It was my first cnference as a PhD candidate, and the atmsphere shuld have thrilled me. It was a chance t shwcase my wrk and build cnnectins. Yet I fund myself hanging by the cffee statin, rehearsing ptential cnversatins in my head but never mving beynd a smile. I wanted t cnnect but feared seeming awkward, r, wrse, irrelevant. By the end f the day, my business cards were still in my pcket, untuched. I was relieved it was ver — and regretted that I had missed yet anther pprtunity t build relatinships that culd enrich my research and
persnal grwth.
When I started my PhD and saw researchers engaged in multiple cllabratins and
publishing frequently, I realized that purpseful and meaningful netwrking had helped their
accmplishments. If I wanted t succeed in academia, I wuld need t actively develp
netwrking habits. It wasn’t easy. I went int that cnference with the best f intentins, and still
came up empty. My lab mate, n the ther hand, walked away with an invitatin frm a
well-knwn research team t c-authr a wrking paper, simply by starting up a casual chat. I std there, right beside her — and yet, I let the mment slip by.
That’s when it hit me: Netwrking wasn’t abut impressing everyne in the rm. It was abut speaking up and finding value in even the smallest exchanges. I’d been waiting fr the
perfect wrds, the ideal pening, the “right” mment — but I realized thse mments rarely
arrived n their wn. The crucial pint was t let g f perfectin and instead seek cnnectin.
I dve in. I tk every pprtunity t attend events. My palms wuld sweat and I’d lse my train f thught. My vice wuld ccasinally tremble. But I kept shwing up, determined t push thrugh, hping eventually it wuld start t feel natural. And it did.
Lking back, I see that the real challenge wasn’t the act f netwrking itself, but letting g f the fear f nt ding it “right”. By shifting my mindset frm perfectin t cnnectin, I’ve
begun t enjy the prcess.
4 ．Hw did the authr feel at her first cnference as a PhD candidate?
A ．Excited and cnfident. B ．Prud and satisfied.
C ．Relaxed and enthusiastic. D ．Nervus and hesitant.
5 ．Why did the authr mentin her lab mate in paragraph 2?
A ．T display hw t start up a casual chat.
B ．T highlight the imprtance f netwrking.
C ．T shw the rle flabs in academic success.
D ．T demnstrate where t find a famus research team.
6 ．Hw did the authr make prgress in netwrking?
A ．By rganising as many events as pssible.
B ．By asking fr suggestins frm her lab mate.
C ．By preparing perfect wrds and the ideal pening.
D ．By abandning perfectinism and seeking cnnectin.
7 ．What can we learn frm the authr’s experience?
A ．Netwrking is easy fr PhD candidates.
B ．Anyne can learn t enjy netwrking.
C ．Netwrking begins with impressing thers.
D ．Chsing a team matters a lt in academia.
C
Fr many, sitting n the cuch with ppcrn and a mvie means shutting yur brain ff t relax. But surprisingly, tw dzen brain netwrks are lighting up as yu watch different types f mvies, a new study finds. A research paper published in Nvember in the jurnal Neurn shws that ur brains are actually incredibly active when we watch mvies. Researchers at MIT tk
advantage f this t create the mst accurate functinal brain map t date.
The researchers used a functinal MRI (fMRI) dataset frm the Human Cnnectme
Prject, which cnsisted f brain scans frm 176 yung adults wh watched 60 minutes f shrt
mvie clips (片段). An fMRI scan indirectly measures brain activity by tracking where bld
flws t different regins f the brain. If a part f the brain is active, bld flw t that part
increases. After the tracking, they were able t identify different brain netwrks needed t prcess different types f scenes.
Overall, 24 different brain netwrks were activated during mvie watching. The researchers culd then assign functins t each netwrk by assciating them with specific cgnitive prcesses,
such as recgnizing human faces, watching peple interact with ne anther, and bserving familiar settings.
Frm this map, the researchers discvered a relatinship between “executive cntrl areas”
— parts f the brain invlved in planning and decisin-making — and parts f the brain with ther functins. When a mvie scene was cmplex and difficult t fllw, the executive cntrl areas
were highly active. Hwever, when a scene was relatively simple, mre specialized brain regins including thse invlved in language prcessing dminated.
Such a detailed functinal map f the brain culd prvide insights int hw the rgan’s
netwrks are rganised in bth healthy peple and thse with cnditins, which is gd news fr dctrs. And in thery, understanding hw the brain respnds t mvies culd even help
filmmakers create mre engaging cntent.
8 ．What is the achievement f the researchers at MIT?
A ．Innvating ways t relax ur brains.
B ．Publishing a paper abut brains in December.
C ．Discvering the advantages f watching films.
D ．Mapping active areas in brains related t mvie scenes.
9 ．What happened t the viewers watching cmplicated scenes?
A ．They tk an interest in the language in them.
B ．Their executive cntrl areas gt activated.
C ．They tended t shift t anther mvie.
D ．Their relatinship became tense.
10 ．What is the purpse f the last paragraph?
A ．T attract test participants.
B ．T advcate further studies.
C ．T ffer filmmakers suggestins.
D ．T emphasize the value f the map.
11 ．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A ．Brains get started when yu watch mvies
B ．New brain scanning technlgy arrives
C ．Tips fr finding yur favurite mvies
D ．Ways t shut ff yur brain and relax

