At the age of 16, Lasse Stolley from Germany went out for a change after graduation from junior high school. Little did he know that this change would take him farther than 500,000 kilometers— all on trains.
Inspired by a movie he had watched online, Stolley bought a Bahncard 100, a ticket that allows unlimited (无限制的) travel on all Deutsche Bahn trains in Germany for a year. But Stolley didn’t just travel on those trains. He made his home on trains, living there full-time. During the day, he took trips and at night, he slept across the seats on high-speed trains.
“I can decide every day where I want to go, whether to the Alps, to a big city or to the sea,” Stolley said.
Each morning, Stolley would check the train connections for the day, and decide what journeys he would take based on the weather and his mood (心情). He might stop off at a swimming pool for a shower, or enjoy the views with a hike between train rides.
While he didn’t pay rent, Stolley said that he had spent around $10,000 a year on living expenses, including his $6,400 train pass and entry cost to things like swimming pools. But since Stolley was a“Platinum” Deutsche Bahn customer, he could eat from Deutsche Bahn for free.
To cover his extra cost, he made a buck on the move by working as a programmer from his laptop (手提电脑). In 2023 alone, Stolley spent over 3,700 hours on trains. He also took trains across Europe with an Interrail pass, and travelled as far as Ankara in Turkey. All of his adventures were recorded on his online blog, named“Life on the Train”.
24. What drove Stolley’s interest in travelling by train
A. A lesson. B. A book. C. A ticket. D. A film.
25. Why was Stolley’s journey special
A. He lived on trains. B. He never got off the same train.
C. His train journey lasted over a year. D. He didn’t spend any money.
26. What do the underlined words “a buck” in the last paragraph refer to
A. A choice. B. Paper. C. A difference. D. Money.
27. Which word can best describe Stolley
A. Honest. B. Adventurous. C. Easygoing. D. Warmhearted.
C
Every year the Weifang International Kite Festival amazes visitors and netizens with innovative (创新的) kites, as “paper birds” of unimaginable designs keep appearing in the sky.
This year, 622 kite artists from 59 countries and regions took part in the event. There were a variety of activities, including daylight and night kite shows, a kite flying competition, an exhibition of kite-themed creative artworks and so on.
During the festival, visitors were amazed by many great and innovative kites on display. The longest one was a 280-meter-long Chinese dragon kite, while a 175-meter-long centipede kite took several people to control it while it was flying across the sky. Another giant kite, a whale, had to be flown by a team of a dozen men.
Many kites contained elements (元素) of traditional Chinese culture. The 50-meter-long kite of a phoenix was something special, together with the seventh fairy from Chinese legend.
Some people said the flying objects at the 40th Weifang International Kite Festival reminded them of the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, but they were hundreds of times bigger in scale and crazier.
Compared with the past festivals, this year’s event was highlighted (突出) by many innovations by both experienced and young kite makers.
The innovative kites presented this year brought many pleasant surprises to kite lovers all over the world, and will bring the people of China and other countries closer.
28. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the kites

Imagine staying in the icy wilderness of Antarctica, cut off from the rest of the world, with only a small group of scientists. Such a group might be expected to develop a culture of its own, but would that develop a new shared accent (口音)
As part of the project to explain the spoken accent development, a group of researchers led by Jonathan Harrington, professor of phonetics and speech processing at the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich, started the study. The researchers studied a group of 11 scientists spending six months on an island just west of the Antarctic Peninsula.
The scientists were from several countries, including the US, the UK, Iceland and Germany. As part of the study, they had to record themselves reading a list of vocabularies from a computer screen every few weeks. The list included words with vowel (元音) sounds /i:/, /u:/ and / / that have been found to change over time in different English accents.
The recordings were then sent to researchers. When the recordings were studied, the researchers found that the pronunciation of words with an / / sound— such as “flow,” “code” and “sew”— had changed a little over the six months. The scientists began to pronounce it more toward the front of their mouths than toward the back. (British pronunciations are already typically fronter than American / /.)
The researchers believe it shows the development of a new accent among the scientists. Harrington said, “When we speak to each other, we remember that speech, and then that has an influence on our own speech production.”
While only small changes were recorded, the researchers believe the experiment helps to explain how different accents are created among enclosed (封闭的) communities— and may help us know why American and British English have developed as they have.
32. What were the scientists expected to do during the study
A. Tell stories. B. Show pictures.
C. Make sentences. D. Read and record words.
33. Which word’s pronunciation may change in the enclosed community in the study
A. Show. B. Egg. C. Cup. D. Hat.
34. Which of the following do the researchers agree with concerning the finding
A. It proves life in Antarctica is difficult.
B. It uncovers the connection of vowel sounds.
C. It helps build communications among people with different accents.
D. It may explain American and British English’s development.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Different Accents Around the World
B. The Development of English Language
C. Does a New Accent Form Among Enclosed Communities
D. What Would Scientists’ Daily Life Be Like in Antarctica

Family meetings are a good way to improve communication among all family members. To hold a successful family meeting, you need to avoid the following common mistakes.
Giving up too soon. 36. It may take some time for everyone to grow comfortable with family meetings. But if you hold them regularly (定期) and try to make them better, your meetings can become helpful to everyone in the family.

