Market traders and street vendors(小贩）are making a comeback across China,and this time they find themselves equipped with a new set of digital skills essential to directing the vast consumer market.To make mom-and-pop retail stands active,the country's leading e-commerce platforms are lending a helping hand,offering a series of services from inventory support to accessible financing backed by technologies to finally promote domestic(国内的）spending and employment.

Domestic wholesale https://www.360docs.net/doc/5c12823536.html, is among the first group of tech players with such offerings.At the heart of the action plan is an effort to link street vendors directly with factories,effectively avoiding middlemen and saving time and costs."The large number of small-scale merchants on the site has managed to gain the upper hand in price negotiations,while manufacturers are more willing to mass-produce goods as the economy of scale serves to reduce costs,thus creating a win-win situation,"general manager Wang Hai said.On the financial front,1688's parent Alibaba Group is offering interest-free loans worth a total of70billion yuan ($9.8billion),with which qualified merchants can purchase goods in quantity.Risk assessment for each applicant is conducted by sister service Mybank.

Meanwhile,e-commerce giant https://www.360docs.net/doc/5c12823536.html, has promised to secure quality goods worth more than 50billion yuan and is offering each stall keeper up to100,000yuan worth of interest-free loans for the purpose of filling their inventory.To stabilize(稳定）employment,JD decided to add a number of job positions that either require flexible working hours,allow working from home or are designed to promote startup businesses.For posts related to logistics,delivery,warehouse management and packaging,people from poverty-stricken areas should be employed first.

＂The novel coronavirus outbreak will accelerate the digital transformation of the real economy,and individual traders and smaller stores are no exception,"said Xu Lei,CEO of JD's retail unit.＂We have the ability and,more important,the responsibility to inject vitality(活力）into these entities,thus contributing to the economic rebound and stabilizing employment."

Although we're surrounded by millions of them every day,most of us don't think about bricks too often.For thousands of years,the humble clay-fired brick hasn't changed.

They're made from natural materials,but there are problems with bricks at every step of their production.Bricks are made from clay--a type of soil found all over the world.Clay mining harms plant growth.In conventional brick production,the clay is shaped and baked in kilns(窑）heated by fossil fuels,which contributes to climate change.Once made,bricks must be transported to construction sites,generating more carbon emissions.With so many bricks produced globally,their impact adds up.

Gabriela Medero,a professor at Scotland's Heriot-Watt University,decided to find solutions to that.With her university's support,Medero set up Kenoteq in2009.The company's signature product is the K-Briq.Made from more than90%construction waste,Medero says the K-Briq-which does not need to be fired in a kiln-produces less than a tenth of the carbon emissions of conventional bricks.With the company testing new machinery to start manufacturing,Medero hopes her bricks will help to build a more sustainable world.

The K-Briq will be comparably priced to old bricks.Additionally,as a new product,the K-Briq has been subjected to strict assessment and authoritative certification.Reusing old bricks is an expensive process and there is no standardized way to check the strength,safety or durability(耐久性）of recycled bricks.Medero says that K-Briqs could solve both these problems.She claims that K-Briqs are stronger and more durable than fired clay bricks.

Over the next18months,Medero plans to get K-Briq machinery on-site at recycling plants.＂This will reduce transport-related emissions because trucks can collect K-Briqs when they drop off construction waste,"says Medero.

28.What inspired Medero to reinvent the conventional bricks?

A.The poor quality of the bricks.

B.The outdated style of the bricks.

C.The high cost of manufacturing bricks.

D.The problems with the brick production.

29.Why is the K-Briq production sustainable?

A.It won't produce extra waste.

B.It brings no pollution to the air.

C.The plants occupy much less land than before.

D.The products are mainly made from construction waste.

30.What is paragraph4mainly about?

A.The popularity of the K-Briqs.

B.The advantages of K-Briqs over traditional bricks.

C.The special materials used in K-Briqs.

D.The advanced technology used for K-Briqs.

31.Why does Medero decide to put K-Briq machines at recycling factories?

A.To ensure fewer emissions.

B.To speed up the production.

C.To lower the production cost.

D.To collect more construction waste.

D

Margaret Mead,the most famous anthropologist(人类学家）in the world,was born in the USA in1901,the oldest of five children.Her father was a professor of finance and her mother was a sociologist.After studying psychology as an undergraduate,Mead began a PhD in the relatively new field of anthropology.Mead was particularly interested in primitive communities because she believed that such isolated cultures could serve as"laboratories"that would reveal ways of living that the modern world had forgotten about but needed to remember.

Having travelled to Samon,a few tiny volcanic,tropical islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean,Mead gradually got interested in gender roles and discovered that modern societies are far more strict in this area than primitive ones.For example,Americans tend to think of men as productive,sensible,and aggressive,while women are often told they're more light-hearted, peaceful,and nurturing.But in her1935book,Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies,

Mead studied tribes in Papua New Guinea and recorded that in the Arapesh tribe,both men and women were peaceful and nurturing,while among the Mundugurnor tribe,men and women were both ruthless and aggressive.

Mead's striking conclusion is that it isn't gender that makes women curl their hair or listen to people's feelings,or race that makes some nations regularly attack their neighbors.Rather,it's the social expectations and norms that have laid the groundwork for each individual's psychological makeup."We must recognize,"she reminded her readers,"that beneath the superficial(表面上的）classifications of sex and race,the same potentialities always exist,occurring again generation after generation,only to perish because society has no place for them."