The ld saying ges that if yu give an infinite (无限的) number f mnkeys an infinite amunt f time t hit randm keys n a typewriter, ne f them will eventually type ut the
cmplete wrks f William Shakespeare, which is knwn as the Infinite Mnkey Therem.
Hwever, accrding t a new paper in the jurnal Franklin Open, there is nt enugh time left in the universe’s entire lifespan fr all the chimps alive tday t write ut the wrks f the
pet. “The lng-established result f the Infinite Mnkey Therem is crrect, but misleading,” the University f Technlgy Sydney researchers wrte in the paper. “Meaningful text generatin
during the lifespan f ur universe is almst infeasible.”
The “heat death” thery suggests the universe will end ver 100,000 billin years as it
expands and energy equally spreads, leaving n usable energy. Currently at 13.8 billin years ld, we have a vast time ahead. Yet, even this may nt be enugh fr randm mnkeys t cpy
Shakespeare’s wrks, accrding t new research.
In the study, the researchers calculated hw likely it wuld be fr a given string f
characters t be typed by ne f a finite number f mnkeys. They assumed that the keybard
cntained 30 keys f English characters and punctuatin marks, a finite number f 200,000
mnkeys — based n the current ppulatin f chimpanzee — and a typing rate f ne key per mnkey per secnd fr the rest fthe universe’s lifetime. They discvered that, using these
assumptins, it is extremely unlikely that all wrds f Shakespeare’s wrks will be typed befre the heat death f the universe. In fact, there is nly a 5 percent chance that ne f the mnkeys wuld even get arund t typing the single wrd “bananas” within its wn lifetime.
“This finding places the therem amng ther prbability puzzles and paradxes (悖论) — such as the St Petersburg paradx, Zen’s paradx, and the Rss-Littlewd paradx — where
using the idea f infinite resurces gives the results that dn’t match up with what we get when we cnsider the limitatin f ur universe,” said Wdcck, a prfessr at the University f
Technlgy Sydney.
12 ．What is the Infinite Mnkey Therem abut?
A ．A cultural trend. B ．A prbability principle.
C ．A literature assumptin. D ．A psychlgy phenmenn.
13 ．What des the underlined wrd “infeasible” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A ．Impssible. B ．Deep-rted. C ．Valueless. D ．Far-reaching.
14 ．What is the basis f the research?
A ．Pwer f randmness.
B ．Infinite resurces and time.
C ．Realistic estimates f time and resurces.
D ．Faith in Shakespeare’s wrks’ cmplexity.
15 ．What is Wdcck’s attitude tward the finding f the study?
A ．Dubtful. B ．Dismissive. C ．Ambiguus. D ．Psitive.

If there’s ne thing clleges knw, it’s where the jbs are. Here are sme areas t study.
16
The first ne is electricians. Electricians are in shrt supply, even withut cnsidering the
increase in electricians needed t electrify the ecnmy. 17 Putting up, say, an
apartment building can require up t 40. The field is s full f pprtunity that sme clleges have started teaching evening classes t graduate mre electrician students per year. 18
Students can try different trades, like the electrical ne, and mve directly frm the prgram t an apprenticeship (学徒工作).
Artificial intelligence (AI) is anther ht field. Twenty years ag, there were few
pprtunities t explre a career in artificial intelligence. 19 Between 2015 and 2019,
there was a 270 per cent increase in the number f businesses implementing AI prcesses
wrldwide. The technlgy’s capabilities are wide-ranging. It can help teachers streamline their wrk by updating curses, recmmending cntent and suggesting ways t bridge knwledge gaps fr students. In the business wrld, AI has transfrmed supply chain management.
20 Just a few years ag, imagining e-sprts (r electrnic sprts) as a prper
cllege prgram was almst unthinkable. Vide games were seen as a vice, nt a jb. Fast frward
t 2025: Quite a few clleges have nt nly launched e-sprts management prgrams but even
built e-sprts arenas t take advantage f the lively industry. Glbally, the vide game industry is bigger than the mvie and music industries cmbined. Revenue frm e-sprts events is predicted t grw t mre than $1.8 billin glbally by 2026.
A ．Others are ffering free explratin prgrams.
B ．Building almst any hme requires an electrician.
C ．Hwever, the technlgy has quickly advanced in the last decade.
D ．They practically guarantee a hire and help create a better future t.
E ．Game shws becme ppular thanks t new management prgrams.

