21、“I am very grateful to China Ocean Shipping Group (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 thousand-year history, the port, Greece’s largest, once faced development challenges in the beginning of the new century. Cosco Shipping signed a 35-year 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 harmony 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 talent 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 world championship in women’s boxing(youth category)while representing Greece in Venice, Italy. She will prepare for Greek league competitions.

D．Michalakakos’s daughter won the world championship in women’s boxing.
22、Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.
Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn’t a strong suit for Andy’s parents, and that’s where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his introduction to the world of online business.
Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade. When he learned about Amazon Dropshipping (代发货模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth. Instead of considering it a failure, he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on school and their retail business.
“The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you,” Andy says. He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it.
In 2019, Andy met his now business partners, and together, they created an Amazon management company called Project WiFi. This Project has proven to be extremely successful. They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses, and plan to help many more in the future.
When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, “Learning to sacrifice whether that’s family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it’s worth doing then it’s worth doing well with no shortcuts.”
【1】Why did Andy work in his parents’ shops at a young age?
A．Because he could earn some pocket money.
B．Because his parents weren’t fluent in English.
C．Because his parents could help with his study.
D．Because he could get access to the Internet.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．A new online business model.
B．Results of working impatiently.
C．Difficulties in Andy’s career.
D．Andy’s tense family relationship.
【3】What does Andy think contributes to his success?
A．His early working experiences.
B．Lessons learned from his failures.
C．Gaining other people’s trust.
D．Focusing on the thing you choose.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Andy Kong’s personality?
A．Committed and generous.
B．Motivated and persistent.
C．Creative and faithful.
D．Hard-working and sociable.
23、In any survey of self-made millionaires, you’re likely to notice the key to their success is that they never stop learning. So how does one build a lifelong learning mindset?
【1】 Seek out information that may be contrary to what you believe. Expand your horizons. Challenge yourself to find a better way. You will find a way around barriers!
Turn mistakes into opportunities. The practice of learning from mistakes is one of the best lifelong learning skills anyone can master. 【2】 They show us better way to think and work. They also provide insights into hidden knowledge and awareness.
Adopt a growth mindset. A mindset that is in line with how our brains really works really helps. Individuals with a fixed mindset believe their intelligence and talents are fixed. 【3】 People with a growth mindset believe they can improve themselves through practice.
Establish goals. What do you want to learn? When do you want to learn it? Every year set goals for yourself on skills and knowledge you want to acquire. 【4】 Besides, I always have the daily goal of learning something new whether through reading or by talking to other people.
Avoid stress. As stress increases, the body releases chemicals to cause a fear response. This creates an environment in which a person simply can’t focus or work, let alone learn. Keep life relaxed and learning will follow. 【5】
There are many other tips for successfully creating a learning plan, but those don’t have a fighting chance if your mindset is passive.
A．Try new things.
B．Challenge conventional thinking.
C．This means having the end clearly in mind.
D．There is much to learn from making mistakes.
E．I usually set three big learning goals each year.
F．They don’t think they can improve with efforts.
G．This way, success will happen much more naturally.
24、Every year migratory(迁徙的) bats travel from Mexico to Bracken Cave, where they spend the summer consuming insects that would otherwise hungrily eat common food crops. But the bats have been showing up far earlier than they did two decades ago.
In a study, scientists at Rothamsted Research, an agricultural laboratory in England, used radar data from 160 U.S. weather stations to analyze activity in the Texas bat colony from 1995 through 2017. They discovered the creatures were leaving their winter quarters in Mexico earlier and reproducing sooner. They were also astonished to find increasing numbers of bats overwintering(过冬) at Bracken Cave instead of heading back to their cold weather quarters in Mexico. Overwintering is a sign that warmer temperatures change the bats’ annual rhythms, Rothamsted biologist Phillip Stepanian says.
A separate study of migratory bats in Indiana, published last year, found that temperature variations affected arrival and departure times—likewise hinting at the potential influence of climate change. Joy O’Keefe, a biology professor at Indiana State University and co-author of that study, says early arrival at their summer habitats(栖息地) could expose these bats to cold snaps(寒流), and they could freeze to death.
Joy O’Keefe and her colleagues also found that changing bat migration times can also clash with rainfall patterns. Many insects that bats eat breed in seasonal lakes and puddles. If the bats arrive too early to benefit from summer rainfall and the resulting abundance of insects, they may struggle to feed their pups(幼崽) or skip reproduction altogether, O’Keefe says. She fears this shift could cause Midwestern bats to decrease toward extinction, which would be bad news for humans. “Declines in bat populations could have severe effects for crop success,” she says, adding that bats also “control significant disease vectors, such as mosquitoes.”
However, scientists are not certain that climate change alone is causing the Bracken Cave bat colony to migrate earlier. They have found a direct link between seasonal temperatures and bird migration, but bats are also influenced by factors such as changes in wind speed and direction. And there are other complications. “Bats are mysterious little animals that move mostly at night and are difficult to observe and track,” Stepanian says. “We have this conceptual picture of what might be happening, but really tying it to the cause is the next step.”
【1】Scientists at Rothamsted Research found that _________.
A．bats prefer colder weather
B．bats delay their reproduction
C．warming affects bat migration
D．radar can be used to observe bats
【2】Joy O’Keefe discovered that _________.
A．bats are used to living in rainfall seasons
B．bats’ earlier migration might harm farming
C．insects’ reproduction helps to spread disease
D．insects shortage makes bats reproduce earlier
【3】What does the last paragraph want to tell us?
A．Wind speed and direction affect bats.
B．It is difficult to observe and track bats.
C．Climate change makes bats migrate earlier.
D．Further research on the cause is necessary.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A．Bats’ habitats

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
Tyler, my son, has a passion for playing basketball. He always asks me to take him to the gym an hour before practice begins. I often have to convince him to leave the gym after practice is over. Despite not being the most talented player, he still won two trophies (奖杯), one for his team, second place and the other for himself, a special award.
The story of winning the two trophies began when he was ten years old. The first game of the season arrived. The gym was surprisingly crowded. I saw the happy look in my son’s eyes when he saw me sitting in the stands.
As I watched the other kids running up and down the court, I saw my son sitting on the bench. By the fourth quarter, Tyler hadn’t even touched the ball, and his team had won the game.
The games that followed were pretty much the same. The team kept winning, but Tyler barely touched the ball. He ran so hard when he was on the court, but when he got the ball, he would quickly throw it to a teammate. I would sit there with my heart pounding out of my chest.
On the way home from one of his games, I asked, “Tyler, do you still enjoy basketball?”
He replied, “I like basketball a lot. But I know that some of the kids play better than me, so when I get the ball, I just throw it to them. We are on the same team. It doesn’t matter who scores.”
Weeks of Tyler’s unending enthusiasm and devotion to basketball flew by. Never discouraged, he played hard and kept practicing. I watched him improve. He told me how proud he was to be on such a good team. They were undefeated until last Saturday.
It was the final, their toughest game yet. They played well but the other team were just too strong for them. The championship was slipping out of their reach. Tyler’s teammates started to lose heart.
注意：
1.续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
As for Tyler, it seemed that the intense situation didn’t affect his movement.
