Frank Rothwell dedicated the extreme feat to his brother-in-law Roger, who died of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) during Frank’s crossing. Requiring 18 months of hard training, the entire trip took eight grueling (艰辛的) weeks for Rothwell to travel from La Gomera in the Canary Islands on December 12 to the finish line 3000 miles away in Antigua on February 6. “I like a challenge!” explains Frank on his fundraising site. “In 2017, I spent five weeks on a deserted island for the Channel 4 program, the Island with Bear Grylls. Before that, I was only the 10th person ever to circumnavigate North and South America.” In a statement, Hilary Evans, chief executive of Alzheimer’s Research UK, said, “We’re honored to have such amazing support from Frank. His courage and determination helped him to complete his epic challenge and raise £1 million for dementia (痴呆) research.” “This incredible amount will be a huge benefit to the groundbreaking research we carry out here at Alzheimer’s Research UK, as we continue our mission to bring about life-changing treatments for people affected by dementia,” added Evans. Crossing the finish line was an emotional moment for Rothwell. He said, “I am on cloud nine! I set out in December wishing to raise £1 million for Alzheimer’s Research UK but I never thought I’d actually achieve it. At times, the challenge was incredibly tough, with rough seas, huge waves, and missing my wife, Judith. But as exhausting as it was, it was all totally worth it.” He also said, “Having received hundreds of messages from people who, like me, have witnessed the heartbreak of dementia, I am proud to have raised such an incredible amount in honor of Roger and everyone else who has experienced the destruction it causes.” 4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Fame. B. Career. C. Pressure. D. Achievement. 5. What words best describe Rothwell? A. Generous and wise. B. Humorous and patient. C. Courageous and helpful. D. Optimistic and cautious. 6. What can we learn about Rothwell from his words? A. He finished the whole voyage smoothly. B. He had mixed feelings after the challenge. C. He received many messages from Alzheimer’s. D. He was proud to raise the money for his brother-in-law Roger. 7. What could be the best title of this text? A. People’s Efforts to battle with Dementia. B. Old Man’s Sea Crossing for Alzheimer’s. C. A Special Campaign for the Poor’s support. D. A Great Voyage in Honor of Medical Success. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述70岁老人横渡大西洋的故事。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。 根据画线词上文“A 70-year-old grandfather has successfully rowed a boat unassisted across the entire Atlantic Ocean — and he didn’t do it for himself.(一位70岁的老爷爷成功地在无人帮助的情况下划着小船横渡了整个大西洋——而且他并不是为自己而做的。)”可知，Frank Rothwell在无人帮助的情况下成功地划船横渡了整个大西洋。结合文章最后一段中的“I am proud to have raised such an incredible amount in honor of Roger(我很自豪能为罗杰筹到这么多钱)”可知，Rothwell以被阿尔茨海默病夺去生命的Roger和其他人的名义去横渡大西洋，并因此筹到了大量善款，由此推知，这里指他将这一了不起的“成就”献给了因阿尔茨海默症去世的Roger，feat意为“成就”。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“His courage and determination helped him to complete his epic challenge and raise £1 million for dementia (痴呆) research.(他的勇气和决心帮助他完成了史诗般的挑战，并为痴呆症研究筹集了100万英镑。)”可知， Rothwell为了这次的成功，经过了长期的艰苦训练，并且他热爱挑战，由此可以看出他勇气过人乐于助人。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Crossing the finish line was an emotional moment for Rothwell. He said, “I am on cloud nine! I set out in December wishing to raise £1 million for Alzheimer’s Research UK but I never thought I’d actually achieve it. At times, the challenge was incredibly tough, with rough seas, huge waves, and missing my wife, Judith. But as exhausting as it was, it was all totally worth it.”(冲过终点线对罗斯威尔来说是一个激动的时刻。他说：“我高兴极了！去年12月，我开始希望为英国阿尔茨海默氏症研究中心筹集100万英镑，但我从未想过我真的能实现这一目标。有时，挑战是难以置信的艰难，伴随着汹涌的大海，巨大的海浪，我想念我的妻子朱迪思。尽管很累，但这一切都是值得的”)”可知，Rothwell对这次挑战有着复杂的情感。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章介绍了70岁的弗兰克·罗斯韦尔成功划船横渡大西洋，为阿尔茨海默症的研究筹集100万英镑，体现了老人为阿尔茨海默症患者的努力。故适合的标题为“老人为了阿尔茨海默症横渡大海”。故选B。 