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 (摇篮) 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 (独立) 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. What does the underlined word “anchored” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Settled. B. Freed. C. Responded. D. Limited. 7. How does the author organize the ideas in the text? A. By contrasting two family traditions. B. By linking past experiences to present. C. By arguing for school cultural education. D. By analyzing immigration history pattern. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者通过祖母的故事传承家族文化，并意识到故事讲述在移民家庭中的重要意义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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. (每天晚上，祖母讲述的孟买故事、充满活力的节日，尤其是关于我从未见过的祖父的故事，在我们古老的遗产和新的美国生活之间架起了一座桥梁。)”可知，祖母的故事在家族中起到了文化连接的作用。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“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. (有一个故事在我记忆中最为清晰鲜活：祖父庆祝Janmashtami(建摩斯达密节)。他会耗时数周，用后院的芒果树亲手打造一座供奉Lord Krishna的木质摇篮，缀满鲜花与彩灯，再邀请整片社区的邻里一同欢歌宴饮，共享欢乐。透过祖母的娓娓讲述，我仿佛能看见他布满老茧的双手与温和的笑容。一段尘封的往事，就此化作我了解祖父世界的一扇窗。)”可知，作者提到这个故事是因为这个故事成为作者了解、走进祖父世界的窗口，拉近了自己与祖父的联结。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“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. (这些故事的意义不止于留存过往，使我anchored在当下。我在美国长大，时常感觉自己像个局外人，而这些故事给了我心灵的归属感，也让我由衷为自己的民族文化底蕴感到自豪。)”可知，这些故事不仅保留了过去，还让作者在当下找到了归属感，anchored在此处意为“使稳定，使扎根”，与settled意思相近。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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. (每天晚上，祖母讲述的孟买故事、充满活力的节日，尤其是关于我从未见过的祖父的故事，在我们古老的遗产和新的美国生活之间架起了一座桥梁。)”以及最后一段“Now a mother myself, I share these same stories with my children, just as my parents and grandmother once did. (现在我自己也成了母亲，我和孩子们分享同样的故事，就像我的父母和祖母曾经做过的那样。)”可知，作者通过将过去的经历与现在联系起来来组织文章中的观点。 C An 85-year-old hugged a younger woman she hadn’t seen for months, and she chanted (吟唱) 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 neighbour, replied over and over in the local Kirundi language. A group of neighbours watched in amazement. Many were seeing their first performance of the traditional form of musical greeting, known to Burundians as akazehe. It is performed only by women on a range of occasions. However, akazehe is disappearing, despite its unique status (地位) 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 perceived 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 practise 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.” 8. What was Namukobwa doing according to paragraph 1? A. Practising a song. B. Sharing a story. C. Teaching a language. D. Performing a custom. 9. 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. 10. Nikobiba thinks that the role of akazehe lies in ___________. A. building an active community B. maintaining traditional customs C. bringing comfort to elders in a family D. providing psychological support for women 11. Why does the writer mention Ntakirutimana in the last paragraph? A. To praise the politeness of Burundians. B. To show the influence of cultural practices. C. To stress the importance of careful observation. D. To indicate the necessity of learning how to greet. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是布隆迪传统音乐问候形式akazehe的现状与意义，强调其在社区和家庭中提供心理支持的重要性，以及面对现代挑战时的传承困境。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“An 85-year-old hugged a younger woman she hadn’t seen for months, and she chanted (吟唱) some questions in the special routine of her ancestors in Burundi, “How are you? How is your husband? How are the kids?”(一位85岁的老人拥抱了一位她几个月没见的年轻女子，并用她在布隆迪祖先的特殊套路反复地问她：“你好吗？”你丈夫好吗？孩子们怎么样了？”)”和第二段“Many were seeing their first performance of the traditional form of musical greeting, known to Burundians as akazehe.(许多人第一次看到布隆迪人称为akazehe的传统音乐问候表演。)”可知，Namukobwa在表演一种习俗。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“They mentioned the threat from public health measures that discourage unnecessary contact during disease outbreaks, in addition to the perceived failure to promote akazehe among school-going youth.(他们提到了来自公共卫生措施的威胁，这些措施在疫情爆发期间劝阻不必要的接触，此外还提到了在学龄青年中推广akazehe被认为不成功的问题。)”可知，第三段的主要内容是akazehe衰落的原因。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Such support from elders would help them develop better mental health for the young family, he added.