The 19 Jin Dong asks her to “help” him make a movie. Similarly, unreal videos of Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, also cause trouble.

三、阅读理解
January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can solve math problems, write code (代码) and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s GPT-4, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of OpenAI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money.
DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8 points, slightly higher than OpenAI’s model. A simple version of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies.
DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta (a famous U.S. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.”
U.S. tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving that smart ideas beat expensive tools.
As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money.
31．DeepSeek-R1 can do all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．solve math problems B．write computer code C．replace human scientists D．answer questions
32．What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from other AIs in learning methods
A．It needs more prepared examples. B．It improves by itself through practice.
C．It can only solve math problems. D．It requires expensive computers.
33．Why are U.S. tech companies like Meta worried about DeepSeek-R1
A．Because it is too expensive. B．Because it performs worse than their AIs.
C．Because only Chinese people can use it. D．Because it is cheap and open-source, changing the AI competition.
34．What is the best title for this passage
A．“The High Cost of AI Development” B．“DeepSeek-R1: A Smart and Free AI”
C．“Why U.S. Tech Companies Are Worried” D．“How to Build an AI Like GPT-4”

五、任务型阅读
阅读并回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过10个词。
“What should I we call you ” I asked.
“My name is Captain Nemo,” he told us. “The name of my ship is Nautilus.”
Captain Nemo showed me the library, the art gallery and the engine room.
“It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed.
“I love it as if it were my child,” he replied.
“It must have cost a fortune!”
“Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions!”
Ned Land and Conseil were as amazed at the ship as I was, but Ned was still interested in trying to find a way to escape. I told him that he should stop thinking about it for the moment.
A few days later, Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island under the sea. When returned to the Nautilus, we were tired but amazed by what we had seen during the trip. It was an amazing experience.
When we entered the Torres Strait, the Nautilus hit a reef and stopped. We had to wait for the high tide to lift the Nautilus off the reef. We three were allowed to use Captain Nemo’s dinghy to go onto the island. We were excited. When we returned to the island the next day, we were attacked by savages. About one hundred savages followed us and tried to come into the ship. Captain Nemo didn’t worry about them. When they put their hands on the rail, they all fell back and ran away. Captain Nemo had put electricity into the rail. Anybody who touched it would receive an electric shock.
One day, Captain Nemo asked me to follow him to another room and help one of his men. A man lay on a bed with a very bad head wound. I looked at it. “What happened ” Captain Nemo answered, “Something broke in the engine. A heavy piece of metal hit his head.” “He is going to die soon,” I said. “Nothing can save him.” Tears filled Captain Nemo’s eyes, and he asked me to leave.
We sailed through a sea of milk and huge armies of shell sand, sometimes large crowds of sharks. I realized that I did not really want to escape.

We students should always improve ourselves. Travelling and reading are good for us. Our body and soul must be on the way.
Last summer I visited the Forbidden City. I was amazed by the wonderful palaces and those world-famous works of art. Of course I have learnt a lot about our great history.
Reading is a lot of fun. When I read the books that I love most, I feel relaxed. Journey to the West is my favorite book. The Monkey King always tries his best to solve the difficulties that he faces and never gives up. He really encourages me a lot in some ways.
I think both travelling and reading can enrich our experience and help us better understand our life.
