三、阅读理解（本大题有15小题，每小题2分，共30分）
A
On 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, and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of Open AI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips (芯片) 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% right, a little higher than Open AI’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 all over the world started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments (实验) 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.”
US 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 (证明) 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.
26．According to paragraph 1, DeepSeek-R1 is able to ______.
①write code ②work out math problems ③do experiments ④answer questions
A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④
27．It cost about ______ to build Open AI.
A．$5.58 million B．$65 billion C．$390 million D．$300
28．The underlined words “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A．GPT-40 B．Open AI C．Meta D．R1
29．The engineer says, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use” to ______.
A．explain why RI is free B．compare R1 with Meta's AI
C．encourage students to study math D．show that expensive AI models are useless
30．The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A．explain how computer chips work
B．introduce a low-cost AI model from China
C．encourage students to become programmers
D．compare Chinese and American AI technologies
【答案】26．D 27．C 28．D 29．A 30．B
【导语】本文通过对比和举例，介绍了深度探索R1这一低成本、高性能的人工智能模型，并强调了其在全球人工智能领域的重要性和创新意义。
【详解】26．细节理解题。根据“This smart program can solve math problems, write code, and answer questions”可知DeepSeek-R1能解答数学题，写代码，回答问题，故选D。
27．细节理解题。根据“The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of Open AI's cost) and used 2,048 computer chips (芯片) for two months.”可知Open AI的建立大约花费是$5.58,000,000的70倍，即大约三亿九千万美元，故选C。
28．词义猜测题。根据“Other Als need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, a litter higher than Open AI’s model.”可知it指代R1，故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据“DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change.”及“We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use”可知工程师说这句话的是为了解释为什么R1是免费的，故选A。

陕西快板
This is a typical (典型的) day for Yang Jinlong.
At 9 a.m., he drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to teach students about Shaanxi kuaiban. It is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling to the rhythms (节奏) of bamboo clappers (响板) , which the art form is named after. Sometimes, he helps students prepare (准备) for competitions. Usually, his classes run until about 6 p.m., and then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day.
On June 10, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced (宣布) 325 national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) items in Beijing, increasing the list to 1,557 items. Shaanxi kuaiban, which appeared during the late Qing Dynasty, has been included. The art form has been introduced to local schools as part of their art education.
Yang has been teaching young people the art form since 2003 after graduating from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing. He studied quyi there. Quyi is the general term for Chinese folk art forms, including storytelling, crosstalk and clapper talk.
“Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and violin, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban, which I’ll work for my whole life,” he said.
Kuaiban is popular in northern China, including Beijing and Tianjin. According to Yang, Shaanxi kuaiban was influenced by the art of different areas. The art form can be played by a group of players or only one. With one or two pairs of kuaiban of different sizes in hand, the players speak in the local dialect (方言) while telling stories, which are usually about heroes. The player tells stories while playing kuaiban, and it’s easy for the watchers to remember the stories since all the lines rhyme.
Thanks to artists like Yang, this traditional Chinese form of storytelling is passed on and stays alive in our country.

A．It is named after the Shaanxi dialect.
B．It is listed in the national intangible cultural heritage.
C．It is more popular than the piano and the violin in northern China.
D．It is played to tell stories usually about common people.
33．The underlined word “rhyme” in the passage probably means “__________”.
A．have the same sounds at the end B．have the same meanings
C．have the same spellings D．have the same topics
34．Which of the following best describes Yang Jinlong
A．Devoted. B．Stressed. C．Patient. D．Curious.
35．Why does the writer report Yang Jinlong’s story
A．To show how to play Shaanxi kuaiban in the local dialect.
B．To tell the difference between Chinese and Western arts.

C
You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart Meet Laura, a robot in Spanish National Library in Madrid, Spain, copying out (抄写) the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8-meter-tall legless robot called EveR6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance.
Those robots above require artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). AI is a computer system that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job.
★ . For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It’ll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use.
Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However, AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam (交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway, there is still a long journey for humans and AI.
36．In which pictures can we see Aurora and EveR6
A B C D
A．a, c B．b, d C．b, c D．a, d
37．What BIG question does Paragraph 2 answer
A．What is AI B．Why are AI robots made

C．Humans wonder if AI could think D．AI has become part of daily life
39．In the future, AI is expected to be able to ________.
A．suggest TV programs B．cut down food waste
C．invent new medicines D．help produce enough energy
40．What would the author write about after the last paragraph
A．The end of AI. B．The history of AI.
C．The way to get along with AI. D．The skill of making AI robots.
【答案】36．B 37．A 38．D 39．D 40．C

