As the younger generation, we bear the responsibility to uphold and cherish our ancestors' legacy. Our traditions are far more than mere rituals—they are the very foundation of our identity and history, binding us together, instilling a sense of belonging and cultural continuity. Without them, our unique cultural voice risks fading into the tides of time. To safeguard these invaluable traditions, we can begin by actively participating in cultural events and deepening our understanding of them. Education plays a pivotal role in this effort, as integrating traditional knowledge into curricula fosters deeper awareness and appreciation among younger generations. Moreover, leveraging social media to share our customs can amplify their reach and inspire others to join in preserving them. Let's work together to protect and pass down our precious traditions.

B Chinese architect Liu Jiakun, born in Chengdu in 1956, has been awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize, often called the “Nobel Prize of architecture.” His childhood memories of exploring the brick hospital where his mother worked as a doctor deeply influenced his architectural vision. From the rooftop, he observed Chengdu's mix of traditional wooden homes and modern buildings—a balance that later inspired his design philosophy. After graduating in 1982, Liu worked in an architecture firm but struggled to balance his architectural work with his comparatively stronger passion for writing. He described this period as having “two identities.” However, writing has given him more perspectives to observe society and human behavior, which enriches his architectural work. These days, Liu said, he sees similarities between the two: both sharing similar vocabularies like beginnings, build-ups, climaxes, and endings. Liu also applies this vocabulary to busy public spaces. His West Village commercial complex, built in Chengdu in 2015, fills an entire old block with modern buildings, bike paths, monuments and walkways for pedestrians. A 2020 art exhibition praised it as “translating traditional Chinese cultural ethos (精髓 ) into contemporary architectural language”. Perhaps nothing sums up Liu's approach more effectively than the “recycled bricks” he formed after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake destroyed entire villages northwest of Chengdu. To help with rebuilding, Liu made bricks, using straw and the rubble (碎砖瓦 ) left from the fallen buildings. “You can see history in 深圳高级中学（集团）2024－2025 学年高一第二学期期中测试题 5 / 12 each brick,” he said, adding that their production stopped after there was no more debris (残骸 ) . “But in the world, as long as there are disasters like earthquakes, we can always find a use for recycled bricks.” 19. What inspired Liu Jiakun's architectural philosophy during his childhood? A. His mother's medical career. B. Studying ancient Chinese literature. C. Designing hospitals with brick materials. D. His observations from the hospital rooftop. 20. How did Liu's passion for writing influence his architectural work? A. It limited his creativity in public spaces. B. It expanded his vocabulary in architecture. C. It provided him with broader social perspectives. D. It almost caused him to lose a professional identity. 21. Which aspect of West Village complex best reflects Liu's design philosophy? A. Its use of recycled construction materials. B. Its function as an ideal space for art exhibitions. C. Its emphasis on high-profit commercial activities. D. Its application of traditional cultural elements to modern architecture. 22. What does Liu imply by saying “you can see history in each brick” in paragraph 4? A. The bricks contain ancient texts. B. The bricks are designed to last for centuries. C. The bricks reflect the destruction of modern cities. D. The bricks physically show fragments of fallen buildings. C Does using an eco-friendly paper straw (吸管) give you a good feeling because you're doing something for the environment? "Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic," says researcher Dr. Thimo Groffen, an environmental scientist at the University of Antwerp. "However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means that could be discredited." PFAS chemicals, infamous for their long existence and potential harm, can badly affect humans, wildlife and the environment. They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can exist over thousands of years 深圳高级中学（集团）2024－2025 学年高一第二学期期中测试题 6 / 12 in the environment, a property that has led to them being known as "forever chemicals". They are linked to various health issues, including thyroid (甲状腺) disease, liver damage, kidney cancer and so on. Furthermore, these chemicals are used in everyday items, such as outdoor clothing and non-stick pans, to make them water-resistant and heat-resistant. For a more in-depth analysis, the research team purchased 39 different brands of drinking straws made from five materials — paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel (不锈钢 ) and plastic, and then conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS. They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS identified in total. In paper straws, PFAS was identified in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also identified in 80% of brands of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straw brands and 40% of glass straw brands. They were not identified in any of the five types of stainless steel straws tested. "The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable," says Dr. Groffen. "We did not identify any PFAS in stainless steel straws, so I would advise consumers to use this type of straw — or just avoid using straws." The PFAS concentrations (浓度) are low and, considering that most people only use straws occasionally, pose a limited risk to human health. However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time. "Small amounts of PFAS, while not harmful in themselves, can add to the chemical load already present in the body," Dr. Groffen concludes. 23. What does the underlined word "discredited" in paragraph 1 probably mean? A . Plain. B. Relevant. C. Doubtful. D. Powerful. 24. Why are PFAS chemicals known as "forever chemicals"? A. They are resistant to water and heat. B. They take a long time to break down. C. They exist widely in daily necessities. D.They may cause various common diseases. 25. What can we know from the test for PFAS? A. PFAS was found in all five types of straws. B. Paper straws were most likely to contain PFAS. C. Steel straws are harmless to human health. D. Glass straws were the most environmentally friendly straws. 26. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To stress the potential risks of PFAS. B. To show approaches to using straws safely. 深圳高级中学（集团）2024－2025 学年高一第二学期期中测试题 7 / 12 C. To present the advantages of stainless steel straws. D. To appeal to consumers to avoid using straws in daily life. D The Earth Species Project (ESP) is a U.S.