　　A

　　Chinese consumers’crazy appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable，with just 2

　　percent of the Chinese population responsible for one­third of the world’s luxury items.

　　As

　　China’s

　　economic

　　miracle

　　develops，the

　　market opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are increasing.Luxury consumption in China now extends ways beyond well­known cars，clothing and jewelry brands.For example，the luxury jet market in China is the fastest­growing in the world，even outstripping that of the United States，with a market share of 25 percent.This trend appears to continue，with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China，compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US.But more importantly，China’s luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items.

　　China’s high­quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods.In 2017，China became the largest market for red wine in the world，even overtaking France，with 1.86 billion bottles consumed in China last year.Over the past five years，China’s red wine consumption has grown 136 percent.

　　According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing，public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to “ gain face” and publicly display social climbing through material possessions.On the other hand，it is “ self­reward” that lies behind consumer motivation in this area.Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success.But this has little to do with “ gaining face” and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment.

　　Finally，the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally.

　　1．What do you think the author would most probably be?

　　A．A news reporter.　B．An accountant.

　　C．A professor.

　　D．A conductor.

　　2．The underlined word “ outstripping” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．

　　A．falling far behind of

　　3．What can we learn from Paragraph 2 and 3?

　　A．China’s luxury jet market growth is only 2% to 3%.

　　C．The luxury jet market in the US shares 25% of the jet consumption in the world.

　　D．China’s red wine consumption has increased to 1.86 billion bottles since 2017.

　　4．What can be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Future Private Luxury Consumption in China

　　(2015·福建福州二次质检)

　　The 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature went to the French novelist for“ the art of memory with which he has uncovered the life­world of the occupation”．

　　Although the 69­year­old writer is a very popular literary figure in France，he is little known elsewhere.

　　So who is this Patrick Modiano，why does his memory have such an influence upon him，and what exactly has he uncovered?

　　Modiano was born in a suburb of Paris right after World War

　　ended in Europe in July 1945.His father was a Jewish­Italian businessman who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris.

　　As The New Yorker magazine put it，Europeans born in 1945 share a condition—They escaped the war，but “not the taint (污点) of the war”．

　　Modiano’s life has been influenced by Nazi Germany’s occupation during the war，and his family’s connections to it.According to New York­based newspaper Forward，his father survived the war dishonorably.When Paris’Jews were brought together to be sent to concentration camps，the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.

　　“The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared，the people who were made to disappear，” French writer Clemence Boulouque，also an expert in Jewish studies，told The New Yorker magazine.

　　In his more than three dozen novels，Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes：Jewishness，the Nazi occupation，and the loss of identity.His characters collect pieces of old evidence，handwriting，photographs，police files，and newspaper cuttings.

　　His most admired novel，Missing Person，is a good example.It’s the story about a detective who has lost his memory.He tries to find out who he really is by following his own steps through history.

　　Although Modiano’s win is a surprise outside France，people are celebrating in his home country.Modiano is the 15th French literature winner.After Le Clezio’s 2008 win，it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon.

　　5．The passage is mainly about ________.

　　A．a literary figure’s personal affairs

　　B．a famous novelist’s family background

　　C．a Nobel Prize winner and his literary achievement

　　D．European people’s sufferings during World War

　　6．Which of the following statements about Patrick Modiano is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．He is a survivor of World War .

　　B．He tried to find back his lost identity.

　　C．World War

　　has an impact on his life.

　　D．He was world­famous before winning the Nobel Prize.

　　7．Modiano won the Nobel Prize because of ________.

　　A．his extraordinary character

　　B．his unique way of recording history

　　C．his characters’unusual experiences

　　D．his special connections to the war

　　8．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

　　A．Modiano’s parents were sent to the concentration camp

　　B．Modiano’s winning the Nobel Prize was beyond expectation

　　C．Modiano’s father had nothing to do with the Nazis

　　D．Clemence Boulouque is also of Jewish origin

　　【语篇解读】　本文为记叙文。介绍了2017年诺贝尔文学奖获得者法国作家帕特里克·莫迪亚诺及其文学成就。

　　5．解析：选C。主旨大意题。文章第一至三段提出主题：第四至九段介绍了帕特里克·莫迪亚诺的作品的特点；最后一段是对帕特里克·莫迪亚诺的评价。由此可见本题答案为C项。

　　6．解析：选C。事实细节题。根据第四段第一句可知帕特里克·莫迪亚诺是在二战后出生的，不是二战的幸存者，故排除A项；倒数第三段提到了“the loss of identity”，但那是在介绍帕特里克·莫迪亚诺文学作品的主题并非B项内容，故排除B项；根据第二段可知帕特里克·莫迪亚诺在获得诺贝尔奖之前只是在法国很有名气，与D项中的“world­famous”相悖，故排除D项。根据第六段第一句可知帕特里克·莫迪亚诺的生活受到了二战的影响，故答案为C项。

　　7．解析：选B。推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“uncovered the life­world of the occupation”(揭开了被占领期间人们的生活世界)及倒数第二、三、四段可推知答案为B项。

　　8．解析：选B。推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句可知答案为B项。

　　【语篇解读】　与青草相比，骆驼更喜欢吃干草，这是为什么呢？

　　1．考查副词。句意：但是，奇怪的是骆驼总是找干草……。设空处在句首修饰后面整个句子，作评注性状语，故此处需用副词。

　　strangely

　　2．考查时间状语从句。这里表示骆驼一直找干草吃的时间。根据上下文逻辑，可知设空处应填：until/till/before。

　　until/till/before

　　3．考查代词。“名词＋of＋名词性物主代词”为固定用法。a classmate of mine＝one

　　of my classmates。

　　mine

　　4．考查宾语从句。根据下文作者同学的回答，可知此空应填why。

　　why

　　5．考查冠词。sense在本句中为可数名词且表示泛指，故用不定冠词。

　　a

　　6．考查非谓语动词作状语。主语the camel与fear为逻辑上的主动关系且表示伴随，故用现在分词形式。

　　fearing

　　7．考查形容词比较级。根据语境中的more hunger­resistant可知设空处为than。

　　than

　　8．考查名词。句意：不幸的是，许多人只看到了骆驼非凡的表现，但很少有人明白骆驼为此所做的准备。make preparations for...是固定短语，意为“为……做准备”。

　　preparations

　　9．考查介词。like像……一样，符合语境。

　　like

　　10．考查主谓一致。主语life为第三人称单数，故need后需加“s”。

　　needs
