Eilish Fisher's first words were a quote from Henry David Thoreau's famous nature poem
Walden,which hung on a print in the farmhouse where she grew up.The themes of
Thoreau's poem match Fisher's twin interests in nature and verse (韵文).With the release of her
first novel,Fia and the Last Snow Deer,a book for younger readers with a poetic quality that
will appeal to both adults and children,these two passions are beautifully shown.
Growing up on the farm in rural Vermont,Fisher lived with all kinds of animals. Before
she could read,her parents used to read to her poems by Mary Oliver and WB Yeats.Fisher herself was educated through the Steiner system.She studied stories from the
Bible,Homer and the Greek mythology(神话),transforming what she learned into home made
textbooks that she drewand sewed,which were'presented to her classmates at the end of every
school year,as a Steiner tradition.
She took a master's and then a doctor's degree in medieval(中世纪的)Irish poetry, but
then she pivoted completely.“After spending years in academia,I missed animals and that
connection that I had with them since childhood.I suppose I had confidence to just follow my
heart,not to be afraid to take risks and try new things."she said.She is based now in the
Wicklow wilds of the Glenmalure Valley.
The intention to write for children was stimulated by a wander Fisher took one winter
morning in the remote hills around Glenmalure.“The calm environment reminds me of what Ihad
read about the discovery of reindeer bones in Ireland.I decided to write about human- deer
relationship.”Initially writing in prose(散文) ,she chose to turn it into a verse novel,
which posed a particular challenge for the writer.With an illustrator,the book Fia and the Last
Snow Deer became visually unique.It won the award forchildren's book of the year at the Irish
Book Awards.
24.What's a characteristic of Fia and the Last Snow Deer?
A.It copies Walden in content. B.It combines nature and verse
C.It focuses on Irish mythology. D.It describes Fisher's childhood.
25.What's the Steiner tradition?
A.Handing in a final paper, B.Sharing strategies on writing.
C.Giving presentations on poems. D.Making stories into handmade books.
26.What do the underlined words“she pivoted completely”in paragraph 4 mean?
A.She stayed in academia. B.She kept loving animals.
C.She changed her career path. D.She turned to ancient poetry. 27.What
led Fisher to write the awarded book?
A.The inspiration during a walk. B.A book on human-deer relationship.
C.The enthusiasm for poetry writing. D.A historical discovery about reindeer.

Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupidet?Data released on December 10th by the
OECD,a club of mostly rich countries,suggest this may not be all in your head. Roughlyevery ten years the organisation asks adults in dozens of places to sit tests in abilities to
calculate,read and write.
The latest tests were carried out in 31 rich countries.They suggest that a fifth of adults do
no better in maths and reading than might be expected of a primary-school child.In
maths,average scores have risen in a few places over the past ten years,but fallen in almost
as many.In reading and writing,a lot more countries have seen scores decline than
advance,despite the fact that adults hold more and higher educational qualifications than ever
before.
Some guess that video games and social media are reducing sharpness.It is"just as likely that
education and training systems have failed.
Yet a century of extreme technological change has not cut demand for people who are good
with numbers,or who have a way with words.Adults who do badly in the OECD's tests earn
vastly less than those who are expert in them.They are also in poorer health and less
satisfied:with their life.
Improving lessons for children is the surest way of creating more capable grown-ups.
England's adults have topped the OECD's league table,mostly because the youngest ones
(aged 16-24)are scoring better than before.That may reflect reforms which have made exams
for older teenagers more difficult,and begun requiring youngsters who fail them to try again.
The second task is to oil creaking( 嘎吱作响的)systems for educating adults.These hand
dropouts second chances;they also serve people who change careers and help migrants
integrate.Yet people with the weakest skills tend to have the least time and money for self-
improvement.They are less likely to attend adult classes,or get training,even though they are
the most in need.
28.Which of the following best.describes the result of the test?
A.Encouraging. B.Debatable. C.Disappointing. D.Predictable.
29.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The development of technology.
B.The necessity of advanced education.
C.The living conditions of modern adults.
D.The importance of calculating and reading skills.
30.What is indicated by the example of England's adults in paragraph 5?
A.The older adults perform better in the test.
B.England's education to teenagers is ineffective.
C.Children have to participate in different exams.D.Stricter academic requirements to teenagers count.
31.What can we learn about the weakest-skilled adults?
A.They seek chances to get improved.
B.They are in need of more job offers.
C.They lack training to upgrade themselves.
D.They are content with the current situation.

