This scene, known as kabootarazi, dates back to ancient courts (宫廷) and reached its height under the Mughal rulers. More than a pastime, it is a living tradition that expresses identity and belonging. For centuries, it has been passed down from father to son, forming a strict system in which the most skilled are honored as masters. Yet, this male-dominated world has been reshaped by one remarkable woman, Shaheen Parveen. Parveen is the only female pigeon keeper in Delhi. By day, she is a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. But in the evening, she climbs to her rooftop, tending to her pigeons with care. She checks their health, prepares a special grain mix, and trains them through calls and gestures. Her voice, sharp and confident, often rises above the chorus of men around her, drawing neighbors to watch. “They are like my children,” she says. “Without them, I feel unwell.” Her journey has not been easy. Encouraged by her father but opposed by her brother and criticized by neighbors, she faced doubts about whether a woman should take part in kabootarazi. Still, she kept on, driven by passion. Her turning point came when her pigeons won a major race against seasoned trainers, earning her applause, gifts, and respect from the people in this area. “It felt like India had won the World Cup,” Parveen recalls with a smile. Today, respected pigeon keepers support her with feed and medicine, while travelers and social media creators flood to witness the ancient sport. Through Parveen, the tradition lives on, enriched with new meaning. As night falls, she calls her birds, and they return swiftly. “They know my voice, and I know theirs,” she says. This lasting tie shows the heart of kabootarazi: a tradition of culture, strength, and love that continues to rise. 4. What can be inferred about kabootarazi? A. It dates back to ancient grassroots. B. It involves training and racing pigeons. C. It is nothing but a job of selling pigeons. D. It has been passed down among females. 5. Which best describes Parveen’s feeling towards pigeons? A. Attached. B. Annoyed. C. Curious. D. Uneasy. 6. What did pigeons’ win bring for Parveen? A. Criticism from seasoned trainers. B. Recognition from her community. C. A desire to win more Indian races. D. A chance to attend the World Cup. 7. What does the last paragraph stress about kabootarazi? A. Its disappearance. B. Its operation rules. C. The importance of preserving it. D. The lack of attention to it. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了女性驯鸽师Parveen传承并发展传统驯鸽运动的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In Old Delhi, when the sun sets, whistles and shouts rise from roofs as flocks of pigeons (鸽子) take to the sky. This scene, known as kabootarazi, dates back to ancient courts (宫廷) and reached its height under the Mughal rulers.(在旧德里，每当夕阳西下，屋顶便响起阵阵哨声与呼喊，成群的鸽子振翅飞向天际。这一被称作“kabootarazi”的赛鸽传统，起源于古代宫廷，在莫卧儿王朝时期走向鼎盛)”、第二段中“She checks their health, prepares a special grain mix, and trains them through calls and gestures.(她检查鸽子的健康状况，调配特制的谷物饲料，通过口令与手势训练它们)”、第三段中“Her turning point came when her pigeons won a major race against seasoned trainers, earning her applause, gifts, and respect from the people in this area.(她的人生转折点，源于她的鸽子在一场重要赛事中，击败了经验老道的训鸽师 —— 这为她赢得了当地居民的掌声、馈赠与尊重)”可知，kabootarazi涉及训练和比赛鸽子。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““They are like my children,” she says. “Without them, I feel unwell.”(“它们就像我的孩子，”她说。“没有它们，我会感觉不舒服。”)”可知，Parveen对鸽子有深厚的感情，非常依恋它们。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Her turning point came when her pigeons won a major race against seasoned trainers, earning her applause, gifts, and respect from the people in this area.(她的人生转折点，源于她的鸽子在一场重要赛事中，击败了经验老道的训鸽师 —— 这为她赢得了当地居民的掌声、馈赠与尊重)”可知，鸽子的胜利为Parveen带来了当地居民的认可。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Through Parveen, the tradition lives on, enriched with new meaning.(通过Parveen，这一传统得以延续，并赋予了新的意义)”以及“This lasting tie shows the heart of kabootarazi: a tradition of culture, strength, and love that continues to rise.(这种持久的联系展示了kabootarazi的核心：一种文化、力量和爱的传统，仍在继续发扬光大)”可知，最后一段强调了保护kabootarazi这一传统的重要性。故选C。 