Sitting in the garden fr my friend’s birthday, I felt a buzz (振动) in my pcket. My heart raced with a mix f anxiety and hpe when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started ff: “Dear Mr Green, thank yu fr yur interest” and “the review prcess tk lnger than expected”. It ended with “We are srry t infrm yu…” and my visin blurred (模糊). The psitin — measuring sil quality in the Sahara Desert as part f an undergraduate research prgramme — had felt like the answer I had spent years lking fr.
I had put s much time and emtinal energy int applying, and I thught the rejectin meant the end f the rad fr my science career.
S I was shcked when, nt lng after the email, Prfessr Mary Devn, wh was running the prgramme, invited me t bserve the wrk being dne in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shcked — and verjyed — when she invited me t talk with her abut ptential prjects I culd pursue in her lab. What she prpsed didn’t seem as exciting as the riginal prject I had applied t, but I was ging t give it my all.
I fund myself wrking with a rbtics prfessr n techniques fr cllecting data frm the desert remtely. That prject, which I culd cmplete frm my sfa instead f in the burning heat f the desert, nt nly survived the lckdwn but wrked where traditinal methds didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest t pursue.
When I applied t graduate schl, I fund three prgrammes prmising t allw me t fllw my desired research directin. And I applied with the same anxius excitement as befre. When I was rejected frm ne that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective t keep it frm sending me int panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted int ne f the ther prgrammes I was als excited abut.
Rather than setting plans in stne, I’ve learned that smetimes I need t take the pprtunities that are ffered, even if they dn’t sund perfect at the time, and make the mst f them.
4. Hw did the authr initially feel upn seeing the email?
A. Quite curius and interested.
B. Quite nervus and excited.
C. Rather surprised and cnfused.
D. Deeply disappinted and upset.
5. What was the authr’s first reactin t the rejectin?
A. He decided t abandn his scientific dream.
B. He immediately sught alternative prgrams.
C. He felt it signaled the end f his career in science.
D. He chse t bserve the lab wrk withut hesitatin.
6. What des the authr imply abut the prject he eventually undertk?
A. It prved t be effective and innvative.
B. It was mre exciting than the Sahara prject.
C. It was cmpleted under the tugh desert cnditins.
D. It was a perfect fit fr his riginal research interest.
7. What is the main life lessn the authr learned frm his experience?
A. Only apply fr prgrams that are a perfect fit.
B. Seize and maximize the pprtunities at hand.
C. Rejectins are unavidable n the rad t success.
D. Always have a backup plan ready fr any situatin.

“What wuld the wrld be if there were n hunger?” It’s a questin that Prfessr Crystal wuld ask her students. They fund it hard t answer, she wrte later, because imagining smething that isn’t part f real life — and learning hw t make it real — is a rare skill. It is taught t artists and engineers, but much less ften t scientists. Crystal set ut t change that, and helped t create a glbal mvement. The result — an apprach knwn as systems thinking — is nw seen as essential in meeting glbal challenges.
Systems thinking is crucial t achieving targets such as zer hunger and better nutritin because it requires cnsidering the way in which fd is prduced, prcessed, delivered and cnsumed, and lking at hw thse things intersect (交叉) with human health, the envirnment, ecnmics and sciety. Accrding t systems thinking, changing the fd system — r any ther netwrk — requires three things t happen. First, researchers need t identify all the players in that system; secnd, they must wrk ut hw they relate t each ther; and third, they need t understand and quantify the impact f thse relatinships n each ther and n thse utside the system.
Take nutritin. In the latest UN reprt n glbal fd security, the number f undernurished (营养不良的) peple in the wrld has been rising, despite great advances in nutritin science. Tracking f 150 bichemicals in fd has been imprtant in revealing the relatinships between calries, sugar, fat and the ccurrence f cmmn diseases. But using machine learning and artificial intelligence, sme scientists prpse that human diets cnsist f at least 26,000 bichemicals — and that the vast majrity are nt knwn. This shws that we have sme way t travel befre achieving the first bjective f systems thinking.
A systems apprach t creating change is als built n the assumptin that everyne in the system has equal pwer. But as sme researchers find, the fd system is nt an equal ne. A gd way t redress such pwer imbalance is fr mre universities t d what Crystal did and teach students hw t think using a systems apprach.
Mre researchers, plicymakers and representatives frm the fd industry must learn t lk beynd their direct lines f respnsibility and adpt a systems apprach. Crystal knew that visins alne dn’t prduce results, but cncluded that “we’ll never prduce results that we can’t envisin”
