I'm an artist, always considering art and beauty as essential to life as daily bread. However, I didn't initially think much about how others perceived art. Over time, I noticed that many, even most people, regarded art as a luxury rather than a necessity.
My rudest awakening on this subject came during a visit to Britain. While exploring the countryside, I stopped at a small store that made its own cheese daily. The salesperson, a young woman with an air of expertise, was astonished by my ignorance of milk products. When I asked if they sold the cheese made that morning, she said with annoyance, “Don't you know nothing about cheese?” Suddenly and without thinking, I said, “No. Do you know anything about art?” Her reply “No. But that's not something you have to do with every day, and cheese is!” made me realize that for most people, art isn't a daily essential.
Despite this common view, I firmly believe art is as crucial as food. It's the expression of our individuality. We all share basic human qualities, feelings, and longings, but it's how we express them uniquely that defines art.
Throughout art history, while the subject matter of paintings may be similar, the true essence lies in the artist's unique style. Museums, which I once saw as the preserve of a few great artists, now seem to spotlight the universal truth of individual uniqueness. They remind us that expressing our originality is the core of art and life.
Art is everywhere in our daily lives. Whether we're cooking, arranging flowers, or conducting business, art is our unique voice, helping us resist the pressure to follow and preserve our individual beauty. As John Muir said, “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread.” Art is indeed a universal, individual, and fundamental truth, an essential part of our daily existence.
4. How did the author originally react to others' views on art?
A. He felt curious. B. He paid little attention.
C. He was concerned. D. He was opposed to them.
5. What did the author learn during his visit to the British store?
A. The beauty in cheese. B. The necessities in life.
C. Common opinion on art. D. The value of art in life.
6. Why does the author think art is crucial?
A. It shapes one's personality. B. It's as common as daily bread.
C. It enriches people's lives. D. It's a way to show off oneself.
7. What does the text mainly convey to us?
A. The significance of art in everyday life.
B. The author's long-term passion for art.
C. The difference between art and daily needs.
D. The history of art and the role of museums.
C
Smell is probably our most underappreciated sense. But a loss of smell has been linked to health problems such as depression and cognitive (认知的)decline. And mounting evidence shows that smelling training may help prevent that decline.
Now, a team of researchers led by Michael Leon, has successfully boosted cognitive performance by exposing people to smells while they sleep. Twenty participants — all older than 60 and generally healthy — received six months of overnight smell enrichment, and all significantly improved their ability to recall lists of words.
The scientists are unsure about how the overnight smell may have produced this result. But Leon notes that the neurons (神经元)involved in our smelling have “direct superhighway access” to brain regions related to memory and emotion. In participants who received the treatment, the study authors observed the physical changes in a brain structure that connects the memory and emotional centers — a pathway that often deteriorates as people age.
Previous successful attempts to boost memory with smell typically relied on complicated interventions with multiple exposures a day. If the nighttime treatment proves successful in large tests, it promises to be a convenient way to achieve similar effects, says Vidya Kamath, a neuropsychologist at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Larger experiments may also help answer some remaining questions. The new study used widely available essential oils, but researchers aren’t sure if just any smell would get the same results. They don’t know how much an essential oil’s qualities affect the cognitive gains. It is also unclear how much novelty plays a role, says Michael Pieniak, a psychology researcher at the University of Wroclaw in Poland who has studied smelling training. Overnight smells could be a strong line for further study. But Pieniak cautions fans of smell training from running to try it. The results are promising, but just a start and should be repeated with more particular participants.
8. What’s Leon’s research intended to check?
A If it can enhance cognitive ability. B. If it can help cure sleeplessness.
C. If it can recover the sense of smell. D. If it can improve physical health.
9. What happens to the participants in the experiment?
A. They suffer from depression. B. They remember smell far better.
C. They become more emotional. D. They have changes in their brains.
10. What does the underlined word “deteriorates” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Remains stable. B. Recovers gradually.
