The capital city of the Netherlands, Amsterdam is one of Europe's best cities for arts, culture, history, dining, and

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.
24. Why does Michail Michalakakos feel grateful to China Ocean Shipping Group?
A. Because it provides financial support for her daughter.
B. Because it gives her daughter boxing guidance.
C. Because it founds a special organization to raise money.
D. Because it shows her daughter how to be a world champion.
25. Which information about the Piraeus Port is correct?
A. It is located 12 km northwest of Athens.
B. It's only famous for its beautiful scenery.
C. This port faces no challenges of development.
D. This port benefits from the Belt and Road Initiative.
26. 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.
D. Their salaries could not make both ends meet properly.
27. What's the main idea of this article?
A. Cosco Shipping sent local young talents to China to improve their skills.
B. China Ocean Shipping Group signed an agreement with Greece in 2008.
C. The Chinese company helped a Greece employee's daughter be world champion.
D. Michalakakos's daughter won the world championship in women's boxing.
C
Norwegian playwright and author Jon Fosse has just been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature for his
innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.
The Swedish Academy credits Fosse as one of the most widely performed playwrights in the world, although
the 64-year-old originally made his name as a novelist, beginning with Red, Black in 1983. He has since written
many works of prose and poetry. His literary works, spanning a variety of genres（体裁）, comprises about 40 plays
and a wealth of novels, poetry collections, essays, children's books and translations, said Anders Olsson, chairman of
the Nobel Committee for Literature.
Jon Fosse draws inspiration from his rural living environment and personal struggles, which have deeply
influenced his distinctive writing style. Growing up in a small coastal village, Fosse was immersed in the beauty of
nature and the vastness of the sea, which filled him with a sense of solitude and introspection（内省）that is
reflected in his works. Fosse's writing discussed themes of loneliness, longing, and the search for meaning in life.
Additionally, his battles with depression have enabled him to explore the depths of human emotions and existential
despair.
He touches you so deeply when you read his works, said Anders Olsson. What is special about him is the
closeness in his writing. It touches your deepest feelings—anxieties, insecurities, questions of life and death—which
are things that every human being actually faces from the very beginning. In that sense I think he reaches very far and
there is a sort of a universal impact of everything that he writes—it has appeal to this basic humanity.”
Fosse is the first-ever laureate writing in Nynorsk, one of the two official languages of Norwegian, but only used
by just 10% of the population. As the Guardian writes, Many Nynorsk speakers see Fosse 'as a kind of national hero'
for his championing of the language. Fosse's recognition on a global stage promotes the visibility and importance of
Nynorsk as a written standard. It will attract more attention to Nynorsk literature, inspire and encourage Nynorsk
speakers to continue preserving and promoting their linguistic（语言的）heritage.
28. What do we learn about Jon Fosse from paragraph 2?
A. His most popular work is the play Red, Black.
B. He accomplished various genres of literature works.
C. Many famous plays are the inspiration for his writing.
D. His language skills earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature.
29. What does the underlined word solitude” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Loss. B. Fear. C. Loneliness. D. Sympathy.
30. What is special about Jon Fosse's works according to Anders Olsson?
A. They show the bond between humans and nature.
B. They guide readers to focus on personal feelings.
C. They explore the inner meaning of life.
D. They touch human's deepest emotions.
31. What is the contribution made by Jon Fosse?
A. Finding the importance of linguistic diversity.
B. Improving the international status of Norway.
C. Promoting the development and preservation of Nynorsk.
D. Shaping the basic writing standard of Norwegian literature.
D
Li Bai holds a wine cup in his hand, while Du Fu sits in front of a desk, writing poems on the paper in front of
him. It's not that we have travelled to the past. Modern technology has brought them back to life.
The two great poets, along with other humanoid robots, were presented at the World Robot Conference 2023 in
late August in Beijing. They looked similar to real human beings.
The skin is made of medical-grade bionic silicone（仿生硅胶）, which is why the skin looks soft and veins can
be seen through it, CGTN explained in a video about Liaoning-based producer EXROBOTS. Goosebumps（鸡皮疙
瘩）and palm lines can also be seen on the arms and hands.
Researchers are also trying hard to create other features of humans on robots. A US robotics startup Apptronik
brought out its humanoid robot called Apollo on Aug 23. Apollo has around 30 muscles.
However, humans have around 300 muscles in our bodies, Nick Paine, the co-founder of the company, told
CNN. For now, engineers can only simplify the muscles, allowing them to do basic movements like holding objects
and walking.
