In the quiet oil town of Drumright, Oklahoma — where the highway passes by empty shops and the population is just under 3,000 — Sarah Hagan is rewriting the rules of math education.
The 25-year-old teacher, who turned down opportunities in bigger cities, now spends her days in a once-worn-out classroom at Drumright High School, earning barely $30,000 a year. “When they offered me the job in April before graduation, I just said ‘yes’,” recalls Hagan, whose passion outweighs the district’s limited resources.
What began as a simple room with uneven floorboards and mismatched walls has become a lively math space under Hagan’s care. Every surface bursts with colorful creations: posters and paper fill every corner and a handmade sign declares her the “Teacher of Awesome (Math).” This transformation mirrors her revolutionary approach to education — one that relies not only on textbooks but also on student-crafted learning journals filled with origami folds (折纸), hand-drawn diagrams, and lessons printed on rainbow-colored paper.
Hagan’s classroom is full of unconventional energy: algebra becomes speed-dating as students pair up to name polynomials (多项式) and spaghetti strands (意大利面) demonstrate geometric principles. “She makes us forget we’re learning,” says Jake Williams. Even math haters like Taylor Russell find themselves engaged: “This year, I actually love it.”
The young educator’s “A, B, or Not Yet” grading system rules out failure as an option. Students reattempt assignments until they master the material, with Hagan routinely staying hours after school to provide support. During lunch breaks, students gather in her office for help with all subjects, not just math.
Fellow teacher Melinda Parker voices what many think: “We’re so lucky to have her in Drumright.” Though the workload sometimes wears her out, her commitment never declines. In rare free moments, she shares her innovative methods through her blog, appropriately titled Math equals Love — a philosophy that continues to transform lives in this unlikely corner of rural Oklahoma.
4. Why does the author mention the condition of Drumright
A. To describe the falling of an oil town.
B. To highlight the value of Hagan’s choice.
C. To present the challenges of math education.
D. To inspire more donations of teaching resources.
5. What is the key principle behind Hagan’s revolutionary teaching method
A. Involve me and I learn. B. Teach others to teach yourself.
C. Learn and grow together. D. Seek truth from inner peace.
6. How does Sarah Hagan teach polynomials
A. By using traditional textbooks. B. Through math speed-dating activities.
C. By inventing the grading system. D. Through office dialogues after class.
7. What is the best title of the text
A. The Teacher Believing Math equals Love B. Teacher of Awesome: A Director of Vision
C. Talented Students Inspired D. DIY Math: The Rules rewriten
C
Traffic jams in Japan not only contribute to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) but also cause economic losses annually. A group of Japanese researchers have developed a new spatiotemporal (时空的) artificial intelligence (AI) technology, known as QTNN, to predict the location and length of upcoming traffic jams.
QTNN first uses deep learning to predict the average speed and traffic volume at each intersection on the basis of jams and road network data for numerous roads. Next, it predicts the traffic jam length while correcting the traffic flow model used in traffic engineering. Through this two-step prediction method, the group achieved traffic jam prediction consistent with the knowledge from traffic engineering by using cutting-edge deep learning.
A test was performed using the data provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to predict — one hour in advance — the length of traffic jams on 1,098 roads in Tokyo over two months. The company achieved a highly accurate prediction with an average error of less than 40m by accurately predicting instances of severe traffic jams as well as no traffic jams. The results indicate a 12.6% reduction in prediction error as compared to currently considered state-of-the-art deep learning methods.
Plus, QTNN was able to find that the number of incoming vehicles increases dramatically around 6:00 a. m., and the length of the jam soars significantly. Traffic volumes and average speeds decrease as jam peaks. However, owing to a certain amount of traffic on the nearby roads that started diverting (分流), this jam would continue until 10:00 a.m.
QTNN is being considered by the Metropolitan Police Department in its project to upgrade traffic control systems using AI and big data. They plan to conduct evaluation tests on some roads to prove the reliability of the technology in preparation for full operation in a real-world environment. Furthermore, the project aims to realize a spatiotemporal AI technology that will serve as a foundation for urban operation, flexibly employing information on signal control, road construction, and accident occurrence to predict traffic jam length.
8. What is the core idea behind QTNN
A. Combining AI and traffic engineering. B. Adding indicators to the traffic model.
C. Relying on a data-driven prediction. D. Setting up a road network database.
9. What do we know about the prediction test
A. It won government funding. B. It targeted the busiest roads.
C. It mirrored real traffic environment. D. It advocated observing traffic rules.
10. What does the underlined word “soars” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Declines. B. Varies. C. Interrupts. D. Grows.
11. What is the ultimate goal of the project that plans to use QTTN
A. To make roads available. B. To keep cities habitable.
C. To help direct visitors. D. To reduce car crashes.
D
Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence.
Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife called them “threatened” in 1989, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) did the same a year later. This year, California took a further step, declaring them “endangered” under the state’s Endangered Species Act — meaning they may go extinct without proper management.
Krysten Kellum, a state agency spokesperson, said this status change could help get more funds for their protection. Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years.
Luckily, nonprofits like the Mojave Desert Land Trust still work to protect the tortoises and their habitat. Finding tortoises is hard because they spend most of their time underground in burrows (洞穴) to escape heat and predators like mountain lions. Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is “death from a thousand cuts” — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. Climate change makes temperatures higher and droughts longer. A study during California’s 2012-2016 drought found fewer female tortoises, as laying eggs uses much water and protein, which is worse in droughts.
Tortoises are important “ecosystem engineers”. They dig 7 to 17 burrows yearly, and abandoned ones become homes for other animals. Losing them would harm the whole ecosystem. Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them.
12. Why are the Mojave Desert tortoises harder to spot
A. Because they have migrated to completely new regions.
B. Because their population has declined significantly.
C. Because their patterned shells provide perfect shelters.
D. Because they are hiding from human beings.
13. What do Kristina Drake’s words show about federal support
A. It increases because of public demand. B. It will raise more federal money.
C. It focused on other species instead. D. It is limited due to staff and budget issues.
14. What can be the cause of the Mojave Desert tortoise’s decline
A. It is the result of a complex combination of factors.
B. It is primarily due to a single and identifiable threat.
C It is mainly caused by a lack of public awareness.
D. It is directly linked to a specific disease outbreak.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A The living habits of Mojave Desert tortoises.
B. The reasons for declaring tortoises endangered.
C. The efforts to protect Mojave Desert tortoises.
D. The impact of climate change on tortoises.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Once upon a time societies were organized around religion, then around industry. But something else is becoming more important in today’s world: information. ____16____ And the technology that we use to do this is called information—hour news, e-commerce, international communication, mobile phones, global positioning systems. All these are making the world smaller and faster.
The growth in telecommunications is now giving more and more people access to the science that will help their country develop, or to the medical knowledge that can fight disease. It is starting a real global village, where people only dreamed of a generation ago.
____17____ Billions of people cannot read those words because they do not have access to a computer. They don’t understand English either—the language that around half of the information on the Internet is written in. They don’t even have a telephone. They are more worried about how far they will have to walk today to get clean water or if they can feed themselves and their families. For most people on this planet, information is not a priority.
The contrast between countries that have information technology and those that don’t is called the “digital divide”. Scandinavia and South East Asia have a high number of people who use Information and Communication technologies. ____18____
The United Nations is trying to make the information society a reality for more of the world’s developing world. ____19____ It wants to see rich countries share their technology and knowledge to poorer nations. This will improve business, medicine, science and agriculture, and create new opportunities and employment. At the same time, cultures, languages and traditions will become stronger.
World internet use has been growing massively—by about a billion users every five years—and now nearly half of the world is connected to the Internet.
But does information come with freedom ____20____ Information is power, so who will people share it Doesn’t more information mean fewer jobs And how can most of the world’s people keep local cultures alive if most of them are only connected to broadband and outside media in one language
A. The digital divide will soon disappear completely.
B. It focuses on sharing technology, care and education.
C. Central Africa and the Pacific have relatively very few.
D. There are still many questions about the information age.
E. Information is flowing around the world every hour of every day.
F. What about the impact of information on different aspects of life
G. But can everybody in the world share the recent technological advances

That couldn’t be the ____30____, though. People ____31____ me to turn the old maple into tables, shelves, guitars or bowls. I ____32____ their advice.
Now, instead of gazing up at the tree, I can ____33____ her in my hands. The bowls are silky ____34____, not rough like her bark; they’re light-colored, not dark.

We do our best to teach our kids everything they need to handle what life throws at them, but sometimes they are simply born with the right instincts (本能). This was proven by four-year-old Kyndal Bradley during a crisis at daycare.
After Kyndal Bradley had breakfast, her mom, Taylor Moore, sent her to the kindergarten as usual. She felt as happy as usual. On arriving at the kindergarten, she greeted her classmates and teachers as warmly as before. She placed her schoolbag in the fixed shelf and played together with her classmates cheerfully. As a matter of fact, Kyndal did enjoy her time at the kindergarten.
The morning started with language lesson, during which she learned how to spell and pronounce English words. She focused her attention on the lesson and she did master what she was taught. Then it came to the second class, which is about reading and sharing stories. Teacher Ms. Henderson was reading a book when she suddenly stopped. She made a strange noise. Her body became straight and still and then fell backwards onto the floor. Her arms and legs started shaking violently, knocking over those nearby blocks. The room was in chaos. Several children screamed and cried. Others froze and held their toys tight, at a loss what to do. Some just stared silently at their teacher’s frightening movements. With no adult present, the once happy classroom was now full of confusion and fear.
