B 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 For decades, scientists have debated whether protecting large, continuous habitats or fragmented(碎片化的)areas better addresses the biodiversity crisis. Recently, a new study in Nature has delivered a potentially decisive answer to the debate. “The heart of the debate,” explained lead author Thiago Gonçalves-Souza, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan, “is that supporters of fragmentation compare it to puzzle pieces–arguing that if we assume disconnected habitats develop unique species compositions, the total biodiversity across the entire landscape could increase, like grouping distinct patterns together into a more complex whole.” To test whether that assumption holds up in practice, a group of 28 scientists, people in Europe, South and Central America and Australia, gathered data from 37 studies of biodiversity covering six continents and more than 4,000 species. That data enabled them to check the number and kinds of species found in large sections of land against the same measurements from a collection of smaller fragments from similar ecosystems nearby. On a broad landscape level, the scientists found that fragmented areas had, on average,12%fewer species than continuous areas, with a shortage ranging from 10.7% to 18%. Even when accounting for differences in the amount of habitat, the shortage remained significant. This makes sense due to three key issues: disconnected areas prevent movement(e. g., large animals disappear without connected hunting grounds), exposed edges attract invaders(入侵者)and climate damage, and small populations weaken due to reproduction among relatives. These findings suggest that fragmented areas have lower ecological value. But does it mean conservation efforts should abandon small fragments? “Not necessarily,” said Gonçalves-Souza. “In many countries, there aren’t large, undamaged forests remaining. Therefore, our focus should be on planting new forests and recovering increasingly degraded habitats, which is crucial for the future, more so than debating whether it’s better to have one large forest or many smaller fragments.” 8. The comparison of puzzle pieces in paragraph 2 is used to show ______. A. how humans break apart nature B. why fragmented habitats need protection C. why species composition varies by habitat D. how habitat differences increase total biodiversity. 9. What did the gathered data serve as? A. A method for risk assessment. B. A guide for resource distribution. C. The foundation for comparative analysis. D. The evidence for further assumptions. 10. What can we learn about fragmentation in paragraph 4? A. It results in habitat connectivity. B. It weakens the growth of invasive species. C. It releases the potential of habitat recovery. D. It leads to a range of ecological disturbances. 11. What does Gonçalves-Souza suggest in the last paragraph? A. Abandoning small fragments. B. Advancing nature restoration. C. Protecting existing large forests. D. Exploring fragmentation impacts. D In many parts of the world, the volume of tourists has gone way beyond capacity point. Overtourism, as is known, is now so widespread that many communities are pushing back. In April, activists on Tenerife staged a hunger strike against the building of new tourist projects threatening local water resources. Similarly, Greek communities initiated the “towel movement” resisting the privatization of coastal spaces that displaced local traditional fishing. When you see so many people protesting so widely, it tells you that the balance has been lost. The idea that most people benefit from tourism is no longer so clear. Symptoms of overtourism range from everyday problems, such as locals being priced out of restaurants, to deeper issues like the corporate takeover of affordable housing, which has caused widespread public anger. “At the most insignificant level, overtourism makes visiting places less pleasant for those visiting,” says Adrian Phillips, managing director of Bradt Travel Guides. “Most of us would prefer to appreciate St Mark’s Square in Venice without having to compete for space. Besides, it can damage the local landscape, put pressure on local facilities, bend and change traditional culture.” Thailand’s historic city of Chiang Mai has recently charged a $147.5 fine for tourists wearing unsuitable clothing in temple zones, alongside cultural training for guides assisting international visitors, which comes as the city experiences an explosion in tourism, putting pressure on its culture. The Indonesian island of Bali, where by the middle of 2024, international tourism arrivals — 7.75million — surpassed those of all of 2019, is also seeing pushback against the rapid-fire expansion of tourism, with hotlines set up to report inappropriate behaviour by foreigners. In the long run, the key solution to reducing overtourism is to champion the advantages of the many wonderful spots away from the most heavily-visited tourist sites and encourage people to spread their tourist dollars more widely. Rather than set limits on the number of visitors or fine people for visiting famous landmarks, stakeholders should give full attention to the meaningful experiences, fair economic benefits, and sustainable practices that come with exploring alternatives. 12. Why did people in Tenerife and Greece protest? A. To increase income from tourism. B. To improve local service facilities. C. To safeguard the interests of locals. D. To prevent environmental destruction. 13. What does Adrian Phillips think of overtourism? A. It can be more than inconvenient. B. It reflects tourists’ psychological needs. C. It can be managed through better planning. D. It is a necessary stage in economic development. 14. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Plans to drive tourism growth. B. Efforts to develop local attractions. C. Approaches to cultural preservation. D. Responses to overtourism challenges. 15. Who might the underlined word “stakeholders” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Tourism officers. B. Travel behavior experts. C. Eco-minded travelers. D. Tourism investment analysts. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 A new art form that was distinctly American arose during the 1890s: the comic strip (连环漫画). To heighten its comedic effects, a sleeping character was sometimes needed. ___16___How to visually convince the audience that a character was asleep, instead of merely lying down? Visually and dynamically—crucial aspects for comics—portraying silent stillness isn’t easy. To solve this challenge, artists experimented with various techniques: facial expressions, sleeping poses, and even sounds like snoring(鼾声). ___17___ To translate the noisy act of snoring into visual language, early attempts relied on a mix of creative representations. These often took the form of letter combinations resembling snoring, such as zzggrrhh or z-z-c-r-r-k-k-k-k, or symbolic elements like stars and musical notes. ___18___ Its first documented use dates back to 1903 in Rudolph Dirks’ comic Katzenjammer Kids, where a snoring captain sleeps peacefully in his hammock(吊床), letting out Zzz. ___19___ In 1918, the American Dialect Society defined “z-z-z” as the “sound of whispering or snoring,” and by the 1940s, the phrase catch some Zs entered popular usage, which is a clear proof to Zzz’s widespread acceptance as the universal marker of sleep. ___20___ German, for example, uses chrr, and Japanese uses characters that sound like guu-guu. Chinese, meanwhile uses hu-lu. Though the regional onomatopoeia(拟声词)varies, Zzz has made its mark; it’s recognized internationally as a symbol for sleep. A. It most likely originated in media fields. B. This failed to achieve the expected effect. C. Further evidence solidified its dominance. D. The final solution was to highlight the sound. E. But comic artists ran into an interesting difficulty. F. Eventually, one representation stuck: the letters Zzz. G. Many languages have their own representations besides Zzz. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As humans, our longing for recognition can sometimes lead us off course.