(他补充说，长者的这种支持将有助于他们为年轻家庭培养更好的心理健康。)”可知，Nikobiba认为akazehe的作用在于为妇女提供心理支持。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.”(她说，她在一个农业社区长大，那里的母亲们都不会表演akazehe。看完之后，她也想自己学习akazehe。“我感觉好多了，”Ntakirutimana说，“我觉得这很好。”)”可知，作者在最后一段提到了Ntakirutiman是为了显示文化习俗的影响。故选B。 D 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 characterized by face-to-face gatherings, shared meals, and participation (参与). 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 (平台) 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 turned 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 around the celebration. Interestingly, while digital platforms have introduced new ways of celebrating, they have also played a key role in preserving and reviving 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. 12. What does the author imply about traditional festivals? A. They lacked education value. B. They served many social functions. C. They were limited to religious purposes. D. They required modern technology support. 13. 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. 14. How have digital platforms helped preserve traditional practices? A. By hosting virtual dance competitions. B. By enabling young people to learn traditions easily. C. By commercializing festivals through online platforms. D. By replacing face-to-face festival gatherings. 15. Which could be a suitable title for the text? A. The End of Physical Gatherings? B. Why Festivals Go Crazy: A Digital Trend C. Traditional Festivals: A Thing of the Past? D. Festival Celebrations from Traditional to Digital 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了节日庆祝方式从传统到数字化的转变及其影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Festivals brought communities together, developing a sense of belonging and shared identity. They were often a time for families and friends to become closer.(节日把社区聚集在一起，培养归属感和共同的身份认同感。它们通常是家人和朋友变得更加亲密的时刻。)”可知，作者认为传统节日具有很多社会功能。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“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.(尽管节日数字化带来诸多便利，但也存在不少问题。线上庆祝往往会淡化人情味，弱化线下团聚独有的情感联结。此外，网络平台催生的节日商业化现象，也让人们担忧节日的文化与宗教内涵会逐渐淡化。)”可知，作者认为虚拟庆祝活动既有好处也有坏处。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Online teachers, virtual workshops, and cultural apps have made it easier for younger generations to learn about and participate in traditional practices.(在线教师、虚拟工作坊和文化应用程序让年轻一代更容易了解和参与传统习俗。)”可知，数字平台让年轻人更容易学习传统，从而帮助保存传统习俗。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Historically, festivals were closely connected to religious, agricultural, or cultural practices.(从历史上看，节日与宗教、农业或文化习俗密切相关。)”以及第二段中“With the rise of the Internet and digital technologies, the way people celebrated festivals began to change.(随着互联网和数字技术的兴起，人们庆祝节日的方式开始发生变化。)”可知，文章主要讲述了节日庆祝方式从传统到数字化的转变及其影响，D选项“节日庆祝：从传统到数字化”最符合文章标题。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。 In the 19th century, some people believed that musical talent left bumps on the skull (颅骨) ___16___ 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. ___17___ Children who learn 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. ___18___ Another study linked music practice to a lower risk of dementia (痴呆) in older adults. Scientists are still trying to understand exactly why, but the connection seems strong. ___19___ 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. ___20___ 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. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. G 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了演奏音乐对大脑的益处。 【16题详解】 上文“In the 19th century, some people believed that musical talent left bumps on the skull (颅骨).(十九世纪，有人认为音乐天赋会在颅骨上留下隆起。)”提出旧时错误观点，后文转折说明演奏音乐只会在大脑留下健康印记而非头骨表面，选项B“Today, we know that’s not true.(如今我们知道这并不正确。)”承接上文，完成观点过渡。 【17题详解】 下文“Children who learn an instrument before age seven develop a stronger connection between the two sides of their brain.(七岁前学习乐器的孩子，左右脑之间会形成更强的联结。)”强调幼年学乐器的优势，选项C“Starting young seems to help even more.(从小开始学习似乎益处更大。)”总领后文内容。 【18题详解】 上文“Research suggests that musicians often have better memory and problem-solving skills.(研究表明，音乐家往往拥有更好的记忆力和解决问题的能力。)”