College Board’s Advanced Placement Program (AP) enables willing and academically prepared students in high school to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—before applying to college.
Through AP courses in 38 subjects, each ending in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree.
Enrolling Students: Equity and Access
Equitable access is a guiding principle for AP programs. All students should have access to academically challenging courses before they enroll in AP classes, which can prepare them for AP success.
How AP Exams Are Scored
While multiple-choice questions are scored by machine, the free-response questions and through-course performance assessments are scored by thousands of college professors and expert AP teachers. They are thoroughly trained, and their work is monitored for fairness and consistency. In each subject, a highly respected college faculty member serves as Chief Consultant to maintain the accuracy of the scoring standards.
Scores on the free-response questions and performance assessments are weighted and combined with the results of the computer-scored multiple-choice questions, and this raw score is translated into an overall AP score on a 1-5 scale.

Andrew Diggs worked as a member of a joint search and rescue team to help find people missing in the flood of the Guadalupe River. While he was searching, he came across an old wooden paddle with markings that gave him pause: the year 1962, Greek letters.
It was just another personal item lost among the ruins. But the more he looked at it, the more it felt like a message—someone, somewhere, had loved this object deeply enough to hold onto it for 60 years. That meant something. And after everything that had already been taken by the flood, it was a 1-of-1 piece of memorial lost in the chaos. He knew he couldn’t let this be one more thing lost to time. He made it his mission to find its owner.
That mission led him to Tom Schulze, who had given the paddle to his wife when they went to a University of Texas Formal Dance in 1962. It had been hanging in his daughter’s house—more than 3 miles from where it was found—but the house was heavily damaged in the flood.
When reunited with the paddle, Tom called it a bright spot in a time of loss and suffering. To him, it wasn’t just wood and paint. It was family. History. Resilience (韧性). Tom expressed his gratitude to Diggs and a promise that he would never clean it up and would do something to preserve it as a reminder of that night of disaster.
Diggs had never been very emotional about material things but a minimalist, who believed memories live in heart. That has changed, though. The stories behind the paddle made him realize it was a physical thing that could remind people of so many good times. He had seen so many small things that he previously would have considered insignificant, but now he can see what they mean to people.
24. What did Diggs do with the paddle?
A. He removed its markings.B. He kept it for himself.
C. He donated it to the museum.D. He returned it to its owner.
25. Why did Tom decide to keep the paddle as it was?
A. To preserve its paint.B. To keep it as a witness.
C. To repair it for later use.D. To maintain its commercial value.
26. What has changed for Diggs?
A. His ambition for the future.B. His daily routine of work.
C. His attitude to physical things.D. His appreciation of life meaning.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Narrow Escape.B. A Huge Disaster.
C. A Flood Rescue Mission.D. A Rediscovered Treasure.

