My undergraduate student needed advice after yet another failed experiment. Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.” But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently.
I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph.D. but didn’t get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her
It wasn’t until the final year of my Ph.D. that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop. Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles.
After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they’re doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I’ve learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. I wish I’d attended that workshop earlier, but I’m grateful I did at all.
24. What primarily caused the student’s withdrawal according to paragraph 1
A. Unaddressed inner struggles. B. Heavy academic workload.
C. Repetitive failures in research. D. Demanding research challenges.
25. Why did the author mention the transformation of another student
A. To illustrate his lack of proper guidance. B. To showcase his pride in her achievement.
C. To explain his own research breakthrough. D. To highlight the contrast in mentoring outcomes.
26. What did the workshop mainly focus on
A. Developing academic research skills.
B. Exploring the interpersonal aspects of mentoring.
C. Encouraging discussions among graduate students.
D. Demonstrating diverse personal mentoring approaches.
27. Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Strict and intelligent. B. Responsible and reflective.
C. Thoughtful but self-doubting. D. Disciplined but inexperienced.
C
After eight years of planning, a cost of more than 500 m kronor ( 39 m) and an early morning blessing, Kiruna Kyrka began a slow 5 km journey on Tuesday to make way for the expansion of Europe’s biggest underground mine. The 672-tonne wooden Swedish Lutheran church, dating from 1912, is to be slowly rolled to its new home over two days, at a pace of half-a-kilometre an hour. The move is part of a huge multi-decade operation to relocate the whole Arctic town as the state-owned LKAB iron mine weakens the ground, threatening to swallow the town.
Designed by Gustaf Wickman, the church is one of Sweden’s most-loved older buildings. More than 10,000 people, including the Swedish king, Carl XVI Gustaf, are expected to line the streets to see the move of the red wooden building.
The expansion has attracted criticism, including from the Sámi community, who fear that the division of the land would make reindeer herding hard, threatening the local biodiversity. Karin K Niia, a reindeer owner, warned the move was “a big show” to distract from the destruction mining causes to the town and its native culture. She accused the company of “land-grabbing” the grassland territory needed to support Sámi culture. Fredriksson, who hosted a podcast on local Kiruna news, was happy, at least, that the church had been saved, and hadn’t ended up “as woodchips like the rest of Kiruna.”
LKAB said the move was necessary for the church to continue to exist and stressed it sought “constructive solutions” when mining affected reindeer herding; the company’s chief executive, Jan Mostr m, said the relocation work had cost more than half a billion kronor and that if the mine is to remain, the city center must move.
The church is expected to reopen at its new location at the end of next year, but the city’s relocation is not scheduled to finish until 2035.
28. What do we know about the Kiruna Kyrka church
A. Its relocation lasts over eight years. B. It travels across the entire Arctic town.
C. It is to be moved as a whole to a new place. D. It was constructed in 1912 by Gustaf Wickman.
29. What does the underlined phrase “a big show” suggest about the move
A. It’s a technical demonstration. B. It’s a misleading public display.
C. It’s a huge advance towards biodiversity. D. It’s an enormous threat to Sámi community.
30. What can be inferred about LKAB’s statement
A. It viewed the move as unavoidable. B. It denied affecting reindeer herding.
C. It focused more on cultural heritage. D. It regretted the project’s high expense.
31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Mine expansion impacts Sámi culture B. LKAB forces an Arctic Town to relocate
C. Locals save Sweden’s most-loved church D. A historic church moves for mine expansion
D
When babies try to make sense of what they have seen, their brain activity seems to tick at a slower rhythm than it does in adults, which may help them learn new concepts.
Our brain processes sensory stimuli using networks of neurons (神经元). A neuron can transmit the signal it receives to more neurons, producing synchronized (同步的) waves of electrical activity. Such brainwaves occur at various frequencies. For instance, previous studies show that the adult visual cortex (大脑皮层) displays a wide range of frequencies when people see things, but more neurons seem to synchronize with waves at 10 hertz, or cycles per second.
To learn whether the same applies to babies, Moritz K ster at the University of Regensburg and his team recruited 42 babies aged 8 months old, via their parents. The team recorded the babies’ brain activity using electrodes while watching dozens of cartoon monsters flash on a screen for 2 seconds each, over 15 minutes. The researchers made use of the fact that brainwaves tend to beat in time with rapidly flashing images, providing a way to test how many neurons synchronize with various frequencies in visual parts of the babies’ brain. Specifically, they flashed each monster on and off at eight frequencies, ranging from 2 to 30 hertz.
