I sat in my chair in the yard, and our new house was behind me. A table with food and drinks stood nearby. I felt a little worried. Was it a strange idea to have our own welcome party New York was very different from my hometown in South Africa.
In Cape Town, our whole neighborhood felt like one big family. People often met outside in the evenings. Kids played together, and adults shared food and talked. My godparents always said, “The simplest way to spread goodwill is to start with your own neighborhood.” I believed in building a community with longer tables, not higher fences.
I moved to the USA after law school. My wife Sarah and I dreamed of having our own house and a warm community. We rented different places but never found that feeling. People kept to themselves. Once, we heard our neighbors arguing, but I didn’t know how to help.
Finally, in 2020, we bought a house on a street called Whitney Drive. It had trees and a friendly-looking yard. I felt this was the right place. Remembering my childhood, I knew someone had to take the first step to bring people together. So, right after moving in. I suggested a neighborhood party. Sarah and our two daughters agreed.
A month later, we sent invitations to all 12 houses. Now, sitting and waiting,I checked my watch. It was past 6 p. m. What if no one came I sat there, hoping I could be the good neighbor I wanted to be.
Just then, a couple with a baby carriage walked toward us. Then more people came-a young family, an older couple. Soon, twenty neighbors were there, talking and laughing. Our daughters played with other kids. Everyone enjoyed the party. One neighbor said, “This is a great idea. We never had a neighborhood party before. ”
That night, I learned that community isn’t about the place, but about the people. It’s about being brave enough to love your neighbor. Now, our street has regular get-togethers, and it finally feels like home.

The excitement about delivery robots has died down, but a company in America is still determined to introduce a pretty red delivery robot.
The company showed off the nearly 5-foot-tall robot, covered with cameras and sensors, at an event in San Francisco on Monday. The company says the robots are built to travel up to 20 mph on roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks (人行道), and they can carry up to30 pounds of goods. The robot is electric, has a changeable battery (电池) and can travel up to six hours after each getting power.
“We hope the new red robot can go to as many places as we can,” the company’s cofounder said. “We’re trying our hardest.” Considering the technical challenge the red robot has ahead of it, the company says the robot is built to operate on sidewalks, bike lanes, and roads. It’s meant to pilot in and out of car parks to pick up food and to navigate (导航) driveways and apartments to drop it off. That means the software needs to “understand”: knowing the movement of people in the streets in advance, and getting around a number of complex (复杂的) situations, cars, and living things.
“Delivery robots face all the challenges of the real world,” said Nikolas Martelaro, an assistant professor at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. In 2021, he and his colleague Sarah Fox followed a small group of delivery robots that were being tested in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. “They had trouble navigating sidewalks: they got stuck: they had communication with people that was not always good, he said. He pointed out that just this month, a video became very popular online. In the video, a person using an electric wheelchair tried to go around a sidewalk delivery robot in Los Angeles, but failed.
“But we believe that delivery robots will be a major future trend thou they face some challenges”, said Bryon Smith, a professor of a university. He adds that they will bring us a lot of convenience to our lives.
28. What does paragraph 2 focus on
A. The red delivery robot’s appearance and uses. B. A delivery robot company’s strategies.
C. Delivery robots’ work requirements. D. Challenges for delivery robots.
29. What can we learn about the red robot
A. It is made from a newly invented material. B. Its charging time is extremely long.
C. It can reach any place for delivery. D. Its software may be very intelligent.
30. What problem did delivery robots have
A. Difficulty in navigating sidewalks. B. Fast road travel.
C. Inability to carry heavy goods. D. Low battery life.
31. What’s Bryan Smith’s attitude towards the future of delivery robots
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Uncertain. D. Optimistic.
D
A team of scientists has found that the Southern Ocean emits (出发) far more carbon dioxide(CO2)during the long, sunless Antarctic winter than scientists once believed. According to their new research, the amount of winter CO2 emitted from the ocean has been underestimated (低估) by up to40%.
The Southern Ocean is very important in Earth’s carbon system, taking in a large share of the CO2 produced by human activities. Yet scientists have long struggled to pin down how much carbon it actually exchanges with the atmosphere, calling it the “largest source of uncertainty” in global CO2 estimates.
That uncertainty comes from not having enough direct observations. During the lightless winter months, the area is nearly impossible to study, as it is covered with darkness and hit by powerful storms. Previous satellites, which need sunlight to collect ocean information, cannot operate under these conditions. Asa result, researchers have had to depend on models that only show part of what happens in winter.
To solve this problem, the research team turned to a new way that mixed 14 years of satellite LIDAR information from the CALIPSO project with machine learning. Unlike others, LIDAR is an active technology. It works similarly to radar (雷达) but uses laser light instead of radio waves. carrying its own light source. This allowed scientists to collect information even in total darkness, producing the first continuous picture of wintertime CO2 exchange across the Southern Ocean.
The results show that previous estimates missed about 40%of the ocean’s winter carbon emissions. Besides correcting the information，this study also changed how scientists understand the carbon cycle in the Southern Ocean. The team introduced a groundbreaking “three-loop framework” that explains how different physical and biological processes affect CO2 exchange in different parts of the Southern Ocean. This offers a clearer picture of how this important part of the climate system works. Fixing it can help improve global climate models and understand future.
32. What does the underlined phrase “pin down” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Prevent. B. Demand. C. Understand. D. Challenge.
33. Why is it difficult to measure CO emissions from the Southern Ocean in winter
A. The air is badly polluted during that time. B. The models require repeated improvement.
C. The area is dark and faces powerful storms. D. The sunlight there is unbearable for humans.
34. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. Show the difficulties the scientists have to face.
B. Introduce the new method used by the researchers.
C. Stress the importance of the Southern Ocean.
D. Describe the challenges of studying climate change.
35. Which of the following can best describe the finding
A. Short-lived. B. Narrow-focused. C. Underestimated. D. Groundbreaking.

