B
“What have I gotten myself into ” I wondered as I sat through a research meeting conducted
entirely in Polish (波兰语), unable to even read the title on the screen. Having only basic Polish
language skills, I found my experiment in cross-cultural cooperation more challenging than I had
expected.
The idea of spending time abroad hadn’t occurred to me until my advisor suggested it during
my first year. With his support, I enjoyed a remarkable summer in a laboratory in Japan, which left
me wanting more. So, I applied for a Fulbright fellowship (研究生奖学金) in Poland. To receive
the fellowship, I first had to find a lab to host me, and neither I nor my advisor had any connections
to Poland.
Relying on Google to translate lab websites, I began to send cold emails. When my eventual
host responded, eager to cooperate, I was excited. I suddenly felt the possibilities for my research
career were endless and global.
I was the first visiting scholar my research group had hosted from the United States, and my
Polish colleagues were curious about what brought me to their country. This led to many fruitful
discussions about the similarities and differences in how science is conducted across cultures. For
example, much of the funding in Poland is awarded to teams rather than individuals. The system
promotes cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) cooperations across the country, which in turn shapes how
scientists design and carry out studies.
I learned as much about the history and culture in Central and Eastern Europe as I did
scientifically. Colleagues related firsthand accounts about challenges the region faced during the
Cold War. Many laboratories had limited resources, and they rarely published their research in
English. Those conditions helped shape research on antimicrobial treatment into bacteriophage and
antibiotics, and Poland remain leaders in the former to this day.
My complete involvement into Polish culture made me a better researcher. I now see
cross-cultural cooperations as a way to overcome communication barriers that can block progress in
science. By stepping outside my comfort zone, I gained the confidence to navigate my research in
new directions that I might have otherwise boxed myself out of.
24. Why did the author apply for fellowship in Poland
A. To practice Polish and learn its culture. B. To have another rewarding experience.
C. To follow the advisor’s suggestion. D. To continue the research started in Japan.
25. How did the author benefit from the experience in Poland
A. He became an expert in Cold War history.
B. He had access to cross-disciplinary cooperations.
C. He secured plentiful funding for future research projects.
D. He obtained scientific knowledge and a global perspective.

26. Which words best describe the author
A. Helpful and determined. B. Careful and innovative.
C. Adventurous and enquiring. D. Curious and competitive.
27. What does the author imply about cross-cultural cooperations
A. They are essential for the advancement of science.
B. They might box researchers out of a certain direction.
C. They are valueless for creative minds in scientific field.
D. They should attach more importance to language training.

Needles, though essential for delivering many vital medicines, are not popular among patients.
Many people experience discomfort or anxiety at the sight of a needle, making injections (注射) an
unpleasant experience. Now, new research led by Giovanni Traverso at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) offers a way to give medicine without this discomfort — by copying how
squids (鱿鱼) shoot ink and water.
Dr. Traverso’s tiny automated injectors are packaged in capsules that patients can swallow.
Once inside the digestive system, the capsules break down, releasing the injectors, which then
deliver drugs through the surface layer of stomach or other digestive organs and into the subsurface
tissues below. This method allows patients to receive treatment without seeing or feeling a needle.
Although the technique is promising, it is not yet entirely reliable. For an injector to work
effectively, it must be positioned almost perfectly upright against the target tissue. With skin
injections, a medical professional can adjust the angle by hand, but inside the digestive system, this
is much more difficult.
To solve this problem, Dr. Traverso turned to squids, which can shoot ink and water at high
pressure in multiple directions. Inspired by this natural ability, he and his team worked with a
medical company to develop tiny spring-loaded devices that release fast streams of medicine when
activated. Tests on digestive tissues from pigs and dogs showed that the devices can effectively give
injections even at angles below 70°.
While human trials have yet to begin, Dr. Traverso hopes the technology will soon help people with
diabetes, a disease that requires the patients to get multiple injections daily. A more convenient delivery
system could make treatment easier and less stressful. But the potential applications extend beyond
diabetes— similar devices may one day be used to make immunization (免疫接种) more accessible. If all
goes well, fear of needles could become a thing of the past.
28. What can we learn about the new injectors from the first two paragraphs
A. They are made from squid ink. B. They are invisible to human eyes.
C. They enjoy popularity among patients. D. They operate within the digestive system.

30. What can we infer about the technology from the last paragraph
A. It proves effective in human trials. B. It will cure people of needle anxiety.
C. It shows promises for future applications. D. It will reduce the cost of diabetes treatment.

