Looking for a comfortable place to stay These are Britain’s best country inns (旅馆) for you to choose from.
Ship Inn, Fife
The picturesque stretch of coastline along the East Neuk of Fife is home to this friendly waterside inn, whose cheerful bar and six wooden bedrooms have a fresh coast feel. By day you can explore the attractive fishing villages that line the coast ; and by night sink into an armchair in the Ship Inn’s bar.
The Star, Yorksbire
For a pleasant winter break, the only thing better than a country inn is a thatched (茅草屋顶的) country inn and The Star is a rare and picture-perfect example. The guests can stay in comfortable rooms designed in country style, with natural stone and wood. The food in the restaurant is a selection of what is typically served in local pubs. You could even join in a wrestling match and the pub’s owner is captain of the local wrestling club.
Acorn Inn, Dorset
Acorn in Dorset, this 16th-century coaching inn, is featured in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles under the name “The Sow and Acorn” and the author would find the inn little changed today, with its wooden floors and roaring fires. There’s a wood-beamed (木梁) bar with an excellent restaurant, celebrated for its locally sourced produce.
Lord Crewe Arms, County Durham
If you love the idea of staying at an inn but still want a touch of luxury, book a room at the Lord Crewe Arms. Set in the honey-stone village of Blanchland in the beautiful landscape of the North Pennine hills, the inn has a history dating back to 1165. Stone floors and wood beams give it plenty of warmth and character, the rooms have luxurious beds to sink into, and there’s a highly regarded restaurant, too.

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.
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.
C
A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.
The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds.
Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads.
It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth.
The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular pared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.
28. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean
A. Running out of. B. Keeping away from.
C. Putting up with. D. Taking advantage of.
29. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced
A. To control weeds in large gardens. B. To bring in foreign species of plants.
C. To conserve soil and water resources. D. To develop low-maintenance parkland.
30. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens
A. Traditional. B. Odd-looking. C. Tasteful. D. Well-protected.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. The future of gardening is WILD B. Nature treats all lives as EQUALS
C. Matrix gardens need more CARE D. Old garden plots work WONDERS
D
Across the flat plateau of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, shades of gray-brown soil are dotted with areas of dark rock — and a clearly defined circle of stones. Unmistakably constructed by humans, this structure, called “standing stone circles” by archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood.
In 2019, archaeologists from the University of Western Australia began excavating (发掘) these standing stone circles. Their initial idea was that these were structures built by Neolithic nomads (新石器时代的游牧民) for some long-forgotten religious practices. However, excavating at multiple sites, they found what turned out to be archaeological pay dirt — domestic rubbish. The remains of discarded animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes.
Standing stone circles seem to have sprung up around 5,800 to 5,500 B.C. This coincided with a warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees, good conditions for raising cattle and goats. But these were also good conditions for building permanent structures. More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile. This, and the plateau’s abundance of stones, may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build.
Excavations of these settlements are revealing something of this people’s way of life. They kept cattle and goats for meat, but continued to hunt and gather to expand their diet with hare, fruits and nuts. The many grinding (磨碎) stones found on the sites suggest inhabitants were regularly grinding grains, but these were likely to be gathered rather than farmed. The plateau sites have also revealed tools made with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea — these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange.
The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here was a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AIUla is emerging.
32. What did the 2019 excavation finally identify the “standing stone circles” as
A. Religious sites. B. Rubbish stations.
C. Domestic buildings. D. Natural wonders.
33. What was a contributing factor in the building of the standing stone circles
A. The worsening climate.
B. The richness of plants.
C. The need to store goods.
D. The desire to raise more animals.
34. What is most likely TRUE about Neolithic people’s way of life in AlUla
A. They had interactions with other groups.
B. They planted crops and kept cattle and goats.
C. They relied entirely on hunting and gathering for food.
D. They made tools and jewelry purely from local materials.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To provide some new insights.
B. To promote a historical site.
C. To introduce an ancient population.
D. To argue for some long-held beliefs.

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. 38 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. 39 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 and approving pricing decisions. 40
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.

