He told his family he’d be back by nightfall, so when he didn’t return as expected, they became concerned. At around 8 p.m., they tried to reach him on his cell phone but received no response. Tom’s brother, Jack, decided to head to the trail (小径) 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 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? A. She was then unable to join the search. B. She didn’t know what was happening to Tom. C. She had a difficult time contacting the rescue team. D. She was worried about the cold weather in the mountains. 25. What made it difficult for Tom to get back on his own? A. He injured his ankle. B. He had lost his way. C. He caught a bad cold. D.

He used his flashlight to signal for help. 27. Which best represents the main idea of the story? A. Hope is the light in the darkest hour. B. After the storm comes the calm. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27.

She felt helpless, knowing she couldn’t protect her son.(当杰克到达时，他发现汤姆的背包在小路的一边，但没有汤姆自己的迹象。汤姆的家人变得更加焦虑。他的母亲一直想象着他迷路、孤独的样子，不知道他是冷了、害怕了，还是受伤了。她感到无助，知道自己保护不了儿子)”可知，因为她不知道汤姆出了什么事，所以在夜里感到无助。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“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.(汤姆脚踝受伤，躺在山下的黑暗中，心中涌动着阵阵疑虑。随着寒夜渐深，他怀疑自己是否还会被人找到，在这茫茫荒野中，他感到自己渺小而无助)”可知，汤姆脚踝受伤了，所以很难靠自己回来。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“He turned his flashlight on and off, hoping someone would notice the weak light, holding on to the last bit of hope he had.(他不停地打开又关闭手电筒，希望有人会注意到那微弱的光线，紧握着最后一丝希望)”可知，他用手电筒打求救信号，作为寻求帮助的最后努力。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段“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.(后来，当被问及他是如何独自度过漫长而黑暗的时光时，汤姆说，是对家人的思念让他坚持了下来。对他来说，在茫茫寂寞的荒野中，抱着与他们团聚的希望是他唯一的选择)”可知，本文主要讲述了汤姆在困境中坚持希望，最终获救，所以A项“希望是最黑暗时刻的光明”最能代表故事的主旨。故选A项。 C Every morning, Jessica is awakened by her Artificial intelligence assistant, which efficiently presents her day’s schedule and any important reminders. As she prepares for her day, her smart home system optimises (优化) the room temperature and makes her favourite coffee, providing a sense of comfort and ease. These conveniences reflect a shift from past routines, where families would gather around to discuss their plans, share stories, and pass down traditional knowledge, such as the secrets of making the perfect cup of coffee. 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 (手工的) 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, AI 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 AI. 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 (遗产) 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. 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? 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过Jessica的日常生活引入，讨论了人工智能对日常生活、文化传统及教育领域的影响，既提及了AI的便利，也指出了其可能带来的问题，如传统技能丧失、师生交流减少等。最后强调了在使用AI的同时要保护和传承文化规范的重要性。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Every morning, Jessica is awakened by her Artificial intelligence assistant, which efficiently presents her day’s schedule and any important reminders. As she prepares for her day, her smart home system optimises (优化) the room temperature and makes her favourite coffee, providing a sense of comfort and ease. These conveniences reflect a shift from past routines, where families would gather around to discuss their plans, share stories, and pass down traditional knowledge, such as the secrets of making the perfect cup of coffee.