①Nowadays, DeepSeek is a famous name. It’s a great AI assistant that surprises everyone.
②DeepSeek is really clever. It can answer all kinds of difficult questions. You can ask about Geography, like “What is a supermoon ” It will tell you many interesting facts. It’s also great for helping with schoolwork. If you have trouble(问题) with a Maths problem, don’t worry! DeepSeek can show you how to work it out.
③What’s more, making great AI assistants doesn’t need a lot of capital or a long time. The team(团队) spent only $5.58 million for about two months. It uses a special way to work well on not-so-strong chips(芯片) and still works very well. How smart the people behind it are!
④However, DeepSeek isn’t perfect. Sometimes the answers it gives may not be totally right. Because it gets information from the Internet, and there’s some wrong information there. We can’t always trust its answers. We should use it carefully.
⑤Another problem is about us. If we always depend on DeepSeek to answer questions, we will become lazy and stop thinking hard on our own. Our brains(头脑) need to work too!
⑥In the end, DeepSeek is a magic tool. It can help us a lot, but we need to use it wisely. We should enjoy the help it gives, but also keep our own thinking active.

A. Time. B. Information. C. Computers. D. Money.
5. Why should we use DeepSeek wisely
A. Because it depends on the Internet.

C
The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation, and the other of all the good things.
BAD GOOD
I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me. I have no warm clothes. I don’t have much protection against wild animals I survive the terrible storm. I am alive. It’s hot here, so I don’t need warm clothes. There aren’t any wild animals here. I can live well because I was able to save a lot of useful things from the ship.
Sometimes it rained all day, so I had to stay inside. It was hard to read or write because the house was dark and I didn’t have candles. Then I remembered in Africa people made lamps using the fat of animals. I did the same. They didn’t give much light, but they were better than nothing.
I looked at my lists and thought, “These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation if we look for it. I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can.”
I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and put my things on them. I made some furniture—two tables and a chair. They weren’t very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my “kitchen”.
Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about 11 o’clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and 2 o’clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and wrote about my life on the island. At 7 o’clock, I went to bed as it got dark early on the island.
8. Where did the story take place
A. On an island.
B. In a small cave.
C. At the back of a house.
D. On the shelves.
9. Which of the following is a bad thing to “me”
A. I survive the terrible storm.
B. I don’t need any warm clothes.
C. There aren’t wild animals here.
D. No one comes and helps me.
10. What does the underlined word “roof” mean
A. The top of a house.
B. A piece of furniture.
C. A shelf to put things on.
D. The place to keep food.
11. What can we learn from the text
A. We can start a new life in a new place.
B. Life is hopeless when we are left alone.
C. Nobody can survive without others’ help.
D. One can try to find something good in a bad situation.
B) 补全短文

When Xiong Chuanfa blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, kids look at him in surprise, thinking he is a magician.
Xiong has been blowing sugar figurines (吹糖人) for over twenty years. Blowing sugar figurines is a traditional Chinese folk (民间的) art with a history of over 600 years.
Every morning, Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to start his magic show. He heats (加热) the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes—a rabbit, a monkey and so on.
People, especially little kids, are interested in his skills. To draw young people closer to the art, he also stops by colleges. Many college students have been drawn to the art, waiting in line for hands-on experience. Among them, Simon, a foreign student, couldn’t help having a try. Though it looked easy, he felt that it was difficult to make sugar figurines. Thanks to Xiong’s help, Simon finally saw a horse slowly taking shape.
Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. “I just can’t believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be spread around the world,” he said.
This art has been passed down for four generations (代) in Xiong’s family. His 6-year-old son often blows sugar balloons, just like what he used to do as a child.
“We will pass on the intangible heritage (非物质文化遗产),” said Xiong.
