Research Proposal Submission Guide
All student-led research projects need formal department approval before data collection can begin. This guide explains the procedure and rules for submitting your proposal.
Submission Window
Proposals are only accepted during the fall and spring cycles. The fall cycle runs from September 1st to October 15th, and the spring cycle from February 1st to March 15th. If your documents arrive outside these windows, the system will automatically reject them and they cannot be opened. There are no exceptions.
What a Proposal Must Contain
A complete package must include three separate parts, each of which the review committee will assess independently. First, a project statement that explains your research based on a review of existing studies and describes your method. Second, a timeline with clear, measurable milestones for the project period. Third, a cost breakdown showing that all expected expenses are necessary and reasonable. Packages that are incomplete or in the wrong order will be returned without being evaluated.
File Naming Rules
Every file you upload must follow this naming pattern: Surname_Initials_Component.pdf — for example, Chen_X_ProjectStatement.pdf. A file with a title that does not match this pattern or cannot be recognized will be treated as missing. It is your responsibility to double-check this before you finalize your submission.
Review Standards
The committee uses a standard scoring framework. The four weighted factors are: academic value (40%), soundness of design (30%), achievability (20%), and budget reasonableness (10%). The design score mainly reflects whether your research design is logically consistent. Proposals that rest on unverifiable assumptions or lack a clearly defined, measurable outcome will be scored poorly.
After the Review
Within four weeks of a cycle closing, the committee gives one of three decisions: approved, revisable, or declined. A “revisable” decision is time-sensitive — you have exactly 14 calendar days to upload a revised version that addresses all the committee’s concerns.
1. What happens to a proposal handed in on October 20th
A．It will be held for the next cycle.
B．It will fail to clear the system’s check.
C．It will be reviewed with a lower priority.
D．It will be given a manual extension.
2. Which of the following aspects carries the least weight in deciding a proposal’s fate
A．Whether the money asked for makes sense.
B．Whether the goals can be clearly measured.
C．Whether the research design holds together logically.
D．Whether the project is of high academic worth.
3. What must a student do upon receiving a “revisable” decision
A．Move forward with data collection while fixing the proposal.
B．Reach out to committee members for individual guidance.
C．Beat the clock and get the revised version back in two weeks.
D．Challenge the committee’s concerns through a formal channel.

My first college class was philosophy, and it completely changed the course of my life. Our first assignment was to write an original 1000-word analysis of Albert Camus’ essay The Myth of Sisyphus within a week. The task filled me with deep anxiety. However, through all the confusion in philosophy class, I found answers to my inner questions about life.
I entered college aiming for an engineering degree, drawn to mathematics for its clear right and wrong answers. Facing my first philosophy task, I was confused. What was the correct way to analyze Camus’ essay The professor offered no guidelines and simply said, “I want to see what you come up with.”
I was used to examples and explanations of solutions, but this assignment offered no references. Burdened with worry, I read Camus’ essay several times and took careful notes. I thought of a million ways to interpret the essay, but which one was my professor looking for I attempted various strategies — brainstorming, idea mapping, outlining. Eventually, my ideas became well-organized. I submitted my own interpretation of The Myth of Sisyphus.
A week or two later, the professor returned our papers. Surprisingly, I received an A. The professor spoke highly of my original reading and logical thinking. As I went through his written feedback, a wave of relief and newfound confidence washed over me.
What I learned through this process extended well beyond how to write a college paper. I learned to be open to new challenges. This class and assignment gave me the faith, critical thinking skills and courage to explore a new career path. I left engineering, studied law and became a lawyer. More importantly, rather than viewing college as a direct stepping stone to a job, I came to see it as a place to first learn, then pursue a career.

Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His “Extraordinary Voyages (航海)” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100 modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings.
For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephote,” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her. Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的) with tears.”
Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. Captain Nemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. For Verne, human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
8. How does Mr. Smith get in touch with his wife
A．Via a sound-image communication device.
B．By sailing a cross-continental submarine.
C．Through traditional handwritten letters.
D．By driving fast vehicles to visit her.
9. How did Verne’s writing differ from that of other writers at his time
A．He focused on supernatural events.
B．He preferred fanciful and unrealistic plots.
C．He based his stories on realistic science and research.
D．He only wrote about optimistic futures.
10. What can we infer about Verne from Captain Nemo’s story
A．He is confident in human nature.
B．He is supportive of scientific advance.
C．He is different from the writers of his time.
D．He is aware of the danger of technology.
11. What is the most suitable description of Jules Verne according to the passage
A．Sensitive and positive-minded.
B．Imaginative and forward-thinking.
C．Creative and strong-willed.
D．Adventurous and fantasy-seeking.
D
A newly published report claims “AI-generated poetry is indistinguishable from human-written poetry and is rated more favorably”, which has drawn massive attention to this criticized yet beloved art form. The Washington Post definitively declared that “ChatGPT is a poet”. Others more closely echoed the age-old claims that poetry is dead, or as one publication offered, “Yield, Shakespeare.”
Reports like these are important to investigate as they have practical and potentially serious consequences. They can strengthen what some argue is the art form’s nugacity, which in turn helps fuel arguments that discredit the importance of teaching poetry and supporting passionate poets, as well as nonprofit poetry organizations and publishers dedicated to their work.
The authors of the new report, scientists Brian Porter and Edouard Machery, entered their experiments with the premise (前提) that a poem is something to be solved and poetry, a competition to win.
In the first of the scientists’ two experiments, they directed ChatGPT to produce texts that imitated poems by 10 poets. Participants were assigned a poem and asked to determine the origin of the work: poet or bot. The scientists reveal that the study participants “are non-expert readers of poetry” and “found the task very difficult, and were at least in part answering randomly”.
Their second experiment asked a different, smaller group of participants to review poems authored by poets and ChatGPT texts imitating poems and then assess them based on some characteristics. Participants rated the bot’s texts higher. However, it should be noted that, among the characteristics, only rhyme is a specific and distinct formal element, making it easily recognizable. Rhyme, therefore, as in the previous experiment, could have influenced results favorably in the direction of ChatGPT.
Porter and Machery propose that their participants’ apparent preference for algorithmically-generated texts is because they were “generally more accessible” to those who may not have the time or interest for the in-depth analysis demanded by the poetry of human poets. This reveals a questionable assumption about poetry. It’s true that reading poems takes time. In fact, one of the art form’s benefits is that it slows readers down and invites them to another place for a few moments. But it’s not true that poems sweepingly “demand” “in-depth analysis”.
The scientists’ second experiment also confirmed that participants judged texts more negatively when it was revealed they were actually produced by ChatGPT. They draw the conclusion that this means there is "a mismatch between readers’ expectations and reality". This could instead be something more fundamental: a confirmation of a desire to be led by a human guide, to be able to imagine the hand, to take comfort in another being, to know soul.
12. What is probably the author’s attitude towards the reports mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．Tolerant. B．Humble. C．Pessimistic. D．Critical.
13. What does the underlined word “nugacity” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Unreliability. B．Insignificance. C．Contradictoriness. D．Backwardness.
14. As for the experiments, the author thinks that _________.
A．participants’ desire for easy reading affected the result
B．experimenters' capability to judge poems was shown
C．the assessment features weakened the credibility
D．deep analysis of poems should serve as the basis
15. What would be the best title for the passage
A．The Power of AI’s Words: Can Humans Grasp
B．Human Poetry: The Last Art in the Age of AI
C．AI-generated Poetry: A New Renaissance
D．Voices of the Heart: Can AI Bridge
七选五
There are days when your mind feels like an overflowing inbox (收件箱). ___16___ Emotions arrive faster than you can name them. You move from task to task, but inside, your inner noise never finds a place to land.
For a long time, I tried to manage this inner noise by thinking harder, planning more or “being positive”. It rarely helped. I didn’t need more thoughts about my thoughts. ___17___

At first, it was uncomfortable, like overhearing a stranger’s private conversation. ___18___ I stopped reading as if it were about “me” and started reading as if I were discovering a character in a story.

I can understand the “character”, notice my blind spots, and decide how the next page might go.
___20___ While those tools can be useful, they often guide you toward specific interpretations. By contrast, WYED does not. You just need 10 minutes a day, the willingness to tell the truth for a moment, and then the commitment to keep coming back, reading and authoring your story with care.