37 (cmpare) t the glbal average f 88 in the same year, accrding t the Educatinal Testing Service (ETS). Omar Chihane, General Manager f TOEFL, nted that as China

In 2023, TOEFL annunced enhancements, including shrtening the test duratin frm three hurs t less than tw hurs and 39 (intrduce) a new “writing fr an academic40 (discuss)”task. Rhit Sharma, Senir Vice-President f ETS's Glbal Higher
Educatin and Wrkskills, said that the high-quality assessments prvided by ETS will extend
frm the educatin sectr, such as TOEFL and GRE tests, t emplyment and the
wrkplace.“There’s evidence 41 many students, after receiving an internatinal
educatin and perhaps wrking fr a few years, are returning t their hme cuntries t cntribute t their lcal ecnmies,” he said.
Sharma added that the demand gap between talent and emplyers is challenging bth in
China and arund the wrld.“If yu talk t emplyers, they will say they cannt find peple. And if yu talk t students, they will say they cannt find jbs,” he said.

文章主要介绍一项新研究发现观影时人脑十分活跃，科学家借此绘制精准大脑功能图并阐述其应用价值。
8．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A research paper published in Nvember in the jurnal Neurn shws that ur brains are actually incredibly active when we watch mvies. Researchers at MIT
tk advantage f this t create the mst accurate functinal brain map t date.(十一月发表的研究论文表明观影时大脑极度活跃，麻省理工学院研究人员借此绘制出迄今为止最精准的大脑功能图谱。)”可知，研究人员的成果是绘制出与电影画面处理相关的大脑活跃区域图谱。
9 ．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When a mvie scene was cmplex and difficult t fllw, the executive cntrl areas were highly active.(当电影画面复杂、难以理解时，大脑的执行控制区域会处于高度活跃状态。)”可知，观众观看复杂场景时，大脑执行控制区域处于高度活跃状态。
10 ．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Such a detailed functinal map f the brain culd prvide
insights int hw the rgan’s netwrks are rganised in bth healthy peple and thse with
cnditins, which is gd news fr dctrs. And in thery, understanding hw the brain respnds

12 ．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The ld saying ges that if yu give an infinite (无限的)
number f mnkeys an infinite amunt f time t hit randm keys n a typewriter, ne f them
will eventually type ut the cmplete wrks f William Shakespeare, which is knwn as the
Infinite Mnkey Therem.(俗话说，如果你给无限数量的猴子无限的时间在打字机上随机敲击按键，它们中的一只最终会打出威廉 ・ 莎士比亚的全部作品，这就是所谓的无限猴子定
理。)”可知，无限猴子定理是关于在一定条件下（无限猴子和无限时间）出现某种结果（打出莎士比亚作品）的概率问题，所以它是一个概率原理。故选 B 项。
13 ．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Hwever, accrding t a new paper in the jurnal Franklin Open, there is nt enugh time left in the universe’s entire lifespan fr all the chimps alive tday
t write ut the wrks f the pet. “The lng-established result f the Infinite Mnkey Therem is crrect, but misleading,” the University f Technlgy Sydney researchers wrte in the paper.(然 而，根据《富兰克林开放》杂志上的一篇新论文，在宇宙的整个生命周期内，没有足够的时间让今天所有活着的黑猩猩写出这位诗人的作品。悉尼科技大学的研究人员在论文中写道： “无限猴子定理长期以来的结果是正确的，但具有误导性。”)”可知，因为在宇宙的生命周期内没有足够时间让黑猩猩写出莎士比亚的作品，所以生成有意义的文本几乎是不可能的，由
此可知 划线单词的意思与“不可能的”意义相近 故选 A 项
, 。 。
14．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In the study, the researchers calculated hw likely it wuld be fr a given string f characters t be typed by ne f a finite number f mnkeys. They assumed
that the keybard cntained 30 keys f English characters and punctuatin marks, a finite number f 200,000 mnkeys — based n the current ppulatin f chimpanzee — and a typing rate f ne key per mnkey per secnd fr the rest fthe universe’s lifetime.( 在这项研究中，研究人员计算了有限数量的猴子中的一只打出给定字符串的可能性。他们假设键盘上有 30 个英文字符和标点符号键，基于目前黑猩猩的数量，假设有有限数量的 20 万只猴子，并且在宇宙的剩余生命周期内，每只猴子每秒敲击一个键。)”可知，研究人员考虑了宇宙的寿命和现有猴子的数量，从而得出猴子敲出莎士比亚作品集是几乎不可能的结论，由此可知，该研究的立足点是运用现实的时间估计和资源假设。故选 C 项。
15 ．推理判断题。根据最后一段““This finding places the therem amng ther prbability
puzzles and paradxes (悖论) — such as the St Petersburg paradx, Zen’s paradx, and the
Rss-Littlewd paradx — where using the idea f infinite resurces gives the results that dn’t match up with what we get when we cnsider the limitatin f ur universe,” said Wdcck, a
prfessr at the University f Technlgy Sydney.(悉尼科技大学教授伍德科克说：“这一发现将该定理置于其他概率谜题和悖论之中——比如圣彼得堡悖论、芝诺悖论和罗斯 - 利特尔伍德悖论——在这些悖论中，使用无限资源的概念得出的结果与我们考虑宇宙的局限性时得到的结果不相符。”)”可知，伍德科克认为这一发现将无限猴子定理与其他著名的概率谜题和悖论相提并论，并且揭示了无限资源概念与考虑宇宙局限性时的差异，所以他对这项研究的发现持积极态度。故选 D 项。
