In my Indian immigrant home,storytelling was more than entertainment -it was the
bridge connecting me to a world I had never seen.Each night,my grandmother's tales of
Mumbai,of vibrant festivals,and especially of my grandfather whom I never met,wove a bridge
between our old heritage and new American life.
One story remains most vivid:my grandfather's Janmashtami celebrations.He would spend
weeks crafting a wooden cradle (for Lord Krishna from a backyard mango tree,
decorating it with flowers and lamps before inviting the whole community to share in singing,
feasting,and joy.Through my grandmother's words,I could almost see his calloused hands and
kind smile -and what began as a memory became my own window into his world.
Those stories did more than preserve the past;they anchored me in the present.Growing
up in America,where I sometimes felt like an outsider,they gave me roots and a deep pride in
my heritage.At the same time,navigating school and Western values taught me independence
(and self-reliance.Slowly,I realized my identity did not require choosing one culture
over the other,but could accept both-the collective memory of my family and the individual
dreams nurtured here.
Now a mother myself,I share these same stories with my children,just as my parents and
grandmother once did.I see now what I couldn't as a child:In immigrant families,storytelling
is not merely tradition-it is an act of cultural preservation,a way to strengthen bonds across
generations and geographies,and a gentle but powerful force that shapes who we become.As
our world grows more interconnected,these personal stories remain essential,reminding us
where we come from while guiding us towards where we are going.
24.What role did the author's grandmother's stories play in their family?
A.Bedtime entertainment.
B.Religious explanation.
C.Hardship relief.
D.Cultural connection.
25.Why does the author specifically mention the story of Janmashtami?
A.To show a festival tradition.
B.To link her to grandfather's world.
C.To guide festival customs step-by-step.
D.To compare Indian and American holidays.

An 85-year-old hugged a younger woman she hadn't seen for months,and she chanted
some questions in the special routine of her ancestors in Burundi,"How are you?How is
your husband?How are the kids?"Namukobwa paused to permit the younger woman Nzeyimana
to answer.Nzeyimana,the visiting daughter of a former neighbor,replied over and over in the
local Kirundi language.
A group of neighbors watched in amazement.Many were seeing their first performance of
the traditional form of musical greeting,known to Burundians as akazehe(传统音乐问候形
)It is performed only by women on a range of oecasions.
However,akazehe is disappearing,despite its unique status()in this central African
country.That's according to cultural officials,teachers and others who say it is worth
preserving.They mentioned the threat from public health measures that discourage unnecessary
contact during disease outbreaks,in addition to the supposed failure to promote akazehe among
school-going youth.
A custom such as akazehe should be preserved because of its role in protecting families,
said Nikobiba,an anthropologist(人类学家)in Bujumbura.Among communities that practice
it,women could tell elder women about any problems at home.Nikobiba explained,
"Normally,before starting a home in traditional Burundi,the girl would first receive advice
from her father's sister.She would tell the girl,I will come to greet you after a certain
time."Such support from elders would help them develop better mental health for the young
family,he added.
Ntakirutimana was among the women who gathered to watch Namukobwa greeting
Nzeyimana.She said she grew up in a farming community where no mother could perform
akazehe.After watching,she wanted to learn akazehe herself."I feel better,"Ntakirutimana
said,"and I saw it was good."
28.What was Namukobwa doing according to paragraph 1?
A.Sharing a story.
B.Practicing a song.
C.Teaching a language.
D.Performing a custom.
29.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The status of akazehe in Burundi.
B.The difficulty in promoting akazehe.
C.The reasons for the decline of akazehe.
D.The impact of akazehe on public health.
30.What does Nikobiba think is the role of akazehe?
A.Building an active community.
B.Maintaining traditional customs.
C.Bringing comfort to elders in a family.
D.Providing psychological support for women.

