Required wear: Reading glasses and Docs. Boardmasters It's a festival of surfing and music set against Newquay's attractive coastline. A beach restaurant hosts DJ sets and parties each day.

B Due to the rising cost of rent and seemingly endless loan payments, a growing number of families are living in recreational vehicles and restored school buses. Some retirees are choosing to spend most of the year on cruise ships. But one teenager in Germany has decided to take advantage of his country's rail system, and has begun living on trains full-time. Lasse Stolley is a 17-year-old German software developer who spends his mornings grabbing breakfast inside the first-class lounge and his evenings in sleeping cars. He showers in gyms and leisure areas, and washes his clothes at train stations. He fits all of his possessions into a single backpack, including three sets of clothes, hygiene supplies, sleeping necessities, and technology. The teenager has been living this way since he was 16, when he graduated from high school. He says that originally convincing his parents was a struggle, but eventually they let him go. At first, Stolley had trouble sleeping on the train. And he also had to be careful to make sure his belongings didn't get stolen at night. But after the first couple of months, he was able to settle into a routine and thoroughly enjoy himself. Lasse Stolley obtained a BahnCard 100 card, allowing him to board and depart from any Deutsche Bahn unlimitedly. It costs Stolley approximately €10, 000 per year. Since a month's worth of rent in Germany costs €942 on average, train life is an appealing option for a young adult with dreams of travelling. However, Stolley says the best part is the freedom of not being bound to one place. He is able to take impromptu day trips. On an average day, Stolley can travel over 600 miles. Now he has travelled to more countries than many people ever will in their lifetime, and he shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. 24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Stolley? A. His activity venues. B. His work schedules. C. His basic necessities. D. His life arrangements. 25. What can be inferred about Stolley from paragraph 3? A. He once had his backpack stolen. B. He initially had a tough time on trains. C. He didn't get permission from his parents. D. He packed his belongings in several bags. 26. What's the most attractive to Stolley about his train life? A. Heavily discounted fares. B. The flexibility of remote work. C. More chances to make new friends. D. The freedom to go where he wants. 27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To appeal for low house prices. B. To introduce an unusual lifestyle. C. To promote the spirit of adventure. D. To explain the benefits of train travel. C Sports have got more and more environmentally friendly, whether it's by reducing plastic waste at venues, or producing medals with recycled materials. But SpoGomi, a competitive sport, is devoted to directly helping the planet. The name "SpoGomi" comes from "sports" and "gomi", which means "refuse" in Japanese. Japan created SpoGomi in 2008 as a way to promote refuse collection and has organized an annual competition since then. Now, supported by the Nippon Foundation, the sport is so popular that there are competitions around the world, including the first SpoGomi World Cup, which was held in Japan in November 2023. Teams from 21 countries selected through preliminary competitions competed, with the UK team coming out in first place. SpoGomi has a whole set of rules. Generally, teams are made up of three to five members who have to collect as much refuse as possible within a specified area and time limit. The most common duration is an hour for picking up refuse plus another 20 minutes to correctly sort it. There are other rules set up --- from safety rules like being prohibited from picking up litter near roads or railway tracks to sportsmanship rules like respecting the players in other teams. Points are awarded for every 100 grains of litter collected, with teams earning 10 points for burnable or unburnable waste. 12 points for glass bottles and metal cans, 25 points for PET bottles, and 150 points for cigarette butts. The team with the most litter wins. If one team ties with another, the team with more points will be the winner. In the end, all participants can be bathed in the pride of making the environment just a little bit cleaner and healthier. Udagawa Takayasu, a spokesperson for the Nippon Foundation, claims, "Although our team could not win in the preliminary tournament held last weekend, the city became markedly cleaner. That's what I'm proud of. " 28. What do we know about SpoGomi? A. It catches on very well. B. It is held every other year. C. It sets age limits on competitors D. It takes place only in rural areas. 29. How is the winner determined in case of a tie? A. By the diversity of garbage. B. By the time they spend. C. By the points they earn. D. By the total weight of litter, 30. Why is Udagawa Takayasu mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight his influence. B. To praise all the organizers. C. To show his good mentality. D. To prove the author's point. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Sports: A Driving Force for Clean Environment B. SpoGomi: A Competitive Sport for Litter Picking C. Japan: The Host of the First SpoGomi World Cups D. Britain: The Winner of the First SpoGomi World Cup D Colleges and universities across the US have seen a decades-long push for scholars to carry out multidisciplinary research---academic work that combines experts from different fields who mix know-how to work on a certain topic. Recently researchers from Kansas University sought to characterize multidisciplinary research that took place over one decade in the field of psychology. Graduate student Yoshiaki Fujita and Michael Vitevitch, professor and chair of psychology at KU, have published their findings in the journal Humanities and Social Sciences Communications. Using network analyses, the pair examined articles for the years 2008-2018 listed in the Social Sciences Citation Index database of the Web of Science, under the subject category of "Psychology, Multidisciplinary". They found just 25% of citations from articles in these journals referenced research published in fields outside psychology. "We were a little staggered to find out even though there are these calls to become more and more multidisciplinary, we're still really not, " Vitevitch said. “When you look at psychology journals identified as multidisciplinary --- they should be reaching out the most to other fields --- only about 25% of their citations were to journals from other fields. Half were to other psychology journals, and 25% were to other multidisciplinary psychology journals. " Fujita and Vitevitch found some topics in psychology attracted multidisciplinary work steadily throughout the decades---such as those relating to physical and mental health---while the percentage of multidisciplinary research for other topics would rise and fall. They looked at topics people were investigating to discover what themes people were studying in this multidisciplinary fashion, and whether there are areas that are really hot and areas that have sort of died off. The information provided by the network analyses may be useful not only for individual researchers looking for new research questions, but also for academic or research administrators who want to boost multidisciplinary scholarship. Furthermore, the researchers' approach should also be effective in measuring multidisciplinary research in other fields besides psychology. 32. What does the study focus on? A. The type of articles that were highly cited. B. The frequency of the citations to published articles. C. The extent to which psychology is multidisciplinary. D. The number of multidisciplinary psychology journals 33. What does the underlined word "staggered" in paragraph 4 mean? A. Excited. B. Confident. C. Astonished. D. Proud. 34. What do the researchers intend to do by studying the article topics? A. Diversify research themes. B. Know the author's preferences. C. Assess the quality of the papers. D. Identify promising multidisciplinary topics. 35. What might the author of the text continue talking about? A. The application of network analyses to other subjects B. The impact of this study on psychology research. C. The gaps of multidisciplinary research. D. The limitations of the study approach. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 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。 You've probably been told not to talk to strangers, but it can be really rewarding to communicate with people you don't know. 36_____, not to mention improving your conversational skills.

I was told to make a list of four to three friends who'd enjoy the water theme park in nearby Tampa, Florida. Since we didn't have any spare money, the trip would be a packed lunch and no extras. I didn't care - I was getting a special treat! The great day arrived, and my mother, younger brother, three friends, and I piled into our old beat-up car. We headed out of town on the 90-minute ride to the amusement park for a day of sun and fun. About halfway to the water park, the car started running badly and the "check engine" light came on. My mom pulled the car over. We were stuck. An hour passed as we waited for someone to stop and help. A police officer stopped to see if we were all right and called a tow truck to pick up the car. On the way to the service station, Mom told the officer that we had been headed to the water park for my birthday treat. The officer dropped us off and left after giving me a short ride in the police car as a birthday present. At the service station, the mechanic explained the water pump needed to be replaced. The cost, plus the tow, would be $135. Mom started crying and pulled me aside. She explained we wouldn't have enough money to go anywhere but home, and we'd have to save up to go somewhere else for my birthday later. I was disappointed but tried not to show it, knowing even at that age that we didn't have much money. We tried to make the best of the day; the six of us having a picnic at the service station with the cake Mom had baked. Eventually, the mechanic called Mom into the office, saying the repairs were completed but he had to make a phone call before we could leave. He told Mom to have a seat and wait. Twenty minutes later, the police officer came with a wrapped present. With great gratitude, Mom tried to give the $135 back to the officer. 