Luo Dengping has become famous as the only woman in a group of “spider men”who climb cliffs of up to 100 meters high, without ropes or safety equipment of any kind, for the entertainment of tourists in China’s Guizhou Province.
Men of the Miao people, in Southwest China, have been free-climbing steep cliffs for centuries. They originally developed this skill as part of a custom, to lift coffins(棺材)of relatives up the cliffs and place them in small caves or just hang them on the cliffside, like the Tana Toraja tribe, in Indonesia. The Miao spider men continued climbing the vertical cliffs of Ziyun, in order to collect rare medicinal plants. Today, only a few members of the Miao people still practice this ancient tradition, and one of them is a woman.
Traditionally, only Miao men were considered brave and skilled enough to become spider men, but Luo Dengping had no choice but to break social norms and take up the practice. As the daughter of a skilled spider man, and with no brothers to carry on her family’s tradition, Luo began climbing the cliffs near the village when she was just 15 years old. In the beginning, she felt scared and could barely move on the precarious cliffside, but as time went by, she perfected her skills and, eventually, making her way up the giant rocks using nothing but her hands and feet became routine.
In her late teens, Luo Dengping left the village and became a migrant worker at a construction site in Guangzhou. She returned in 2000, married a villager and had two children. To support her husband, who drives freight trucks for a living, she occasionally climbed nearby cliffs in search of medicinal plants to sell. Then, in 2015, the local government decided to promote the karsts mountain as a tourist attraction, and started hiring spider men to practice their skills for entertainment purposes.
24. Why did Luo Dengping work as spider woman at first?
A. To make more money. B. To carry on her family’s tradition.
C. To support her husband. D. To collect medicinal plants.
25. What does the underlined word “precarious”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Famous. B. Wet. C. Dangerous. D. Unsteady.
26. What is Luo Dengping’s husband?
A. A migrant worker. B. A performer. C. A distributor. D. A driver.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. China’s Only “Spider Woman” B. The Promotion of Ancient Skills
C.A Hobby Makes “Spider Woman” D. Spider Men Becomes a Must-see

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 site 1688.com 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 of 70 billion yuan, with which qualified merchants can purchase goods in quantity. Risk assessment for each applicant is conducted by sister service My bank.
Meanwhile, e-commerce giant JD.com has promised to secure quality goods worth more than 50 billion yuan and is offering each stall keeper up to 100,000 yuan 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.”
28. How do e-commerce platforms help mom-and-pop retail stands?
A. By offering digital skills. B. By providing commercial services.
C. By expanding the consumer market. D. By only increasing employment opportunities.
29. According to Wang Hai,1688.com’s action plan may be an example of .
A. barking up the wrong tree B. putting the cart before the horse
C. robbing Peter to pay Paul D. killing two birds with one stone
30. What do we know about JD’ s plan to create more posts?
A. It offers more accessible job selections. B. It aims at expanding their business.
C. Employees will have to work regularly. D. Employees in poor areas will get funds.
31. What is Xu Lei’s attitude towards the development of economy?
A. Disappointed. B.Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
D
As anyone who freelances(做自由职业) knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.
Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or find a Hoffice near them.
On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.
This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the working day.”
So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; it’s also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.
32. Hoffice was started to ________.
A. change people’s attitude to work B. provide a co-working space for free
C. improve people’s working conditions D. encourage people to be more social
33. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. How people respond to Hoffice. B. What Hoffice means to people.
C. What people share at Hoffice. D. How a Hoffice day works.
34. Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they ________.
A. work longer than before B. can’t be separated from each other
C. benefit a lot from the working style D. expect more people to join them
35. What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?
A. It has been popular in many countries for many years.
B. It has created many new job opportunities.
C. It focus on not only environment but also human needs.
D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life.

Michelle was 5 years old when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother Jack, only an infant(婴儿). He was very sick and they were completely out of money. Only a very costly operation could save Jack, but there was no one to whom they could turn for the money needed. She heard her daddy say to her tearful mom, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Hearing the words, Michelle went to her bedroom and took all the coins from her little money box. After counting the coins three times, she slipped out of the room and made her way to the drug store 6 blocks away…
She waited for a long time before the pharmacist(药剂师)turned around and asked her, “What do you want？”
“Well, it’s about my brother, ”Michelle answered, “He’s really sick. And I want to buy a miracle.”
“I beg your pardon? ”said the pharmacist.
“His name is Jack. And he has something very bad growing inside his body. And my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost? ”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I am sorry, but I can’t help you. ” the pharmacist said.
“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. ” With these words, Michelle poured out all the coins from her pocket.
At this time, a well-dressed man behind Michelle stooped down stairs and asked the little girl, “I am selling the miracle you want. Tell me how much money you have.”
“One dollar and eleven cents,” Michelle answered in a low voice, “That’s all the money I have. But I can get some more if I need to.”
“Well,” smiled the man, “a dollar and eleven cents. The exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Show me the place where your brother lives.”

