Lndn has mre t explre beynd the British Museum! Nw, get stuck int sme small, specialized museums.
The Fan Museum
T be the mst fan-tastic f all Lndn museums, Greenwich’s Fan Museum has an bvius head start. The cllectin dates back t the tenth century and the displays change thrughut the year. Accrding t the Victrian “language f fans”, drawing a fan acrss the cheek means “I lve yu”. Practice it, because it’ll be yur preferred methd f cmmunicatin.

After spending mst f his life n cmmercial cruises (游船), Guillaume Picard is nw fighting t keep these vast ships ut f the French prt f Marseille. The frmer captain’s new crew is a grwing grup f activists called “Stp Crisières”, r Stp Cruises, the cre f whm nw numbers between 50 and 100, says Picard, including lawyers and eclgists. This nn-vilent rganizatin mainly educates the public thrugh leaflets and prevents the cruises thrugh banners (横幅).
Few peple knw the sea better than Guillaume Picard. He grew up n a bat in the prt f Hyères in suthern France, and spent 30 years as a cmmercial captain, ferrying turists and cntainers acrss the Mediterranean.
Nw aged 65, it is with n small nte f bitterness that he says, “When I g hiking, I find the muntains are an envirnment much better preserved.” Picard’s belved sea is being destryed, he believes, by cruises. Fifteen years ag, they were a rare sight in Marseille. Nw, France’s secnd city is ne f Eurpe’s busiest cruise prts. Last year, 2.5 millin passengers stpped ff, accrding t the prt authrity, a millin mre than the year befre. Faced with this new reality, Picard culdn’t wait t becme the sea’s prtectr, replacing his captain’s whites with the all-black f a nn-vilent activist.
Fr Picard, the switch frm bat captain t prtectr has been a lng jurney f self-educatin. He has regrets abut his frmer career as a cmmercial sailr, but is trying t share his knwledge f the maritime (海运的) wrld with as many peple as pssible in the hpe that it can be useful. “I certainly feel guilty,” he says. “It’s guilt fr having participated in the destructin f life. But maybe that is the engine that makes me an activist nw.”
4. What d we learn abut the grup “Stp Crisières”?
A. It is under Picard’s leadership.
B. It has brught sizable prfits.
C. It requires vilence in sme cases.
D. It cnsists f frmer sailrs nly.
5. Why did Picard feel it an urge t prtect the sea?
A. Because he lst trust in the prt authrity.
B. Because he retired frm cmmercial ships.
C. Because he witnessed a sharp rise in cruises.
D. Because he was tired f hiking in muntains.
6. Which f the fllwing best describes ld Picard?

B. Organized and generus.
C. Cnservative and dreamy.
D. Respnsible and devted.

Tday, AI mdels can d an astnishing variety f tasks frm writing detailed reprts t creating vide n demand. Sme peple wrry they will sn be surplus (过剩的) t requirements. But is AI actually putting anyne ut f wrk?
Lts f experts claim that it is. They pint t a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedr Llans-Paredes, frm the University f Oxfrd, which suggests a link between autmatin and declining demand fr translatrs. At the same time, hwever, fficial American data suggest that the number f peple emplyed in translatin and the like is 7% higher than a year ag.
Others search the ecnmic data fr signs f the frthcming AI jb-lss, saying yung graduates are nw mre likely than the average wrker t be jbless. Well, n. American yung graduates’ relative unemplyment rate, which is actual unemplyment rate minus (减) natinal average unemplyment rate, started t rise in 2009, lng befre generative AI came alng. And their actual unemplyment rate (2025), at arund 6%, remains lw.
As we examine American data n emplyment by ccupatin, we pick ut wrkers believed t be vulnerable (易受影响的) t AI. These are white-cllar emplyees, including peple in back-ffice supprt, financial peratins, sales and much mre besides. We find that ver the past year the emplyment in white-cllar wrk has risen slightly.
Acrss the bard, America’s natinal average unemplyment rate (2025) remains lw, at 4.2%. Wage grwth is still reasnably strng, which ges against the cncern that AI is causing demand fr labr t fall. And, utside America, earnings grwth in many cuntries als remains strng.
There are tw cmpeting causes f these trends. First, despite the endless annuncements abut integrating AI int peratins, few cmpanies make much use f the technlgy fr serius wrk. The secnd is that even when cmpanies d adpt the tech, they d nt let peple g.
That said, whatever the cause, fr nw there is n need t panic.
8. What fuels peple’s fear f being unemplyed?
A. Limitatins f human labr.
B. Mdern technlgical advances.
C. Cmplexity f tasks in the AI era.
D. Heavy wrklad in varius fields.
9. Which chart best shws American yung graduates’ relative unemplyment rate?
A. B.
C. D.
10. Why des the authr mentin tw reasns in paragraph 6?
A. T cite the data surces.
B. T identify the likelier reasn.
C. T further justify his predictin.
D. T mdel valid research methds.
11. What’s prbably the authr’s attitude twards human emplyment?
A. Puzzled.B. Alarmed.
C. Indifferent.D. Optimistic.