By analyzing the recordings, they found that the visual cortex produced waves of synchronized activity in time with the flashing cartoons. But the brainwaves were the strongest at 4 hertz, which suggests more neurons synchronized with this flashing frequency than with others. The researchers also found that 4-hertz brainwaves in the visual cortex seemed to spread to neural circuits in other brain regions involved in concept formation.
Repeating the experiment in seven adults, the team confirmed prior findings that their visual brain circuits are most strongly activated by a 10-hertz frequency. Adults have experienced many things, so the visual part of their brains seems to be tuned to tick at a higher frequency, which studies suggest may help them to block out unimportant information, says K ster.
Further studies are needed to establish whether exposure to images flashing at 4 hertz could enhance babies’ ability to learn new concepts, says Emily Jones at Birkbeck, University of London.
32. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Previous studies on visual cortex. B. The formation of neuron networks.
C. The mechanism of brainwave production. D. The frequency range of brainwaves.
33. Why did the researchers use flashing cartoons in the study
A. To transmit neural signals. B. To compare visual preferences.
C. To measure neural synchronization. D. To maintain babies’ engagement.
34. What can we know about babies, according to the study
A. Their brains prefer a higher frequency.
B. Their brains exclude irrelevant information.
C. Their brainwave patterns are identical to those of adults.
D. Their learning ability may be enhanced by specific frequencies.
35. What can be the potential application of the study
A. Building frequency-based attention assessment tools.
B. Designing cartoon materials for concept development.
C. Improving information screening in busy environments.
D. Developing rhythm-based learning aids for early education.

Arizona felt a knot of anxiety in her stomach as Halloween approached. Her friend Keenan was throwing a costume party, and while everyone in her class was excitedly discussing their well-crafted outfits, she remained utterly uninspired. The pressure to create something unique was overwhelming, and each passing day only deepened her despair.
The next couple of days, Arizona spent every spare minute trying to come up with the perfect costume idea. One afternoon, as she sat by her window in despair, she looked out of the window and caught sight of a small yellow bird land on the branch outside. Its cheerful song seemed to cut right through her worries. In that moment, her despair vanished, replaced by a clear vision. She immediately called her best friend, Mareya, and announced, “I know what I’m going to be — a beautiful yellow bird!” Mareya, who had decided on a tiger costume, was delighted to see her friend’s enthusiasm return.
Fueled by newfound excitement, Arizona devoted herself to the project. She found a piece of sparkling gold fabric for wings and a plain eye mask as a base. For hours, she worked with intense focus, carefully gluing soft yellow feathers and tiny, sparkling beads onto the mask. Each detail brought her creation to life, and she couldn’t help but smile with pride. The mask became more than a costume; it was a source of pride and the key to her confidence for the party.
On the day of the party, Arizona packed her finished wings and painstakingly crafted mask into a bag with great caution. She met Mareya after class, and together they headed to Keenan’s house, their excitement growing with every step. They rushed straight to the bathroom to put on the costumes. “Now for the finishing touch,” Mareya said, taking out her face-paint kit to paint tiger whiskers (胡须) on her cheeks.
1. 续写词数应150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That was when Arizona discovered her mask was missing.

M: Tickets for your latest tour are selling for 200 each, yet for tomorrow’s show you’re giving away half of the seats for nothing. Does that make any financial sense
W: Financial sense Probably not. I care about my fans and not all of them can afford 200, so I’m trying to give something back to the people who have put me where I am today.
M: We got the news that you’re going to be singing with Barry Z. Can you confirm that
W: Well, since we got married last year, Barry and I have tried to keep our careers separate. But who knows Maybe there will be some surprises on this tour. I like to keep people guessing.
M: Just one final question. Your former record company has just released one of your early recordings, “Bird Song”. What are your views on that
W: They should never have done that. It wasn’t properly recorded and it just isn’t up to the standard people expect of me today.
M: OK, Mrs. Carter. Thank you for your time.

【原文】I’d like to share a few tips with you on how to learn English based on my own experience. When I was at school, I listened to BBC News and many other British radio shows. Sometimes I listened to what the presenters were saying to learn vocabulary or identify the grammatical structure. I also listened to a lot of English songs. I watched English movies and videos online. I explored British and American contents to see how different the accents were. I know some people go abroad without knowing a single word of a foreign language. However, I think it’s important to attend at least a few classes to learn the most basic grammar rules of the language. The better you speak a foreign language, the more opportunities you’ll have to go to a good university or get a better job. There are also so many studies showing that learning a second language is good for your brain. Read newspapers, books, articles on websites and take notes of the vocabulary you don’t understand. Read and observe the structure of each sentence and paragraph. Read out loud to know where to breathe and where to stop. Finally, speak English out! If you’re abroad, don’t just stick with your community. Meet English speakers and make an effort to talk to them. Most native speakers will be happy to help you.