One possible version:
Dear Jack,
Knowing that you are eager to know “the meeting commending role models in the country's fight against the COVID-19 epidemic”, I’m more than honored to introduce you more about it.
Held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Sep 8, 2020, the meeting was aimed to to commend role models in the country's fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. 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 was 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 come to an end as soon as possible. Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Paragraph 1
Holding the man's hand firmly, Michelle took him home. The little girl walked in such a hurry that she even forgot to introduce herself to the man. Her parents were too surprised to believe their eyes. That well-dressed man turned out to be a surgeon, specializing in neural surgery. Later, the little brother was taken away. The operation was completed with payment of one dollar and eleven cents. And it wasn't long before Jack was home again and doing well! Michelle was more than happy. Now she knew the exact price of a miracle: one dollar and eleven cents, plus the faith of a little girl.
Paragraph 2
When asked why he chose to help the family, the man detailed. “When I was young myself, I was once in the same situation as the little baby. The little girl reminded me of my own sister. It was she who saved my life. Deeply impressed by her innocence, I was determined to help the family out of trouble. It doesn’t matter how much money she actually had with her. What matters is her faith, a faith in the existence of miracles.”

M: Alright. There are lots of other things on. For example, they’re showing an old black and white comedy. Do you like old silent films? W: To be honest, silent films don’t make me laugh.
M: Fine. Let’s forget that, then. How about a more modern film? W: Good idea.
M: Here’s one called Sweet Dating. It’s a romantic comedy.
W: (15) I’m tired of seeing romantic comedies, Sorry.
M: (16) Well, why don’t we just go to the comedy club in the town centre? They always have good comedians there.
W: (16) I’m not a big fan of comedy clubs. But I suppose I could give it a go... M: Great!

Luo Dengping has become famous as the only woman in a group of “spider men”who climb cliffs of up to 100 meters high, without ropes or safety equipment of any kind, for the entertainment of tourists in China’s Guizhou Province.
Men of the Miao people, in Southwest China, have been free-climbing steep cliffs for centuries. They originally developed this skill as part of a custom, to lift coffins(棺材)of relatives up the cliffs and place them in small caves or just hang them on the cliffside, like the Tana Toraja tribe, in Indonesia. The Miao spider men continued climbing the vertical cliffs of Ziyun, in order to collect rare medicinal plants. Today, only a few members of the Miao people still practice this ancient tradition, and one of them is a woman.
Traditionally, only Miao men were considered brave and skilled enough to become spider men, but Luo Dengping had no choice but to break social norms and take up the practice. As the daughter of a skilled spider man, and with no brothers to carry on her family’s tradition, Luo began climbing the cliffs near the village when she was just 15 years old. In the beginning, she felt scared and could barely move on the precarious cliffside, but as time went by, she perfected her skills and, eventually, making her way up the giant rocks using nothing but her hands and feet became routine.
In her late teens, Luo Dengping left the village and became a migrant worker at a construction site in Guangzhou. She returned in 2000, married a villager and had two children. To support her husband, who drives freight trucks for a living, she occasionally climbed nearby cliffs in search of medicinal plants to sell. Then, in 2015, the local government decided to promote the karsts mountain as a tourist attraction, and started hiring spider men to practice their skills for entertainment purposes.
24. Why did Luo Dengping work as spider woman at first?
A. To make more money. B. To carry on her family’s tradition.
C. To support her husband. D. To collect medicinal plants.
25. What does the underlined word “precarious”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Famous. B. Wet. C. Dangerous. D. Unsteady.
26. What is Luo Dengping’s husband?
A. A migrant worker. B. A performer. C. A distributor. D. A driver.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. China’s Only “Spider Woman” B. The Promotion of Ancient Skills
C.A Hobby Makes “Spider Woman” D. Spider Men Becomes a Must-see

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 site 1688.com 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 of 70 billion yuan, with which qualified merchants can purchase goods in quantity. Risk assessment for each applicant is conducted by sister service My bank.
Meanwhile, e-commerce giant JD.com has promised to secure quality goods worth more than 50 billion yuan and is offering each stall keeper up to 100,000 yuan 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.”
28. How do e-commerce platforms help mom-and-pop retail stands?
A. By offering digital skills. B. By providing commercial services.
C. By expanding the consumer market. D. By only increasing employment opportunities.
29. According to Wang Hai,1688.com’s action plan may be an example of .
A. barking up the wrong tree B. putting the cart before the horse
C. robbing Peter to pay Paul D. killing two birds with one stone
30. What do we know about JD’ s plan to create more posts?
A. It offers more accessible job selections. B. It aims at expanding their business.
C. Employees will have to work regularly. D. Employees in poor areas will get funds.
31. What is Xu Lei’s attitude towards the development of economy?
A. Disappointed. B.Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
D
As anyone who freelances(做自由职业) knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.
Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or find a Hoffice near them.
On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.
This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the working day.”
So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; it’s also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.
32. Hoffice was started to ________.
A. change people’s attitude to work B. provide a co-working space for free
C. improve people’s working conditions D. encourage people to be more social
33. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. How people respond to Hoffice. B. What Hoffice means to people.
C. What people share at Hoffice. D. How a Hoffice day works.
34. Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they ________.
A. work longer than before B. can’t be separated from each other
C. benefit a lot from the working style D. expect more people to join them
35. What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?
A. It has been popular in many countries for many years.
B. It has created many new job opportunities.
C. It focus on not only environment but also human needs.
D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life.

