Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.
23．Why did UNESCO choose the day 23 April
A．Because it’s special to many famous authors.
B．Because some authors were born on this day.
C．Because everyone is required to access books
D．Because readers across the world feel sad on this day.
24．What’s the duty of World Book Capital
A．Order all people to read many books. B．Carry out activities in its own country.
C．Promote values to young people. D．Create a good environment for book reading.

China’s biggest solar-powered drone(太阳能无人机), Qimingxing-50 or Morning Star 50, finished its first test flight in September, 2022. The drone was built by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China(AVIC, 中国航空工业集团有限公司).
Drones have been used for quite a few years now. There are different ways of increasing the flying time. However, all these methods become less useful compared with the unlimited(无限的) power provided by the Sun. That’s why researchers have been working to make solar-powered drones that can not only stay in the air for longer but also perform more tasks while in the sky.
In 2018, China tested the first version(版本) of Morning Star, which was 91 feet wide. Made from a special kind of plastic, the drone was so light, weighing only 41 pared with it, the Morning Star 50 is much larger and has a wingspan(翼展) of 164 feet.
On September 3, Morning Star 50 took off from an airport in Yulin City in the Shaanxi province in northwest China and landed back 26 minutes later after a smooth flight. Staff told some local reporters that all flight systems worked normally. This is a good start for future flights of the solar-powered drone that could last for many days or even months at a time.
In the US, Airbus has been testing the Zephyr solar-powered drones for the past few years. Its latest version, the Zephyr S, came close to breaking the record for the longest flight. It stayed in the air for 64 days. Unluckily, the drone fell onto the ground only a few hours before it would have set a new record.
26．Which one is an advantage of solar powered drone researchers want
A．They’re cheaper than others. B．They can fly in bad weather.
C．They fly at a higher speed. D．They can stay in the air for longer.
27．What made the first version of Morning Star light
A．Its look. B．Its material. C．The power it uses. D．The tasks it performs.
28．What did the staff think of the Morning Star 50’s test flight
A．It was simple. B．It was successful.
C．It was unexpected. D．It was dangerous.
29．What can we know about Zephyr S
A．It failed to land smoothly. B．It flew for only a few hours.
C．It set a new record in the US. D．It had been tested for many years.
30．What’s the main purpose of the text
A．To compare different drones. B．To discuss drones’ future.
C．To report a drone’s test flight. D．To tell the importance of drones.
（2023·福建南平·校联考模拟预测）Researchers at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp have developed and made the world’s first robot whale shark (鲸鲨).
The robotic shark has been on display in an aquarium (水族馆) at Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park since January, 2022.
A whale shark is a slow-moving carpet shark and the largest known living fish.
Designed and built by engineers at the Shenyang-based No 111 Factory, the underwater robot is 4.7 meters long, weighs 350 kilograms and can move 42 meters a minute.
Powered by a lithium（锂） battery, it can swim, turn, float and dive like a real shark by moving its mechanical fins (鳍). The mouth and gills (鳃) can also open and close like a shark’s. The biomimetic shark is made of sensors (传感器)，multi-joint fins, batteries, and systems which enable it to avoid things in the way in all directions.
“The robot can reach a depth of 10 meters and work for as long as 10 hours,” said Fang Xuelin, a senior researcher in charge of the robot shark program.
“The shark can be remotely controlled and can also swim based on preset programs or its own sensors,” he said.
“We have built many kinds of robot fishes... the robotic whale shark is the largest mechanical fish we have made so far.” Fang added. “Our robots are to serve three purposes — to perform in aquariums for entertainment, spread knowledge about the sea and aquatic (水生的) animals among youngsters, and carry out scientific tasks such as hydrological (水文的) surveys, underwater photography and environmental examination.”
“The factory now plans to develop more types of aquatic robots, including some extinct mammals (哺乳动物)，for display in parks and schools,” he said.

