At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
24．What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”
A．It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B．She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C．She understood the intention but still disliked it. D．Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed.
25．The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______.
A．pick up a new hobby B．reconnect with her origin
C．gain insights into a new culture D．fit in with local community
26．From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______.
A．reflects the creator’s spirits B．comes from creative energy
C．highlights the design of strokes D．depends on continuous practice
27．What does the author intend to tell us
A．Appreciate what our culture offers. B．Find beauty from your inner self.
C．A great teacher leads you to truth. D．We are the sum of what we create.
C
Every year, tens of thousands of people around the world apply for research jobs armed with postgraduate qualifications and specialized knowledge, only for their carefully crafted applications to seemingly disappear into a digital blank. At the same time, recruiters (招聘者) report that they are unable to find appropriate candidates for open positions.
One key cause of this mismatch is the perception that someone with science qualifications is fully qualified for research work. The reality is that, often, a PhD or a first postdoctoral post is corresponding to an entry-level qualification, with the holder needing further advice, guidance, mentoring and experience before they can work independently.
Shifting generational priorities also play a part. For example, most current early-career scientists are millennials (千禧一代), born between the early 1980s and mid-1990s. They are often digitally skilled and bring with them strong cooperation nature and a desire to see their work have societal impact. They also tend to value work-life balance and career flexibility , which might not always agree with the priorities of the scientists interviewing them for jobs.
Meanwhile, employers report that candidates often lack creative thinking, problem-solving and communication skills and qualities such as persistence, passion and determination.
Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach. Universities and other research training institutions can do more to expand the focus of PhD training beyond the academic track. This means providing advice and guidance about what career paths and job opportunities might be available for researchers in companies, the public sector and non-governmental organizations. Employers need to consider the benefits of structured training for early-career researchers, as a way to boost critical thinking and analytical skills. This could be done by reproducing the training schemes commonly used by large technology, consulting, finance and legal firms.
The path forward requires jobseekers and recruiters to understand each other better. Candidates would benefit from learning why recruiters are dissatisfied with the competence of applicants. Institutions, for their part, must see themselves as architects of scientific careers. This means acknowledging that professional preparation isn’t a distraction from research excellence — it is an essential component of it.
28．Why do postgraduates fail to find satisfying jobs
A．Inadequate academic preparation.
B．Limited job information sources.
C．Absence of proper job-seeking skills.
D．Misjudgment of qualification suitability.
29．Which priority of millennials affect their job seeking
A．High cooperation ability. B．Emphasis on digital tech use.
C．Pursuit of work-life balance. D．Freedom for mind and body.
30．What training should be given to PhD researchers
A．Career-related advice. B．General skill building.
C．Financial management tips. D．Academic-focused guidance.
31．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．Role of institutions in research. B．Importance of skill development.
C．Discontent of recruiters with applicants. D．Significance of understanding each other.
D
Whether in busy cities or small towns, people from all walks of life enjoy a cup of coffee as part of their daily routine. The thought of a steaming cup of coffee helps to pull many people worldwide out of bed in the morning. Scientists have consistently linked this ubiquitous drink to lowered risks for illnesses such as heart disease, colon cancer and type 2 diabetes. But its effects on the gut microbiome (肠道菌群) are largely unknown.
Researchers from Harvard University examined samples from over 20, 000 participants who tracked their daily coffee intake. They discovered that regular coffee consumption has a connection to the growth of a specific gut bacterium (细菌) . “We don’t know much about this bug, but we can place it as likely a good one, ” said Peter Belenky, a microbiologist at Brown University, who was not involved in the study.
In the largest-ever study, coffee intake was found to increase the number of certain types of bacteria in the gut, but the connection with Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus (溶糖劳森乳杆菌) was the strongest. When coffee was added to lab dishes containing this bacterium, it grew faster. “It’s rare to find such a strong and clear link, ” said Mingyang Song, a co-senior author of the study from Harvard University.