Michelle was 5 years old when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother Jack, only an infant(婴儿). He was very sick and they were completely out of money. Only a very costly operation could save Jack, but there was no one to whom they could turn for the money needed. She heard her daddy say to her tearful mom, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Hearing the words, Michelle went to her bedroom and took all the coins from her little money box. After counting the coins three times, she slipped out of the room and made her way to the drug store 6 blocks away…
She waited for a long time before the pharmacist(药剂师)turned around and asked her, “What do you want？”
“Well, it’s about my brother, ”Michelle answered, “He’s really sick. And I want to buy a miracle.”
“I beg your pardon? ”said the pharmacist.
“His name is Jack. And he has something very bad growing inside his body. And my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost? ”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I am sorry, but I can’t help you. ” the pharmacist said.
“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. ” With these words, Michelle poured out all the coins from her pocket.
At this time, a well-dressed man behind Michelle stooped down stairs and asked the little girl, “I am selling the miracle you want. Tell me how much money you have.”
“One dollar and eleven cents,” Michelle answered in a low voice, “That’s all the money I have. But I can get some more if I need to.”
“Well,” smiled the man, “a dollar and eleven cents. The exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Show me the place where your brother lives.”

One possible version:
Dear Jack,
Knowing that you are eager to know “the meeting commending role models in the country's fight against the COVID-19 epidemic”, I’m more than honored to introduce you more about it.
Held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Sep 8, 2020, the meeting was aimed to to commend role models in the country's fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. 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 was 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 come to an end as soon as possible. Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Paragraph 1
Holding the man's hand firmly, Michelle took him home. The little girl walked in such a hurry that she even forgot to introduce herself to the man. Her parents were too surprised to believe their eyes. That well-dressed man turned out to be a surgeon, specializing in neural surgery. Later, the little brother was taken away. The operation was completed with payment of one dollar and eleven cents. And it wasn't long before Jack was home again and doing well! Michelle was more than happy. Now she knew the exact price of a miracle: one dollar and eleven cents, plus the faith of a little girl.
Paragraph 2
When asked why he chose to help the family, the man detailed. “When I was young myself, I was once in the same situation as the little baby. The little girl reminded me of my own sister. It was she who saved my life. Deeply impressed by her innocence, I was determined to help the family out of trouble. It doesn’t matter how much money she actually had with her. What matters is her faith, a faith in the existence of miracles.”

W: That’s good. I’ve got a lot of clothes. Could I move the sofa closer to the window? I have a coffee table that would look great with it. M: Yes, you can make any changes you like, as long as you don’t damage anything. W: About cooking? Can I see the kitchen?
M: Yes, of course. It’s over there. You have a stove and refrigerator and a few dishes.
W: Fine. I really like the apartment. And the price in the ad is fine with me.
M: OK. I need one month’s deposit and two references. So, if everything is OK you can move in on. . . (12) today is Wednesday. How about next Monday? W: Perfect. See you then.

M: Oh, OK. Well, let’s forget the circus then. What about this-The Dancing Queen? It’s a musical-I read a review of it in a magazine. It’s supposed to be extremely funny! Shall we go and see that? W: I’m not really into musicals. Is there anything else on?
M: Sure. (14) There’ s Take It or Leave It. t came out last week.
W: What kind of play? M: It’ a comedy.
W: Oh, right. That isn’t my favorite kind of play. In fact, I really don’t like stage comedies at all.
M: Alright. There are lots of other things on. For example, they’re showing an old black and white comedy. Do you like old silent films? W: To be honest, silent films don’t make me laugh.
M: Fine. Let’s forget that, then. How about a more modern film? W: Good idea.
M: Here’s one called Sweet Dating. It’s a romantic comedy.
W: (15) I’m tired of seeing romantic comedies, Sorry.
M: (16) Well, why don’t we just go to the comedy club in the town centre? They always have good comedians there.
W: (16) I’m not a big fan of comedy clubs. But I suppose I could give it a go... M: Great!