Space agencies have been treating the idea f living n Mars (火星) a lng-term gal. Hwever, the thin air, lw pressure and extreme temperatures are what mst Earth life can’t tlerate, let alne the cnstant radiatin. S, a Mars shelter is central t any plan fr sustainable human life. Shipping material frm Earth wuld be far t unrealistic. A practical apprach, as is published n the website NASA Science, is t build with what is already n Mars.
NASA has cllected samples f Martian sil that may cntain evidence f very early life. That raises a bigger questin: if micrrganisms (微生物) nce lived n Mars, culd they als help us build there? The fcus is bimineralizatin — micrrganisms create minerals as part f their metablism (新陈代谢). Erik Richards, lead authr f the research, said micrrganisms n Earth that burgen in tugh settings such as acidic lakes, vlcanic sils, and deep caves may be especially useful as we explre what culd wrk under Martian cnditins.
The wrk centers n a partnership between tw bacteria: Sprsarcina pasteurii (巴氏芽孢八叠球菌), which is knwn fr creating calcium carbnate, and Chrcccidipsis (拟甲色球藻), a strng cyanbacterium that can survive extreme envirnments, including simulated (模拟的) Martian cnditins. Tgether, they transfrm lse sil int a slid, cncrete - like material.
The lng-term visin is t cmbine this bacterial c-culture with Martian sil and use it as feedstck (原料) fr 3D printing n Mars. If it wrks in vlume, it culd change hw structures are made n this red planet. The ptential value is nt limited t cnstructin. Because Chrcccidipsis can prduce xygen, it culd als help enable self-sustaining agriculture and Mars’s terrafrming (地球化).
Even with prmising ideas, their wrk is still at an early stage. Repeated delays in Mars sample return limit hw quickly Mars-specific cnstructin methds can be tested and cnfirmed. Als, rbtics tday is unable t reprduce Martian gravity n Earth, yet gravity affects 3D printing and autnmus cnstructin.
12. Why is a shelter f vital imprtance n Mars?
A. Because material frm Earth can’t be used.
B. Because t many space agencies want t stay.
C. Because its cnditins are deadly fr Earth life.
D. Because space agencies target lng-term research.
13. What des the underlined wrd “burgen” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Bm.B. Sink.
C. Cmmunicate.D. Disappear.
14. What can be inferred abut the cnstructin wrk?
A. It is an incredibly fast prcess.
B. It may bring abut added bnus.
C. It has been tested and cnfirmed.
D. It takes just tw types f bacteria.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Different stages.B. Prmising ideas.
C. Current bstacles.D. Ptential applicatins.

Jimmy and Bb had a lt in cmmn. They studied in the same class and lived in the same cmmunity, just a few huses apart. Bth were tp students in their class, winning praise frm teachers and parents. Yet there was a sense f rivalry deep in bth f their hearts. They bth secretly wanted t be the best, rather than just ne f the best.

When the big day arrived, the schl playgrund buzzed with energy: clrful ribbns and ballns everywhere, stalls (摊位) neatly arranged acrss the field. A few stalls away, Jimmy saw Bb’s plain-lking candies and his empty cash bx. He even felt kind f happy, thinking he culd beat him this time. But things didn’t g as expected. Jimmy’s cash bx was n better, with nly ne r tw cins inside. Feeling upset, he accidentally heard tw students talking nearby. “Gd paintings, but I prefer smething practical with my nly pcket mney,” ne student said. Their wrds hitting Jimmy like a lightning blt, he suddenly had an idea.
At lunch break, Jimmy went t Bb. “Bb, I have an idea,” he said seriusly. “I nce tasted yur candies. Althugh they’re nt eye-catching, the tastes are amazing. My paintings are beautiful but nt practical t students in ur schl. What if we wrk tgether? We can split the mney equally, and if we win, we can name the activity tgether — if permitted.”