To understand the role of this bacterium in the gut, the researchers looked at substances in the blood of hundreds of participants. They found that higher levels of quinic acid, which can help reduce inflammation (炎症) , were strongly related to the growth of L. asaccharolyticus. The same was true for hippurate, a substance that shows a more diverse gut microbiome and better gut health.
Based on these results, the scientists are now trying to connect these bacteria and related substances to overall health. Song explained, “This could help us understand if the bacteria are really behind the health benefits of coffee. ”
Analyzing large datasets from many people is a good way to explore the links between what we eat and drink and the bacteria in our gut. Belenky said, “This study might pave the way for a new approach to food research. ”
32．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” probably mean
A．Popular. B．Expensive. C．Dangerous. D．Unique.
33．What did Harvard researchers find in their study
A．Which coffee impacts the gut microbiome.
B．Drinking coffee contains some gut bacteria.
C．Coffee consumption reduces heart disease risk.
D．Coffee intake is linked to a certain gut bacterium.
34．Why did the researchers analyze the blood samples
A．To identify other new types of bacteria. B．To prove that coffee reduces inflammation.
C．To know how the bacterium works in the gut. D．To develop treatments for gut-related diseases.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．What Effect Coffee Has on People B．Link Coffee to the Gut Microbiome
C．New Approach Applied to Food Study D．Coffee Boosts Beneficial Gut Bacterium

How do you feel about exams 36 On the contrary, is it an experience you enjoy because it’s your time to shine Every year, many young people sit exams and whether they love or hate them, most of them will face some anxiety before the big day.
If you’re anxious about your exams, don’t worry. You’re not alone. 37 When the pressure is on to pass that all-important test, take a deep breath and absorb some good advice from people who’ve been through the same experience as you.
38 Nutritional therapist Kerry Torrens recommends making breakfast the most important meal of the day. She recommends eating energy-giving oats and eggs. Some research even suggests students who take water into the exam hall may even improve their grades.
One thing I know I always need is a good night’s sleep to help me work and think better the next day. 39 If you get good sleep your memory is better and that means you can retain the information you have revised.
According to Lisa Artis from the Sleep Council, sitting on your bed when you’re cramming is not a good idea because then you associate that place with stress. Revising for exams can also sometimes seem cruel, so it’s good to take breaks and reward yourself with a small treat, like a cake or a quick run around the block. There comes a point when your brain can’t absorb any more information. 40
A．However, your brain is free of tiredness.
B．Is it the one thing you are frightened of
C．Thus, you’ll also need to know when to stop.
D．Is it the only thing that you are really keen on
E．Eating the right food can feed your brain and keep you energetic.
F．It might seem like a stressful time for everyone in the same situation.
G．And that’s what’s recommended for anyone preparing for their exams.

In the late 18th century, a form of drama called “French Light and Shadow” gained widespread popularity in Paris and Marseilles. This art form was inspired by traditional Chinese shadow play dating back over 2,000 years, which, often 56 (refer) to as the world’s earliest “movie art”, combines live performance with voice effects.
By the Song Dynasty, it 57 (grow) into a highly-developed art capable of relating stories of the Three Kingdoms before the rise of traditional Chinese opera. During the Ming Dynasty, shadow plays became 58 popular form of entertainment, especially in cities like Beijing. Even today, its influence can still be seen in modern film-making, 59 (shape) how stories are told.
Creating shadow-play puppets (木偶) requires both choice 60 (material) and skills. Donkey hide (驴皮) is carved into the heads, limbs and bodies of the figures, then painted and joined using threads and links. The true magic of shadow play lies not just in its making, 61 in its live performance, 62 a team of puppeteers (木偶操纵师), narrators, and musicians work together in harmony. During the performance, as light shines on the human figures, vivid shadows 63 (project) onto a screen. The puppeteers, standing 64 the screen, move the figures with five bamboo sticks, while the narrators sing and the musicians play instruments like drums and gongs. On the opposite side, audiences see the figures on the screen come to life through the shadows, whose movements are so 65 (express) that people forget they’re just watching shadows.

