From lively beer festivals to huge community cook-offs, Europe knows how to celebrate its food and drink. And during the harvest season, which generally runs from mid-September to the end of October, autumn’s harvest is the star of the show, with a series of festivals that mix seasonal ingredients and folk entertainment. Here are our top picks.
Weimar Onion Market, Germany
Held from the second weekend to the end of October, the Onion Market in Weimar is this city’s oldest and largest folk fair, dating back to 1653 and attracting some 300,000 visitors every year. With over 500 stands (摊位) decorated with circles of onions and dried flowers, people can hang around and pick up slices of onion pie.
Impruneta Grape Festival, Italy
The small town of Impruneta celebrates the harvest with an annual festival, held for about a month around the September vendemmia (grape harvest). It has dance workshops and theatre concerts, but the highlight is the impressive parade (游行) that travels through the town’s central square for one day in late September.
Lovran Marunada Festival, Croatia
The Maruni chestnuts have a larger size and a unique, sweet flavour. Try them at the local Marunada Festival, which marks the start of the chestnut harvest. Over the course of a week in October, visitors can dance to the folk music with the locals while tasting chestnut-flavoured ice cream, cake and wine.
Beuvron-en-Auge Cider Festival, France
Beuvron-en-Auge grows about 60% of the nation’s bittersweet apples.

B [2025·辽宁省重点协作体高一期末]
Satow, now 56, left her home in Virginia two decades ago to start a new life in southern France. Born into a family of farmers with a passion for the kitchen, she had a background in catering (餐饮服务) and her love of food fueled her ambition of one day moving to the French region, Provence.
Satow worked for several high-quality dining restaurants in the US, which inspired her passion for fine food, wine and cooking. She attended a cooking school in Colorado, where she completed a course in French techniques and joined a wine club.
As it happened, her British husband’s job took the couple across the Atlantic and in 2005, they settled near Provence, a picturesque town. Later Satow met her French partner, Christophe Daumas, with whose support and encouragement, she started looking for a specialized space where she could offer cooking classes.
La Cuisine Provencale, her cooking school, finally opened in 2021. She now has customers from all over the world, mostly travellers coming to Provence for the first time, but also locals. In winter when there are fewer tourists, she offers classes for French people such as creating a holiday meal. The school offers collective group classes in English and French with a maximum of 50 participants, and organizes private dinners.
At the beginning, Satow admits, she was quite concerned as an outsider and could not imagine competing with French chefs. Since then, mainly on her own, she has read hundreds of recipes, learned lots of tips, discovered French regional dishes and tasted wine at domaines (葡萄园).
She likes to stick to teaching real local cuisine with a few changes. “It is important to show respect for the local Provencal cuisine which has developed over hundreds of years and is still made by local people in their homes. I’ve taken those recipes and improved them with the novel cuisine and chef techniques I learned in the US, and I’ve added my own touches,” she says.
(　)24.What do you know about Satow before her coming to Provence
A.She had no working experience in catering.
B.Her ambition was to run her own restaurant.
C.She completed her course in cooking in the US.
D.Her French partner gave her much encouragement.
(　)25.What can we learn about La Cuisine Provencale
A.Both tourists and natives can attend the school.
B.Most of the learners come from overseas.
C.There are courses on cuisine around the earth.
D.It offers classes for locals free of charge.
(　)26.Which words can best describe Satow
A.Generous and influential.
B.Outgoing and friendly.
C.Hard-working and determined.
D.Caring and confident.
(　)27.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Satow’s teaching strategies.
B.Satow’s attitude to cuisine.
C.Satow’s passion for cooking.
D.Satow’s life changes.
C [2025·山东济宁高一期末]
The human brain is sensitive to shortage. The lack of something we consider important can powerfully shape our thinking and behaviour.
Take money for example: if you lack money, you are likely to make short-sighted decisions that make you better now but worse later. One possible explanation for this behaviour is that shortage causes pressure to our mind, which makes it harder for us to focus and plan.
In recent work, however, we found that people react to water shortage very differently from they do to other shortages. There are two geographically close cities in Iran—Shiraz and Yazd—that have similar economies and the same language but sharply different amounts of water. Shiraz receives enough rainfall to produce its world-famous wine. Nearby Yazd is very dry. We gave psychological tests to 331 people in Shiraz and Yazd to measure how much they value the future. Sure enough, people in Yazd thought that planning for the future was more important than those in Shiraz did, and people in Shiraz liked the idea of living in the moment more than those in Yazd did.
In fact, humans may have evolved (进化) to be sensitive to water access because it’s so important to us. Humans managed without money for many thousands of years. Our species can survive without food for weeks but without water for just days. It has been proven that there exists an evolutionary connection related to water within our sense of smell. Humans are better at feeling the smell of fresh rainfall than sharks are at feeling blood. The fact that water is important for human life makes it more reasonable that evolution would lead to our having psychological reactions specific to the threat of water shortage.
That sensitivity might be crucial (至关重要的) going forward. Climate change is making droughts more common. Our work suggests that as many places dry up, global warming could reshape how people think, pushing entire communities towards more careful, future-focused behaviour. That may offer a slim hope amid the threat of climate change.
(　)28.What can money shortage bring about according to Paragraph 2
A.Social failure. B.Emotional needs.
C.Mental stress. D.Positive attitudes.
(　)29.How are people in Yazd different from those in Shiraz
A.They are economically stronger.
B.They are good at communicating.
C.They enjoy geographical advantages.
D.They think more about the long term.
(　)30.What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 4
A.Water has a meaningful place in our thinking.
B.The world is under the threat of water shortage.
C.Human evolution depends on the environment.
D.Humans enjoy the most powerful sense of smell.
(　)31.What is implied in the last paragraph
A.Fighting climate change remains much to be done.
B.Water shortage pushes us to prepare for climate change.
C.Sensitivity plays a decisive role in solving water shortage.
D.The study of water shortage is faced with great challenges.

