B Liu Jiakun,a Chinese architect from Chengdu,won the 2024 Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honor.Known for designs that mix local culture with modern needs,he became the second Chinese citizen to receive this award.

Since modem human beings appeared,brains began analyzing themselves.A recent finding marks a milestone:researchers published a complete map of neur 经元.also ealled conectome,in an adul fruit fly'；bain.They traced140,600 neurons and 55 million cocto Earlier projemapped sieroranism like worms or fly larvae but this is the firt detailed map of fullygrow animal that can move in three dimenson avodhunerndnththe 高二英语试题第5页（共12 In terms of its application prospect,the finding is an extraordinary achievement. It helps researchers comprehend how flies'neurons work together to tumn sensory information into actions.It helps them understand people,too.While fly and human brains operate differently,what works technologically to produce the fly connectome should work for vertebrates(脊椎动物)as well.That will start with mice,Eventually,. with enough technology and funding prepared,a human-brain connectome should be doable.When this happens,many tricky questions,ranging from how to treat mental diseases to what makes humans human,may be easier to answer. Some people believe brains'evolutionary speeding up even more.Beyond self- analysis,modern brains now create copies of themselves.The new finding may help people gain a new perspective on the Al technology.Since the mid-20th century. computers have been called"electronic brains",initially as praise.As Al advances. concerns grow about systems potentially escaping control.However,current Al remains inefficient,needing city-scale power and endless data.A fruit fly,powered by rotting food,outperforms Al in tasks like navigation-skills employed in self-driving cars. Combing evolutionary insights with human creativity might birth a new era of "electronic brains",pushing neural evolution forward.Yet this raises a major question: will human brains and bodies still matter on this journey?For now,the concerns are too early-but the horizon is uncertain. 28.The first paragraph is mainly about brains' A.origin B.diversity C.importance D.development 29.What sets the recent research apart from previous ones?

D.To stress the advantage of brains. 高二英语试题第6可（共12面） D Maslow said,“If you have a hammer(锤子)，then everything you'll see is a nail." Basically,when we are given a specific tool or skill,we tend to be influenced by its function.This may lead to the loss of unexpected thinking and solutions. Dr Sean Brady is an engineer in Brisbane,Australia,who specializes in investigating the causes of engineering failures.Brady tells the story of a US fire- fighting team known as the“Smoke Jumpers'”who were parachuted(空投)in to deal with a wildfire in Montana's Mann Gulch in August 1949. The leader,Wagner Dodge,was to make sure that his team of 14 firefighters put out the fire and got out safely.When Dodge caught sight of the ridge,he calculated that they were likely to get stuck.In an act of"desperate creativity",he pulled out matches,crucked one and lit up the grass in front of him to create what would be called an "escape fire".He screamed out to his team to lie down in the burnt ash.But his team members continued to run. Their equipment was way too heavy to run with and Dodge gave the order to drop all,but many of them didn't.It took five minutes for the fire to burn across Dodge's position.He stood up pretty much unhurt but 13 of the men died in the valley that day.It is striking that even when faced with a life-threatening situation,the Smoke Jumpers cannot give up their own expertise temporarily to recognize the opportunity of the escape route Dodge offers them.They are wedded to their tools and what they know. The question is if our expertise is not appropriate or the tools we have are not going to solve the problem,do we accept this and consider other options?Sean Brady highlights that we are more likely to ignore the facts and behave unwisely.We trust in the tools that we know well whether they are the best ones for the job or not. 32.How does the author develop the passage? A.By giving an example. B.By making comparison. C.By giving facts. D.By listing data. 33.What can we infer from the wildfire disaster mentioned in the passage? A.The leader misjudged the situation. B.The team lacked efficient teamwork. C.13 members died of too heavy equipment. D.Wagner Dodge survived in an unusual way. 34.What does the underlined word "wedded"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Exposed. B.Devoted. C.Stuek. D.Opposed. 高二英希试题第7页（共12页） 35.Which of the following isasuitle ite for the text?
