Max was a boy who loved building things. His room was filled with Lego towers and cardboard robots. But his classmates often 11 him. “You're so strange,” they said. Max felt 12 and started to hide his creations in the closet.
One day, the school announced a science fair. The topic was “Inventions for a Better Life”. Max wanted to join, 13 he was afraid of being laughed at again. His mother noticed his worry and said, “Your ideas are wonderful. Don't let anyone 14 your light.”
Max decided to take part. He spent three weeks building a “Smart Cane” — a walking stick with small sensors that could detect obstacles (障碍物) and send vibrations (震动) to the user's hand. It was designed for blind people.
On the day of the fair, Max was 15. He placed his invention on the table and waited. Many students passed by without looking. Then a judge came. She asked Max to explain his invention. He took a deep breath and began. His voice was shaking at first, but soon he became more 16.
The judge was impressed. “This could really help people,” she said. Max won first prize. His classmates came to congratulate him. “We were wrong,” one of them said. “You're not strange. You're 17.”
From that day on, Max no longer hid his inventions. He started a club called “Creative Minds” to help other students who loved building things. He learned that being different is not a weakness — it is a 18.
His mother's words stayed with him: “The world needs people who think 19. Keep building, keep dreaming.”
Max now wants to become an engineer. He believes that one small idea can 20 the world. He often tells younger students, “Don't be afraid to be 21. Your difference might be the very thing that makes you 22.”

三、阅读理解（共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分）
阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Have you ever used a 3D printer In the past, 3D printers were very expensive and only used in factories. But now, cheaper and smaller 3D printers are entering schools, libraries and even homes.
A 3D printer works by melting plastic and then laying it down layer by layer to build an object. You first design the object on a computer using special software. Then you send the design to the printer, and it creates the object in a few hours.
Students in a middle school in Texas used a 3D printer to create prosthetic (假肢) hands for children who lost their fingers. The cost of one prosthetic hand was only $30, while traditional ones cost thousands of dollars. “We are not just making things. We are changing lives,” said one student.
However, 3D printers also raise concerns. Some people use them to print weapons (武器) or copy copyrighted (有版权的) products. Many countries are now making laws to control what can be printed.
Despite these problems, 3D printing technology continues to grow. It has been used to print houses, food, and even human organs (器官) in labs. The future of 3D printing is full of possibilities.
23. How does a 3D printer create an object
A. By cutting plastic into pieces. B. By melting and laying plastic layer by layer.
C. By painting on a flat surface. D. By using a mold to shape metal.
24. How much did the students' prosthetic hand cost
A. $30. B. $300. C. $3,000. D. $30,000.
25. What is one problem with 3D printers mentioned in the passage
A. They are too expensive for schools. B. They take too long to print.
C. They can be used to print weapons. D. They cannot print food.
B
When Sophia was 10 years old, she noticed that many stray (流浪的) cats in her neighborhood were hungry. She wanted to help, but she didn't have much money. So she came up with a creative idea — making and selling cat toys.
Sophia learned how to sew from her grandmother. She used old fabric from her mother's sewing basket and filled the toys with catnip (猫薄荷). She sold them at a local market for $3 each. In the first month, she sold 50 toys.
With the money, she bought cat food and built small feeding stations. She also worked with a local animal shelter to help get the cats adopted (领养).
News of Sophia's work spread. A TV station interviewed her. More people started to help. One company donated 500 pounds of cat food. Another donated blankets.
Now, at age 13, Sophia has helped more than 80 cats find new homes. She also teaches other children how to make cat toys. “You don't need to be a grown-up to make a difference,” she says. “You just need an idea and a kind heart.”
26. What problem did Sophia want to solve
A. Children having no toys. B. Stray cats being hungry.
C. Schools needing money. D. Old people feeling lonely.
27. How did Sophia raise money