Historically,festivals were closely connected to religious,agricultural,or cultural
practices.Whether it was the lighting of lamps during Diwali in India,the grand parades of
Carnival in Brazil,or the quiet reflection of Thanksgiving in the United States,festivals were
about face-to-face gatherings,shared meals,and participation ()Festivals brought
communities together,developing a sense of belonging and shared identity.They were often a
time for families and friends to become closer.
With the rise of the Internet and digital technologies,the way people celebrated festivals
began to change.One of the most significant changes has been the switch from face-to-face
gatherings to virtual ones.Social media platforms (like Facebook,Zoom,and Instagram
have become popular places for hosting virtual festival celebrations,allowing people to connect
with loved ones across the globe at the same time.Social media has not only changed how we
celebrate but also how we share our celebrations.Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have
tumned festivals into global events,where new ideas can spread fast and people from different
cultures often connect with each other.
Social media has also introduced interactive(互s动的)elements to festivals..Virtual
challenges,such as decorating competitions or dance battles,inspire users and make a culture
where everyone can take part in the celebration.
Interestingly,while digital platforms have introduced new ways of celebration,they have
also played a key role in preserving and recalling traditional practices.Online teachers,virtual
workshops,and cultural apps have made it easier for younger generations to learn about and
participate in traditional practices.
Despite the many benefits,the digitalization of festivals has its challenges.The change to
virtual celebrations can sometimes lead to a loss of the personal touch and emotional connection
that face-to-face gatherings provide.What's more,the commercialization of festivals through
online platforms has raised concerns about the weakening of cultural and religious significance.
As we move forward,it is necessary to balance the convenience of digital celebrations and
the richness of traditional practices,ensuring that festivals continue to be meaningful,
welcoming,and joyous occasions for all.
32.What does the author imply about traditional festivals?
A.They required modern technology support.
B.They were limited to religious purposes.
C.They served many social'functions
D.They lacked education value.
33.How does the author view virtual celebrations?
A.They are entirely beneficial.
B.They are totally unacceptable.
C.They are culturally meaningless
D.They have both good and bad effects.
34.How have digital platforms helped preserve traditional practices?
A.By hosting virtual dance competitions.
B.By replacing face-to-face festival gatherings
C.By enabling young people to learn traditions easily.
D.By commercializing festivals through online platforms.

In the 19th century,some people believed that musical talent left bumps on the skull
)36 However,scientists have found that playing music does leave a healthy mark on
the brain-just not on the outside of the head.
Making music is like a workout for your mind.The brain has to manage sound,movement,
and imagination at the same time.Studies show that professional musicians have more grey
matter,which is the tissue responsible for thinking and memory,than non-musicians.37
Children who lear an instrument before age seven develop a stronger connection between the
two sides of their brain.
Music also brings other surprising benefits.Research suggests that musicians often have
better memory and problem-solving skills.38 Another study linked music practice to a
lower risk of dementia (in older adults.Scientists are still trying to understand exacfly
why,but the connection seems strong.
39 Pianists and brass players tend to have better working memory,while singers do
well in verbal reasoning.Interestingly,playing many different instruments does not bring extra
brain benefits.The key is regular,focused practice.
The good news is that you don't have to be a genius like Haydn to benefit.Studies show
that regular practice helps both amateurs and professionals.So whether you play the piano or
just sing in the shower,keep making music.40
A.Your brain will thank you.
B.Today,we know that's not true.
C.Starting young seems to help even more.
D.The type of instrument you play may matter too.
E.Many students have little time to practice musical instruments.
F.Listening to music every day can make you feel relaxed and happy.
G.One study found people with musical experience felt less pain than others.

Family harmony greatly influences students'growth.My parents always fill my life with
warmth:They make.my favorite meals each morning一like savory(美昧的)fried eggs-and
stay up with me when I.struggle with tricky homework,especially confusing physics problems.
Their care makes me feel safe,but last week,I almost broke this warm bond due to my
selfishness and recklessness(鲁莽).
It started when Mom bought a new wooden bookshelf for my messy room.She spent the
whole weekend rearranging my piles of books,even dusting each with a soft cloth to wipe off
tiny dust.But I got angry at once-she'd moved my precious model planes to make space,and
one delicate(易碎的)wing bent slightly,I shouted at her without listening to a word she said,
then slammed the door and locked myself in the room.That night,I heard her sigh softly
outside a few times.I felt a little guilty,yet I was too stubbom to go out and make an apology to
her.
The next day,I came home tired from school to find my model plane placed neatly on the
desk.Its broken wing had been fixed with tiny pieces of colorful tape.There was also a
handwritten note,"Dear,sony.I didn't ask you before moving your beloved things.Your
model plane matters as much as you to me."At that moment,sweet memories flashed through
my mind -her folding my clothes every night,packing fresh fruit in my schoolbag each
morning,and cheering loudly for me at the sports meet even in light rain.I realized I'd ignored
her deep love just because of a small mistake.That evening,Dad came back and noticed my
low spirits and unusual silence.
注意:
.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He sat beside me,patting my shoulder with a soft smile.
I breathed deep and walked to the kitchen,where Mom was stirring soup.