C. Becomes worse. D. Disappears completely.
11. What is Michael Pieniak’s attitude towards the findings?
A. Cautious. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Enthusiastic.
D
I give a lot of advice to my graduate students, most of whom are on the job market. I find that some young people are extremely anxious about the question, “How do I make a good impression in an interview?”
People make judgments based on information they process in a second, below the level of consciousness. That does not mean, however, that anyone is sure to fail by a naturally serious behavior, a shy character, or plain old nervousness. On the contrary, a little understanding of the science of first impressions can help anyone improve the ways they affect the brains of people they meet, and better understand others as well.
Close behind in speed, at 100 milliseconds, comes a consistent estimation of trustworthiness. Once again, this makes sense: you might not kill me outright, but I should still figure out if you’re trying to take advantage of me before I interact with you. (This rapid processing also involves, for example, how your brain decides whether to make direct eye contact with that person staring at you on the subway.) Improving our accuracy of impression of others’ competence takes us longer because we need more time to be confident in our judgments; quite commonly, our rapid initial judgments may be inconsistent with what we later decide.
You might be thinking that judgments made this quickly are open to a lot of errors. The potential cost of incorrectly seeing someone as a threat is low, but the price of mistaking them as not a threat could be enormous. So, it’s no surprise that first impressions tend to be inaccurate. Researchers in 2010 asked participants in an experiment to view photos of strangers, and based on initial impressions, to judge aspects of their personality. The researchers found that their subjects claimed confidence in their judgments 70 to 80 percent of the time, but their actual accuracy was either modest or statistically nonexistent.
People may arrive at incorrect judgments about you for many different reasons. For example, if you’re nervous when first meeting, your facial expression and behavior might not fairly represent your true character, purpose, and competence.
12. It can be inferred that the initial estimation of trustworthiness is ______ .
A. usually from active interaction B. faster than other information
C. after judgements about competence D. almost as fast as other judgements
13. Why are first impressions often inaccurate?
A. People rely too much on statistical data.
B. Emotion plays a vital role in impression.
C. People lack patience to make judgments.
D. The time to make judgements is too short.
14. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By analyzing causes and effects. B. By giving opinions and evidence.
C. By comparing different examples. D. By offering acceptable solutions.
15. What might the author continue talking about?
A. How to make you trustworthy. B. How to leave a good impression.
C. How to control facial expressions. D. How to remove an observer’s alarm.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your identity is who or what you are and what you do. Just as the things you do, such as following popular fashion, create your identity, the things you read do too. Books, magazines or even websites you frequently read or visit influence the way you think and what you believe in. ___16___ For example, if you had read that littering kills the earth and contributes to pollution and that has convinced you, you will believe that littering is bad. Therefore, you will not litter. This is the message you will spread to the people around you. This will in turn cause the world around you to see you as someone who loves the earth and you will not litter no matter where you go. ___17___
Research has shown that reading also affects the way you interacts with people around you. Reading fiction makes you more empathetic (共情) to the lives around you. This is because reading stories leads you to imagine situations, and this makes you understand others better. ___18___ You become less self-centred and more caring. People start seeing you as someone who is merciful, and that becomes part of your identity.
___19___ What is more important, though, is that you engage in intentional reading, paying close attention to what you feed your mind. Read autobiographies or biographies of people who inspire you if you want to be more like them. ___20___ If you want to be a songwriter, read more poetry! So, go on. Pick up a book today and read. A new you awaits you.
A. You’d better select a book that is suitable for you.
B. This becomes part of your identity — an earth-lover.
C. The things you believe in, then, determine the things you do.
D. If you want to be a productive writer, read more fiction books.
E. This is because reading plays an important role in shaping your identity.
F. Therefore, it enables you to be more tolerant and accepting of differences.
G. It is important to read as it affects you to a large extent, creating your identity.

Just as the queen was about to arrive in the play, real squirrels (松鼠) ___31___. Ollie improvised (即兴创作) the ending, saying the queen’s royal helpers joined the party. The audience ___32___, and we had an indoor picnic.