C Artificial intelligence (AI) is known for solving problems and answering questions, but can it handle emotionally sensitive situations? A team of researchers from the University of Geneva and the University of Bern tested six advanced AI systems, including a popular chatbot, using emotional intelligence tests designed for humans. The results were surprising: These AIs performed better than the average human and even created new emotional intelligence tests in a short time. This discovery suggests that AI can be useful in areas like teaching, personal coaching, and resolving conflicts. The study focused on how well AI could respond to emotionally charged scenarios. For example, one test presented a dilemma: What should Michael do after finding that a colleague had stolen his project idea and later received public praise for it? The options included arguing with the colleague, talking to a manager, silently feeling upset, or taking a similarly underhanded step in return. A proper answer was to talk to a manager. Researchers compared the AI’s answers to those of human participants. On average, the AI scored 82% correct answers, while humans achieved only 56%. This shows that AI not only understands emotions but also knows how to act with emotional intelligence. In another part of the study, researchers asked the chatbot to create new emotional intelligence tests. These tests were given to over 400 people, who found them just as clear and realistic as traditional tests that took years to develop. Marcello Mortillaro, a senior scientist at the University of Geneva, explained that this ability proves AI has emotional knowledge and can think about feelings logically. These findings suggest that AI could assist in areas once thought to require the human ability, such as education or conflict resolution. However, experts stress that AI should still be guided and monitored by humans. While AI may not feel emotions itself, its ability to understand and reason about them opens exciting possibilities for the future. 8. What is the researchers’ view on AI’s emotional intelligence? A. It’s lower than the average human’s. B. It’s the first breakthrough in research. C. It’s unreliable in real-world applications. D. It’s a tool for improving human skills. 9. What does the underlined word “underhanded” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Fast and correct. B. Public and direct. C. Secret and dishonest. D. Complex and misunderstood. 10. Why does the author mention the tests created by the chatbot? A To underscore humans’ logical thinking. B. To prove traditional testing’s drawbacks. C. To argue for AI’s overall advantage in studies. D. To provide evidence for a scientific conclusion. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A New Study Questions the Usefulness of AI B. AI Advances into Human Emotional Intelligence C. The Emotional Conflict Between AI and Humans D. The Challenges of Teaching AI About Human Feelings 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了两所大学研究者测试AI情商，发现其表现优于普通人且能设计相关测试，AI可助力多领域，不过其应用仍需人类的指导与监督。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This discovery suggests that AI can be useful in areas like teaching, personal coaching, and resolving conflicts. (这一发现表明，人工智能在教学、个人辅导和解决冲突等领域都能发挥作用)”及最后一段“These findings suggest that AI could assist in areas once thought to require the human ability, (这些发现表明，人工智能可以在那些曾被认为需要人类能力的领域提供帮助)”可知，研究者认为AI的情商能成为提升人类技能的工具。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“For example, one test presented a dilemma: What should Michael do after finding that a colleague had stolen his project idea and later received public praise for it? The options included arguing with the colleague, talking to a manager, silently feeling upset, or taking a similarly underhanded step in return. (例如，一项测试提出了一个两难境地：迈克尔发现一位同事窃取了他的项目想法，后来又因此获得了公众的赞誉，他该怎么办？这些选择包括与同事争论、与经理交谈、默默地感到沮丧，或者采取类似的underhanded手段作为回报)”可知，同事的行为是不诚实的，similarly表明该词与“窃取想法”的不诚信属性相关，意为“秘密且不诚实的”。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Marcello Mortillaro, a senior scientist at the University of Geneva, explained that this ability proves AI has emotional knowledge and can think about feelings logically. (日内瓦大学的高级科学家Marcello Mortillaro解释说，这种能力证明了人工智能具有情感知识，并且能对情感进行逻辑思考)”可知，作者提及聊天机器人设计的测试，是为了给这一科学结论提供实际证据。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕日内瓦和伯尔尼大学的研究者对AI情商的测试展开，核心发现是AI的情商表现优于普通人，还能设计情商测试，在人类情商相关领域具备应用潜力，“人工智能进军人类情感智力领域”概括了文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选B项。 