Some truths are so universal that even children grasp them. Whether obtaining a driver’s license, renewing an ID, or registering a vehicle, one truth remains undeniable: visiting the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is a a very bad modern experience.
Sowmya Nandyala, a 13-year-old from Texas, is several years away from earning her learner’s permit. But when her parents called in to schedule an appointment at their local DMV, they were put on a “six-month” waitlist. “The only quick option was driving 60 miles north,” Nandyala told Austin’s KVUE News. “It shocked me that nobody had solved such a widespread, long-standing issue.”
Using her STEM skills, Nandyala created DriveIt, an app that matches prospective clients with cancelled DMV appointments based on their zip code (邮政编码), distance, and preferred date. “We have a technology that automatically scans for appointments tailored to your preferences and then we automatically book it for you, saving you months of time,” Nandyala said. Just three months after DriveIt launched, Nandyala estimated her app had collectively saved customers over “10 years” of wait time. “John’s appointment changed from May 13th to April 8th, and the day he actually used DriveIt was April 8th,” Nandyala said. “He was able to get a same-day appointment through DriveIt and that saved him over a month and four days of time.”
Currently, DriveIt operates mostly in Texas, but Nandyala hopes to expand it to more states. Her goal is to eventually offer her services nationwide to help individuals across the country access DMV appointments with ease. From dealing with complex appointment systems to providing real-time updates, DriveIt is devoted to making the DMV journey efficient and stress-free. She said, “But our commitment goes beyond convenience — we’re empowering communities by giving individuals control over their time and access to vital services.”
The teen’s innovation highlights a broader lesson: When adults get used to broken systems, innovation-driven youth find smarter fixes. “Solutions often come,” Nandyala says, “from fresh ideas that don’t rely on old habits.”
4. What motivated Nandyala to develop DriveIt
A. Her family’s experience. B. Her parents’ request.
C A technology competition. D. A school STEM project.
5. Why does Nandyala mention John
A. To explain DriveIt’s technical process.
B. To emphasize the local DMV’s impact.
C. To criticize the local DMS’s low efficiency.
D. To demonstrate DriveIt’s time-saving advantage.
6. What does Paragraph 4 mainly discuss about DriveIt
A. Its operations in Texas. B. Its real-time technology.
C. Its nationwide expansion goals. D. Its international partnerships.
7. What does Nandyala’s statement imply about solving long-standing problems
A. Adults should strictly follow traditional methods.
B. Progress is driven by questioning outdated practices.
C. Technology alone can fix all systemic failures.
D. Young people need adult guidance to succeed.
C
If you’re not getting enough sleep, it will have a bad effect on the body — especially the heart. Poor sleep has been linked to high blood pressure and heart attack, and more.
One solution: catch up on your sleep when you can, especially on weekends. But while that may help you feel more rested, can it really get rid of the heart damage that comes from a sleep-poor work week According to a new study, it may.
The findings come from an analysis of nearly 91,000 people enrolled in the UK Biobank project. People reported how much sleep they got per night, and those averaging fewer than seven hours — about 22% of the sample group — were considered sleep-deprived (睡眠不足). People in the study briefly wore sleep-tracking devices that allowed the investigators to measure how much additional sleep they got over the weekend. The researchers then followed up on participants’ heart and blood vessel health 14 years later.
Sleep-deprived people who got more sleep on the weekend — sleeping at least 90 minutes more than they usually did during the week — had about a 20% lower risk of various illnesses, including heart failure and stroke, compared to people who slept the least on weekends.
Weekend catch-up sleep may have these effects in multiple ways. Heart rate slows during sleep and blood pressure can fall by 10% to 20%. Poor sleep can also lead to chronic inflammation (慢性炎症), which helps give rise to circulatory plaques (斑块), and catching up on sleep helps relieve that. According to another study, adults who sleep less than five hours a night also have a 200% to 300% increased risk of heart disease.
“Our results show that for the significant part of the population in modern society that suffers from sleep deprivation, those who have the most ‘catch-up’ sleep at weekends have significantly lower rates of heart disease than those with the least,” said study co-author Zechen Liu in a statement.
