请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In March, many people in cities like Beijing and Shanghai received this kind of cellphone message: Come and ride our bike for free! These messages are part of the battle between bike-sharing companies Ofo and Mobike. Both of the companies are trying to attract more users and the competition is still going on.
Since the introduction of Mobike in Shanghai last April, China has seen a trend (潮流) of riding shared bikes to schools, workplaces or to go sightseeing. However, this boom across the country also caused many problems such as illegal (违规) parking, vandalism (故意破坏) and stealing.
For example, in the East Lake scenic area of Wuhan last month, many shared bikes were thrown into a ditch (沟) full of rubbish. Most of the bikes were damaged. 26. Where can you possibly find this passage? A. In a story book. C. In a newspaper.
B. In an instruction book. D. In an advertisement.
27. What's the main idea of the book?
A. There are two bike-sharing companies fighting each other. B. More and more people like to go out by sharing-bike. C. The sharing-bike market has many problems.
D. It's impossible for people to take care of sharing-bikes as their own ones. B
Airbnb, the American apartment rental (租赁) company, released its Chinese name last month. It is “Aibiying (爱彼迎)”, meaning “to welcome each other with love”. The name has been met with laughter in China, although it means something good. The Chinese name

is just hard to pronounce and sounds strange!
It's not easy for companies to come up with a good brand (品牌) name. But it's even more difficult to translate it into Chinese. “Foreign companies have to understand there is meaning in Chinese characters. It's not like English where you can take letters and mix them together to make different sounds,” Tait Lawton from Nanjing Marketing Group told CNN. “The wrong name will just give the wrong impression.”
But some brands have done great jobs. Coca-Cola is a good example. Its Chinese name “kekou kele (可口可乐) ” means “delicious fun” and stays true to the original English. On top of that, part of the name sounds like the Chinese word for “thirsty”.
British bank HSBC also came up with a clever one, “hui feng (汇丰)”, which suggests (暗示) “profitable (利益丰厚的) business exchanges”. A direct translation for HSBC, Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, wouldn't have worked in China. It sounds like every other local bank, instead of a global big company, according to Vladimir Djurovic from Labbrand, a company that helps brand foreign companies in China. “There is no absolute (绝对的) rule (when choosing a good Chinese name). The right name will always depend on a couple of things,” he said.
28. People don't like the Chinese name of Aibiying because _____.
a. it doesn't have a good meaning b. it's difficult to pronounce c. it sounds strange
d. it doesn't follow translation rules A. ab
B. bc
C. cd
D. ad
29. What does Tait Lawton tell us?
A. Chinese is the most difficult language to learn. B. Foreign companies know little about Chinese characters. C. The wrong name will bring bad luck to the company. D. Differences between languages make the translation hard.
30. Why does the writer think HSBC's Chinese name “hui feng” is a good one?
A. Because it expresses the meaning of the original English. B. Because it sounds like its English pronunciation.