D Spanish scientist Pilar Bosch has found a way to use bacteria to repair 18th-century paintings. Bosch a microbiologist, says that she got the idea for the method while considering possibilities for a paper toward her doctoral degree. During this process, she discovered someone else’s paper that suggested bacteria could be used to restore artworks. At around the same time, Bosch learned that her mother was struggling to find a good method for restoring 18th-century paintings. The paintings, by Spanish artist Antonio Palomino, sat in Santos Juanes, one of the oldest churches in the city of Valencia. Bosch said her mother noted how difficult the restoration process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) on the wall paintings in the 1960s. The substance was nearly impossible to remove completely. “My mother had a very difficult problem to solve, and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean wall paintings in Italy,” Bosch said. She decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject. That was more than ten years ago. Today, Bosch gets to work with her mother on the church restoration. They are using the bacteria method to remove glue from artworks. The $4.46 million project is being financed by local organizations. The process involves feeding small amounts of the glue — made from animal protein — to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce matters to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural substance based on algae (海藻), called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. They say that after about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free. Bosch’s mother observed that in the past, restorers of artworks had to use traditional cleaning methods that took hours and damaged the painting. She pointed out that several other relatives in the family also work in art restoration. Bosch agreed, saying the work certainly runs in the family. 12. What difficulty did Bosch’s mother have in restoring the paintings? A. Cleaning their surface. B. Determining their ages. C. Removing the bacteria from them. D. Finding the methods for storing them. 13. Which proverb matches Bosch’s doctoral decision? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Knowledge starts with practice. C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Actions speak louder than words. 14. What does paragraph 5 mainly show about the paintings? A. The process of removing glue from them. B. The process of algae’s formation on them. C. The process of funding the restoration of them. D. The process of animal protein’s break-down on them. 15. What can we learn about Bosch’s engagement in art restoration? A. It takes many hours. B. It uses a traditional method. C. It is easy to damage paintings. D. It is a family tradition. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了科学家用细菌修复18世纪画作及家族传承的故事。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Bosch said her mother noted how difficult the restoration process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) on the wall paintings in the 1960s. The substance was nearly impossible to remove completely.(Bosch说，母亲曾跟她提起，教堂内的画作修复工作推进得十分艰难，原因之一是20世纪60年代给壁画涂刷的一层胶水，这种物质几乎无法被彻底清除。)”可知，Bosch的母亲在修复这些画作时遇到的困难是去除壁画表面的胶水。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““My mother had a very difficult problem to solve, and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean wall paintings in Italy,” Bosch said. She decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject.(“我母亲有一个非常难解决的问题，而我找到了一篇关于用细菌清洁意大利壁画的论文，”Bosch说。她决定以这个主题写她的博士论文。)”可知，Bosch既解决了母亲修复画作中去除胶水的难题，又找到了自己博士论文的主题，可谓一举两得。C选项“Kill two birds with one stone.(一石二鸟)”符合语境。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中“The process involves feeding small amounts of the glue — made from animal protein — to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce matters to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural substance based on algae (海藻), called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. They say that after about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free.(这个过程包括向细菌喂食少量的由动物蛋白制成的胶水。一段时间后，细菌开始自然产生分解胶水的物质。然后，这对母女将细菌与一种基于海藻的天然物质（称为凝胶）混合，并将其涂抹在画作上。她们说，大约三个小时后，凝胶混合物被移除，画作上就没有胶水了。)”可知，本段主要介绍了从画作上去除胶水的过程。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Bosch agreed, saying the work certainly runs in the family.(Bosch同意这一点，并说这项工作肯定是家族传统。)”可知，Bosch从事艺术修复工作是家族传统。故选D。 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。 Today, screens have become an inseparable part of human life. ____16____ While technology offers numerous benefits, excessive screen time can negatively impact their health.