8. What does the new study focus on
A. Treating severe sleep disorders. B. Tracking modern people’s sleep habits.
C. Studying sleep deprivation effects. D. Analyzing Biobank’s research method.
9. How is Paragraph 3 developed
A. By providing examples. B. By presenting research data.
C. By citing statistical results. D. By explaining causes and effects.
10. Which health benefit is directly linked to weekend catch-up sleep
A. Lowering heart disease risk. B. Removing chronic inflammation.
C. Keeping high spirits. D. Improving the quality of sleep.
11. What is the purpose of citing Zechen Liu’s statement
A. To discuss research limitations. B. To highlight heart protection.
C. To compare sleep study methods. D. To explain data collection techniques.
D
The energy crisis hasn’t been a crisis for big fossil fuel panies like BP and Shell have posted greater profits in recent years with gas prices rising greatly. However, a number of families have fallen into fuel poverty in the UK, according to the charity National Energy Action.
Against this background, a quiet revolution has been taking place in the UK, where some communities are taking back energy independence. Encouraged by the falling cost of renewables, some communities across the country are beginning to meet their own energy needs, making them less vulnerable to price jumps, while reducing their carbon emissions at the same time.
One innovative community energy co-operative called South East London Community Energy (Selce) has taken on the double task of expanding the amount of local solar power and handling the growing issue of families being forced to choose between heating and eating. Over the last 10 years, Selce has raised more than 500,000 to provide free solar power for a dozen local community buildings — mostly primary schools. Each year, its team of trained energy advisors helps around 2,000 vulnerable families from falling into fuel debt. The Greenwich-based co-operative has also set up a range of free advice workshops and programs supported by government to help local homes with heat pumps (管道) and solar power. Meanwhile, the government has promised to provide greater support for the community energy department with low-interest loans. So, does this mean a sunny future for groups like Selce
“It’s definitely good news but we’re waiting to see the details,” says Camilla Berens, one communal director, “Certainly, we can’t stop everything. We live in an area where the support infrastructure (基础建设) is under incredible pressure.” However, she remains optimistic. “Whatever happens, we’ll carry on,” she says. “I really believe that community energy groups like Selce are playing a key role in building the path to a sustainable future.”
12. Why are some communities in the UK fighting for energy independence
A. To increase the influence of local groups.
B. To prevent families from fuel poverty.
C. To make use of the rising cost of renewables.
D. To gain more control over local resources.
13. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Devoted B. Known. C. Used. D. Exposed.
14. Which of the following best describes Selce
A. Pioneering and promising. B. Profit-driven and ambitious.
C. Incredible but impractical. D. Sustainable but ineffective.
15. Which would be the best title for the text
A. Heat or Eat: Households Face Food Poverty
B. Profit over People: Fossil Fuels Dominate Markets
C. Power to The People: The Rise of Community Energy
D. Revolution for Progress: Government Funds Clean Energy

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One evening, while my dad and I were randomly discussing finances, he unexpectedly asked, “Is the allowance (津贴) enough for your college fund ” The sincerity in his voice caught me off guard since I had no memory of ever receiving such an allowance. He told me he had asked my stepmom to send $500 every month to my account. Suddenly, a rush of confusion and curiosity flooded my mind.
The next day, I rushed to the bank with my heart beating fast. “There’s no record of your allowance,” the clerk said.
Defeated, I returned home, suspicion growing. “Do you know anything about my allowance ” I asked Stepmom. She froze for a second, and then smiled. “Don’t worry, dear.” But her smile didn’t reach her eyes. This made me more determined to solve the mystery. One night, I overheard my stepmother on the phone. “It’s for their own good.” What did that mean
One weekend I found a bunch of bills in her study. Among them was a letter from a community foundation, thanking her for continuous donations to their first-generation college scholarship program. Just then, my parents walked in and saw me holding the letter.
“Please let me explain,” Stepmom said, “Your father’s business has been struggling, but I didn’t want to increase his stress, so I used your allowance to pay urgent bills.” She added, “when I found the foundation’s scholarship for students like you — kids who dream of college but lack support, I started using your allowance there to help them.”
