　R. Guggenheim Museum, New York City, USA The building itself was designed by admirable architect Frank Lloyd Wright The exhibits inside constantly change, so you could experience Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, modem or contemporary art. And the exhibition of this year is about contemporary art and China.

　Mus6e du Louvre, Paris, France Not only is the Louvre an art museum, but it is also a royal palace, and includes parts of a medieval castle hidden in its basement. Inside the Louvre, you can find Classical sculptures, Egyptian relics and Mesopotamian cultural relics, as well as Italian Renaissance （文艺复 兴）paintings. Design Museum, Lo o ndon, England This museum opened November 2016 and is dedicated to contemporary design in every form.

　shown in Galleria degli Uffizi? A. John Pawson. B. Frank Lloyd Wright. C. Piero della Francesca. D. The Duke and Duchess of Urbino. B In the 1960s and 1970s, the greatest fear was that the human race, and possibly all advanced life forms on the planet, could be wiped out by nuclear missiles. Today, however,

　environmental problems have taken over as the greatest risk to life on Earth. Scientists are thinking of ways to lower this risk, such as replacing coal and oil with forms of renewable energy. But they are also preparing for the worst: what can we do if the terrifying scenes in films such as The Day After Tomorrow happen in real life? What is our plan B for Earth? One option is to explore other planets to see if we could live on them. The most likely choice is Mars, which is relatively close to Earth and has an environment less hostile than that of other planets. Mars has fascinated people since ancient times, and today our interest in Martian exploration is greater than ever before. Besides, more governments are making efforts to educate the public on

　the Red Planet. There is no doubt that humankind is drawn towards Mars. However, sending people there will require all the skill, courage and intelligence. While the Moon can be reached within days, it would take months to reach Mars, travelling through dangerous solar radiation. And even if the first settlers do reach Mars safely, they may not be able to return to Earth — ever. Staying alive will be a daily challenge, but as proved by the Biosphere 2 experiment, not impossible. As early as the 1980s, scientists were building Biosphere 2 in the Arizona desert, consisting of a closed space in which people, animals and plants could live together. Although the two-year experiment was not a success, it did provide us with a better understanding of how humans might be able to live on another planet. For now, human settlement of Mars is still decades away. Until we are finally able to live on another planet, we need to take much better care of our own. Right now, it"s the only one we have! 24. What was the biggest threat to humans in the 1960s and 1970s? A. Human race themselves. B. All advanced life forms. C. Nuclear missiles. D. Environmental problems. 25. Why is Mars so attractive to scientists? A. It"s closest to the earth.

　B. It has relatively proper living conditions. C. It has drawn the public"s attention in recent years.

　D. It has a more hostile environment 26. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Humans have visited Mars B. The Biosphere 2 experiment proved to be valueless C. Humans will have to go and live on another planet. D. Our Plan A includes developing renewable energy resources. 27. From which magazine would the passage probably be taken? A. The Traveler.

　 B Environmental Concerns.

　C. AU About Space.

　 D. Biology for Fun.

　C C

　Since I became a teenager, I have thought a lot about my own future job and set goal for it It"s very necessary and important for me now to decide what I want to become In the past, I used to want to be an engineer because I’m good at drawing and building stuffy but my thought has changed through time.