A standout tradition in Xiamen is chazhuozi, which, literally meaning “tea table”, 56 (refer) to a gathering centered around tea drinking.

Early 60 (riser), especially seniors, bring their own tea leaves and snacks to tea tables to start the day. Seniors’tea gatherings usually wind down around 9 a.m., making room for others 61 (take) their place. This is a moment of life in Xiamen — 62 (leisure) and unhurried.
Storytelling is another key element of chazhuozi. Locals share old stories and historical tales around tea tables, 63 adds a layer of depth and enjoyment to the tea gathering.
Many young people, inspired by this traditional tea culture, have accepted the practice of tea drinking 64 a way to reconnect with their roots. At the same time, younger generations are innovating on the classic chazhuozi. This 65 (combine) of tradition and innovation helps ensure that tea culture remains relevant in today’s fast-paced world.

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。
The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why ” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake Was he still upset with me “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer puters are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent (有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up.” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.

Dear Brian,
Regarding the upcoming field trip for our elective course, I personally, lean towards the Nature Park for several reasons.
Firstly, spending time in nature provides a refreshing break from our daily urban routines. It’s an opportunity to breathe fresh air and appreciate the beauty of the outdoors - a nice way of unwinding. Additionally, visiting the Nature Park aligns with the objectives of our course, which focuses on ecology and environmental conservation. Observing wildlife and exploring their habitats can deepen our understanding of environmental concepts discussed in class. Furthermore, outdoor activities, like walking trails or even a picnic, will promote further exchanges among classmates.
I'm looking forward to such an enriching experience that combines education with recreation. Thank you for considering my suggestion.(122w)
Best regards,

I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts ” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词)
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词)

【33题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“This coincided with a warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees, good conditions for raising cattle and goats. But these were also good conditions for building permanent structures. More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile. This, and the plateau’s abundance of stones, may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build. (这与该地区气候变暖、降雨更加规律以及草木茂盛的景观相吻合，为饲养牛和山羊提供了良好的条件。但这些条件同样适合建造永久性建筑。植被更加茂盛意味着游牧民不需要频繁地将牲畜转移到新的草地上，这使得建造房屋变得更加值得。这一点，再加上高原上丰富的石材，可能促使游牧民在此定居并建造房屋。)”可知，当地气候变暖，植被丰富，这可能是促使游牧民族建造立石圈的一个因素。故选B。

(这一结构无疑是人类建造的，考古学家称之为“立石圈”，大约7500年前由我们几乎一无所知的人们建造，而建造的目的我们长期以来都误解了。)”和最后一段“The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here was a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AIUla is emerging. (这一发现颠覆了我们关于新石器时代AlUla的很多假设。这里的人们比我们历史上所认为的更加定居和文明。他们的故事才刚刚开始被揭示，但早期AlUla的一幅截然不同的画面已经浮现出来。)”可知，本文介绍了沙特一处新石器时代的建筑，该建筑的发掘推翻了考古学家之前对于沙特新石器时代游牧民的设想，为该地区游牧民的生活方式提供了新的认识，因此文章旨在提供一些新的见解。故选A。

【60题详解】

【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这是厦门生活的一个瞬间——悠闲，从容不迫。根据句意和空后的“and unhurried”，此处需要填入一个与unhurried并列的形容词；leisure是名词，其形容词形式是leisured或leisurely，意为“从容的、悠闲的”。故填leisured或leisurely。

Dear Brian,
Regarding the upcoming field trip for our elective course, I personally, lean towards the Nature Park for several reasons.
Firstly, spending time in nature provides a refreshing break from our daily urban routines. It’s an opportunity to breathe fresh air and appreciate the beauty of the outdoors - a nice way of unwinding. Additionally, visiting the Nature Park aligns with the objectives of our course, which focuses on ecology and environmental conservation. Observing wildlife and exploring their habitats can deepen our understanding of environmental concepts discussed in class. Furthermore, outdoor activities, like walking trails or even a picnic, will promote further exchanges among classmates.
I'm looking forward to such an enriching experience that combines education with recreation. Thank you for considering my suggestion.(122w)

I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts ” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词)
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词)