In Benton School, the chatter of students filled Room 13 every day. Among the lively atmosphere, Wanda Petronski, a poor Polish girl, with her unruly hair and a faded blue dress that showed signs of frequent wear, became the target of cruel jokes among her classmates.
Each morning, as Wanda stepped into the classroom, a sudden silence would fall over the room. The abrupt silence was soon replaced by whispers and laughter. “Look, there’s Wanda,” Peggy would whisper to her friend Maggie, her eyes shining with mischief. Peggy, the most popular girl in class, was well-known for her sharp tongue and a good sense of fashion. Driven by a mix of boredom and meanness (恶意), she would call out, “How many dresses do you have now, Wanda ” Her voice was filled with pretended curiosity.
Wanda would hesitate, her fingers nervously twisting her dress. “A hundred,” she would reply in a soft murmur; her voice was barely heard. Instantly, the classroom would erupt in laughter. “A hundred!” Peggy would shout, her laughter echoing through the room. “I bet they’re all made of paper!” The other students would join in, their cruel laughter filling the air. Wanda’s face would redden with awkward, and she would quickly lower her head, unable to meet anyone’s eyes.
Miss Mason, their teacher, often tried to intervene. “That’s enough, class. Let’s start the lesson,” she would say firmly, attempting to restore order. But the damage had been done. Day after day, Peggy and her group of friends continued to make fun of Wanda, asking about her “hundred dresses” and making ill remarks about her plain clothes.
One day, Miss Mason announced an exciting drawing contest. The theme was “Design a Dress,” and the winning entries would be displayed in the school hall. Peggy, confident in her artistic abilities, was determined to claim victory.

(前进的道路需要求职者和招聘人员更好地相互理解。求职者可以从了解为什么招聘人员对求职者的能力不满意中受益。就科研机构而言，它们必须把自己视为科学事业的建筑师。这意味着要承认专业的准备工作不会干扰研究的卓越性——它是研究的重要组成部分。)”可知，本段主要讲述求职者和招聘人员相互理解的重要性，故选D。

40．设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“According to Lisa Artis from the Sleep Council, sitting on your bed when you’re cramming is not a good idea because then you associate that place with stress. Revising for exams can also sometimes seem cruel, so it’s good to take breaks and reward yourself with a small treat, like a cake or a quick run around the block. There comes a point when your brain can’t absorb any more information.(据睡眠委员会的丽莎·阿蒂斯说，坐在床上死记硬背不是个好主意，因为那样你就会把那个地方和压力联系在一起。复习考试有时看起来也很残酷，所以最好休息一下，犒赏自己一下，比如一块蛋糕或绕着街区跑一圈。当你的大脑无法吸收更多的信息时，就会出现这样的情况)”表明你的大脑不能吸收更多信息，所以应该休息，所以C项“Thus, you’ll also need to know when to stop.(因此，你还需要知道什么时候该停下来)”是对前文的总结。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国传统皮影戏的历史、制作及表演特点。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：这种艺术形式受到可以追溯到2000多年前的中国传统皮影戏的启发，皮影戏通常被称为世界上最早的“电影艺术”，它将现场表演与音效相结合。“which, often ____ (refer) to as the world’s earliest “movie art””是定语从句，修饰先行词“traditional Chinese shadow play”，从句中已有谓语动词combines，所以refer要用非谓语形式作定语，refer to...as... 表示“把……称作……”，所以此处该动词和被修饰的名词之间为被动关系，用过去分词referred表被动。故填referred。
57．考查动词时态。句意：到了宋代，在中国传统戏曲兴起之前，它已经发展成为一种高度发达的艺术，能够讲述三国时期的故事。空处为句子的谓语动词。根据时间状语By the Song Dynasty可知，此处应用过去完成时，表示在过去某一时间之前已经完成的动作，即到宋代为止，皮影戏已经发展成为一种高度发达的艺术。故填had grown。
58．考查冠词。句意：在明代，皮影戏成为一种流行的娱乐形式，尤其是在北京这样的城市。form是可数名词“形式”，此处泛指“一种形式”，且popular的发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