（2023·福建厦门·厦门市松柏中学校考模拟预测）Why do designers of fireworks like to put the biggest bang at the end Why does a gymnast often show her best skill at the end of her performance And why does the climax(高潮) of a movie usually come at the end instead of the beginning
To answer these questions, you need to understand a rule in psychology first. It’s called the “peak-end rule”.
Please think about this: How do we usually judge(判定) a past event Do we take an average of our happiness levels across the entire event No. In fact, our memories are affected by the “peak-end rule”. We don’t remember all parts of the event equally. Instead, we only think of how the event was at the end and how it was at its “peak”. That helps us decide whether we would like to experience the event again.
One of the most famous papers on the rule was published in 1993. Scientists asked a group of people to put their hand in freezing water. People had to keep their hand in the water for 60 seconds. Then, the same group of people was asked to do the same thing again. This time, however, they had to leave their hands in the water for 30 seconds longer while the temperature was raised a little bit. They were then asked which of the two experiences they would prefer to repeat.
You might think people would choose the first one. However, most people said they would like to repeat the second experience. They chose more pain over less, but with a happier ending.
So the next time you make a plan, plan for the best things to happen at the end. Don’t worry if things don’t go according to your plans. After all, you may not remember the bad bits!
41．The underlined word “freezing” means ________ in English.
A．terribly hot B．very dirty C．quite clean D．terribly cold
42．In Paragraph 4, how long did the group of people keep their hand in the water the second time
A．30s. B．60s. C．90s. D．120s.
43．How do we decide whether we should experience an event again
A．Ask some of our closest friends for advice.
B．Think about how we felt across the entire event.
C．Think about how the event was at the end and at its best part.
D．Compare the event with the plan that we made at the beginning.
44．Which of the following can be explained by the “peak-end rule”
A．He who laughs last laughs best.
B．People is likely to enjoy their favorite part of a dish in the end.
C．During an 800-meter race, we run the fastest in the last 50 meters.
D．The most difficult part of a quiz usually appears at the end.
45．Which of the following might be a suitable title for the passage
A．All’s well that ends well B．A guide to making good plans
C．How a past event is judged D．Good beginning is half done
（2023·福建厦门·福建省同安第一中学校考模拟预测）Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality(质量) 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, the 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 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%.
46．Which fact best explains “home brand bias”
A．Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.
B．William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.
C．More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.

（2023·福建厦门·统考模拟预测）The light bulb has been called the most important invention since man-made fire. Thomas Alva Edison, born in 1847, will forever be remembered for his contributions to the light bulb. His mother, who was the making of him, knew that her son was fond of chemistry and electronics (电子学), so she gave him books to read on how to perform chemistry experiments at home at the age of 10. Thomas did every one in the book. He even set up a laboratory in 1859 and spent most of his time experimenting. Before he died in 1931, Edison patented 1,093 of his inventions, including the microphone, telephone receiver and electric pen etc.
What makes Edison’s contribution to electric lighting so extraordinary (卓越的) is that he didn’t stop with improving the bulb. In order to improve it, he tested tens of thousands of different materials to use for the filament (灯丝). Although he was often laughed, he finally showed the world’s first working light bulb in 1879 after making over ten thousand attempts.
Asked by a reporter, “How did it feel to fail 10,000 times ” Edison briefly replied, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” He always stressed the importance of hard work and determination (决心). He never felt discouraged, or was likely to be hopeless of success.
51．Edison invented the light bulb at the age of ________.

（2023·福建厦门·统考模拟预测）It is said that there are kinds of traditions around the world when a child’s tooth falls out. Leaving a tooth under a pillow (枕头) for the tooth fairy (仙子) is popular in Western cultures. Here are 3 other interesting tooth traditions for you to know.
Toss (扔) The Tooth In The Air Many children in the Middle East don’t leave their teeth for a fairy. Instead, they go outside and toss their tooth up in the air, aiming towards the sun. It will also be helpful for the growth of new teeth. They may also be even more powerful than before.
Tooth On The Roof In China and India, kids will toss bottom teeth on the roof. The upper ones are placed somewhere low, such as under the bed. The teeth are hoped to be taken by a bird or mouse. This is believed to make sure that new ones grow as fast as possible.
Keep That Tooth Hidden Not everyone wants to give their teeth away to animals or fairies. If a bird steals your baby teeth, it is considered bad luck in Nepal. So, children will hide their teeth. Burying (埋) the tooth near a hospital in Turkey is supposed to help the child become a doctor.

（2023·福建漳州·校联考模拟预测）Chinese people are eating too much salt. On general, people in China eat about 10.5 grams of salt each day, much higher than the 6 grams advised by Chinese Dietary Guidelines (2016). To solve this, China issued(发布) the first salt reduction guide for its food industry on April 18. The government hopes that can help people have salt in a proper way.
If the guide is followed properly, the salt intake(摄入量) for Chinese people will drop by 20 percent by 2030. The salt we take in mainly comes from processed food. For example, there is about 0.66 grams of salt in a 104-gram can of Lay’s potato chips. That is about 10 percent of the daily salt intake. A 100-gram bag of Kang Shi Fu instant noodles has nearly 2 grams of salt. Therefore, it’s necessary for the companies to reduce salt in their products.
A small amount of salt makes food taste better and is important for good health, but eating too much increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes(中风), the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Less salt leads to better health. And there’s no need to worry that food will be less tasty in the future. A study found that it’s easy for people to reduce their salt intake. Although you may think your food is not salty enough at first, you will get used to the new taste soon.