C For centuries, Garifuna (加里富纳的) people, also known as Garinagu in their native language, have kept the culture’s oral history alive through their ancestors’ native language. But decades of modernization, casual native-language training in Garifuna schools, intermarriage between cultures, and the lack of consideration of language transmission by young people, collectively led to Garifuna being listed on the UNESCO Atlas of Endangered Languages in 2001. The threat of language extinction isn’t new. Some linguists estimate a language dies every two weeks. But there are ways to save at-risk languages as well. The key is that the language needs to be thought of less as preserved, but indeed part of their present and future. “Modern Garifuna people need the actual language to grasp their ancestors’ past. Without language, culture will never be whole. If you’re losing your language, you’re losing your roots, which will destroy all the ancestors have worked on,” Alvin Laredo, a Garifuna tour guide, says. Elements of the Garifuna culture include music, dance and language. In 2001, Garifuna musicians and cultural activists created a plan: Create irresistible songs sung entirely in Garifuna to call on young Garinagu to accept the culture and learn the language. Palacio, a leader in the cultural renaissance, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form the Garifuna Collective band in 2007. Multiple world performances and international music awards later, the band put Garifuna on the international map and lit a cultural flame for Garifuna worldwide. Another set of musicians was inspired by Palacio’s message. They helped elementary and high schools in Belize teach the Garifuna culture and language through music. The Garifuna language revival does have a new and welcome boost (推动力): Belize’s Garifuna Tourism Trail, which formally launched in March 2022. Of course, tourism alone won’t save a language, but tourism can provide one effective language-retention (语言保持) motivation: income. More economic opportunities and pride in their cultural identity could help motivate young Garinagu to continue learning the language. Will music save the Garifuna language? Time will tell. This kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road. 8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To stress the importance of conserving languages. B. To explain the reasons for Garifuna being endangered. C. To encourage people to speak their native languages. D. To prove the influence of modernization on languages. 9. What is crucial for the survival of the Garifuna language? A. Integrating it into people’s daily lives. B. Focusing only on teaching it in schools. C. Relying on the efforts of linguists to save it. D. Considering it as something to be preserved. 10. What did the Garifuna Collective band do? A. They adapted historical stories for popular songs. B. They taught local students Garifuna through music. C. They set up a musical club to promote Garifuna music. D. They spread Garifuna culture to the world by their performances. 11. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. Tourism is a major source of local income. B. Language can help people shape the cultural identity. C. Revival efforts ensure the language’s survival in years. D Economy plays a supportive role in language development. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了加里富纳语被列入联合国教科文组织濒危语言及人们是如何拯救这门语言的。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“But decades of modernization, casual native-language training in Garifuna schools, intermarriage between cultures, and the lack of consideration of language transmission by young people, collectively led to Garifuna being listed on the UNESCO Atlas of Endangered Languages in 2001. (但几十年的现代化、加里富纳学校随意的母语培训、文化间的通婚以及年轻人对语言传播的忽视，共同导致加里富纳语于2001年被列入联合国教科文组织濒危语言之一。)”可知，第一段告诉我们加里富纳语成为濒危语言的原因，例如加里富纳学校随意的母语培训以及年轻人对语言传播的忽视等，由此可知，第一段的目的是解释加里富纳语濒危的原因。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“But there are ways to save at-risk languages as well. The key is that the language needs to be thought of less as preserved, but indeed part of their present and future. (但也有办法拯救有风险的语言。关键在于，语言不应被视为是被保留的，而应视为是其现在和未来的一部分。)”可知，拯救有风险的语言的关键在于把其视为现在和未来的一部分，即融入到我们现在和未来的生活中，由此可知，对加里富纳语的生存至关重要的是把它融入到人们的日常生活中。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Palacio, a leader in the cultural renaissance, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form the Garifuna Collective band in 2007. Multiple world performances and international music awards later, the band put Garifuna on the international map and lit a cultural flame for Garifuna worldwide. (Palacio是文化复兴的领导者，于2007年召集了中美洲各地的加里富纳音乐家组成加里富纳集体乐队。在多次世界演出和国际音乐奖项之后，乐队将加里富纳语推向了国际舞台，为加里富纳在全球点燃了文化之火。)”可知，加里富纳集体乐队通过表演将加里富纳语推向了国际舞台，在全球点燃了文化之火，由此可知，加里富纳集体乐队通过表演向世界传播加里富纳文化。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“More economic opportunities and pride in their cultural identity could help motivate young Garinagu to continue learning the language. (更多的经济机会和对自己文化身份的自豪感可以帮助激励年轻的加里富纳人继续学习这门语言。)”可知，更多的经济机会可以帮助激励年轻的加里富纳人继续学习这门语言，由此可知，我们可以从第4段推断出经济在语言发展中起着支持作用。故选D项。 