Macon Macon is a town full of history and music, with a mix of Southern charm (魅力) and modern culture. It’s known as “the city where soul (灵魂) lives”, and that’s true because it’s where both Little Richard, the “Architect of Rock and Roll”, and Otis Redding, the “King of Soul”, grew up.

She was sorting old photos and childhood toys when her hand touched the cool wood, and the familiar shape brought a big smile. The guitar’s wooden body was grey, and its strings (弦) were broken, but it brought back a flood of warm old stories. When Lena was 7, her father often taught her to play the guitar by their lakeside house. One summer evening, he asked her to play Happy Birthday for her little brother Max. Max laughed and cheered even when she messed up notes. “Music makes every moment special,” Dad would say, smiling as Lena struggled with the music notes. Neighbors passed by to listen and sang along, while her dog Buddy moved his tail happily and touched her hand softly. That year, her father gave her the guitar as a New Year gift, telling her to record moments with the family by using music. Lena spent hours practicing every day under the big tree in the park near her home, her dog Buddy lying at her feet. Now, so many years later, Lena softly cleaned the guitar. She replaced the strings and tried to play the old song — her fingers hurt a little, but the song felt like a hug from the past. Though her fingers were not as quick as before and her voice was a bit shaky, the same happiness filled her heart. Looking in the mirror, she saw grey hair, but her eyes shone just like they did by the lake. “Some things never change,” Lena said softly, touching the guitar’s old neck. She missed her father, but the guitar made her feel close. The guitar looks old, but in her mind, she was still that 7-year-old girl, laughing under the sunset with her family. Age may make us look older, but the music in our hearts remains as young as ever. 4. What made Lena think of the old stories? A. Her dog Buddy. B. The discovered guitar. C. The lakeside house. D. The old photos. 5. Why did Lena’s father teach her to play the guitar? A. To gift her on New Year. B. To value family time. C. To spread music to neighbors. D. To celebrate Max’s birthday. 6. How did Lena feel when playing the old song years later? A. Sad. B. Proud. C. Regretful. D. Joyful. 7. What does the text want to tell us? A. Old things need care. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Music keeps us young at heart. D. Music comes from daily life. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了62岁的莉娜在阁楼发现了一把旧吉他，这把吉他让她回忆起童年与父亲和家人共度的美好时光，多年后再次弹奏时，她依然感到快乐，文章告诉我们音乐让我们的内心保持年轻。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The guitar’s wooden body was grey, and its strings (弦) were broken, but it brought back a flood of warm old stories.(吉他的木质琴身是灰色的，琴弦也断了，但它唤起了一连串温暖的往事)”可知，是发现的吉他让莉娜想起了过去的故事。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““Music makes every moment special,” Dad would say, smiling as Lena struggled with the music notes.(“音乐能让每个瞬间都变得特别，”每当莉娜费力地识谱时，父亲总会微笑着说)”和“That year, her father gave her the guitar as a New Year gift, telling her to record moments with the family by using music.(那一年，父亲把吉他作为新年礼物送给了她，告诉她要用音乐记录与家人在一起的时刻)”可推知，莉娜的父亲教她弹吉他，是为了让她记录与家人在一起的时刻，珍惜和家人在一起的时光。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“She replaced the strings and tried to play the old song — her fingers hurt a little, but the song felt like a hug from the past. Though her fingers were not as quick as before and her voice was a bit shaky, the same happiness filled her heart.(她换上琴弦，试着弹奏那首老歌——她的手指有点疼，但这首歌感觉就像来自过去的拥抱。虽然她的手指没有以前那么灵活，声音也有点颤抖，但同样的快乐充满了她的心)”可知，多年后莉娜弹奏那首老歌时感到快乐。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“Age may make us look older, but the music in our hearts remains as young as ever.(年龄可能会让我们看起来变老，但我们心中的音乐却永远年轻)”可知，文章主要讲述了62岁的莉娜在阁楼发现了一把旧吉他，这把吉他让她回忆起童年与父亲和家人共度的美好时光，多年后再次弹奏时，她依然感到快乐。由此可知，文章想要告诉我们音乐让我们的内心保持年轻。故选C项。 