This smart program can solve math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models(模型) such as OpenAI's GPT-4, 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 (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, higher than Open AI's model. A simple version(版本) of R1can 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(程序员) all over the world started to study it. 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 over $65 billion on AI research.scientists 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. This will make a real difference to our life.

D ①Collecting is one of people's hobbies and People collect things for different reasons. ②Some people collect because they want to make money. We call them business collectors.This could be called an instrumental(工具性) reason for collecting. They'll look for antiques(古董, 古玩) that they can buy cheaply and sell at a higher price. But there may be a psychological thought, too— buying cheap and selling dear can give the collector a sense of achievement(成就感). ③Another reason for collecting is the desire (渴望) to find something special, such as an early recording by a famous singer. Some may spend their whole lives looking for this.Psychologically (心理学上), this can give a purpose (目的) to a life. There is a danger, though,that if one is lucky enough to find what he is looking for, he may feel empty, because the goal that drove him on has gone. ④If you think about collecting stamps, another reason is its educational value (教育价值).Stamp collecting opens a window to other countries, and to the plants, animals, or famous people shown on their stamps. In the 19th century, many collectors collected fossils(化石), animals and plants from around the world and their collections provided much information about the natural world. Without those collections, our understanding of the world would be far behind what it is. ⑤Not all collectors are interested in learning from their hobbies. Some people collect because of the need for a sense of control (控制). Stamp collectors, for example, place their stamps in albums very neatly according to their favourite order. 13. According to the passage, business collectors collect things to . A. have fun B. make money C. meet their interest D. show to others 14. What does the underlined words“he may feel empty” mean in paragraph 3? A. He may feel hungry. B. He may feel hopeless about his hobby. C. He may lose the goal of life. D. He may collect more expensive things. 15. Which is TRUE according to Paragraph 3 and 4? A. Many singers like collecting things. B. Collections can open up the world to the collectors. C. Most collections now are from the 19th century. D. A collector must travel around the world for his collections. 16. What's the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①/②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①②③④/⑤ 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，有一个多余的选项。 E Have you ever dreamed of flying to Mars? A teenager called Alyssa Carson has a big dream for her future.

Today, we are going to play Cinderella!” said LinXiao, one of the volunteer teachers from Shenzhen University. In front of her, there were 45country school fifth graders listening excitedly. In response (响应) to the government's call for the revitalization (复兴) of countryside education, the Volunteer Teaching Program was set up in 2021. For four years, volunteers like Lin have spent their summers teaching in Shangbao Village, Ganzhou City, where these educational improvements(教育改善) are expected to happen. As the captain, Lin arrived in Ganzhou with her team on July 10, 2023. Although the living conditions were terrible, she believed the experience was valuable in making the lives of local students better. During the teaching, Lin found that students in village schools are often short of interest in English because of few materials (材料) and chances to use the language. To increase their interest in English, Lin and her team planned special English drama courses to encourage children to express themselves bravely. “It is better for village students to learn English through acting,because they will have more fun,” Lin explained. During rehearsals (排练), Lin helped the children understand the storyline, practise words over and over again, and build cooperation (合作)among them. She discovered a big change in the students' attitudes (态度) now, with many becoming interested in English. One summer may not bring much changes to the children, but Lin hopes one summer's hard work can at least make a difference to China's countryside education. 41. How long has the Volunteer Teaching Program lasted? 42. What did Lin and her team do to increase the students' interest in English? 43. What does Lin hope for their summer volunteer teaching program? 44. What do think of Lin and her team?