I stared at her, torn between surprise and understanding. “Why didn’t you tell us ” I asked, my voice shaking. She explained, “Your father worked so hard to establish that fund — I didn’t want him to feel frustrated. The fund also meant education access for you and for every student worth a chance. And I have been saving — look.” She pulled out a worn envelope from her desk, saying, “Lila’s College Fund.”
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。
I opened the envelope, hands trembling.

46. Transformations Brought by Two-Day Weekends
The two-day weekend policy has recently been adopted, significantly transforming students’ study and life patterns. It aims to strike a better balance between academic performance and personal well-being.
Now the weekends witness diverse activities among high school students. Some choose to review lessons or practice their academic exercises. Others explore their hobbies, such as painting and joining volunteer programs, which enrich their life experiences. Additionally, sports enthusiasts often play basketball or go cycling to relax and build physical strength.
Overall, though a few students struggle with time management, most quickly adapt. Not only does the policy relieve students’ stress, but it also boosts their enthusiasm for learning. With a refreshed mind, most students are more productive in class.
47. One possible version:
I opened the envelope, hands trembling. Inside was a carefully kept ledger, each entry dated and signed. My stepmom had secretly matched every dollar diverted from my allowance, depositing double the original amount into a separate account under my name. “I kept track of everything,” she said softly, pointing to the last entry — a sum large enough to cover my first year of tuition. My father, silent until now, pulled me into a hug. “We might not have much, but your education is non-negotiable,” he whispered. The room blurred as guilt and gratitude collided in my chest.
Tears dropped on the handwritten pages. Alongside the numbers, my stepmom had penned notes like “Lila’s 18th birthday — added $1,000 from my freelance work.” The foundation’s scholarship, I realized, was her way of turning temporary sacrifice into lasting impact. “I wanted you to see how money, even when scattered, can grow purpose,” she said. That night, I drafted my first donation to the foundation — a fraction of my savings, with a promise to pay it forward. My parents’ quiet resilience had rewritten the meaning of “enough”.

Some truths are so universal that even children grasp them. Whether obtaining a driver’s license, renewing an ID, or registering a vehicle, one truth remains undeniable: visiting the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is a a very bad modern experience.
Sowmya Nandyala, a 13-year-old from Texas, is several years away from earning her learner’s permit. But when her parents called in to schedule an appointment at their local DMV, they were put on a “six-month” waitlist. “The only quick option was driving 60 miles north,” Nandyala told Austin’s KVUE News. “It shocked me that nobody had solved such a widespread, long-standing issue.”
Using her STEM skills, Nandyala created DriveIt, an app that matches prospective clients with cancelled DMV appointments based on their zip code (邮政编码), distance, and preferred date. “We have a technology that automatically scans for appointments tailored to your preferences and then we automatically book it for you, saving you months of time,” Nandyala said. Just three months after DriveIt launched, Nandyala estimated her app had collectively saved customers over “10 years” of wait time. “John’s appointment changed from May 13th to April 8th, and the day he actually used DriveIt was April 8th,” Nandyala said. “He was able to get a same-day appointment through DriveIt and that saved him over a month and four days of time.”
Currently, DriveIt operates mostly in Texas, but Nandyala hopes to expand it to more states. Her goal is to eventually offer her services nationwide to help individuals across the country access DMV appointments with ease. From dealing with complex appointment systems to providing real-time updates, DriveIt is devoted to making the DMV journey efficient and stress-free. She said, “But our commitment goes beyond convenience — we’re empowering communities by giving individuals control over their time and access to vital services.”
The teen’s innovation highlights a broader lesson: When adults get used to broken systems, innovation-driven youth find smarter fixes. “Solutions often come,” Nandyala says, “from fresh ideas that don’t rely on old habits.”
4. What motivated Nandyala to develop DriveIt
A. Her family’s experience. B. Her parents’ request.
C A technology competition. D. A school STEM project.
