I sat in my chair in the yard, and ur new huse was behind me. A table with fd and drinks std nearby. I felt a little wrried. Was it a strange idea t have ur wn welcme party? New Yrk was very different frm my hmetwn in Suth Africa.
In Cape Twn, ur whle neighbrhd felt like ne big family. Peple ften met utside in the evenings. Kids played tgether, and adults shared fd and talked. My gdparents always said, “The simplest way t spread gdwill is t start with yur wn neighbrhd.” I believed in building a cmmunity with lnger tables, nt higher fences.
I mved t the USA after law schl. My wife Sarah and I dreamed f having ur wn huse and a warm cmmunity. We rented different places but never fund that feeling. Peple kept t themselves. Once, we heard ur neighbrs arguing, but I didn’t knw hw t help.
Finally, in 2020, we bught a huse n a street called Whitney Drive. It had trees and a friendly-lking yard. I felt this was the right place. Remembering my childhd, I knew smene had t take the first step t bring peple tgether. S, right after mving in, I suggested a neighbrhd party. Sarah and ur tw daughters agreed.
A mnth later, we sent invitatins t all 12 huses. Nw, sitting and waiting, I checked my watch. It was past 6 p.m. What if n ne came? I sat there, hping I culd be the gd neighbr I wanted t be.
Just then, a cuple with a baby carriage walked tward us. Then mre peple came — a yung family, an lder cuple. Sn, twenty neighbrs were there, talking and laughing. Our daughters played with ther kids. Everyne enjyed the party. One neighbr said, “This is a great idea. We never had a neighbrhd party befre.”
That night, I learned that cmmunity isn’t abut the place, but abut the peple. It’s abut being brave enugh t lve yur neighbr. Nw, ur street has regular get-tgethers, and it finally feels like hme.

Faced with the grwing dangers f climate change, scientists are thinking abut a new plan: Mving animals in danger t new hmes far frm their ld nes. This methd, called assisted migratin (迁徙), is meant t save these animals frm rising temperatures and habitat (栖息地) lss.
A recent example is the mving f the Tristram’s strm-petrel (海燕), a seabird that usually lives n lw islands in Hawaii and Japan. Its main nesting place, Tern Island, is nly 1.8 meters high and is being wrn away by the sea. S, abut 40 yung birds were taken 800 kilmeters away t Oahu. Bilgist Erie VanderWerf f Pacific Rim Cnservatin said that climate change is making such actins mre necessary. The hpe is that ne day, these birds can be brught back t their riginal hme if the envirnment becmes better.
This new way f prtecting animals is becming mre accepted. There is a plan t change the Endangered Species Act t make it easier t mve the mst at-risk species t new places. Because f this, fficials and scientists have named sme animals and plants that might be mved, such as Flrida’s Key deer, the Karner blue butterfly, and sme desert plants and lizards.
Hwever, nt everyne agrees with this plan. Sme lawmakers say that putting new species int different ecsystems can cause prblems we dn’t expect, like creating invasive (入侵的) species r harming the envirnment in unknwn ways.
This discussin shws a big change in hw we think abut prtecting nature. Jasn McLachlan, a bilgist at the University f Ntre Dame, says this is a basic change in ur way f saving species. Because climate change is frcing animals t mve quickly, the idea f what is “native” is being questined. In the past, climate changes happened very slwly, ver thusands f years, s animals and plants had time t get used t them. But nw, the change is t fast fr many ecsystems.
28．Why were the strm-petrels mved t Oahu?
A．The weather was t cld.
B．Their hme was in danger.
C．Scientists needed t study them.
D．T many petrels lived n Tern Island.
29．What can we knw abut Flrida’s Key deer?
A．They live n high muntains.
B．They are under gd prtectin.
C．They may be mved t new places.
D．They are brught back t their hme.
30．What is the lawmakers’ cncern abut the assisted migratin?
A．It csts t much mney.
B．It will change the existing laws.
C．It can bring abut mre habitat lss.
D．It may lead t unexpected prblems.
31．What is Jasn’s attitude t the assisted migratin?
A．Unfriendly.B．Uncertain.C．Supprtive.D．Cautius.
A very small drne (无人机), n bigger than a hand and lighter than a piece f paper, is getting a lt f attentin. This tiny flying machine can fly nn-stp as lng as it is in the sunlight because f its special new mtr (发动机).
Researchers at Beihang University in Beijing, wh are experts in flight science, designed this slar-pwered drne. The size and the heft are nw nly 1/10 and 1/600 f the previus wrld’s smallest and lightest slar-pwered aircraft, respectively.
Small flying machines like this are very useful. They can help with watching the envirnment, finding peple in truble, and ther jbs. They can take pictures, find bjects, and carry small things in tight spaces. But a big prblem is that they cannt fly fr a lng time.
Usually, small drnes use mtrs that can get t ht when they run fast. This makes them waste a lt f energy. Using sunlight fr pwer is a gd idea, but a smaller drne has less space t cllect sunlight, which means less energy. This was explained by the lead researcher, Mr. Qi.
In their study, the team said that flying machines lighter than 10 grams usually can nly fly fr abut 10 minutes. T fix this prblem, Qi and his team made a new kind f mtr. It uses a frce called the Culmb frce t make a blade spin. The drne is named CulmbFly after this mtr.
The study shws that fr very light flying machines, this new mtr can be ver 10 times better at using energy than ld mtrs. It needs much less pwer t stay in the air. Befre this, a team frm Harvard University made a very small aircraft called RbBee in 2019. But it needed a very strng, man-made light t fly, which is much brighter than the sun. The new CulmbFly drne can fly nn-stp using just nrmal sunlight. Researchers say this is a very big step frward.
32．Which f the fllwing des the new drne perfrm better in?
A．Overall safety.B．High speed.C．Cntinuus flight.D．Deep explratin.
33．What des the underlined wrd “heft” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Weight.B．Length.C．Pwer.D．Quality.
34．What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A．The practical use f drnes.B．The prblems f flying machines.
C．The difficulty in designing drnes.D．The effrts made by the researchers.
35．Why is RbBee mentined in the last paragraph?
A．T explain man-made light use.B．T shw drnes’ ppularity.
C．T intrduce a research team.D．T stress CulmbFly’s advantage.

Typhns are pwerful strms 56 cause a lt f damage in the Pacific Ocean. There are many such strms each year. They are called by different names 57 (help) experts track them. Have yu ever wndered abut hw these names are chsen?
The practice f naming typhns dates back t 58 early 20th century in the Western Pacific. Initially, typhns were named using the phnetic alphabet (语音字母表), such as Able, Baker, r Charlie. Hwever, this methd ften led t 59 (cnfuse) and prved difficult t recall. As a result, a new naming system was adpted.
In mdern practice, typhn naming is carried ut by meterlgical (气象学的) agencies acrss the Asia-Pacific regin, under the supervisin f the Wrld Meterlgical Organizatin (WMO). Each participating cuntry submits a list f names, 60 (usual) in their native language, which are then incrprated int a master list.
Many names are chsen fr their cultural imprtance. It is cmmn t cme acrss names 61 (inspire) by plants and animals. Such names help build a sense f identity and cnnectin amng affected 62 (cmmunity).
When a typhn results in significant damage r lss f life, 63 (it) name is retired as a mark f respect fr the victims. The WMO is respnsible 64 deciding which names t retire, based n criteria (标准) established by reginal authrities.
By learning abut the rigins f these names, we can better appreciate the effrts devted t predicting and managing these pwerful 65 (nature) events.