C Listening to music daily after the age of 70 could greatly lower the risk of developing a brain disease like dementia. A major study from Monash University discovered this by analyzing data from over 10,800 older adults. Those who often listened to music had a much lower chance of suffering from severe memory problems compared to those who seldom did. The research also explored the benefits of playing musical instruments, finding that people who played regularly also saw a significant drop in their risk. The most powerful effects were seen in people who always listened to music. This group not only had a lower risk of the brain disease but also showed better overall thinking abilities and a stronger memory for daily events. Combining both listening and playing music offered even greater protection against mental decline. Researchers suggest that music could be a simple and effective way for older people to maintain their mental health. This finding is especially important as societies around the world face the challenges of an aging population. With people living longer, conditions that affect memory and thinking are becoming more common, creating pressure on families and healthcare systems. Therefore, finding easy-to-use methods to support brain health is a public health priority. According to the lead scientist, with no known cure for such brain diseases, finding ways to prevent or delay them is extremely important. The study adds to evidence that our brain’s health is not fixed. It can be influenced by our personal choices and environment. Thus, activities like listening to or playing music may be powerful lifestyle tools to promote a healthy mind as we age. 8. What benefit did regular music listeners show? A. They never got sick. B. They lived longer than others. C. They all learned to play instruments. D. They had better memory of daily events. 9. Why is music considered a good method for brain health? A. It is a new scientific discovery. B. It is more popular than other activities. C. It is easy for most older people to access. D. It can replace all other medical treatments. 10. What is the key message of the research? A. Brain health is only decided by age and genes. B. Older adults should avoid all social activities. C. Only listening to music is helpful for the mind. D. Lifestyle choices can influence our brain’s aging process. 11. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A New Cure for Brain Diseases B. The Challenges of an Aging Population C. Music: A Simple Way to Protect the Aging Brain D. How to Play a Musical Instrument 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究表明70岁后每天听音乐可降低患痴呆症等脑部疾病的风险，听音乐和演奏音乐对大脑健康有益。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The most powerful effects were seen in people who always listened to music. This group not only had a lower risk of the brain disease but also showed better overall thinking abilities and a stronger memory for daily events.(在经常听音乐的人身上看到了最强大的效果。这群人不仅患脑部疾病的风险较低，而且整体思维能力也更好，对日常事件的记忆力也更强。)”可知，经常听音乐的人对日常事件的记忆力更好。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Therefore, finding easy-to-use methods to support brain health is a public health priority.(因此，寻找易于使用的方法来支持大脑健康是公共卫生的首要任务。)”以及第四段“Thus, activities like listening to or playing music may be powerful lifestyle tools to promote a healthy mind as we age.(因此，像听音乐或演奏音乐这样的活动可能是促进我们随着年龄增长而保持健康心态的有力生活方式工具。)”可知，音乐被认为是促进大脑健康的好方法是因为它对大多数老年人来说很容易接触。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The study adds to evidence that our brain’s health is not fixed. It can be influenced by our personal choices and environment.(这项研究进一步证明，我们的大脑健康并不是固定不变的。它可以受到我们个人选择和环境的影响。)”可知，这项研究的关键信息是生活方式的选择可以影响我们大脑的衰老过程。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Listening to music daily after the age of 70 could greatly lower the risk of developing a brain disease like dementia.(70岁以后每天听音乐可以大大降低患痴呆症等脑部疾病的风险。)”可知，文章主要讲述了一项研究，研究表明70岁后每天听音乐可降低患痴呆症等脑部疾病的风险，听音乐和演奏音乐对大脑健康有益。因此，C选项“Music: A Simple Way to Protect the Aging Brain(音乐：保护衰老大脑的简单方法)”最符合文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选C。 D Heritages are unique and precious characteristics of a society that are passed down through generations. Without particular efforts, many of these become lost in time. Africa is a continent with rich cultural heritage. Traditions like folk tales and dances by the moonlight, poem and other unique activities make up a large part of cultural heritage in Africa. Uganda’s Ekyogero traditional herbal (药草) bath is a famous tradition. It is a bath for newborn babies that is popular in many communities in Uganda. According to the culture, it makes the child strong and physically healthy. It is a herbal bath that is used to wash the baby and give it smooth skin. It is believed to bring good luck to the newborn and drive away curses (诅咒). It is also believed that modern medicine does not have answers for every condition. In fact, a lot of modern medical treatments are based on traditional applications of herbs. One