In our fast-paced, stressful lives, we’re often turning to social media, online shopping, or gaming to escape daily pressures. However, the experience can often be the opposite, leaving us more exhausted. This begs the question: do we scroll because we’re stressed, or are we stressed because we scroll?
To better understand the subtle (微妙的) relationship of stress and internet use, particularly how specific online behaviors influence stress levels, Belal’s team, from Finland’s Aalto University, conducted one of the first studies. They recorded real-world internet usage through tracking software installed on participants’ devices. Combined with a large sample size and a lengthy observation period, the findings offer especially valuable insight into how online habits tie in with stress.
The study, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, collected internet usage data from around 1,500 adults over a seven-month period, comprising nearly 47 million web visits and 14 million app sessions. When compared with participants’ self-reported stress levels from questionnaires, researchers found a strong link between internet use and increased stress, particularly among those who already experienced daily stress. Women consistently reported higher stress levels than men, while stress tended to decrease with age and wealth. Not all online activities were equal, though. The study found that extended time spent on social media, online shopping, and gaming platforms was associated with higher stress levels compared to activities like checking emails or reading the news.
There are always concerns over internet life, especially increasing social media engagement, and some countries, such as Australia, banned social media for anyone under 16. The researchers hope that by gathering more detailed information about people’s internet habits, they can eventually develop concrete recommendations and tools that support healthier, more regulated online engagement. Juhi Kulshrestha, assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science, cautions against oversimplified solutions. She believes that blanket bans on internet use may overlook the emotional support certain online spaces provide. And it’s really crucial to study these issues further so the chicken and egg problem can be solved.
The research team plans to explore how different types of news—political, entertainment, or sports coverage—affect stress, helping further clarify the internet’s complex role in mental health.
28. Why did Belal’s team conduct their research?
A. To compare job-related stress levels.
B. To prove why internet use results in stress.
C. To create apps to help lower stress in adults.
D. To study how stress interacts with internet use.
29. What is a feature of the research method?
A. Focusing on a specific age group.
B. Conducting nationwide online interviews.
C. Collecting large-scale real data over time.
D. Using lab experiments to measure stress levels.
30. Which online activity likely causes the least stress according to the research?
A. Checking emails.B. Shopping.
C. Playing games.D. Chatting.
31. What does Juhi warn against?
A. Judging a book by its cover.
B. Sacrificing tomorrow for today.
C. Painting everything with the same brush.
D. Counting your chickens before they hatch.
D
For most, the sound of rain hitting rooftops is just noise, and the droplets are simply water to be channeled away. However, a team of researchers at UNIST, led by Young-Bin Park, has found a way to turn the energy of falling raindrops into a power source.
To capture energy, the researchers turned to carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (聚合物), known as CFRP, which can both stand the natural elements and move electricity. It is incredibly lightweight, yet stronger than many metals. Using it as the foundation for their droplet-based electricity generator, or DEG, they created a device called the S-FRP-DEG.
Falling through the atmosphere, each raindrop typically carries a positive charge. The surface of the S-FRP-DEG, however, is engineered to be negatively charged. When a raindrop hits it, a transfer of charges occurs. To make this process efficient, they applied a lotus-leaf-inspired coating to the device. As a droplet strikes, it spreads out and rolls away instantly. This quick motion is what drives an electric current through the carbon fibers. This way, the mechanical energy of the falling rain is translated into electricity.
Through laboratory tests, the researchers found that a single raindrop—measuring roughly 92 microliters in volume—was capable of generating a surprising 60 volts of electricity. They proved its scalability by connecting four of these generator units in series, whose combined power can briefly illuminate 144 LED lights. When testing it on real-world rooftops, they discovered the S-FRP-DEG could act as a sensor to autonomously distinguish between a drizzle and a storm. When a storm hits, these signals can be used to automatically activate drainage pumps (排水泵) without needing any external electricity or batteries.
Park suggests that this technology could one day be integrated into mobility systems. Imagine a car or a plane that harvests energy from the rain it passes through. By turning rain into a source of power, this research provides a sustainable, and autonomous way to protect our cities and keep our technology running, even in the middle of a storm.
32. Why did the researchers choose CFRP to capture energy?
A. It is light and cost-effective.
B. It is durable and conductive.
C. It is sustainable and heat-absorbing.
D. It is stretchable and environmental-friendly.
33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The working principle.B. The surface engineering.
C. The design inspiration.D. The functional instructions.
34. How can the device help fight floods?
A. It can collect falling rainwater.
B. It can be a self-powered rain sensor.
C. It can be an automatic drainage system.
D. It can transport electricity to the LED lights.
35.What is Park’s suggestion about the invention?
A. Apply it to vehicles.B. Make cities free of storms.
C. Improve road facilities.D. Update self-driving systems.

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。
From posters to newspaper articles to presidential speeches, inspirational quotes are everywhere.36 Perhaps some have been wrongly attributed over time, but others are just fake.
There’s an often-shared internet meme (网络梗) that says: “The problem with quotes found on the internet is that they are often not true—Abraham Lincoln.” Of course, Lincoln didn’t say this! This internet meme perfectly illustrates the problem, but misattributed quotes are not a digital-age invention.
37 For example, in 1919, American author Mark Twain who had died in 1910 was quoted as saying: “A lie will fly around the whole world while the truth is getting its boots on.” It’s a nice quote. But Garson O’Toole who investigates the origins of quotes on Quote Investigator believes Mark Twain never said such a thing. The quote is probably based on something the English-Irish writer Jonathan Swift wrote in 1710: “Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it.” This changed over time, and somehow got attributed to Twain.
People like to attribute quotes to famous people because the name gives authority to the statement. That’s why you might see quotes attributed to people like Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe or Winston Churchill. 38
The internet has just made these quotes spread faster and farther. 39 But others are used to mean harm, perhaps to give the impression that a hurtful idea has been supported by a respected person—making it feel more acceptable to agree with.
So how can we spot these fake quotes? It’s not always easy, say experts, because some have been attributed wrongly by thousands of websites and publications, including reputable ones. As with fake news, doing a bit of research is a good idea if you want to make sure you’re using an accurate quote. 40
A. Some are shared quite harmlessly.
B. Therefore, never coin your own quote.
C. But there’s just one problem: many are incorrect.
D. And Quote Investigator isn’t a bad place to start.
E. It was not Lincoln but Mark Twain who said that.
F. The history of untrue quotes is far older than the internet.
G. They were even having quotes misattributed to them while alive.

