A loud banging noise suddenly rang out in the lab I had recently joined as a graduate student,and I realized I was to blame. When placing tubes into a centrifuge (离心机),I had failed to make sure they were perfectly balanced. My mistake was clear the second I turned it on. I couldn't switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen, praying the machine wouldn't fall off the desk.
Having always been a top student, I expected excellence from myself. Any misstep, in my view, was a sign that I might not be cut out for this work. But the lack of a clearly defined curriculum in graduate school meant I did not always know the rules. Suddenly, I was expected to build everything from nothing, trying to steady myself on a rocking boat.
As the months went on, the mistakes piled up. When my first attempt at DNA extraction failed,I feared I might never get it right. The fear deepened when a couple more attempts failed. Even though such moments are a normal part of graduate school, I had trouble accepting my errors and moving on. As I kept making mistakes, it felt like all eyes were on me, judging me. The fear grew so strong that I began to pullback and stop trying so hard. I didn't want to give others evidence of my incompetence.
Then, one night I had a dream. That dream showed me something I hadn't been able to grasp in waking life: I needed to treat myself with the same understanding I would offer a dear friend. If a friend had made a mistake, I would have told them to take it lightly, and even to welcome it as a necessary part of learning. That realization led me to change my reaction after something went wrong. I also started to log my mistakes so I could learn from them. I would note whether there was something I could have done differently. Then I would move on.
As I became more comfortable with the idea of making mistakes, I opened up with peers and professors. What I heard from them was striking: Almost all of them had committed mistakes——small or large. The reality is, we are all going to mess up. I now realize that's OK, even necessary.
24. Which word best describes the author's lab experience in Paragraph 1?
A. Disheartening. B. Time-wasting. C. Misleading. D. Ill-planned.
25. What did the author think of her mistakes before her dream?
A. A sign of her lack of effort. B. A shame that needs to be erased.

26. How did the dream influence the author?
A. She stopped making mistakes in lab work.
B. She learned to comfort other error makers.
C. She accepted mistakes as essentials in her life.
D. She began comparing her mistakes with others'.
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Mistakes are good reasons to play safe. B. A shift in mind changes the path ahead.
C. He who fails to prepare prepares to fail. D. A friend indeed gives the advice you need.
C
A chicken eggshell has a tricky job: It must protect a developing chick, but then ultimately let the chick break free. The secret to its success lies in its complex nanostructure —— and how that structure changes as the egg hatches.
Chicken eggshells are about 95 percent calcium carbonate by mass. But they also contain hundreds of different kinds of proteins that influence how that calcium carbonate crystalizes (结晶).The interaction between the mineral crystals and the proteins yields an eggshell that's initially crack-resistant, while making nanoscale adjustments over time that ultimately let a chick peck its way out, researchers report online March 30 in Science Advances.
Researchers analyzed the shells with electron microscopy and other high-resolution imaging techniques. They found that proteins disrupt the crystallization of calcium carbonate, so that disordered crystals make materials more resilient.
Lab tests back up that finding: The researchers added a key shell-building protein called osteopontin to calcium carbonate to yield crystals like those seen in the eggshells. The presence of that protein makes calcium carbonate crystals form in a nanostructured pattern, rather than smooth and even crystal, study coauthor Marc McKee, a biomineralization researcher at McGillUniversity in Montreal, and colleagues found.
The team also found structural variation on a minute scale throughout the eggshell, though it's only about a third of a millimeter thick. Inner layers have less osteopontin, leading to bigger nanostructures. That may make the inner shell less resilient than the outer shell, which makes sense, McKee says. The outer shell needs to be hard enough to protect the chick, while the inner shell nourishes the developing chick.
Over time, the inner layers of the shell dissolve(溶解) through a chemical reaction, releasing calcium to build a chick's developing bones. The reaction also attenuates the shell overall,making it easier for a chick to break through from the inside when it's time to hatch.
