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 drew and 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 I had 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 for children’s book of the year at the Irish Book Awards. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了Eilish Fisher的成长经历、教育背景、职业转变以及她创作第一本儿童诗歌小说《Fia and the Last Snow Deer》的灵感来源和过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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.(艾尔西·费舍尔的第一句话引用了亨利·戴维·梭罗著名自然诗《瓦尔登湖》中的一段话，这幅印刷品挂在她成长的农舍里。梭罗诗歌的主题与费舍尔对自然和韵文的双重兴趣相契合。随着她的第一部小说《菲娅和最后的雪鹿》的发布，这部面向年轻读者的书具有诗意的特质，既吸引成人也吸引儿童，完美地展现了她的这两项热爱)”可知，Fia and the Last Snow Deer结合了自然和韵文。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“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 drew and sewed, which were presented to her classmates at the end of every school year, as a Steiner tradition.(费舍尔本人就是通过Steiner体系接受教育的。她学习了《圣经》、荷马和希腊神话中的故事，并将所学内容转化为自制的手工书籍，这些书籍由她亲手绘制并缝制，在每学年结束时作为礼物送给她的同学，这是Steiner教育体系的一项传统)”可知，Steiner传统是将故事制作成手工书籍。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分后文““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.(“在学术界呆了几年之后，我想念动物，想念我从小和它们之间的联系。我想我有信心跟随自己的心，不害怕冒险和尝试新事物。”她说。她现在住在格兰玛卢河谷的威克洛荒野)”可知，她本来是在学术界呆了几年，但是后来她完全离开了，推知“she pivoted completely”是指她的职业路径发生了改变。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“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 I had read about the discovery of reindeer bones in Ireland. I decided to write about human-deer relationship.” (一个冬天的早晨，费舍尔在格伦玛卢周围的偏远山区漫步，激发了他为儿童写作的念头。“平静的环境让我想起了我读到的关于在爱尔兰发现驯鹿骨头的报道。我决定写人与鹿的关系。”)可知，一次散步中的灵感促使费舍尔写下了这本获奖的书。故选A。 C Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupider? Data released on December 10th by the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries, suggest this may not be all in your head. Roughly every 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. 8. Which of the following best describes the result of the test? A. Encouraging. B. Debatable. C. Disappointing. D. Predictable. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了经合组织对31个富裕国家成年人进行的数学、阅读和写作能力的测试结果，以及由此引发的一些思考和对策。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“They suggest that a fifth of adults do no better in maths and reading than might be expected of a primary-school child. (他们表示，五分之一的成年人在数学和阅读方面的表现并不比预期的小学生好。)”和第二段最后一句“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. (在阅读和写作方面，得分下降的国家远比进步的国家多，尽管成年人拥有比以往任何时候都更多、更高的学历。)”可知，测试结果并不理想，是令人失望的。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“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. (然而，一个世纪以来技术的巨变并未减少对擅长数字或擅长文字表达的人才的需求。在经济合作与发展组织（OECD）的测试中表现不佳的成年人，其收入远低于那些表现优异的成年人。他们的健康状况也更差，对生活也更不满意。)”可知，本段主要强调了计算和阅读能力对成年人来说非常重要。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“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. (英国的成年人在经合组织（OECD）的排名中位居榜首，这主要是因为最年轻的群体（16-24岁）的得分较以往有所提高。这可能反映了相关改革措施的成效，这些改革使得针对年长青少年的考试难度增加，并且开始要求考试不及格的年轻人重新参加考试。)”可知，英格兰的成年人在测试中表现出色，主要是因为对青少年的学术要求更加严格，使他们的考试成绩有所提高。所以，这个例子说明了对青少年更严格的学术要求很重要。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“They are less likely to attend adult classes, or get training, even though they are the most in need. (他们不太可能参加成人课程或接受培训，尽管他们是最需要。)”可知，技能最弱的成年人缺乏提升自己所需的培训。故选C。 D 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 according to 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 of the 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.” 12. What’s the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To present the topic of the text. B. To argue over a conclusion. C. To popularize some knowledge. D. To provide some guidance. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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? 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对蒙娜丽莎画像的研究，研究表明蒙娜丽莎并没有看着观众，即蒙娜丽莎效应在蒙娜丽莎本人身上并不存在。 12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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.(达·芬奇的世界名画《蒙娜丽莎》启发了蒙娜丽莎效应：无论你站在哪里，画中的主体总是直视着你)”和第二段“But according to 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.(但根据德国比勒费尔德大学科学家在《i-Perception》杂志上发表的研究，有一幅画绝对没有表现出蒙娜丽莎效应：那就是蒙娜丽莎本人)”可知，第一段提出了文章的主题，即蒙娜丽莎效应在蒙娜丽莎本人身上并不存在。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Horstmann and his assistants asked 24 participants to assess the stare of the 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 between them and the screen.(霍斯特曼和他的助手让24名参与者评估蒙娜丽莎的凝视。他们没有简单地询问每位参与者是否觉得蒙娜丽莎在看着他们，而是将这幅画显示在电脑屏幕上，并让参与者用放在他们和屏幕之间水平放置的两米长的尺子测量凝视的方向)”和第四段“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.(参与者和电脑屏幕之间的距离保持不变，为66厘米，但在整个试验过程中，尺子被移近和移远屏幕。研究人员还改变了蒙娜丽莎画像的大小和可见区域，以确定对她凝视的感知是否受到她面部特定元素的影响)”可知，研究人员是从不同角度对蒙娜丽莎的凝视进行了评估。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“The participants were asked to respond to the painting at various degrees of zoom (焦距)(要求参与者在30%到70%的不同焦距下对画作做出反应)”可知，看到了只包括她的眼睛和鼻子的部分，以及其他显示她整个头部的部分，由此可知，“crops”指的是只包括蒙娜丽莎眼睛和鼻子的画像部分。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段“But according to 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.(但根据德国比勒费尔德大学科学家在《i-Perception》杂志上发表的研究，有一幅画绝对没有表现出蒙娜丽莎效应：那就是蒙娜丽莎本人)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究，研究表明蒙娜丽莎并没有看着观众，即蒙娜丽莎效应在蒙娜丽莎本人身上并不存在，选项B“蒙娜丽莎真的在看你吗”能够概括文章主旨，适合作本文标题。故选B。 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。 Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts. ____16____ What if there is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time? ____17____ They are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving.