From this experience, I learned some performance tips: keep things simple; ___33___ bad weather; don’t struggle for ___34___ as long as you’re having fun, and believe that everything is better with a touch of ___35___ elements like the squirrels that day.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My wife Lila a and I were in the middle of a heated discussion. Our 19-year-old son Andy who was blind, wanted to attend a college far across the country. Lila a was extremely worried.“But how will he manage on his own? He's blind!” she exclaimed. I understood her concerns, but I believed Andy was clever, ambitious, and confident. I said, “He's nineteen. He wants to try things independently. We've done all we can for him. It's time to let him go.”
Then, I brought up the story of Gertie. In the third year of our marriage, before our children were born, a pair of geese arrived at the small lake on our farm with a flock(群)of Canada geese in late April. After the flock left, these two geese stayed. We were excited when they started nesting in the southeastern corner of the lake.
However, it was about three weeks later that disaster struck. One evening, as I was taking a rest on the platform, weary from a long day on the farm, and Lila a was working in the garden beside the house, we heard loud honks and wing-beating sounds from the lake. By the time I caught up with Lila at the nest, the male goose was dead, its neck broken. Lila found the female goose, badly injured with a broken wing, a bleeding leg, and a missing eye. I suggested putting it down, “It'll never make it. Only one eye. A broken wing. An injured leg. And if it does live, it will die of sorrow. They say that geese mate for life.”
But Lila was determined to save it. And she proved me wrong. She drove the goose to the vet (兽医) that night.
Lila a fixed a bed for her by the lake and for several days, Gertie, as she named her, barely moved. It was many days before she picked up eating.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gertie survived but was severely disabled.

The next spring, to our surprise, Gertie came back.

I'm an artist, always considering art and beauty as essential to life as daily bread. However, I didn't initially think much about how others perceived art. Over time, I noticed that many, even most people, regarded art as a luxury rather than a necessity.
My rudest awakening on this subject came during a visit to Britain. While exploring the countryside, I stopped at a small store that made its own cheese daily. The salesperson, a young woman with an air of expertise, was astonished by my ignorance of milk products. When I asked if they sold the cheese made that morning, she said with annoyance, “Don't you know nothing about cheese?” Suddenly and without thinking, I said, “No. Do you know anything about art?” Her reply “No. But that's not something you have to do with every day, and cheese is!” made me realize that for most people, art isn't a daily essential.
Despite this common view, I firmly believe art is as crucial as food. It's the expression of our individuality. We all share basic human qualities, feelings, and longings, but it's how we express them uniquely that defines art.
Throughout art history, while the subject matter of paintings may be similar, the true essence lies in the artist's unique style. Museums, which I once saw as the preserve of a few great artists, now seem to spotlight the universal truth of individual uniqueness. They remind us that expressing our originality is the core of art and life.
Art is everywhere in our daily lives. Whether we're cooking, arranging flowers, or conducting business, art is our unique voice, helping us resist the pressure to follow and preserve our individual beauty. As John Muir said, “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread.” Art is indeed a universal, individual, and fundamental truth, an essential part of our daily existence.
4. How did the author originally react to others' views on art?
A. He felt curious. B. He paid little attention.
C. He was concerned. D. He was opposed to them.
5. What did the author learn during his visit to the British store?
A. The beauty in cheese. B. The necessities in life.
C. Common opinion on art. D. The value of art in life.
6. Why does the author think art is crucial?
A. It shapes one's personality. B. It's as common as daily bread.
C. It enriches people's lives. D. It's a way to show off oneself.
7. What does the text mainly convey to us?
A. The significance of art in everyday life.
B. The author's long-term passion for art.
C. The difference between art and daily needs.
D. The history of art and the role of museums.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. A

Smell is probably our most underappreciated sense. But a loss of smell has been linked to health problems such as depression and cognitive (认知的)decline. And mounting evidence shows that smelling training may help prevent that decline.
Now, a team of researchers led by Michael Leon, has successfully boosted cognitive performance by exposing people to smells while they sleep. Twenty participants — all older than 60 and generally healthy — received six months of overnight smell enrichment, and all significantly improved their ability to recall lists of words.
