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

　　percent of the Chinese population responsible for one-third 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 well-known cars，clothing and jewelry brands.For example，the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing 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 high-quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods.In 2024，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 “ self-reward” 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.

　　(2024·福建福州二次質(zhì)檢)

　　The 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature went to the French novelist for“ the art of memory with which he has uncovered the life-world of the occupation”．

　　Although the 69-year-old 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 Jewish-Italian 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 (污點(diǎn)) 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 York-based 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(chǎn) literary figure’s personal affairs

　　B．a(chǎn) famous novelist’s family background

　　C．a(chǎn) 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 world-famous 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

　　5．解析：選C。主旨大意題。文章第一至三段提出主題：第四至九段介紹了帕特里克·莫迪亞諾的作品的特點(diǎn)；最后一段是對(duì)帕特里克·莫迪亞諾的評(píng)價(jià)。由此可見(jiàn)本題答案為C項(xiàng)。

　　6．解析：選C。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第四段第一句可知帕特里克·莫迪亞諾是在二戰(zhàn)后出生的，不是二戰(zhàn)的幸存者，故排除A項(xiàng)；倒數(shù)第三段提到了“the loss of identity”，但那是在介紹帕特里克·莫迪亞諾文學(xué)作品的主題并非B項(xiàng)內(nèi)容，故排除B項(xiàng)；根據(jù)第二段可知帕特里克·莫迪亞諾在獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)之前只是在法國(guó)很有名氣，與D項(xiàng)中的“world-famous”相悖，故排除D項(xiàng)。根據(jù)第六段第一句可知帕特里克·莫迪亞諾的生活受到了二戰(zhàn)的影響，故答案為C項(xiàng)。

　　7．解析：選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“uncovered the life-world of the occupation”(揭開(kāi)了被占領(lǐng)期間人們的生活世界)及倒數(shù)第二、三、四段可推知答案為B項(xiàng)。

　　1．考查副詞。句意：但是，奇怪的是駱駝總是找干草……。設(shè)空處在句首修飾后面整個(gè)句子，作評(píng)注性狀語(yǔ)，故此處需用副詞。

　　strangely

　　2．考查時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。這里表示駱駝一直找干草吃的時(shí)間。根據(jù)上下文邏輯，可知設(shè)空處應(yīng)填：until/till/before。
