I received a rejection email 2 weeks after interviewing for a postdoc position. When I read it, I felt angry because
I didn’t even know why I wasn’t successful. After applying for a job at a consulting company, I got a phone call from
a company representative. “Unfortunately, we decided to offer the job to someone else,” the voice said. Again I felt
discouraged. But the conversation wasn’t over. The representative went on to tell me I hadn’t clearly expressed my
motivation for applying for the position and why I wanted to work for the company. The feedback (反馈) was tough
to hear. But I quickly realized he was right.
From then on, I decided to carefully evaluate each job opening and only pursue the ones that I was passionate
about. In my applications, I also began stating more clearly why I wanted that particular job. Soon the approach
started to pay off, as I got an offer for a postdoc position in Poland that I was truly excited about.
A few years later, I found myself on the other side of the interview table. As a freshly hired group leader, I was
interviewing candidates for the first Ph. D. position in my lab. I was particularly looking forward to talking with one
candidate; on paper, his application looked great-nice CV, good recommendations, strong cover letter. But the
interview went badly. He didn’t seem to have done any reading in advance about the research I was doing, which
made me wonder whether he was truly interested in working with me. When I called to tell him I couldn’t offer him
the position, I asked him if he wanted to know where he could improve in future interviews. As the conversation went
on, I got the sense that he was grateful for what I said.
I’ve since filled several positions in my lab. For each recruitment (招 募 ), I’ve made a point to treat every
interview as a trade: Candidates invest time and effort to prepare for our conversation-and if they don’t get the
position, the least I can do is reward their effort with pointers on how they can improve.
24. How did the author feel after the conversation with the representative?
A. Confused. B. Proud. C. Grateful. D. Disappointed.
25. What can we know about the author’s new interviewing strategy?
A. It is risky. B. It is effective. C. It is complex. D. It is traditional.
26. What went wrong with the interviewee according to paragraph 3?
A. He was lacking in social skills. B. He had a faulty cover letter.
C. He was too selective in the position. D. He knew nothing about the interviewer’s research.
27. What is the author probably?
A. A company manager. B. A professional writer. C. A businessman. D. A researcher.
C
Different photoreceptors (视细胞) in the eyes can affect how we see the world around us. Animals including
bees and some birds can see ultraviolet light (紫外线) that human eyes cannot see. By reconstructing the colors that
we know animals can see, scientists can learn more about how they communicate and find their position. Getting an
accurate view of what animals are seeing has been a challenge, but a camera system developed by scientists at the
University of Sussex in the United Kingdom and George Mason University in Virginia could help ecologists and
filmmakers create videos that closely copy the colors that different animals see in their natural environments.
The camera system builds on the current technique called spectrophotometry. By using this technique, images are
taken at specific wavelength ranges that are typically beyond what humans can see. However, using the method can be
time-consuming, produce false colors, require specific lighting conditions, and can’t always capture (拍摄) something
that is moving. To overcome some of these limitations, the team developed a camera and software system that
captures animal-view videos of moving objects under natural lighting conditions.
One of the cameras records videos in four different color channels at the same time: blue, green, red, and UV.
That data is then processed into perceptual units using a popular programming language called Python. This generates
a more accurate video of how animals see those colors. The team tested this new system against the traditional
spectrophotometry methods and their new system predicted the perceived colors with an accuracy of over 92 percent.
“Our project was quite involved, and we had many surprises along the way,” says Daniel Hanley, a leading researcher.
“The most surprising thing that we discovered was how much clouds can impact an observed color. We didn’t tend to
notice these shifts, but they were notable.”
“We plan to apply the camera system as broadly as possible. Currently, we are exploring a range of applications,”
says Hanley. “Our hope is that through community engagement our designs can improve and we will gather many
novel observations about colors in nature.”
28. For what do researchers study animal vision?
A. To try out the newly-developed camera system. B. To improve the animals’ natural environments.
C. To see the effect of ultraviolet light on animals. D. To understand animal communication more effectively.
29. What is an advantage about the new camera and software system?
A. It changes the way colors look. B. It requires no specific lighting conditions.
C. It allows users to capture smaller objects. D. It can transform images in different wavelength ranges.
30. What surprises the researchers most during the experiment?
A. The new system is rather accurate. B. Clouds will affect how animals see the world.
C. Animals are more sensitive to colors than humans. D. The camera can record videos in four color channels.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Strange Ways That Animals See the World
B. Researchers Study the Development of Animal Vision
C. New Camera System Reveals World Through Animals’ Eyes
D. Some Animals See World That’s Completely Invisible to Our Eyes
D
As the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) keep growing, some companies are hiring “AI prompt (提示)
engineers” to help them get the best out of the emerging technology. Are these jobs set to become a universal
presence, or are they a passing fad (时尚)? Generative AI creates text or images in response to prompts entered by the
user. This can be as simple as asking for something in plain English, similar to using a search engine. But there is a
key to it: including the right references and keywords that can guide AI towards the desired outcome.