讲述音乐带来的益处，后文“Another study linked music practice to a lower risk of dementia (痴呆) in older adults.(另一项研究将音乐练习与老年人患痴呆症的低风险联系起来。)”继续补充相关研究结论，选项G“One study found people with musical experience felt less pain than others.(有一项研究发现有音乐阅历的人比其他人痛感更弱。)”承接上文，补充音乐的另一项好处。 【19题详解】 下文“Pianists and brass players tend to have better working memory, while singers do well in verbal reasoning.(钢琴家和铜管乐器演奏者往往工作记忆更好，歌手则擅长语言推理。)”说明不同乐器带来的优势不同，选项D“The type of instrument you play may matter too.(你演奏的乐器种类也可能很关键。)”作为本段主题句，总领下文。 【20题详解】 上文“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.(好消息是，你不必像海顿那样是个天才就能从中受益。研究表明，规律的练习对业余爱好者和专业人士都有帮助。所以，无论你是弹钢琴还是只是在淋浴时唱歌，都要坚持搞音乐。)”给出坚持接触音乐的建议，选项A“Your brain will thank you.(你的大脑会因此受益。)”收尾点题，呼应全篇音乐对大脑有益的主旨。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分35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。 Almost every Thursday during the school year, my friends and I play pickup basketball.

My parents always fill my life with warmth: They make my favorite meals each morning — like savory 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 stubborn 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, sorry 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： (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。 He sat beside me, patting my shoulder with a soft smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I breathed deep and walked to the kitchen, where Mom was stirring soup. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： He sat beside me, patting my shoulder with a soft smile. “Your mother still loves you unconditionally,” he whispered, his voice full of understanding. “Parents make mistakes too, but their devotion never changes.” His gentle words melted my stubbornness instantly. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I admitted my deep regret. Dad handed me a tissue and added wisely, “She’s in the kitchen now, preparing your favorite soup. Remember, a sincere apology can heal everything.” His encouragement gave me the courage to mend our bond. I breathed deep and walked to the kitchen, where Mom was stirring soup. “Mom, I’m truly sorry,” I murmured, my voice trembling with emotion. She turned around, her eyes softening immediately. Setting down the wooden spoon, she embraced me tightly. “It’s okay, my dear. I know how much those planes mean to you.” I hugged her back, feeling her unconditional love. That evening, we reorganized my room together, laughing and sharing stories. Our bond grew even stronger, teaching me that love and understanding always defeat anger. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因妈妈挪动模型飞机并碰弯机翼而发脾气，看到妈妈修复飞机并道歉的便条后心生愧疚，在爸爸的开导下，主动向妈妈道歉，重拾家庭温暖、领悟亲情真谛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“他在我身旁坐下，脸上带着温和的笑意，轻轻拍着我的肩膀。”可知，接下来可描写爸爸的开导与安慰，点明妈妈的心意，化解“我”的固执，为“我”道歉给予鼓励。 ② 由第二段首句“我深吸一口气，走向厨房，妈妈正在那里搅拌着汤。”可知，接下来可描写“我”向妈妈真诚道歉的过程，妈妈的包容与回应，以及两人化解矛盾、重拾温情的互动。 2. 续写线索：爸爸温柔开导点明母爱——“我”放下固执流露愧疚——爸爸鼓励“我”主动道歉——“我”向妈妈真诚认错——妈妈包容拥抱化解矛盾——亲子互动升温，亲情愈发浓厚 3.词类激活 行为类 ①低声说：whisper/ speak in a low voice ②递给：hand/pass/deliver ③颤抖：tremble/shake/shiver 情绪类 ①真诚的道歉：a sincere apology/an earnest apology ②后悔：regret/remorse 【点睛】【高分句型1】Tears streamed down my cheeks as I admitted my deep regret.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】 I murmured, my voice trembling with emotion.（运用了独立主格结构） 【高分句型3】 Our bond grew even stronger, teaching me that love and understanding always defeat anger.（运用了现在分词作状语以及that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一年级下学期期中考试英语学科试题 本试卷满分150分，考试用时125分钟。 注意事项： 1、答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2、选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3、非选择画的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4、考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B 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 (摇篮) 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 (独立) 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. What does the underlined word “anchored” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Settled. B. Freed. C. Responded. D. Limited. 