Parents can support their school-age children by creating a positive learning environment at home, communicating with teachers，and participating in school events. Do you know affirmations (肯定语) 36 ,They can help students succeed in school and in life.
Affirmations are positive statements about oneself that can be used to produce positive thoughts and counteract (抵消) bad thoughts that people might hold about themselves. They’re actually very simple statements that we can make，such as “I am strong”; “I am capable”; “I am worthy of love”. 37 . They repeat positive things to themselves. This helps them feel good about themselves.
Using affirmations can have a great number of benefits. They help students feel more confident and develop a positive growth mindset. They also improve emotional regulation and social communication. Additionally, affirmations can build self-esteem (自尊) 38 .
39 Starting from a young age is perfect. Once a kid starts school, they maybe face bad things from their classmates or teachers. Early use of affirmations helps increase self-esteem and helps a child have fewer bad experiences.
To make affirmations effective, it is important to keep them short and teach children to repeat them to themselves. It’s also important to keep the affirmations realistic. 40 For example, students can be advised to post them on mirrors orbed bed headboards. The more they see or read these affirmations, the more they will truly believe them and see those good things in themselves.
A. They are regarded as another helpful too
B. How can affirmations be introduced to kids
C. When should affirmations be used with kids
D. Morver, affirmations should be repeated daily
E. Most importantly, affirmations should be seen easily
F. It is good when kids say these affirmations to themselves

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。
For seventh grader Casey, life with his single dad has meant living in 10 homes over 12 years. When his father got a job at the Cornish Library，they settled into their new neighborhood.
While his dad worked at the front desk, Casey explored the library. He walked through the tall shelves of books, his fingers running over the backs of countless books. The smell of paper made him feel safe. He found a small corer on the second floor. It was between history books and science fiction books, with a window looking out at a small garden. This corner soon became his own little castle, where he was no longer the new kid.
He read books about buildings, tried fantasy books, losing himself in exciting stories of heroes and faraway lands. Ms Albright, the kind head librarian, noticed his love for reading and started leaving books on the small table in his corner with a simple note: “Thought you might like this.” What’s more, it was there that he met a girl named Elara, who loved books too. They started a small book club, talking excitedly about their favorite stories and characters.
The library was no longer just a shelter-it became the center of Casey’s world. He did homework there. He laughed with Elara there. And for the first time, he felt he belonged. Watching his dad help people at the library, Casey knew the library was an important, lively community center. It was a strong heart for the neighborhood that had finally accepted him.
However, this hard-earned peace came to an end suddenly. One day, Casey saw a notice, saying the city council (委员会) might close the library. The words hit him hard. He was scared. Closing the library meant losing everything-his books, his safe place, his dad’s job, and his friends. The stable life he loved was falling apart, and he felt the familiar fear of moving and starting over again.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；

Driven by a strong need to protect his home, Casey decided to take action._________________

A month later, we sent invitations to all 12 houses. Now, sitting and waiting,I checked my watch. It was past 6 p. m. What if no one came I sat there, hoping I could be the good neighbor I wanted to be.
Just then, a couple with a baby carriage walked toward us. Then more people came-a young family, an older couple. Soon, twenty neighbors were there, talking and laughing. Our daughters played with other kids. Everyone enjoyed the party. One neighbor said, “This is a great idea. We never had a neighborhood party before. ”
That night, I learned that community isn’t about the place, but about the people. It’s about being brave enough to love your neighbor. Now, our street has regular get-togethers, and it finally feels like home.