C. Age does not stop you from helping. D. Stray cats are dangerous.
C
In 2025, a new kind of bus began operating in a city in Finland. It has no driver, no steering wheel, and no pedals. It is an autonomous (自动的) bus powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
The bus uses cameras, radar, and GPS to “see” the road. It can detect pedestrians, other vehicles, and traffic lights. It drives slowly — about 20 kilometers per hour — but it is very safe. In test runs, it never caused an accident.
The bus is small and can carry only 10 passengers. It runs on electricity and produces no pollution. Passengers can call the bus using a mobile app. The bus will come to their stop and take them to their destination.
“This is not a replacement for big buses or trains,” said the city's transport official. “It is for short trips — from a parking lot to a shopping center, or from a train station to an office park.”
Some people are excited about the new bus. Others worry about job losses for drivers. The city plans to add more driverless buses in the next three years. They believe that with time, people will accept them.
30. How does the driverless bus detect the road
A. By following a human driver. B. By using cameras, radar and GPS.
C. By reading road signs. D. By receiving signals from satellites only.
31. What is the speed of the driverless bus
A. About 10 km/h. B. About 20 km/h. C. About 50 km/h. D. About 80 km/h.
32. What is one concern people have about driverless buses
A. They are too fast. B. They cause too much pollution.
C. They might take away driving jobs. D. They cannot carry enough passengers.
33. What is the best title for this passage
A. The End of Human Drivers B. Finland's New Driverless Bus
C. How to Drive a Bus D. The Danger of AI in Transportation
D
Every year, millions of tons of food are thrown away around the world. In some countries, up to 40% of all food is wasted. This is not only a waste of money but also bad for the environment. When food rots in landfills, it produces methane (甲烷), a gas that makes global warming worse.
But some people are fighting food waste in creative ways. A supermarket in Denmark sells expired (过期的) food at very low prices. The food is still safe to eat, but it cannot be sold in normal stores. Customers save money, and less food goes to the landfill.
In France, a law passed in 2016 requires supermarkets to donate unsold food to charities. Other countries, like Italy and Japan, have similar laws.
Individuals can also help. Plan your meals before shopping. Store food correctly to keep it fresh. Use leftovers to make new dishes. And if you have extra food, give it to a food bank or a neighbor in need.
“Every piece of food we save is a small victory for the planet,” said an environmental activist. “Small actions add up.”
34. Why is food waste bad for the environment
A. Because it costs too much money. B. Because rotted food produces methane.
C. Because it makes people hungry. D. Because it uses too much water.
35. What do supermarkets in Denmark do with expired food
A. Throw it into the sea. B. Donate it to poor countries.
C. Sell it at low prices. D. Turn it into animal feed.
36. What does the writer suggest individuals do
A. Buy more food than they need. B. Throw away leftovers every day.
C. Use leftovers to make new dishes. D. Stop eating fresh food.

Ella was a 12-year-old girl who loved birds. She spent many hours watching them in the park near her home. She could tell the difference between a crow and a raven just by their calls.
One spring, Ella noticed that fewer birds were coming to the park. The park workers had cut down several old trees and replaced them with new buildings. Ella felt sad. She decided to do something.
She wrote a letter to the mayor (市长) of her town. In the letter, she explained why birds needed old trees. She also suggested building birdhouses in the park. She drew a simple design for the birdhouses.
The mayor was impressed by Ella's letter. He invited her to a town meeting. Ella stood in front of many adults and gave a short speech. She was nervous, but she spoke clearly.

七、书面表达（范文）
Teamwork is very important in our daily life. I still remember one experience that taught me the power of working together.
Last term, our class took part in a school “Clean the Park” activity. I was in a team of four. My job was to collect plastic bottles. Another member picked up snack bags, and two others cleaned the benches and paths. At first, we worked separately and moved slowly. Then we decided to help each other. I carried a large rubbish bag so my teammates could throw things in easily. We also took turns doing the heaviest work. By noon, we had cleaned the whole park — much faster than we expected.
From this experience, I learned that teamwork means sharing the work and supporting each other. When we work together, we can achieve more. No job is too big when everyone helps.
