“Thank you for applying for the position,” the email read. “Your application has not been successful. We wish you every success in securing a suitable position in the future.” I received the email 2 weeks after an interview.
When I read it, I felt disappointed and angry. I’d spent hours preparing for the interview and in the end, I didn’t even know why I wasn’t successful! “How can I adapt my job search approach if I don’t know what went wrong ”
The value of that kind of feedback (反馈) became obvious to me a few months later. After applying for a job at a consulting company, I spent months working my way through the interview process before getting a phone call. “Unfortunately, we decided to offer the job to someone else,” the voice said. Again, the feeling I got from that rejection email appeared. But the conversation wasn’t over. “Would you like to hear feedback from us ” the company representative asked.
The representative went on to tell me I hadn’t clearly shown my motivation for applying for the position and why I wanted to work for the company. The feedback was tough to hear. But I quickly realized they were right. After completing my Ph. D. in Germany, my top priority had been to find a position in Poland. So I wasn’t very selective about what I had applied for. The job at the consulting company was something I could do, but I didn’t feel passionate about it—and that was clearly shown in the interview process.
From then on, I only pursued the jobs that I was passionate about. In my applications, I also began stating more clearly why I wanted that job. Soon the approach paid off. I got an offer for a postdoc position in Poland that I was truly excited about.
Now, when early-career scientists interview for positions in my lab, I keep that experience in mind. If they don’t get the position, I will tell them why and what they can do to improve their job applications going forward.
24. What did the author expect to read in the rejection email
A. Reasons for failure. B. Useful guidelines.
C. Encouraging words. D. Sincere apologies.
25. How did the author feel when receiving the call at first
A. Embarrassed. B. Discouraged. C. Nervous. D. Guilty.
26. What made the author lose a second chance to land a job
A. His inexperience in consulting. B. An overstatement of his capability.
C. His lack of passion for the position. D. His bad performance in the interview.
27. Which words can best describe the author as a postdoc
A. Devoted and ambitious. B. Knowledgeable and modest.
C. Courageous and warm-hearted. D. Responsible and thoughtful.
C
English is increasingly used as a global language of instruction in higher education, known as English Medium Instruction or EMI. The aim is that a student taking a course in English should learn just as well as a student studying in their first language. But a new study involving 2,263 Swedish students now casts doubt on this assumption.
When these students registered for an introductory course in programming, they were randomly divided into two groups, either an English or a Swedish version of the course. The course was entirely digital and self-paced. Students’ performance was measured based on the number of correctly answered test questions and on how many left the course without completing it. When the researchers compared the number of questions answered correctly, they found that those studying in Swedish gave the correct answers to 73 percent more questions in the test.
“It’s important to remember that the only difference here is the language of instruction. The fact that the students on the Swedish-language course performed significantly better indicates that the use of English as the language of instruction can have a negative impact on learning under certain circumstances,” says Olle B lter, one of the researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
When the researchers measured the student completion rate on the course, the results were confirmed; 25 percent more students dropped out of the English-language course.
The study now raises issues about the advantages and disadvantages of having such a large proportion (比例) of teaching at universities and higher education institutions in English, something that is common in Sweden as well as in other countries where English is not the first language for the majority of the population.
“It’s important to remember that a single study shouldn’t be used as the basis for a reform of the language or teaching policy in higher education. However, we believe the results from this research can contribute to a more informed discussion about the consequences of using English as the language of instruction,” says B lter.
28. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2
A. How the study is conducted. B. What courses the students choose.
C. What information is needed. D. How the students are grouped.
29. What aspect is different between the courses taken by the two groups of students
A. The questions for students. B. The content difficulty.
C. The teaching language. D. The class size.
30. What is the result of using EMI in higher education
A. It reduces the dropout rate. B. It changes the focus of teaching.
C. It leads to poorer learning outcomes. D. It helps improve the students’ English.
31. What is B lter’s attitude toward the result of the study
A. Indifferent. B. Positive C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
D
The animal kingdom is dotted with species that give birth to spotted young, from deer to birds and fish. Even species that we don’t typically associate with spots, such as lions, wear the pattern as babies, only to lose it later in life.
But what purpose do these spots serve, and why do only some species seem to have them Kiyoko Gotanda, a biologist at Brock University, said it is likely so common because spots are useful in keeping babies hidden from their enemies.
Spotted young tend to be more common in species that live in habitats with some three-dimensional structures, Gotanda noted, and less common in environments that are uniform or featureless. Indeed, baby seals born on pack ice are pure white, and develop spots only when they leave the ice for rocky beaches. But in habitats with some cover, spots function as the sunlight passing through leaves or tall grass, making an animal hard to be discovered in its background.
