B(2025·四川遂宁)
The Maori(毛利人) arrived in New Zealand from Polynesian islands about a thousand years ago. They were the first people to live in New Zealand.
In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was probably 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and illness killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen.
Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. Now there are Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger.
Maori culture is also alive. At the centre of Maori culture is the "marae". This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions.
Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals every year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practise for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins.
The Maori have gone through hard times. Today they live a comfortable, modern life. They keep their cultural traditions alive because they have passed and are passing them down to their children.

### 文章部分
毛利人大约在一千年前从波利尼西亚群岛来到新西兰。他们是最早在新西兰生活的人。
18世纪晚期，欧洲人来到新西兰生活。当时，新西兰的毛利人口可能有25万。在接下来的一百年里，战争和疾病导致许多毛利人死亡。到19世纪末，只剩下大约4万毛利人。在此期间，毛利人也把他们的大部分土地输给了欧洲人。他们中的许多人担心自己也会失去传统和语言，但这种情况并没有发生。
如今毛利人口正在增加。新西兰大约有50万毛利人。大多数毛利人的生活和其他新西兰人一样，但他们让毛利语言和传统保持活力。现在有毛利广播电台和电视台。许多学校用毛利语教学。将近一半的毛利语使用者年龄在25岁或以下。
毛利文化也很有活力。毛利文化的核心是“马拉埃”（聚会场所）。这是一个举行仪式和集会的特殊地方。如今新西兰的马拉埃数量正在增加。许多新的马拉埃在城市里。现在城市里的人们可以相聚并了解他们的毛利传统。
如今大多数新西兰城市每年都有毛利节日。节日活动包括演讲、舞蹈和歌唱比赛。孩子们会练习几个月。然后该地区所有的毛利人都会来观看比赛，看看谁获胜。
毛利人经历过艰难时期。如今他们过着舒适的现代生活。他们让自己的文化传统保持活力，因为他们已经并正在把这些传统传承给他们的孩子。