The excitement about delivery robots has died down, but a company in America is still determined to introduce a pretty red delivery robot.
The company showed off the nearly 5-foot-tall robot, covered with cameras and sensors, at an event in San Francisco on Monday. The company says the robots are built to travel up to 20 mph on roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks (人行道), and they can carry up to30 pounds of goods. The robot is electric, has a changeable battery (电池) and can travel up to six hours after each getting power.
“We hope the new red robot can go to as many places as we can,” the company’s cofounder said. “We’re trying our hardest.” Considering the technical challenge the red robot has ahead of it, the company says the robot is built to operate on sidewalks, bike lanes, and roads. It’s meant to pilot in and out of car parks to pick up food and to navigate (导航) driveways and apartments to drop it off. That means the software needs to “understand”: knowing the movement of people in the streets in advance, and getting around a number of complex (复杂的) situations, cars, and living things.
“Delivery robots face all the challenges of the real world,” said Nikolas Martelaro, an assistant professor at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. In 2021, he and his colleague Sarah Fox followed a small group of delivery robots that were being tested in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. “They had trouble navigating sidewalks: they got stuck: they had communication with people that was not always good, he said. He pointed out that just this month, a video became very popular online. In the video, a person using an electric wheelchair tried to go around a sidewalk delivery robot in Los Angeles, but failed.
“But we believe that delivery robots will be a major future trend thou they face some challenges”, said Bryon Smith, a professor of a university. He adds that they will bring us a lot of convenience to our lives.
28. What does paragraph 2 focus on
A. The red delivery robot’s appearance and uses. B. A delivery robot company’s strategies.
C. Delivery robots’ work requirements. D. Challenges for delivery robots.
29. What can we learn about the red robot
A. It is made from a newly invented material. B. Its charging time is extremely long.
C. It can reach any place for delivery. D. Its software may be very intelligent.
30. What problem did delivery robots have
A. Difficulty in navigating sidewalks. B. Fast road travel.
C. Inability to carry heavy goods. D. Low battery life.
31. What’s Bryan Smith’s attitude towards the future of delivery robots
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Uncertain. D. Optimistic.
D
A team of scientists has found that the Southern Ocean emits (出发) far more carbon dioxide(CO2)during the long, sunless Antarctic winter than scientists once believed. According to their new research, the amount of winter CO2 emitted from the ocean has been underestimated (低估) by up to40%.
The Southern Ocean is very important in Earth’s carbon system, taking in a large share of the CO2 produced by human activities. Yet scientists have long struggled to pin down how much carbon it actually exchanges with the atmosphere, calling it the “largest source of uncertainty” in global CO2 estimates.
That uncertainty comes from not having enough direct observations. During the lightless winter months, the area is nearly impossible to study, as it is covered with darkness and hit by powerful storms. Previous satellites, which need sunlight to collect ocean information, cannot operate under these conditions. Asa result, researchers have had to depend on models that only show part of what happens in winter.
To solve this problem, the research team turned to a new way that mixed 14 years of satellite LIDAR information from the CALIPSO project with machine learning. Unlike others, LIDAR is an active technology. It works similarly to radar (雷达) but uses laser light instead of radio waves. carrying its own light source. This allowed scientists to collect information even in total darkness, producing the first continuous picture of wintertime CO2 exchange across the Southern Ocean.
The results show that previous estimates missed about 40%of the ocean’s winter carbon emissions. Besides correcting the information，this study also changed how scientists understand the carbon cycle in the Southern Ocean. The team introduced a groundbreaking “three-loop framework” that explains how different physical and biological processes affect CO2 exchange in different parts of the Southern Ocean. This offers a clearer picture of how this important part of the climate system works. Fixing it can help improve global climate models and understand future.
32. What does the underlined phrase “pin down” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Prevent. B. Demand. C. Understand. D. Challenge.
33. Why is it difficult to measure CO emissions from the Southern Ocean in winter
A. The air is badly polluted during that time. B. The models require repeated improvement.
C. The area is dark and faces powerful storms. D. The sunlight there is unbearable for humans.
34. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. Show the difficulties the scientists have to face.
B. Introduce the new method used by the researchers.
C. Stress the importance of the Southern Ocean.
D. Describe the challenges of studying climate change.
35. Which of the following can best describe the finding
A. Short-lived. B. Narrow-focused. C. Underestimated. D. Groundbreaking.

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。
For seventh grader Casey, life with his single dad has meant living in 10 homes over 12 years. When his father got a job at the Cornish Library，they settled into their new neighborhood.
While his dad worked at the front desk, Casey explored the library. He walked through the tall shelves of books, his fingers running over the backs of countless books. The smell of paper made him feel safe. He found a small corer on the second floor. It was between history books and science fiction books, with a window looking out at a small garden. This corner soon became his own little castle, where he was no longer the new kid.
He read books about buildings, tried fantasy books, losing himself in exciting stories of heroes and faraway lands. Ms Albright, the kind head librarian, noticed his love for reading and started leaving books on the small table in his corner with a simple note: “Thought you might like this.” What’s more, it was there that he met a girl named Elara, who loved books too. They started a small book club, talking excitedly about their favorite stories and characters.
The library was no longer just a shelter-it became the center of Casey’s world. He did homework there. He laughed with Elara there. And for the first time, he felt he belonged. Watching his dad help people at the library, Casey knew the library was an important, lively community center. It was a strong heart for the neighborhood that had finally accepted him.
However, this hard-earned peace came to an end suddenly. One day, Casey saw a notice, saying the city council (委员会) might close the library. The words hit him hard. He was scared. Closing the library meant losing everything-his books, his safe place, his dad’s job, and his friends. The stable life he loved was falling apart, and he felt the familiar fear of moving and starting over again.