If all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players, where does that leave non-human figures, like artificial intelligence chatbots As it turns out, AI can hold its own against humans when it comes to writing poetry. AI chatbots can imitate famous poets like William Shakespeare well enough to fool many human readers, according to a new paper published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. In addition, many study participants actually preferred the chatbot’s poetry over the works of well-known writers.
In an experiment, researchers asked a group of participants to read and rate poems on 14 qualities, ranging from rhythm (韵律) to originality. The participants were given a mix of poems written by humans and by AI, and the scientists didn’t share anything about the poems’ authorship. The team uncovered a surprise: the participants who didn’t know anything about the poems’ origins gave higher ratings, on average, to those written by the chatbot.
Why do readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry It’s not entirely clear, but part of the guess is that they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. Understanding poems written by humans requires deep, critical thinking—and that’s a big part of poetry’s appeal. But modern readers don’t seem to want to do this labour, preferring texts that give them “instant answers”.
The study’s findings seem to confirm (证实) some fears about AI, which is that they’ll one day replace human artists and put them out of work. But Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky tells the Washington Post. “If these people in the study read AI poems and liked that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They had a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets—even robot poets.”
(　)32.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A.AI is a player on the world stage.
B.AI performs well in poetry writing.
C.AI is so playful that it fools the readers.
D.AI works well together with all humans.
(　)33.What were participants asked to do with the given poems in the experiment
A.Identify their authors.
B.Discuss their meanings.
C.Grade them from different aspects.
D.Compare them with their own poems.
(　)34.What is a feature of AI-generated poems according to Paragraph 3
A.They promote critical thinking.
B.They widen readers’ views.
C.They require immediate feedback.
D.They are easy to understand.
(　)35.What’s Lasky’s attitude towards AI-generated poems
A.Doubtful. B.Welcoming.
C.Passionate. D.Indifferent.

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。
Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of. 36.　　　　 Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life.
However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living. 37.　　　　 They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after visiting social media sites. They found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.
38.　　　　 When using social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling sad and hopeless. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. 39.　　　　 The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying (霸凌)” where people are bullied online when others make negative comments about them.
The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. 40.　　　　 We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realize that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.
A.There are a number of reasons for this.
B.Social media requires our close attention.
C.However, people today still miss the life of that time.
D.It is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives.
E.Researchers have found social media may have some negative effects.
F.Even for those people who post positive things, they too can feel stressed.
G.However, for people today it is normal to share pictures of their lives online.

