My parents had purchased an Island Packet 445 ten mnths prir, and the day t bard this bat had finally cme. I was 1l years ld and knew abslutely nthing abut this cruising (海上航游) lifestyle my father had been speaking s highly f fr the previus five years. The nly thing I knew fr sure was that I didn't want t leave my hme. My father was excited, my mther nervus, my brther disinterested, and I sullen. I was nt at all eager abut this change in my lifestyle.
The first three mnths n the bat had nt been very easy. What my dad called an adjustment perid I called a nightmare. But, after three mnths f traveling, we had a lucky break. In La Paz, there was anther cruising bat with a 13-year-ld by abard. Tw weeks later, Glen and I culd be seen endlessly bgie barding (趴板冲浪) the crashing waves t the beach. After meeting Glen, cruising fr me began t get better and better. At sme pint during these mnths, I decided t give this cruising idea a chance.
One year later, we cntinued turing thrugh the Suth Pacific. I was learning new skills and learning hw t wrk independently. I ften tk a five-hur watch during the dark hurs f lng passages. This was quite a bit f respnsibility t hand ver t a 13-year-ld, especially cnsidering I was in charge f adjusting sails as the cnditins changed, and keeping an eye and ear ut fr any prblems. Almst everybdy in the cruising cmmunity treated me as an adult while still understanding I was a child, thereby giving me the flexibility t make childish mistakes.
As f this writing, my family has nw been abard fr three years. We have plans t return t Canada in 12 mnths and, similar t hw I ppsed mving nt the bat, I am nw cmpletely ppsed t mving ff it. I have s much fun and learn s many things n this bat that I can't imagine ever returning “hme”, a place I hardly evenremember.
24. What des the underlined wrd “'sullen” in the first paragraph prbably mean?
A. Upset. B. Calm. C. Cnfused D. Astnished
25. What made the authr start t embrace the cruising idea?
A. Overcming the fear f nightmares. B. Having fun with smene f his age.
C. Learning hw t wrk independently. D. Making a breakthrugh in barding skills.
26.Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe the authr?
A. Stubbrn but reliable. B. Childish but adaptable. C. Incnsiderate but flexible. D. Dependent but respnsible
27. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Benefits f the Cruising Lifestyle B. First Day abard Island Packet 445
C. What Mtivates a Teenager t Change His Lifestyle D. Hw a Yung Sailr Learns t Lve the Cruising Life

A new study led by researchers at the Yale Schl f Public Health finds air pllutin may negatively impact standardized test scres. Using data frm the Nrth Carlina Educatin Research Data Center, the researchers tracked 2.8 millin public schl students in Nrth Carlina frm 2001 t 2018 and measured their expsure t PM2.5fund in plluted air. While previus research has shwn negative effects n academic perfrmance, it has relied n relatively small r less representative samples. “The biggest strength f this study is that we tracked every student in Nrth Carlina in thse years, fr the whle time perid that they were in the public schls,” said Emma Zang, cauthr f the study.
The study als finds that test scres f ethnicm1nrit1esand girls are disprprtinately(不成比例地)impacted by PM2.5 levels. “Females and ethnic minrities face sexism and racism,” said Zang. “There are a lt f plicies that are nt friendly twards them. S, when they're expsed t the same level f air pllutin, they dn't have the resurces t lessen the negative influences." Mre privileged ppulatins hwever, might have mre resurces that allw them t live in a better envirnment, such as in huses with air purifiers.
“The level f PM2.5 pllutin in the US is relatively lw, but students living in areas belw the current air quality standard f annual PM2.5 cncentratin are still negatively impacted by air pllutin when it cmes t their test scres,” said Zang. “We shuld aim t strengthen the annual PM2.5 standard t better prtect ur children.”
Air pllutin is knwn t cntribute t disease and death, and it als negatively affects students’ academic perfrmance even at lw levels f pllutin. The subsequent studies, the researchers said, wuld invlve lking at whether the findings hld true indifferent areas, and als the reasns behind the ethnic and sexual differences.28. What's the greatest advantage f the study?
