In spring 2017, Avila Pinedo and her classmates from Garey High School founded the school’s first invention club. Noticing their low-income community’s high diabetes (糖尿病) rate and insufficient healthcare access, the team planned to invent a toenail-cutting tool for diabetic patients. Surprisingly, after submitting the idea to Lemelson-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Lemelson-MIT), the Garey High group was awarded one of the 15 InvenTeams for 2017-2018.
Yet subsequently, the teens questioned their proposed invention due to sharp-tool risks. Concerned about the new direction, they approached the Lemelson-MIT Program for advice, where Leigh Estabrooks, a seasoned academic, encouraged them, “Invention advances; changes and adjustments are common — that’s the process.” Despite the change in plans, Estabrooks praised the community-centered approach.
With renewed determination, the team resolved to develop a tool to monitor blood oxygen levels in diabetics' feet. This shift was essential and demanded considerable effort. Avila Pinedo recalled the team invested every spare moment in research.
Each team member performed specific functions in the process. Avila Pinedo led the development of the sensor (传感器) that measured blood oxygen levels. Lacking prior technical skills, Avila Pinedo determined to employ online resources to acquire how to build the electrical system and finally built the sensor. “Invention offers a chance to explore the boundaries of your creativity and capabilities and unlock the power of the invention mindset. It doesn’t mean you must know how to build a sensor, but you do need to take responsibility for your own education,” Pinedo said. Ultimately, under the team’s cooperation, their invention, named Heart and Sole, became a reality.
The experience lit Avila Pinedo’s passion, inspiring her to serve as an advisor to primary pupils recently. Guiding them through hands-on engineering and programming for a STEM initiative, she said. “Invention is transformational,” witnessing its empowering influence on InvenTeamers and others who realize that applying imagination and concepts can unlock fresh prospects, therefore motivating them to further explore education with the belief that invention is accessible to all.
4. What motivated the club’s invention
A．Expectation from Garey High School.
B．Community health issues.
C．Regional income inequality.
D．Requirements from InvenTeams.
5. Which of the following would Estabrooks agree concerning invention
A．Redesigns are natural.
B．Original plans are the key.
C．Instructions determine success.
D．Academic support counts.
6. What contributed to Avila Pinedo’s success in developing the sensor
A．Constant trials.
B．Self-directed learning.
C．Financial backing.
D．Risk-taking mindset.
7. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To introduce Avila Pinedo’s future plan.
B．To show the prospect of Heart and Sole.
C．To acknowledge the InvenTeam’s devotion.
D．To stress the nature and impact of invention.
C
The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D. C., real estate developers see potential.
Cities across the U. S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D. C. are now hoping that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.
A project in D. C. which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion in the city. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with the rent around $ 4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing (经济适用房). “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.”
“The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand.
The decline of manufacturing in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.
8. What are cities like D. C. attempting to do
A．Repurpose empty offices.
B．Build new houses in suburbs.
C．Knock down unused buildings.
D．Encourage working from home.
9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3
A．It requires structural changes.
B．It targets low-income families.
C．It is funded by the government.
D．It balances profit and social needs.
10. How does Tracy Loh view the conversion
A．Realistic.
B．Influential.
C．Demanding.
D．Short-sighted.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Cities Are Caught in Crisis
B．Offices Are Becoming Homes
C．Housing Demand Is Crying for More
D．Manufacturing Is Making A Comeback

You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. It is how today’s Internet works.
To better understand this gap, researchers surveyed 1,090 adults and found that people dramatically overestimate how common harmful behavior on the Internet is. On Reddit, participants thought harmful commenters were 13 times more common, estimating 43% of users post harmful content, while the actual figure is just 3%. Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority.
Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms (算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks (僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular.
Measuring online harmful content is tricky, as automated tools often miss unobvious aggressive remarks. But what matters more is not “how harmful is the Internet,” but what ordinary users perceive as normal. Social psychologists call this dynamic “pluralistic ignorance”: people privately reject harmful norms but go along with them publicly. This misconception formed online creates a dangerous gap, fueling public distrust, preventing public participation, and lowering moral standards — if we think “everyone is awful,” we’re less likely to be kind.
While there is no silver bullet, practical steps — rooted in policy and personal awareness — can narrow the gap. The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again.
12. What does the underlined word “dissonance” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Disorder.
B．Prejudice.
C．Contrast.
D．Debate.
13. What does the “majority illusion” refer to in the text
A．A false impression.
B．A harmful behavior.
C．An overestimated post.
D．A minority of commenters.
14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Why global web traffic misleads people.
B．Why the minority feels like the majority.
C．How we identify online harmful content.
D．What harm online misconception causes.
15. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph
A．Acting like the loudest few.
B．Improving moral standards.
C．Avoiding online engagement.
D．Valuing real-life interactions.