59．考查非谓语动词。句意：即使在今天，它对现代电影制作的影响仍然可见，影响着故事的讲述方式。此处应用非谓语动词作状语，shape与逻辑主语its influence之间是主动关系，故用现在分词形式。故填shaping。
60．考查名词复数。句意：制作皮影戏木偶既需要选择材料，也需要技巧。根据句意可知，material是可数名词“材料”，根据语境可知，制作皮影木偶需要多种材料，所以用复数形式。故填materials。
61．考查连词。句意：皮影戏的真正魔力不仅在于它的制作，还在于它的现场表演，在现场表演中，一群木偶操纵师、叙述者和音乐家和谐地合作。not just...but...为固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
62．考查定语从句。句意：皮影戏的真正魔力不仅在于它的制作，还在于它的现场表演，在现场表演中，一群木偶操纵师、叙述者和音乐家和谐地合作。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是its live performance，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
63．考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：在表演过程中，当光线照射到人物身上时，生动的影子就会被投射到屏幕上。此处为谓语动词，描述的是一般情况，此处应用一般现在时，主语vivid shadows与动词project“投射，放映”之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为复数，be动词用are。故填are projected。
64．考查介词。句意：木偶操纵师站在屏幕后面，用五根竹棒操纵人物，而叙述者则唱歌，音乐家则演奏鼓、锣等乐器。根据常识可知，木偶操纵师是站在屏幕后面操作木偶的，所以用介词behind“在……后面”。故填behind。
65．考查形容词。句意：在另一边，观众看到屏幕上的人物通过影子变得栩栩如生，它们的动作如此富有表现力，以至于人们忘记了他们只是在看影子。根据空前are可知，此处应用形容词作表语，express的形容词形式为expressive，意为“富有表现力的”。故填expressive。
Dear Eric,
I’m Li Hua, a student passionate about cultural exchange. Learning about the plan to add a 15-minute weekly cultural program, I’d like to share my scheme.
The program could be structured into two well-designed sections. First, a 10-minute “Cultural Spotlight” could focus on in-depth exploration of a specific cultural theme each week, such as Chinese traditional festivals, world-famous landmarks, iconic art forms, or intercultural comparisons. Then follows a 5-minute “Audience Corner” session featuring responses to listeners’ questions submitted, thus making the program more engaging. Not only will it serve as a marvelous platform for English learning, but it will also broaden our global perspectives and foster the cross-cultural awareness.
I believe this program will become a vibrant window to the world. Thank you for considering my ideas.
Yours,
Li Hua
A few days later, Miss Mason announced the result and everyone was shocked. Wanda won the first prize, for she had submitted 100 exquisite, uniquely detailed fashion design drawings. Each drawing was a masterpiece, featuring elaborate patterns and vivid colors that far exceeded the simple sketches of the other students. Peggy and the class stared in disbelief at the beautiful display of Wanda’s talent. But Wanda wasn’t there to see her triumph. She had been absent for days, likely due to classmates’ constant bad behavior. The classroom was filled with an awkward silence as the students realized how wrong they had been to laugh at her.
Feeling a strong sense of guilt, Peggy and Maggie went to Wanda’s house with the good news. When they arrived, Wanda seemed surprised to see them. Peggy, her voice filled with regret, said, “Wanda, your drawings won! They’re amazing. We’re so sorry for being mean.” Maggie nodded in agreement. Wanda smiled gently and said, “It’s okay.” She then offered to give Peggy and Maggie some of her drawings. “I want you to have them,” she said. Her kindness touched their hearts. From that day on, Peggy and Maggie learned the importance of kindness and never judged others by their appearance again. Whenever anyone walked through the school hall and saw Wanda’s beautiful drawings, they were reminded of the power of forgiveness and the impact that a single act of kindness could have.

②由第二段首句内容“Peggy和Maggie深感愧疚，带着这个好消息去了Wanda家。”可知，第二段可描写两人诚挚地向Wanda道了歉，也明白了善良的重要性。
