In Japan,the "Seijin no Hi"(Coming of Age Day)is a national holiday.Young people who have turned 20 during the previous year attend local ceremonies dressed in elaborate,often rented,formal attire-women in stunning furisode (long-sleeved kimonos)and men in dark suits or traditional montsuki haori.While this practice has been preserved for decades,the scale and commercialization have grown.Nowadays,it's common to see groups of friends renting professional photographers for "pre-ceremony"photoshoots in studios or at picturesque locations,a practice that reflects the influence of modern social media culture. Conversely,in the Satere-Mawe tibe of the Brazilian Amazon,the transition to manhood involves a far more physically arduous ritual.Young boys must wear a glove filled with stinging bullet ants for several minutes,enduring intense pain.This ritual,which is believed to prepare them for the hardships of adult life,is increasingly being questioned by younger generations exposed to the outside world.The tribe faces a dilemma:how to preserve a sacred tradition that instills resilience while acknowledging the changing values and sensitivities brought about by multiculturalism and global connectivity. The article concludes that traditions are not static,but living and evolving.The Seijin no Hi ceremony, while deeply rooted in Shinto and Confucian values of respect for elders and community responsibility, now also represents a moment of personal branding and social media opportunity.The Satere-Mawe ritual,on the other hand,is under pressure to adapt or risk being abandoned.This contrast highlights a central tension in the modem world:the desire to honor ancestral customs versus the powerful forces of globalization and individual choice.The most successful traditions,it seems,are those that can find a new balance between their sacred,original meaning and their contemporary relevance. ()1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A.To define what a"coming-of-age"ceremony is. B.To compare Western and Japanese coming-of-age traditions C.To introduce a new phenomenon in how these ceremonies are evolving D.To argue that structured rituals are disappearing from Western cultures. ()2.The phrase"has been preserved for decades"(Paragraph 2)indicates that the core practice of Seijin no Hi is A.in danger of being lost B.a very recent invention C.threatened by commercialization D.kept alive over a long period ()3.What dilemma does the Satere-Mawe tribe face according to the text? A.Their young men are no longer strong enough to endure the ritual. B.They must decide how to balance tradition with modern influences. C.The increasing popularity of their ritual is harming the environment. D.The government is forcing them to abandon their sacred practices. ()4.What is the author's overall message about traditions in the final paragraph? A.Traditions are becoming less meaningful in the modern world. B.Ancient traditions are always better than modern celebrations. C.The survival of traditions depends on their ability to change. D.The most sacred traditions cannot and should not be adapted. Passage B The annual Spring Festival,or Chinese New Year,is undoubtedly the most important traditional holiday in China.Its customs,such as family reunion dinners,giving red envelopes (hongbao),and setting off firecrackers,are deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric.However,in an age of rapid urbanization and rising multiculturalism,the way these customs are performed is undergoing a significant,and sometimes subtle,transformation. One of the most visible changes is the evolution of the hongbao.While the physical red envelope, often decorated with gold characters symbolizing good fortune,remains a staple,it now coexists with its digital counterpart.Through mobile payment apps like WeChat and Alipay,people can send virtual hongbao to fiiends and family across the globe instantly.This digital transition allows for a new kind of social interaction,such as group red envelope games,which add an element of fun and chance to the tradition.This shift doesn't represent a loss of the tradition's core meaning-which is to convey blessings and good luck-but rather an adaptation to a modem,mobile lifestyle.The responsibility to pass on good wishes remains,only the method of execution has changed. Another significant adaptation involves the ancient custom of setting off firecrackers.Traditionally believed to scare away evil spirits,the practice has faced increasing restrictions in major Chinese cities due to concerns about air pollution,noise,and safety.In response,many people have turned to electronic firecrackers which produce the same sounds and lights without the smoke and hazards. Others have shifted their focus to more environmentally fiiendly decorations,such as couplets (duilian) and paper-cuts,which are sacred symbols of hope and festivity.This shows a remarkable ability to prioritize civic duty-the well-being of the community and the environment-while tying to preserve the spirit of the festival. Furthermore,the concept of the family reunion dinner is also being redefined.For generations,the duty to retumn to one's hometown for the New Year's Eve feast was non-negotiable.However,with young professionals living in distant cities and the increasing frequency of intemnational travel,a "reunion"can now take various forms.Some families organize vacations at a resort,while others use video conferencing to include members who cannot travel.The core value-family unity-has become more flexible in its form,ensuring the tradition remains meaningful even as the physical representation of a home-cooked meal in a specific house changes.These examples demonstrate that the Spring Festival is not a static relic but a dynamic cultural force capable of integrating modern elements to maintain its central role in Chinese society. ()5.How does the author describe the change in the hongbao tradition? A.It is being completely replaced by digital money B.Its spiritual meaning has been lost C.Its form has adapted,but its purpose remains D.It is now only popular among young people. ()6.What does the shift from traditional to electronic firecrackers reveal? A.People are abandoning an important tradition B.The government is ignoring cultural heritage. C.The core of a tradition can be maintained in a new form. D.Environmental concerns are more important than tradition ()7.According to the passage,what is a key factor in the survival of traditions like the Spring Festival? A.Stict adherence to original customs. B.The rejection of any foreign influence. C.The ability to adapt to contemporary values and situations. D.A focus on the most visible aspects of the festival. ()8.What is the best title for this passage? A.The Decline of Chinese New Year B.Modern Threats to Ancient Customs C.The Evolution of Spring Festival Traditions D.The Global Spread of Hongbao 二、完形填空 Every culture has its own unique rituals to mark the passage from