Tom's brother,Jack,decided to head to the trail (and look for him. When Jack arrived,he found Tom's backpack on the side of the trail,but there was no sign of Tom himself.Tom's family became even more anxious.His mother kept picturing him lost and alone,wondering if he was cold,scared,or even injured.She felt helpless,knowing she couldn't protect her son.His father,on the other hand,struggled to remain calm,reassuring his wife while silently fearing the worst. As midnight approached,Tom's family decided it was time to call for professional help. The search team arrived swiftly,equipped with flashlights and heat-sensitive cameras,and began combing the trail.Tom,down the hill with an injured ankle,lay in the dark,battling waves of doubt.As the cold night deepened,he questioned if anyone would find him,feeling small and defenceless against the vast wilderness.He turned his flashlight on and off,hoping 高二英语试卷第4页（供10页） someone would notice the weak light,holding on to the last bit of hope he had. Finally,at dawn,the team spotted him about a mile from the main path.Seeing the rescuers approach,Tom's relief washed over him,and his worries melted away.His family was overjoyed when they saw him,their worst fears replaced by deep thankfulness and newfound appreciation for each other. Later,when asked about how he made it through the long,dark hours alone,Tom shared that it was the thought of his family that kept him going.For him,holding onto the hope of reuniting with them was his only choice in the vast,lonely wilderness. 24.Why did Tom's mother feel helpless during the night?

AI is undeniably transforming our daily routines and cultural practices by automating routine tasks and reshaping societal interactions.In many homes,AI-driven devices control various functions,from climate control to meal planning and house cleaning.These technologies enhance convenience,streamline housework,and reduce the reliance on manual 高二英语试卷第5页（供10页） (tasks.Experts note that while these advancements simplify life,they also decrease traditional skills,such as cooking and home maintenance that were once passed down through generations. In the field of education,Al tools are increasingly customizing learning experiences, potentially transforming traditional classroom dynamics.While AI allows for personalized assignments and feedback tailored to each student's learning pace and style,it also reduces face-to-face interactions between students and teachers.This shift can block students' understanding of complex concepts due to the lack of direct feedback and communication, potentially weakening teachers'ability to detect and address learning difficulties in real time. Research indicates that when AI systems automate tasks like grading homework and tests, the direct communication between students and teachers significantly decreases.This reduction in personal interaction can affect students'problem-solving abilities in environments without technological support,highlighting a critical downside to the growing reliance on AI in education. Dr.Michael Evans,a cultural studies expert,discusses the broader cultural implications of Al.He points out that technological advancements are replacing many activities that once required human interaction,which could potentially weaken community bonds and reduce opportunities for social engagement.Cultural heritage ()expert Dr.Linda Choi further expands on the integration of AI into various aspects of life,stating,"As artificial intelligence continues to spread throughout every aspect of our existence,it stimulates a broader reflection on its implications for cultural heritage and social relationships.The challenge lies in employing technology to enhance productivity while preserving valuable cultural norms and practices.” At the end of the day,as Jessica's AI assistant suggests a new recipe for dinner,she considers reconnecting with her grandmother,realizing that it's not just about the food,but also about the family bonds. 28.The author mentions Jessica's routine in Paragraph 1 mainly to A.contrast old and new family customs B.emphasize the simplicity of housework C.demonstrate the influence of AI on daily life D.suggest a more efficient way to manage family 29.According to passage,which of the following can be inferred about AI in education? A.It makes classroom methods more effective. B.It decreases the need for human teachers in classrooms. C.It helps students understand complex topics with personalized feedback. D.It reduces students'problem-solving abilities in real time without AI support. 高二英语试卷第6页共10页) 30.What can be concluded from the passage? A.AI becomes a key tool in preserving cultural norms. B.AI should be avoided in daily life to protect cultural heritage. C.AI strengthens cultural bonds by simplifying traditional practices. D.AI poses a challenge to cultural heritage by replacing human engagement. 31.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.How Is AI Shaping Daily Life? B.Is AI Replacing Traditional Skills? C.Will AI Transform Education Forever? D.How Is AI Impacting Cultural Heritage? D In recent years,new research has led scientists to question the accuracy of the widely accepted"Out of Africa"theory,which suggests that all modern humans originated from a single group that left Africa around 60,000 years ago.While this theory has been supported by numerous genetic and fossil (studies,alternative ideas suggest that human development may have been far more complex,involving multiple regions rather than a single migration 徙)wave from Africa.. One alternative view is the“Multi-regional Hypothesis(假说).”This hypothesis suggests that early human populations in Africa,Asia,and Europe developed relatively independently but experienced substantial gene flow between regions.According to this idea,Homo sapiens (did not emerge only in Africa