B The Chinese pancake, or jianbingguozi, is one of the most common breakfast foods in northern China, usually filled with materials like vegetables, eggs and spicy paste. On the video-sharing platform Douyin, French chef Corentin Delcroix’s video of his own type of jianbing has been viewed about 250,000 times. But just how does his differ? It is packed with cheese, ham, pickle (泡菜) and black truffle mayonnaise (黑松露蛋黄酱) — materials typically found in French pancakes, which Delcroix says aren’t all that different to Chinese pancakes. Delcroix’s addiction to Chinese cuisine started in 2002 when he was studying in Beijing. “The first Chinese dish I learned to cook was scrambled eggs with tomatoes. But my favorites are cooked wheat-based foods such as jiaozi and xiaolongbao,’” says Delcroix. After learning how to prepare some of the popular local dishes, Delcroix decided to share his favorite Chinese and French dishes on social media. And many of his videos show him preparing dishes that marry elements of both cuisines. But this effort is not just about self-improvement — Delcroix says he has also managed to learn more about Chinese cuisines through the comments that he receives from his viewers. “It is through the viewers that I get to learn how to create truly local dishes. The suggestions are faster and more direct than those from the market,” Delcroix says. Delcroix is presently a chef, a successful businessman and a food blogger who has millions of followers on Chinese social media platforms. Despite having learned so much about Chinese cuisine over the years, Delcroix is still hungry for more knowledge. Looking ahead, he wants to do more to spread Chinese cuisine to people overseas. “I always feel that there might be cultural barriers when Chinese chefs introduce their local cuisines to foreigners. It might be much easier for a foreigner to explain,” he adds, “I want to be that bridge.” 4. Which is the feature of Delcroix’s video? A. It introduces Chinese cuisine. B. It mainly shows wheat-based foods. C. It combines two countries’ cuisines. D. It shares how to make special jianbing. 5. What does the underlined word “those” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The Chinese cuisines. B. The suggestions. C. The local dishes. D. The viewers. 6 Why does Delcroix want to be a bridge? A. To open a Chinese restaurant in France. B. To get more knowledge of Chinese cuisine. C. To introduce more delicious food to his fans. D. To improve foreigners’ understanding of Chinese cuisine. 7. Which of the following best describes Delcroix? A. Creative and determined. B. Professional but negative. C. Humorous and talented. D. Curious but impatient. C Many people assume Egypt is, and always has been, a desert. But considering that climates and landscapes can change over time and that humans have been known to change natural environments, was ancient Egypt a desert? The simple answer is no. Not all of Egypt, ancient or modern, qualifies as a desert. Areas near the Nile River tend to be lusher (草木繁茂的), and Egyptians — in both ancient and modern times — have had a successful system of agriculture. However, the environment has changed over Egypt’s history, and the construction of the Aswan High Dam (坝) across the Nile between 1960 and 1970 changed the landscape greatly. Some areas of Egypt that are now desert were wetter in the past. One famous example is the “Cave of Swimmers” in southwestern Egypt. Today, the area is very dry, but thousands of years ago, it was wetter, and some of the rock art found in caves in the area appears to show people swimming, according to the British Museum. The Aswan High Dam caused some areas in southern Egypt to flood, leading to the creation of Lake Nasser. Many people had to move, and some archaeological (考古的) sites ended up underwater. The construction of the dam also ended the natural flooding of the Nile. The creation of Lake Nasser also led to more moisture (水分) in the air in some areas of southern Egypt. One effect of the generally higher Nile River levels during the Bronze Age is that around 2500 B. C., when the pyramids at Giza were constructed, the “Khufu branch”, a vanished (消失的) branch of the Nile River, came right next to the pyramids (金字塔). This branch allowed for materials to be transported to the site by boat, aiding in pyramid construction. The ancient Egyptians who lived by the Nile in some ways viewed themselves as living on an island in the Nile Valley, with the deserts as a sort of great sea. 8. What can we know about “Cave of Swimmers”? A. It used to be very dry. B. The rock art shows it used to be wet. C. It’s near the British Museum. D. It shows ancient Egyptians loved art. 9. What’s the result of the completion of the Aswan High Dam? A. It saves some Egypt archaeological sites. B. It brings in too much trouble for Egyptians. C. It affects Egypt both positively and negatively. D. It leads to more moisture in the air in the whole Egypt. 10. How did Khufu branch affect Egypt? A. By making Nile River water level higher. B. By helping people build pyramids more easily. C. By making ancient Egyptians live on an island. D. By leading some branches of the Nile River disappear. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Was Ancient Egypt a Desert? B. Do You Know Deserts in Egypt? C. Was Egypt a Great Country? D. Do You Know Ancient Egypt? D The rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) has been influencing education at all levels, from primary and secondary to higher education. Countries around the world are trying to find ways to use AI more flexibly in education, so as to provide education for students in faraway areas and teach people the skills needed to get successful jobs in the 21st century. China has become a leader in the application of AI in education and training by developing smart learning systems and stepping up research on AI. An important area of research is the possible use of AI to promote language learning. AI can help teachers to tailor resources for learners, producing their specific resources according to individual learners’ needs and improve students’ performance. Researchers from Beijing Normal University explored how an automatic resource generation system can help in teaching Chinese as a second language in schools. The researchers developed a model to use AI to ensure the resources meet learners’ needs, with studies showing the use of the teaching-learning model improved students’ performance. Students who were taught lessons using the model more actively participated in the course. In addition to teaching languages, AI can also be used to help students of all ages to learn about different cultures. Researchers from Beijing Foreign Studies University, and some other foreign universities have been exploring ways to use AI to help students from different countries learn from each other and know about each other’s cultures while sitting in the comfort of their homes. With the development of machine learning, AI has the potential to change education if designed and applied properly. AI applications should be designed in a way that they benefit learners and educators. For that purpose, rules for learners, teachers and other staff in educational organizations should be in place. 12. Why are countries exploring the use of AI in education? A. To become a leader in the world. B. To prepare people for future jobs. C. To develop smart learning system. D. To advance the use of AI in research. 13. What does the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Apply widely. B. Buy cheaply. C. Process carefully. D. Design specially. 14. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Making proper rules. B. Inventing smart systems. C. Conducting more researches. D. Learning different cultures. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The rapid development of AI. B. AI application in language teaching. C. Possible uses of AI in education. D. The development of machine learning. 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。 Music is a lot more than how it is defined.

It was during a summer between college terms, a time of uncertainty for my son. Benjy wanted to follow in my footsteps as a musician, but he was impatient for success. Talented as he was, often he took up one thing and his passion faded. I ached for him and wished I could say something. Taking a break, Benjy looked around our 15 acres with its stream, its trees, and its rolling grass. “This place is beautiful,” he said. “How did you get it?” I had long expected Benjy to ask about this, so I told him the story of the land. Gloria and I were teaching in a town where I had grown up. We wanted land so we could build a house to welcome our first baby. I noticed a parcel south of town where cattle grazed (吃草). It belonged to a 92-year-old retired banker named Mr. Yule, who owned a lot of land in the area, but was selling none of it. He gave the same speech to everyone who inquired. “I promised the farmers they could use it for their cattle.” Nevertheless, despite being turned down so many times, Gloria and I persisted in visiting him at the bank, where he still spent his days. Then one day, after we claimed our names and intention, Mr. Yule looked up from his paper, pursed his lips and stared. “Gaither. Bill Gaither. Are you any relation to Grover Gaither?” “Yes, sir. He was my granddad.” Mr. Yule put down his paper and removed his glasses. Then he pointed to a couple of chairs, and we sat down. “Grover Gaither was the best worker I ever had on my farm, patient and persistent in everything,” he said. “Showed up early, stayed late, did whatever needed doing and never had to be told.” Mr. Yule squinted, his eyes distant with the memory. “What’d you say you wanted, Gaither?” I told him again. “Let me do some thinking on it, then come back and see me.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Para1: We were in his office again within a week ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: I nodded at Benjy “Yes, patience and persistence really matter.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 勤建学校高二年级下学期第一次调研考试 英语试卷 2025.3 第二部分 阅读 (共两节,满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题: 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Our Jane Austen Book Box Program is designed to help schools, libraries, and community group introduce Austen to new generations and diverse readers.

On the video-sharing platform  Douyin , French chef Corentin Delcroix’s video of his own type of  jianbing  has been viewed about 250,000 times. But just how does his differ? It is packed with cheese, ham, pickle (泡菜) and black truffle mayonnaise (黑松露蛋黄酱) — materials typically found in French pancakes (中国煎饼是中国北方最常见的早餐食品之一，通常馅料包括蔬菜、鸡蛋和辣酱。在视频分享平台抖音上，法国厨师Corentin Delcroix制作的煎饼视频已经被观看了25万次。但他的区别在哪里呢?它的馅料有奶酪、火腿、泡菜和黑松露蛋黄酱——这些都是法式煎饼中常见的材料)”和第二段中“Delcroix decided to share his favorite Chinese and French dishes on social media. And many of his videos show him preparing dishes that marry elements of both cuisines.