Kyndal, sitting near the front, jumped back, covering her mouth. Fear flashed on her face, but it quickly turned to a sudden determination. While other kids were in a panic, Kyndal didn’t freeze or cry. She soon took action. Remembering that help was in the main office down the hall, she rose to her feet. She ran around tables and toys to the heavy classroom door. Using all her strength, she pushed hard until it opened enough for her to slip out.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Kyndal burst into the office, out of breath but focused.

In the quiet oil town of Drumright, Oklahoma — where the highway passes by empty shops and the population is just under 3,000 — Sarah Hagan is rewriting the rules of math education.
The 25-year-old teacher, who turned down opportunities in bigger cities, now spends her days in a once-worn-out classroom at Drumright High School, earning barely $30,000 a year. “When they offered me the job in April before graduation, I just said ‘yes’,” recalls Hagan, whose passion outweighs the district’s limited resources.
What began as a simple room with uneven floorboards and mismatched walls has become a lively math space under Hagan’s care. Every surface bursts with colorful creations: posters and paper fill every corner and a handmade sign declares her the “Teacher of Awesome (Math).” This transformation mirrors her revolutionary approach to education — one that relies not only on textbooks but also on student-crafted learning journals filled with origami folds (折纸), hand-drawn diagrams, and lessons printed on rainbow-colored paper.
Hagan’s classroom is full of unconventional energy: algebra becomes speed-dating as students pair up to name polynomials (多项式) and spaghetti strands (意大利面) demonstrate geometric principles. “She makes us forget we’re learning,” says Jake Williams. Even math haters like Taylor Russell find themselves engaged: “This year, I actually love it.”
The young educator’s “A, B, or Not Yet” grading system rules out failure as an option. Students reattempt assignments until they master the material, with Hagan routinely staying hours after school to provide support. During lunch breaks, students gather in her office for help with all subjects, not just math.
Fellow teacher Melinda Parker voices what many think: “We’re so lucky to have her in Drumright.” Though the workload sometimes wears her out, her commitment never declines. In rare free moments, she shares her innovative methods through her blog, appropriately titled Math equals Love — a philosophy that continues to transform lives in this unlikely corner of rural Oklahoma.
4. Why does the author mention the condition of Drumright
A. To describe the falling of an oil town.
B. To highlight the value of Hagan’s choice.
C. To present the challenges of math education.
D. To inspire more donations of teaching resources.
5. What is the key principle behind Hagan’s revolutionary teaching method
A. Involve me and I learn. B. Teach others to teach yourself.
C. Learn and grow together. D. Seek truth from inner peace.
6. How does Sarah Hagan teach polynomials
A. By using traditional textbooks. B. Through math speed-dating activities.
C. By inventing the grading system. D. Through office dialogues after class.
7. What is the best title of the text

Traffic jams in Japan not only contribute to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) but also cause economic losses annually. A group of Japanese researchers have developed a new spatiotemporal (时空的) artificial intelligence (AI) technology, known as QTNN, to predict the location and length of upcoming traffic jams.
QTNN first uses deep learning to predict the average speed and traffic volume at each intersection on the basis of jams and road network data for numerous roads. Next, it predicts the traffic jam length while correcting the traffic flow model used in traffic engineering. Through this two-step prediction method, the group achieved traffic jam prediction consistent with the knowledge from traffic engineering by using cutting-edge deep learning.
A test was performed using the data provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to predict — one hour in advance — the length of traffic jams on 1,098 roads in Tokyo over two months. The company achieved a highly accurate prediction with an average error of less than 40m by accurately predicting instances of severe traffic jams as well as no traffic jams. The results indicate a 12.6% reduction in prediction error as compared to currently considered state-of-the-art deep learning methods.
Plus, QTNN was able to find that the number of incoming vehicles increases dramatically around 6:00 a. m., and the length of the jam soars significantly. Traffic volumes and average speeds decrease as jam peaks. However, owing to a certain amount of traffic on the nearby roads that started diverting (分流), this jam would continue until 10:00 a.m.
QTNN is being considered by the Metropolitan Police Department in its project to upgrade traffic control systems using AI and big data. They plan to conduct evaluation tests on some roads to prove the reliability of the technology in preparation for full operation in a real-world environment. Furthermore, the project aims to realize a spatiotemporal AI technology that will serve as a foundation for urban operation, flexibly employing information on signal control, road construction, and accident occurrence to predict traffic jam length.
8. What is the core idea behind QTNN
A. Combining AI and traffic engineering. B. Adding indicators to the traffic model.
C. Relying on a data-driven prediction. D. Setting up a road network database.
9. What do we know about the prediction test
A. It won government funding. B. It targeted the busiest roads.
C. It mirrored real traffic environment. D. It advocated observing traffic rules.
10. What does the underlined word “soars” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Declines. B. Varies. C. Interrupts. D. Grows.
