British Science Week is entering its third decade in 2025, taking place on 7-16 March, and the theme to mark the start of this new era is “Change and adapt”!
Change and adaptation are all around us
Changing and adapting play a big part in science. You can find examples in every area of STEM （science, technology, engineering and maths）. Cities, towns and other areas where people live change and adapt. Plants and animals change and adapt to their surroundings to survive.
Our behaviors change too— we need to change how we consume the world’s resources to make up for the worst effects of the climate crisis, and adapt our lifestyles to reduce our impact through recycling or reducing waste. But change and adaptation don’t just happen here on Earth, and even the stars and other heavenly bodies change as they gain and lose mass. Perhaps there is life on other planets that adapts as the environment changes.
When exploring this theme, we can also consider how attitudes to STEM and the people who do it have changed and adapted. Concepts of scientists are changing and we need to keep adapting our thinking until we can no longer picture a stereotypical （模式化的） scientist— anyone can be a scientist.
Get involved
“Change and adapt” offers a huge variety of topics to explore as part of your British Science Week 2025 activities. Why not contribute your thoughts to our discussion using the hashtag（話題標簽）# BSW25
We’ll be opening the British Science Week activity packs call for contents in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes on our website and social media for further details.
Applications for Kick Start Grants（撥款）, funding for schools to run events during British Science Week in 2025, will open in September 2024.
21．Which of the following fits the theme of British Science Week 2025
A．Reviewing the history of ancient civilizations.
B．Exploring how urban areas develop over time.
C．Memorizing fixed properties of chemical elements.
D．Tracing the daily routine of a stereotypical scientist.
22．What is the purpose of using the hashtag # BSW25
A．To apply for Kick Start Grants.
B．To promote British Science Week 2025.
C．To share a wide range of relevant ideas and activities.
D．To restrict participation to those who use social media.

In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift . On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I've taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.
24. What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy
A. Inspiring and practical. B. Tiring yet delightful.
C. Exciting and worthwhile. D. Difficult yet engaging.
25. Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2
A. He wanted to focus on his work. B. He was struck by sudden sorrow.
C. He attempted to behave like an adult. D. He was faced with increasing pressure.
26. What did the author get from picking up his hobby
A. More fun in the daily routine. B. New journeys in the wild.
C. Better skills of observation. D. Different styles of photography.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories B. Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens
C. Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography

A study led by UC Riverside (UCR) atmospheric scientists predicts that unchecked carbon emissions(排放物) will force tropical rains to shift northward in the coming decades, which would profoundly impact the regions near the Earth's equator.
The northward rain shift is caused by complex atmospheric changes. These changes are driven by carbon emissions, which in turn influence the formation of tropical convergence(匯集) zones. Those zones are essentially atmospheric engines that drive about a third of the world’s rainfall, which Antony P. Thomas, a professor of climate change and sustainability at UCR reported in a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Tropical regions on either side the equator, such as central African nations, northern South America, and Pacific island states would be the most affected. Major crops in these regions include coffee, cocoa, palm oil, bananas, sugarcane, tea, mangoes, and pineapples.
Tropical rainforests can have as much as 14 feet of rain a year. “The rainfall change is enormous” Antony said. “It's a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.”
Antony and his colleagues used advanced computer models to predict the atmospheric influence of carbon dioxide emissions from continued burning of fossil fuels and other sources.” This climate model included many components of the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land. All these components are interacting with each other,” he said. “Basically, we try to simulate the real world. In the model, we can increase our carbon dioxide emissions from pre-industrial levels to much higher levels.”
The analysis accounted for how carbon emissions influence the amount of radiant energy at the top of atmosphere. It also considered the changes in sea ice, water vapor and cloud formation. These and other factors resulted in conditions that push the rain- forming convergence zones northward by as much as 0.2 degrees on average.
28. What may be the main cause of the rain shift
A. The rainforests. B. Carbon emissions.
C. The Earth's equator. D. Economic growth.
29. How does Antony feel about the rain shift
A. Confused. B. Grateful. C. Worried. D. Indifferent.
30. Which word can best describe the study
A. Comprehensive. B. Widespread. C. Fruitful. D. Historic.
31. What can be inferred from the text
A. The rain shift is unrelated to human activities.
B. The rain shift threatens equatorial agriculture.
C. The study’s computer models were not precise enough.
D. The impact of the rain shift will be limited to remote areas.
D
It has been more than fifty years since man last set foot on the moon but we’re going back. In 2023, both Russia and India launched unmanned probes (探測器) designed to land on the moon. Unfortunately, the Russian probe had an engine misfire on its approach to the moon and crashed. Although Russia has never landed people on the moon, it has landed unmanned probes on the moon, although the last time that happened was in 1976.
China was the third country to successfully land an experimental package on the moon and the first to discover strange glass beads (珠) that it estimates could contain vast amounts of water. In June 2024, China’s Chang’e-6 spacecraft successfully landed on the far side of the moon, marking the first landing there, and collected lunar samples to Earth. China has announced it aims to put its astronauts on the moon by 2030.
The Americans are also headed for the moon. They plan to launch a vehicle called Artemis Two in 2025 with four astronauts on board. The US also hopes to have scientists living on the moon by 2030.
All of this space exploration is dangerous and extremely costly but there are good reasons to go back. There is a lot we can learn about the history of the Earth by looking carefully at the geology (地質學) of the moon. If, in fact, there is water near the moon’s south-pole, that could also give us valuable information about our own origins. The moon is seen as a stepping-stone towards manned landings on Mars. Manned exploration of the Red Planet is certainly possible within the Red Planet lifetimes.
It’s fascinating to watch this activity, but don’t hold your breath waiting for Earthlings to visit another inhabitable (適合居住的) planet, one that could support us without the need for space-suits. The closest one of those is thought to be orbiting another star more than four light-years away, a journey that would take more than six thousand years and many generations using current technology. Will we get there someday Perhaps, and the current space exploration may be baby-steps towards that day.
32. What happened to the 2023 Russian lunar mission
A. The probe broke down on the way. B. The spacecraft caught fire on the moon.
C. It lasted longer than the 1976 mission. D. It sent an unmanned probe to the moon.
33. Which of the following is a record created by China’s lunar exploration
A. Collecting lunar samples. B. Landing astronauts on the moon.
C. Launching the first lunar probe. D. Gaining beads with potential for water.
34. Why is the presence of water on the moon important according to the author
A. It makes further moon-landing possible.
B. It supports human activities without space suits.
C. It may reveal how humans came into being.
D. It is essential for finding another inhabitable planet.
35. What does the author think of the search for another inhabitable planet
A. It’s a waste of time. B. It’s too far to achieve.
C. It’s mature and fruitful. D. It takes efforts of generations.

It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. 36
The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly （組裝） lines, which doesn’t foster or facilitate the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. 37 This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity.
Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. 38 It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time.
39 Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination. and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. 40 In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus.
A．That’s because people tend to overwork.
B．The time of day will also make a difference.
C．As a result, quantity of work was prioritized.
D．To excel in the new era, we’ll need to transform how we work.
E．With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity.
F．Because of that, it’s better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest.
G．The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration.

My anxiety hasn’t completely gone away but remembering what I am 53 of on the bike, and the way it feels to race around the track, gives me the 54 boost that I need. It is truly like a form of therapy （療法） and I feel the old, 55 me again.