【详解】36．细节理解题。根据“See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8-meter-tall legless robot called EveR6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance.”可知，Aurora是一个无头狗大小的机器人，在阿拉斯加机场用来驱赶鸟类和其他动物；EveR6挥舞着手臂引导音乐家完成表演。故选B。
37．主旨大意题。根据“AI is a computer system that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job.”可知，第二段主要介绍人工智能是什么以及学习方式。故选A。
38．推理判断题。根据下文“For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It’ll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use.”可知，是举例说明人工智能应用在什么领域。选项D“人工智能已经成为日常生活的一部分”统领全段，符合语境。故选D。
39．细节理解题。根据“Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely.”可知，人类想象人工智能甚至可以找到一种完全解决我们能源需求问题的方法。所以未来人工智能有望帮助生产足够的能源。故选D。
40．推理判断题。根据“Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans.

五、完成句子（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
51．我认真地听了她的故事。
I ________ ________ to her story.
【答案】 listened carefully
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺“认真地听”，listen“听”为动词，副词carefully“认真地”修饰动词listen。本句时态可为一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故填listened；carefully。
52．比如，一种蚂蚁可以数自己的脚步以避免迷路。
A kind of ant, ________ ________, can count their steps to avoid getting lost.
【答案】 for example
【详解】根据句意可知，此处表示“比如”，用固定短语“for example”。故填for；example。
53．昨天我到家时，我妈妈正在为我们下周的旅行做准备。
Yesterday when I got home, my mother was ________ ________ our trip next week.
【答案】 preparing for
【详解】对比中英文可知，空格处缺少“正在为……做准备”；“为……做准备”对应的英文短语是prepare for，结合“when I got home”和空格前“was”可知，主句时态应用过去进行时，其结构为“was + 现在分词”，prepare的现在分词形式是preparing。故填preparing；for。
54．为了保护他的家人和朋友，哪吒竭尽全力与邪恶作斗争。
________ ________ his family and friends, Nezha tries his best to fight against evil.
【答案】 To protect
【详解】根据中英文对比可知，此处缺少“为了保护”，对应英文是“to protect”，句首首字母大写。这里需要表示目的，用不定式to do结构。故填To protect。
55．这首歌曲告诉人们不要放弃梦想。(每空一词)
The song tells people never to ________ ________ their dreams.
【答案】 give up
【详解】根据中英文提示可知，此处使用“give up”表示“放弃”；句子中“tells sb. to do sth.”表示“告诉某人做某事”，“to”后接动词原形。故填give；up。
六、短文填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词 (有提示词的，填入所给单词的正确形式)。
Making movies used to be something that only professional teams with lots of money could do. But now, thanks to AI, anyone can create a film.
This year, for the first time, the 14th Beijing International Film Festival had 56 special part, the AIGC Short Film Unit. They got 430 films from all over the world. 57 (surprise), independent creators made up 45 percent of the total, with the 58 (young) one being just 11 years old. AIGC is changing the game by 59 (let) anyone make movies.
Wang Zimin, 29, got the Best Creative Award. In his film, a team was 60 (set) up. Their purpose is to identify (识别) AI 61 humans to prevent possible problems. In the movie, the team catches Sun Wukong, 62 (think) he must be AI because of his superpowers which match the things AI can do.
But making movies with AI isn’t perfect yet. Many AI apps can only produce pieces of videos based on users’ prompts (提示词). As a result, 63 (character) faces often appear differently in later scenes. Wang solved this problem. He only started playing with AI two months before making his 64 (success) film.
Anyone can use AIGC． The only thing you need is to have a strong desire to express yourself 65 the only limit is your imagination.