The scientists are unsure about how the overnight smell may have produced this result. But Leon notes that the neurons (神经元)involved in our smelling have “direct superhighway access” to brain regions related to memory and emotion. In participants who received the treatment the study authors observed the physical changes in a brain structure that connects the memory and emotional centers — a pathway that often deteriorates as people age.
Previous successful attempts to boost memory with smell typically relied on complicated interventions with multiple exposures a day. If the nighttime treatment proves successful in large tests, it promises to be a convenient way to achieve similar effects, says Vidya Kamath, a neuropsychologist at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Larger experiments may also help answer some remaining questions. The new study used widely available essential oils, but researchers aren’t sure if just any smell would get the same results. They don’t know how much an essential oil’s qualities affect the cognitive gains. It is also unclear how much novelty plays a role, says Michael Pieniak, a psychology researcher at the University of Wroclaw in Poland who has studied smelling training. Overnight smells could be a strong line for further study. But Pieniak cautions fans of smell training from running to try it. The results are promising, but just a start and should be repeated with more particular participants.
8. What’s Leon’s research intended to check?
A. If it can enhance cognitive ability. B. If it can help cure sleeplessness.
C. If it can recover the sense of smell. D. If it can improve physical health.
9. What happens to the participants in the experiment?
A. They suffer from depression. B. They remember smell far better.
C. They become more emotional. D. They have changes in their brains.
10. What does the underlined word “deteriorates” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Remains stable. B. Recovers gradually.
C. Becomes worse. D. Disappears completely.
11. What is Michael Pieniak’s attitude towards the findings?
A. Cautious. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Enthusiastic.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A

I give a lot of advice to my graduate students, most of whom are on the job market. I find that some young people are extremely anxious about the question, “How do I make a good impression in an interview?”
People make judgments based on information they process in a second, below the level of consciousness. That does not mean, however, that anyone is sure to fail by a naturally serious behavior, a shy character, or plain old nervousness. On the contrary, a little understanding of the science of first impressions can help anyone improve the ways they affect the brains of people they meet, and better understand others as well.
Close behind in speed, at 100 milliseconds, comes a consistent estimation of trustworthiness. Once again, this makes sense: you might not kill me outright, but I should still figure out if you’re trying to take advantage of me before I interact with you. (This rapid processing also involves, for example, how your brain decides whether to make direct eye contact with that person staring at you on the subway.) Improving our accuracy of impression of others’ competence takes us longer because we need more time to be confident in our judgments; quite commonly, our rapid initial judgments may be inconsistent with what we later decide.
You might be thinking that judgments made this quickly are open to a lot of errors. The potential cost of incorrectly seeing someone as a threat is low, but the price of mistaking them as not a threat could be enormous. So, it’s no surprise that first impressions tend to be inaccurate. Researchers in 2010 asked participants in an experiment to view photos of strangers, and based on initial impressions, to judge aspects of their personality. The researchers found that their subjects claimed confidence in their judgments 70 to 80 percent of the time, but their actual accuracy was either modest or statistically nonexistent.
People may arrive at incorrect judgments about you for many different reasons. For example, if you’re nervous when first meeting, your facial expression and behavior might not fairly represent your true character, purpose, and competence.
12. It can be inferred that the initial estimation of trustworthiness is ______ .
A. usually from active interaction B. faster than other information
C. after judgements about competence D. almost as fast as other judgements
13. Why are first impressions often inaccurate?
A. People rely too much on statistical data.
B. Emotion plays a vital role in impression.
C. People lack patience to make judgments.
D. The time to make judgements is too short.
14. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By analyzing causes and effects. B. By giving opinions and evidence.
