①That future is almost here. “I think it’s going to happen. Definitely in ten years... and hopefully much, much faster,” said Sebastian Thrun in 2021. At that time, his young company Kitty Hawk Corporation was working on developing a flying car known as eVTOL, or Electronic Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicle (车辆).
②Flying to work or school sounds unbelievable. Not only is it fun to fly, but “There would never be traffic again, because the sky is very, very large.” says Thrun. He also thinks eVTOLs could be greener than common cars. “We go much faster, we go in a straight line, we fly on less energy.” he says.
③So far, though, flying cars haven’t taken off as a product. Will their day come There are still many problems to solve. Their high price means most people won’t be able to afford one. So, some companies are developing them as air taxis that people could pay to ride. The main problem with flying cars is safety. Accidents in the air are dangerous to both the passengers and anyone on the ground beneath. To make eVTOLs safer, many developers are aiming to make them self-flying—no human pilot needed.
④Another problem is space. Most aircraft need long runways to take off and land. Lifting straight up and down like a helicopter solves this problem. But eVTOLs still need special spaces, called vertiports, for take-off and landing. Finding places to put these could be tricky, especially in crowded cities. But maybe some could go on top of buildings.
⑤What do you think Would you enjoy riding to school or to visit a friend in a self-flying taxi Are flying cars a good idea, or should we find other ways to get around in the near future
22．What is Sebastian Thrun’s opinion about eVTOLs
A．They may cause serious traffic jams in the sky.
B．They won’t be invented in the coming ten years.
C．It may take much more time to travel by eVTOLs.
D．They save energy and help protect the environment.
23．Why are some developers aiming to make self-flying cars
A．To make them cheap. B．To provide more space.
C．To solve safety problems. D．To compete with common cars.
24．What does the underlined word “tricky” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．convenient B．funny C．difficult D．necessary
25．What is the possible structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
【答案】22．D 23．C 24．C 25．C
【导语】本文介绍了飞行汽车的前景、优缺点。
22．细节理解题。根据“We go much faster, we go in a straight line, we fly on less energy.”可知，我们飞得更快，我们走直线，我们用更少的能量飞行。所以Thrun认为这种飞行车既节省能源又环保，故选D。
23．推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，提到飞行车最大的难题是安全，为解决安全问题，许多开发者才考虑无人驾驶方案，故选C。
24．词句猜测题。根据“But eVTOLs still need special spaces, called vertiports, for take-off and landing. Finding places to put these could be tricky, especially in crowded cities.”可知，但是evtol仍然需要特殊的空间，称为垂直起降口，用于起飞和降落。寻找放置这些东西的地方可能会很……，尤其是在拥挤的城市。由此推知，“tricky”意为“棘手的、困难的”。故选C。
25．篇章结构题。第一段引出话题，第二、三、四段阐述优缺点，第五段总结、发问。故选C。
Ever since the first cars were built, carmakers have been working to make them better. There have been a lot of changes. So here are some interesting ideas!
A Cleaner, Cheaper Car
There are already a lot of electric cars on the road. Someday, they may be great. 26 Some electric cars run on gasoline part of the time. So they still dirty the air. Also, someday they might cost less, but now most electric cars cost a lot of money.
Many of today’s electric cars run on batteries. 27 The driver has to wait for the batteries to be charged up before using the car again. And if a driver is away from home, he or she may have a hard time finding a place to plug in the car to recharge.
A Faster Car
Some inventors think that a flying car is a great idea. 28 If driving on the road is too slow, these cars will rise up in the air. Someday, there may be a lot of flying cars. Could that lead to traffic jams in the sky
A Safer Car
29 But some inventors think that cars would be safer if they drove themselves. They say that people usually make mistakes but a self-driving car would not.
At least one company is getting ready to sell cars that drive themselves. 30 But not everyone is ready to accept that a machine would be a better driver than a human.
Someday, there may even be self-driving cars that can also fly and run on electricity. That could solve a lot of problems!
A．But right now there are still some problems.
B．Seat belts and airbags help keep you safe now.
C．They say it would help people get to places faster.

DeepSeek uses an open-source strategy. This means it doesn’t share all its training data, but it does share important parts like the model structure, parameters (参数), and training methods. This offers a great opportunity for developers, including the young talents from universities such as the University of Hong Kong and Peking University. They can now make use of these resources to explore the limitless possibilities of AI and carry out innovative (创新的) research.
What really makes DeepSeek different is its great improvement in adapting (适应) to the domestic (国内的) situation. Because of the possible technology limits from other countries, especially the strict controls on chip exports by some Western countries. This has influenced companies like Nvidia. For example, DeepSeek has worked with the domestic chip maker Hygon (海光信息). They have successfully made the DeepSeek models match the domestic DCU chips well.
This achievement reduces our reliance (依赖) on foreign chips to a certain degree. It also greatly helps the development of China’s domestic AI and chip industries. It builds the base for a more independent and creative future in the tech field.
In short, DeepSeek is playing an important role. It is inspiring a new generation of young people to get involved in and contribute to the exciting world of AI.