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。
One day in 2009, Jane and her husband planned to drive from Boise to Jane’s hometown of Salt Lake City to visit her parents. But soon after they started their journey, their car broke down halfway. They didn’t have enough money to fix it. What’s worse, at the repair shop, they were told that it would take several days to repair it because there were no spare parts available. Just as they were wondering what to do, a woman named Alisa, who was at the repair shop, overheard their situation. She decided to help them.
“She offered to take us to Salt Lake City. The only thing she needed to do was go home to take care of her sick brother before leaving. She had to give her brother medicine at night,” Jane recalled, looking grateful.
Later that day, Alisa took the couple to her home. She bought them dinner and let them spend the night at her house. Jane and her husband thanked her for what she had done for them. They also watched Alisa take care of her brother. It was a loving and touching scene. Their admiration for Alisa grew. She told them that she felt like she did just the right thing that anyone would do in that situation.
The next day, early in the morning, Alisa drove them to Salt Lake City. But before they could fully thank her, she said goodbye and drove away. It was a little sad and regretful. After that, Jane and Alisa lost touch. But nearly 15 years later, Jane still thought about everything Alisa had done for them. She wanted to contact Alisa and express how much Alisa’s help had made a difference in her life. However, she couldn’t remember Alisa’s full name and the chance to find her seemed very small.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, Jane had an idea.


Paragraph 2:
To Jane’s surprise, Alisa saw the story online and picked up her phone.

M: OK, let me have a look.
W: I find it difficult to write letters in German. I started to write the letter yesterday afternoon, but didn’t finish it until this morning. I’m not sure if it’s OK.

W:I’m here to announce that we will operate a new flight from London Heathrow to the Maldives. We couldn’t be more excited to add this new route to our airline route map. I think many of you know our slogan “See the World Differently”, so the Maldives will surely leave you with unforgettable memories when you take a trip there. Our history began in 1984, when Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Atlantic, couldn’t leave Puerto Rico because his flight was cancelled, and a great idea of establishing a new company appeared in his mind. Shortly afterward, we were able to open 600-plus flights. This is the result we couldn’t have imagined. We fly to and from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Our company is dedicated to the comfort of the passengers. We currently have three different types of cabins: upper class, premium and economy. Recently I received some inside information that the company is going to introduce a new type of cabin: business economy, which will be sold at more affordable prices, compared to the former three. However, its seating capacity is only half of them, so you will have to get the tickets as quickly as you can.

26. C　推理判断题。根据第五段“At the beginning, Satow admits, she was quite concerned as an outsider and could not imagine competing with French chefs.

