C Two thousand years ago,lemurs(孤s猴)，the size of humans,and giant“elephant birds'”wandered through Madagascar.A thousand years later,they were nearly gone.Now,a new study has figured out the mystery of their extinction. The new study can be traced back to 2012 when Jean-Aime Rakotoarisoa and a group of researchers created the Madagascar Genetic and Ethnolinguistic project to study the long-debated question of the ancestry()of the Malagasy,the island's major native ethnic group.Though Madagascar is located about 425 kilometers off the east coast of Africa,the Malagasy language is similar to the Austronesian languages spoken 7,000 kilometers across the Indian Ocean.There's long been a question about when and how people came to Madagascar,and how they influenced the large-bodied animals,their extinction including giant lemurs,elephant birds and turtles. Between 2012 and 2019,the team traveled to 257 villages around the island.They collected saliva (samples and musical,linguistic,and other social science data.In the new study,the scientists genetically analyzed the saliva and used a computer program to model Malagasy ancestry and estimate how it changed over generations. They found the modern Malagasy population originates from a small ancestral Asian population. By 1,000 years ago,this small group had made it to the island.Other studies have found that at the same time,the population of Madagascar increased dramatically and that the lifestyle of the people changed as well.Before that,humans had lived alongside animals and hunted in small groups.Then, they built large settlements,planted rice,and raised cattle in the field,archaeological evidence shows. The researchers believe the population growth and these changes,paired with a hotter and drier climate,likely led to the disappearance of the giant creatures.The researchers agree that it took about 100 years,but they believe the changing climate played less of a role. Understanding humans'role in the Madagascar extinction is urgent today,especially as modern giants such as elephants and rhinoceroses are threatened.We need to know what causes major changes, so we can save ourselves from a potentially terrible future. 28.Why did Jean-Aime Rakotoarisoa carry out a project in 2012? A.To set up a language database. B.To learn about the evolution of lemurs. 【高二4月份期中调研测试·英语第4页（共8页）】 C.To find out the mystery of the Malagasy. D.To assist native ethnic groups in conserving wildlife. 29.Why did the researchers study the Malagasy language? A.To see how many people spoke it. B.To compare it with other African languages. C.To understand how the Malagasy learned it well. D.To know how and when the Malagasy got to Madagascar. 30.Which may greatly influence the survival of giant creatures in Madagascar? A.Changes in the climate of the island. B.The conflict between Asian people and the native people. C.Hunting practices of humans living alongside the animals. D.The increasing population and the people's activities. 31.What can be implied from the last paragraph? A.History should be taken as a mirror. B.Don't put your eggs in one basket. C.Rome is not built in one day. D.It's never too late to learn. D DeepSeek was a name that,until recently,was unknown even to the most enthusiastic followers of Al 露 technology.It has rapidly become a household name,shocking the world with its powerful AI chatbot,an unexpected achievement from Asia as the world continues to adopt this revolutionary technology. Widely used across China as a virtual assistant and source of quick information,DeepSeek has become an overnight hit,with young people increasingly turning to the chatbot for therapy and mental health support,creating a new cultural phenomenon. What has sparked global interest in particular is that it has been produced for just a small amount of the cost of its Western rivals,such as OpenAI's ChatGPT. 如 The surprising popularity of DeepSeek has affected international markets,causing share prices of chip company Nvidia to drop dramatically and causing a wake-up call for Western AI firms. DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng,like many other Big Tech CEOs,has an academic background from a top university.He graduated in computer science and electronic information engineering from Zhejiang University and also has experience in finance.Liang's background has positioned DeepSeek to compete effectively with US rivals like ChatGPT,influencing stock markets and shaking confidence among industry leaders. DeepSeek was created at just a small amount of the cost,casting doubt on the value of high-performance chips needed for such technology.Chip makers like Nvidia saw their share prices fall sharply as a result.DeepSeek's cost-effective power comes from an efficient technique called Reinforcement Learning,or RL,a machine learning method that allows Al to learn and make decisions through trial and error to achieve the most suitable results. Despite DeepSeek's initial success,it is important that a country's self-dependence does not lead to technological isolationism(ft孤立主义).Sam Altman,CEO of US-based OpenAI,stated in a recent 2 interview that he would like to work with China.Progressing such an important technology together is not only beneficial for both parties but also ensures that regulation()of AI's power can be carried out with universal standards.Open-source community learning could also help other nations advance their AI development.India has fallen behind China and the US in the AI race,with problems ranging from lack of capital,with a mere $1 billion compared to $500 billion in the US Stargate project,to a diverse range of languages that all need high-quality data sets. 32.Which can replace the underlined word "rivals"in paragraph 3?

They'd scored the game-winning goal just a few seconds before the end of the game. "Just one word to describe a loss like that,Mark said to his teammate Bill. "Terrible!"Bill sighed."It was a tough one."Bill ran toward the middle of the field to shake hands with the winning team.Mark walked slowly behind Bill.He unhappily shook hands with the winners,and then shut his eyes as the spring air cooled his sweaty face. "Unbelievable,"he repeated to himself as he sat on the bench and pulled his jacket on."Let's get some hot chocolate and watch the next game,"Bill said.There were eight teams in the YMCA league, ☒ so games would go on all the morning."Sorry.I'm heading home,"Mark said,"I've had enough soccer for today.” As he reached the gate,Mark looked back to see the next two teams take the field.They were jumping and shouting,excited to play."That was us a little while ago,before we were discouraged." Mark thought. "So why have we lost the game?"Mark asked himself."How did such a well-played game end up with such a terrible result?"It was still clear in his head:Mark had the ball deep on the opponent's side of the field,trying to pass the ball to Bill or another teammate.His team had performed much better than the other team for most of the game,but failed within the last several seconds. Mark let out a deep breath.The morning was growing warmer.Perfect for soccer.Mark looked back toward the field again.He couldn't see it,but he could hear the excited voices as the game continued.Then it occurred to him that his friends Kevin and John would participate in the football match that morning,too. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Mark was walking out of the stadium,he saw a car stop by the side of the road.