A. Tracking each student fr 18 years. B. Cllecting mre cmprehensive data.
C. Measuring students’PM2.5 expsure precisely. D. Building links between air pllutin and test scres.
29.Accrding t Zang, ethnic minrities and girls
A. benefit frm current plicies n PM2.5 pllutin B. have the lwest test scres due t their identities
C. lack resurces t reduce the impact f air pllutin D. suffer frm educatinal inequalities wing t their backgrund
30. What's Zang ding in paragraph 3?
A. Offering a suggestin B. Raising a dubt. C. Making a cmparisn D. Giving a predictin.
31. What might be the fcus f the fllw-up studies?
A. Applicability f the findings t ther regins. B. Ways t address racial and sexual differences.
C. Lng-term impacts f air pllutin n children. D. Establishment f PM2.5 standard fit fr children.

French schls nce prized the nutritinal value f wine. S cmmnly was it served t children that in 1956 the gvernment banned wine in schl canteens and even then, nly fr the under-14s. France was the wrld's biggest wine prducer last year. A bttle f wine has lng been t the French meal what fast driving is t the German mtrway: an rdinary habit, natinal right and persnal pleasure.
N lnger. In 2022 rughly 10% f French peple drank wine every day, dwn frm half in 1980. Back in 1960 the French drank an average f 116 liters f everyday wine per persn. Between 2000 and 2018 that shrank frm 28 liters t just 17. A glass f wine is an increasingly rare sight at the lunch table.
What is ging n? It is nt simply price. A bttle f Brdeaux can still be fund in a French supermarket fr under €3. Sme village c-peratives sell lcal prduce straight frm the vat fr €1.90 a liter less than fresh range juice. A better explanatin is that a beer-drinking trend is challenging Mediterranean habits. The French nw tell plls that they prefer beer t wine. Beer accunts fr mre than half f all alchl bught in French supermarkets. Even in suthern France, sme cafes serve imprted Belgian r German beer n tap.
Mst imprtant, a health-cnscius yunger generatin is drinking less. A quarter f French 18- t 34-year-lds say they never drink alchl. Fully 39% f under-35s say that they d nt drink wine, next t nly 27% f the ver-50s. Le dry January has entered the natinal vcabulary. N- and lw-alchl drinks are spreading. A yunger generatin is rejecting ld Mediterranean habits. In an attempt t “'speak t Generatin Z by adpting its cdes”, Pernd Ricard, a drinks giant, runs a marketing campaign with the slgan “Drink !”
Of curse, cnsumptin f high-quality wine remains strng. But the decline f cheaper stuff has wider cnsequences fr France. Last summer the gvernment allwede200m t buy surplus lw-end wine that prducers culd nt sell, In sme areas, farmers are tearing ff lesser vines (葡萄藤) altgether. Less alchl may imprve health, but nt necessarily the md r landscapes f rural France.
32.What can we learn frm the first paragraph?
A. Serving wine t French children has been banned B. Drinking wine is as dangerus a habit as fast driving.
C. Wine cnsumptin has lng been a practice in France. D. Nutritinal value f wine is widely recgnized in France.
33. What's the majr reasn fr the French peple drinking less wine?
A. Health cncern. B. Challenge frm beer. C. Ecnmic decline. D. Shrtage f wine supply.
34. What des the underlined part “Le dry January" in paragraph 4 prbably refer t?
A.A seasn f pr grape harvest. B. A perid when the weather is dry.
C. An rganizatin advcating drinking water. D. A campaign calling fr less wine cnsumptin.
35. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Cnsumptin f lw-quality wine remains unchanged.
B. Prductin f high-end wine is lwer than that f lw-end wine.
C. Farmers wh prduce mre wine are awarded by the gvernment.
D. Nt all French peple benefit frm the decline f wine cnsumptin