【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人脑对短缺很敏感,缺少我们认为重要的东西会极大地影响我们的思想和行为,并对此进行了举例说明。
28.C　细节理解题。根据第二段“Take money for example: if you lack money, you are likely to make short-sighted decisions that make you better now but worse later. One possible explanation for this behaviour is that shortage causes pressure to our mind, which makes it harder for us to focus and plan.”(以钱为例:如果你缺钱,你可能会做出没有远见的决定,让你现在变得更好,但以后会变得更糟。对这种行为的一种可能的解释是,短缺给我们的大脑带来了压力,使我们更难集中注意力和计划。)可知,资金短缺会导致精神压力。故选C。
29.D　细节理解题。根据第三段“Sure enough, people in Yazd thought that planning for the future was more important than those in Shiraz did, and people in Shiraz liked the idea of living in the moment more than those in Yazd did.”(果不其然,与设拉子人相比,亚兹德人认为规划未来更重要,设拉子人也比亚兹德人更喜欢活在当下。)可知,亚兹德人和设拉子人的不同在于亚兹德人考虑得更长远。故选D。
30.A　推理判断题。根据第四段“In fact, humans may have evolved (进化) to be sensitive to water access because it’s so important to us. Humans managed without money for many thousands of years. Our species can bear without food for weeks but without water for just days. It has been proven that there exists an evolutionary connection related to water within our sense of smell. Humans are better at feeling the smell of fresh rainfall than sharks are at feeling blood. The fact that water is important for human life makes it more reasonable that evolution would lead to our having psychological reactions specific to the threat of water shortage.”(事实上,人类可能已经进化出了对水源的敏锐感知能力,因为它对我们太重要了。人类在没有金钱的情况下生存了几千年。人类可以在没有食物的情况下生存数周,但在没有水的情况下只能生存几天。已经证明,在我们的嗅觉中存在着与水有关的进化联系。人类感知新鲜降雨的气味的能力比鲨鱼感知血液的能力更好。水对人类生命很重要,这一事实使得进化会导致我们对缺水的威胁产生特定的心理反应更加合理。)可知,作者想在第四段强调水在我们的思维中有着重要的地位。故选A。
31.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our work suggests that as many places dry up, global warming could reshape how people think, pushing entire communities towards more careful, future-focused behaviour. That may offer a slim hope amid the threat of climate change.”(我们的工作表明,随着许多地方干涸,全球变暖可能会重塑人们的思维方式,促使整个社区采取更谨慎、更关注未来的行为。在气候变化的威胁下,这可能会带来一丝希望。)可知,水资源短缺促使我们为气候变化做好准备。故选B。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一篇发表于《科学报告》的新论文表明,在诗歌创作领域,人工智能(AI)可与人类抗衡。AI 聊天机器人模仿莎士比亚等著名诗人写的诗作,足以迷惑众多读者,不少研究参与者甚至更青睐聊天机器人创作的诗歌。
32. B　段落大意题。根据第一段中“As it turns out, AI can hold its own against humans when it comes to writing poetry…In addition, many study participants actually preferred the chatbot’s poetry over the works of well-known writers.”可知,第一段主要讲的是AI在写诗方面表现很好。故选B项。
33. C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“In an experiment, researchers asked a group of participants to read and rate poems on 14 qualities, ranging from rhythm (韵律) to originality.”可知,在实验中,参与者被要求从不同方面对给定的诗歌打分。故选C项。
34. D　细节理解题。根据第三段“Why do readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry It’s not entirely clear, but part of the guess is that they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. Understanding poems written by humans requires deep, critical thinking—and that’s a big part of poetry’s appeal. But modern readers don’t seem to want to do this labour, preferring texts that give them ‘instant answers’.”可知,AI生成的诗歌的特点之一是容易理解。故选D项。
35. B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. ‘Poetry will always be necessary,’ Lasky tells the Washington Post. ‘If these people in the study read AI poems and liked that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They had a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets—even robot poets.’”可知,拉斯基认为,读者喜欢 AI 生成的诗歌并非坏事。她向《华盛顿邮报》表示,诗歌永远是必要的,人们若更爱 AI 诗歌,她觉得很好,且诗歌领域能容纳包括机器人诗人在内的所有创作者。据此推知,拉斯基对AI生成的诗歌持欢迎的态度。故选B项。

②由第二段首句内容“令简惊讶的是,艾莉莎在网上看到了这个故事,然后拿起了电话。”可知,第二段可以描写二人取得联系后的交流。
2.续写线索:简有了一个主意—简发布故事到网上—艾莉莎看到并打电话—简接通—她们交流。
One possible version:
Suddenly, Jane had an idea. She could post the story on social media. After all, information on it could spread quickly. Without hesitation, she wrote her story, describing how Alisa helped her and her husband by letting them stay at her house and driving them home the next day. She also mentioned Alisa’s sick brother, who Alisa cared for with love. At the end of the story, she sincerely hoped Alisa could recognize her and contact her. After making sure everything was okay, she clicked and posted it.
To Jane’s surprise, Alisa saw the story online and picked up her phone. Years after they first met, they reconnected through a video call. Within the first few minutes of chatting, and with tears in her eyes, Jane thanked Alisa again. She said that over the past years, inspired by Alisa’s kindness, she had always tried to be like Alisa and help others. Alisa was surprised and moved to tears. They decided to set a date for a happy reunion.