5. Why does Nandyala mention John
A. To explain DriveIt’s technical process.
B. To emphasize the local DMV’s impact.
C. To criticize the local DMS’s low efficiency.
D. To demonstrate DriveIt’s time-saving advantage.
6. What does Paragraph 4 mainly discuss about DriveIt
A. Its operations in Texas. B. Its real-time technology.
C. Its nationwide expansion goals. D. Its international partnerships.
7. What does Nandyala’s statement imply about solving long-standing problems
A. Adults should strictly follow traditional methods.
B. Progress is driven by questioning outdated practices.
C. Technology alone can fix all systemic failures.
D. Young people need adult guidance to succeed.

If you’re not getting enough sleep, it will have a bad effect on the body — especially the heart. Poor sleep has been linked to high blood pressure and heart attack, and more.
One solution: catch up on your sleep when you can, especially on weekends. But while that may help you feel more rested, can it really get rid of the heart damage that comes from a sleep-poor work week According to a new study, it may.
The findings come from an analysis of nearly 91,000 people enrolled in the UK Biobank project. People reported how much sleep they got per night, and those averaging fewer than seven hours — about 22% of the sample group — were considered sleep-deprived (睡眠不足). People in the study briefly wore sleep-tracking devices that allowed the investigators to measure how much additional sleep they got over the weekend. The researchers then followed up on participants’ heart and blood vessel health 14 years later.
Sleep-deprived people who got more sleep on the weekend — sleeping at least 90 minutes more than they usually did during the week — had about a 20% lower risk of various illnesses, including heart failure and stroke, compared to people who slept the least on weekends.
Weekend catch-up sleep may have these effects in multiple ways. Heart rate slows during sleep and blood pressure can fall by 10% to 20%. Poor sleep can also lead to chronic inflammation (慢性炎症), which helps give rise to circulatory plaques (斑块), and catching up on sleep helps relieve that. According to another study, adults who sleep less than five hours a night also have a 200% to 300% increased risk of heart disease.
“Our results show that for the significant part of the population in modern society that suffers from sleep deprivation, those who have the most ‘catch-up’ sleep at weekends have significantly lower rates of heart disease than those with the least,” said study co-author Zechen Liu in a statement.
8. What does the new study focus on
A. Treating severe sleep disorders. B. Tracking modern people’s sleep habits.
C. Studying sleep deprivation effects. D. Analyzing Biobank’s research method.
9. How is Paragraph 3 developed
A. By providing examples. B. By presenting research data.
C. By citing statistical results. D. By explaining causes and effects.
10. Which health benefit is directly linked to weekend catch-up sleep
A. Lowering heart disease risk. B. Removing chronic inflammation.
C. Keeping high spirits. D. Improving the quality of sleep.
11. What is the purpose of citing Zechen Liu’s statement
A. To discuss research limitations. B. To highlight heart protection.
C. To compare sleep study methods. D. To explain data collection techniques.
D
The energy crisis hasn’t been a crisis for big fossil fuel panies like BP and Shell have posted greater profits in recent years with gas prices rising greatly. However, a number of families have fallen into fuel poverty in the UK, according to the charity National Energy Action.
Against this background, a quiet revolution has been taking place in the UK, where some communities are taking back energy independence. Encouraged by the falling cost of renewables, some communities across the country are beginning to meet their own energy needs, making them less vulnerable to price jumps, while reducing their carbon emissions at the same time.
One innovative community energy co-operative called South East London Community Energy (Selce) has taken on the double task of expanding the amount of local solar power and handling the growing issue of families being forced to choose between heating and eating. Over the last 10 years, Selce has raised more than 500,000 to provide free solar power for a dozen local community buildings — mostly primary schools. Each year, its team of trained energy advisors helps around 2,000 vulnerable families from falling into fuel debt. The Greenwich-based co-operative has also set up a range of free advice workshops and programs supported by government to help local homes with heat pumps (管道) and solar power. Meanwhile, the government has promised to provide greater support for the community energy department with low-interest loans. So, does this mean a sunny future for groups like Selce
“It’s definitely good news but we’re waiting to see the details,” says Camilla Berens, one communal director, “Certainly, we can’t stop everything. We live in an area where the support infrastructure (基础建设) is under incredible pressure.” However, she remains optimistic. “Whatever happens, we’ll carry on,” she says. “I really believe that community energy groups like Selce are playing a key role in building the path to a sustainable future.”