D For the first time, scientists have observed the brain throughout the pregnancy (怀孕) timeline. Sex hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, are powerful players in the brain, affecting mood, memory, and more. Some of the most dramatic hormonal changes that humans experience happen during pregnancy, and yet those nine months have been a black box for human neuroscience until now. A new study published this week in Nature Neuroscience provides the most extensive look inside that black box yet. Researchers scanned the brain of one woman 26 times over the entire course of her pregnancy — before, during and after. Brain scans show that tracks of white matter get stronger during pregnancy. Previous brain imaging studies from before and after pregnancy have shown that pregnancy shrinks (缩小) parts of the brain, specifically its gray matter. These outer layers of the brain are responsible for most of sensation, learning and other great things the brain does. Shrinking gray matter may sound scary, but it happens to all of us throughout development to fine-tune our neural processing and make our brains more efficient. Though the term “mommy brain” is often used to refer to the brain fog and forgetfulness some people feel during pregnancy, the brain changes are likely adaptive. For example, you may be forgetting where your keys are, but you are way more focused on what is happening to your baby. Researchers are particularly interested in changes within brain regions that help with social cognition by allowing us to take on others’ perspectives. The scale and pattern of brain changes during pregnancy are similar to what other researchers have seen in adolescent brains during puberty (青春期), also driven by hormones. Other researchers have been able to detect whether someone had been pregnant based only on neuro imaging data from decades later. So despite the common saying that our brains stop developing in our mid-20s, hormones seem to drive big, long-lasting changes throughout adulthood. From studying the woman’s brain, researchers confirmed gray matter decreased by four percent over the course of pregnancy and that decrease persisted throughout the end of the study two years after giving birth. And it wasn't just one area or network — 80% of brain regions shrunk. While certain areas and networks changed faster than others, the team doesn’t yet know what the implications are. 12. The passage mainly tells us ________. A. how pregnancy impacts women’s memory B. how brain scans lead to a breakthrough C. how puberty differs from pregnancy D. how brain changes during pregnancy 13. Based on the research, a pregnant woman should ________ changes accompanying “mommy brain”? A. peacefully accept B. consciously avoid C. completely ignore D. eagerly expect 14. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that ________. A. researchers have figured out why certain areas of brain change faster B. despite similarity, brain changes in puberty aren’t driven by hormones C. hormones are likely to cause brain changes beyond adolescence D. the shrinkage of gray matter in brain stops shortly after child birth 15. What is the structure of this passage? A. Presenting a finding → Explaining → Relating with other findings B. Introducing a topic → Providing examples → Summarizing the main points C. Stating a problem → Proposing solutions → Evaluating the solutions D. Describing a phenomenon → Analyzing the causes → Predicting the future trends 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了怀孕期间大脑的变化。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“For the first time, scientists have observed the brain throughout the pregnancy (怀孕) timeline.(科学家们首次在整个怀孕时间线上观察了大脑)”、第二段“Previous brain imaging studies from before and after pregnancy have shown that pregnancy shrinks (缩小) parts of the brain, specifically its gray matter. These outer layers of the brain are responsible for most of sensation, learning and other great things the brain does.(之前对怀孕前后的脑成像研究表明，怀孕会缩小大脑的某些部位，特别是灰质。大脑的这些外层负责大脑的大部分感觉、学习和其他伟大的事情)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了怀孕期间大脑的变化。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Though the term “mommy brain” is often used to refer to the brain fog and forgetfulness some people feel during pregnancy, the brain changes are likely adaptive.(尽管“妈咪大脑”一词通常用来指一些人在怀孕期间感到的脑雾和健忘，但大脑的变化可能是适应性的)”可知，大脑的变化可能是适应性的。由此推知，孕妇应该平静地接受大脑的这种变化。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The scale and pattern of brain changes during pregnancy are similar to what other researchers have seen in adolescent brains during puberty (青春期) , also driven by hormones. (怀孕期间大脑变化的规模和模式与其他研究人员在青春期青少年大脑中观察到的相似，也是由荷尔蒙驱动的)”可知，与怀孕期间的大脑变化相似，荷尔蒙也可能会导致青春期后的大脑变化。