Advances in imaging technology are helping scientists find new details like this even in objects as familiar as a chicken eggshell, says Lara Estroff, a materials scientist at CornellUniversity who wasn't part of the research. In connecting the eggshell's functionality with its structure, the new study could provide inspiration for designing new kinds of materials with specific properties.
28. How did the researchers confirm their finding further?
A. Lab simulation experiments. B. Employment of imaging techniques.
C. Observation of hatched chicks. D. Test of the growth rules of chick bones.
29. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Shells with more proteins have weaker crack resistance.
B. Shells with less osteopontin have stronger crack resistance.
C. Shells with larger nanostructures have weaker crack resistance.
D. Shells with more neatly arranged crystals have stronger crack resistance.
30. What does the underlined word“attenuates” in the 5th paragraph mean?
A. balance. B. thin. C. crack. D. transform.
31. What is Lara Estroff's statement about?
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction of another study.
C. Offer of an alternative explanation. D. Potential application of the findings.
D
From TikTok to Google Images, visual content is dominating the digital world. This flood of images isn't just changing how we consume information —— it reflects and reinforces how we see ourselves, including our gender stereotypes(刻板印象).
In a first-of-its-kind study, Guilbeault looked at how gender bias is conveyed in online images versus text and how this influences users. To test how these associations might reinforce gender stereotypes, the researchers recruited some volunteers. They were given 22 occupations and were asked to find either descriptions or images of them online. They were then asked which gender they associated most with the occupation.
Biased associations were“statistically more extreme” in the images. It was also found that their gender bias intensified when searching for images. Even three days later, the test results showed lingering bias.“It’ s not a flash in the pan,” Guilbeault says,“It actually resonates(发出回响)”
The study found that women are underrepresented in online images. Yet this does not fully explain the gender bias, since there are ample images of both women and men in all occupations.Another potential explanation is the complex algorithms that run search engines.“Consistently, we find that the algorithm appears to be privileging male content.” For one, it is easier to avoid gender bias in language. Images of occupations, however, force the communicator to convey gender. For another, they are“particularly sticky in our mind,” Guilbeault added, describing what's known as the picture-superiority effect. Research also suggests images are more easily processed,remembered, and emotionally powerful.
“We’ re moving toward a visual communication culture,” Guilbeault says.“It’ s a way of communicating that is making us more vulnerable to stereotypes and making them stronger, unless we intervene with some social movement, different norms and cultures that weaken that.” As images prove to be“a more psychologically potent vehicle for representing stereotypes,”Guilbeault warns,“the medium is the message.”
32. What are participants asked to do in the experiments?
A. Recruit volunteers. B. Draw self-images.
C. Google descriptions of jobs. D. Reinforce the gender stereotype.
33. What does Guilbeault's statement in Paragraph 3 imply?
A. It's easily-corrected bias B. It's deep-rooted prejudice.
C. It's short-lived phenomenon. D. It's quickly-forgotten impression.
34. Which of the following statements may Guilbeault approve of?
A. The algorithms may systematically favor male-associated content.
B. The visual medium seldom conveys gender information.
C. People are withdrawing from gender stereotypes.
D. The effect brought by pictures is temporary.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Written communication will be replaced in the future.
B. Search engines should prioritize female-related content.
C. Images convey occupational information more accurately.
D. The nature of the visual medium itself strengthens stereotypes.

Why Friends Don't Always Text Back?
Texting back can sometimes be a tough task, even when it comes to conversations we genuinely desire. 36 According to the World Economic Forum,31% of people experience daily stress related to texting. Nearly 1 in 5 struggle to keep up with replies. Why is it so hard to text back?
We are emotionally overloaded
For those working in specific professions such as teaching, social work, or medical care, the emotional labor already requires significant psychological energy. 37 It is the mental exhaustion that accumulates after making decisions all day. So, we may delay responding not out of neglect but simply because we have nothing left to give.
