Question

China has become Volvo's third largest market, with more of its car models to go on sale in the world's largest auto（汽車） market this year, Chief Executive Office (CEO) of Volvo Cars China said in Tianjin.

Alexander Klose, CEO of Volvo Cars China, told Xinhua at the Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show, being held from Friday to Wednesday.

Klose said Volvo Cars had entered a new time of fast development, adding that its sales volume in China roared in 2010.

Up to the end of September, Volvo's global sales volume was up 12.5 percent year on year（同年比）, compared with 52 percent year-on-year rise in China, he said.

Two new Volvo sales centers opened in Beijing within merely one week in early October, about two months after east China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co acquired（購得）the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for $1.5 billion in early August.

Klose said he was confident of seeing tremendous(巨大的) growth in China's auto market in the next five years. "As the Chinese government has increased the tax rate for large displacement （排量）cars already, we now have a lot of cars below three liters（升）, and I think we'll stick to that strategy, as you can see now the XC60 which was introduced today is just two liters," he said.

"As the technology advances, we'll probably even see 1.6 liter engines or 1.5 liter engines in the future," he added.

Volvo Cars is not the only automaker hoping to take advantage of China's rapidly growing auto market.

Bentley, the famous British luxury（豪華） carmaker, will open a new sales center in China at Tianjin Thursday, which is the 11th one in China, according to a press release（新聞發(fā)布） by Shanghai-based Zenith Integrated Communications Corp (Zenith) Saturday at the auto show.

Zenth is the public relations agent of Bentley in China. The automaker has sold 421 limousines（大型豪華轎車） to China in 2009, and the goal for 2010 is 777, the release said.

【解析】

試題分析：

【小題1】            猜測詞義題。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容是指沃爾沃在中國的銷售數(shù)據(jù)大量增加。故B正確。

【小題2】           推理題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知在中國沃爾沃的銷售中心的發(fā)展也非常迅速。故D正確。

 A項是文章中已經(jīng)給出的信息，所以不對；由第三段的Geely Holding Group Co acquired（購得）the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for $1.5 billion in early August.可知volvo是吉利控股集團從美國福特手中購得的瑞典的品牌，故B不對；沃爾沃不是唯一一家在中國銷售量第一的品牌，還有其他的品牌，比如賓利等，所以C不對。

【小題3】           主旨大意題。文章主要就是關(guān)于沃爾沃在中國的迅速發(fā)展，成為沃爾沃第三大市場。

【小題4】           細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段Bentley, the famous British luxury（豪華） carmaker, will open a new sales center in China at Tianjin Thursday可知賓利在中國也將有新的銷售中心，文章還提及了沃爾沃也有新的銷售中心，故B正確。

考點：本文是一篇新聞類的文章。

點評：文章是關(guān)于這個汽車市場的迅猛發(fā)展，讓很多世界汽車巨頭在中國大力開拓市場，比如沃爾沃，賓利等，并且在中國的銷售量也是非�？捎^的。主要介紹了沃爾沃在中國的發(fā)展以及它在中國的營銷措施和策略。可先瀏覽題干，帶著問題去通讀全文，尋找答案。