youth to adulthood.In the village of Buna,in Papua New Guinea,this transition is a particularly intense and secretive affair.For young boys of the Kanu tribe,reaching the age of about 12 means it is time for their initiation ceremony,a sacred process that will define their entry (1)manhood. The ceremony,which lasts for several weeks,is not a single event but a series of challenging tests.The first stage involves the boys being separated from their mothers and the village women.This is a deeply emotional moment,as it symbolizes the end of their (2).They must learn to live in a men's house,(3) a new set of responsibilities.Their former childishness is no longer tolerated;they must show (4)and obedience to the village elders. The most difficult test is the "Tolai"ritual.The boys must undergo a painful process of scarification, where deep cuts are made on their skin.The elders(5)this ceremony,using shaip stones and bamboo.The scars are not seen as injuries,but as a permanent and proud (6)of their courage and their new status.The pain is a lesson;they are taught that a man must be able to withstand physical hardship to fulfill his (7)as a protector of his family and community. Following the physical trials,the boys are taught the tibe's sacred knowledge.They learn about their history,hunting skills,and their specific civic duties within the tribe's social structure.During this time,they are also taught tribal laws and the importance of(8)their elders.The elders emphasize that they now have a duty to the community,not just to themselves.They learn that their actions must now be guided by a strong sense of(9) At the end of the initiation,the young men are(10) back into the village as new members of the adult community.The women of the village welcome them with singing and dancing, acknowledging their (11)from childhood to adulthood.This elaborate ceremony serves a crucial role.It not only marks a personal milestone for the individual but also strengthens the entire tribe's cultural identity in an age of increasing (12) and external influence. 1.A.for B.into C.from D.at 2.A.adulthood B.ceremony C.childhood D.trial 3.A.avoiding B.rejecting C.ignoring D.accepting 4.A.childishness B.courage C.weakness D.laziness 5.A.perform B.cancel C.question D.enjoy 6.A.shame B.symbol C.problem D.fear 7.A.privilege B.hobby C.duty D.dream 8.A.cheating B.respecting C.punishing D.forgetting 9.A.responsibility B.relaxation C.entertainment D.confusion 10.A.hidden B.sent C.welcomed D.chased 11.A.danger B.distance C.difference D.transition 12.A.unity B.multiculturalism C.agreement D.peace 三、阅读短文回答问题 In many societies,the transition from childhood to adulthood is not a sudden event but a gradual process marked by specific milestones.However,in the digital age,the definition of "adulthood"is becoming increasingly fluid.While traditional markers like getting a driver's license,voting,or graduating from university still hold value,a new set of milestones has emerged,particularly in the realm of online independence. A recent study conducted by Dr.Alice Morgan,a sociologist at the University of London,suggests that for many young people in developed countries,the concept of "digital adulthood"is as significant as legal adulthood.The study found that managing one's own online presence,making independent purchases through e-commerce platforms,and navigating digital financial tools like banking apps are now seen as key transitions.This creates a new kind of responsibility that was unimaginable for previous generations. One of the most compelling findings was related to the concept of "digital civic duty."The research showed that young adults who actively manage their own digital identities often have a stronger sense of online social responsibility.They are more likely to engage in respectful debates on social media and critically evaluate online information,viewing this not as a pastime but as a necessary duty for a functioning digital society.This contrasts sharply with the carefree,sometimes reckless,online behavior often associated with teenagers,suggesting that "digital maturity"is a real and observable phenomenon. However,Dr.Morgan warns that this new pathway to adulthood is not without its challenges.Unlike the clear-cut ceremonies and rituals of many indigenous cultures,the transition to digital adulthood is often invisible and self-directed.There is no elder guiding the process,no sacred text to leamn from. This lack of structured guidance can lead to problems,such as exposing young people to online scams, privacy violations,or issues related to financial mismanagement.The study concludes that while society has long established civic education for physical-world responsibilities,there is a growing need for a similar framework of "digital citizenship"education to help guide young people through this modem,often complex,passage into the adult digital world. Questions: 1.What does the study by Dr.Alice Morgan mainly focus on? 2.According to the passage,what is one example of a new milestone for"digital adulthood"? 3.How does the concept of"digital civic duty"differ from the online behavior of teenagers? 4.What problem does the author identify regarding the transition to digital adulthood? 5.What solution does the author imply is needed to help young people navigate this new transition? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The transition firom adolescence to (1) is a complex journey.In modern society,a person must take on new (2) and (3) many tasks for the first time. However,a new and challenging aspect has emerged:the "digital adult"must also manage their own online presence.This isn't just a matter of social media;it involves (4) responsibilities like critically evaluating information to avoid spreading misinformation.This new duty requires a high level of (5) Without a clear (6) _or ritual to guide them,young people must find their own way.Unlike traditional rites of passage,this digital transition lacks a(7) framework or guidance from elders.The journey is often an individual one,where the (8) into the online world is not a single event but a gradual process. This situation highlights the importance of(9) education,not just in the traditional sense,but in the sense of navigating different online "cultures"and viewpoints.Understanding different perspectives is part of a young person's(10) helping them to build a more tolerant and informed online community.Ultimately,this new (11) of adulthood requires a new kind of education-one that prepares young people for both their physical and digital civic duties. 五、写作 假设你是高一新生李华，你所在的国际学校正在举办以“My First Impression of High School”为 题的征文活动。请你写一篇英文短文投稿，内容包括： 1.你对新学校的第一印象（环境、同学、老师等）： 2.开学以来你遇到的挑战或感悟： 3.你对未来高中生活的期待。 要求： 1.词数120-150词； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯： 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Editor, My First Impression of High School As a freshman,my first impression of our school was a mix of awe and anxiety.