“It is not as overt a pattern as something like a stick insect that becomes something else entirely, which can be clearly identified. But spots do create these three-dimensional effects that help some species hide better,” said Gotanda.
In other rarer cases, spots actually help babies stand out. Young garibaldi—orange marine fish found along the coast of California and Mexico—have bright-blue spots that advertise their lowly status to highly territorial (有地盘意识的) males, As the fish grow and start to engage in the social order, their spots fade.
In fact, many species grow out of their spots, and the reasons aren’t entirely understood. According to Gotanda, patterning is typically considered more energetically costly to produce than a single, solid color. But spots don’t take a lot of energy to grow and maintain at least in the case of white spots. There must be other reasons to explain their loss, he said.
32. Where are spotted baby animals more likely to appear according to Paragraph 3
A. In the desert. B. On the ice. C. In the forest. D. In the lake
33. What does the underlined word “overt” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Obvious. B. Strange. C. Hidden. D. Complex.
34. Which statement might Gotanda agree with
A. Animals with spots on the body are more energetic.
B. Spotted animals often exist in uniform surroundings.
C. The growth of animal spots will consume lots of energy.
D. There are more to explore about the loss of animal spots.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. How Are Spots Protecting Baby Animals
B. Why Do So Many Baby Animals Have Spots
C. Where Can You Find Baby Animals with Spots
D. What Causes the Loss of Spots on Baby Animals

Many people feel anxious in situations that are stressful to them. For example, they may feel anxious about taking tests, meeting new people, or speaking in class. 36 But it’s best to learn how to cope. Here are several tips that can help you through anxious moments:
Start with a “growth” mindset. Some people have a fixed mindset. They might think, “This is how I am.” 37 They think they are the way they are. But brain science has shown that with a growth mindset, people can get better at just about everything—with effort and practice. That includes reducing anxiety.
38 When you’re anxious, you might tell yourself things like, “I can’t do this!” or “What if I mess this up ” Instead, plan to tell yourself something that could help you face the moment with a bit of courage like, “I can do this!” or “It’s OK to feel anxious. I can do this anyway.”
Notice how anxiety affects your body. When you’re anxious, do you feel “butterflies” in your stomach Sweaty palms Shaky hands A faster heartbeat These physical feelings can be uncomfortable but they aren’t harmful. You can cope. You don’t have to push the feelings away. 39
Face the situation—don’t wait for anxiety to go away. You might think that you’ll put off speaking in class or talking to that new person until you no longer feel anxious about it. But it doesn’t work that way. 40
Learning to cope with anxiety takes time, patience, and practice. Most of all it takes being willing to face anxiety. Start with one small step. The more you practice, the better you’ll get at lowering anxiety.
A. Talk yourself through it.
B. Tell a parent or another adult you trust.
C. It’s facing the anxiety that helps you lower it.
D. Try to pay attention to anxious thoughts and feelings.
E. Try to notice them without getting upset that they’re there.
F. With a fixed mindset, people don’t think things can change.
G. If you feel anxious in situations like these, you’re not alone.

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。
Peter was a Russian Borzoi (a kind of dog). He weighed close to eighty-five pounds and had the long nose and narrow head of the Borzoi. So narrow was it that it didn’t seem to have much room for brains. In Peter’s case, it didn’t. He was what might be termed “dim (迟钝的)”, and he became easily confused, but he had gentle nature.
We loved him dearly. We attached identification tags to his collar in case he got lost. When he became confused, he would sit in one spot waiting for one of his humans to come to his rescue. And someone always did.
On the day in question, I had gathered up my dog family of one Old English Sheepdog, one Whippet rescue, one little wolf rescue, and Peter. They were all settled in my covered pickup truck bed, and I was headed out for our daily exercise, six miles into the country where there was no leash (拴狗绳) law and they could run free. They were all trained not to chase wild animals, to stay reasonably close, and to come when called.
After I had walked for about ten minutes, I noticed that one dog was missing. Peter, of course! It seemed obvious that he had stopped to investigate some irresistible smell, and then, becoming confused, had turned back the way we had just come. He would easily be able to follow our smell but in the wrong direction. And when a Borzoi runs, he covers a lot of ground in a very short time.
Feeling guilty, knowing I should have kept a closer watch on him, I walked back, calling and whistling, but there was no sign of him. It was winter and would soon be dark. In desperation, I started to pray, hoping someone might help Peter.
After about half an hour of intense searching and calling at the top of my voice, I finally decided the best thing to do was to drive the two other dogs and little wolf home, which would leave me free to come back and hunt for Peter.
I reached my house in record time just as it opened to reveal my husband standing there.
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。
“We’ve lost Peter,” I shouted breathlessly. My husband said, “No. It was this gentleman who sent Peter home.”