but instead formed gradually across regions through the exchange of genetic material.This concept is backed by fossil evidence from Asia,such as skulls and bones found in China and Indonesia,which differ from African remains but are anatomically (similar to modern humans.These fossils are over 100,000 years old- much older than what would be expected if humans only spread from Africa around 60,000 years ago. Furthermore,recent DNA studies have found genetic material in modern non-African populations does not match any known African lineages,suggesting that ancient humans mated with other groups in Eurasia,such as Neanderthals and Denisovans.For example,Neanderthal DNA is discovered in both European and Asian populations but devoid in most sub-Saharan African populations,challenging the timeline proposed by the "Out of Africa"theory. Additionally,research indicates that Denisovan DNA appears only in Melanesian and some Southeast Asian populations,suggesting these regional exchanges were not part of a single, linear migration. Adding to the debate is the discovery of ancient tools and artifacts in Asia and Europe that predate the supposed migration from Africa.These findings imply that early humans may have left Africa in multiple waves or even developed advanced cultural practices independently 高二英语试卷第7页（共10页） outside Africa.Some scientists now believe that humanity's origins involve multiple migrations, with groups moving in and out of Africa at different times,contributing to the genetic diversity we see today. Although the"Out of Africa"theory remains influential,these findings invite us to rethink human evolution ()It is inoreasingly likely that modern humans arose not from a single migration but from interconnected populations across several continents,reflecting a far richer and more complex evolutionary history. 32.Why does the author mention fossil evidence from Asia? A.To argue that modern humans developed in Africa. B.To provide proof for the Multi-regional Hypothesis. C.To question the existence of gene flow between regions. D.To highlight the age of fossils compared to African remains 33.What does the underlined word"devoid"in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Present.B.Obtained. C.Absent. D.Ignored. 34.What does the author aim to express in the last paragraph? A.Modern human evolution was a linear process. B.The"Out of Africa"theory has been disproven. C.Human origins are more complex than once thought. D.The genetic diversity of modern humans originated in Africa. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people struggle with time management,especially when handling multiple tasks.To manage time effectively,it's important to set priorities and develop a realistic plan that suits your needs.35 This improves efficiency and reduces the stress of feeling overloaded. Setting clear,achievable goals is another crucial step in managing time effectively. 36One practical way to improve these skills is by creating a daily or weekly schedule.A well-organized schedule helps you track deadlines and distribute specific time for each task.By sticking to your plan,you avoid last-minute pressure and ensure steady progress toward your goals. However,effective time management isn't just about creating a schedule.37 In today's digital world,constant notifications and social media can easily distract us.Reducing time spent on these distractions can free up valuable hours each day.Setting aside blocks of uninterrupted time for focused goals can significantly boost productivity and maintain concentration. 高二英语试卷第8页（共10页） Some people find that using a timer,such as the Pomodoro Technique,helps them stay focused.38After each phase,you take a short break to refresh your mind.This approach helps to maintain high levels of concentration and prevents burnout. Good time management is a habit that requires patience and practice.39 Unexpected events can occur,and being adaptable ensures that you can handle changes without losing focus.Over time,you'll find it easier to stay organized,meet deadlines,and make the most of each day. A.Another key aspect is avoiding distractions. B.Thus,effective time management skills are essential. C.This technique involves working in 25-minute intervals. D.It's also helpful to group tasks based on their importance. E.Many people prefer using digital tools to manage their time. F.However,it's important to remain flexible with your plans and adapt.

The first few days,I took pictures of everything-the sky,my friends,even my shoes! Every click of the camera seemed like a chance to preserve a moment,but after a week,I began to notice that many of the photos seemed repetitive.They didn't have the same magic expected, and I felt disappointed.It was then that I recognised that just taking pictures wasn't enough. One day,I decided to focus on photographing moments meaningful to me.I started taking pictures of the people I loved,the places I visited,and even little details that had personal significance.The more I did this,the more I learned that photography isn't just about taking pictures-it's about telling a story,recording memories that matter.I could see the difference in my pictures:they started to reflect moments that were special to me,not just random images. A few years later,I came across an old collection of photographs from my grandparents.I was deeply attracted.Some of them were taken during their travels,while others preserved simple moments at home.These images were full of life and meaning,just like the ones I had been trying to take. I realised that photography has always been a powerful tool for preserving history and emotions.My grandparents had used it in the same way I did:not just to take pictures,but to treasure moments that could never be relived and things that words alone couldn't express. 高二英语试卷第9页（共10页）