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。
Ari lived on a big island called Iceland. His home was a small fishing village by the sea. Spending a lot of time alone in his little house, Ari often looked at the faraway view and wondered what was out there.
One day, Ari thought, “I want to find a true friend far away from here.” So, he decided to write a letter, hoping to find a friend who understood his feelings.
Ari wrote about the volcanoes (火山) and glaciers (冰川) on his snowy island. He described the beautiful Northern Lights that painted the sky with colors like green, blue and pink at night. For many days, Ari wrote about his thoughts and feelings. Then, he put the letter in a bottle and closed it really well.
When the water was high, Ari threw the bottle into the sea and wished on a bright star that someone would find his letter.
A year passed, and many cold nights went by after Ari threw his message into the sea. One day, he got a letter in the mail. He didn’t know who it was from, but he was very happy and quickly opened the envelope (信封).
The letter said:
Dear Ari,
I found your letter in a bottle that washed up on my beach. I live on an island called Sardinia. My island is warm and has mountains, white beaches, and green waters, though sometimes there are storms. I also want a true friend. I hope we can write to each other and learn more about our lives.
Your new friend,
Marco
For three years, Ari and Marco wrote letters to each other. They talked about their cultures, traditions, and favorite foods. They shared secrets about their villages and wrote about their festivals and music. Marco’s letters made Ari feel less lonely. Ari knew he had found his best friend.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

Without telling Marco, Ari decided to go with his father on a business trip to Sardinia, where he would meet Marco in person.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
However, two years later, Ari didn’t receive Marco’s letters for about two months, which reminded Ari of the storms Marco once mentioned.

【答案与解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新型迷你KTV的优势及其受欢迎程度。
56. singing 考查非谓语动词。“enjoy doing”意为“喜欢做某事”，为固定用法。此处非谓语动词作宾语。
57. has 考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据空前“Songs are sung, food and drinks are enjoyed”及并列连词 and 可知，此处用一般现在时；不定代词 everyone作主语时，表示单数，故此处填 has。
58. called 考查非谓语动词。所给动词与其逻辑主语 a new type of KTV存在动宾关系，因此用所给动词的过去分词，作后置定语。
59. be found 考查情态动词的被动语态。情态动词后用动词原形；主语 Mini KTVs是谓语动词 find的承受者。
60. affordable 考查词形转换。并列连词 and提示所填词应与 happy 构成并列，共同修饰其后的名词 way，故用所给词的形容词 affordable。
61. their 考查代词。空后是名词，因此用形容词性物主代词。
62. the 考查冠词。“the number of”意为“......的数量”，为固定用法。
63. cities 考查名词复数。空前数字500提示此处用名词复数。
64. who/ that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，该空引导一个限制性定语从句，且从句中缺少主语；先行词为 customers，指人，故此处填关系代词 who 或 that。
65. by 考查介词。空前 being heard 提示此处用 by 表示“被”。

第二节
One possible version:
Without telling Marco, Ari decided to go with his father on a business trip to Sardinia, where he would meet Marco in person. They took a long ship journey across the sea. When Ari finally met Marco, his eyes sparkled with warmth. Marco knew it was Ari right away, and his heart felt like a bird flying. During the days they spent together, Marco showed Ari the beautiful mountains, white beaches and green waters. Before long, it was time for Ari to leave for home. They promised to keep on writing letters to each other.
However, two years later, Ari didn’t receive Marco’s letters for about two months, which reminded Ari of the storms Marco once mentioned. Ari began to worry as the days turned into months without any word from Marco. Finally, after what seemed like forever, a letter arrived from Marco. His letter said sorry for not replying to Ari’s letter on time, and explained that a terrible storm had hit Sardinia, causing damage to his village and cutting off communication. He had been busy helping with the recovery efforts and had not had the chance to write. Relief washed over Ari as he read Marco’s words. And as the following years went by, their letters continued to cross the seas conveying their forever friendship.