Just the first dish made my face and clothes all covered in oil and rice. It was the first time for me to try to cook a dish. My best friend Lily had promised to help but she’d texted that evening about a family emergency. Now I was alone, facing the ultimate challenge: cooking fried rice for our weekend dinner. To make matters worse, I’d always been nervous around the stove, afraid that the oil might catch fire. Although I had learned basic kitchen safety at school, facing a real pan felt entirely different for me. What my father said yesterday echoed in my ears, “Remember, son, cooking is just like an experiment in mixing chemical ingredients you can eat!” It was easy for him to say — he was a chemistry professor who could somehow burn water. However, my mom, a Chinese language teacher, often created culinary magic in the kitchen. She made it effortlessly, dancing between the stove and chopping board like some kind of culinary ballet dancer. “The key is preparation and patience,” she once told me. “And always taste as you go.” But today was my turn to surprise them both. I fired up the pan again, watching the oil shine like liquid gold. The onions hit the pan with a satisfying sound, and I felt a sense of confidence. Then Lily made a video call. Seeing my face, she laughed, “Ha-ha, you are just like a little cat.” Then she reminded me, “Don’t forget to use the rice cooked yesterday so it’s dry enough!” My heart sank. Yesterday? I’d been so focused on the protein and vegetables that I’d completely overlooked the most basic ingredient. The rice I’d cooked this morning was still warm and sticky, completely wrong for fried rice. No wonder the first attempt at making fried rice ended in failure. I felt very panicked as I stared at the white “mound (土墩)”, imagining my parents’ disappointed faces. 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。 Then I thought of my mother’s recipe book. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a small flame even jumped from the pan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Then I thought of my mother’s recipe book. Holding it was like grasping a lifeline. I told Lily that I would try again and let her witness the miracle. “Fried rice for the ones I love,”I muttered. This time, I used leftover rice from the fridge and followed the steps in the book. I channeled my inner“culinary ballet dancer”, tossing ingredients with more hope and love. Smelling the aroma of garlic, oil, and rice being stir-fried together, I felt proud and imagined Lily’s praise for my creation. I was so lost in this victorious daydream that I didn’t notice the oil beginning to smoke. Suddenly, a small flame even jumped from the pan. My heart leaped to my throat, but my hands remembered the drill: turn off the heat and slide the lid on. In a breath, the flame was gone, leaving only a wisp of smoke and my pounding heart. Just then, the door opened. “Something smells incredible!” my parents exclaimed. Their eyes widened as they saw me slightly smoky but standing tall by the stove. We gathered around the table, and as they took their first bites, their surprised smiles told me everything. Under the warm kitchen light, my once-fearful stove had become the stage for our best dinner together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述“我”首次尝试做炒饭，好友莉莉因家庭急事未能相助，“我”本就怕用灶台，首试还因用了刚煮的黏米饭失败，想起父母的烹饪建议，正惊慌时莉莉视频提醒，才发现忽略了关键食材的问题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这时我想起了妈妈的食谱本。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：“我”翻出妈妈的食谱本，用剩米饭再试做炒饭，翻炒时满心自豪陷入遐想，却没发现锅里的油已冒烟。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然锅里窜起小火苗。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：炒饭时油锅起火，“我”冷静处理后火灭，父母归来尝过炒饭露出惊喜笑容，灶台也成了温馨的晚餐舞台。 2.续写线索：翻出妈妈的食谱本——再试做炒饭——油锅起火——冷静处理——父母尝炒饭——父母露出满意笑容 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.注意到：notice/pay attention to ②.想象：imagine/picture ③.看见：see/spot/catch sight of 情绪类 ①.惊讶的：surprised/astonished/shocked ②.害怕的：fearful/scared/afraid 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B In Old Delhi, when the sun sets, whistles and shouts rise from roofs as flocks of pigeons (鸽子) take to the sky. This scene, known as kabootarazi, dates back to ancient courts (宫廷) and reached its height under the Mughal rulers. More than a pastime, it is a living tradition that expresses identity and belonging. For centuries, it has been passed down from father to son, forming a strict system in which the most skilled are honored as masters. Yet, this male-dominated world has been reshaped by one remarkable woman, Shaheen Parveen. Parveen is the only female pigeon keeper in Delhi. By day, she is