Beyond its eco-friendliness,the pollen sunscreen offers cooling benefits even
during peak UV hours(10 a.m.4 p.m.).In tests,skin treated with the pollen
sunscreen stayed up to 5℃cooler for as long as 20 minutes under intense UV
radiation of 3200 μW/cm²,a level typical of midday summer sunlight.This
cooling effect stems from pollen's natural trait of absorbing less heat,which
addresses the overheating discomfort common with regular sunscreens.
Despite its advantages and UV protection meeting commercial standards,the
product remains unavailable to consumers.As Cho Nam-Joon,the study's leading
author,emphasized,“Official approvals and additional tests
on
its
sustained
reliability under various storage conditions are necessary before market launch.”
This required process delays its arrival on store shelves,even as the pollen-based
sunscreen shows great potential for reducing chemical pollution and protecting both
human health and marine life.
32.What is the problem with commercial sunscreen?
A.The risk of skin cancer.
B.The inefficiency of UV protection.
C.The difficulty in washing off.
D.The threat to marine ecosystems.
33.What distinguishes the microgel from regular sunscreen?
A.Its high SPF value.
B.Its natural ingredients.
C.Its marine-based components.
D.Its skin-repair ability.
34.How does the author explain the cooling effect of the pollen sunscreen?
A.By providing statistics.
B.By designing a test.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By describing a process.
35.What is the focus of the last paragraph regarding the pollen sunscreen?
A.Procedures of its official approval.B.Outlook for its market performance.
C.Factors for its delayed launch.
D.Significance of its reliability tests.

The number of cars on UK roads is growing.Finding places for people to park
their vehicles is often difficult.Problems include old,narrow roads with no parking
bays;the increasing size of cars such as SUVs(cars that are generally bigger and
taller than a standard car);and families often having more than one vehicle.
36
Therefore,some people have turned to parking their cars on the
pavement (人行道),
37
It is designed as a dedicated zone for pedestrians( 行人) ,
allowing individuals to travel to school,work,or shops.Is it ever OK to park on a
pavement?
Some think people need cars and they have to park somewhere.It would be
great if everyone could travel by public transport but that isn't always practical.
38
For most people,a monthly season ticket to a major city can cost
hundreds of pounds.

Others argue parking on the pavement isnot fair.It means people might have to
walk out into busy roads to get past.
39
For people with disabilities 01
blindness,this risk is even greater.
In fact,parking on pavements is simply not acceptable as it prioritizes driver
convenience over pedestrian safety.The long-term solution lies with urban designers.
Increasing the supply of parking must be a top priority for them._
40
Additionally,improving reliable and affordable public transport would reduce our
reliance on cars.Our streets need to be designed for everyone,not just for vehicles.
A.This can probably cause accidents.
B.Safety is the main concern for this.
C.The issues have made finding somewhere to park a car tricky.
D.They should make proper schedules to limit pavement parking.
E.For example,they must invest in building more multi-storey car parks.
F.The primary function of a pavement is to provide a safe path for people.
G.Lots of places aren't served by public transport and fares can be quite expensive.

The photograph that greeted me at the entrance to a special exhibition at the

stirred within me as I recognized the lotus field,the stone arch bridge and the willow
trees instantly.“Look,that's the West Lake!That's in Hangzhou,

I shared my amazement with the family members.Never did I imagine that
Hangzhou would join hands with the city of my childhood

some of its greatest treasures with my fellow Clevelanders.But none of this should

Jane was busy in the kitchen,stirring eggs for her annual“Pancake Day”
party.It was a tradition she had held for ten years—a casual get-together with
friends,simple food,and lots of laughter.However,this year,things felt different.
Her
daughter,Liz,walked
in,looking
hesitant.“Mum,"she
said.“I
know
you haven't seen the guest list,but our new neighbor,Marjory,is holding a huge
party tonight,too.”Marjory had just moved into the big house next door.“It's a
French-themed fancy party,"Liz explained.“She has hired professional caterers
(餐饮服务),and she's even prepared a colorful pinata(彩罐)and a collection of
sparkly masks.She wants to make a big impression on the village.”
Jane felt a wave of anxiety.“So,she's trying to steal my guests?”Jane tried
to sound lighthearted,but she was worried.Would her friends prefer Marjory's
luxury event to her simple pancakes?
The evening arrived.To Jane's
surprise and relief,the doorbell rang.Bob and
other familiar friends flooded in,filling the kitchen with chatter.“We dropped in
on the big house first,"Bob explained,grabbing a warm pancake.“But it was a
disaster.The caterers
didn't
turn up!”Bob
continued,laughing,"The
house was
huge but empty.Marjory was standing there in a fancy purple dress,looking panic-
stricken.So we made our excuses and came here.Your pancakes are much better
anyway!”
Jane smiled,feeling a weight lift off her shoulders.Her tradition was safe.The
kitchen was warm and lively,a stark contrast to the silence next door.Curious,
Jane glanced out the kitchen window,which faced Marjory's dining room.Through
the glass,the scene was heartbreakingly clear.Marjory was sitting all alone at a
long table set for twenty people.Her shoulders were shaking,and she was burying
her face in her hands,surrounded by untouched decorations.
Bob followed Jane's
gaze and
shook his head.“Well,that's
depressing,"he
said,reaching for the switch of the window blind.“Let's just close this so we don't
have to look at it and ruin our mood."
