[解析]
(1)观点态度题。根据文章第一段My heart raced when I saw the email sender's name.The email started off:"Dear Mr Green,thank you for your interest" and "the review process took longer than expected."It ended with"We are sorry to inform you…"and my vision blurred(当我看到电子邮件发件人的名字时,我的心跳加速。邮件开头写道:"亲爱的格林先生,感谢您的关注"和"审查过程比预期的要长。"它以"我们很抱歉地通知你……"结束,我的视线模糊了)可知作者在看到电子邮件发件人的名字时感到焦虑。故选A。
(2)细节理解题。根据文章第二段So I was shocked when,not long after the email,Professor Mary Devon,who was running the programme,invited me to observe the work being done in her lab.I jumped at the chance,and a few weeks later I was equally shocked﹣and overjoyed﹣when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab.What she proposed didn't seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to,but I was going to give it my all.(因此,当邮件发出后不久,项目负责人玛丽•德文教授邀请我去观察她实验室的工作时,我感到非常震惊。我欣然接受了这个机会,几周后,当她邀请我和她谈谈我可以在她的实验室里进行的潜在项目时,我同样感到震惊和欣喜。她提出的建议似乎没有我申请的最初项目那么令人兴奋,但我会全力以赴。)可知与德文教授交谈后,作者决定全心全意地投入实验室工作。故选D。
(3)推理判断题。根据文章第三段 I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely.That project,which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert,not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn't.In the end.I had a new scientific interest to pursue.(我发现自己正在和一位机器人学教授一起研究从沙漠中远程收集数据的技术。那个项目,我可以在我的沙发上完成,而不是在炎热的沙漠中,它不仅经受住了封锁,而且在传统方法不奏效的地方也奏效了。我有了新的科学兴趣去追求。)可知机器人学教授的项目很鼓舞人心。故选B。
(4)推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Rather than setting plans in stone,I've learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered,even if they don't sound perfect at the time,and make the most of them.(我明白了有时候我需要抓住提供的机会,即使这些机会在当时听起来并不完美,也要充分利用,而不是一成不变地制定计划。)可知本文主要讲述了最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。因此C.A rejection can be a redirection."拒绝可以是重定向"符合题意。故选C。