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Some of the most dramatic hormonal changes that humans experience happen during pregnancy, and yet those nine months have been a black box for human neuroscience until now.(人类经历的一些最剧烈的荷尔蒙变化发生在怀孕期间，但到目前为止，这九个月一直是人类神经科学的黑匣子)”、第二段“A new study published this week in Nature Neuroscience provides the most extensive look inside that black box yet. Researchers scanned the brain of one woman 26 times over the entire course of her pregnancy - before, during and after. Brain scans show that tracks of white matter get stronger during pregnancy. Previous brain imaging studies from before and after pregnancy have shown that pregnancy shrinks parts of the brain, specifically its gray matter. These outer layers of the brain are responsible for most of sensation, learning and other great things the brain does. (本周发表在《自然神经科学》上的一项新研究提供了迄今为止最全面的黑盒子内部观察。研究人员在一名女性怀孕的整个过程中对其大脑进行了26次扫描，包括怀孕前、怀孕中和怀孕后。脑部扫描显示，白质的轨迹在怀孕期间会变得更强。之前对怀孕前后的脑成像研究表明，怀孕会缩小大脑的某些部位，特别是灰质。大脑的这些外层负责大脑的大部分感觉、学习和其他伟大的事情)”、倒数第二段“The scale and pattern of brain changes during pregnancy are similar to what other researchers have seen in adolescent brains during puberty (青春期) , also driven by hormones. (怀孕期间大脑变化的规模和模式与其他研究人员在青春期青少年大脑中观察到的相似，也是由荷尔蒙驱动的)”可知，文章先介绍了大脑变化的研究发现，然后进行详细解释，并与其他研究发现进行相关联。故选A。 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。 Parents who are always showing off their children are called sharents, whose behavior has long been popular on social media.

To realize this vision, we could seek donations from alumni and local businesses. Besides, teachers could integrate creative projects into the curriculum, making innovation a part of everyday learning. Additionally, we could establish a student innovation club to organize regular workshops and competitions, further engaging students in creative activities. With the vision and measures above, I firmly believe that we can cultivate a generation of innovators ready to tackle future challenges. Possible version 2: Technological Innovation for Future School Envisioning a future where education is as unique as a fingerprint, I propose the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create personalized learning plans for students. This approach will tailor educational content to individual needs, strengths, and weaknesses, fostering a more effective learning environment. To achieve this, schools can implement AI-driven platforms that analyze student performance in real-time. These platforms will adapt lessons based on each student’s progress, offering additional resources for challenging topics and skipping over those already mastered. Teachers will act as facilitators, guiding students through their personalized curriculum. By leveraging AI, we can transform education into a more inclusive and dynamic process. This not only optimizes learning outcomes but also empowers students to take charge of their educational journey. Possible version 3: Technological Innovation for Future School In envisioning the future of education, I propose the integration of virtual reality (VR) technology into the classroom. This innovation will revolutionize traditional teaching methods by providing immersive learning experiences that cater to various learning styles. To actualize this vision, schools can collaborate with tech companies to develop VR educational software tailored to different subjects. Teachers will be trained to facilitate VR lessons, ensuring a seamless blend of technology and teaching. Additionally, schools should invest in VR equipment for each student, promoting equal access to this novel learning platform. By allowing students to virtually explore historical events or conduct scientific experiments, education will become more interactive and memorable. This approach not only prepares students for the tech-driven world ahead but also fosters a lifelong passion for learning. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。考生所在校英文报近期将进行“科技与未来学校(Technological Innovation for Future School)”的专栏征稿，请考生写一篇英文短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 激励：inspire→motivate 建立：establish→set up 比赛：competition→match 培养：cultivate→foster 2.句式拓展 同义句 原句： Besides, teachers could integrate creative projects into the curriculum, making innovation a part of everyday learning. 拓展句：Besides, teachers could integrate creative projects into the curriculum, which makes innovation a part of everyday learning. 【点睛】[高分句型1] I envision a future school powered by innovation, where every corner inspires creativity, with workshops equipped with 3D printers and robotics kits, and art studios filled with paints and canvases.

