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.

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.

M: Hello, Maggie. Mountain biking is a popular sport among teenagers but there are fewer girls doing it. Am I right W: Yes, although we’ re growing in numbers. When I was 13, my dad bought my brother a mountain bike but I was given an ordinary one. I really wanted to join my brother, so in the end my aunt got one for me.
M: And now you’ re a winner
W: Yes. I just won the Regional Championship. It was a difficult course with lots of rocks. At one point I thought I wasn’t going to win. I was ahead and then I had to slow down because a photographer jumped out from behind a tree.
M: What do you think is the most important before a race
W: Well, there’s much to do. Take plenty of exercise to keep fit. Check the route in advance. And the most important I think is that you must make sure everything’s working on the bike. If there’s anything wrong with the bike, I’ll be in trouble. And the clothes shouldn’t slow you down so they need to be tight. They might feel a bit uncomfortable when you first put them on, but you will soon get used to it. I’m not bothered about not looking pretty—I just want to win.
M: Maggie, thank you so much for talking to us.

W: For hundreds of years, people have enjoyed ice cream. No one is sure when people first started to eat this frozen food. But paintings show an icy dessert being enjoyed as far back as the twelfth century. Ice cream became popular among the rich in Europe during the 1500s. King Charles I of England liked ice cream so much. He carried out a law which said that it could be served only at his table. He even said that he would cut off his cook’s head if the cook gave the ice cream recipe to anyone. To him, the food was of great value, so he didn’t want to share it with anyone. In the United States, ice cream was eaten on special occasions by the country’s richest people. However, ice cream didn’t reach the rest of the nation until 1845. At that time, a New Jersey woman made a hand-held ice cream maker. With that machine, ice cream is not just for kings and presidents. Now it’s for all of us!

写作第二节 (满分25分)
One possible version:
Inspired by his grandfather’s story, Ethan decided to give the talent show his all. He practiced every day, often for hours, until his fingers were raw and his back ached. He practiced tirelessly and poured his heart into every note. When the day of the talent show arrived, Ethan took a deep breath, stepped on stage, and played his guitar like never before. The audience was captivated by his performance. Ethan’s fingers danced on the strings, creating melodies that touched their hearts. At that moment, he realized that his self-doubts had held him back, but now he was free.
Ethan didn’t pay much attention to the surroundings until he heard the applause at the end of his performance. He looked up and saw his grandfather smiling proudly at him from the audience. Ethan felt a surge of happiness and pride. His hard work and dedication had paid off, and he had finally overcome his self-doubts. He smiled, knowing that this was just the beginning of his musical journey. Ethan never forgot the lesson he learned from his grandfather’ s story: With hard work and dedication, one can achieve his dreams. Beauty lies not in perfection, but in the authenticity of your creation. He regarded this lesson as a constant reminder to never give up on his passions and dreams.