On January 28, 2025, a special performance called Yang BOT amazed audiences (观众) at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, China’s most-watched TV show. Directed by the famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese yangko (秧歌) dance with modern robot technology.
In the performance, humanoid robots (robots shaped like humans) dressed in colorful costumes danced yangko, a joyful folk dance from northern China often seen during festivals. They spun (旋转) handkerchiefs and made creative group patterns. These robots were developed by Unitree, a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success—in 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben” danced as backup for singer Andy Lau.
The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation (激光导航仪器) to move safely on the uneven (不平坦的) stage. Their strong joints (关节) helped them balance (平衡) perfectly during fast steps. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn’t just fun—it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.”
Thanks to these innovations, the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended quickly. Young viewers called it “cool”, while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit.
The Yang BOT program is a perfect mix of China’s tech progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the past and future dance together!”

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 (计算机芯片) 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, slightly higher than Open AI’s model. A simple version of Rl 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 RI 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.

OpenAI has a new AI called Lumi. Lumi is special because it can make music from simple descriptions. You can listen to the music on your phone or computer. Lumi is good at creating melodies (旋律) with different instruments. It tries to make each note clear and pleasant. It is also learning to match the mood (情绪) and style people like, from happy songs to calm ones.
Lumi learns by studying many songs. It looks at how they are built and how they sound. At first, the music Lumi makes might not sound very smooth. But as it learns more, the music gets better. ChatGPT helps Lumi understand what kind of music people want, so it can make those that many people will enjoy.
Lumi is still being tested and is not perfect yet. Sometimes it has trouble with difficult music. For example, the drums and piano might not match well, or the melody might be too simple. Even with these problems, Lumi is an exciting step forward for AI. It shows a future where AI can make amazing and different music, changing how we enjoy sound.
19．What can Lumi do
A．Take notes. B．Hide mood.
C．Create music. D．Make phone calls.
20．What does the underlined word “those” refer to
A．Melodies. B．Instruments. C．Robots. D．Games.
21．What does the writer think of Lumi
A．Lumi is boring and not useful. B．Lumi is a great development in AI music.
C．Lumi works perfectly without any problems. D．Lumi has changed the way we enjoy music.
①That future is almost here. “I think it’s going to happen. Definitely in ten years... and hopefully much, much faster,” said Sebastian Thrun in 2021. At that time, his young company Kitty Hawk Corporation was working on developing a flying car known as eVTOL, or Electronic Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicle (车辆).
②Flying to work or school sounds unbelievable. Not only is it fun to fly, but “There would never be traffic again, because the sky is very, very large.” says Thrun. He also thinks eVTOLs could be greener than common cars. “We go much faster, we go in a straight line, we fly on less energy.” he says.
③So far, though, flying cars haven’t taken off as a product. Will their day come There are still many problems to solve. Their high price means most people won’t be able to afford one. So, some companies are developing them as air taxis that people could pay to ride. The main problem with flying cars is safety. Accidents in the air are dangerous to both the passengers and anyone on the ground beneath. To make eVTOLs safer, many developers are aiming to make them self-flying—no human pilot needed.
④Another problem is space. Most aircraft need long runways to take off and land. Lifting straight up and down like a helicopter solves this problem. But eVTOLs still need special spaces, called vertiports, for take-off and landing. Finding places to put these could be tricky, especially in crowded cities. But maybe some could go on top of buildings.
⑤What do you think Would you enjoy riding to school or to visit a friend in a self-flying taxi Are flying cars a good idea, or should we find other ways to get around in the near future
22．What is Sebastian Thrun’s opinion about eVTOLs
A．They may cause serious traffic jams in the sky.
B．They won’t be invented in the coming ten years.
C．It may take much more time to travel by eVTOLs.
D．They save energy and help protect the environment.
23．Why are some developers aiming to make self-flying cars
A．To make them cheap. B．To provide more space.
C．To solve safety problems. D．To compete with common cars.
24．What does the underlined word “tricky” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．convenient B．funny C．difficult D．necessary
25．What is the possible structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
Ever since the first cars were built, carmakers have been working to make them better. There have been a lot of changes. So here are some interesting ideas!
A Cleaner, Cheaper Car
There are already a lot of electric cars on the road. Someday, they may be great. 26 Some electric cars run on gasoline part of the time. So they still dirty the air. Also, someday they might cost less, but now most electric cars cost a lot of money.
Many of today’s electric cars run on batteries. 27 The driver has to wait for the batteries to be charged up before using the car again. And if a driver is away from home, he or she may have a hard time finding a place to plug in the car to recharge.
A Faster Car
Some inventors think that a flying car is a great idea. 28 If driving on the road is too slow, these cars will rise up in the air. Someday, there may be a lot of flying cars. Could that lead to traffic jams in the sky
A Safer Car
29 But some inventors think that cars would be safer if they drove themselves. They say that people usually make mistakes but a self-driving car would not.
At least one company is getting ready to sell cars that drive themselves. 30 But not everyone is ready to accept that a machine would be a better driver than a human.
Someday, there may even be self-driving cars that can also fly and run on electricity. That could solve a lot of problems!
A．But right now there are still some problems.
B．Seat belts and airbags help keep you safe now.
C．They say it would help people get to places faster.
D．The cars use special cameras and other tools to drive.
E．The batteries may not take the car very far because they easily run out of power.