“Take a seat, campers! Time for snacks and stories,” Counselor （領隊） Kate announced. As ten third graders dashed toward the campfire circle, Kate turned to Quill. “I need to get more marshmallows（棉花軟糖）, so I’m leaving you in charge for a few minutes. Just tell them a story until I get back,” she said.
Quill agreed. But his hands started to sweat. Being a junior counselor had been pretty easy for Quill so far. He was good at caring for the younger kids. But he’d never been left alone with them before. Even worse, he was poor at telling stories.
As Quill took a seat, he felt ten pairs of eyes staring at him. Nervously, he asked, “What kind of story do you want to hear ” A camper named Caden bounced up and down on the ground, “A horror story!” Alice, another camper, asked, “Can you tell one about a sepulchral（陰森森的） house ”
As everyone began chanting, “Horror story! Horror story! Horror story!” Quill felt a tug（猛拽） on his T- shirt. It was Emma, the quietest camper in the group. “I’m afraid of that kind of stories,” she whispered, gazing at Quill with worried- looking eyes.
Uh- oh! Quill thought if he didn’t tell a horror story, everyone would be disappointed at him and at Emma. What was he going to do now After a moment, he held up his hands for keeping quiet. “OK, instead of a horror story, I’m going to tell... a toast story. I would start the beginning and you continue the story based on your own imagination,” Quill said.
Quill started, “Bob lived in a plastic bag. One day, a hand took Bob out of his bag and dropped him into a dark room. Bob heard a click（咔嗒聲）, and some lights came on. The air inside turned hot, and he started sweating.” Quill stopped and looked at Caden.

Dear Chirs，
I’m delighted to hear you plan to travel in Beijing. For the two-day trip, on the first day, visit the Forbidden City in the morning. Its grand architecture will amaze you. In the afternoon, go to Tiananmen Square. On the second day, take a trip to the Great Wall. It’s a must-see.
Remember to check the weather in advance and wear comfortable shoes. Also, be careful with your belongings. It’s better to learn some simple Chinese phrases for convenience. Book tickets for attractions online in advance to avoid long queues. Have a great trip!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
“It’s a group story and you’ re going to keep the story going,” Quill said to Caden. Caden thought for a moment and smiled. Then he continued in a scary voice on purpose, “Bob felt himself turning brown and crispy. He was sure this was the end of his life, but then suddenly the lights switched off, and Bob shot out of the toaster. Seconds later, a giant hand grabbed him and threw him down. As Bob lay there on the plate, a long, shiny knife appeared over him...” Caden paused for moment. “Alice’s turn,” Quill seized the opportunity and said.
Realizing the dark room was actually a toaster （烤面包機）, Alice smiled, continuing the “horror” story. “Something soft and tasty was placed onto Bob’s body and the knife spread it all over Bob. The action makes Bob giggle...” Everyone listened attentively. The children kept continuing stories one by one, making the plot thrilling, terrifying, funny, and even absurd. They were so absorbed in it, not noticing Kate’s returning. When the story came to a happy ending, Kate praised, “What a great story! Although we don’t have toast to eat, let’s have marshmallows together.” Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter, and Quill had the brightest and happiest smile.

W: Well, Scott Kelly had trouble focusing in school. As a result, he earned low grades. However, he read a novel in college about space programs. The book motivated him to study harder and become a much better student and eventually, an astronaut.
M: Unbelievable.
W: Yes. And another example is about Ellison, a newspaper reporter. Her work earned her a Pulitzer Prize. She didn’t know she had ADHD until her son filled out a form to find out if he had it. Reading the form, she realized that he did have ADHD and, so did she.
M: Really What did she do then
W: She told her son and herself. “A lot of successful people have ADHD, so wear it with pride. Learn to forgive yourself and try to learn a lesson from each one.”
M: Good words.

M: Hello everyone. A homesick camel recently melted the hearts of millions of Chinese people after it was reported to have travelled 100 kilometers to return to its former owner. Temur, the camel’s former master, had sold it to another farmer back in October 2019. The man took it to his home 100 kilometers away and raised it in his hometown. The animal seemed to have adjusted fine to its new home, but on June 27, it ran away. The camel walked through the desert, crossing mountains, high ways and fences. But when finally approaching its old home, it was caught back by its current owner. When its former owner heard about its risky journey, he decided to take it back. So Temur connected the buyer and decided to replace the old camel with a 3-year-old female. After he got it back, he was so heart-broken when he found that it had lots of wounds on its body, as it must have got crossing the fences. By Wednesday, the Pear video documenting the camel’s journey had been watched 16 million times. Many viewers declared themselves touched by the animal.
