An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Content Marketing Assistant to join the Admissions, Recruitment and Marketing Division in the University of East Anglia (UEA). The Content Marketing Assistant is responsible for delivery of the processes relating to the creation of visual editorial content.
You’ll deliver “business as usual” activity that is received from multiple investors and help with visual content production relationships.

This full-time post is available from 3 March 2025 on a fixed-term basis to 31 March 2026. Although this role is advertised on a full-time basis, UEA encourages applications from individuals who’d prefer a flexible working pattern including job-shares, part-time, term-time only and/ or mixed working.
What can you enjoy
·34 days’ annual leave inclusive of Bank Holidays and University Customary days.
·Family and work-life balance policies including considerable parental leave.
·Entrance to buildings, services and equipment of UEA, like the library, nursery, supermarket and open courses.
·Exclusive shopping discounts, Cycle to Work systems and public transport discounts.
·Unlimited access to business and career courses and training from our Organisational Development and Professional Learning Team.

B
Last September, I visited a protected wetland near my home. Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds.
I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night.
I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners.
Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space.
Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present.
I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house.
People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious.
Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait.
4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding.
C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools.
5. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3
A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding.
C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools.
6. What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5
A. extremely afraid of. B. Strongly opposed to.
C easily contented with. D. completely unaffected by.
7 What is the author’s main message
A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience.
C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge.
C
Britain’s housing crisis has created a distinct generational divide. While older generations often own property, millions of young adults face increasing rents and unachievable homeownership. A recent official report warns that 630, 000 people under 35 may face homelessness in old age due to chronic shortages of affordable homes.
This crisis originates from decades of policy failure. Since the mid-1990s, house prices have skyrocketed dramatically, widening the gap between property owners and others. Government projects like “Help-to-Buy” intended to assist first-time buyers instead inflated prices further, making housing less accessible. University graduates carry heavy debts from tuition fees exceeding 9, 000 annually since 2010, weakening their savings potential.
The rental market offers little relief. Private renters have jumped from 2. 8 million to 4. 5 million households since 2007, with those aged 25-34 consisting of over a third. Yet renters face instability and exploitation. “No-fault drivings” allow landlords (房东) to end rentings without cause, while rents exceed wage growth. Even social housing renters experience widening inequality compared to homeowners.
Policy responses are emerging but controversial. London Mayor Sadiq Khan proposed a landlord registry and rent control commission to regulate the private sector. Scotland has established “rent pressure zones” to stop increases. The Labour Party advocates abolishing no-fault drivings, arguing that secure right of habitation are essential for dignity.
Ultimately, this is about intergenerational fairness. A functional society cannot thrive when younger citizens bear unreasonable burdens. As one analyst notes: “We depend on the young to sustain our future — denying them housing security damages everyone.”
8. What does the official report predict about young adults
A. Universal elderly poverty. B. Persistent renting difficulties.
C. Long-term housing insecurity. D. Unachievable huge property.
9. What brings about the housing crisis
A. Stable rental market. B. Students’ reduced debt burden.
C. Decades-long policy failure. D. Consistent policy responses.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Young adults’ housing security should be guaranteed.
B. Efforts should be made to create a sustainable society.
C. The property of older generations should be passed on.
D. The young should be responsible for intergenerational fairness.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Housing: Pricing out the Young
B. Policy: Regulating the Private Owners
C. Landlords: Forced to Accept Rent Hikes
D. Rental Control: Solving the Renter-landlord Conflicts
D
The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below.
The primary advantage of the technology is that no trees need to be cleared for solar farms. As an added bonus, the water cools the panels, increasing their efficiency. Research shows that floatovoltaics on just a small share of global lakes and reservoirs could meet nearly a third of the US’s annual electricity demand.
As floatovoltaic systems expand with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better siting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.”
Most floatovoltaics are placed on reservoirs. When paired with the existing water power plants, the panels can generate additional daytime power. This combination can make up for seasonal drops in water or sunlight, ensuring a more stable yearly output.
Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with. Would this bring risks or benefits “Our customers have seen migrating (迁徙的) birds feeding and resting on the floats,” reports Chris Bachman of a leading floatovoltaics company.
Ecological considerations get trickier where there are unforeseen knock-on effects. Experiments show that shading from panels can slow the growth of algae that fish eat and also reduce harmful algae, affecting the food chain. Floats can hide fish from birds that hunt them but may also serve as safe habitats for these birds. “We need to monitor for long periods to understand the big picture,” says freshwater ecologist Simpson Cardoso.
Scientists and companies are discussing wider spacing between panels and avoiding construction during waterbirds’ sensitive periods, such as migration and nesting. “There can definitely be that kind of ecological balance,” says Stephens.
12. How does the author introduce floatovoltaics
A. By giving a technical definition. B. By explaining how they work.
C. By relating them to a married couple. D. By describing a popular movie scene.
13. What is scientists’ major concern about floatovoltaics
A. Their influence on ecosystems and biodiversity. B. Their seasonal changes in power output.
C. Their high cost of construction and maintenance. D. Their competition against traditional solar farms.
14. Why does the author quote Chris Bachman in paragraph 5
A. To provide evidence of customer satisfaction. B. To show a potential benefit of floatovoltaics.
C. To note the complexity of ecological interactions. D. To draw attention to protecting migrating birds.
15. What are scientists focusing on
A. Conducting the application of wider panels. B. Developing smarter designs and practices.
C. Proving the existence of ecological balance. D. Avoiding constructions on waterbird habitats.