My uncle had come from his home in another providence to stay with us for a few days during the school holidays. He was a teacher and liked to get out of town during this time. Upon hearing that I was learning how to drive, he was nothing short of excited. “Let’s do some practicing in the driveway now!” he exclaimed. I was shocked; my parents wouldn’t even let me do this. Ever since I had started learning one month ago, they only allowed me to practice in the driving school’s car as driving school. But my parents weren’t home, they were at work. And I did want to get some more practice under my belt, so with a soft “OK,” I went over to the dresser to grab the car keys. As I sat in the driver’s seat, the familiar but still nerve-wracking feeling of being behind the wheel crept over (渐渐袭来) me. I started the engine, my hands trembling slightly as I gripped the steering wheel. “How am I doing?” I asked nervously, just after I had a near miss with the mailbox. “You’re doing fine!” my uncle said, to my surprise. “I can tell you’re nervous, but your main problem is you’re not confident” I glanced at him, a bit taken aback by his insight. He continued, “I can see this because I was like you once before. My parents were too overprotective of me. They didn’t think I could do many things, so they sheltered me. Once I grew up and went out into the big wide world, I felt like I wasn’t as capable as those around me. I don’t want you to feel that either! Have you ever talked about this with your parents?” he asked. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 At that very moment, my dad arrived home, a deep frown appearing across his face. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One week later, I was behind the wheel again in our driveway, but this time it wasn’t my uncle in the passenger seat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 At that very moment, my dad arrived home, a deep frown appearing across his face. He immediately noticed me behind the wheel and his expression turned even more serious. “What’s going on here?” he asked, clearly upset. My uncle quickly explained the situation, and assured my father that I was doing well. Dad looked at me, his eyes filled with concern. “Are you okay?” his tone was softer than before. I nodded, feeling a mix of emotions - nervousness, excitement, and a little guilt. After a short conversation with my uncle, Dad agreed to let me continue practicing, but under strict instructions. One week later, I was behind the wheel again in our driveway, but this time it wasn’t my uncle in the passenger seat. Instead, it was my father. His presence made me feel both supported and a bit more anxious. However, his calm and encouraging words helped ease my tension. “Take it slow,” he advised, “and remember what you’ve learned.” With each attempt, I grew more confident, and my father felt proud of me. That day marked a turning point in my relationship with my father, as he showed me his support and belief in my abilities. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者在叔叔鼓励下尝试家中练车的故事。叔叔提议并鼓励作者，虽作者初时紧张，但叔叔的肯定与分享自身经历让作者受鼓舞。最后，叔叔建议作者与父母沟通，以获更多支持。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那一刻，我爸爸回到家，他的脸上出现了深深的皱眉。”可知，第一段可描写爸爸发现作者开车后的反应以及叔叔和他谈过后，允许作者开车 ②由第二段首句内容“一个星期后，我又在我们家的车道上开车了，但这次坐在副驾驶座上的不是我叔叔。”可知，第二段可描写父亲支持作者开车以及改善关系。 2. 续写线索：爸爸发现作者开车——叔叔解释情况——同意继续练习——爸爸开始帮助练习——改善关系——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/spot ②保证：assure/guarantee ③建议：advise/suggest 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/anxiety ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1]My uncle quickly explained the situation, and assured my father that I was doing well.(that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]That day marked a turning point in my relationship with my father, as he showed me his support and belief in my abilities.(as引导的原因状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届高三年级检测 英语试卷 第一部分 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，从给每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A That your parents are footing the bill right now doesn’t mean you’re living free of expense.