“By buying a pre-built prompt given by prompt engineers, you can ensure the AI model will generate what you
want. The average price is $3.50, but some prompts can cost hundreds of dollars, ”says Ben Stokes, the founder of
Prompt Base. Most of the prompt engineers on the site don’t have a technical background. The engineers tend to come
from a photography or graphic design background, and those working on prompts for generating text used to work in
marketing or copy writing.
Aaron Sines at US recruitment firm Razoroo has been placing engineers into AI jobs for five years, but only
came across the term “prompt engineer” earlier this year. Sines says that a lot of the companies approaching him
looking for a “prompt engineer” are actually seeking a more rounded AI researcher with technical skills. He believes
AI models could become better at extracting (提取) information from humans about what they want, making the idea
of a specialized prompt engineer obsolete, but thinks there will always be a need for humans to oversee AI models
during development and application.
Zhan Qin at Zhejiang University in China says complex prompts, and the prompt engineers who create them, are
unlikely to disappear any time soon because AI models aren’t like traditional algorithms (算法) that work on logic and
can be entirely understood by humans. “Some prompts are short. But there are a lot of very, very long prompts. Even
the generators of those prompts do not know the exact meanings behind those magical words,” says Qin.
32. What matters most in providing prompts for generative AI?
A. Short content. B. Appropriate words. C. Simple English. D. Attractive images.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The basic function of AI models. B. The development of AI models.
C. The urgent need for prompt engineers. D. The problems of prompt engineering.
34. Which can best replace the underlined word “obsolete” in paragraph 3?
A. Outdated. B. Complicated. C. Dominant. D. Understandable.
35. What does Zhan Qin think of future prompt engineers?
A. They’ll still have a role to play. B. They will lose appeal soon.
C. They will face cruel competition. D. They will experience ups and downs.

Change can be hard. It means a lack of certainty and predictability. 36 Here are some tips to give your teen
to help them cope with change in a healthy way.
37 Many times, our first response to change is to either deny it, fight it, or run away from it. Unfortunately,
none of these strategies help us cope with change successfully. Most of the time we can’t control change, but we can
control our response to it. Sometimes, simply saying “things are changing, and that’s OK” can make us feel better.
Control what you can. 38 Having some things that stay the same like walking the dog every evening after
dinner reminds us that some things are still the same and allows our brain to rest. It can also help to plan whatever is
still in our control or set goals for areas we want to see improve. Useful strategies can include focusing on the problem
at hand, developing a plan for action, and asking for advice.
Identify your fears. Our imaginations can get the best of us sometimes, and we might exaggerate the problem.
Honestly evaluate the change and consider what the worst case is. Determine what specifically is making you worried.
39
Talk about solutions more than feelings. One of the most common myths (谬 见 ) of coping with unwanted
changes is the idea that we can “work through” our anger, fears, and frustrations by talking about them a lot. 40
In fact, research shows that repeatedly broadcasting negative emotions can make us feel worse. As you talk about the
change you are facing, make sure you are focusing on the problem and possible solutions, and avoid focusing solely
on your feelings.
A. Take a fair attitude.
B. Acknowledge the change.
C. This isn’t always the case.
D. Look at the positives that will come out of the change.
E. It helps to have other areas of our life follow a predictable schedule.
F. You might realize that the worst case is not as bad as you imagined.
G. However, change is necessary for growth and it is normal to fear what we don’t know.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once upon a time, there lived a young boy named Ethan in a small village. With a passion for music, Ethan was
enthusiastic about playing the guitar. Every day after school, he would rush home, grab his guitar, and lose himself in
the melodies (乐曲) he created.
One summer, the village was hosting a talent show, and Ethan decided to participate. However, doubts started to
flood into his mind. He began comparing himself to other talented musicians and questioning his abilities. The fear of
failure began to consume him.
But Ethan’s grandfather, who had always been his biggest supporter, noticed his grandson’s inner struggle. He
sat down with Ethan and shared a story from his own youth.
“When I was your age, I had a dream of becoming a painter. But I was filled with self-doubt, just like you are
now. I decided to seek guidance from a wise old artist in a nearby town.
The old artist listened to my worries and offered me a challenge. He asked me to paint a picture on a large canvas
in front of a crowd. Overwhelmed by the challenge, I hesitated.
The wise artist smiled and told me not to focus on what others might think. He asked me to paint from my heart
and pour my soul into every stroke. The beauty lies not in perfection, but in the authenticity (真 实 性 ) of one’s
creation.
Encouraged by these words, I accepted the challenge. I painted with passion, letting my emotions guide my
brush. Finally, a beautiful masterpiece appeared on the canvas.”
Finishing the story, Ethan’s grandfather said, “That day, I realized that success is not defined by how perfect we
are or how we compare to others. It’s about embracing our unique talents, taking risks, and expressing ourselves with
passion and authenticity.”
注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Inspired by his grandfather’s story, Ethan decided to give the talent show his all.
Ethan didn’t pay much attention to the surroundings until he heard the applause at the end of his performance.