When you’re driving around the same block, keeping searching, because there’s nowhere to
park your car, any suggestion that America devotes too much space to parking might seem foolish.
But consider this: in a typical year, the country builds more three-car garages ( 车 库 ) than
one-bedroom apartments. Even the crowded cities reserve lots of street space to store private
vehicles. And local laws across the country require house and apartment builders to provide
off-street parking, whether residents need it or not. Step back to assess the result: it’s obvious that
more areas are devoted to parking each car than to housing each person.
That Americans like driving is hardly news, but all the above talking isn’t finding fault with cars.
The complaint is about parking — or, more to the point, about everything we have given up for it. Over
the years, cities and towns have torn down grand old structures to make way for it.All those parking spots
have not only damaged the environment or these once-valued architectural styles, but also upset the crucial
social goal of housing affordability. This misplaced priority has put the country in a bind. For decades,
even as rents rocketed and climate change worsened, the prevalence (普遍存在 ) of parking spaces
discouraged anyone from noticing their social impact. But the parking space has been eating up our living
space for sure, with or without our knowledge.
Here an optimist may give the excuse that some of the country’s largest cities have no choice
but to renegotiate the relationship among people, cars, and parking spaces. However, parking
space’s conquering the city in the 20th century was already so complete that, in the 21st, people need
to recognize that the rules have to change, and that the constant promotion of parking spaces is
already weakening cities and crowding out other needs. Some of the most consequential social
problems are the ones hiding in plain sight, but parking isn’t even hiding. It’s just everywhere — for
us to take seriously.
32. In which section can we most probably read this passage
A. Travel. B. Features. C. Front page. D. Public welfare.
33. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Lead the country to trouble. B. Discourage residents from buying cars.
C. Annoy the local residents. D. Weaken the country’s overall strength.

34. What can we infer about parking space’s role in the 20th century cities
A. It dominated urban planning priorities.
B. It failed to meet the growing parking demands.
C. It was a necessary renegotiation by the city government.
D. It unexpectedly brought about change to people’s daily life.
35. What can be concluded from the passage
A. America should continue expanding parking though it is harmful.
B. Cities in the 21st century should absolutely stop building more garages.
C. Too much parking space is damaging the society so it should be limited.
D. Housing and other problems are not as urgent as insufficient parking space.

You already know there are many great reasons to exercise. And detailed exercise instructions
and workout plans are just a click away. But if knowing why and how to exercise was enough, we’d
all be in shape. Making exercise a habit takes more. 36
While practical concerns like a busy schedule can make exercise challenging, for most of us,
the biggest barrier is mental. Maybe it’s a lack of self-confidence that keeps you from taking
positive steps. 37 We’ve all experienced these at some point in our fitness journey. But
know this: whatever your age or fitness level, there are tips you can take to make exercise less
painful and more fun.
First of all, change the all-or-nothing attitude. You don’t have to spend hours in a gym or force
yourself into painful activities to experience the benefits of exercise. 38 In fact, adding just
modest amounts of physical activity to your weekly routine can have a strong effect on your
emotional health.
The next tip is to be kind to yourself. Research shows that self-compassion (自我同情 )
increases the likelihood that you’ll succeed in any given attempt. So, don’t beat yourself up about
your body, your current fitness level, or your supposed lack of willpower. 39 Instead, look
at your past mistakes and unhealthy choices as opportunities to learn and grow.
40 You didn’t get out of shape overnight, so you’re not going to instantly transform
your body either. Expecting too much, too soon only leads to disappointment. Try not to be
discouraged by what you can’t do or how far you have to go to reach your fitness goals.
A. All that will do is demotivate you.
B. A little exercise is better than nothing.
C. The last tip is to check your expectations.
D. Reward yourself after an intense workout.
E. Maybe you get easily discouraged and give up.
F. The third tip is to make a good plan and set goals.
G. You also need the right mindset and a smart approach.

they’re so 51 ” I guessed, “Because they all love to dance ” He replied, “No. It’s because you
showed them 52 by asking their names. Many who come to teach them see them merely as

The Robotics Challenge
I had always enjoyed working with machines, so when my teacher announced a
robot-building contest, I immediately raised my hand to join. The task was to create a robot that
could follow a black line on the floor and pick up small objects along the way. The winning team
would represent our school in the city-wide competition — a chance I didn’t want to miss.
My teammates were Alex, who loved computers, and Mia, who was good at fixing things. At
our first meeting in the science classroom, Alex kept typing on his laptop while saying things like
“We need better sensors” and “The code must be perfect.” Mia sat quietly drawing detailed pictures
of how the robot should look, but didn’t want to start building yet. After three long hours, we just
talked and didn’t make anything.
Over the next week, I tried my best to help. I stayed after school reading books about robots
and writing down possible solutions in my notebook. When I excitedly showed Alex my simplest
idea, he barely looked up from his computer screen. “That won’t work,” he muttered (低声嘟囔).
“We need a more complex program.” Mia, surrounded by metal parts and tools, just shook her head
when I asked when we could build something. “Not yet,” she said, “the design isn’t ready.”
Feeling very anxious, I made up my mind to handle everything on my own. That night, I
stayed up late, working hard to build the robot by myself. However, despite all my efforts, the result
was far from satisfactory — wheels that couldn’t go straight, arms that couldn’t grasp anything. I
was tired out and discouraged. My dad noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” he gently
reminded me. “Alex and Mia have talents that can make this project shine. Don’t let them get stuck
on perfection at the beginning. Get them to help you with the practical problems first.”