unique thing about the Wodaabe people of Niger is the Guerewol competition. It is an annual marriage competition that has young men dancing and singing while dressed up with decorations and painted faces. As they dance and sing, they pat their eyes and show off their teeth to look more attractive. They intend to have one of the young girls of marriageable age fall in love with them and their skills. Among the Maasai people of Kenya and Northern Tanzania spitting is a sign of respect and honor. It is also seen as a form of positive greeting. If one spits on one’s hands, which are then used to shake someone’s hand, it means a friendly greeting. When done on a single person, especially a baby, it means blessings (祝福). Also, when a father spits on his daughter on her wedding day, it means wishes and blessings for a beautiful home. Today, most of the world is returning to its traditional ways or ideas. If countries like China, India, and Japan, who have long followed their traditional culture are doing well now, then Africa can do so too. It is time for Africans to get back to their roots by remembering and rebuilding their traditions. By taking part in a return to traditions, Africans will rebuild their diversity (多样性) of cultural heritage. 12. What do we know about the Ekyogero herbal bath? A. It offers physical and spiritual benefits. B. It is a modern baby care practice. C. It becomes unpopular in modern times. D. It’s a practice in the countryside of Uganda. 13. Why do young men dance and sing in the Guerewol competition? A. To make marriage funds. B. To attract young girls. C. To celebrate the spring. D. To display their costume. 14. How does a Maasai father express blessings to his wedding daughter? A. By shaking her hand. B. By patting her eyes. C. By showing off his teeth. D. By spitting on his daughter. 15. What is the writer’s attitude towards Africa’s recovering its heritage? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Worried. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。非洲是一个拥有丰富文化遗产的大陆。文章主要介绍了非洲的一些文化传统，作者认为非洲人将重建他们文化遗产的多样性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to the culture, it makes the child strong and physically healthy. It is a herbal bath that is used to wash the baby and give it smooth skin. It is believed to bring good luck to the newborn and drive away curses (诅咒). (根据当地文化，这种沐浴能让婴儿变得强壮且身体健康。这是一种草药浴，用于清洗婴儿并使其皮肤光滑。人们相信它能为新生儿带来好运并驱走诅咒。)”可知， Ekyogero草药浴提供身体和精神上的好处。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As they dance and sing, they pat their eyes and show off their teeth to look more attractive. They intend to have one of the young girls of marriageable age fall in love with them and their skills. (当他们载歌载舞时，他们会轻拍自己的眼睛，露出牙齿以显得更加迷人。他们的目的是让某个适婚年龄的年轻女孩爱上他们以及他们的技艺。)”可知，年轻男子在Guerewol比赛中跳舞和唱歌是为了吸引年轻女孩。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Also, when a father spits on his daughter on her wedding day, it means wishes and blessings for a beautiful home. (此外，当一位父亲在女儿的婚礼上向她吐口水时，这意味着对她美好的家庭的祝愿和祝福。)”可知，马塞族父亲通过吐口水的方式来向出嫁的女儿表达祝福。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is time for Africans to get back to their roots by remembering and rebuilding their traditions. By taking part in a return to traditions, Africans will rebuild their diversity (多样性) of cultural heritage. (是时候让非洲人回归他们的根源，记住并重建他们的传统了。通过参与传统回归的活动，非洲人将重建他们丰富的文化遗产多样性。)”可知，作者对非洲恢复其遗产的态度是积极的，故选A。 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。有两项是多余选项。 How to Experience Chinese Traditional Festivals in a Meaningful Way in 2026 In the digital age of 2026, people have more choices to celebrate traditional festivals, but many people feel that festivals are becoming more and more “perfunctory” and losing their original charm. ____16____ Here are some practical suggestions to help you experience traditional festivals in a meaningful way and feel the true warmth and cultural connotation of festivals. ____17____ Traditional festivals are closely linked with family, and family reunion is the core of most Chinese traditional festivals.

The core of festivals is to convey good wishes and emotions. ____20____ Instead of sending a simple digital message or red envelope, you can write a handwritten greeting card, make a small hand-made gift, or visit relatives and friends in person.

In a word experiencing traditional festivals in a meaningful way is not about how grand the celebration is, but about whether you can feel the cultural connotation and emotional warmth behind the festivals.