Many teens have chatted with AI chatbots, which can be helpful. However, this technology isn’t designed for youngsters, and problems can arise if no proper guidance is provided. 16
Value your own voice. You have experiences, ideas and feelings that matter. You should feel proud to make your unique voice heard. A chatbot may act like a person but it doesn’t have feelings or lived experience. 17 So you should ask yourself whether you really want help from something that can’t actually know your feelings.
18 Robots can’t understand you and your problems the way a real friend or doctor can. When you need help, feel confident to seek out real people. “You should get real answers from people that actually know you,” says Linda Charmaraman, who directs the Youth, Media & Wellbeing research lab at Wellesley College.
Avoid empty praise. A true friend will call you out when you do something wrong, which helps you learn and grow. But chatbots love to shower praise. They’ll agree with almost anything you say. 19 However, if you rely on chatbots for help in social situations, you may fail to learn it when you’ve made a mistake.
Beware of made-up facts. Honest people say “I don’t know” when they are unsure, but AI rarely does so. 20 These false responses can cause trouble. Remember: something sounding smart doesn’t mean it’s true. If you use bot-generated content, you’re responsible for it.
A．Consult real people for tips.
B．Assess solutions from chatbots.
C．Here are key tips for talking to AI chatbots.
D．Bots tend to confidently answer every question.
E．But it is necessary to learn how to use AI chatbots.
F．Yet those are important things that make us human.
G．This tendency is helpful if you need a confidence boost.

I discovered I had a 30 for seeing patterns in the game and for teaching. The players responded well, and their improvement gave me a sense of 31 I hadn’t felt since my injury.
I ended up 32 my university plans. Instead, I enrolled in a local college to study sports science and coaching. My path had taken an unexpected detour (绕行的路), but it led me to a 33 I now love even more.
The injury didn’t 34 my dream; it transformed it. It taught me that resilience isn’t just about getting back up. Sometimes, it’s about having the courage to 35 a new dream when the old one seems lost. The road may be different, but it can still lead to a beautiful destination.

Grace and Ellen, both promising in their school’s dance competition, were fierce competitors. They both had great passion for dancing and dreamed for bigger stages. They were both friends and competitors. They had similar taste in music, and had similar dressing styles. Even they wore shoes of the same size. They had both committed themselves to preparing for the upcoming contest.
Grace’s journey to the competition was marked by countless hours of practice and determination. She would rise before the sun, and the studio lights were her only company. Every movement was perfected with unwavering commitment. She knew that this competition wasn’t just about personal success; it was also about upholding her school’s honor. “Grace, you’re incredible!” Grace’s dance instructor, Mrs. Anderson, often praised her. “Your hard work will pay off.”
Ellen had been practicing hard for this competition as well. Her love for dance was her driving force. After school, she would head straight to the dance studio, tirelessly perfecting every step and twirl. Her dance shoes had become an extension of her feet, and her heart burned with a strong desire for victory. “Ellen, you’re a natural,” her fellow dancers would often say. “You’ve got this!”
The day of the competition finally arrived, and there were five competitors fighting for the championship title. Ellen was scheduled to perform before Grace.
As Ellen stood backstage, the butterflies in her stomach seemed to have turned into a whirlwind (漩涡). She checked her dance shoes one last time and realized a huge mistake. The shoes themselves were a size too small—It turned out she took her little sister’s shoes by mistake. Panic set in as her mind raced for solution.
“Ellen, you’re up next!” the stage manager announced.
In the dimly lit (灰暗的) backstage area, Grace overheard Ellen’s whispers to her friend, Sarah.
“I brought the wrong shoes, Sarah,” Ellen’s voice trembled (颤抖). “They are too small. What am I going to do ”
Grace’s heart sank as she overheard the conversation.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按答题卡相应位置作答。
Grace knew her shoes would fit Ellen perfectly, but she hesitated.

第二节 读后续写范文
Grace knew her shoes would fit Ellen perfectly, but she hesitated. After all, they were fierce rivals for the championship. If Ellen failed to perform well, she would have a bigger chance to win. However, looking at Ellen’s anxious face, Grace soon made up her mind. Friendship meant more than a competition. She walked up to Ellen quickly and took off her own dance shoes, handing them to her without hesitation.
Tears of gratitude welled up in Ellen’s eyes as she slipped into Grace’s shoes. She gave Grace a warm hug and stepped onto the stage confidently. She danced beautifully and won loud applause. Later, Grace also gave a wonderful performance. Neither of them minded the result. They both realized that true friendship shines brighter than any prize. From then on, they practiced together more happily, cheering for each other all the way.
