During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old diagnosed with congenital (先天的) deafness, received
offers from seven universities, making years of efforts.
Born in 2005 in a village in Hubei province, Hu lost his father at five and later lived with his grandparents
after his mother remarried. Supported by his family, he was admitted to a school for hearing-impaired children.
“Adapting to life in a group was tough,” Hu sighed. “When I first started school, everything felt scary. I
couldn’t hear anything, completely lost. I had to get used to the new environment, follow new rules, and learn
how to interact with others. But over time, these challenges became easier to manage.”
Hu recalls how his teachers used tailored techniques and tools to aid learning. These included multimedia
lessons, hearing aids, speech recognition devices, and other assistive technologies.
After middle school, Hu attended a specialized high school in Wuhan. For students with hearing and
speech impairments, learning English proved particularly difficult. While many of his schoolmates had some
basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies, and everyday
conversations, Hu had no prior exposure (接触), making the task even more challenging.
“My key is reading, writing, and translation,” Hu said. He created a detailed study plan and excelled. This
year, Hu Miaokun took the national college entrance examination, or gaokao. His hard work paid off. Since
May, Hu Miaokun has received offers from all seven universities to which he applied. Ultimately, Hu Miaokun
decided to pursue product design at his dream school, Tianjin University of Technology.
With ambitions of becoming a 3D designer specializing in product modeling, he is now focusing on
mastering various modeling software, such as 3ds Max and Adobe Illustrator. “I’m deeply thankful to my aunt
and everyone who has supported me,” Hu Miaokun signed. “I will continue to work hard in my studies and, in
the future, use my skills to inspire and assist others.”
44. What was tough for Hu Miaokun to adapt to group life
A. Congenital deafness affected group life. B. Father’s death caused emotional pressure.
C. School rules disagreed with rural habits. D. Delayed admission created skill gaps.
45. Why does the author mention English learning
A. To recommend the key to learning. B. To show the barriers Hu met.
C. To highlight the importance of English. D. To promote daily interactions in English.
46. Which of the following words can best describe Hu
A. Caring and loving. B. Generous and grateful.
C. Honest and demanding. D. Determined and ambitious.
47. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. “Deaf” Teenagers in a World of Silence
B. “Silent” but Not Silent: Hu Miaokun’s Sad Story
C. Hearing-disadvantaged Teen’s Journey to University Success
D. A Teenager’s Battle Against Silence: From Struggle to Survival
C
Shen Wei, the character designer behind China’s highest-earning animated film Ne Zha, recently spoke
about his challenging journey in designing characters for Ne Zha 2, following the great success of the original
film in 2019.
Ne Zha 2 joined the very lively Spring Festival film season list and was first shown on Jan. 29. Building
on the remarkable success of its predecessor, this five-year project continues to draw inspiration from the
playful but adorable character from the Ming dynasty novel The Investiture of the Gods. It also introduces a
“dimensional upgrade” that includes new characters, thrilling battle scenes, more than 1,900 visual effect
shots, and enhanced details for IMAX.
When discussing the challenges of character design amid high audience expectations after a five-year wait,
Shen emphasized the importance of two concepts: continuity and innovation. “I believe finding both keeping
the old and adding new things are significant,” Shen said. “The audience has already accepted elements of the
original, so it’s impossible to completely change the established framework. Our approach is to keep the main
ideas of the first film into the sequel (续集) while innovating and improving on existing techniques.”
Ne Zha 2 includes a substantial increase in new characters, tripling the number from the first film. A
promotional video reveals that nearly every character has received unique battle designs instead of reusing
previous designs. Shen noted that this approach demanded considerable effort and time. His goal was to
immerse the audience in a story that feels authentic and engaging, ensuring that each character is fully
developed and relatable.
One new character that impressed Shen is Ao Shun, a legendary dragon king. His complex armor, made
entirely of blades, along with his unique fighting style, presented significant development challenges. Shen
worked closely with Yang Yu, the director of the Ne Zha film series, known by his nickname Jiaozi, to explore
various versions of the character’s costume and performance style.
Looking ahead, Shen expressed a strong interest in exploring projects that involve alien and future-like
creatures during the revival of Chinese animation. “Such themes,” he said, “allow me to explore new ideas and
awaken my imagination.” He noted that character design is a creatively rich and rewarding process.
48. What does the term “dimensional upgrade” in paragraph 2 most likely refer to
A. A shift from 2D to 3D animation.
B. Focusing only on character backstories.
C. Reducing the film’s runtime for better pacing.
D. Expansions in story, visual effects, and technology.
49. Why does Shen believe it is impossible to completely change the established framework
A. Because the sequel must strictly stick to the original storyline.
B. Because the filmmakers lack the creativity to introduce new ideas.
C. Because the original film’s framework is too inflexible to allow for changes.
D. Because the audience has developed an emotional connection to the original elements.
50. How does Shen’s approach to character design contribute to the overall experience of Ne Zha 2
A. By making the film more technically advanced.
B. By balancing tradition with creative improvements.
C. By completely changing the original character designs.
D. By stressing the importance of audience preferences.
51. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To present the box office success of Ne Zha 2.