As we all know, there is very short of water in lots of areas in Africa. However, there is a magical tree which can help to solve the water problem. It is called the “sacred（神圣的）tree of Africa”—baobab tree（猴面包树）.
A baobab tree is huge like an upside-down carrot. It can grow so large that it requires more than 40 people holding hands to circle it. Actually, most baobab trees are not very tall, only about ten meters.
A baobab tree is full of treasures. It is said that if everyone in Africa had a 10-meter-tall baobab tree, it would solve more than 50% of their food problems. In hot Africa, water is the most needed. When the rainy season comes, the baobab tree starts to hold water in its body. The baobab tree is said to be the most water-holding tree. It can hold thousands of kilograms of water in its body. Local people usually cut a hole in the tree with a knife and get clean water from it. The baobab tree leaves are a bit like spinach（菠菜）leaves. True to its Chinese name, the fruit of the baobab tree tastes like bread. But it’s not like bread with cream. It tastes dry. Local people seldom get stomach problems because of eating it.
Baobab trees are not only useful for humans, but for animals in nature! Their fruit can be good food for monkeys, lizards and other African animals. Their leaves can also be eaten to get enough water.

（2023·福建漳州·校联考模拟预测）Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages!
All around the animal kingdom (王国), there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants for example talk with each other using infrasound (次声波) that can’t be heard by humans. Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.
After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning. For example, Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things: food, sleep positions, invasion (侵犯) of personal space, and unwanted advances (求爱).
This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine (路线) to tell the bees where the nectar (花蜜) was, Vox reported.

（2023·福建漳州·校联考模拟预测）Reading books brings with it many positive effects giving people the opportunity to explore new worlds and meet new people both real and imagined. It improves our knowledge and understanding of the world around us and those far away.
Setting aside a day to celebrate books traces its beginnings to Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andrés. In 1922 he suggested the idea as a way to honor fellow countryman author Miguel de Cervantes. Four years later the first celebration took place on 7 October, Cervantes’ birthday, but was moved to 23 April, the date of his death, in 1930.
In 1995, the UNESCO General Conference decided to pay respect to authors and books world-wide as a way of encouraging everyone to access books. Choosing 23 April seemed a logical choice, besides being the date of Cervante’s death, it also happens to be the date William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega died, among other prominent authors. What’s more, several well-known authors were born on 23 April making it a symbolic date in the world literature.
Since 2001, one city around the world is chosen to be the UNESCO World Book Capital for a year. The selected city is tasked with carrying out activities throughout the year to encourage “a culture of reading and promoting its values in all ages and population groups at home and abroad.” UNESCO has named Accra as the 2023 World Book Capital.

China’s biggest solar-powered drone(太阳能无人机), Qimingxing-50 or Morning Star 50, finished its first test flight in September, 2022. The drone was built by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China(AVIC, 中国航空工业集团有限公司).
Drones have been used for quite a few years now. There are different ways of increasing the flying time. However, all these methods become less useful compared with the unlimited(无限的) power provided by the Sun. That’s why researchers have been working to make solar-powered drones that can not only stay in the air for longer but also perform more tasks while in the sky.
In 2018, China tested the first version(版本) of Morning Star, which was 91 feet wide. Made from a special kind of plastic, the drone was so light, weighing only 41 pared with it, the Morning Star 50 is much larger and has a wingspan(翼展) of 164 feet.
On September 3, Morning Star 50 took off from an airport in Yulin City in the Shaanxi province in northwest China and landed back 26 minutes later after a smooth flight. Staff told some local reporters that all flight systems worked normally. This is a good start for future flights of the solar-powered drone that could last for many days or even months at a time.
In the US, Airbus has been testing the Zephyr solar-powered drones for the past few years. Its latest version, the Zephyr S, came close to breaking the record for the longest flight. It stayed in the air for 64 days. Unluckily, the drone fell onto the ground only a few hours before it would have set a new record.