Texting feels like optional
Unlike telephone chats, texting doesn't require any immediate back-and-forth response. So,there's often a socially accepted delay between receiving a message and replying to it. 38 That is, we remember unfinished tasks more acutely than completed ones. We might read a message,mentally respond, and intend to write back. Yet once the moment of emotional urgency passes, the message slips into the back of our mind.
Individual factors
Even when someone wants to reply, the multiple steps can feel overwhelming, like remembering the context, deciding the tone, and sketching a response. 39 But rather, it's just a difference in how individual brains process tasks.
What you can do
If you' re on the receiving end of a sole-responding friend, consider what else might be going on under the surface. If you' re the one who has difficulty texting back, a more proactive interaction with friends in person might help. Just remember: 40 .
A. This intention-action gap doesn't mean indifference.
B. Fortunately, psychological evidence can ease that guilt.
C. What worsens it more is Decision Fatigue.
D. A text delayed doesn't have to mean a relationship lost.
E. Actually, not responding to texts is relatively commonplace.
F. This can cause unexpected costly outcomes.
G. But this activates another psychological phenomenon.

As the saying goes, what's done to children shapes their future conduct toward society. I once doubted whether it was proper for my little son—— Tyler, a disabled boy with damaged 41 and even unable to speak, to take PE class in a wheelchair.
Tyler and his sister Elizabeth studied at Little Harbour School, whose PE teacher Steve was respected for his passion and 42 . One day Elizabeth casually told me she’ d push Tyler’ s wheelchair in PE. Shocked, I thought the arrangement was 43 yet kept silent out of trust in Steve.
Days later, I arrived early to 44 my kids and was in the perfect 45 where I could peek(偷看) through the gym's door and see what they were doing. During a relay race, Elizabeth pushed Tyler's wheelchair across the gym with all her 46 .
“Way to go, Tyler!” they 47 .
“Was that fun, Tyler?” another one asked.
Right after they finished, Elizabeth and her pals 48 Tyler, cheering warmly, hugging him and patting on his shoulders to praise his effort. At that moment, I didn't know if Tyler felt their 49. I didn't know if he enjoyed the 50 on his face when his wheelchair was pushed quickly across the gym. And I didn't know if he experienced 51 or laughter inside his peace and quiet.What I do know is this: a touching miracle 52 . Ignoring discrimination(歧视), kids treated the physically and mentally 53 Tyler with full tolerance, learning to convey care with sincere love instead of 54. Though Tyler could not talk, he sensed the kindness around him. Standing behind the door, I was moved to tears by the 55 compassion among children and their teachers.

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。
It all started in the most unexpected way. I had just moved to a new city for college, leaving behind everything familiar. The excitement of new beginnings was mixed with a deep sense of uncertainty. The campus was bustling with energy, but I felt like an outsider, trying to find my place in this new world.
On my first day, I met Sarah. She was my roommate, and we were both nervous about the journey ahead. Despite our initial awkwardness, we quickly discovered that we had a lot in common. Our shared interests in books, music, and late-night discussions became the solid foundation of our friendship.
Sarah had a knack for seeing the best in people. Her unwavering support and encouragement pushed me to step out of my comfort zone. She urged me to join clubs, attend workshops, and take up leadership roles. Her belief in me was contagious, and soon I started to believe in myself, too.
The real turning point came with the annual college fest, when Sarah convinced me to participate in a talent show. I had always loved singing, but the fear of performing in front of a crowd had always held me back. Sarah, on the other hand, was a natural performer.“We’ ll do a duet(双人合唱),” she smiled, leaving no room for my refusal.
The night of the talent show arrived. As we stood backstage, I could feel my heart pounding wildly against my ribs. Sensing my terror, Sarah tightly held my hand and whispered,“We've got this. Just focus on the music and forget about everything else.” Before I could respond, the host loudly announced our names through the microphone.
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。
As we stepped onto the stage, the blinding lights and the roaring crowd made my mind go completely blank.
Just as panic was about to consume me, Sarah turned to look at me and started the first line.