参考管案及解析 第一部分 听力 Text 1 M: What would you like for your starter? W: I'd like French onion soup, please. And two Thai chicken and rice for our main course. Text 2 W: Have you read Origin by Dan Brown yet, Bill? M: Not yet, but I learned about it from our teacher. W: I've just finished it. The plot is full of twists and turns. I couldn't put it down. Text 3 W: Are you ready to leave? Your father is going to wait for us outside the department store at four and the play is on at half past four. M: Don't worry. We'll take a taxi and get to the store 10 minutes early. Text 4 W: I appreciate you coming so quickly, officer. When I came home from school, I found my apartment broken into. M: What a mess! Was the door locked when you left? W: I think that they came in through a window. Text 5 W: I just missed my flight. Id like to change it to tomorrow noon. M: OK. There's still one seat available on that flight, but the rescheduling costs a little extra. W: That's great. Thank you. Text 6 M: The blue wallpaper matches the color of the furniture, but I would like to make improvements. W: What would make this apartment better for you to rent? M: I think that it would look better with a blue carpet. W: You can have a different carpet， but you have to pay more money. M: How much more would it cost? W: It could vary quite a bit, between 2 and 10 dollars per square yard. M: When can you finish with the new carpet? W: Your new apartment will be ready by next Monday. Text 7 W: Hi, Duncan. Was the hotel nice? M: Beautiful! We were high up in the mountains. We looked down on the lake, where we swam every morning and across to the town on the other side. W: I'd like to do the tennis course. Was it very expensive? M: Um, the full price in the summer is 265 pounds, but it only cost me 205 pounds because I'm a student. In the autumn it's less--185 pounds. W: What did you do in the evenings? M: Sometimes we watched videos of tennis matches, but on the last night we danced and sang songs in the hotel garden. That was great! Text 8 M: So Anna, how long had you learned foreign languages before senior school? W: Well, I started at a primary school, where we had a French club. It was just an after-school club once a week for 45 minutes. It was much better than having a private teacher at home. It was always great fun which, I guess, is why we all liked it so much. It wasn't like any other classes during the day. They all seemed boring compared to our French lessons. M: Many people use word-building and songs to learn new words. How about you? W: These are really useful. I prefer to learn and use new words in sentences. I often have conversations with a friend using any new words I've learned. For me, it is the best way to remember new words. Text 9 W: Jack, is that right--you started out taking photos of street signs? M: That's right. It was all due to my being attracted to the bright colors. W: Can you tell me a little about your winning photograph? M: It was the first day of dry weather for a while, and I decided to play around with my new camera. I started out in my own yard. There wasn't much to photograph until this butterfly happened to land on a large flower, and fortunately I was able to get what turned out to be the prize-winning photo. W: How do you like the other photos from the competition? M: I've seen the works on display with mine and they are of high standard. There are photos of animals and plants from all over the world. W: Has anything changed for you since winning the competition? M: Before winning, I'd been concentrating mainly on taking photos of people. After coming to London for the exhibition and talking to all the other photographers, I intend to get more into doing shots of landscapes in different countries. Text 10 Hello, I'm Sarah Brown. I've been a weather forecaster for a television company for seven years. Two years ago, I became the head of the weather department, which has a staff of clerks. At thirty years old, I'm the youngest ever head of weather department and the first woman to do the job. I normally work eight hours a day and meanwhile, I do ten or twelve forecasts. At night, we all take turns to work. Before doing a weather forecast, I analyze data on the computer. There isn't much time to learn what I have to say, but fortunately, I've never forgotten my words, and so I don't get nervous. Because our news and weather service goes out worldwide, people sometimes recognize me in really distant places. Once, in an Indian village, a man took me to have a photo taken with all his family. People occasionally even write and ask me to marry them! 1~5 BAABC 11~15 ACCBC 6~10ACCBB 16~20 AABCA 第二部分 阅读 【语篇导读】本文是应用文。文章介绍了英国将于2025年夏季举办的几个音乐节的相关信息。 21.

I applied to work for the garden in advance. Then I completed the required training online at my convenience before I began volunteering. I worked mainly as a guide, leading tours, answering questions, and providing interpretation for foreign tourists. At the weekend, I participated in hands-on gardening activities, such as watering and weeding. This experience offered me a good opportunity to improve my communication skills. Moreover, I gained a great appreciation of the role that plants play in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem. I look forward to your coming here and showing you around this garden. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 Twenty minutes later, the police officer came with a wrapped present. He walked up, handed me the present, and wished me a happy birthday. Before I responded, he paid the mechanic for the repairs and tow. It was at that moment that I realized why the mechanic told Mom to wait. He was requested to do so by the police officer who promised to return to pay him. After carefully inspecting the repairs, the officer said to Mom, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long - The car is working properly now. You may continue your journey. With great gratitude, Mom tried to give the $135 back to the officer. Whatever Mom said, the officer would not take the money. He told Mom that he knew we didn't have much money and that my birthday trip shouldn't be ruined because of something we had no control over. With these words, he departed humbly. To this day, I have been grateful for his kindness. Not only did he save my birthday trip, but he also changed my life. I always help others when I get a chance and try to instill this concept into my children's lives. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
