Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题,每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2025·重庆质检)
“I am very grateful to China COSCO SHIPPING Corporation Limited (COSCO SHIPPING) for not only offering me a job but also sponsoring my daughter to become a world champion in boxing,” Michail Michalakakos, a dockworker at the Piraeus Port operated by COSCO SHIPPING, said in a special program produced by China News Service.
The Piraeus Port, located 12 km southwest of Athens, is a flagship project in the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI) cooperation between China and Greece.Praised as the “Pearl of the Aegean Sea” with its breathtaking scenery and thousandyear history, the port, Greece's largest, once faced development challenges at the beginning of the new century.COSCO SHIPPING signed a 35year agreement with Greece in 2008 and invested in its container terminals No.2 and No.3 in 2009.
Before COSCO SHIPPING took over the operations, some Greek employees had doubts about the 26 compatibility(相容性) of the business model of Chinese companies at European ports and whether local workers might face unemployment under Chinese management.However, these concerns naturally disappeared.Michalakakos noted that instead of laying off workers,COSCO SHIPPING continued to support the port's growth and even sent local young talents to China to learn about port management and improve their skills.Working at COSCO SHIPPING Piraeus Port fills Michalakakos with pride, as the company not only values its employees but also supports their families.
His daughter has a passion for boxing, but their family faced financial difficulties, making it impossible for her to participate in international competitions.Upon learning of their situation, COSCO SHIPPING decided to sponsor his daughter's participation in these competitions, ultimately enabling her to fulfill her boxing dreams.A year ago, Michalakakos's daughter won the NG world championship in women's boxing (youth category) while representing Greece in Venice, Italy.She will prepare for Greek league competitions.

3.What worried some Greek employees most before?
A.They might lose their jobs under Chinese management.
B.Chinese companies would take over all the European ports.
C.Their abilities of port management were not good enough.

B
(2025·石家庄质检)
The young attendant probably said something like, Excusezmoi? Or Pardon? But I could not even register that he was speaking to me.I, in Paris for the very first time, was apparently deaf to even the cues of vocal tone and facial expression.Though I knew that my French was not good, it was then that I realized just being able to count to 15 and say “Je m' appelle Kyla” was not going to work.
I had tried very hard to learn some French before I went on my long weekend.Despite all the available resources, I'd really had no intention of studying French in a meaningful way until I was in Paris.But as soon as I'd made up my mind, I ran into a roadblock.As a teenager, I'd learned Spanish almost passively, never receiving less than an A.Meanwhile, I'd taken Russian for a year, and learning a new alphabet and its grammar had given me an almost unshakable sense of confidence.So why, when trying to take up French, a language closest to English, could I not even remember how to use the most ordinary verb, être?
When, months after my trip, I still hadn't gotten much further, I started to wonder...am I bad at this? And though I was only in my 30s, was my lack of facility a result of aging?
Yet alongside my frustration, a surprising feeling emerged.Not discouragement — but delight in my failure.At 32, having lived in the same city for over ten years, having finished school and started a career, having achieved many of the milestones of young adulthood, it had been so long since I'd been an absolute beginner that being bad at something actually felt refreshing.
What so many people experience when they travel is the realization of how big the world is and how much more of it there is than they could have imagined.That's what I gained — an expanded sense of belief, not limited by what I had already seen; a humble belief in the power of what I didn't yet know.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要分享了作者在巴黎旅行期间的感悟:在法语上进展缓慢意味着还有未知的领域,因此,我们应该突破自己的局限,勇于探索未知。
5.What prevented the author understanding the attendant?
A.The author's disability.
B.The author's poor French.
C.The attendant's accent.
D.The attendant's low tone.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “Though I knew that my French was not good...say‘Je m' appelle Kyla’ was not going to work.” 可知,作者的法语很差,因此作者没能理解服务员的意思,故选B。
6.How did the author feel about the lack of progress in learning French?
A.Disappointed and embarrassed.
B.Delighted and refreshed.
C.Indifferent and unconcerned.
D.Confident and motivated.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的 “a surprising feeling emerged.Not discouragement — but delight in my failure” 和 “being bad at something actually felt refreshing” 可推知,作者发现自己在学习法语上进展缓慢时,居然感到开心,精神还为之一振,故选B。
7.What did the author gain from the travel experience in Paris?
A.An increased ability to speak French.
B.A desire to go abroad for further study.
C.A feeling of accomplishment in the career.
D.A sense of openness to the unknown world.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的 “That's what I gained — an expanded sense of belief, not limited by what I had already seen; a humble belief in the power of what I didn't yet know.” 可知,作者这次巴黎之行的收获是不要受制于自己已经看到的世界,以及对未知力量的谦卑的信念,故选D。
8.What's the author's purpose of writing this passage?
A.To share an unexpected blessing.
B.To tell about an unpleasant trip in Paris.
C.To offer advice on traveling abroad.
D.To recommend ways to learn a language.
答案:A
解析:写作目的题。本文讲述作者在巴黎旅游期间,听不懂服务员讲法语,以及自己在学习法语上进展缓慢的经历和作者从这样的经历中得到的感悟:对于未知的世界,我们要保持开放的心态,勇敢地去探索未知。作者从学不好法语这件貌似是打击的事情中得到了意想不到的收获,由此可知,作者写这篇文章是为了分享一件意外的幸事,故选A。