12. Why are some communities in the UK fighting for energy independence
A. To increase the influence of local groups.
B. To prevent families from fuel poverty.
C. To make use of the rising cost of renewables.
D. To gain more control over local resources.
13. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Devoted B. Known. C. Used. D. Exposed.
14. Which of the following best describes Selce
A. Pioneering and promising. B. Profit-driven and ambitious.
C. Incredible but impractical. D. Sustainable but ineffective.
15. Which would be the best title for the text
A. Heat or Eat: Households Face Food Poverty
B. Profit over People: Fossil Fuels Dominate Markets
C. Power to The People: The Rise of Community Energy
D. Revolution for Progress: Government Funds Clean Energy

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One evening, while my dad and I were randomly discussing finances, he unexpectedly asked, “Is the allowance (津贴) enough for your college fund ” The sincerity in his voice caught me off guard since I had no memory of ever receiving such an allowance. He told me he had asked my stepmom to send $500 every month to my account. Suddenly, a rush of confusion and curiosity flooded my mind.
The next day, I rushed to the bank with my heart beating fast. “There’s no record of your allowance,” the clerk said.
Defeated, I returned home, suspicion growing. “Do you know anything about my allowance ” I asked Stepmom. She froze for a second, and then smiled. “Don’t worry, dear.” But her smile didn’t reach her eyes. This made me more determined to solve the mystery. One night, I overheard my stepmother on the phone. “It’s for their own good.” What did that mean
One weekend I found a bunch of bills in her study. Among them was a letter from a community foundation, thanking her for continuous donations to their first-generation college scholarship program. Just then, my parents walked in and saw me holding the letter.
“Please let me explain,” Stepmom said, “Your father’s business has been struggling, but I didn’t want to increase his stress, so I used your allowance to pay urgent bills.” She added, “when I found the foundation’s scholarship for students like you — kids who dream of college but lack support, I started using your allowance there to help them.”
I stared at her, torn between surprise and understanding. “Why didn’t you tell us ” I asked, my voice shaking. She explained, “Your father worked so hard to establish that fund — I didn’t want him to feel frustrated. The fund also meant education access for you and for every student worth a chance. And I have been saving — look.” She pulled out a worn envelope from her desk, saying, “Lila’s College Fund.”

46. Transformations Brought by Two-Day Weekends
The two-day weekend policy has recently been adopted, significantly transforming students’ study and life patterns. It aims to strike a better balance between academic performance and personal well-being.
Now the weekends witness diverse activities among high school students. Some choose to review lessons or practice their academic exercises. Others explore their hobbies, such as painting and joining volunteer programs, which enrich their life experiences. Additionally, sports enthusiasts often play basketball or go cycling to relax and build physical strength.
Overall, though a few students struggle with time management, most quickly adapt. Not only does the policy relieve students’ stress, but it also boosts their enthusiasm for learning. With a refreshed mind, most students are more productive in class.
47. One possible version:
I opened the envelope, hands trembling. Inside was a carefully kept ledger, each entry dated and signed. My stepmom had secretly matched every dollar diverted from my allowance, depositing double the original amount into a separate account under my name. “I kept track of everything,” she said softly, pointing to the last entry — a sum large enough to cover my first year of tuition. My father, silent until now, pulled me into a hug. “We might not have much, but your education is non-negotiable,” he whispered. The room blurred as guilt and gratitude collided in my chest.
Tears dropped on the handwritten pages. Alongside the numbers, my stepmom had penned notes like “Lila’s 18th birthday — added $1,000 from my freelance work.” The foundation’s scholarship, I realized, was her way of turning temporary sacrifice into lasting impact. “I wanted you to see how money, even when scattered, can grow purpose,” she said. That night, I drafted my first donation to the foundation — a fraction of my savings, with a promise to pay it forward. My parents’ quiet resilience had rewritten the meaning of “enough”.