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 had recently 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； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 And that’s when a sudden inspiration came to me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My husband was amazed at it, “You made hot chocolate? Can we have any?” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 And that’s when a sudden inspiration came to me. Why not try to make the same for my family? Perhaps I could also make some hot chocolate using alternatives not causing allergic reactions for them to drink. Actions speak louder than words! Firstly I made the mashed potatoes with almond milk as my beloved mum did. Perfect! Then I poured almond milk in a pan and slowly melted chocolate chips into it. The result was better than expected: They dissolved like butter. “Ha!” I yelled. My first victory. Wild with joy, I raised my chocolate spoon and cried out, “Hot chocolate! Who wants hot chocolate?” My husband was amazed at it. “You made hot chocolate? Can we have any?” Yes, dear. It’s safe.” He laughed and started pouring while I began pulling off coats and hats for children. My husband enjoyed every mouthful of the hot chocolate and gave me the thumbs up. That’s when I realized my daughter and son were running merrily in the dining room, stopping to take a bite of what I had cooked. My husband and our little children were drinking hot chocolate together in a toast to the first heavy snow and the approaching Christmas. There it was. I had thought it was completely impossible, but here, I was witnessing our first holiday tradition, everyone participating in his or her own way. And it was beautiful. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为两岁的儿子患有麸质过敏症，对如何庆祝圣诞节感到困惑和迷茫。传统的圣诞节庆祝方式，如制作圣诞饼干、参加聚会等，都因为儿子的食物过敏而变得不再可能。作者感到担忧，担心无法为孩子们提供传统的节日体验。然而，在一次购物回家后，看到女儿对初雪的兴奋和快乐，以及回忆起母亲用牛奶替代品制作土豆泥的成功尝试，作者开始意识到，尽管无法按照常规方式庆祝，但家庭的爱、孩子们的欢笑和创造力可以创造出新的节日氛围。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，我突然灵光一闪。”并结合第二段首句可知，第一段可描写作者想出了用不会引起过敏反应的材料做热巧克力的想法并付诸实践。 ②由第二段首句内容“我丈夫对此感到惊讶。“你做了热巧克力？我们能喝吗？””可知，第二段可描写作者家人在节日里享受热巧克力的经过以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：想出主意——付诸实践——尝试成功——欣喜若狂——家人分享热巧克力——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①叫喊：yell/shout ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③参加：participate in/get involved in ④期待：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①高兴地：merrily/cheerfully ②美好的：beautiful/nice 【点睛】[高分句型1] That’s when I realized my daughter and son were running merrily in the dining room, stopping to take a bite of what I had cooked.（运用了when引导表语从句，省略了that的宾语从句，what引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] Firstly I made the mashed potatoes with almond milk as my beloved mum did（运用了as引导方式状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024～2025学年度上学期期末检测试题 高三英语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡相应位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡 上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 该部分分为第一、第二两节。注意：回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部 分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选出最 佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对 话仅读一遍。 1.When was Tom's birthday?

B 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 drew and 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 I had 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 for children’s book of the year at the Irish Book Awards. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. C Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupider? Data released on December 10th by the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries, suggest this may not be all in your head. Roughly every 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. 8. Which of the following best describes the result of the test? A. Encouraging. B. Debatable. C. Disappointing. D. Predictable. 9. 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. 10. 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.

D 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 according to 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 of the 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.” 12. What’s the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To present the topic of the text. B. To argue over a conclusion. C To popularize some knowledge. D. To provide some guidance. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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? 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。 Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts. ____16____ What if there is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time? ____17____ 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. ____18____ 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. ____19____ A recent study using the GPT-4.0 model achieved 85%accuracy in copying the thoughts and behaviors 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. ____20____ 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.

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 had recently 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； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 And that’s when a sudden inspiration came to me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My husband was amazed at it, “You made hot chocolate?