It might be much easier for a foreigner to explain,” he adds, “I want to be that bridge.” (“我总觉得，当中国厨师向外国人介绍当地美食时，可能会有文化障碍。外国人可能更容易解释，”他补充说，“我想成为那座桥梁。”)”可知，德尔克鲁瓦想成为桥梁是因为他想要提升外国人对中国美食的了解。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Delcroix decided to share his favorite Chinese and French dishes on social media.

(埃及现在是沙漠的一些地区过去比较湿润。一个著名的例子是埃及西南部的‘游泳者洞穴’。今天，该地区非常干燥，但几千年前，它更潮湿，在该地区的洞穴中发现的一些岩石艺术似乎显示了人们在游泳，据大英博物馆说。)”可知，“游泳者洞穴”在数千年前是潮湿的，因为在该地区的洞穴中发现的一些岩画似乎显示了人们在游泳。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。文章第四段“The Aswan High Dam caused some areas in southern Egypt to flood, leading to the creation of Lake Nasser. Many people had to move, and some archaeological (考古的) sites ended up underwater. The construction of the dam also ended the natural flooding of the Nile. The creation of Lake Nasser also led to more moisture (水分) in the air in some areas of southern Egypt. (阿斯旺大坝导致埃及南部一些地区发生洪水，导致纳赛尔湖的形成。许多人不得不搬迁，一些考古遗址被淹没在水下。大坝的建设也结束了尼罗河的自然洪水。纳赛尔湖的形成也导致了埃及南部一些地区空气中的水分增加。)”可知，阿斯旺大坝对埃及既有积极的影响，如形成湖泊、结束自然洪水、使埃及南部一些地区空气中的水分增加，但也有弊端，如南部一些地区发生洪水导致人们搬迁、考古遗址被淹没在水下。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。文章第五段“One effect of the generally higher Nile River levels during the Bronze Age is that around 2500 B. C., when the pyramids at Giza were constructed, the ‘Khufu branch’, a vanished (消失的) branch of the Nile River, came right next to the pyramids (金字塔). This branch allowed for materials to be transported to the site by boat, aiding in pyramid construction. (在青铜时代，尼罗河水位普遍较高的一个影响是，大约公元前2500年，当吉萨金字塔建成时，尼罗河的一个消失的支流‘胡夫支流’正好出现在金字塔旁边。这条分支使得材料可以用船运送到现场，有助于金字塔的建造。)”可知，大约公元前2500年，在建筑吉萨金字塔时，旁边有一条尼罗河的支流“胡夫支流”，该分支可以将材料通过船运至现场，协助吉萨金字塔的建设，由此可知“胡夫支流”帮助人们更容易地建造金字塔。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Many people assume Egypt is, and always has been, a desert. But considering that climates and landscapes can change over time and that humans have been known to change natural environments, was ancient Egypt a desert? (许多人认为埃及现在是，而且一直是一片沙漠。但考虑到气候和景观会随着时间的推移而变化，而且人类已经知道改变自然环境，那么古埃及是一片沙漠吗？)”，第一段的最后一句提出了文章的主题，然后文章对此问题进行了阐述和解释，因此A项“Was Ancient Egypt a Desert?”是最佳选项。故选A项。 D The rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) has been influencing education at all levels, from primary and secondary to higher education. Countries around the world are trying to find ways to use AI more flexibly in education, so as to provide education for students in faraway areas and teach people the skills needed to get successful jobs in the 21st century. China has become a leader in the application of AI in education and training by developing smart learning systems and stepping up research on AI. An important area of research is the possible use of AI to promote language learning. AI can help teachers to tailor resources for learners, producing their specific resources according to individual learners’ needs and improve students’ performance. Researchers from Beijing Normal University explored how an automatic resource generation system can help in teaching Chinese as a second language in schools. The researchers developed a model to use AI to ensure the resources meet learners’ needs, with studies showing the use of the teaching-learning model improved students’ performance. Students who were taught lessons using the model more actively participated in the course. In addition to teaching languages, AI can also be used to help students of all ages to learn about different cultures. Researchers from Beijing Foreign Studies University, and some other foreign universities have been exploring ways to use AI to help students from different countries learn from each other and know about each other’s cultures while sitting in the comfort of their homes. With the development of machine learning, AI has the potential to change education if designed and applied properly. AI applications should be designed in a way that they benefit learners and educators. For that purpose, rules for learners, teachers and other staff in educational organizations should be in place. 12. Why are countries exploring the use of AI in education? A. To become a leader in the world. B. To prepare people for future jobs. C. To develop smart learning system. D. To advance the use of AI in research. 13. What does the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Apply widely. B. Buy cheaply. C. Process carefully. D. Design specially. 14. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Making proper rules. B. Inventing smart systems. C. Conducting more researches. D. Learning different cultures. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The rapid development of AI. B. AI application in language teaching. C. Possible uses of AI in education. D. The development of machine learning. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15.

