Sitting in the garden for my friend's birthday, I felt a buzz in my pocket. My heart raced when I sawthe email sender's name. The email started off:“Dear Mr. Green, thank you for your interest” and“thereview process took longer than expected.” It ended with“We are sorry to inform you…” and my visionblurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the SaharaDesert as part of an undergraduateresearch program—had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.

I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the endof the road for my science career.

So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running theprogramme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weekslater I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projectsI could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn't seem as exciting as the original project I had appliedto, but I was going to give it my all.

I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desertremotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert,not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a newscientific interest to pursue.

When I applied to graduate school, I found three programs promising to allow me to follow my desiredresearch direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected fromone that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the otherprogrammes I was also excited about.

Rather than setting plans in stone, I've learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that areoffered, even if they don't sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.

24. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender's name?

A. Anxious.B. Angry.C. Surprised.D. Settled.

25. After talking with Professor Devon, what did the author decide to do?

A. Criticize the review process.

B. Stay longer in the Sahara Desert.

C. Apply to the original project again.

D. Put his heart and soul into the lab work.

26. What did the author think of the project with the robotics professor?

A. Demanding.B. Inspiring.C. Misleading.D. Pioneering.

27. What can we learn from this passage?

A. An invitation is a reputation.B. An innovation is a resolution.

C. A rejection can be a redirection.D. A reflection can be a restriction.

C

Some people think they are immune to advertisements. They might not have heard of the mereexposure effect—a psychological phenomenon where we tend to like things the more we are exposed tothem.

When we plot the mere exposure effect on a graph with preferences on one axis (轴) and repetitionson the other, we will see that it takes about 15 repeats for the effect to reach its full potential. If the exposureis too excessive, people get annoyed. And if they didn't like the thing initially, repeating it can make itworse.

There are two main explanations for the phenomenon. The first is certainty. Our minds naturally learnto be careful around new things that could potentially harm us. If we see something repeatedly without badconsequences, we are led to believe it is safe. The second is perceptual fluency. We are also hardwired toprefer simple things that take little mental load. Difficult tasks like figuring out something new take lots ofattention and time, which is why we try to avoid them.

Known for discovering the effect was psychologist Robert Zajonc, who tested how subjects respondedto specific symbols. A group of people were shown a series of random shapes which changed so quicklythat it was impossible to notice that some were repeated. When the subjects were asked which shapes theyfound most pleasing, they chose those to which they had been exposed the most often, even though theyhad no conscious awareness of that.

The results showed that changes in preferences caused by repeated exposures depend not on any priorsubjective and conscious evaluations of the stimulus but rather on results from the objective history ofexposures alone.

Now tell us what you think about ads. If mere exposure to them makes us like things we otherwisewouldn't, should billboards(广告牌) be banned from the public area?

28. Which of the following graphs best illustrates the mere exposure effect?

29. According to Zajonc's experiment, what drives changes in preferences?

A. Random variation.B. Objective analysis.

C. Subjective judgment.D. Subconscious familiarity.

30. Which promotional activity shows the application of the mere exposure effect?

A. A novelist organizes a book signing event.

B. A game studio develops a challenging mode.

C. A singer buys hot recommendations on a music app.

D. A fashion brand reintroduces certain classic designs.

31. Why does the author mention ads at the end of the text?

A. To criticize fake advertising.

B. To oppose outdoor advertising.

C. To point out the drawbacks of ads.

D. To caution against the influence of ads.

D

Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren't just sources for science fiction or far-outexperiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, andhydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in federalresearch. So then, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U. S. roads today?

“The answer is simple: economics,” Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiativetold Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated the fuel cell, which turns the chemicalenergy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, butthe falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fuelling infrastructure (基础设施) havepropelled battery-electric cars well into the lead.

A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development.The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fuelling stationlocations in the U. S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehiclecharging stations across the country.

“Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighterpathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles haveadvantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Besides, battery-electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range or fuelling time or heavy loads.

The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U. S. are not areason to“just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech.“We may need it for many other reasons in the future,”cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt access to raw materials forbatteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable.

32. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U. S. roads today?

A. Lack of public awareness.

B. Unavailability of hydrogen fuel.

C. Limited research and development.

D. High costs and insufficient infrastructure.

33. What is Sergey Paltsev's attitude towards hydrogen vehicles in the future?

A. Doubtful.B. Hopeful.C. Pessimistic.D. Indifferent.

34. What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passage?

A. It is already cost-effective for passenger vehicles.

B. It fails to solve the problems with range or fuelling time.

C· It is practicable due to potential issues resulting from geopolitics.

D. It has unsatisfactory applications in heavy-duty trucks and aviation.

35. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. Battery-Electric Vehicles: A Glorious Era

B. Why Are We Driving Electric Powered Cars?

C. Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising

D. How to Build a Public Hydrogen Fuelling Station?

It's a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision.36

When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings.37

Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities.38The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.

Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don't view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment(注册) or funding.39Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates.

40Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments.In the long term, universities,organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.

What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower.

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。

The familiar smell of garlic, soy sauce, and onion spread through the air as I opened my lunch bag tosee what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom'sbraised pan-fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl hadinvited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.

“Charis, over here!” My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.

As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunch timesresurfaced. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses, or stay away from mewhen I brought homemade Chinese food, tofu. I remembered how my embarrassment shifted to angerwhen I complained about the smell to my mom.

I had argued with my mom that I wanted“normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on mymom's face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in becauseshe worried about my making new friends every time we moved. So for the remainder of middle school,my mom packed odorless(无味的), non-Chinese fare like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day,she was in a rush to get to her new job and packed me leftovers from dinner.

As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my bright lunch bag under my seat beforeanyone noticed the strong smell. I looked up to see the other girls at the table, opening their normalAmerican lunches. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina,a new acquaintance, asked wheremy food was.

“I'm not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry mylunch so she said,“Then, I'll eat it!” The other girls laughed—apparently Katrina was known to be thelunch scavenger(清道夫).
