In poker, the value of the cards in your hand is often less important than what your competitors think you might hold. You don’t need a royal flush (同花顺) as long as you can convince others you have one.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, knows this well, having played poker extensively during his student days. Following the huge success of its generative artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, the company has convinced many supporters that it holds all the aces (王牌), telling the world that size is the key to progress and that investing in this will receive big rewards. On January 21, 2025, Altman announced Star Gate, a $500-billion plan to build vast data centres for future AI models. As he said in an interview in 2023, “It’s totally hopeless to compete with us.”
But the Chinese AI firm DeepSeek now looks to have challenged his claim. It has sent shock waves through Silicon Valley over the past two weeks with the release of AI models that are apparently as capable as OpenAI’s best, but at a much lower price and computational power.
This young upstart, with less than a tenth as many employees as OpenAI, has punctured the jdea that U.S. companies hold some secret recipe for building AI or that they need such huge resources to do so.
For those concerned about the accumulation of power in Silicon Valley, the arrival of competition is welcome. Its arrival on the scene suggests there are huge innovations in generative AI yet to come. Plus, cheaper models that require less computational power should open the door to entirely new applications for the technology, which may also make it affordable to more people and less damaging to the planet.
The success of Chinese firm DeepSeek suggests tech companies can train and run powerful AIs without consuming vast amounts of power.
4. What is the main factor to control the AI market according to Sam Altman
A. Competition. B. Innovation. C. Scale. D. Intelligence.
5. How does DeepSeek challenge U.S. company’s leading position
A. By urging people to invest in its company.
B. By exposing U.S. company’s technical secret.
C. By applying huge resources to computational power.
D. By developing competitive AI models at a much lower cost.
6. What does the underlined word “punctured” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Accepted. B. Broken. C. Ignored. D. Supported.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Much to prove yet. B. All to play for. C. Everything to fight for. D. More to achieve ahead.
C
Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest unofficial holiday in America. It’s a time for friends and family to gather for food, chatter and arguments. But some people living on the edge of society miss that special connection.
Meir Kalmanson thought they should get to celebrate the big day. So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he hurried to his friend’s Super Bowl party, he invited six homeless men he met on the street into his car to join him. As expected, the men were a bit cautious. But Kalmanson has a sincere and born good nature that puts people at ease. Watch the game Get food to fill an empty belly Of course!
Over burgers, chicken wings and soda, and dressed in New England Patriots jerseys, Kalmanson and his homeless guests watched the game. Kalmanson describes the scene as “warm, exciting energy. Conversation flowed. We were on the seats, cheering, and laughing.”
“We were part of a bigger party that was happening,”says Kalmanson. “So, if you walked in, you couldn’t tell who was homeless and who wasn’t.” As a result, “the men felt that they were part of something. They had their dignity restored.” For that evening, they were no longer outsiders. They belonged.
The Super Bowl party was not just a one-off. The next year Kalmanson set up the charitable organization: Super Soul Parties. With the help of a volunteer network and homeless shelters, Kalmanson organizes the gatherings and provides rides for guests on game days in cities around the country. Last year, more than 2,000 homeless men and women in 36 cities watched the Los Angeles Rams take the Cincinnati Bengals.
Homeless people now have access to new clothing and barbers as well as mental health therapists and affordable housing organizations. Families are also welcome. Ultimately, Super Soul Parties are more than a sporting event. They’re opportunities to bring awareness to the hardship of the homeless while making them feel a part of a larger community.
8. What happened when Kalmanson headed for the Super Bowl party
A. He came across some friends. B. He missed his car.
C. He had some street men join him. D. He chatted with his friends.
9 Why did the men accept Kalmanson’s invitation
A. Because they trusted his sincerity and kindness. B. Because they wanted to escape the cold weather.
C. Because they expected to be accepted by society. D. Because they desired to follow the Super Bowl tradition.
10. What is the main idea of paragraph 5
A. Kalmanson helps homeless shelters transport guests.
B. Super Soul Parties offer shelters throughout the country.
C. Kalmanson turns the party into a national charity in 36 cities.
D. Super Soul Parties host parties for the homeless nationwide.
11. Which of the following words best describe Kalmanson
A. Kind and thoughtful. B. Daring and demanding.
C. Humble and creative. D. Easygoing and forgiving.
D
A major ice shelf in Antarctica appears to have survived a period of hot temperatures more than 120,000 years ago, indicating that West Antarctic ice sheets may not be as much at risk as we thought. “It’s good news and it’s bad news,” says Eric Wolf at the University of Cambridge, UK. “We didn’t get the worst case. But I can’t say this wouldn’t happen in the next century or two.”
Wolff and his colleagues observed the Ronne ice shelf, a large section of the ice sheet that extends into the ocean, to see how it behaved between 117,000 and 126,000 years ago. During that time, changes in Earth’s orbit raised Antarctic temperatures even higher than they are today.
