【题目】 Apps from Chinese developers have been gaining popularity on Indian app stores for some time. In 2018, as many as 44 of the top 100 Android apps in India were developed by Chinese firms.
But things changed last year as local developers put on a fight. According to app analytics and marketing firm AppsFlyer, Indian apps as a whole have recaptured their original standing.
Indeed, 41% of the top 200 apps in Indian editions of Googl's Play Store and Apple's App Store in the second and third quarters of last year were developed by Indian developers and local firms, up from 38% in 2018, the report said. Data from App Annie, another research firm, corroborates (证实) the claim.
"This uptick happened mainly at the expense of Chinese apps, which fell from their lead position to 38% from 43% in 2018. Altogether, Chinese and Indian apps make up almost four-fifths (79%) of the list," the report said.
The change comes as scores of Indian firms have launched payments, gaming, news and entertainment apps in the last year and a half, said AppsFlyer, which analyzed 6.5 billion installs (安装)in the second and third quarters of last year.
But Chinese developers are not giving up, and continue to keep an "impressive" fight in each category, the report said.
India, which is home to more than 450 million smartphone users and keep relatively loose laws to support an open market, has naturally appeared as an attractive battleground for developers worldwide.
Many Chinese firms, including Xiaomi and ByteDance, regard India as one of their largest markets. Tik Tokapp has amassed(积累) more than 200 million users in India, for instance. Xiaoni, which leads the Indian smartphone market, is quickly building a series of services for users in India.
It launched a lending app the in country earlier in November 2018.

【1】
细节理解题。第二段中提到“Indian apps as a whole have recaptured their original standing.( 印度的应用已经重新夺回了最初的地位。)”;根据第四段中“…Chinese apps, which fell from their lead position to 38% from 43% in 2018.(中国App在2018年的市场占有率从43%下滑到38%。)”,因为2019年印度公司开发了各种应用,导致中国应用失去了以前的领头地位。故选A项。
【2】
词义猜测题。第四段中划线词“"This uptick”指代第三段中“41% of the top 200 apps…were developed by Indian developers and local firms, up from 38% in 2018”。印度的前200个应用程序中, 由印度开发的应用程序从2018年的38% 上升到41%。因此可以推测“uptrick”意思为“小幅增加”。故选B项。
【3】
细节理解题。根据第七段中“India, which is home to more than 450 million smartphone users and keep relatively loose laws to support an open market, has naturally appeared as an attractive battleground for developers worldwide.(印度拥有超过4.5亿智能手机用户,为了支持一个开放的市场,保持相对宽松的法律制度,自然成为了吸引全球开发者的战场。)”可知故,中国的app开发者竞争印度市场因为庞大的市场需求、对外国公司宽松的法律制度、以及对外开放的市场体系。文章没有提到是因为激烈的市场竞争。 故选D项。
【4】
推理判断题。通读全文可以看出,文章列举了大量的真实可信的数据,说明中国app在印度市场占有率下滑,并且客观地说明印度市场值得开发的原因。因此作者分析印度市场情况时是持客观的态度。故选D项。
