It was a place where I could relax myself, be creative and have fun. In September of 2020, I started a side business in São Paulo selling bread, sauces and other foods online. At the same time, my husband and I were revisiting our dream of living abroad. Canada seemed like the perfect choice because of its diverse (多样的) food culture. I chose to study culinary (烹饪的) management at George Brown College, one of Canada’s top culinary schools. I started my two-year program in September 2022. The program included business courses, such as human resources, and marketing, as well as hands-on cooking classes. I learned skills to be a cook, like working with flavors (味道), and how to prepare large amounts of food. Some days, I was on my feet from 7 am to 5 pm, but my heart was filled with happiness. Being in a kitchen invigorated me. I knew that cooking was what I wanted to do. During my studies, I had some exciting opportunities. I was a finalist in a school cooking competition, where I made salpicao, a traditional Brazilian turkey salad. In April 2024, I entered a cooking competition hosted by Cookin, an app where chefs sell and deliver meals. I created a Brazilian-inspired menu, with dishes from the countryside to the coast, including pulled pork with guava jam and chips. I was one of the winners and got to run an online store, Flavia’s Taste of Brazil, for a week. Using the college’s kitchen, I completed 25 orders, preparing a total of 41 meals. Going back to college wasn’t just about learning the hard skills of cooking. It gave me courage and confidence to go for my love. 4. What can we know about the author when she was a child? A.

Which best explains the underlined word “invigorated” in paragraph 2? A. Made fun of someone. B. Gave energy to someone. C. Kept track of someone. D. Left a message to someone, 7. What does the author’s success in cooking competitions suggest? A. She is a uniquely gifted teacher. B. She is inspired by other winners. C. She is highly skilled and creative. D. She is lucky enough to be a finalist. C Wu Xiong, a 40-year-old headmaster, has spent 20 years turning a once-deserted rural school in the mountains into a center for sports and education. In 2004, Wu became headmaster of Tangfang Primary School in Baling Town, Guizhou Province. At that time, the school was merely an old house, with 3 teachers and 75 students. Worse still, many children showed little interest in attending school. To address this issue, Wu had an idea: sports. In 2006, the school held its first sports meeting. “We carried a cement slab (水泥板) from 1.5 kilometers away and used wooden boards as a net for a table tennis competition,” Wu recalled. With more money put into education, Tangfang Primary School got better facilities, but Wu still felt it necessary for students to participate in sporting activities. Now, basketball hoops (篮圈) are designed in three different sizes to suit students of different age groups, while sports equipment storage facilities are never locked up. Wu also makes it a rule that PE cannot yield to other subjects. Now, students have at least 2.5 hours set aside every day for physical activities. Among the 469 students of the school, only six wear glasses. Meanwhile, by participating in various sports competitions, the students learn how to deal with wins and losses properly. According to a recent report, the school's average scores have risen from below 30 in 2004 to over 80 in 2023. Sports have offered the students another way out of the mountains. More than 100 graduates of the school have entered middle schools as sports-focused students. Wu hopes that the happy school memories will help graduates stay connected to their hometown and get ready for their future. 8. What inspired Wu to think of sports as a solution? A. Rich sports resources. B. Requirements from teachers. C. Students' lack of interest in study. D. Children's stress from examinations. 9. What does the underlined phrase "yield to" in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Compare with. B. Give in to. C. Contribute to. D. Take the place of. 10. Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 4? A. To show progress in grades. B. To highlight influences of sports. C. To stress the importance of study. D. To introduce types of sports activities. 11 Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Headmaster Transformed School With Sports B. A Unique Physical Education Class C. Students Made Breakthroughs in Competition D. The Life Story of a Headmaster D We used to write with a pen. Now we generally write on a computer with the help of keyboard. In this digital age, artificial intelligence has become a new type of “pen” which we use to analyze, write and present everything from an article, a thesis, a research paper to a company report, and things alike. Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards. Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency. However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable. Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole. That is why many universities have been keeping students from using AI tools for academic writing, and have conducted rules limiting, if not altogether banning the use of Generative AI in academic writing. According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors. Only 4 percent of the universities allow the use of AI (with citation) unless instructors forbid it. 12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The importance of academic writing. B. The potential users of AI-powered writing. C. The challenges faced by researchers and scholars. D. The popularity of AI-powered writing on campuses. 13. What may be the author’s attitude towards a research report written by AI? A. Negative. B. Dismissive. C. Positive. D. Unclear. 14. Who have the right to decide the use of Al in academic writing in most universities? A. Fund sponsors. B. Individual instructors. C. Would-be graduates. D. Producers of AI tools. 15. Which idiom can best describe AI-powered writing? A. A wet blanket. B. A pie in the sky. C A double-edged sword. D. A big fish in a small pond. 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。 The Future of 6G: Faster, Smarter, and Closer 6G, the next generation of mobile networks, is coming soon.

So, I shouted angrily at my husband, who played card games last night instead of repairing the washing machine. Then, I saw my six-old-year-son Jonathan touching limb(大树枝) of my azalea(杜鹃)bush. Before I could stop it, he’d broken it. “Can I take the flowers to school today?” he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so that he wouldn’t see the tears gathering in my eyes. It was days like this that made me want to give up. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains, hide in a cave, and never come out. The rest of the day, I washed and dried clothes, thinking how love had disappeared from my life. Then, I looked at the clock. It was 2: 30. I was late. Jonathan’s class finished at 2: 15 and I hurriedly drove to the school. I was out of breath when I arrived at the teacher’s door. The teacher rushed through the door and took me aside. “I want to talk to you about Jonathan,” she said. I prepared myself for the worst. “Do you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?” she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite azalea bush. “Let me tell you about yesterday,” the teacher said. “See that little girl?” I noticed a bright-eyed girl laughing there. I nodded. She continued, “Well, her parents are always quarreling. Yesterday she told me she didn’t want to live. I watched her bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, ‘Nobody loves me.’ I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make things worse.” “Did Jonathan do anything to help?” I asked. “Yes,” the teacher said firmly. Paragraph 1: Then, the teacher told me what happened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later that evening, I was looking at the azaleas when I heard the familiar sound of my husband’s brakes(刹车). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025年春季期4月高二四校联考 英语试题 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7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.

This morning, my son walked straight over to that little girl, handed her some pretty pink flowers and said, “I love you,” she looked at Jonathan gratefully, with tears streaming down her cheeks. Then he patted her on the shoulder and sat by her side for a long time. It was my son that helped rebuild her faith! My heart was filled with pride for what my son had done. I found Jonathan, reached for his hand and whispered, “Thank you. You’ve made my day.” Later that evening, I was looking at the azaleas when I heard the familiar sound of my husband's brakes. I immediately picked some pink azaleas off the bush. My husband’s eyes widened in surprise as I handed him the flowers and said, “I love you.” I then explained, “Today, Jonathan comforted a little girl by giving her azaleas. I’ve learned a lesson that we should put love into practice.” My husband hugged me tightly in tears. Thanks to Jonathan, the seed of love that had been planted in my family began to bloom once again in us. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
