Trips to the East became more favourable when traders found silks and spices(香料). These treasures were not ordinary goods that were easy to get. Many people wanted them and it was a good way to become wealthy.The Silk Road was not a real road. It was a route(路线) between the East and the West. It went through China, Turkey, and Greece. Some traders travelled over land and others sailed across the sea. There was danger along both routes.Traders who went over the land used camels and horses. First, the traders crossed the desert. Then, they climbed over mountains. After that, the traders still had hundreds of miles to go. Bad weather was often a problem. Robbers who stole the silks and spices also caused trouble.Traders who crossed the sea faced some of the same problems. There were storms on the sea. Water and winds could push the boats in the wrong direction. Pirates(海盗) also chased the ships and they stole the goods and took control of the ships.Over time, the Silk Road changed people in both the East and the West. Traders shared stories about faraway lands. They brought back drawings of the places and things they had seen, which helped people learn about new cultures. As a result of the Silk Road, the world seemed much smaller.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

Increasingly, that’s no longerthe 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 who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.“When I first went to the United Kingdom i n 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, don’t jus t 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.

Older Chinese people don’t like foreign products any more.23.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 1997.24.Who did most of the research for this report?A. Credit Suisse.B. CCTV 9.C. South China Morning Post.D.

There are ______ matches listed in the form in the month of May.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. fiveBFrom the time we were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia（波利尼西亚）it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food.Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing. They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well, or to bless a new-born baby. In most other places, spitting means something completely different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many countries, it may mean that you hate someone. When we go to visit someone we say “Hello！”Or “How are you?" or things like that.But if you are visiting an East African village, everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you. The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly, without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You should wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.In a village in Arab, a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front, he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It is rude to refuse. ( ) 41. From this passage we know .A. it’s good manners to use a knife and fo rk to eatB. it's bad manners to stand and talkC. it's good manners not to talk with our mouths fullD. how to shake hands when we introduce people( ) 42. In many places，spitting may mean .A. you give a new-born baby the blessingB. you want a sick person to get wellC. you hate someoneD. you show your love to your relatives or friends( ) 43. If you visit an East African village，you .A. should say “Hello！”or “How are you？” to othersB. should talk to the villagers quietlyC. should be very careful and not to pay any attention to othersD. must wait until your friend has finished his work( )44. What does the underlined word blessing mean?A. 讨厌B. 喜欢C. 礼物D. 祝福( )45. In a village in Arab, if a visitor passes a tent in front, he will .A. be invited to eatB. refuse to get inC. be asked to leaveD. ask for foodCFor many years, T-shirts were simple short-sleeved (短袖的) undershirts for men and boys. T-shirts used to be of one color-white. And because they were worn under shirts, they were generally not seen.Today, T-shirts have become fashionable. They can be seen everywhere and on everyone.

Yet T-shirts are still cheap and last long, as well as easy to care for. Smart, comfortable and convenient to wear, they have become one of Americans’ newest ideas in fashion. Alt hough T-shirts are now of different materials and styles, the most popular kind is the traditional cotton T-shirt with a slogan (标语) or a picture on the front. A T-shirt may have a single word, a popular phrase, a picture of popular singers, or an advertisement. As T-shirts are becoming more and more popular, new designs are coming up all the time.( ) 46.