It was during a summer between college terms, a time of uncertainty for my son. Benjy wanted to follow in my footsteps as a musician, but he was impatient for success. Talented as he was, often he took up one thing and his passion faded. I ached for him and wished I could say something. Taking a break, Benjy looked around our 15 acres with its stream, its trees, and its rolling grass. “This place is beautiful,” he said. “How did you get it?” I had long expected Benjy to ask about this, so I told him the story of the land. Gloria and I were teaching in a town where I had grown up. We wanted land so we could build a house to welcome our first baby. I noticed a parcel south of town where cattle grazed (吃草). It belonged to a 92-year-old retired banker named Mr. Yule, who owned a lot of land in the area, but was selling none of it. He gave the same speech to everyone who inquired. “I promised the farmers they could use it for their cattle.” Nevertheless, despite being turned down so many times, Gloria and I persisted in visiting him at the bank, where he still spent his days. Then one day, after we claimed our names and intention, Mr. Yule looked up from his paper, pursed his lips and stared. “Gaither. Bill Gaither. Are you any relation to Grover Gaither?” “Yes sir. He was my granddad.” Mr. Yule put down his paper and removed his glasses. Then he pointed to a couple of chairs, and we sat down. “Grover Gaither was the best worker I ever had on my farm, patient and persistent in everything,” he said. “Showed up early, stayed late, did whatever needed doing and never had to be told.” Mr. Yule squinted, his eyes distant with the memory. “What’d you say you wanted, Gaither?” I told him again. “Let me do some thinking on it, then come back and see me.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Para1: We were in his office again within a week. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: I nodded at Benjy, “Yes, patience and persistence really matter.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Para 1: We were in his office again within a week. To our surprise, Mr. Yule greeted us warmly and informed us of his decision. “I’ve thought about it, Gaither. I’ll sell you that parcel of land,” he said with a firm voice, handing us the terms of the sale. The price was unexpectedly reasonable, and we were overjoyed. Before we could thank him, Mr. Yule added, “Your granddad taught me that good things come to those who are patient and persistent. I see the same quality in you.” With hard work and determination, we eventually built our home on that land, which marked the beginning of countless cherished memories. Para 2: I nodded at Benjy, “Yes, patience and persistence really matter.” Benjy looked thoughtful as he processed my words. “So, it’s not just about talent, but also about sticking to something and working hard for it?” he asked. I smiled, sensing a breakthrough. “Exactly, son. Success doesn’t come overnight. It’s about staying dedicated even when things get tough.” That afternoon, we kept working silently in the yard, but I could sense a shift in Benjy’s attitude. Later that evening, he played his guitar with renewed passion, as if he had rediscovered his purpose and the value of perseverance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了父亲与儿子本吉在院子里工作时，本吉对成功感到急躁，询问父亲如何得到他们的15英亩土地。父亲回忆了他和妻子如何坚持拜访92岁的退休银行家尤勒先生，最终凭借祖父格罗弗·盖瑟曾是尤勒农场所信赖的好工人这一关系，获得了购买土地的机会。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“一周内我们又去了他的办公室。”可知，第一段可以描写尤勒先生同意出售土地及原因。 ②由第二段句首内容“我向本吉点了点头，‘是的，耐心和毅力真的很重要。’”可知，第二段可以描写本吉听完后对此事的理解和变化。 2.续写线索：又去办公室——同意——耐心和毅力重要——感悟——变化 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知某人某事：inform sb. of sth./tell sb. sth. ②考虑：think about/consider ③递给某人某物：hand sb. sth./pass sb. sth. 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②喜出望外：overjoyed/very delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】Your granddad taught me that good things come to those who are patient and persistent.