47. 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。
It was the first week of Lily’s middle school. The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her.
Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed.
“Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story.
“OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time.

Looking forward to your reply.

【答案】One possible version：
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. Lily was nervous with her head down. After other students finished reading the papers one by one, finally, it was Lily’s turn. Frozen with fear, Lily stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking. Seeing it, Mr. Johnson told a funny joke, which made all laugh. Feeling more relaxed, Lily began reading. She was so focused that she felt she was alone. She didn’t notice that her story soon attracted all her classmates who sat up straight, without any chatting. They were lost in her fantastic story.
After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. Lily was shocked. When she raised her head, she found everyone staring at her excitedly. Lily finally smiled. She found everyone in the class responded to her story positively. After that class, Lily slowly lifted her head while walking. Later, she kept writing. And she began speaking in front of people and enjoyed it. A braver and more confident girl appeared. And she was grateful to Mr. Johnson who believed in every student.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Content Marketing Assistant to join the Admissions, Recruitment and Marketing Division in the University of East Anglia (UEA). The Content Marketing Assistant is responsible for delivery of the processes relating to the creation of visual editorial content.
You’ll deliver “business as usual” activity that is received from multiple investors and help with visual content production relationships. You’ll also take charge of the completion of regular day-to-day tasks relating to brand governance administration — that’s necessary for the operational running of UEA’s content strategy.