B. To advertise the global screening of Ne Zha 2.
C. To show Shen Wei’s design ideas and challenges in Ne Zha 2.
D. To compare the visual effects of Ne Zha and Ne Zha 2.
D
The recent emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese start-up, has broken the current message in Silicon Valley
regarding the development of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models. DeepSeek’s open-source AI model,
R1, has demonstrated capabilities comparable to those of leading models from major American tech firms, but
it was developed at a significantly lower cost and with less powerful hardware. This shift challenges the long
held belief that only the wealthiest companies could dominate(主导) the AI landscape by investing heavily in
resources.
As tech giants struggle with this new situation, questions are being raised about their policies and spending
habits. The traditional approach of outspending competitors on advanced chips and expansive data centers is
now under investigation. Industry experts suggest that the focus may need to shift towards efficiency, with
companies competing to create more cost-effective and environmentally sustainable AI solutions.
Responses from American tech leaders have been swift, with OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman acknowledging
the impressive nature of DeepSeek’s R1 model and promising accelerated releases of new models. This
competitive pressure is likely to lead to a reevaluation of data center investments and pricing policies, as
companies aim to remain relevant in a rapidly evolving market.
Despite concerns about DeepSeek’s claims regarding its development costs, its success has motivated
other AI labs to innovate and create more efficient models. The industry is expected to shift focus towards
maximizing AI capabilities within existing computational limits rather than merely increasing hardware
resources.
Some industry leaders view DeepSeek’s achievements as a confirmation of open-source AI, proving that
open-source AI has its value. Furthermore, they advocate for greater cooperation and sharing of innovations
among American tech companies. This perspective suggests that encouraging an open-source ecosystem could
stimulate the overall competitiveness of the US tech industry.
Ultimately, while DeepSeek’s success may stimulate short-term adjustments in business models, it also
highlights the potential for AI technology to popularize access and drive innovation across the globe. The
ongoing evolution of the AI landscape will require companies to adapt to new situations, balancing competition
with cooperation to ensure the continued advancement of the technology.
52. What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about
A. American tech firms are losing dominance due to inefficient policies.
B. AI development now favors cost-effectiveness over hardware investment.
C. DeepSeek’s R1 model outperforms all existing AI models in hardware requirements.
D. DeepSeek challenges the belief that only resource-rich companies can lead AI innovation.
53. What is the expected industry focus in response to DeepSeek’s success
A. Reducing the environmental impact of data center operations.
B. Maximizing AI capabilities within existing computational limits.
C. Increasing investments in advanced chips and expansive data centers.
D. Developing more powerful hardware resources to compete with DeepSeek.
54. What is the author’s attitude towards DeepSeek’s breakthrough in AI development
A. Cautious. B. Indifferent.
C. Optimistic. D. Critical.
55. What does the passage imply about the future shift towards AI development
A. It will lead to a decrease in the overall competitiveness of the US tech industry.
B. It will make AI technology accessible to more people and fuel innovation globally.
C. It will increase the profit of AI business models for all AI companies.
D. It will limit the application of AI technology to only the wealthiest companies.

Three Ways For Children to Learn From The Land This Earth Month
Even if you live in a big city, you can still experience nature firsthand. 56 It’s all that we
experience with our senses when we go outside. Here are three ways to introduce the concept of climate change
to kids while encouraging a connection with the environment.
Keep a climate journal. 57 However, you can explain that climate is simply the pattern of
weather in a certain place over time. Have them keep a weather journal of the local weather day to day to get a
sense of the climate in their area. For the older kids, discuss different weather measurement tools that are used
by meteorologists (气象学家), such as barometers and hygrometers.
58 Kids can help take care of plants, like vegetables in a garden or flowering plants in pots.
Growing and nurturing plants helps children understand that living things have needs and that people have a
role to play in helping living things meet those needs. Make connections between climate change and the needs
of plants; for example, how hotter temperatures may mean that a plant needs more water.
Build an outdoor play tool kit. Put together an outdoor tool kit with a magnifying glass (放大镜), a
pair of binoculars, a shovel, and a clear container with a lid or a bucket. These items can help kids find and
collect natural specimens (标本) to examine. If they need ideas for how to bring nature into their outdoor games,
try starting with something they are already interested in. 59
It doesn’t take much to strengthen a lifelong relationship between children and the natural world, but it
helps to start early and be consistent. 60 With a little guidance from parents and educators, children
who care about the environment will grow into adults who care about the environment.
A. Get in the dirt.
B. Develop interest in plants.
C. Nature isn’t just wilderness.
D. Climate change is a tough subject for younger kids.
E. Their desire to protect the planet will naturally grow.
F. Connecting with nature requires no special destination.
G. This could mean building a mini amusement park using natural materials.

Following my dream
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money
and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. My life was full of happiness and energy. I understood that no
matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit
anything moving on the field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only
believed in me, but often told me “The dream is priceless.” However, when I was about to get off the ground,
one particular thing happened, which almost ruined(毁坏)my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered
$12. 25 per pared with the average $3. 5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a
chance for money in my pocket, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes. The prospect(前景)of the
job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn’t
dare to tell my coach. I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, “If you make
your bed, you have to lie in it.” I made up my mind to talk to my coach by myself. Then, I gathered my courage
and knocked at his door.
