China has become the world’s largest producer and market of EVs (电车). According to a report, 9.58 million Chinese-made EVs were produced and 9.49 million were sold in 2023. Among the total sales, 1.2 million EVs were exported (出口).
The Chinese government has been encouraging EVs as part of its effort for green, high-quality development. As a result, China’s EV industry develops very quickly. At Auto (汽车) China 2004, BYD was the only company showing EVs there. At Auto China 2024, there were 278 different EV models on show, including BYD, SAIC, Geely, Li Auto, Nio, Xpeng and other brands (品牌).
China’s EV industry is now facing both challenges and chances. It’s reported that 71% of EV brands cut prices in 2023. EV makers without the ability of innovation (创新) will face growing risks.

At the same time, the government is adding even more charging points (充电站). On the other hand, more Chinese people are aware of the environmental problems. It is encouraging more buyers to choose EVs.
EVs are the way of the future. In an ideal world everyone benefits from innovation and green transport. Some might get there sooner than others, and will gain greater rewards. It is very likely that China will hold the lead.

It is well known that crayons are a useful tool for children to learn painting. The invention of crayons inspired (激发) children’s imagination and creativity and made their childhood colorful.
In 1885, Mr. Edwin Binney and Mr. C. Harold Smith set up Binney & Smith company in New York. The company’s early products were mainly red paint and black powder (粉末) for making tires. In 1900, at the new factory in Easton, the company made the first pencil for the school. In 1902, under the demand (需求) of school teachers, the company began to produce dust-free chalk, and achieved a great success, and won the gold medal at the St. Louis World’s Fair.
Alice Binney, Mr. Edwin Binney’s wife, who was a teacher, found that children liked to use a kind of thick black pencils to draw on paper. This was just the early crayon with only black color. So she suggested that the company should produce crayons in many colors. In 1903, they experimented with a series of colors and invented the world’s first box of modern crayons with black, brown, blue, red, green, orange, yellow and purple.
Then Alice Binney proposed to create the “Crayola” brand. She combined (结合) “craie” in French with “oily” in English to create the new word—“crayola”. Since then, crayola has become the synonym (同义词) of crayon. Crayola was founded in 2007. Until now, Crayola has been one of the most popular brands of children’s products in the world. With the development of science and technology, today’s crayons have reached 152 colors.
27. When was the modern crayon invented?
A. As soon as the company was founded. B. Before the company was founded.
C. Eighteen years after the company was founded. D. Before the dust-free chalk was produced.
28. What does the underlined word “Crayola” refer to?
A. A company. B. A product. C. A brand. D. A word.
29. We can learn ________ from this passage.
A. children liked to learn painting with chalk B. the first modern crayons had seven colors
C. the word “crayola” came from French and English D. the paint won the gold medal.
30. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The Use of Crayons B. The Invention of Modern Crayons
C. The Creation of the Brand Crayola D. The development of the Brand Crayola

China has become the world’s largest producer and market of EVs (电车). According to a report, 9.58 million Chinese-made EVs were produced and 9.49 million were sold in 2023. Among the total sales, 1.2 million EVs were exported (出口).
The Chinese government has been encouraging EVs as part of its effort for green, high-quality development. As a result, China’s EV industry develops very quickly. At Auto (汽车) China 2004, BYD was the only company showing EVs there. At Auto China 2024, there were 278 different EV models on show, including BYD, SAIC, Geely, Li Auto, Nio, Xpeng and other brands (品牌).
China’s EV industry is now facing both challenges and chances. It’s reported that 71% of EV brands cut prices in 2023. EV makers without the ability of innovation (创新) will face growing risks. In order to be both green and smart, Chinese EV makers are trying hard to improve technologies like battery qualities and AI support. At the same time, the government is adding even more charging points (充电站). On the other hand, more Chinese people are aware of the environmental problems. It is encouraging more buyers to choose EVs.
EVs are the way of the future. In an ideal world, everyone benefits from innovation and green transport. Some might get there sooner than others, and will gain greater rewards. It is very likely that China will hold the lead.

It is well known that crayons are a useful tool for children to learn painting. The invention of crayons inspired (激发) children’s imagination and creativity and made their childhood colorful.
In 1885, Mr. Edwin Binney and Mr. C. Harold Smith set up Binney & Smith company in New York. The company’s early products were mainly red paint and black powder (粉末) for making tires. In 1900, at the new factory in Easton, the company made the first pencil for the school. In 1902, under the demand (需求) of school teachers, the company began to produce dust-free chalk, and achieved a great success, and won the gold medal at the St. Louis World’s Fair.
Alice Binney, Mr. Edwin Binney’s wife, who was a teacher, found that children liked to use a kind of thick black pencils to draw on paper. This was just the early crayon with only black color. So she suggested that the company should produce crayons in many colors. In 1903, they experimented with a series of colors and invented the world’s first box of modern crayons with black, brown, blue, red, green, orange, yellow and purple.
Then Alice Binney proposed to create the “Crayola” brand. She combined (结合) “craie” in French with “oily” in English to create the new word—“crayola”. Since then, crayola has become the synonym (同义词) of crayon. Crayola was founded in 2007. Until now, Crayola has been one of the most popular brands of children’s products in the world. With the development of science and technology, today’s crayons have reached 152 colors.
27. When was the modern crayon invented?
A As soon as the company was founded. B. Before the company was founded.
C. Eighteen years after the company was founded. D. Before the dust-free chalk was produced.
28. What does the underlined word “Crayola” refer to?
A. A company. B. A product. C. A brand. D. A word.
29. We can learn ________ from this passage.
A. children liked to learn painting with chalk B. the first modern crayons had seven colors
C. the word “crayola” came from French and English D. the paint won the gold medal.
30. What’s the best title for the passage?