Everyone praised her excellent speaking skills. One day, she saw a local TV station holding a “Teenage Host” selection. The winner would be invited to host a children’s program once a week. Gina thought it was a great opportunity to show her skills, so she signed up. During the interview, Gina responded to all the questions clearly and even told a funny story to make the judges laugh. However, when the result came out, Gina was shocked — she didn’t make it. Unwilling to give up, she gathered up her courage to ask the chief judge, “Excuse me, could you tell me why I wasn’t selected?” The chief judge replied coldly, “You seem a bit overweight. It doesn’t meet our requirements.” Gina felt angry after hearing that, but deep down, she knew she was heavier than many other girls of her age. Determined to change her image, she decided to lose weight. She searched online and found a “5+2 light fasting” method: eat normally on five days a week and only take in very few calories (热量) for the other 2 days. Gina made up her mind to try it, ignoring the potential risks. On the first two days, Gina felt extremely hungry, causing her to fail to focus on what the teachers said in class. She often looked at the blackboard painfully, her mind recalling delicious food. Her classmates noticed something was wrong and asked her if she was sick. But Gina just made up excuses, saying she simply had a slight headache. By the second week, the situation got worse. During a break, before Gina could say anything, she fell to the ground. Her classmates were frightened and immediately ran to tell their head teacher, Mr. David. Mr. David rushed over, picked her up carefully, and took her to the hospital at once. After the doctor’s timely care, Gina finally woke up. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 After being asked, Gina explained to David why she had acted this way. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing Mr. David’s words, Gina decided to accept her own figure. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】After being asked, Gina explained to David why she had acted this way. Tears welled up in her eyes as she told him about the whole story. Gina also mentioned the light fasting method she’d been trying, admitting she’d ignored the possible risks just to slim down quickly. Her voice trembled with regret as she said, “I just wanted to prove I was good enough for the program.” Mr. David listened patiently, his expression softening with sympathy. He patted her shoulder gently and said,“Gina, your talent for hosting has nothing to do with your weight. What matters is your passion and skills, not your appearance.” Hearing Mr. David’s words, Gina decided to accept her own figure. She realized that the judge’s shallow standard didn’t define her worth. After recovering, she stopped the unhealthy fasting and started eating balanced meals and doing moderate exercise to stay fit, not to meet others’ unfair expectations. Later, she joined the school’s broadcasting club, where she continued to shine with her excellent speaking skills. She even hosted a school charity show, which was a big success. This experience taught her that true confidence comes from accepting oneself, not chasing an unrealistic image of perfection. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了吉娜擅长主持，因体重落选青少年主持人选拔。她盲目轻断食减肥导致晕倒，被送医后老师开导她，才华与外表无关。她最终接纳自己，健康生活，在校广播社继续发光，明白真正的自信源于自我接纳。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在被询问后，吉娜向大卫老师解释了自己为何会这样行事。”可知，第一段可描写吉娜被送医后老师开导她，才华与外表无关。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到大卫老师的话后，吉娜决定接受自己的身材。”可知，第二段可描写吉娜最终接纳自己，健康生活，在校广播社继续发光，明白真正的自信源于自我接纳。 2.续写线索：解释了自己为何会这样行事——被送医后老师开导她——决定接受自己的身材——最终接纳自己健康生活——在校广播社继续发光——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提到：mention/refer to ②忽视：ignore/neglect ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①轻柔地：gently/softly ②热情：passion /enthusiasm 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Lubbock Lubbock is a small town with a big heart for art. It’s best known as the birthplace of Buddy Holly, one of the most important figures in rock and roll. The town honors Holly with street art featuring his famous glasses, and a performance center named after him — the Buddy Holly Hall. His influence can be seen all over the town. Shreveport In the 1940s and 50s, Shreveport was a major center of American music. It was home to the Louisiana Hayride, a radio show where music stars like Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash began their careers (职业).The show was so influential that it was called “The Cradle of the Stars”, and it became second only to the Grand Ole Opry in importance for country music. Clarksdale Clarksdale is a small town in the Mississippi Delta where the sound of blues music started. It’s famous as the place where musicians like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and Howlin’ Wolf grew up. It seems like you could hear blues playing around every corner, seven nights a week. Macon Macon is a town full of history and music, with a mix of Southern charm (魅力) and modern culture. It’s known as “the city where soul (灵魂) lives”, and that’s true because it’s where both Little Richard, the “Architect of Rock and Roll”, and Otis Redding, the “King of Soul”, grew up. Visitors can tour the Capricorn Sound Studios, where Southern rock music was born. 1. Which town has a close connection to Buddy Holly? A. Macon. B. Lubbock. C. Shreveport. D. Clarksdale. 2. What is Clarksdale famous for? A. Jazz music. B. Blues music. C. Rock and roll. D. Country music. 