Now here I was staring at a 43 canvas, with a photograph of a sunflower beside it, wondering what I was doing in this class. “Grid off the photo and canvas into squares,” Debbie, my teacher, walked us through the 44 of painting. As I followed the instructions, I thought back on my past 45 to make artwork. In junior high, I eagerly chose art, but my enthusiasm was 46 . The teacher’s harsh criticism quickly made me drop the class. Then in college, I 47 a drawing class but barely kept up, leaving my confidence 48 again. After that, my creative energies were restricted only to secret 49 .
This time, I wouldn’t let that happen again. I gridded off my picture and painted just one 50 at a time. My shaky hands gradually 51 and found their rhythm. Little by little, a cheerful sunflower came to life. Debbie had told us, “Don’t think of it as part of a bigger picture. And don’t guess at where it 52 with the rest.” A single sunflower had brought me more 53 than an entire field of flowers.
The sunflower finally 54 and bloomed within me: I was a late bloomer, finally uncovering a truth we too often forget—take small steps and dreams have no 55 limit.

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。
“Did you bring your doll?” my friend Reba greeted me at the door. I showed her the bag I was hiding behind my back and followed her to her bedroom—all to herself, unlike the one I shared with my sister. But envy struck when I saw the newest doll on her shelf with a stylish wardrobe (全套服装). To me, Reba was the luckiest girl. Yet I wanted to level the playing field with one of the birthday presents I was expecting.
Settled on the floor, I presented my hand-me-down doll—a figure with unbending legs, dated hair, faded fabrics, and mismatched shoes. Meanwhile, everything about Reba’s doll, from its silky hair to cool sunglasses, said young and free. With a click, Reba folded its knees, settled it behind the wheel of its tiny convertible (敞篷车) car and rolled it away with a goodbye wave to mine.
As night fell, it was time to head home. We parted with a promise to compare our dolls another day. I knew a convertible was a fantasy, so my birthday wish was simple: a genuine, store-bought fashion set for my doll, anything brand new. My parents always did the best they could for my sisters and me, and I knew my mom would take my request to heart.
Finally, the big day arrived. Mom offered her gift—a humble shoebox. I lifted the top carefully. The shoebox was full to the top, but as I pulled out the top piece, my heart sank. It wasn’t a store-bought set. I knew that fabric—it was from my own outgrown clothes.
“Brand-new and never been worn by a doll!” Mom said. “I made these outfits just for you!” She was so proud of her accomplishment. I swallowed my disappointment and ran over to hug her. She must have been secretly working at her sewing machine for weeks, carefully cutting out patterns, choosing fabrics, adding tiny details with her needle and thread and an abundance of patience. All so my doll could look her best. But they were not what I had desired, after all.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Reba invited me over to play a few days later. “Lucky you!” Reba said, her eyes shining with envy. |

Small Moves, Big Health
Since the launch of the “Small Moves, Big Health” activity, I’ve seized fragmented time to practice light exercise consistently.
During 10-minute class breaks, I skip rope with classmates in the corridor. On my way to and from school, I walk 20 minutes instead of taking the bus. After evening self-study, I do 5-minute stretches to relax tired muscles. These tiny acts have become my daily routine.
The gains are remarkable. Physically, I’m more energetic in classes and rarely get sick. Mentally, short workouts relieve my study stress, helping me focus better. What’s more, cheering each other on with classmates has deepened our friendship. Truly, small consistent moves bring big health benefits. I’ll stick to these habits, as every tiny step leads to a healthier life.

One possible version:
Reba invited me over to play a few days later. I put my shoebox under my arm, knocked on the door and prepared to be envious. “Look! I got three fashion packs!” she announced, spreading them on the bed. And I hesitantly opened my shoebox. Reba peered in, then carefully lined up a couple of my outfits beside hers. “They’re…not store-bought,” I said quickly before she could point it out. “My mom made them.” Reba grew quiet, studying each piece, holding some up to the light. Her curiosity slowly melted into a different expression—one I recognized deeply, because I’d worn it myself not long before.
“Lucky you!” Reba said, her eyes shining with envy. She gently took one of them, her fingers tracing the fine needlework. “May I?” she whispered, holding it up to her doll. “Look,” she breathed. “It fits perfectly.” She then tried each piece on her own doll. “Fashion packs are common,” she whispered, “but your shoebox holds stories.” Reba’s words struck me deeply: her envy wasn’t for the items, but for the love and patience woven into them by mom’s hands. At that moment, my old hand-me-down doll, dressed in love’s vocabulary, was beyond compare. And I finally felt I was the luckiest girl in the world.

