答案】Dear Sam,
I know you have trouble sticking to your exercise plan. Maybe it’s because the plan is too difficult or you don’t have a clear goal. Here are some suggestions. First, make the plan more reasonable and achievable. Second, find an exercise partner to keep you motivated. Third, set a reward for yourself when you complete a certain goal. Additionally, you can vary your exercise routine to avoid getting bored. Moreover, you can record your progress to see how far you have come. I believe you can do it.
Yours,

Highline High School offers a variety of clubs that are open to all students. These clubs are a great way to take part in school life, make good friends, and give something back to your high school community. Below is a list of clubs for you to explore.
Recycling (回收利用) Club
The students at the club are the ones who make sure that your high school is being eco-friendly in its classrooms. These students start the school-wide recycling activity by taking the bins (垃圾箱) to each classroom. They usually come by on a weekly basis to pick up the recycling bins and separate the different materials and then put them in the proper place to be recycled.
Improv Club
People who are into performances and competitions say it’s one of the most fun activities they do. By joining this club, you’ll learn how to think on your feet and become comfortable with presenting in front of the audience. The club will do public performances and even put on competitions.
Science Olympiad
If you know that you want to go into a science-related field or if science really interests you, consider putting your knowledge into a competition with the Science Olympiad. Even if you may not have all the science background that you need through your classes, this club will be a great way for you to pick up some materials and get ahead in your science classes.
Multicultural Club
This club is a great way for students to not only learn about other international cultures, but also meet other students who may come from different backgrounds. Students can bring various things that represent their cultures, including traditional dress, languages, flags, and more. In an increasingly globalized world, joining Multicultural Club is a fantastic way to connect yourself with other cultures.

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.
4. How was the author’s neighborhood in Cape Town

A. Boring. B. Enjoyable. C. Crowded. D. Formal.
7. What may be the best title for the text
A. A Difficult Life in America B. Building a Community with a Party
C. Buying Our Dream House in the USA D. The First Neighborhood Party We Hosted

Faced with the growing dangers of climate change, scientists are thinking about a new plan: Moving animals in danger to new homes far from their old ones. This method, called helped migration (迁徙), is meant to save these animals from rising temperatures and habitat (栖息地) loss.
A recent example is the moving of the Tristram’s storm-petrel (海燕), a seabird that usually lives on low islands in Hawaii and Japan. Its main nesting place, Tern Island, is only 1.8 meters high and is being worn away by the sea. So, about 40 young birds were taken 800 kilometers away to Oahu. Biologist Eric VanderWerf of Pacific Rim Conservation said that climate change is making such actions more necessary. The hope is that one day, these birds can be brought back to their original home if the environment becomes better.
This new way of protecting animals is becoming more accepted. There is a plan to change the Endangered Species Act to make it easier to move the most at-risk species to new places. Because of this, officials and scientists have named some animals and plants that might be moved, such as Florida’s Key deer, the Karner blue butterfly, and some desert plants and lizards.
However, not everyone agrees with this plan. Some lawmakers say that putting new species into different ecosystems can cause problems we don’t expect, like creating invasive (入侵的) species or harming the environment in unknown ways.
This discussion shows a big change in how we think about protecting nature. Jason McLachlan, a biologist at the University of Notre Dame, says this is a basic change in our way of saving species, Because climate change is forcing animals to move quickly, the idea of what is “native” is being questioned. In the past, climate changes happened very slowly, over thousands of years, so animals and plants had time to get used to them. But now, the change is too fast for many ecosystems.
8. Why were the storm-petrels moved to Oahu
A. The weather was too cold. B. Their home was in danger.
C. Scientists needed to study them. D. Too many petrels lived on Tern Island.
9. What can we know about Florida’s Key deer
A. They live on high mountains. B. They are under good protection.
C. They may be moved to new places. D. They are brought back to their home.
10. What is the lawmakers’ concern about the helped migration
A. It costs too much money. B. It will change the existing laws.
C. It may lead to unexpected problems. D. It can bring about more habitat loss.
11 What is Jason’s attitude to the helped migration
A. Unfriendly. B. Uncertain. C. Cautious. D. Supportive.
D
A very small drone (无人机), no bigger than a hand and lighter than a piece of paper, is getting a lot of attention. This tiny flying machine can fly non-stop as long as it is in the sunlight because of its special new motor (发动机).
Researchers at Beihang University in Beijing, who are experts in flight science, designed this solar-powered drone. The size and the heft are now only 1/10 and 1/600 of the previous world’s smallest and lightest solar-powered aircraft, respectively.
Small flying machines like this are very useful. They can help with watching the environment, finding people in trouble, and other jobs. They can take pictures, find objects, and carry small things in tight spaces. But a big problem is that they cannot fly for a long time.
Usually, small drones use motors that can get too hot when they run fast. This makes them waste a lot of energy. Using sunlight for power is a good idea, but a smaller drone has less space to collect 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 only fly for about 10 minutes. To fix this problem, Qi and his team made a new kind of motor. It uses a force called the Coulomb force to make a blade spin. The drone is named CoulombFly after this motor,
The study shows that for very light flying machines, this new motor can be over 10 times better at using energy than old motors. It needs much less power to stay in the air. Before this, a team from Harvard University made a very small aircraft called RoboBee in 2019. But it needed a very strong, man-made light to fly, which is much brighter than the sun. The new CoulombFly drone can fly non-stop using just normal sunlight. Researchers say this is a very big step forward.
12. Which of the following does the new drone perform better in
A. General safety. B. High speed. C. Continuous flight. D. Deep exploration.
13. What does the underlined word “heft” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Quality. B. Length. C. Power. D. Weight.
14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The practical use of drones. B. The problems of flying machines.
C. The difficulty in designing drones. D. The efforts made by the researchers.
15. Why is RoboBee mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To stress CoulombFly’s advantage. B. To show drones’ being popular.
C. To introduce a research team. D. To explain man-made light use.

