“China Haul”走红:空箱而来,满载而归

Many foreign visitors now come to China with empty suitcases. When they go home, their suitcases are full. People call this “China Haul (中国扫货)”.

This month, many of them are heading to the Canton Fair (广交会) in Guangzhou. People from many countries walk through the halls and look at Chinese products: robots, phones, toys and sports shoes. Some of them buy a lot there.

Other visitors go shopping in Yiwu, Zhejiang. The city is not huge, but it has a very big international trade market. They buy toys and gifts there. Then they show them in short videos.

China is now opening its doors to foreign visitors. From January to August, about 24 million of them came to the country. They came to see China, and they also came to shop. “They do not come only to see China. They come to find out what China makes,” a shopping‑mall manager in Beijing said.

Empty suitcases in, full suitcases out. That is “China Haul” today.

1.1. What do many foreign visitors come to China with?

A Big boxes.

B Empty suitcases.

C Sports shoes.

D New phones.

解析:选B。B 细节理解题。第一段就点明事实:“Many foreign visitors now come to China with empty suitcases”,紧接着一句“When they go home, their suitcases are full”,可见他们带到中国来的是空箱子。故选 B。

2.2. What do some visitors do at the fair?

A Meet their old friends.

B Sell toys to China.

C Work in the halls.

D Buy a lot of things.

解析:选D。D 细节理解题。第二段先写“People from many countries walk through the halls and look at Chinese products”,接着补一句“Some of them buy a lot there”,可见这些人并不只是看看,还大量采购。文中只把手机、玩具列为展品,并未说游客把玩具卖给中国,“Sell toys to China”把买卖方向说反了;文中没有信息表明这些来访者在展馆工作,而“Meet their old friends”文中根本没有提到。故选D。 3. A 词意指代题。第三段先说“They

3.3. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A The toys and gifts.

B The videos and photos.

C The Chinese visitors.

D The big markets.

解析:选A。A 词意指代题。第三段先说“They buy toys and gifts there”,紧接着说“Then they show them in short videos”,这里的them承接上一句,指他们刚买下的玩具和礼物。short videos是他们展示这些东西的方式,不是被展示的对象;而义乌市场里的顾客是外国游客,与“The Chinese visitors”无关。故选A。

4.4. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?

A People stop visiting China.

B Visitors stay for a long time.

C Shopping in China is popular.

D China has many big cities.

解析:选C。C 段落大意题。第四段给出“From January to August, about 24 million of them came to the country”,并说明“China is now opening its doors to foreign visitors”,再加上“they also came to shop”,文中数据显示今年1到8月有约2400万外国游客来华,由此可知,本段主要表明来中国购物十分流行。文中提到广州、义乌两座城市,但那只是购物地点,推不出“城市多”;“People stop visiting China”与该数据相反;文中没有提供逗留时长的信息,“Visitors stay for a long time”无从得出。故选C。

5.5. What is the best title for the passage?

A Robots Made in China.

B Visitors Bring China Home.

C Life in a Big Market.

D A New Way to Travel.

解析:选B。B 主旨大意题。全文五段都围绕外国游客来中国买东西展开:带空箱子来、装满箱子回去,在广州的广交会看中国货,在义乌买玩具和礼物,今年1到8月有两千多万人来看中国、也来购物。机器人只是第二段展品里的一项,义乌市场只是第三段的场景,“Robots Made in China”“Life in a Big Market”都只覆盖一段,因此不能概括全文;“A New Way to Travel”又太宽泛,没有落到“购物”这条主线上。故选B。