To determine the extent of the Ronne ice shelf during that warm period, the researchers measured concentrations (浓度) of sea salt in an ice core drilled about 650 kilometres away from the shelf’s edge. If the ice shelf had melted during the warm period, its edge would have drawn closer to the core’s location. As a result, the researchers expected salt concentrations in the core would rise eight times during those years, because the core’s location would have been much closer to the open ocean.
Instead, they found salt concentrations were similar or even lower than those of today, indicating that the edge of the ice sheet remained far away. The ice’s stability at that time suggests a lower possibility that the West Antarctic ice sheet will fall apart as climate change drives up global temperatures. “It implies there was not a complete melting of western Antarctica, but it doesn’t give us enough information to relax,” says Wolff. “The survival of the Ronne ice shelf doesn’t mean that other areas of ice, like the Thwaites or Pine Island glaciers didn’t melt.”
The dynamics of warming in that warm period, which varied by region, are also different from global warming today, when temperatures are rising across the whole planet. For example, warmer ocean waters reaching Antarctica could speed up melt by advancing under the ice.
12. What happened around 120,000 years ago according to the first two paragraphs
A. The Ronne ice shelf disappeared. B. Antarctic was warmer than today.
C. Earth’s orbit was raised higher than today. D. West Antarctic ice sheets expanded.
13. Why did the researchers measure the salt concentration in the ice core
A. To define the range of the Ronne ice shelf. B. To calculate the density of ocean waters.
C. To analyze ancient ocean temperatures. D. To track the movement of the Ronne ice shelf.
14. What does the ice core salt concentration imply
A. Lower concentration indicates a larger shelf. B. Lower concentration causes a faster ice melting.
C. Higher concentration suggests a colder ocean. D. Higher concentration brings a warmer climate.
15. What does the survival of the Ronne ice shelf suggest
A. The ice in other regions remained stable.
B. The climate models were the same then as now.
C. The West Antarctic ice sheet is less likely to melt.
D. The most dangerous period of the West Antarctic ice sheet has passed.

Psychological well-being (心理健康) is more widely recognized, with more treatments and professionals involved. ____16____ Here are some helpful strategies for you to find the right support.
Examine the source. Social media gives everyone a platform to share information, which can be beneficial in normalizing problems with well-being. However, just because someone has their own experience of something you’re struggling with, does not mean they are experienced in working with this in others. ____17____
Analyse qualifications. While online courses and qualifications provide greater access to health industry training, much fake information still exists in the industry. ____18____ When approaching those who promote their professional support, seek easily available evidence of recognized qualifications, and make sure they’re willing to explain these to you.
____19____ In today’s quick-fix culture, we often expect problems to be treated with immediate effect. But we should be cautious about anything promising a speedy solution, or that sounds too good to be true. Human psychology is highly complex, and the patterns that tie each of us up in emotional knots are as invisible to us as water to a fish. It takes time to understand and change these.
There is no silver bullet. There is no single cure that can solve all of our problems, and those who claim that there is might be ignoring the complexity involved in being human. Surely, marketing campaigns will continue singing the praises of their products and services. ____20____ Instead, evaluate the options carefully according to your unique needs. This enables you to make informed choices for lasting well-being.
A. Don’t trust quick fixes.
B. However, it’s hard to know who to trust.
C. So watch out for the claim that one solution fits all.
D. This enables people to easily find qualified professionals.
E. This makes it difficult for people to know if a consultant is qualified.
F. Researching what actually qualifies someone to give advice is essential before taking it.
G. Many consultants have qualifications in psychology to handle various emotional problems.

In a small, sleepy town, there lived a kind-hearted but poor baker named Tom. Tom’s bakery was the heart of the community, a place where villagers gathered every morning. Tom worked long hours every day, yet his business barely brought him enough to make ends meet. But he never complained. Even on the toughest days, he would still greet each customer with a warm smile and a friendly word, always ready to offer a kind gesture or a listening ear.
One year, a severe drought hit the town and people began to struggle. Tom, seeing the sufferings of his neighbors, decided to do something. Every morning, he would bake extra loaves of bread and place them outside his bakery for anyone in need. People were grateful, but some took the bread without a word of thanks. Although some villagers said that Tom was such a fool, Tom never minded, just happy that he could give others a hand in the hardship.
On a cold, rainy evening, as Tom was closing his bakery, he noticed a young, ragged-looking man standing across the street, watching the bakery. The man had been there for several days, but he never took the free bread. Curious, Tom decided to find out why.
He walked over to the man and asked, “Why don’t you take the bread You look like you need it.” The man, whose name was Jack, replied, “I’m an artist. I’ve been down on my luck. But I don’t want to take charity. I want to earn my way.” Tom was touched by Jack’s pride. So Jack got a job in the bakery, helping with the baking and cleaning.
