21、   In order to develop the pandemic-stricken economy, China recovered the street vendors （商贩）in a new nation-wide method known as “street stall economy', allowing residents to set up open-air shops on the sidewalks or other available public spaces.

Street vendors were once an important part of China's economy and urban landscape. However, since China's economy took off in the last decade, street vendors have gradually disappeared from the streets and many of them opened shops of their own.

Fast forward to today, street vendors have come into our sight again after cities such as Chengdu and Yantai succeeded in creating hundreds of thousands of jobs by giving street stalls permission to operate. China's tech industry was quick to jump on the street vendor trend, with tech giants including Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan and JD.com flocking to dish out cheap loans, offer support and payment solutions to millions of owners of newly established small businesses.

Ant Financial, Alibaba's fintech arm, promised its mobile wallet app Alipay will give interest-free loans to 30 million vendors, and 70 billion RMB of interest-free credit line to consumers to make purchases everywhere, including street vendors.

JD.com provided 50 billion RMB worth of quality goods for street vendors, and provided each one of them with a maximum 100,000 RMB interest-free loan to stock up.

Tencent's WeChat announced to offer payment solutions, marketing supports and even training for up to 50 million street vendors, with the end goal of digitally transforming them to increase their income.

Guangzhou city partnered with WeChat this month to hold a live streaming shopping festival to improve sales of local produce. In attempts to promote various live streaming platforms, many tech CEOs also made their own live streamed e-commerce debuts （首次亮相）selling goods coming from all over the country.

22、Personally, there is nothing I love more than asking “stupid” questions, especially the ones that have no right answers. I remember once asking some kids what time it was, at home, in Singapore, and finally on the Moon. After a long giggling silence, finally a shy girl ventured (试探地说) to say that it was “every time” followed by an energetic Einstein who shouted it was “no time”. Both kids shared that week’s Noble Prize, because no humans live in that distant world and time is a human construct.

As a matter of fact, we are all good at asking questions by nature, but sadly as we age, we get accustomed to the world around us and take things for granted. We became more results-oriented (注重结果的) and concentrate our efforts on success. If something is working, don’t fix it or worry about the cause; just relax and go with the flow. Conventional wisdom may work well, but that does not mean it is always right. Throughout history, it has been those who have questioned conventional wisdom and those who have challenged our common-sense notions of the world that have been the ones to have ushered in (开) the major advancements of human civilization.

In 500 BC, the ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round because sailors on the sea had noticed that the farther south they went, the more different stars they saw in the sky. Why was the sky changing? Nearly 2,000 years later, the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei became interested in this question and ended up demonstrating the “crazy” concept of heliocentrism (日心说), in which the Sun lies at the center of the universe while the Earth revolves (旋转) around it at 30 kilometers per second. But if the Earth is spinning around so quickly, why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet? The answer to this question would not end up being revealed to us for another century.

People like routine, but past performance is no guarantee of future results. While those who challenge conventional wisdom tend to be subjected to abuse, the progress of humankind would have otherwise been impossible without these persistent people and their “stupid”questions.

【1】What is the best title of this article?

A．Asking “stupid” questions.

B．Is conventional wisdom useless?

C．Some major advancements of human civilization

D．What caused them to ask conventional questions?

【2】What commonly happens to us when we grow older according to the author?

A．We lay too much emphasis on process.

B．We still refuse to relax and go with the flow.

C．We start to challenge common-sense notions of the world

D．We gradually lose the ability to question conventional wisdom.

【3】Who might have solved the question “why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet?”

A．An ancient Greek scientist living in 500 BC

B．Galileo Galilei living between 1564 and 1642.

C．Isaac Newton living between 1643 and 1727.

D．Albert Einstein living between 1879 and 1955.

【4】How does the author develop his writing on the whole?

A．By comparison and contrast.

B．By using supporting examples.

C．By using time and space order.

D．By generalization and definition

23、   Winona Ryder was once one of Hollywood’ s biggest stars. During the 1990s, she received critical praise and box office success. And in 2000, she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But then it went wrong. In December 2001, she was arrested for shoplifting. She was caught leaving a Beverly Hills department store carrying thousands of dollars worth of clothes. Her sentence? 480 hours of community service in hospital. Afterwards, Winona quit acting for a few years. And she moved from los Angeles to San Francisco to get out of the spotlight. But now she’s on a comeback. She recently appeared in the award-winning Black Swan.

Bill Gates doesn’t seem like a bad boy. But on 29th April 1975 (just two weeks after founding Microsoft) he was arrested in Albuquerque, New Mexico. What for? Speeding and driving without a driver’s license. But Bill’s rap sheet doesn’t end there. In 1977 he was arrested again, this time for speeding, driving his Porsche through a stop sign road and, once again, driving without a license.

Bill has never commented on his wild past. But a Microsoft spokesperson said, “It’s well known that when Bill was young, he didn’t have a very good driving record.”

Can someone with a criminal record become president of the Unite States? They certainly can. And George W. Bush did. In 1976, the 30-year old Bush was drinking in a bar near his parents’ house. A few hours later, he decided to drive home. But on the way, a police officer pulled him over. Bush had been driving suspiciously slowly. The future president was arrested for drunk driving. Bush kept his arrest secret for 24 years. But it leaked to the press just before the 2000 presidential election (which he won). He admitted it was true and said he had learned his lesson that night.