3. Where will you go if you want to explore the history of Southern rock music? A. The Grand Ole Opry. B. The Louisiana Hayride. C. The Buddy Holly Hall. D. The Capricorn Sound Studios. B Lena, a 62-year-old woman living in a quiet Canadian town, found an old guitar in the attic (阁楼) last week. She was sorting old photos and childhood toys when her hand touched the cool wood, and the familiar shape brought a big smile. The guitar’s wooden body was grey, and its strings (弦) were broken, but it brought back a flood of warm old stories. When Lena was 7, her father often taught her to play the guitar by their lakeside house. One summer evening, he asked her to play Happy Birthday for her little brother Max. Max laughed and cheered even when she messed up notes. “Music makes every moment special,” Dad would say, smiling as Lena struggled with the music notes. Neighbors passed by to listen and sang along, while her dog Buddy moved his tail happily and touched her hand softly. That year, her father gave her the guitar as a New Year gift, telling her to record moments with the family by using music. Lena spent hours practicing every day under the big tree in the park near her home, her dog Buddy lying at her feet. Now, so many years later, Lena softly cleaned the guitar. She replaced the strings and tried to play the old song — her fingers hurt a little, but the song felt like a hug from the past. Though her fingers were not as quick as before and her voice was a bit shaky, the same happiness filled her heart. Looking in the mirror, she saw grey hair, but her eyes shone just like they did by the lake. “Some things never change,” Lena said softly, touching the guitar’s old neck. She missed her father, but the guitar made her feel close. The guitar looks old, but in her mind, she was still that 7-year-old girl, laughing under the sunset with her family. Age may make us look older, but the music in our hearts remains as young as ever. 4. What made Lena think of the old stories? A. Her dog Buddy. B. The discovered guitar. C. The lakeside house. D. The old photos. 5. Why did Lena’s father teach her to play the guitar? A. To gift her on New Year. B. To value family time. C. To spread music to neighbors. D. To celebrate Max’s birthday. 6. How did Lena feel when playing the old song years later? A. Sad. B. Proud. C. Regretful. D. Joyful. 7. What does the text want to tell us? A. Old things need care. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Music keeps us young at heart. D. Music comes from daily life. C Listening to music daily after the age of 70 could greatly lower the risk of developing a brain disease like dementia. A major study from Monash University discovered this by analyzing data from over 10800 older adults. Those who often listened to music had a much lower chance of suffering from severe memory problems compared to those who seldom did. The research also explored the benefits of playing musical instruments, finding that people who played regularly also saw a significant drop in their risk. The most powerful effects were seen in people who always listened to music. This group not only had a lower risk of the brain disease but also showed better overall thinking abilities and a stronger memory for daily events. Combining both listening and playing music offered even greater protection against mental decline. Researchers suggest that music could be a simple and effective way for older people to maintain their mental health. This finding is especially important as societies around the world face the challenges of an aging population. With people living longer, conditions that affect memory and thinking are becoming more common, creating pressure on families and healthcare systems. Therefore, finding easy-to-use methods to support brain health is a public health priority. According to the lead scientist, with no known cure for such brain diseases, finding ways to prevent or delay them is extremely important. The study adds to evidence that our brain’s health is not fixed. It can be influenced by our personal choices and environment. Thus, activities like listening to or playing music may be powerful lifestyle tools to promote a healthy mind as we age. 8. What benefit did regular music listeners show? A. They never got sick. B. They lived longer than others. C. They all learned to play instruments. D. They had better memory of daily events. 9. Why is music considered a good method for brain health? A. It is a new scientific discovery. B. It is more popular than other activities. C. It is easy for most older people to access. D. It can replace all other medical treatments. 10. What is the key message of the research? A. Brain health is only decided by age and genes. B. Older adults should avoid all social activities. C. Only listening to music is helpful for the mind. D. Lifestyle choices can influence our brain’s aging process. 11. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A New Cure for Brain Diseases B. The Challenges of an Aging Population C. Music: A Simple Way to Protect the Aging Brain D. How to Play a Musical Instrument D Heritages are unique and precious characteristics of a society that are passed down through generations. Without particular efforts, many of these become lost in time. Africa is a continent with rich cultural heritage. Traditions like folk tales and dances by the moonlight, poem and other unique activities make up a large part of cultural heritage in Africa. Uganda’s Ekyogero traditional herbal (药草) bath is a famous tradition. It is a bath for newborn babies that is popular in many communities in Uganda. According to the culture, it makes the child strong and physically healthy. It is a herbal bath that is used to wash the baby and give it smooth skin. It is believed to bring good luck to the newborn and drive away curses (诅咒). It is also believed that modern medicine does not have answers for every condition. In fact, a lot of modern medical treatments are based on traditional applications of herbs. One unique thing about the Wodaabe people of Niger is the Guerewol competition. It is an annual marriage competition that has young men dancing and singing while dressed up with decorations and painted faces. As they dance and sing, they pat their eyes and show off their teeth to look more attractive. They intend to have one of the young girls of marriageable age fall in love with them and their skills. Among the Maasai people of Kenya and Northern Tanzania spitting is a sign of respect and honor. It is also seen as a form of positive greeting. If one spits on one’s hands, which are then used to shake someone’s hand, it means a friendly greeting. When done on a single person, especially a baby, it means blessings (祝福). Also, when a father spits on his daughter on her wedding day, it means wishes and blessings for a beautiful home. Today, most of the world is returning to its traditional ways or ideas. If countries like China, India, and Japan, who have long followed their traditional culture are doing well now, then Africa can do so too. It is time for Africans to get back to their roots by remembering and rebuilding their traditions. By taking part in a return to traditions, Africans will rebuild their diversity (多样性) of cultural heritage. 12. What do we know about the Ekyogero herbal bath? A.