(每天早上，杰西卡都会被她的人工智能助手叫醒，它会高效地呈现出她一天的日程安排和任何重要的提醒。当她为一天做准备时，她的智能家居系统会优化房间温度，煮出她最喜欢的咖啡，给人一种舒适和轻松的感觉。这些便利反映了过去的日常生活的转变，在过去，家人会聚在一起讨论他们的计划，分享故事，并传承传统知识，比如制作一杯完美咖啡的秘诀)”可知，作者在第一段中提到Jessica的日常生活，主要是为了展示AI对日常生活的影响。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“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.(这种人际互动的减少可能会影响学生在没有技术支持的环境中解决问题的能力，这凸显了教育中越来越依赖人工智能的一个关键缺点)”可知，它降低了学生在没有人工智能支持的情况下实时解决问题的能力。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Cultural heritage (遗产) 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.”(文化遗产专家Linda Choi博士进一步阐述了人工智能与生活各个方面的融合，她说：“随着人工智能继续渗透到我们生活的方方面面，它激发了人们对其对文化遗产和社会关系的影响的更广泛思考。挑战在于利用技术来提高生产力，同时保留有价值的文化规范和做法。”)”可知，从文章中可以推知人工智能取代人类参与，会对文化遗产构成挑战。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“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 (手工的) 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.(不可否认，人工智能通过自动化日常任务和重塑社会互动，正在改变我们的日常生活和文化习俗。在许多家庭中，人工智能驱动的设备控制着各种功能，从气候控制到膳食计划和房屋清洁。这些技术提高了便利性，简化了家务，减少了对手工工作的依赖。专家指出，虽然这些进步简化了生活，但它们也削弱了传统技能，比如烹饪和家庭维护，这些传统技能曾经是代代相传的)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了人工智能可能带来的问题，如传统技能丧失、师生交流减少，以及在使用AI的同时要保护和传承文化规范的重要性，所以B项“Is AI Replacing Traditional Skills?(人工智能正在取代传统技能吗？)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 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 (化石) studies, alternative ideas suggest that human development may have been far more complex, involving multiple regions rather than a single migration (迁徙) 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 (智人) 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 (结构上) 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 60,000years 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 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 díversity we see today. Although the “Out of Africa” theory remains influential, these findings invite us to rethink human evolution (进化). It is increasingly 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. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章围绕人类起源的“走出非洲”理论及其替代观点“多地区假说”进行了深入的探讨和论述。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“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 (智人) 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 (结构上) 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 60,000years ago.(另一种观点是“多区域假说”，该假说认为，非洲、亚洲和欧洲早期人类相对独立地发展，但在地区之间经历了大量的基因流动。根据这一观点，智人不仅出现在非洲，而是通过遗传物质的交换逐渐形成的。这一概念得到了来自亚洲的化石证据的支持，比如在中国和印度尼西亚发现的头骨和骨头，它们与非洲的遗骸不同，但在解剖学上与现代人相似。这些化石有超过10万年的历史——如果人类只在6万年前从非洲传播开来，那么这些化石的历史要早得多)”可知，作者提到来自亚洲的化石证据，是为了为“多区域假说”提供证据。故选B项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Neanderthal DNA is discovered in both European and Asian populations(在欧洲和亚洲人群中都发现了尼安德特人的DNA)”、转折词“but”以及后文“ challenging the timeline proposed by the “Out of Africa” theory(这对‘走出非洲’理论提出的时间线提出了挑战，可知，在大多数撒哈拉以南非洲人口中没有发现尼安德特人的DNA，划线词所在句表达的意思是：在欧洲和亚洲人群中都发现尼安德特人的DNA，但是在大多数撒哈拉以南非洲人口中却没有，这对“走出非洲”理论提出的时间线提出了挑战；划线词devoid意为“不存在，没有”，与absent意思相近。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although the “Out of Africa” theory remains influential, these findings invite us to rethink human evolution (进化). It is increasingly 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.(尽管‘走出非洲’理论仍然具有影响力，但这些发现促使我们重新思考人类的进化。越来越有可能的是，现代人不是从一次迁徙中产生的，而是从几个大陆上相互联系的人群中产生的，这反映了一个更丰富、更复杂的进化史)”可知，作者在本段主要想表达人类的起源比以前认为的要复杂得多。故选C项。 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.

