answer to each of the questions.
A leading question among anthropologists is: what exactly led to the development of human cities?
Basically, modern humans have existed on earth for over 100,000 years. Yet it is only in the last 8,000 years
that they have begun to gather in significant numbers and form cities. Prior to that period, humans existed in
small family or tribal groups, generally consisting of fewer than 100 individuals. What, then, led humans to
make the dramatic shift from living in small groups to living in large, organized cities? It seems that the
development of cities required a particular set of circumstances.
First, it required a minimum population density. For much of their early history, humans existed only
in small numbers. This is due to the fact that early humans relied on hunting and gathering wild foods for
their survival. Even the most fertile land would only support a relatively small number of predators, so it
was not until humans began to practice agriculture that they were able to gather in large enough numbers to
form cities.
Furthermore, the development of a city could only be possible if a large number of people shared a
common language, culture and religion. Without such unifying factors, a cooperative, peaceful existence
among large numbers of people would have been impossible.
Finally, it seems that early humans needed to be faced with a large problem, which one small group
of individuals could not solve on its own. Only when large-scale cooperation was needed to overcome a
problem would humans come together to form cities.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are increasingly prevalent in business and
society; besides, they have been applied to education. These technologies have the potential to transform
many aspects of the teaching - learning process.
Basic activities in education like grading can be automated with the help of AI. At educational
institutes, marking a large number of tests and assignments is tedious work. Teachers often find that
grading takes up a considerable amount of time which can be used to interact with students and prepare for
class. AI, at present, may not be able to actually replace human grading; however, it's getting pretty close.
Nearly all kinds of multiple choice and fill-in-the blank testing can now be performed by Al-driven
machines, and automated grading of student writing may not be far behind. Essay-grading softwares are still
in their infancy, yet they will be fully developed over the coming years, allowing teachers to focus more on
classroom activities and professional development.
Learners can also get additional support from AI. For instance, tutoring programs based on artificial
intelligence already exist to help students with basic courses of mathematics, writing, foreign language, etc.
With the rapid pace of technological advancement in recent years, sophisticated tutoring systems which can
help students learn high order thinking and stimulate their creativity will not be a pipe dream. Moreover,
Al programs can give learners useful feedback and assistance. Some schools, especially those with online
courses, are using AI systems to monitor students' progress. These systems not only offer students advice on
individual courses but also help students choose majors in accordance with areas where they succeed or
struggle.
For better or worse, AI systems have taken place in certain types of classroom activities. In the next
decades, their influences will extend significantly, which offers both teacher and students a much wider
range of services.
