The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products,from food and drinks to clothing,mobile phones and electric vehicles.For example,White Rabbit,whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many,launched its perfume and lip balm. "We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share, "said Shen Qinfengjhe company's marketing manager.Now,the guochao trend is ° moving to the next stage,where its success will rely,first and foremost,on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western recognition. '* according to Kerra Zhou,founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma.No matter how the guochao trend develops,there's one thing that won't change： Behind the craze is people's positive attitude toward the country's development and their recognition of growing confidence in national culture,added Zhou.8.

The Root of Guochao.DAccording to the IUCN Red List 32, 000 species are threatened with extinction.Although we might be working hard to help some species come back from the brink,we might also be eating some threatened species without even realising it.Searching industrial fishing records,researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood,and this is done legally.When sold,these fish are not required to be labelled according to species,so consumers have no way of knowing what they're eating,let alone whether they're endangered or not.The team stresses that is only the tip of the iceberg,as they only looked at a specific section of records and excluded groups of fish such as sharks,which are commonly eaten in Australia,Europe,and some Asian countries.To solve the mess we're creating in the ocean,the researchers have come up with some ways,one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish (水母).That might sound a little unusual,but it's not the first time scientists have suggested it as a food source. And with jellyfish being one of a minority of wild animals that scientists think might be actually increasing in numbers around the world,it makes a lot of sense. With jellyfish as a food source,other endangered species may be kept in the sea.Of course,there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu.CarissaKlein,University of Queensland (UQ) conservation scientist,thinks that the labelling of seafood needs to be improved,so that people are more aware of what they are eating.Besides,it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. nWe would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants,both of which are endangered, "added Klein.12. What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Almost 100 endangered fish are sold as seafood.B. Consumers don't know the fish they're eating are endangered.C. Fish are not required to be labelled according to species when sold.D. Researchers only looked at a particular part of records and excluded some groups of fish.13. What can you infer from Paragraph 4? A. The population of jelly fish might be increasing around the world.B. Eating jellyfish sounds so unusual that people should not give it a try.C. Making jellyfish as a food source is a new idea put forward by scientists.D. The consumption of jelly fish may help other endangered species in the sea.14. Why does the last paragraph mention "mountain gorillas" and "elephants"？ A. To emphasize the importance of labelling the seafood that people are eating.B. To state the fact that people would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants.C. To support the suggestion for fisheries' better partnership with protection policies.D. To inform the readers that mountain gorillas and elephants are endangered animals.15. Where is this text most likely from? A. A science fiction.B. A government report.C. A brochure.D. A magazine.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)As the saying goes, "When in Rome,do as the Romans do.