Frank Rothwell dedicated the extreme feat to his brother-in-law Roger, who died of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) during Frank’s crossing. Requiring 18 months of hard training, the entire trip took eight grueling (艰辛的) weeks for Rothwell to travel from La Gomera in the Canary Islands on December 12 to the finish line 3000 miles away in Antigua on February 6. “I like a challenge!” explains Frank on his fundraising site. “In 2017, I spent five weeks on a deserted island for the Channel 4 program, the Island with Bear Grylls. Before that, I was only the 10th person ever to circumnavigate North and South America.” In a statement, Hilary Evans, chief executive of Alzheimer’s Research UK, said, “We’re honored to have such amazing support from Frank. His courage and determination helped him to complete his epic challenge and raise £1 million for dementia (痴呆) research.” “This incredible amount will be a huge benefit to the groundbreaking research we carry out here at Alzheimer’s Research UK, as we continue our mission to bring about life-changing treatments for people affected by dementia,” added Evans. Crossing the finish line was an emotional moment for Rothwell. He said, “I am on cloud nine! I set out in December wishing to raise £1 million for Alzheimer’s Research UK but I never thought I’d actually achieve it. At times, the challenge was incredibly tough, with rough seas, huge waves, and missing my wife, Judith. But as exhausting as it was, it was all totally worth it.” He also said, “Having received hundreds of messages from people who, like me, have witnessed the heartbreak of dementia, I am proud to have raised such an incredible amount in honor of Roger and everyone else who has experienced the destruction it causes.” 4.

C For centuries, Garifuna (加里富纳的) people, also known as Garinagu in their native language, have kept the culture’s oral history alive through their ancestors’ native language. But decades of modernization, casual native-language training in Garifuna schools, intermarriage between cultures, and the lack of consideration of language transmission by young people, collectively led to Garifuna being listed on the UNESCO Atlas of Endangered Languages in 2001. The threat of language extinction isn’t new. Some linguists estimate a language dies every two weeks. But there are ways to save at-risk languages as well. The key is that the language needs to be thought of less as preserved, but indeed part of their present and future. “Modern Garifuna people need the actual language to grasp their ancestors’ past. Without language, culture will never be whole. If you’re losing your language, you’re losing your roots, which will destroy all the ancestors have worked on,” Alvin Laredo, a Garifuna tour guide, says. Elements of the Garifuna culture include music, dance and language. In 2001, Garifuna musicians and cultural activists created a plan: Create irresistible songs sung entirely in Garifuna to call on young Garinagu to accept the culture and learn the language. Palacio, a leader in the cultural renaissance, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form the Garifuna Collective band in 2007. Multiple world performances and international music awards later, the band put Garifuna on the international map and lit a cultural flame for Garifuna worldwide. Another set of musicians was inspired by Palacio’s message. They helped elementary and high schools in Belize teach the Garifuna culture and language through music. The Garifuna language revival does have a new and welcome boost (推动力): Belize’s Garifuna Tourism Trail, which formally launched in March 2022. Of course, tourism alone won’t save a language, but tourism can provide one effective language-retention (语言保持) motivation: income. More economic opportunities and pride in their cultural identity could help motivate young Garinagu to continue learning the language. Will music save the Garifuna language? Time will tell. This kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road. 8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To stress the importance of conserving languages. B. To explain the reasons for Garifuna being endangered. C. To encourage people to speak their native languages. D. To prove the influence of modernization on languages. 9 What is crucial for the survival of the Garifuna language? A. Integrating it into people’s daily lives. B. Focusing only on teaching it in schools. C. Relying on the efforts of linguists to save it. D. Considering it as something to be preserved. 10. What did the Garifuna Collective band do? A. They adapted historical stories for popular songs. B. They taught local students Garifuna through music. C. They set up a musical club to promote Garifuna music. D. They spread Garifuna culture to the world by their performances. 11. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. Tourism is a major source of local income. B. Language can help people shape the cultural identity. C. Revival efforts ensure the language’s survival in years. D. Economy plays a supportive role in language development. D For the first time, scientists have observed the brain throughout the pregnancy (怀孕) timeline. Sex hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, are powerful players in the brain, affecting mood, memory, and more. Some of the most dramatic hormonal changes that humans experience happen during pregnancy, and yet those nine months have been a black box for human neuroscience until now. A new study published this week in Nature Neuroscience provides the most extensive look inside that black box yet. Researchers scanned the brain of one woman 26 times over the entire course of her pregnancy — before, during and after. Brain scans show that tracks of white matter get stronger during pregnancy. Previous brain imaging studies from before and after pregnancy have shown that pregnancy shrinks (缩小) parts of the brain, specifically its gray matter. These outer layers of the brain are responsible for most of sensation, learning and other great things the brain does. Shrinking gray matter may sound scary, but it happens to all of us throughout development to fine-tune our neural processing and make our brains more efficient. Though the term “mommy brain” is often used to refer to the brain fog and forgetfulness some people feel during pregnancy, the brain changes are likely adaptive. For example, you may be forgetting where your keys are, but you are way more focused on what is happening to your baby. Researchers are particularly interested in changes within brain regions that help with social cognition by allowing us to take on others’ perspectives. The scale and pattern of brain changes during pregnancy are similar to what other researchers have seen in adolescent brains during puberty (青春期), also driven by hormones. Other researchers have been able to detect whether someone had been pregnant based only on neuro imaging data from decades later. So despite the common saying that our brains stop developing in our mid-20s, hormones seem to drive big, long-lasting changes throughout adulthood. From studying the woman’s brain, researchers confirmed gray matter decreased by four percent over the course of pregnancy and that decrease persisted throughout the end of the study two years after giving birth. And it wasn't just one area or network — 80% of brain regions shrunk. While certain areas and networks changed faster than others, the team doesn’t yet know what the implications are. 12. The passage mainly tells us ________. A. how pregnancy impacts women’s memory B. how brain scans lead to a breakthrough C. how puberty differs from pregnancy D. how brain changes during pregnancy 13. Based on the research, a pregnant woman should ________ changes accompanying “mommy brain”? A. peacefully accept B. consciously avoid C. completely ignore D. eagerly expect 14. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that ________. A. researchers have figured out why certain areas of brain change faster B. despite similarity, brain changes in puberty aren’t driven by hormones C. hormones are likely to cause brain changes beyond adolescence D. the shrinkage of gray matter in brain stops shortly after child birth 15. What is the structure of this passage? A. Presenting a finding → Explaining → Relating with other findings B. Introducing a topic → Providing examples → Summarizing the main points C. Stating a problem → Proposing solutions → Evaluating the solutions D. Describing a phenomenon → Analyzing the causes → Predicting the future trends 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。 Parents who are always showing off their children are called sharents, whose behavior has long been popular on social media.

My uncle had come from his home in another providence to stay with us for a few days during the school holidays. He was a teacher and liked to get out of town during this time. Upon hearing that I was learning how to drive, he was nothing short of excited. “Let’s do some practicing in the driveway now!” he exclaimed. I was shocked; my parents wouldn’t even let me do this. Ever since I had started learning one month ago, they only allowed me to practice in the driving school’s car as driving school. But my parents weren’t home, they were at work. And I did want to get some more practice under my belt, so with a soft “OK,” I went over to the dresser to grab the car keys. As I sat in the driver’s seat, the familiar but still nerve-wracking feeling of being behind the wheel crept over (渐渐袭来) me. I started the engine, my hands trembling slightly as I gripped the steering wheel. “How am I doing?” I asked nervously, just after I had a near miss with the mailbox. “You’re doing fine!” my uncle said, to my surprise. “I can tell you’re nervous, but your main problem is you’re not confident” I glanced at him, a bit taken aback by his insight. He continued, “I can see this because I was like you once before. My parents were too overprotective of me. They didn’t think I could do many things, so they sheltered me. Once I grew up and went out into the big wide world, I felt like I wasn’t as capable as those around me. I don’t want you to feel that either! Have you ever talked about this with your parents?” he asked. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 At that very moment, my dad arrived home, a deep frown appearing across his face. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One week later, I was behind the wheel again in our driveway, but this time it wasn’t my uncle in the passenger seat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