My undergraduate student needed advice after yet another failed experiment. Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.” But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently.
I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph.D. but didn’t get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her
It wasn’t until the final year of my Ph.D. that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop. Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles.
After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they’re doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I’ve learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. I wish I’d attended that workshop earlier, but I’m grateful I did at all.
24. What primarily caused the student’s withdrawal according to paragraph 1
A. Unaddressed inner struggles. B. Heavy academic workload.
C. Repetitive failures in research. D. Demanding research challenges.
25. Why did the author mention the transformation of another student
A. To illustrate his lack of proper guidance. B. To showcase his pride in her achievement.
C. To explain his own research breakthrough. D. To highlight the contrast in mentoring outcomes.
26. What did the workshop mainly focus on
A. Developing academic research skills.
B. Exploring the interpersonal aspects of mentoring.
C. Encouraging discussions among graduate students.
D. Demonstrating diverse personal mentoring approaches.
27. Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Strict and intelligent. B. Responsible and reflective.
C. Thoughtful but self-doubting. D. Disciplined but inexperienced.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. B
C
After eight years of planning, a cost of more than 500 m kronor ( 39 m) and an early morning blessing, Kiruna Kyrka began a slow 5 km journey on Tuesday to make way for the expansion of Europe’s biggest underground mine. The 672-tonne wooden Swedish Lutheran church, dating from 1912, is to be slowly rolled to its new home over two days, at a pace of half-a-kilometre an hour. The move is part of a huge multi-decade operation to relocate the whole Arctic town as the state-owned LKAB iron mine weakens the ground, threatening to swallow the town.
Designed by Gustaf Wickman, the church is one of Sweden’s most-loved older buildings. More than 10,000 people, including the Swedish king, Carl XVI Gustaf, are expected to line the streets to see the move of the red wooden building.
The expansion has attracted criticism, including from the Sámi community, who fear that the division of the land would make reindeer herding hard, threatening the local biodiversity. Karin K Niia, a reindeer owner, warned the move was “a big show” to distract from the destruction mining causes to the town and its native culture. She accused the company of “land-grabbing” the grassland territory needed to support Sámi culture. Fredriksson, who hosted a podcast on local Kiruna news, was happy, at least, that the church had been saved, and hadn’t ended up “as woodchips like the rest of Kiruna.”
LKAB said the move was necessary for the church to continue to exist and stressed it sought “constructive solutions” when mining affected reindeer herding; the company’s chief executive, Jan Mostr m, said the relocation work had cost more than half a billion kronor and that if the mine is to remain, the city center must move.
The church is expected to reopen at its new location at the end of next year, but the city’s relocation is not scheduled to finish until 2035.
28. What do we know about the Kiruna Kyrka church
A. Its relocation lasts over eight years. B. It travels across the entire Arctic town.
C. It is to be moved as a whole to a new place. D. It was constructed in 1912 by Gustaf Wickman.
29. What does the underlined phrase “a big show” suggest about the move
A. It’s a technical demonstration. B. It’s a misleading public display.
C. It’s a huge advance towards biodiversity. D. It’s an enormous threat to Sámi community.
30. What can be inferred about LKAB’s statement
A. It viewed the move as unavoidable. B. It denied affecting reindeer herding.
C. It focused more on cultural heritage. D. It regretted the project’s high expense.
31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Mine expansion impacts Sámi culture B. LKAB forces an Arctic Town to relocate
C. Locals save Sweden’s most-loved church D. A historic church moves for mine expansion
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D
D
When babies try to make sense of what they have seen, their brain activity seems to tick at a slower rhythm than it does in adults, which may help them learn new concepts.
Our brain processes sensory stimuli using networks of neurons (神经元). A neuron can transmit the signal it receives to more neurons, producing synchronized (同步的) waves of electrical activity. Such brainwaves occur at various frequencies. For instance, previous studies show that the adult visual cortex (大脑皮层) displays a wide range of frequencies when people see things, but more neurons seem to synchronize with waves at 10 hertz, or cycles per second.