B
Last September, I visited a protected wetland near my home. Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds.
I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night.
I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners.
Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space.
Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present.
I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house.
People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious.
Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait.
4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding.
C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools.
5. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3
A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding.
C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools.
6. What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5
A. extremely afraid of. B. Strongly opposed to.
C easily contented with. D. completely unaffected by.
7 What is the author’s main message
A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience.
C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge.
C
Britain’s housing crisis has created a distinct generational divide. While older generations often own property, millions of young adults face increasing rents and unachievable homeownership. A recent official report warns that 630, 000 people under 35 may face homelessness in old age due to chronic shortages of affordable homes.
This crisis originates from decades of policy failure. Since the mid-1990s, house prices have skyrocketed dramatically, widening the gap between property owners and others. Government projects like “Help-to-Buy” intended to assist first-time buyers instead inflated prices further, making housing less accessible. University graduates carry heavy debts from tuition fees exceeding 9, 000 annually since 2010, weakening their savings potential.
The rental market offers little relief. Private renters have jumped from 2. 8 million to 4. 5 million households since 2007, with those aged 25-34 consisting of over a third. Yet renters face instability and exploitation. “No-fault drivings” allow landlords (房东) to end rentings without cause, while rents exceed wage growth. Even social housing renters experience widening inequality compared to homeowners.
Policy responses are emerging but controversial. London Mayor Sadiq Khan proposed a landlord registry and rent control commission to regulate the private sector. Scotland has established “rent pressure zones” to stop increases. The Labour Party advocates abolishing no-fault drivings, arguing that secure right of habitation are essential for dignity.
Ultimately, this is about intergenerational fairness. A functional society cannot thrive when younger citizens bear unreasonable burdens. As one analyst notes: “We depend on the young to sustain our future — denying them housing security damages everyone.”
8. What does the official report predict about young adults
A. Universal elderly poverty. B. Persistent renting difficulties.
C. Long-term housing insecurity. D. Unachievable huge property.
9. What brings about the housing crisis
A. Stable rental market. B. Students’ reduced debt burden.
C. Decades-long policy failure. D. Consistent policy responses.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Young adults’ housing security should be guaranteed.
B. Efforts should be made to create a sustainable society.
C. The property of older generations should be passed on.
D. The young should be responsible for intergenerational fairness.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Housing: Pricing out the Young
B. Policy: Regulating the Private Owners
C. Landlords: Forced to Accept Rent Hikes
D. Rental Control: Solving the Renter-landlord Conflicts
D
The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below.
The primary advantage of the technology is that no trees need to be cleared for solar farms. As an added bonus, the water cools the panels, increasing their efficiency. Research shows that floatovoltaics on just a small share of global lakes and reservoirs could meet nearly a third of the US’s annual electricity demand.
As floatovoltaic systems expand with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better siting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.”
Most floatovoltaics are placed on reservoirs. When paired with the existing water power plants, the panels can generate additional daytime power. This combination can make up for seasonal drops in water or sunlight, ensuring a more stable yearly output.
Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with. Would this bring risks or benefits “Our customers have seen migrating (迁徙的) birds feeding and resting on the floats,” reports Chris Bachman of a leading floatovoltaics company.
Ecological considerations get trickier where there are unforeseen knock-on effects. Experiments show that shading from panels can slow the growth of algae that fish eat and also reduce harmful algae, affecting the food chain. Floats can hide fish from birds that hunt them but may also serve as safe habitats for these birds. “We need to monitor for long periods to understand the big picture,” says freshwater ecologist Simpson Cardoso.
Scientists and companies are discussing wider spacing between panels and avoiding construction during waterbirds’ sensitive periods, such as migration and nesting. “There can definitely be that kind of ecological balance,” says Stephens.
12. How does the author introduce floatovoltaics
A. By giving a technical definition. B. By explaining how they work.
C. By relating them to a married couple. D. By describing a popular movie scene.
13. What is scientists’ major concern about floatovoltaics
A. Their influence on ecosystems and biodiversity. B. Their seasonal changes in power output.
C. Their high cost of construction and maintenance. D. Their competition against traditional solar farms.
14. Why does the author quote Chris Bachman in paragraph 5
A. To provide evidence of customer satisfaction. B. To show a potential benefit of floatovoltaics.
C. To note the complexity of ecological interactions. D. To draw attention to protecting migrating birds.
15. What are scientists focusing on
A. Conducting the application of wider panels. B. Developing smarter designs and practices.
C. Proving the existence of ecological balance. D. Avoiding constructions on waterbird habitats.

47. 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。
It was the first week of Lily’s middle school. The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her.
Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed.
“Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story.
“OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time.

【答案】One possible version：
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. Lily was nervous with her head down. After other students finished reading the papers one by one, finally, it was Lily’s turn. Frozen with fear, Lily stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking. Seeing it, Mr. Johnson told a funny joke, which made all laugh. Feeling more relaxed, Lily began reading. She was so focused that she felt she was alone. She didn’t notice that her story soon attracted all her classmates who sat up straight, without any chatting. They were lost in her fantastic story.
After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. Lily was shocked. When she raised her head, she found everyone staring at her excitedly. Lily finally smiled. She found everyone in the class responded to her story positively. After that class, Lily slowly lifted her head while walking. Later, she kept writing. And she began speaking in front of people and enjoyed it. A braver and more confident girl appeared. And she was grateful to Mr. Johnson who believed in every student.