7. How does the author organize the ideas in the text? A. By contrasting two family traditions. B. By linking past experiences to present. C. By arguing for school cultural education. D. By analyzing immigration history pattern. C An 85-year-old hugged a younger woman she hadn’t seen for months, and she chanted (吟唱) 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 neighbour, replied over and over in the local Kirundi language. A group of neighbours watched in amazement. Many were seeing their first performance of the traditional form of musical greeting, known to Burundians as akazehe. It is performed only by women on a range of occasions. However, akazehe is disappearing, despite its unique status (地位) 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 perceived 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 practise 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.” 8. What was Namukobwa doing according to paragraph 1? A. Practising a song. B. Sharing a story. C. Teaching a language. D. Performing a custom. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The status of akazehe in Burundi. B. The difficulty in promoting akazehe. C.

A. building an active community B. maintaining traditional customs C. bringing comfort to elders in a family D. providing psychological support for women 11. Why does the writer mention Ntakirutimana in the last paragraph? A. To praise the politeness of Burundians. B. To show the influence of cultural practices. C. To stress the importance of careful observation. D. To indicate the necessity of learning how to greet. D 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 characterized by face-to-face gatherings, shared meals, and participation (参与). 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 (平台) 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 turned 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 around the celebration. Interestingly, while digital platforms have introduced new ways of celebrating, they have also played a key role in preserving and reviving 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. 12. What does the author imply about traditional festivals? A. They lacked education value. B. They served many social functions. C. They were limited to religious purposes. D. They required modern technology support. 13. 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. 14. How have digital platforms helped preserve traditional practices? A. By hosting virtual dance competitions. B. By enabling young people to learn traditions easily. C. By commercializing festivals through online platforms. D. By replacing face-to-face festival gatherings. 15. Which could be a suitable title for the text? A. The End of Physical Gatherings? B. Why Festivals Go Crazy: A Digital Trend C. Traditional Festivals: A Thing of the Past? D. Festival Celebrations from Traditional to Digital 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。 In the 19th century, some people believed that musical talent left bumps on the skull (颅骨) ___16___ However, scientists have found that playing music does leave a healthy mark on the brain — just not on the outside of the head.

Studies show that professional musicians have more grey matter, which is the tissue responsible for thinking and memory, than non-musicians. ___17___ Children who learn 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. ___18___ Another study linked music practice to a lower risk of dementia (痴呆) in older adults. Scientists are still trying to understand exactly why, but the connection seems strong. ___19___ 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. ___20___ 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.

My parents always fill my life with warmth: They make my favorite meals each morning — like savory 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 stubborn 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, sorry 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： (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。 He sat beside me, patting my shoulder with a soft smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I breathed deep and walked to the kitchen, where Mom was stirring soup. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