a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. But in the evening, she climbs to her rooftop, tending to her pigeons with care. She checks their health, prepares a special grain mix, and trains them through calls and gestures. Her voice, sharp and confident, often rises above the chorus of men around her, drawing neighbors to watch. “They are like my children,” she says. “Without them, I feel unwell.” Her journey has not been easy. Encouraged by her father but opposed by her brother and criticized by neighbors, she faced doubts about whether a woman should take part in kabootarazi. Still, she kept on, driven by passion. Her turning point came when her pigeons won a major race against seasoned trainers, earning her applause, gifts, and respect from the people in this area. “It felt like India had won the World Cup,” Parveen recalls with a smile. Today, respected pigeon keepers support her with feed and medicine, while travelers and social media creators flood to witness the ancient sport. Through Parveen, the tradition lives on, enriched with new meaning. As night falls, she calls her birds, and they return swiftly. “They know my voice, and I know theirs,” she says. This lasting tie shows the heart of kabootarazi: a tradition of culture, strength, and love that continues to rise. 4. What can be inferred about kabootarazi? A. It dates back to ancient grassroots. B. It involves training and racing pigeons. C. It is nothing but a job of selling pigeons. D It has been passed down among females. 5. Which best describes Parveen’s feeling towards pigeons? A. Attached. B. Annoyed. C. Curious. D. Uneasy. 6. What did pigeons’ win bring for Parveen? A. Criticism from seasoned trainers. B. Recognition from her community. C. A desire to win more Indian races. D. A chance to attend the World Cup. 7. What does the last paragraph stress about kabootarazi? A. Its disappearance. B. Its operation rules. C. The importance of preserving it. D. The lack of attention to it. C Artificial intelligence (AI) is known for solving problems and answering questions, but can it handle emotionally sensitive situations? A team of researchers from the University of Geneva and the University of Bern tested six advanced AI systems, including a popular chatbot, using emotional intelligence tests designed for humans. The results were surprising: These AIs performed better than the average human and even created new emotional intelligence tests in a short time. This discovery suggests that AI can be useful in areas like teaching, personal coaching, and resolving conflicts. The study focused on how well AI could respond to emotionally charged scenarios. For example one test presented a dilemma: What should Michael do after finding that a colleague had stolen his project idea and later received public praise for it? The options included arguing with the colleague, talking to a manager, silently feeling upset, or taking a similarly underhanded step in return. A proper answer was to talk to a manager. Researchers compared the AI’s answers to those of human participants. On average, the AI scored 82% correct answers, while humans achieved only 56%. This shows that AI not only understands emotions but also knows how to act with emotional intelligence. In another part of the study, researchers asked the chatbot to create new emotional intelligence tests. These tests were given to over 400 people, who found them just as clear and realistic as traditional tests that took years to develop. Marcello Mortillaro, a senior scientist at the University of Geneva, explained that this ability proves AI has emotional knowledge and can think about feelings logically. These findings suggest that AI could assist in areas once thought to require the human ability, such as education or conflict resolution. However, experts stress that AI should still be guided and monitored by humans. While AI may not feel emotions itself, its ability to understand and reason about them opens exciting possibilities for the future. 8. What is the researchers’ view on AI’s emotional intelligence? A. It’s lower than the average human’s. B. It’s the first breakthrough in research. C. It’s unreliable in real-world applications. D. It’s a tool for improving human skills. 9. What does the underlined word “underhanded” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Fast and correct. B. Public and direct. C. Secret and dishonest. D. Complex and misunderstood. 