It was a special occasion because digital cameras were not common at that time. 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. 40. What did James Wilson do for a living? _______________________________________________________________________________ 41. What did the author do with the camera during the first few days? _______________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please underline the false part in the following statement and explain why. The author was attracted by the photographs of his grandparents because they were repetitive like his early pictures. _______________________________________________________________________________ 43. Do you have a photo that is really meaningful to you? Why is it special? (In about 40 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. James Wilson was a professional photographer. 41. He took pictures of everything. 42. The author was attracted by the photographs of his grandparents because they were repetitive like his early pictures. Because they were full of life and meaning. 43. I have a photo of my dog and me on a hike. It’s special because it captures a moment ofpure joy and companionship. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of the bond we share andthe adventures we’ve had. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与摄影结缘的过程，从最初获得相机时的兴奋，到拍照初期的尝试与失望，再到有意识地捕捉有意义瞬间的转变，最后通过祖父母的照片集领悟到摄影的深层意义。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“When I was in Grade 6, I got my first camera as a gift from my uncle, James Wilson, a professional photographer.(当我在六年级时候，我得到了我的第一台相机作为礼物，我的叔叔，詹姆斯·威尔逊，一个专业摄影师)”可知，詹姆斯·威尔逊是一名专业摄影师。故答案为James Wilson was a professional photographer. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“The first few days, I took pictures of everything — the sky, my friends, even my shoes!(最初的几天，我拍下了一切——天空，我的朋友，甚至我的鞋子！)”可知，作者在最初的几天里用相机拍下了一切。故答案为He took pictures of everything. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“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.(几年后，我偶然发现了祖父母的一组旧照片。我被深深地吸引住了。其中一些是在旅行中拍摄的，而另一些则是在家中拍摄的。这些照片充满了生命和意义，就像我一直试图拍摄的照片一样)”可知，作者被他祖父母的照片所吸引，因为这些照片充满了生命和意义，所以“The author was attracted by the photographs of his grandparents because they were repetitive like his early pictures.”这句话中“because they were repetitive like his early pictures”部分是错误的。故答案为The author was attracted by the photographs of his grandparents because they were repetitive like his early pictures. Because they were full of life and meaning. 【43题详解】 开放性试题。言之有理即可，注意词数限制。如：我有一张我和我的狗在远足的照片。它的特别之处在于它捕捉到了纯粹的快乐和陪伴的时刻。每次我看到它，它都让我想起我们之间的纽带和我们一起经历的冒险。故答案为I have a photo of my dog and me on a hike. It’s special because it captures a moment ofpure joy and companionship. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of the bond we share andthe adventures we’ve had. 第二节 (20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你因个人原因，错过了你和外国好友Jim约定的线上讨论活动。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1.表达歉意，解释原因； 2.提出弥补办法。 注意： 1.词数100字左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m very sorry for missing our planned online discussion.

B One evening, Tom Peterson decided to go on a hike in the mountains near his home. He told his family he’d be back by nightfall, so when he didn’t return as expected, they became concerned. At around 8 p.m., they tried to reach him on his cell phone but received no response. Tom’s brother, Jack, decided to head to the trail (小径) 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 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? A. She was then unable to join the search. B. She didn’t know what was happening to Tom. C. She had a difficult time contacting the rescue team. D. She was worried about the cold weather in the mountains. 25. What made it difficult for Tom to get back on his own? A. He injured his ankle. B. He had lost his way. C. He caught a bad cold. D. He felt small and defenceless. 26. What did Tom do as a last effort to seek help? A. He called his brother Jack. B. He tried to climb up the hill. C. He left his backpack on the trail. D. He used his flashlight to signal for help. 27. Which best represents the main idea of the story? A. Hope is the light in the darkest hour. B. After the storm comes the calm. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C Every morning, Jessica is awakened by her Artificial intelligence assistant, which efficiently presents her day’s schedule and any important reminders. As she prepares for her day, her smart home system optimises (优化) the room temperature and makes her favourite coffee, providing a sense of comfort and ease. These conveniences reflect a shift from past routines, where families would gather around to discuss their plans, share stories, and pass down traditional knowledge, such as the secrets of making the perfect cup of coffee. 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 (手工的) 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, AI 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 AI. 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 (遗产) 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. 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 (化石) studies, alternative ideas suggest that human development may have been far more complex, involving multiple regions rather than a single migration (迁徙) 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 (智人) 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 (结构上) 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 60,000years 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 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 díversity we see today. Although the “Out of Africa” theory remains influential these findings invite us to rethink human evolution (进化). It is increasingly 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.

It was a special occasion because digital cameras were not common at that time. 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. 40.