She is regarded as one of the most influential social scientists of the last century.People around the world mourned the death of Margaret Mead in1978.A year later,the president of the United States,Jimmy Carter,honored the social scientist with America's highest award for civilians.

32.What can we learn about Mead from the text?

A.She was influenced by her mother to be an anthropologist.

B.She majored in psychology and anthropology as an undergraduate.

C.She believed isolated cultures could expose forgotten ways of living to the modern world.

D.She discovered modern societies are less strict in gender roles than primitive ones.

33.It can be inferred from Mead's study in tribes that_________.

A.the world is filled with separate cultures.

B.no gender characteristics are ever simply"human nature".

C.knowing another culture will help us reflect on our own.

D.social standards are responsible for individual's development.

34.What does the underlined word"them"in the third paragraph refer to?

A.Shared potential among humans.

B.Classifications of gender and race.

C.Social expectations and norms.

D.Individual's psychological makeups.

35.What's the passage mainly about?

A.The difference between men and women.

B.The recommendation of Mead's book.

C.The introduction about a great anthropologist.

D.The groundwork for each individual's makeup.

Apps such as WeChat and TikTok have gained popularity in recent years.36Also TikTok is already a household name globally,maybe one of the Chinese brands to truly be recognized

universally.

WeChat is particularly relied upon as a secure part of the structure of our technologically advancing societies.37Moreover,a court in Haidian allows litigants(诉讼当事人）to communicate with their lawyers through WeChat video connections.

Many features of WeChat alongside its well-thought-out design has meant that the app has dominated its competitors domestically,especially during the disorderly origin years of2012-13,when it was gaining traction.

The ability to move through web pages without tags and save articles alongside other offline content within the app simplified the online experience.38This is a fantastic application designed to combine the comprehensive nature of the web experience with the simplistic convenience of mobile apps.

39An example is that,instead of a loading white screen,users,when opening a PWA app such as WeChat,will simply at first see the content that had been previously browsing,allowing them to pick up where they left off,much like reading a book.

The intuitive(直观的）design is what makes WeChat not just an app in communicating with friends and family.40You can also order a taxi through it.All of these extra features boil down to the one single universal strength of detail in design and multiple app service integration.

A.Residents in Guangzhou can use the app to store their ID cards.

B.Many may bring up the fact that you can pay for goods and services.

C.WeChat alone,as of2020,boasts more than1billion users worldwide.

D.The app itself has no doubt also been an influence on many Western apps.

E.In a web browser,a list of favourite sites saves for future use while browsing.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/5c12823536.html,ers didn't have to switch constantly from app to app depending on the type of multimedia they consumed.

G.The continuity(连续性）in the online and offline browsing experience makes WeChat successful in keeping our attention on the display of our phones.

Honesty is a vital quality of human behavior and always regarded as a virtue.Every time people refer to the topic,I would recall an unforgettable experience which had a deep impact on my growth.

I was16when one morning,Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas,a town18miles away and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced.At that time,I had just passed the driving test,and I hardly had a chance to use the car,so I said yes without hesitation.

I drove my father to Mijas,promising to pick him up again at4pm,then I went to a nearby garage,and put the car in there.Since I had several hours to spare,I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see a movie.However,I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that l forgot the time.When the last movie finished,I looked at my watch:6pm.I was two hours late!

I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing.And he would never let me drive again.So I decided to make up an excuse.Then,I drove to the appointed place,my father was sitting in a corner,waiting patiently.I first apologized for being late,then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible,but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.

I would never forget the way he looked at me."I'm very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me,Jason."My father looked at me again and said,"When you didn’t show up on time,I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong.They told me you never picked up the car.So,you see,I know there's nothing wrong with the car at all."

Paragraph1

A wave of guilt swept over me.____________________________________________________ Paragraph2

1.One possible version:

Dear Jack,

Knowing t hat you are eager to know“the meeting commending role models in the

country's fight against the COVID-19epidemic”,I’m more than honored to introduce you more about it.

aimed to to commend role models in the country's fight against the COVID-19epidemic.

During the meeting,Xi presented the Medal of the Republic to Zhong Nanshan,and the

national honorary title"People's Hero"to Zhang Boli,Zhang Dingyu,Chen Wei for their outstanding contributions to the country's fight against COVID-19.It’s the role models and their spirits of“putting people’s lives first”that protected us from the horrible virus and saved millions of lives.All Chinese show respect and worship to them and decide to learn from them to unite together to build better communities.

Pray the crisis will end as soon as possible.Best wishes!

Li Hua

2.One possible version:

Paragraph1:

A wave of guilt swept over me.I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late.Dad listened carefully as a sadness passed through him，“I'm angry,not with you but with myself.You see.I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me.I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father.

Paragraph2:

“I’m going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years”,father said to me.“But father,it's exactly eighteen miles home from here,and it's dark.You can't walk back.”I begged.My protests,my apologies and the rest of my words were useless.I had let my

father down and I was about to learn one of the most painful lessons of my life.Dad began walking along the dusty roads.I quickly jumped in the car and followed behind.I apologized all the way,telling him how sorry I was,but he simply ignored me.For18miles he kept walking. Seeing my father in so much pain was the most awful experience that I have ever faced.However it was also the most successful lesson.