11. What is the ultimate goal of the project that plans to use QTTN
A. To make roads available. B. To keep cities habitable.
C. To help direct visitors. D. To reduce car crashes.

Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence.
Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife called them “threatened” in 1989, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) did the same a year later. This year, California took a further step, declaring them “endangered” under the state’s Endangered Species Act — meaning they may go extinct without proper management.
Krysten Kellum, a state agency spokesperson, said this status change could help get more funds for their protection. Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years.
Luckily, nonprofits like the Mojave Desert Land Trust still work to protect the tortoises and their habitat. Finding tortoises is hard because they spend most of their time underground in burrows (洞穴) to escape heat and predators like mountain lions. Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is “death from a thousand cuts” — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. Climate change makes temperatures higher and droughts longer. A study during California’s 2012-2016 drought found fewer female tortoises, as laying eggs uses much water and protein, which is worse in droughts.
Tortoises are important “ecosystem engineers”. They dig 7 to 17 burrows yearly, and abandoned ones become homes for other animals. Losing them would harm the whole ecosystem. Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them.
12. Why are the Mojave Desert tortoises harder to spot
A. Because they have migrated to completely new regions.
B. Because their population has declined significantly.
C. Because their patterned shells provide perfect shelters.
D. Because they are hiding from human beings.
13. What do Kristina Drake’s words show about federal support
A. It increases because of public demand. B. It will raise more federal money.
C. It focused on other species instead. D. It is limited due to staff and budget issues.
14. What can be the cause of the Mojave Desert tortoise’s decline
A. It is the result of a complex combination of factors.
B. It is primarily due to a single and identifiable threat.
C It is mainly caused by a lack of public awareness.
D. It is directly linked to a specific disease outbreak.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A The living habits of Mojave Desert tortoises.
B. The reasons for declaring tortoises endangered.
C. The efforts to protect Mojave Desert tortoises.
D. The impact of climate change on tortoises.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We do our best to teach our kids everything they need to handle what life throws at them, but sometimes they are simply born with the right instincts (本能). This was proven by four-year-old Kyndal Bradley during a crisis at daycare.
After Kyndal Bradley had breakfast, her mom, Taylor Moore, sent her to the kindergarten as usual. She felt as happy as usual. On arriving at the kindergarten, she greeted her classmates and teachers as warmly as before. She placed her schoolbag in the fixed shelf and played together with her classmates cheerfully. As a matter of fact, Kyndal did enjoy her time at the kindergarten.
The morning started with language lesson, during which she learned how to spell and pronounce English words. She focused her attention on the lesson and she did master what she was taught. Then it came to the second class, which is about reading and sharing stories. Teacher Ms. Henderson was reading a book when she suddenly stopped. She made a strange noise. Her body became straight and still and then fell backwards onto the floor. Her arms and legs started shaking violently, knocking over those nearby blocks. The room was in chaos. Several children screamed and cried. Others froze and held their toys tight, at a loss what to do. Some just stared silently at their teacher’s frightening movements. With no adult present, the once happy classroom was now full of confusion and fear.
Kyndal, sitting near the front, jumped back, covering her mouth. Fear flashed on her face, but it quickly turned to a sudden determination. While other kids were in a panic, Kyndal didn’t freeze or cry. She soon took action. Remembering that help was in the main office down the hall, she rose to her feet. She ran around tables and toys to the heavy classroom door. Using all her strength, she pushed hard until it opened enough for her to slip out.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Kyndal burst into the office, out of breath but focused.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Her mom Moore knew nothing about her bravery until pickup time.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Kyndal burst into the office, out of breath but focused. She urgently pulled the daycare director’s sleeve. “Help! Help!” Kyndal shouted clearly. “Teacher fell! She’s shaking on the floor! Hurry, please!” She pointed straight back to her classroom. All the teachers in the office soon realized what had happened. They quickly ran out of the office and arrived at Kyndal’s childcare room. Soon, paramedics arrived quickly and took Ms. Henderson to the hospital for important care. Kyndal’s fast action and clear words did save her teacher’s life.
Her mom Moore knew nothing about her bravery until pickup time. Before Moore could ask questions, the childcare director told her directly. “There was a serious incident today with Ms. Henderson but Kyndal stayed calm, ran for help, and told us exactly what happened. She saved her teacher’s life,” she said gratefully. Moore was shocked at this news. Though Moore had taught her daughter some basics like her phone number and address, she had never thought to teach what to do in an emergency. In relief, Moore said that Kyndal had a born caring spirit. Moore is very proud of how Kyndal stayed calm during the scary event.