No matter how busy you are with work or study, try to go back to your hometown and stay with your family. Cook traditional festival food together, talk about the past and the future, and participate in family festival customs together. The simple company of family is the most precious part of festival celebration. Learn and inherit traditional festival customs. Many young people don’t know the origin and specific customs of traditional festivals, so they can’t feel the cultural connotation behind them. ____18____ You can learn to make zongzi with your grandma, make paper lanterns with your grandpa, or write Spring Festival couplets with your parents. In the process of learning, you can not only master traditional skills, but also understand the deep culture and emotion behind the customs. Combine traditional culture with modern digital experience. In 2026, many cultural institutions and scenic spots launch festival activities that combine traditional culture with digital technology. ____19____ For example, you can experience virtual lantern riddles solving in a digital cultural museum, or join online “cloud dragon boat racing” with friends from different places. This combination makes traditional festival culture more interesting and attractive, and also makes it easier for young people to accept and love it. Express sincere wishes to relatives and friends. The core of festivals is to convey good wishes and emotions. ____20____ Instead of sending a simple digital message or red envelope, you can write a handwritten greeting card, make a small hand-made gift, or visit relatives and friends in person. Sincere wishes are more touching than any fancy digital gifts, and they can also make the festival emotion more profound. In a word, experiencing traditional festivals in a meaningful way is not about how grand the celebration is, but about whether you can feel the cultural connotation and emotional warmth behind the festivals. A. Go back home and stay with your family B. This is because they ignore the essence and emotional connotation of festivals C It’s never too late to learn about traditional festival culture and inherit it D. You can take part in these activities to experience traditional festivals in a new way E. Don’t let digital technology take the place of sincere emotional communication F Traditional festival customs are the most important part of Chinese culture G. We should refuse to use any digital technology in festival celebrations 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Josiah Jackson has played the piano since age 4 and he started his piano-tuning (钢琴调音) career at 18.

Everyone praised her excellent speaking skills. One day, she saw a local TV station holding a “Teenage Host” selection. The winner would be invited to host a children’s program once a week. Gina thought it was a great opportunity to show her skills, so she signed up. During the interview, Gina responded to all the questions clearly and even told a funny story to make the judges laugh. However, when the result came out, Gina was shocked — she didn’t make it. Unwilling to give up, she gathered up her courage to ask the chief judge, “Excuse me, could you tell me why I wasn’t selected?” The chief judge replied coldly, “You seem a bit overweight. It doesn’t meet our requirements.” Gina felt angry after hearing that, but deep down, she knew she was heavier than many other girls of her age. Determined to change her image, she decided to lose weight. She searched online and found a “5+2 light fasting” method: eat normally on five days a week and only take in very few calories (热量) for the other 2 days. Gina made up her mind to try it, ignoring the potential risks. On the first two days, Gina felt extremely hungry, causing her to fail to focus on what the teachers said in class. She often looked at the blackboard painfully, her mind recalling delicious food. Her classmates noticed something was wrong and asked her if she was sick. But Gina just made up excuses, saying she simply had a slight headache. By the second week, the situation got worse. During a break, before Gina could say anything, she fell to the ground. Her classmates were frightened and immediately ran to tell their head teacher, Mr. David. Mr. David rushed over, picked her up carefully, and took her to the hospital at once. After the doctor’s timely care, Gina finally woke up. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 After being asked, Gina explained to David why she had acted this way. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing Mr. David’s words, Gina decided to accept her own figure. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