The robot also contains cameras and sensors in its head, helping it map out a 360-degree view of its environment.
They also help the robot keep balance when walking on uncertain surfaces.
Nowadays, bionic（仿生的）human-like robots mostly work with humans, as tour guides or by helping visitors
at front desks. There are also robots that share the work of nurses, such as handing out medicine. This could be
because people are comfortable living and working with machines that look or act like them. They can strike a chord
with people, a US robotics scientist Marc Raibert told New Yorker.
As more humanoid robots come out, safety will be the key, according to the Robot Report website. When a 70-
kilogram robot breaks down and falls, humans nearby may be hurt.
32. What do we know about the robots of Li Bai and Du Fu?
A. They can learn from each other. B. They look lifelike in every detail.
C. They can communicate with visitors. D. They manage to compose original poems.
33. According to the text, what is the limitation of the robot Apollo?
A. It can not perform complex movements. B. It can not keep balance on some surfaces.
C. It moves too slowly when holding objects. D. It lacks the ability to tell people directions.
34. Why are most bionic robots currently working with humans?
A. They are as intelligent as humans. B. People feel comfortable with them.
C. They understand human's needs well. D. People treat them as trustworthy friends.
35. What is a suitable title of the text?
A. Robots Play a Significant Role in Our Life
B. The World Robot Conference Is a Success
C. Two Great Poets Got Revived Thanks to Technology
D. New Technology Makes Humanoid Robots Possible

Promoting Body Positivity Movement
Don't judge a book by its cover, the popular saying goes. It reminds us that something's appearance shouldn't
be the most important thing when we are determining its value. 36 Its message is that we should value ourselves
for who we are warts and all. So what can we do to promote body positivity?
Not comparing your body to others, particularly celebrities, is a good first step. 37 Comparing only creates
a standard we think we need to reach and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren't up to scratch.
38 When someone says something nice, embrace it—don't push it away or play it down. And flatter others
too. If you think someone looks nice, or someone has a good idea, tell them, which can lift them up.
Appreciate your body for what it can do—walking, yoga, playing sports or otherwise. 39 You can be an
incredible man regardless of your shape or size.
And finally, don't forget that low self-esteem and body confidence issues affect everyone. There aren't a lot of
guys that are pushing the idea of body positivity. The only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you.
Becoming comfortable with yourself is unlikely to be accomplished overnight—but don't give up and just move.
Remember that everyone is insecure sometimes. 40 Love what you look like.
A. This is what the body positivity movement is all about.
B. Regular workout brings you a strong and capable body.
C. Stopping judging ourselves against our imperfections is important.
D. Be unapologetic about who you are and what you want as a person.
E. Learn to express your admiration, which promotes positive mental health.
F. Being insecure in your daily life is common and sometimes necessary.
G. We are surrounded by these idealized images of what it is to be beautiful.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Marco stared at the blank canvas（油画布）spreading out before him, its stark whiteness almost laughing at his
sudden lack of inspiration. He was in his final year of high school, and his art portfolio（画集）was fast approaching
its due date in a week. This canvas was meant to be his masterpiece, the crown jewel of his collection, but all his ideas
seemed to escape the moment he stood before it. What's wrong with me? What should I do? Marco murmured to
himself.
Having grown up in the bustling city of New York, Marco had always found beauty in the chaos. The harshness
of roaring cars, the colorful palette of street art, the symphony of diverse tongues and the odd behaviors of the
passengers-all served as inspirations for his art. Yet, now, when it mattered most, he found himself lost.
Upset and distressed, Macro walked out, longing to run across something unexpected. Unaware of the duration of
his wandering through the streets of the city, Marco chanced upon a small, hidden park he had never noticed before. It
was a pocket of quiet amid the urban uproar, which attracted Marco immediately. An old man sat on a bench, feeding
pigeons that flocked around him in a dance of fluttering wings.
The old man noticed Marco's thoughtful gaze and gestured him over. They struck up a conversation aimlessly as
if they had been old friends for a long time. In their talk, everything was full of interest from life to art. At last Marco
confided（倾诉）his artistic block to the old man. The old man listened intently before offering a piece of wisdom.
And then, the old man stood up slowly and patted Marco's shoulder softly. Sometimes, the best inspiration comes
from the places we least expect. Look beyond what you see. The gentleman said in all earnestness.
要求:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Marco returned to his canvas.
The time presenting his portfolio came soon.