57．句意：令人惊讶的是，独立创作者占总数的 45%，其中最年轻的仅有 11 岁。分析句子结构可知，此处应用副词修饰整个句子，surprisingly意为“令人吃惊地”，符合语境。句首单词首字母大写，故填Surprisingly。
58．句意：令人惊讶的是，独立创作者占总数的 45%，其中最年轻的仅有 11 岁。根据“with the...one being just 11 years old”可知，此处应填形容词最高级youngest，意为“最年轻的”。故填youngest。
59．句意：AIGC 正在改变这一局面，它让任何人都能制作电影。空前为介词by，空处应用动名词形式。故填letting。
60．句意：在他的电影中，一个团队成立了。根据“a team was”和所给词可知，team和 set之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，结构为“was/were+过去分词”，set的过去分词为 set。故填set。

三、阅读理解（本大题有15小题，每小题2分，共30分）
A
On 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, and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of Open AI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips (芯片) 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% right, a little higher than Open AI’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 all over the world started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments (实验) 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.”
US 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 (证明) 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.
26．According to paragraph 1, DeepSeek-R1 is able to ______.
①write code ②work out math problems ③do experiments ④answer questions
A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④
27．It cost about ______ to build Open AI.
A．$5.58 million B．$65 billion C．$390 million D．$300
28．The underlined words “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A．GPT-40 B．Open AI C．Meta D．R1
29．The engineer says, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use” to ______.
A．explain why RI is free B．compare R1 with Meta's AI
C．encourage students to study math D．show that expensive AI models are useless
30．The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A．explain how computer chips work
B．introduce a low-cost AI model from China
C．encourage students to become programmers
D．compare Chinese and American AI technologies
B
陕西快板
This is a typical (典型的) day for Yang Jinlong.
At 9 a.m., he drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to teach students about Shaanxi kuaiban. It is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling to the rhythms (节奏) of bamboo clappers (响板) , which the art form is named after. Sometimes, he helps students prepare (准备) for competitions. Usually, his classes run until about 6 p.m., and then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day.
On June 10, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced (宣布) 325 national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) items in Beijing, increasing the list to 1,557 items. Shaanxi kuaiban, which appeared during the late Qing Dynasty, has been included. The art form has been introduced to local schools as part of their art education.
Yang has been teaching young people the art form since 2003 after graduating from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing. He studied quyi there. Quyi is the general term for Chinese folk art forms, including storytelling, crosstalk and clapper talk.
“Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and violin, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban, which I’ll work for my whole life,” he said.
Kuaiban is popular in northern China, including Beijing and Tianjin. According to Yang, Shaanxi kuaiban was influenced by the art of different areas. The art form can be played by a group of players or only one. With one or two pairs of kuaiban of different sizes in hand, the players speak in the local dialect (方言) while telling stories, which are usually about heroes. The player tells stories while playing kuaiban, and it’s easy for the watchers to remember the stories since all the lines rhyme.
Thanks to artists like Yang, this traditional Chinese form of storytelling is passed on and stays alive in our country.
31．Why is today a typical day for Yang Jinlong
A．Because he is teaching students about kuaiban as usual.
B．Because his work starts at 9 and lasts 6 hours like every day.
C．Because he is preparing for a kuaiban competition today.
D．Because his life today is as busy and boring as every day.
32．Which of the following about Shaanxi kuaiban is TRUE
A．It is named after the Shaanxi dialect.
B．It is listed in the national intangible cultural heritage.
C．It is more popular than the piano and the violin in northern China.
D．It is played to tell stories usually about common people.
33．The underlined word “rhyme” in the passage probably means “__________”.
A．have the same sounds at the end B．have the same meanings
C．have the same spellings D．have the same topics
34．Which of the following best describes Yang Jinlong
A．Devoted. B．Stressed. C．Patient. D．Curious.
35．Why does the writer report Yang Jinlong’s story
A．To show how to play Shaanxi kuaiban in the local dialect.
B．To tell the difference between Chinese and Western arts.
C．To prove that kuaiban players are living a busy life.
D．To praise the work of spreading traditional Chinese art.

You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart Meet Laura, a robot in Spanish National Library in Madrid, Spain, copying out (抄写) the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8-meter-tall legless robot called EveR6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance.
Those robots above require artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). AI is a computer system that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job.
★ . For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It’ll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use.
Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However, AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam (交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway, there is still a long journey for humans and AI.
36．In which pictures can we see Aurora and EveR6
A B C D
A．a, c B．b, d C．b, c D．a, d
37．What BIG question does Paragraph 2 answer
A．What is AI B．Why are AI robots made
C．Where is AI used D．How many AI robots are mentioned
38．Which of the following can be put in ★
A．AI will be developed rapidly B．Humans depend too much on AI
C．Humans wonder if AI could think D．AI has become part of daily life
39．In the future, AI is expected to be able to ________.
A．suggest TV programs B．cut down food waste
C．invent new medicines D．help produce enough energy
40．What would the author write about after the last paragraph
A．The end of AI. B．The history of AI.
C．The way to get along with AI. D．The skill of making AI robots.