Ms. Sandra, one of the few remaining masters of su filindeu, a handmade Italian pasta (意大利面), explained in the first class that this skill had been practiced for over 300 years and was the rarest of 350 pasta varieties worldwide. She emphasized, “Fewer than ten people in the world still master this skill. If we don’t act, the art will disappear.” The students fell silent realizing the importance of what they were learning. Then, with flour-dusted hands, Ms. Sandra shifted the mood. “Now, let me show you its magic.” The students leaned forward as she started the incredible transformation. She rolled the dough (面团) into a thick rope and then stretched it into 256 perfect strands (线). The classroom was filled with admiration as the teacher’s hands moved gracefully. For weeks, David and his classmates threw themselves into learning the skill of making su filindeu with Ms. Sandra’s help, but it didn’t come easily. The dough kept breaking or sticking together. Sometimes, they couldn’t stretch more than 16 strands. Still, they refused to quit, helping and encouraging each other as they improved little by little. One afternoon, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with heavy steps. She sighed, “The school board thinks our su filindeu class isn’t practical. They’ve decided to cancel it next term unless we can prove its value.” She added, “It’s true that machines can mass-produce pasta in minutes, but if we only value what’s fast and easy, we lose centuries of knowledge.” A wave of disappointment swept through the classroom. After a moment of silence, David stood up. “What if we let more people know about it? How about an exhibition?” he suggested. The class lit up with excitement. Inspired by their reaction, David immediately volunteered to organize the exhibition. Ms. Sandra watched, proud and hopeful. Perhaps, she thought, they really could work some magic. 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。 David and his classmates quickly got to work. ______________________________________________________________ The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile. ______________________________________ 第5页/共5页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$阅读理解A If you’re a middle school student interested in mathematics, CyberMath Academy’s Summer Math Camp at Harvard University could be a good choice!

To begin with, dedicating 8 hours to study shows responsibility. The morning session (9—12) aligns with peak brain efficiency, while evening study (18—23) is too long. Continuous learning for 5 hours may reduce productivity. We suggest adding short breaks every hour. Apart from what has been mentoined above, balancing entertainment (13—15 video games) and social time (15—17 friends) is wise for relaxation. However, scheduling games right after lunch might affect digestion. Moving it to 14—16 would allow a post-lunch rest. In conclusion, the plan values time management but could better balance study intensity and health. Thanks for listening! 续写 When David signed up for Ms. Sandra’s “Endangered Traditions” class at Willow High, he didn’t expect this class to be about saving history. Ms. Sandra, one of the few remaining masters of su filindeu, a handmade Italian pasta (意大利面), explained in the first class that this skill had been practiced for over 300 years and was the rarest of 350 pasta varieties worldwide. She emphasized, “Fewer than ten people in the world still master this skill. If we don’t act, the art will disappear.” The students fell silent realizing the importance of what they were learning. Then, with flour-dusted hands, Ms. Sandra shifted the mood. “Now, let me show you its magic.” The students leaned forward as she started the incredible transformation. She rolled the dough (面团) into a thick rope and then stretched it into 256 perfect strands (线). The classroom was filled with admiration as the teacher’s hands moved gracefully. For weeks, David and his classmates threw themselves into learning the skill of making su filindeu with Ms. Sandra’s help, but it didn’t come easily. The dough kept breaking or sticking together. Sometimes, they couldn’t stretch more than 16 strands. Still, they refused to quit, helping and encouraging each other as they improved little by little. One afternoon, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with heavy steps. She sighed, “The school board thinks our su filindeu class isn’t practical. They’ve decided to cancel it next term unless we can prove its value.” She added, “It’s true that machines can mass-produce pasta in minutes, but if we only value what’s fast and easy, we lose centuries of knowledge.” A wave of disappointment swept through the classroom. After a moment of silence, David stood up. “What if we let more people know about it? How about an exhibition?” he suggested. The class lit up with excitement. Inspired by their reaction, David immediately volunteered to organize the exhibition. Ms. Sandra watched, proud and hopeful. Perhaps, she thought, they really could work some magic. 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。 David and his classmates quickly got to work. ____________________ The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile. ________ David and his classmates quickly got to work. They spent days practicing the skill, determined to perfect it for the exhibition. David, who was in charge of organizing, contacted local media and invited community members. He knew that if they could show the beauty and history of su filindeu, people would appreciate it. On the day of the exhibition, the students demonstrated the process, explaining its significance. Many visitors were amazed by the skill, realizing that traditions like this should not be lost. The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile. She announced that the school board had decided to keep the class after seeing the positive response from the exhibition. “You’ve shown everyone the value of preserving traditions,” she said proudly. David and his classmates cheered, feeling a sense of accomplishment. They knew that their hard work had made a difference and that they had played a part in saving a piece of history. $$