C. By comparing different examples. D. By offering acceptable solutions.
15. What might the author continue talking about?
A. How to make you trustworthy. B. How to leave a good impression.
C. How to control facial expressions. D. How to remove an observer’s alarm.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了第一印象的形成过程及其准确性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Close behind in speed, at 100 milliseconds, comes a consistent estimation of trustworthiness.(紧随其后的是对可信度的一致估计,仅需100毫秒)以及根据 “quite commonly, our rapid initial judgments may be inconsistent with what we later decide.(很常见的是,我们最初的快速判断可能与我们后来的决定不一致)”可知,对可信度的初步估计几乎与其他判断一样快。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“You might be thinking that judgments made this quickly are open to a lot of errors. The potential cost of incorrectly seeing someone as a threat is low, but the price of mistaking them as not a threat could be enormous.(你可能会想,这么快做出的判断很容易出现很多错误。错误地将某人视为威胁的潜在成本很低,但错误地将其视为威胁的代价可能是巨大的)”可知,第一印象不准确的原因是判断时间太短。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段 “On the contrary, a little understanding of the science of first impressions can help anyone improve the ways they affect the brains of people they meet, and better understand others as well.(相反,对第一印象的科学有一点了解可以帮助任何人改善他们影响他们遇到的人的大脑的方式,也可以更好地了解别人)”,以及随后通过研究和实验数据支持这一观点。可知,短文是通过提供观点和证据展开的。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“People may arrive at incorrect judgments about you for many different reasons. For example, if you' re nervous when first meeting, your facial expression and behavior might not fairly represent your true character, purpose, and competence.(人们可能会因为许多不同的原因对你做出错误的判断。例如,如果你在初次见面时紧张,你的面部表情和行为可能无法公平地代表你的真实性格、目的和能力)”可知,作者接下来可能会讨论如何给人留下好印象。故选B。

Your identity is who or what you are and what you do. Just as the things you do, such as following popular fashion, create your identity, the things you read do too. Books, magazines or even websites you frequently read or visit influence the way you think and what you believe in. ___16___ For example, if you had read that littering kills the earth and contributes to pollution and that has convinced you, you will believe that littering is bad.

This is because reading stories leads you to imagine situations, and this makes you understand others better. ___18___ You become less self-centred and more caring. People start seeing you as someone who is merciful, and that becomes part of your identity.
___19___ What is more important, though, is that you engage in intentional reading, paying close attention to what you feed your mind. Read autobiographies or biographies of people who inspire you if you want to be more like them. ___20___ If you want to be a songwriter, read more poetry! So, go on. Pick up a book today and read. A new you awaits you.
A. You’d better select a book that is suitable for you.
B. This becomes part of your identity — an earth-lover.
C. The things you believe in, then, determine the things you do.
D. If you want to be a productive writer, read more fiction books.

考查定冠词。句意:前者拥有6710亿个参数,可以处理诸如编码、翻译和文章/邮件生成等任务。此处为固定搭配the former意为“前者”,特指前一个提到的模型,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填The。
【38题详解】
考查动名词。句意:前者拥有6710亿个参数,可以处理诸如编码、翻译和文章/邮件生成等任务。此处作为介词短语such as后的并列成分之一,使用动名词形式,表示“编码”符合语境。故填coding。
【39题详解】
考查主语从句引导词。句意:使DeepSeek脱颖而出的是它使用了如Nvidia H800芯片这样的老一代硬件。此处为连接词引导主语从句,在从句中作主语,指的是事物,所以此处使用连接代词what,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填What。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这使得训练成本大幅降低。此处为句子的谓语动词,结合句意,描述一个客观事实或结果,使用一般现在时,且主语This为第三人称单数。故填results。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然训练像OpenAI的GPT-4这样的模型可能花费大约1亿美元,但DeepSeek只需600万美元就能实现类似的性能。此处为名词作宾语,perform的名词为performance表示“性能”,且空前有不定冠词a,所以此处使用名词单数形式。故填performance。
【42题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:此外,DeepSeek的模型可在一个更低的价格点上获得。此处为形容词作定语,空前有副词much修饰,所以此处使用形容词的比较级,与其它产品相比,价格更低,low的比较级为lower。故填lower。
【43题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:其订阅费用仅为每月0.5美元,相比之下,OpenAI的ChatGPT每月收费20美元。此处为非谓语动词作状语,compare与逻辑主语Its subscription cost之间为被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填compared。