-based non-profit organization dedicated to decoding (解码 ) animal communication using AI. Its global research team is studying the vocalization patterns (发声模式) of specific animals, such as beluga whales, crows, and zebra finches, while also developing a general "foundation model" for animal communication, similar to ChatGPT for human communication. The goal is to make it possible for humans to communicate with other species, or at least understand their communication, by 2030. According to Aza Raskin, co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project, the project is now facing challenges in its research efforts. While large language models can be trained on vast amounts of Internet data, this project must collect specific recordings from various animal species. Analyzing animal data is complicated, as distinguishing single animal vocalizations from a noisy environment is challenging. However, the organization believes that as it gathers more recordings and improves its models, clearer patterns will appear — eventually enabling us to infer "meaning" from the data based on their similarities, even without fully understanding the context behind the sounds. Gail Patricelli, an animal behavior professor at the University of California, has witnessed significant advancements in the use of machine learning in bioacoustics (生物声学). While she believes that ESP holds promise for improving animal communication "dictionaries", especially for species that are hard to access, she cautioned observers against projecting human characteristics onto these animals. While technological advancements may help us better understand animal communication, we must avoid assuming that animals think or feel exactly like humans. Their behaviors and vocalizations should be interpreted based on their own behaviors, environments, and social structures. Researchers expect the research to shift humans' understanding of our place in the natural world, which could help address biodiversity loss. Director of Impact, Jane Lawton, believes that creating an "animal language dictionary" could help develop better conservation strategies and reconnect humanity with overlooked ecosystems. For example, in Canada's St. Lawrence River, where shipping traffic endangers beluga whales, scientists are using machine learning to decode their vocalizations, helping authorities alert boats and prevent accidents. 27. What is the purpose of the Earth Species Project? A. To build a global database of animal sounds. 深圳高级中学（集团）2024－2025 学年高一第二学期期中测试题 8 / 12 B. To teach animals to understand human languages. C. To enable humans to engage in cross-species communication. D. To develop a model to study animal habits with the help of AI. 28. Which of the following is a challenge Aza Raskin and his team face? A. Separating individual animal sounds from the environment. B. Training and enhancing language models with the help of AI. C. Recording interactions among animal species in natural world. D. Identifying the similarities between different animal sounds. 29. Which statement will Gail Patricelli probably agree with? A. It is challenging to study animals by using machine learning. B. Technology will allow us to communicate with animals fluently. C. Animal communication should be interpreted in each species' context. D. Human characteristics are the key to understanding animal behaviors. 30. What can we expect of creating an "animal language dictionary"? A. It will help with the protection of animal species. B. It will facilitate the discovery of new species. C. It will assist humans in managing wildlife more effectively. D. It will provide a complete translation of animal vocalizations. 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。 Did you know your brain changes and grows as you learn new things? 31 Your brain's amazing ability to adapt is called neuroplasticity. The "neuro" in "neuroplasticity" relates to neurons. Neurons are nerve cells. They are the building blocks of the brain and nervous system. They interpret information that comes from the outside world. They also send signals to other neurons. 32 As a result, it becomes easier for your brain to activate the same pattern in the future. In other words, every time you do a task, like throwing a ball, your brain remembers it. Next time, the task will be a little easier. Strengthening our neural connections doesn't just happen when we do something correctly. 33 Neurons in your brain register when you make a mistake, and your brain rewires itself to improve next time. Every time we make a mistake, we are strengthening our brain's neural pathways. 深圳高级中学（集团）2024－2025 学年高一第二学期期中测试题 9 / 12 Brain science shows us that if we aren't afraid to make mistakes, we can improve and accomplish difficult things. But how? 34 A growth mindset is the belief that mistakes are not failures, but instead are opportunities for growth. And it's true! Because even when you make mistakes doing a challenging task, you are expanding your brain's capabilities. 35 A. It also happens when we make mistakes! B. This process explains why practice makes perfect. C. Having a growth mindset can help us do that. D. Some scientists believe neurons stop developing after childhood. E. Like a muscle, your brain gets stronger the more you use it. F. When neurons in your brain are activated in a certain pattern, the connections between those neurons get stronger. G. And as you try different ways to accomplish something, you are learning and building your brain's connections! 第三部分 完形填空 （共 15小题；每小题 1分, 满分 15分） 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C和 D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was the night before the composition was due.

By April 20, it had earned over 18 billion yuan, making it the highest-grossing animated film worldwide. However, for its voice actress Lyu Yanting, 37, the role initially seemed like “just another dubbing project.” As she further studied the lines of Nezha, 52 origins date back to the Tang Dynasty, Lyu gained 53 deeper insight. Lyu found 54 (she) deeply relating to this modern version of Nezha, particularly his 55 (determine), sincerity and resilience. This connection made her performance feel authentic, as if she were drawing on real emotions rather than 56 (simple) acting. Lyu explained that being a voice actor is much like being an actor — only even more challenging: “Without facial expressions, every emotion must be conveyed through voice alone.” To prepare, she spent years exploring vocal techniques tirelessly. Her hard work 57 (pay) off when she finally landed the role, although she described her newfound recognition 58 “a pure stroke of luck”. The film's huge success, she believes, lies in its focus on communal bonds and Chinese values, 59 (compare) with Western individualism. “I'm thrilled to see the box office numbers 60 (rise) by the day, and I'm 深圳高级中学（集团）2024－2025 学年高一第二学期期中测试题 11 / 12 proud to be part of this project.” she said.