When English Meets The Arts
Recently, our school organized a series of activities titled “When English Meets The Arts”.
Among the activities, a drama performance titled “AMidsummer Night’s Dream” impressed
me most. Students adapted Shakespeare’s classic into a 20-minute play, blending English lines with
modern dance and live music. The actors’ vivid expressions and fluent English brought the magical
story to life, while the stage design combined watercolor paintings with digital projections, creating
a dreamlike atmosphere.
This activity showed me how art can make language learning vivid. It wasn’t just about
reciting lines but feeling the emotions behind words. I realized that English, when connected with
art, becomes a bridge to share stories beyond borders.
One possible version:
With only three days left, I knew I had to do something. The next morning, I gathered Alex and
Mia. I told Alex to work on the robot’s code for straight movement and Mia to build strong arms for
grabbing. Looking at both of them, I added, “Let’s finish it first, then perfect it later.” To my relief,
they finally agreed. Alex focused on the program, and Mia worked on the arms. I helped test each
part, guiding the robot along the line until, by dusk, it completed the course. We high-fived,
exhausted but hopeful. Then, we worked hard to make it even better.
On competition day, the gym was busy as teams set up their robots. When our turn came, Alex
turned on the robot with shaking hands. It hesitated, then rolled smoothly, following the black line.
At the first station, its arm picked up a block perfectly. Cheers erupted as it went through every turn
without mistakes. When it crossed the finish line, even the judges clapped. Mia jumped in joy, and
Alex finally smiled. “We did it!” he yelled. As we hugged, I felt a surge of pride — not just in our
robot, but in how far we’d come by finally working as one.

M: The one about our new marketing proposal
W: Yes. I need to finalize the presentation tonight, I think Sarah would have led the discussion if she
were here, but I’ll have to take over for her.
M: That makes sense. By the way, I’m going to see Sarah tomorrow. Do you think sending her some
flowers would be a good idea
W: That’s nice. You’re so thoughtful.

M: Lisa, did you grow up learning to play any instruments
W: Yes. I started learning the guitar when I was eleven. I’d just moved to a new school and didn’t
know anyone. Joining the school band seemed like a nice way to make friends, and they
happened to need someone to play the guitar. What about you
M: I’ve been learning the violin since I was six. My grandfather used to take me to classical music
concerts, and I was so inspired that I begged my parents to let me start lessons.
W: That’s great! Do you still play now
M: I do, but I wish I’d practiced more back then. Instead, I spent a lot of time hanging out at the
park with my friends.
W: I can understand that. For me, playing the guitar is more about teaching now.
M: I see. For me, I don’t regret choosing the violin, especially since most kids I knew at the time
were more into rock music.

W: Daniel, congratulations on your recent exhibition! It must have been exciting to exhibit your
artwork in a public gallery in New York.
M: Thanks, Emma. It was indeed a wonderful experience. It’s always amazing to see how people
interpret my art.
W: Could you tell us audience what inspired your latest collection
M: Sure. Most of the pieces were inspired by my travels to small coastal towns. I wanted to express
the simplicity and appeal of life there. However, I also added some abstract elements to make it
more interesting.
W: I noticed that you experimented with new techniques in this collection. Why was that
M: I’ve always been interested in pushing boundaries. This time, I combined watercolor and digital
editing to create a layered effect. It was tough but worth it.
W: What’s next for you Another exhibition, perhaps
M: Not immediately. I want to take some time to teach a few workshops and share what I’ve
learned over the years. It’s a way of giving back to the community.

W: Good evening, everyone. My name is Grace Collins, and I’m excited to share my experiences with
you tonight. For the past ten years, I’ve worked to protect and restore natural ecosystems, particularly in a
small island nation in the Pacific. One of my proudest projects was creating a community program where
local fishermen could work together to monitor and protect the environment.
These partnerships have shown me that successful conservation isn’t just about using the latest
tools or technologies. It’s about building trust, respecting local traditions, and finding ways to solve
problems together. I’ve learned so much from the people I’ve worked with, and their knowledge has
been key to bringing real change.
Later in my talk, I’ll introduce some new techniques we’ve recently developed to help speed
up restoration efforts, but first, I’d like to tell you more about the work we did and what we learned
along the way. After my presentation, I’d be happy to take any questions.