【44题详解】
考查不定式。句意:这种可负担性让更多人,特别是那些预算有限地区的用户能够访问先进的AI服务。根据“allow sb. to do sth.”意为“让某人能做某事”可知,此处应使用动词不定式形式作宾补。故填to access。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:尽管像任何新技术一样,DeepSeek也面临一些挑战,但它无疑是AI领域的一颗新星,其未来发展值得关注。结合句意,此处表示“在某个领域内”,所以此处使用介词in。故填in。

Last weekend, I joined a cycling activity organized by our school’s cycling club. We rode along a beautiful countryside route, enjoying the fresh air and scenic views. The trip lasted for about three hours, and we took short breaks to rest and chat with each other. It was a great way to relax and connect with nature.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My wife Lila a and I were in the middle of a heated discussion. Our 19-year-old son Andy, who was blind, wanted to attend a college far across the country. Lila a was extremely worried.“But how will he manage on his own? He's blind!” she exclaimed. I understood her concerns, but I believed Andy was clever, ambitious, and confident. I said, “He's nineteen. He wants to try things independently. We've done all we can for him. It's time to let him go.”
Then, I brought up the story of Gertie. In the third year of our marriage, before our children were born, a pair of geese arrived at the small lake on our farm with a flock(群)of Canada geese in late April. After the flock left, these two geese stayed. We were excited when they started nesting in the southeastern corner of the lake.
However, it was about three weeks later that disaster struck. One evening, as I was taking a rest on the platform, weary from a long day on the farm, and Lila a was working in the garden beside the house, we heard loud honks and wing-beating sounds from the lake. By the time I caught up with Lila at the nest, the male goose was dead, its neck broken. Lila found the female goose, badly injured with a broken wing, a bleeding leg, and a missing eye. I suggested putting it down, “It'll never make it. Only one eye. A broken wing. An injured leg. And if it does live, it will die of sorrow. They say that geese mate for life.”
But Lila was determined to save it. And she proved me wrong. She drove the goose to the vet (兽医) that night.
Lila a fixed a bed for her by the lake and for several days, Gertie, as she named her, barely moved. It was many days before she picked up eating.

Gertie survived but was severely disabled.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next spring, to our surprise, Gertie came back.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Gertie survived but was severely disabled. Despite her injuries, she gradually regained her strength with Lila’s constant care. Over time, Gertie learned to adapt to her new reality, finding ways to navigate the lake with only one eye and a damaged wing. Lila’s dedication to Gertie’s recovery taught us both a valuable lesson about resilience and the power of hope. Gertie’s determination to live despite her disabilities mirrored the strength we saw in our son Andy, who was also determined to overcome the challenges of his blindness.
The next spring, to our surprise, Gertie came back. She returned to the lake, not as the same bird she once was, but as a symbol of perseverance. Her return was a reminder that even in the face of adversity, life finds a way to continue. Lila and I watched Gertie from the platform, and in that moment, we realized that our son Andy, like Gertie, had the strength to thrive on his own. We decided to support his decision to attend college, trusting in his ability to navigate the world independently.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了作者和妻子Lila关于儿子Andy是否应该独立去上大学的讨论,并通过回忆他们曾经救助的一只受伤的鹅Gertie的故事,来探讨生命中的坚韧与希望。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Gertie活了下来,但严重残疾。”可知,第一段可描写Gertie的恢复过程,展现了生命的坚韧,并与Andy的情况形成类比。
②由第二段首句内容“第二年春天,令我们吃惊的是,Gertie又回来了。”可知,第二段可描写Gertie的回归,进一步强化了主题,并促使作者和妻子最终支持Andy的决定。
2.续写线索:Gertie在Lila的照顾下逐渐恢复,适应了新的生活——Gertie在第二年春天回到湖边,象征着生命的延续与希望——通过Gertie的故事,作者和妻子最终决定支持Andy独立去上大学
