Despite the complex and challenging global trade environment, Yiwu, a city in east China’s Zhejiang Province, has achieved impressive foreign trade growth in the first three quarters of 2025.

Known as “the world’s supermarket” for its small commodities, Yiwu’s total imports and exports hit a new record of 631.2 billion yuan. This is a 26.3 percent increase compared to the same period last year, according to Yiwu Customs. Specifically, exports rose by 25.7 percent year-on-year to nearly 554 billion yuan, and imports jumped by 31.3 percent to 77.2 billion yuan. Both of these figures have reached all-time highs.

One key reason for this strong growth is that Yiwu’s exporters are working hard to get more orders in emerging markets. In May, the city held an overseas exhibition in Jakarta, Indonesia. More than 110 Yiwu enterprises sent their executives to attend it. Huang Changchao, who owns a stationery business in Yiwu, said, “We are now actively expanding into the South American and Southeast Asian markets. Only by going abroad constantly can we open up new markets.”​

This focus on tapping emerging markets is closely linked to Yiwu’s broader trade diversification (多样化) strategy, which has further boosted its global business reach. Thanks to the trade diversification strategy, Yiwu now does business with 227 countries and regions. It has seen year-on-year trade growth with 181 of them. Local customs also noted that Yiwu’s trade with the Belt and Road partner countries increased by 28.9 percent year-on-year, making up 68 percent of its total trade volume during this period.

In addition, innovations in trade modes and continuous improvements to commercial infrastructure are also driving Yiwu’s trade growth. Earlier this month, Yiwu launched a global digital trade center, which is called the sixth-generation market. It has built a fully integrated digital trade ecosystem. Wang Nan, a local merchant, said, “Our export orders are already booked until next year. We will keep exploring market demand and adapting to market changes to achieve sales growth.”

1.1. The data in Paragraph 2 is primarily used to illustrate ________.

A the stability of Yiwu’s economy

B the historical background of Yiwu’s trade

C the remarkable performance of Yiwu’s trade

D the comparison between imports and exports

解析：选C。C推理判断题。第二段通过列举进出口总额创纪录、高增长率以及进出口额均达历史新高（all-time highs）等一系列具体数字，其核心目的在于用事实和数据来生动地说明义乌贸易“表现卓越、成绩斐然”，而不仅仅是进行简单的进出口对比（D）或说明其稳定性（A）。历史背景（B）则未在该段涉及。故选C。

2.2. Why did Yiwu hold an overseas exhibition in Jakarta?

A To attract more tourists.

B To get more orders.

C To sell local stationery.

D To learn digital skills.

解析：选B。B​推理判断题。第三段提到“One key reason for this strong growth is that Yiwu’s exporters are working hard to get more orders in emerging markets. In May, the city held an overseas exhibition in Jakarta, Indonesia”，由此可推断，义乌在雅加达举办海外展会的目的是帮助出口商在新兴市场获取更多订单。选项 A 在文中未提及 “吸引游客” 相关内容；选项 C 虽提到有文具商被引用，但展会并非专门为销售文具举办；选项 D 与后文的数字贸易中心相关，并非此次展会的目的。故选B。

3.3. What is a direct outcome of Yiwu’s trade diversification strategy?

A A wider global business coverage.

B The establishment of a digital trade center.

C A slowdown in traditional markets.

D A focus on luxury goods exports.

解析：选A。A 细节理解题。根据第四段首句 “...Yiwu’s broader trade diversification strategy, which has further boosted its global business reach.” 及后续提到的与227个国家和地区进行贸易可知，该战略带来的一个直接成果就是拥有了“更广泛的全球商业覆盖”。B选项的“建立数字贸易中心”是下一段提到的另一项举措；C选项“传统市场放缓”和D选项“聚焦奢侈品出口”在文中均未提及。故选A。

4.4. What can be inferred about Yiwu’s businesses from Wang Nan’s statement?

A They are facing a decline in orders.

B They are reducing their international focus.

C They are pessimistic about market changes.

D They are confident about the future.

解析：选D。D推理判断题。根据最后一段王楠的话，“Our export orders are already booked until next year. We will keep exploring market demand and adapting...” 可知，订单已经排到明年，并且他们打算继续探索和适应，这表明商家对未来的业务持“乐观且充满信心”的态度。A（订单减少）和C（对市场变化悲观）与原文意思相反；B（减少国际关注）与原文持续探索市场的意图相悖。故选D。
