A new trend is getting popular in China. It’s guochao or China-Chic. Guochao adds traditional Chinese culture into products, and it shows the rise of China’s native fashion. Guochao got people’s attention in 2018. Before that, the market was controlled by foreign companies. There were few Chinese brands. To win the market share, many Chinese brands followed the footsteps of these Western brands. In 2018, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning made changes to the situation. It introduced its Wu Dao collection to the world. The collection not only looked fashionable, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It quickly caught people’s attention at home and abroad. And it created amazing sales. Later, many Chinese brands, from food, drinks and clothing to mobile phones and cars, started to add Chinese culture into their products. Even the film and music industries made every effort to create Chinese styles. “We want our products to be popular among young people,” they said. Young people gradually converted their attention from Western culture to guochao. They accepted it with pleasure. What’s more, they started to develop interest in traditional Chinese art and literature. Now they wear traditional clothes, practice Chinese calligraphy and play Chinese musical instruments. They are proud of Chinese culture and trying to spread it to people around the world. No matter how guochao develops, there is one thing that won’t change—people’s confidence in our country’s development and culture is growing. 46. What will you see when walking around the city? ______________________________________ 47. What was the market controlled by before 2018? ______________________________________ 48. When did Li-Ning introduce Wu Dao collection to the world? ______________________________________ 49. Why did the film and music industries make every effort to create Chinese style? ______________________________________ 50. How do young people feel about Chinese culture? ______________________________________ 51. 书面表达 请根据要求完成短文写作，并将作文写在答题卡对应题目的答题位置上。随着中国文化的发展，越来越多的年轻人喜爱上了中国文化，并用中国文化中的特定元素与潮流的外型相结合，设计出“国潮单品”，吸引了国内外的关注。假如你是东莞某一初中九年级学生李华，你校将举办China-Chic Cultural Festival (国潮文化节)，打算邀请你的外国好友Andy参加。请你根据以下提示，用英文给他写一封邀请信，内容包括： 注意：词数为80左右 (开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数)；要点齐全，可适当增加细节；不得出现真实姓名和校名；条理清楚，语句通顺，意义连贯，书写规范。 Dear Andy, Here is good news for you. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking forward to your reply Yours, Li Hua 2024—2025学年度第一学期期末质量自查 九年级英语试题 （考试时间：75分钟，满分90分） 一、语法选择（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 【1~10题答案】 【答案】1.
