21、Unusual Libraries Around the World
There are 2.7 million libraries spreading across the globe, and while there are many beautiful ones, there are also a number of unique ones.
Haskell Free Library and Opera House, Quebec, Canada and Vermont, US
The Haskell Free Library and Opera House, a special library spanning two countries, is stationed on the border between Canada and the United States and serves people from both countries. The main entrance is on the American side, but the majority of collection of the books are in Canada. There’s even an official American-Canada borderline running right across the library’s floor.
Deichman Bjørvika, Oslo, Norway
Praised by many as a library of the future, the Deichman Bjørvika, city of Oslo’s new main library, has one hundred unread and unpublished texts. They are stored in a specially designed room lined with wood from the forest, making the library the world’s most secretive one. It witnesses different authors add their works to the collection that will not be available for reading until 2114.
Seashore Library, Qinhuangdao, China
Quietly sitting on an isolated (孤零零的) stretch of beach of Qinhuangdao in northern China, the Seashore Library has been called the world’s loneliest library. People have to walk across the sand to reach the doors. The building is designed to promote people’s connection with ocean, so the main reading room features a layered design to ensure that everyone has a good view of the sea.
Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Alexandria, Egypt
Bíbliotheca Alexandrina is considered as a revival (复兴) of an ancient library in the Alex-andria 2,300 years ago or so.

22、AI, 5G, cloud computing and other digital technologies are not only changing our lives but shaping the economy as well.
China’s six major commercial banks are stepping up digital wallet efforts to provide new drive for the e-CNY(数字人民币) trials in the country, as reported by Shanghai Securities News on March 23.
“The functions and properties of e-CNY are exactly the same as those of the paper currency, except that the form is digital,” said Mu Changchun, head of the People’s Bank of China’s Digital Currency Research Institute.
Many people are puzzled by e-CNY and electronic payments. “Digital currency has the characteristics of both paper money and electronic payment,” said Wu Qianhong, a professor at the School Electronic and Information Engineering, Beihang University. “In theory, digital currency can replace paper money, Alipay and WeChat payments.”
Compared with Alipay and WeChat payments, e-CNY features anonymity (匿名性) and security. E-commerce platforms that accept payments via e-CNY will not have access to user’s personal information. E-CNY users can open an anonymous digital wallet by registering a mobile phone number, and telecom operators cannot disclose customer information to the central bank or any third-party institutions. Mu noted that e-CNY users’ privacy protection is at the highest level among all the existing payment tools.
Similar to Alipay and WeChat payments, using e-CNY requires an account. After obtaining the other party’s account number, users can enter the amount of digital money to transfer and then enter the payment password to complete the transaction (交易). However, the process behind these transfers are different. For electronic payments, the transfer has to go through a third party, and the receivers will get the transferred money only when they withdraw money from banks. But e-CNY transfers only need a payer and a receiver to complete a transaction. Therefore, it guarantees risk-free payments, according to Wu.
In simple terms, e-CNY can be considered “money”, while electronic payments are like “wallet”.
【1】What can we know about e-CNY?
A．It is issued by six major commercial banks.
B．It combines paper money and electronic payment.
C．It is designed to replace Alipay and WeChat payments.
D．It has exactly the same function as other payment tools.
【2】How does e-CNY protect users’ privacy?
A．By limiting access to personal information.
B．By storing personal data in the central bank.
C．By opening a unique digital wallet for each user.
D．By linking telecom operators to a mobile phone number.
【3】What can be concluded from Paragraph 6?
A．E-CNY transfers require to go through a third party.
B．E-CNY is more convenient than other electronic payments.
C．E-CNY can be transferred without the receiver’s information.
D．E-CNY and electronic payments ensure security in the same way.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?
A．To promote the use of e-CNY.
B．To inform readers of e-CNY.
C．To compare different types of payments.
D．To describe the impact of digital technologies.
23、People sometimes think of moving among people and talking to them at a dinner party like it’s a mechanical process. I know some advice on it can give the impression that you need to approach it that way. 【1】 .
In my experience, at parties it’s best to go with the flow, talk to the people who look interesting to you, and see where the night takes you. 【2】, but don’t feel you have to talk to every last guest. There’s no party rule that says if you’re a bad person for not doing that. A lot of people don’t.
For whatever reason, two metaphors (暗喻) come to mind when I think about talking to people at parties. 【3】 . At any party there are all these sub groups, conversations, and activities going on. One group is talking in the back yard, another is on the front porch, some people are playing video games downstairs, and so on. Everyone is moving around throughout the evening and visiting the various “fairground booths”. There’s no expectation to go to all of them.
The second metaphor is that I picture people at a party as a bunch of ping pong balls floating in a basin of water, and moving around on the surface. For a time a few balls may come together, but then they’ll break up and maybe temporarily group with a few others. 【4】 Someone may be talking to one group, then see their friend doing something fun and leave to watch what they’re doing.
【5】 and don’t feel you must start at the front door and systematically work your way around the room or anything.
A．If you want to try, go for it
B．In practice it’s not really a matter of that
C．The first is to see a party like a fairground
D．Again, go to a party intending to just move along like this
E．I will spend the party making the rounds and speaking to people
F．Basically, the movement of people from group to group is not planned
G．You’ll decide if you have a better time when you keep chatting to the funny friends
24、Since China launched its first lunar spacecraft in 2007, the nation has achieved something nobody has managed to do before. Here is a brief history of Chinese lunar missions.
Chang’e 1
It was launched in October 2007 on a 16-month mission to map the moon from the orbit. Having studied the lunar surface and the surrounding environment there, the spacecraft crashed onto the moon on March 2, 2009.
Chang’e 2
Launched on October 1, 2010, Chang’e 2 returned a more detailed map of the moon’s entire surface and took close-up images of the Bay of Rainbows, where mission planners at the time suggested they might put down the country’s first lander. It left the moon’s orbit in April 2012 to fly by another small planet called 4179 Toutatis, which it reached in December 2012.
Chang’e 3
Chang’e 3 is most famous for landing its rover, Yutu, on the moon—the first one since 1976. After heading out to the surface on December 14, 2013, Yutu took many amazing pictures that were sent back to the earth. In 2015, it even discovered a new kind of rock.
Chang’e 4
When Chang’e 4 made a safe touchdown on the far side of the moon on January 2, 2019, it made history since it was the first time that a rover has landed there. The far side is a more challenging environment in general than the near side.
Chang’e 5
The Chang’e 5 spacecraft, which was launched on November 24, 2020, returned to the earth on December 16, 2020, carrying around 2 kilograms of rocks and soils from the northern part of the moon. The lunar sample will help scientists fill in a gap in knowledge about the history of the moon between roughly one billion and three billion years ago.

A．Chang’e 1.
B．Chang’e 2.
C．Chang’e 3.