10. Why does the author mention the tests created by the chatbot? A. To underscore humans’ logical thinking. B. To prove traditional testing’s drawbacks. C. To argue for AI’s overall advantage in studies. D. To provide evidence for a scientific conclusion. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A New Study Questions the Usefulness of AI B. AI Advances into Human Emotional Intelligence C. The Emotional Conflict Between AI and Humans D. The Challenges of Teaching AI About Human Feelings D Spanish scientist Pilar Bosch has found a way to use bacteria to repair 18th-century paintings. Bosch, a microbiologist, says that she got the idea for the method while considering possibilities for a paper toward her doctoral degree. During this process, she discovered someone else’s paper that suggested bacteria could be used to restore artworks. At around the same time, Bosch learned that her mother was struggling to find a good method for restoring 18th-century paintings. The paintings, by Spanish artist Antonio Palomino, sat in Santos Juanes, one of the oldest churches in the city of Valencia. Bosch said her mother noted how difficult the restoration process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) on the wall paintings in the 1960s. The substance was nearly impossible to remove completely. “My mother had a very difficult problem to solve, and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean wall paintings in Italy,” Bosch said. She decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject. That was more than ten years ago. Today, Bosch gets to work with her mother on the church restoration. They are using the bacteria method to remove glue from artworks. The $4.46 million project is being financed by local organizations. The process involves feeding small amounts of the glue — made from animal protein — to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce matters to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural substance based on algae (海藻), called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. They say that after about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free. Bosch’s mother observed that in the past, restorers of artworks had to use traditional cleaning methods that took hours and damaged the painting. She pointed out that several other relatives in the family also work in art restoration. Bosch agreed, saying the work certainly runs in the family. 12.

Just the first dish made my face and clothes all covered in oil and rice. It was the first time for me to try to cook a dish. My best friend Lily had promised to help, but she’d texted that evening about a family emergency. Now I was alone, facing the ultimate challenge: cooking fried rice for our weekend dinner. To make matters worse, I’d always been nervous around the stove, afraid that the oil might catch fire. Although I had learned basic kitchen safety at school, facing a real pan felt entirely different for me. What my father said yesterday echoed in my ears, “Remember, son, cooking is just like an experiment in mixing chemical ingredients you can eat!” It was easy for him to say — he was a chemistry professor who could somehow burn water. However, my mom, a Chinese language teacher, often created culinary magic in the kitchen. She made it effortlessly, dancing between the stove and chopping board like some kind of culinary ballet dancer. “The key is preparation and patience,” she once told me. “And always taste as you go.” But today was my turn to surprise them both. I fired up the pan again, watching the oil shine like liquid gold. The onions hit the pan with a satisfying sound, and I felt a sense of confidence. Then Lily made a video call. Seeing my face, she laughed, “Ha-ha, you are just like a little cat.” Then she reminded me, “Don’t forget to use the rice cooked yesterday so it’s dry enough!” My heart sank. Yesterday? I’d been so focused on the protein and vegetables that I’d completely overlooked the most basic ingredient. The rice I’d cooked this morning was still warm and sticky, completely wrong for fried rice. No wonder the first attempt at making fried rice ended in failure. I felt very panicked as I stared at the white “mound (土墩)”, imagining my parents’ disappointed faces. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Then I thought of my mother’s recipe book. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a small flame even jumped from the pan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