The robotic shark has been on display in an aquarium (水族馆) at Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park since January, 2022.
A whale shark is a slow-moving carpet shark and the largest known living fish.
Designed and built by engineers at the Shenyang-based No 111 Factory, the underwater robot is 4.7 meters long, weighs 350 kilograms and can move 42 meters a minute.
Powered by a lithium（锂） battery, it can swim, turn, float and dive like a real shark by moving its mechanical fins (鳍). The mouth and gills (鳃) can also open and close like a shark’s. The biomimetic shark is made of sensors (传感器)，multi-joint fins, batteries, and systems which enable it to avoid things in the way in all directions.
“The robot can reach a depth of 10 meters and work for as long as 10 hours,” said Fang Xuelin, a senior researcher in charge of the robot shark program.
“The shark can be remotely controlled and can also swim based on preset programs or its own sensors,” he said.
“We have built many kinds of robot fishes... the robotic whale shark is the largest mechanical fish we have made so far.” Fang added. “Our robots are to serve three purposes — to perform in aquariums for entertainment, spread knowledge about the sea and aquatic (水生的) animals among youngsters, and carry out scientific tasks such as hydrological (水文的) surveys, underwater photography and environmental examination.”
“The factory now plans to develop more types of aquatic robots, including some extinct mammals (哺乳动物)，for display in parks and schools,” he said.

（2023·福建厦门·厦门市松柏中学校考模拟预测）Why do designers of fireworks like to put the biggest bang at the end Why does a gymnast often show her best skill at the end of her performance And why does the climax(高潮) of a movie usually come at the end instead of the beginning
To answer these questions, you need to understand a rule in psychology first. It’s called the “peak-end rule”.
Please think about this: How do we usually judge(判定) a past event Do we take an average of our happiness levels across the entire event No. In fact, our memories are affected by the “peak-end rule”. We don’t remember all parts of the event equally. Instead, we only think of how the event was at the end and how it was at its “peak”. That helps us decide whether we would like to experience the event again.
One of the most famous papers on the rule was published in 1993. Scientists asked a group of people to put their hand in freezing water. People had to keep their hand in the water for 60 seconds. Then, the same group of people was asked to do the same thing again. This time, however, they had to leave their hands in the water for 30 seconds longer while the temperature was raised a little bit. They were then asked which of the two experiences they would prefer to repeat.
You might think people would choose the first one. However, most people said they would like to repeat the second experience. They chose more pain over less, but with a happier ending.
So the next time you make a plan, plan for the best things to happen at the end. Don’t worry if things don’t go according to your plans. After all, you may not remember the bad bits!
41．The underlined word “freezing” means ________ in English.
A．terribly hot B．very dirty C．quite clean D．terribly cold
42．In Paragraph 4, how long did the group of people keep their hand in the water the second time
A．30s. B．60s. C．90s. D．120s.
43．How do we decide whether we should experience an event again
A．Ask some of our closest friends for advice.
B．Think about how we felt across the entire event.
C．Think about how the event was at the end and at its best part.
D．Compare the event with the plan that we made at the beginning.
44．Which of the following can be explained by the “peak-end rule”
A．He who laughs last laughs best.
B．People is likely to enjoy their favorite part of a dish in the end.
C．During an 800-meter race, we run the fastest in the last 50 meters.
D．The most difficult part of a quiz usually appears at the end.
45．Which of the following might be a suitable title for the passage
A．All’s well that ends well B．A guide to making good plans

（2023·福建厦门·福建省同安第一中学校考模拟预测）Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality(质量) 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, the 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 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%.
46．Which fact best explains “home brand bias”
A．Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.
B．William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.

（2023·福建厦门·统考模拟预测）The light bulb has been called the most important invention since man-made fire. Thomas Alva Edison, born in 1847, will forever be remembered for his contributions to the light bulb. His mother, who was the making of him, knew that her son was fond of chemistry and electronics (电子学), so she gave him books to read on how to perform chemistry experiments at home at the age of 10. Thomas did every one in the book. He even set up a laboratory in 1859 and spent most of his time experimenting. Before he died in 1931, Edison patented 1,093 of his inventions, including the microphone, telephone receiver and electric pen etc.
What makes Edison’s contribution to electric lighting so extraordinary (卓越的) is that he didn’t stop with improving the bulb. In order to improve it, he tested tens of thousands of different materials to use for the filament (灯丝). Although he was often laughed, he finally showed the world’s first working light bulb in 1879 after making over ten thousand attempts.
Asked by a reporter, “How did it feel to fail 10,000 times ” Edison briefly replied, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” He always stressed the importance of hard work and determination (决心). He never felt discouraged, or was likely to be hopeless of success.