To learn whether the same applies to babies, Moritz K ster at the University of Regensburg and his team recruited 42 babies aged 8 months old, via their parents. The team recorded the babies’ brain activity using electrodes while watching dozens of cartoon monsters flash on a screen for 2 seconds each, over 15 minutes. The researchers made use of the fact that brainwaves tend to beat in time with rapidly flashing images, providing a way to test how many neurons synchronize with various frequencies in visual parts of the babies’ brain. Specifically, they flashed each monster on and off at eight frequencies, ranging from 2 to 30 hertz.
By analyzing the recordings, they found that the visual cortex produced waves of synchronized activity in time with the flashing cartoons. But the brainwaves were the strongest at 4 hertz, which suggests more neurons synchronized with this flashing frequency than with others. The researchers also found that 4-hertz brainwaves in the visual cortex seemed to spread to neural circuits in other brain regions involved in concept formation.
Repeating the experiment in seven adults, the team confirmed prior findings that their visual brain circuits are most strongly activated by a 10-hertz frequency. Adults have experienced many things, so the visual part of their brains seems to be tuned to tick at a higher frequency, which studies suggest may help them to block out unimportant information, says K ster.
Further studies are needed to establish whether exposure to images flashing at 4 hertz could enhance babies’ ability to learn new concepts, says Emily Jones at Birkbeck, University of London.
32. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Previous studies on visual cortex. B. The formation of neuron networks.
C. The mechanism of brainwave production. D. The frequency range of brainwaves.
33. Why did the researchers use flashing cartoons in the study
A. To transmit neural signals. B. To compare visual preferences.
C. To measure neural synchronization. D. To maintain babies’ engagement.
34. What can we know about babies, according to the study
A. Their brains prefer a higher frequency.
B. Their brains exclude irrelevant information.
C. Their brainwave patterns are identical to those of adults.
D. Their learning ability may be enhanced by specific frequencies.
35. What can be the potential application of the study
A. Building frequency-based attention assessment tools.
B. Designing cartoon materials for concept development.
C. Improving information screening in busy environments.
D. Developing rhythm-based learning aids for early education.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. D

Arizona felt a knot of anxiety in her stomach as Halloween approached. Her friend Keenan was throwing a costume party, and while everyone in her class was excitedly discussing their well-crafted outfits, she remained utterly uninspired. The pressure to create something unique was overwhelming, and each passing day only deepened her despair.
The next couple of days, Arizona spent every spare minute trying to come up with the perfect costume idea. One afternoon, as she sat by her window in despair, she looked out of the window and caught sight of a small yellow bird land on the branch outside. Its cheerful song seemed to cut right through her worries. In that moment, her despair vanished, replaced by a clear vision. She immediately called her best friend, Mareya, and announced, “I know what I’m going to be — a beautiful yellow bird!” Mareya, who had decided on a tiger costume, was delighted to see her friend’s enthusiasm return.
Fueled by newfound excitement, Arizona devoted herself to the project. She found a piece of sparkling gold fabric for wings and a plain eye mask as a base. For hours, she worked with intense focus, carefully gluing soft yellow feathers and tiny, sparkling beads onto the mask. Each detail brought her creation to life, and she couldn’t help but smile with pride. The mask became more than a costume; it was a source of pride and the key to her confidence for the party.
On the day of the party, Arizona packed her finished wings and painstakingly crafted mask into a bag with great caution. She met Mareya after class, and together they headed to Keenan’s house, their excitement growing with every step. They rushed straight to the bathroom to put on the costumes. “Now for the finishing touch,” Mareya said, taking out her face-paint kit to paint tiger whiskers (胡须) on her cheeks.

【答案】范文
That’s when Arizona discovered her mask was missing. Panic surged through her as she searched desperately through her bag, only to find the sparkling wings staring back at her from a pile of contents. The well-crafted mask was undeniably gone. The familiar knot of anxiety tightened in her stomach again, and hot tears welled up in her eyes. All her hard work, the hours of gluing feathers and beads, the newfound confidence — all seemed to vanish in an instant. “I have to go home,” she declared to Mareya, her voice thick with defeat, convinced that a flawed costume would ruin the entire experience and make her a subject of pity.
Mareya begged her not to leave, assuring her that she had a way to help. “Just give me a few minutes,” she pointed at her face-paint kit, “and you’ll be the most beautiful bird around!” Arizona hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. With incredible skills, Mareya crafted a magnificent bird mask directly on Arizona’s skin. Arizona’s worry slowly faded as she looked in the mirror and saw a brand-new bird looking back. Together, they walked into the party, and the cheers from their classmates made Arizona realize that the true magic of Halloween lies not in flawless costumes, but in the joy of shared experiences and the creativity that emerges when things don’t go as planned.