Leonardo da Vinci's world-famous painting,the Mona Lisa,inspired the Mona Lisa
effect:the subject:of an image is always looking directly at you,no matter where you stand.
But accordingto research by scientists from Germany's Bielefeld University,published in
the journal i-Perception,there's one painting that definitively doesn't demonstrate the Mona Lisa
effect:the Mona Lisa herself.
Horstmann and his assistants asked 24 participants to assess the stare ofthe Mona Lisa.
Instead of simply asking each participant whether they felt the Mona Lisa was looking at
them;they displayed the painting on a computer screen,and asked the participants to measure the
direction of the stare on a two-meter ruler placed horizontally( 水 平 地 )
between them and the screen.
The distance between the participants and the computer screen remained the same,at 66 cm,but
the ruler was moved both closer to and further away from the screen throughout the trial.The
researchers also altered the size and visible area of the Mona Lisa to determine whether the
perception of her stare was influenced by particular elements of her face.The
participants were asked to respond to the painting at various degrees of zoom (焦距),between
30%and 70%,and saw crops that only included her eyes and nose,as well as others that showed
her whole head.To avoid the participants settling on the same measurement on the ruler every
time,the participants were showed the Mona Lisa moved 3.4 cm to the left and right.
Previous research cited in the study indicates the range of the Mona Lisa effect:the
subject of an image will appear to be looking at its viewer if its stare is within 5 degrees to the
left or right.The stare of the“Mona Lisa”,however,was measured by the study participants at
an average angle of 15.4 degrees to the right—in short,the Mona Lisa is definitely not
looking at her audience.
“There is no doubt about the existence of the Mona Lisa effect,”Horstmann concluded. “It
just does not occur with Mona Lisa herself.”
32.What's the purpose of paragraph 1?A.To present the topic of the text. B.To argue over a conclusion.
C.To popularize someknowledge. D.To provide some guidance.
33.How was the research carried out?
A.By conducting a questionnaire survey.
B.By comparing different types of paintings.
C.By evaluating the subject from different angles.
D.By analyzing the main features of the painting.
34.What does the underlined word"crops"in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Parts of a painting. B.Techniques of drawing.
C.Movements of a picture. D.Measurements of a photo.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Mona Lisa:A Masterpiece
B.Does Mona Lisa Really Look at You?
C.A Phenomenon;The Mona Lisa Effect
D.What Is the Range of the Mona Lisa Effect?

Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts. 36 What if there
is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time?
37 They are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving.AI shopping
agents not only suggest what you might like,but also act on your behalf.Imagine this:You
remind AI to find a winter coat under $200 that's highly rated and will arrive by Sunday.In
seconds,it scans websites,compares prices,checks reviews,confirms availability and places the
order,all while you go about your day.
Unlike traditional recommendation engines,AI agents learn your preferences and
handle tasks autonomously.The agents are built with machine learning and natural language
processing. 3 8 Looking ahead,AI agents are likely to not only master personal
shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems.They are likely to be
able to book tailored experiences and handle payments across platforms.
Consumers today.are focused on value,looking for deals and comparing prices across
platforms.Having an assistant perform these tasks could be a remarkable time saver. 3 9 A
recent study using the GPT-4.0model achieved 85%accuracy in copying the thoughts andbehaviors of over 1,000 people after they interacted with the AI for just two hours,which is
really a breakthrough.
AI agents are moving beyond recommendations to autonomously performing complex
tasks such as automating refunds(退款)and approving pricing decisions. 4 0
A.But can AI truly learn your preferences?
B.The new innovation in artificial intelligence is AI agents.
C.Companies using AI agents are seeing measurable benefits.
D.A single search for running shoes can produce hundreds of results.
E.They can learn from their interactions with users and become smarter:
F.This is reshaping consumers'shopping habits and how businesses operate.
G.Meanwhile,the nature of search and advertising is undergoing a major shift.

My name is Li Hua,and I'd like to share a memorable experience with you all.第二节(满分25分)
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。
It was the third week of December,but I couldn't even consider Christmas,because this
year I didn't knowhow to celebrate it.A month ago,our doctor informed that my two-
year-old son suffered from celiac disease(麸质过敏症).Any exposure to flour,milk,soy, or
corn(even a single bite)would cause the little boy to be in a miserable situation for the next
week.
Having a child of food sensitivities,I felt awkward buying stuffs not causing allergic (过敏
的)reactions for the Christmas cookies.But it wasn't the lack of cookies,parties or stuffing
themselves that bothered me—it was the lack of tradition,which,as a child,I looked forward
to.What could I give to my children?What was Christmas going to look like for our family?
I bought lots of stuffs including almond milk(牛奶替代品),allergen-free chocolate
chips,potatoes and so on.By the time I got back to my car after shopping,it had started
snowing.First heavy snow of the season.These magical holiday bits and pieces felt like they
would just float by us this year,maybe forever.I cried my way home.
My three-and-a-half-year old daughter was shouting when I walked in the door. "Mama,look
at the snow.It's snowing outside and everywhere!"Her excitement spilled over until we had
her and her brother dressed warmly and ready to play in snow on the ground.My husband took
them out while I made dinner.
Watching them playing with rosy cheeks and runny noses through the kitchen window, I
suddenly remembered my creative mum who hadrecently made mashed(捣碎的)potatoes with
almond milk,and I remembered they tasted normal.
注意：
(1)续写的词数应为 150 个左右；

And that's when a sudden inspiration came to me.
My husband was amazed at it,“You made hot chocolate?Can we have any?”
