The products which were marked “Made in China” gave the buyer an impression of “low pride and low cost, low technology and development”. The statement used to be true, but now it has changed.“Made in China” is becoming a leading part in the world market. Chinas garment industry (制衣业) has been investing in producing technology and training for decades, and its workforce has collectively gotten better at sewing garments. As a result, the quality of Chinesemade clothes is rising fast. It has been home to a highlyskilled, highlyspecialized garment industry, one that supplies even some highend (高端的) labels and offers the best mix of price, speed, and quality.“If I was to make a basic mens jean, Id make that in Pakistan，” said Edward Hertzman, coowner of the trade publication Sourcing Journal. “If I was going to make a fashionable womens garment, I would move to China because their skill set is better, their hand is better, their finishing is better, and they can handle that type of fashion.”Indeed, luxury fashion labels now routinely make things in China. Burberry, Armani, and Prada have all produced things there, because theyre still able to get good workmanship at a relatively low price. Even the Japanese brand Visvim, known for its crazy attention to detail, also produces highend, handmade footwear in China. Despite the rising wages and costs of doing business in China, companies have not walked away. “China is viewed by people who make buying decisions as unique and hard to copy elsewhere，” says Josh Green, CEO of Panjiva. 语篇解读：本文是议论文。文章讨论了“中国制造”发生的变化。中国制造从过去的低端、廉价、质量不高正逐渐向现在的高端、价高、质优上转变。4Which of the following is NOT true about “Made in China”？AIt used to be associated with poor quality.BIt has lost its leading status in the world market.CIts products are recognized by luxury fashion brands.DIt reflects Chinas investment in producing technology.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知“中国制造”现在在世界上正占据着主导地位。故选B。5Edward Hertzman thinks highly of “Made in China” in such aspects as _.workers skillslow pricesadvanced technologya sense of fashionABC D解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段可知Edward Hertzman认为“中国制造”的优势在于技术娴熟、专业、时尚，中国制造已不是低廉的代名词。6What is the similarity between Prada and Visvim?ABoth of them are from Japan.BNeither of them sells at a low price.CThey both make products in China.DThey both produce handmade footwear.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第四段可知这两种牌子现在都在中国制造产品。7What can be learned from the last paragraph?ADoing business in China costs a lot more now.BChinese companies are more creative than others.CForeign producers want to copy Chinas success.DRising costs stop the interest of foreign companies.解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知现在中国的工资上涨、制造成本增加，这说明，现在在中国做生意成本更高了。C(2017聊城模拟)You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, youre not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (奖杯)?If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. Shes a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesnt have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.“The trophy has to stand for something，” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best. Others say that theres no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.“I think we should encourage kids participation in sports，” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids efforts.”Barish argues that when we single_out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式)，” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. Theyll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks theres nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。如果孩子参加体育比赛，那么是不是每个人都该得到奖杯呢？文章就这个问题给出了两种不同的看法。8According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy?ATony, the most attractive player of the soccer team.BDavid, a soccer player who is both clever and funny.CPeter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals.DJim, a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段可知，斯坦福大学的心理学教授Carol Dwe