M: When did you buy this scarf?
W: Maybe last month? It was on sale for $60.
M: I guess the original price was $100, right?
W: No, the original price was double what I paid.
M: That price was set on purpose. In that case, even if the actual price of the item is $60, when compared to the so-called “original price”, it makes you feel like you’re getting a bargain when you pay $60 for it.
W: But the discount is too attractive, especially for well-known brands. How can I avoid falling into this trap?
M: Well, you can try to figure out whether you actually need the product, and I think it’s most important to only buy what’s truly necessary.

W: What made you choose this neighborhood?
M: We’d spent months looking for a house to buy. Then one day, I saw an advertisement saying the house was on sale. It was large and beautiful. And to top it off, there was a big discount. It’s only six blocks from my daughter’s and a five-minute walk from a big supermarket. I can easily get whatever I need. How about you?
W: My husband and I, along with my daughter Jenny, moved to Oakton in Virginia 27 years ago because of its reputation for having excellent public schools with great academic programs. The house has a big yard. Foxes and deer regularly visit here.
M: So your daughter must be quite outstanding.
W: Thanks. She graduated from Towson University in Maryland and now works in Texas.
M: It was nice talking with you. Why not get in and have a cup of tea?
W: Thanks. But I have to walk my dog.

How much do you really know about Pi? Sure, you’ve heard about it in math class—potentially sharing a Pi joke or two—but this famous number has such a fascinating history that it even has its own holiday. Every year on March 14th, math enthusiasts around the world celebrate Pi Day—an entire day dedicated to the infinite, irrational number that starts with 3.14. And one of the best ways to celebrate is by learning and sharing the most interesting and fun facts about Pi! Get ready to expand your knowledge and discover some of the coolest facts about Pi. Pi, the Greek letter π, is pronounced like the word “pie”. It equals roughly 3.14. In the 18th century, mathematicians gave the number the name “Pi”. Pi Day was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, an employee of a science museum. It also happens to be Albert Einstein’s birthday. Eating pie on Pi Day is a tradition. According to The Guardian, Akira Haraguchi recited 100,000 digits of Pi back in 2006. This impressive task reportedly took him a cool 16 hours and 30 minutes to complete.

•关键句：Well into my sixties, I was still searching…（已年过六旬，我仍在寻找…）
42. C•语境：朋友建议参加艺术班，作者先有犹豫（but finally decided to have a go）。
•选项解析：hesitated（犹豫）最符合转折逻辑；resolved（决心）、accepted（接受）与后文“but finally decided”矛盾；yielded（屈服）不合语境。
43. A•语境：作者面对一块画布，旁边有向日葵照片，暗示画布空白待绘。
•选项解析：blank（空白的）最贴合绘画初始情景；rough（粗糙的）、painted（已绘制的）不符；strange（奇怪的）无依据。
44. D•语境：老师将照片和画布分成方格，教授绘画的“基础步骤”。
•选项解析：basics（基础）符合教学场景；trends（趋势）、chores（琐事）、tests（测试）均不相关。
45. A•语境：作者回想过去“尝试”创作艺术品的经历。

•固定搭配：in pieces（破碎）形象描述信心受挫；on alert（警惕）、on purpose（故意）、in chains（束缚）均不贴切。
49. A•语境：此后创作精力仅限于“秘密爱好”。
•选项解析：hobbies（爱好）与“creative energies”呼应；careers（职业）、collections（收藏）、rules（规则）均不合理。
50. B•语境：作者将画分成方格，一次只画“一个方格”。
•关键句：I gridded off my picture and painted just one square at a time.（与前文“grid off the photo and canvas into squares”直接对应）

•选项解析：steadied（稳定）符合绘画过程；froze（冻结）、ached（疼痛）、sweated（流汗）均无依据。
52. D•语境：老师提醒不要猜测这一部分如何“契合”整体。

54. B•语境：向日葵在作者心中“扎根”并绽放，隐喻“晚熟者”的成长。
•选项解析：took root（扎根）与后文“late bloomer”（晚开的花）形成比喻呼应；took shape（成形）不如扎根贴切；died out（灭绝）、faded away（逐渐消失）为负面含义。
55. C•主旨升华：梦想没有“年龄”限制，呼应作者六十多岁才发现天赋。
