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 (代码), and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o, 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 (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 math. Other AIs need many prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, 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”, showing 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.
34．How much did it cost to build DeepSeek-R1
A．$ 5.58 million. B．$ 65 billion. C．$ 10. D．$ 300.
35．What does “improves by itself” mean in the article
A．It needs programmers to fix mistakes. B．It expresses answers from other AIs.
C．It becomes better through practice. D．It only works with expensive tools.
36．Why did Meta plan to spend more money on AI research
A．To help Chinese companies. B．To compete with DeepSeek-R1.
C．To build more computer chips. D．To hire German scientists.
37．What is the main purpose of the article
A．To compare Chinese and American AI technologies.
B．To encourage students to become programmers.
C．To explain how computer chips work.
D．To introduce a low-cost AI model from China.
【答案】34．A 35．C 36．B 37．D
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国科技公司DeepSeek研发的一款新型低成本AI模型DeepSeek-R1。
34．细节理解题。根据“The team spent only $ 5.58 million (1/70 of OpenAI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips (计算机芯片) for two months.”可知，建造DeepSeek-R1花了558万美元。故选A。
35．词句猜测题。根据“DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice math. Other AIs need many prepared examples, but R1improves by itself.”可知，DeepSeek-R1是通过反复尝试、实践变得更好，即可以自己改进。故选C。
36．推理判断题。根据“U.S. tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $ 65 billion more on AI research.”可知，美国科技公司担心是因为中国科技公司DeepSeek研发出了新型的AI模型DeepSeek-R1，所以Meta计划花费更多的钱用于AI研究是为了与DeepSeek-R1竞争。故选B。
37．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国科技公司DeepSeek研发的一款新型低成本AI模型DeepSeek-R1，因此本文的主要目的是介绍来自中国的低成本AI模型。故选D。

On January 28, 2025, a special performance called YangBOT (《秧BOT》) amazed audiences at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, China’s most-watched TV show.
Directed by a famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese yangko 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 handkerchiefs (手绢) at once and formed 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 the singer Liu Dehua.
The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation (激光导航) to move safely on the uneven stage. Their strong joints (关节) helped them balance 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 (创新), the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended quickly. The young called it “cool”, while the old loved its humor and festive spirit.
The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s technological progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance together!”

The lion dance is a traditional Chinese performance art with a rich history. It is performed during festivals, celebrations, and important events, such as weddings, business openings and especially Chinese New Year. People believe it brings good luck and keeps away from bad spirits. It creates a festival atmosphere and brings happiness.
Two artists wear a lion costume to perform (表演) the dance. One plays the head and front legs. The other plays the back and hind legs. The pair work together to do many difficult movements during the performance. They need to practice kung fu to do their job well.
The lion dance was being performed as early as the Han Dynasty. No one knows exactly how it started. Some say it had to do with war. One day, an emperor dreamed of a strange animal after a fight. It was fierce but didn’t look like a tiger. The emperor wanted eagerly to know what it was. The next day, his advisors told him that this animal was a lion. The emperor thought that it was a gift from heaven.
Then, he asked people to make this animal out of paper, cloth and bamboo. The “lion models” were used in future fights to encourage soldiers (战士). Later it became a form of art. The lion became a symbol of power, courage, and wisdom in Chinese culture.
The lion dance takes two forms. One is performed in the north and the other in the south. The northern lion looks more real, while the southern lion looks more like a dragon. The northern lion pays more attention to the leg movements, while the southern lion moves head dramatically with the rhythm of drums and gongs (锣). Both types show the power and wisdom of Chinese culture.

A．To fight in future wars. B．To perform difficult movements.
C．To scare away bad spirits. D．To create a festival atmosphere and bring happiness.