8. What is the main purpse f Prfessr Crystal’s questin mentined in the first paragraph?
A. T highlight a skill seldm taught t scientists.
B. T initiate a discussin n an unrealistic situatin.
C. T assess the students’ understanding f glbal hunger.
D. T inspire a creative apprach t a fundamental prblem.
9. Accrding t the secnd paragraph, what is the cre requirement f systems thinking?
A. It invlves a thrugh cnsideratin f varius related factrs.
B. It requires the applicatin f artificial intelligence in analysis.
C. It priritizes the imprvement f fd prductin efficiency.
D. It demands a fcus n ecnmic grwth abve everything else.
10. What des the example f nutritin research in paragraph 3 demnstrate?
A. The newest UN reprts n fd security are n lnger trustwrthy.
B. Machine learning has made traditinal nutritin science utdated.
C. Mst cmmn diseases are caused by a severe lack f unknwn bichemicals.
D. Achieving the first gal f systems thinking is mre challenging than it seems.
11. What des the underlined wrd “redress” in paragraph 4 mst prbably mean?
A. Recgnize. B. Crrect.C. Measure.D. Discuss.
D
The Stanfrd marshmallw (棉花糖) test was riginally cnducted by psychlgist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged fur t six at a nursery schl were placed in a rm. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed n a table. Each child was tld if they waited fr 15 minutes befre eating the treat, they wuld be given a secnd treat. Then they were left alne in the rm. Fllw-up studies with the children later in life shwed a cnnectin between an ability t wait lng enugh t btain a secnd treat and varius frms f success.
As adults we face a versin f the marshmallw test every day. We’re nt tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by ur cmputers, phnes, and tablets — all the devices that cnnect us t the glbal delivery system fr varius types f infrmatin that d t us what marshmallws d t preschlers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because ur ancestrs lived in a calrie-pr wrld, and ur brains develped a respnse mechanism t these treats that reflected their value — a feeling f reward and satisfactin. But as we’ve reshaped the wrld arund us, dramatically reducing the cst and effrt invlved in btaining calries, we still have the same brains we had thusands f years ag, and this mismatch is at the heart f why s many f us struggle t resist tempting fds that we knw we shuldn’t eat.
A similar prcess is at wrk in ur respnse t infrmatin. Our frmative envirnment as a species was infrmatin-pr, s ur brains develped a mechanism that prized new infrmatin. But glbal cnnectivity has greatly changed ur infrmatin envirnment. We are nw ceaselessly bmbarded (轰炸) with new infrmatin. Therefre, just as we need t be mre thughtful abut ur calric cnsumptin, we als need t be mre thughtful abut ur infrmatin cnsumptin, resisting the temptatin f the mental “junk fd” in rder t manage ur time mst effectively.
12. What was the key fr children t get a secnd treat in the Stanfrd test?
A. Selecting their favrite sugary snack.
B. Remaining alne in the rm fr 15 minutes.
C. Resisting the immediate desire t eat the first ne.
D. Fllwing the instructins given by the psychlgist.
13. What des the authr imply by “a versin f the marshmallw test” fr adults?
A. Adults are tested with digital devices instead f treats.
B. Adults face mre cmplex temptatins than children.
C. Adults must als delay cntentment in the digital age.
D. Adults are assessed n the ability t share infrmatin.
14. Accrding t the text, what is the rt cause f peple’s struggle against temptatin?
A. The lack f self-discipline in ur cntemprary sciety.
B. The mismatch between ur ancient brains and mdern envirnment.
C. The verabundance f calrie-rich fds in the market.
D. The cnstant bmbardment f new infrmatin frm digital devices.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. The Marshmallw Test: Lessns fr Mdern Life
B. Delaying Satisfactin: A Key t Success
C. Why Our Brains Struggle in the Mdern Wrld
D. Hw t Manage Infrmatin Cnsumptin

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。
On the afternn f my eighteenth birthday, I was driving my dad’s ld car arund twn, feeling abslutely free and excited. The sun was shining, and everything felt perfect. As I made a turn a bit t quickly, the wrst thing happened. There was a lud, sharp sund f metal scraping against metal. My heart jumped int my thrat — I had sideswiped a car parked by the pavement.
I stpped the car, my hands shaking n the wheel. I lked arund nervusly. The street was cmpletely empty; n ne had seen the accident. A pwerful thught rushed int my head: “Just drive away. N ne will ever knw.” The car I hit was a beautiful, brand-new Mercedes, and the scratch alng its dr was lng and deep. My wn car nly had a small bump. panic filled me. I had wrked hard t save mney fr my first semester s cllege bks, and I knew that mney wuld be wiped ut by this repair. The temptatin t escape was verwhelming.
But then, I pictured my dad’s serius face. He had always taught me that taking respnsibility fr yur actins was what defined a persn. With a heart that felt like a heavy stne, I pulled ver behind the Mercedes. I fund a ntebk and a pen in my backpack. My hands were trembling s much that the writing was messy. I wrte dwn my name, my phne number, my address, and a shrt aplgy. I tre ut the page, walked back t the Mercedes, and carefully put the nte under its windshield wiper. Driving hme, I was cnsumed with dread, already imagining the angry phne call and the financial truble that wuld fllw me t cllege.
The call came that evening. A wman’s vice, calm and steady, asked fr me. “This is Mrs. Gable,” she said. “I’m calling abut the nte yu left n my car.” I braced fr the wrst, and my aplgy tumbled ut in a rushed, nervus stream. She listened quietly until I finished. “The scratch n my car is quite nticeable,” she said, pausing. My stmach tightened int a knt, sure she was abut t demand a huge payment. Then she added, her vice warming, “But s is yur hnesty.”
