22、They say there is power in names and nowhere is that truer than China, where Chinese characters often carry a deep significance. For any brand planning to enter the Chinese market, choosing the right Chinese name is usually a top priority.

In choosing their Chinese name, brands should consider something that is memorable, easy to pronounce and with no negative meaning in the multiple Chinese dialects, and that conveys a sense of the brand’s DNA. This can be a challenge for luxury fashion houses, as their name often comes with its own heritage(传统) and meaning. However, they also have the advantage that they may enjoy a certain degree of brand recognition in China.

Brands have three main options when it comes to choosing a Chinese name. The majority choose a simple transliteration(音译), choosing a series of characters with sounds that are closely similar to the pronunciation of the brand’s original name. For example, Dior’s Chinese name is“迪奥”(di’ao).The two characters, while meaningless in combination, respectively mean “to enlighten” and “mysterious”, a smart choice for this brand.

Since more and more Chinese people are travelling abroad and they tend to pick up a short form, for instance, LV for Louis Vuitton, brands might wonder whether it is even necessary to spend considerable time and energy coming up with an official Chinese name. Nevertheless, most marketers still advise that brands select an official Chinese name. “Although brands only use their English name on their shop front, they still need a Chinese name, as their customers, sales assistants and floor managers usually won’t use the English name,” argues Louis Houdart, CEO of China-based branding agency Creative Capital.

Houdart adds that it is important for brands to establish and popularize their Chinese name, otherwise they might run the risk of customers’ coming up with their own understanding and pronunciation, messing their brand’s image and leaving it open to copyright infringement(侵权).

【1】What’s the bright side for luxury fashion houses while choosing a Chinese name?

A．It’s possible for those brands to be recognized by Chinese customers.

B．It’s lucky to decide a Chinese name that can be accepted by Chinese consumers.

C．It’s easy for them to contain their heritage and meaning in their Chinese name.

D．It’s unnecessary for those brands to spend energy choosing a proper Chinese name.

【2】What is the best choice for the brand “BVLGARI” according to the passage?

A．Giving the name a short form “BV”.

B．Translating the name into宝格丽.

C．Ignoring Chinese customers’ demand.

D．Sticking to the English name.

【3】Which of the following most probably agrees with Houdart’s argument?

A．Diane Von Furstenberg is usually referred to as “DVF” instead of a Chinese name.

B．It is essential for brands to set up their Chinese name and make it understandable.

C．Louis Vuitton has never meant to come up with an official Chinese name so far.

D．Chinese consumers get fairly used to pronouncing those brand’s names in English.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．Behind the Right Chinese Name

B．The Influence of Famous Brands

C．The Power of Brand Recognition

D．The History of Famous Brands

24、   The expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or behave in a similar way as a larger group.

People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct explains why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true.

For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction. Teens and young adults may feel forced to smoke, or drink alcohol, which might encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to keep up with the peers.

However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off smoking, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one.

Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, it can also be so subtle that a person may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, simply going with an instinct is risky. Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action, or it is simply because everyone else is doing the same thing.

【1】What does the underlined word “instinct” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.A natural tendency. B.An acquired ability.

C.A popular idea. D.An obvious mistake.

【2】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.Potential causes of peer pressure.

B.Possible positive effects of peer pressure.

C.Negative consequences of peer pressure.

D.Tips for coping with peer pressure.

【3】What is the author’s suggestion when making a decision?

A.Simply go with an instinct.

B.Ask for advice from adults.

C.Listen to the inner motivation.

D.Follow in the footsteps of others.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to peer pressure?

A.Objective. B.Ambiguous.

C.Critical. D.Indifferent.

26、阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One night, when I was in deep sleep, our neighbor from across the street fiercely knocked on our front door in a great hurry. She was screaming for us to open it. We ran to the door, and she said only one word as she took off running: “FIRE!”

Immediately we ran out just as the fire engines raced onto our street with their sirens(警报器) screaming. The fire was huge! Flames(火焰) were shooting wildly out of the windows and through the roof of the hundred-year-old, three-story house next door. The flames were so tall that they were visible a few miles away. Fire engines filled our entire street, from one end to the other, and even blocked the two cross streets.

My husband raced next door to be sure our neighbors had gotten out. All family members were outside and safe, including the dog. He ran to the houses on the other street that backed up to the house on fire and banged on those doors to be sure the neighbors were safe, too. They were. The air was thick with smoke, and it was hard to see and breathe as he came back down our street and arrived home.

We were almost grateful for COVID-19. Because of it, we were wearing our masks as we always did when we were outside. We sat outside watching the firefighters do the wonderful job that they did.

Our street was crowded with fire trucks, eleven in all. One engine had a monster light on it that made the street bright enough that it looked like it was high noon on a sunny day. The medical workers and ambulances also came in case they were needed. Thank goodness, they were not. Our house became kind of a “safe house” with our next-door neighbors coming and going, as needed. It was a safe place for their dog, too. We made sure she had plenty of water, and she stayed in the house with our dog.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After around two hours, the fire was completely controlled.