A．To perform the lion dance, three artists are needed to work together.
B．The emperor created the “lion models” to help achieve victory in the war.
C．No one knows when the lion dance was first performed.
D．The northern and the southern lions have different cultural meanings.
44．What can be inferred (推断) about the emperor’s dream
A．The dream was about a tiger. B．The dream was a sign of bad luck.
C．The dream led to the creation of the lion dance. D．The dream was forgotten by the emperor soon.
45．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage

The Changes
There are many changes in my life. For example, the factory used to dump waste into the river, but now the government has taken action to improve the environment. Besides, I lived in a low and shabby house before, but now I have moved into a tall and modern apartment instead. I notice that many families have cars now but we only had bicycles some years ago.
On the other hand, I have changed a lot, too. I went to many places of interest, like the Great Wall. I tend to like reading more than before. Reading helps me relax myself after class. To conclude, many good changes have taken place both in my life and upon myself. I believe the coming future will be brighter and brighter!

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 (代码), and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o, 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 (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 math. Other AIs need many prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, 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”, showing 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.
34．How much did it cost to build DeepSeek-R1
A．$ 5.58 million. B．$ 65 billion. C．$ 10. D．$ 300.
35．What does “improves by itself” mean in the article
A．It needs programmers to fix mistakes. B．It expresses answers from other AIs.
C．It becomes better through practice. D．It only works with expensive tools.
36．Why did Meta plan to spend more money on AI research
A．To help Chinese companies. B．To compete with DeepSeek-R1.
C．To build more computer chips. D．To hire German scientists.
37．What is the main purpose of the article
A．To compare Chinese and American AI technologies.
B．To encourage students to become programmers.
C．To explain how computer chips work.
D．To introduce a low-cost AI model from China.

On January 28, 2025, a special performance called YangBOT (《秧BOT》) amazed audiences at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, China’s most-watched TV show.
Directed by a famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese yangko 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 handkerchiefs (手绢) at once and formed 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 the singer Liu Dehua.
The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation (激光导航) to move safely on the uneven stage. Their strong joints (关节) helped them balance 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 (创新), the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended quickly. The young called it “cool”, while the old loved its humor and festive spirit.
The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s technological progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance together!”
38．What was special about the performance at the 2025 CCTV Spring Festival Gala
A．It was directed by a foreign filmmaker. B．It combined traditional dance with robot technology.
C．Only human dancers performed yangko. D．It was the first time robots appeared on the Gala.

The lion dance is a traditional Chinese performance art with a rich history. It is performed during festivals, celebrations, and important events, such as weddings, business openings and especially Chinese New Year. People believe it brings good luck and keeps away from bad spirits. It creates a festival atmosphere and brings happiness.
Two artists wear a lion costume to perform (表演) the dance. One plays the head and front legs. The other plays the back and hind legs. The pair work together to do many difficult movements during the performance. They need to practice kung fu to do their job well.
The lion dance was being performed as early as the Han Dynasty. No one knows exactly how it started. Some say it had to do with war. One day, an emperor dreamed of a strange animal after a fight. It was fierce but didn’t look like a tiger. The emperor wanted eagerly to know what it was. The next day, his advisors told him that this animal was a lion. The emperor thought that it was a gift from heaven.
Then, he asked people to make this animal out of paper, cloth and bamboo. The “lion models” were used in future fights to encourage soldiers (战士). Later it became a form of art. The lion became a symbol of power, courage, and wisdom in Chinese culture.
The lion dance takes two forms. One is performed in the north and the other in the south. The northern lion looks more real, while the southern lion looks more like a dragon. The northern lion pays more attention to the leg movements, while the southern lion moves head dramatically with the rhythm of drums and gongs (锣). Both types show the power and wisdom of Chinese culture.
42．Why do the performers of lion dance need to practice kung fu
A．To fight in future wars. B．To perform difficult movements.
C．To scare away bad spirits. D．To create a festival atmosphere and bring happiness.
43．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．To perform the lion dance, three artists are needed to work together.
B．The emperor created the “lion models” to help achieve victory in the war.
C．No one knows when the lion dance was first performed.
D．The northern and the southern lions have different cultural meanings.
44．What can be inferred (推断) about the emperor’s dream
A．The dream was about a tiger. B．The dream was a sign of bad luck.
C．The dream led to the creation of the lion dance. D．The dream was forgotten by the emperor soon.
45．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