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。
Though travelling to a strange place sounds attractive, many people put it off for a long time. So if you’re wondering why it’s so hard to step out of your comfort zone and try travel, here are four key reasons.
●Your brain tries to protect you. ____16____ Even if the comfort zone is not satisfying you still feel safe. Your brain sees any change — even helpful change that helps you grow — as a threat. It stops you with thoughts like “You’re fine now” or “Don’t cause trouble”. ____17____ Admit the fear, and then remember you can deal with discomfort.
●____18____ At home or in your daily routine, there are no deadlines pushing you, no one checking if you’ll book the trip, and no trouble if you stay the same. So choosing to take bold (大胆的) action, like booking a trip, becomes a fight with yourself. You need motivation to believe the trip is more meaningful than staying put (待在原地).
●You feel conflicted (因心理冲突而不知所措的) about who you are. In your comfort zone, you have a set life rhythm, close relationships, and others’ fixed expectations of you. Wanting to be bolder and more curious can make you feel like you’re damaging your life or betraying (背叛) your current self, ____19____
●You fear the unknown. Even if your life isn’t perfect, you know what each day will bring. Travel brings new places, strange faces, and unexpected situations — all uncertainty and fear. ____20____ Every new experience makes you more confident in your ability to adapt.
A. There’s no outside stress to move.
B. Travel has many advantages in mind
C. This is natural survival ability, not weakness.
D. You are likely to meet new people on a travel.
E. But this anxiety gradually disappears as you go.
F. The comfort zone is familiar and expected for you
G. But you master your life and you decide who to be.

Then his jaw dropped too: a million points, worth 10,000, enough for 1,500 sandwiches. “I’m donating them to food banks and homeless shelters,” the man explained, giving us a week to ____24____.
____25____, because of the limited employees, we can’t prepare that many in a week. So we arranged for him to ____26____ 50 sandwiches daily for a month. The kitchen staff, moved by his ____27____, added extra fillings to each one. Every morning, he arrived on time, packed the sandwiches, and ____28____ for the destination. What started as an ordinary day became one filled with warmth and ____29____ because of his presence. For 30 straight days, he distributed every sandwich — one per person — becoming a(n) ____30____ face to the needy. By then, he was a ____31____ among our team.
His ____32____ taught me that kindness isn’t just grand gestures and that the kindness will ____33____ beyond what we can see. He still orders as usual, and his ____34____ are growing again.