The Science Of Scratching
Mom knew what she was talking about after all: Scratching really does make the itch worse. Good ___36___ it feels, the burst of ecstasy (狂喜) you get from clawing your irritated skin only prolongs a vicious itch-scratch cycle, putting true relief ___37___ (far) out of reach.
But why Though itch has troubled our species for thousands of years, scientists have just begun to comprehend the physiological mechanisms ___38___ it. Over the past couple of decades, research has shown ___39___ scratching taps into our brains’ reward and immune systems, producing a strange mix of sensations that makes it all but impossible to resist.
“You scratch to feel better,” says Brian Kim, a neuroimmunologist at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine, “but in doing so, you actually activate immune pathways that are counterproductive.”
In 1660, a definition of itch arose that’s still in use today: an unpleasant sensation that provokes the desire to scratch. It results from ___40___ from insect bites and poisonous plants to allergic reactions and skin conditions like eczema (湿疹).
Until recently, itch was considered a form of mild pain ___41___ (arise) from the weak activation of pain receptors. This “intensity theory” speculated that itch stood at one end of the pain spectrum, and ___42___ (transition) all the way to full-blown suffering as a stimulus grew stronger.
But in 2014, Zhou-Feng Chen, an itch researcher then at Washington University, discovered that serotonin (the mood-regulating “happiness hormone”) plays a big role in perpetuating (使永久) the itch-scratch cycle. The research team found that when mice scratch an itch, their brains release a surge of serotonin, resulting in a moment of pure bliss.
These results were consistent with a PLOS One study from the previous year, which showed that scratching activates the brain regions ___43___ (involve) in the reward circuit, a neural network that floods the body with euphoria-inducing chemicals in response to pleasurable activities and substances. It’s the same system ___44___ underlies addiction, which isn’t surprising if you’ve ever lost an hour scratching at mosquito bites.
But Kim notes there’s another side to this coin: the longing not to feel pleasure ___45___ to ease discomfort. “That’s what’s so complex about it,” he says. “There are different levels at which you need to scratch.”

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。
Mr. and Mrs. Lee moved into the apartment next door in early September. At first, we exchanged polite smiles when passing by, but things changed soon. My younger brother, Tom, was crazy about playing the drums. He’d been dreaming of joining the school’s music band and practiced hard every evening right after finishing his homework, usually from 5 pm to 6 pm. He said the loud beats helped him release stress from a day of studying. However, our thin apartment walls turned his practice sessions into a headache for the Lees.
Mrs. Lee worked night shifts at the hospital. She relied on the afternoons to sleep and recharge for the next shift, but the drumbeats would wake her up repeatedly. Mr. Lee, a freelance writer who worked from home, needed complete quiet to focus on his stories, but the constant “boom-boom-boom” would break his train of thought. We didn’t notice their trouble at first; Tom always closed his bedroom door when practicing, and we thought that would reduce the noise enough.
One Tuesday evening, Mr. Lee knocked on our door. His face looked serious, and I could tell he was upset. “I’m sorry to bother you,” he said, “but the drum noise has been making it hard for my wife to rest and me to work. We’ve tried closing the windows, but it still doesn’t help much.” My parents apologized immediately, but Tom felt wronged. He argued that he only practiced for an hour each day and had nowhere else to play. For the next few days, the atmosphere between our two families became awkward. We stopped greeting each other, and the walls seemed to grow thicker.
Deciding to fix the situation, my mom baked a plate of chocolate cookies — Mrs. Lee’s favorite, which we learned from a casual chat before — and asked Tom and me to take them to the Lees.

Make Full Use of Our Labor Practice Base
Our school labor practice base has been idle for months, with empty fields and unused tools left unattended. It’s a waste of valuable educational resources.
I have two practical suggestions. First, hold regular planting and handcraft activities for different classes. Second, set a fixed duty group to take care of the base every week.
I hope the school can take action soon. Only in this way can we learn practical skills and value labor.
读后续写范文
When we arrived, Mrs. Lee opened the door with a surprised look. We handed over the cookies and sincerely apologized for the disturbing drum noise. Tom admitted he hadn’t realized how much the loud beats affected their life. Mr. Lee softened at our sincere attitude and said they also hated the cold awkwardness between neighbors. We talked openly about our troubles and listened to each other’s feelings patiently.
After a discussion, they agreed on a new schedule for drum practice. Tom would practice only from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., a time when Mrs. Lee didn’t need to sleep and Mr. Lee’s writing work was nearly finished. Besides, my parents bought thick soundproof cushions for Tom’s room to cut down noise. Later, our two families often chatted and shared snacks. The little conflict turned us into warm, friendly neighbors.
