The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, is a business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Here is more information about it. The new AI first appeared on Jan 20. In just one week, it beat Open AI’s ChatGPT and became number one free application (应用) in the App Store. What is so special about it? According to DeepSeek, the new AI model is as good at difficult activities like math as other big time models. But it needs much less computing power (算力) to do that. It is also the cheapest of its kind and took only about 5.57 million US dollars (40.58 million yuan) to make. That is way less than the hundreds of millions or even billions that US businesses have to spend on making similar AI models, said Marc Andreessen, a technology expert in the US. The achievement was largely due to an idea the scientist had while they trained it. Instead of using the traditional ways, DeepSeek mainly uses Reinforcement Learning (RL, 强化学习). It helps AI learn by working out the right way to do things on its own to get points. This makes R1 better at reasoning and solving hard problems. What’s more, DeepSeek-R1 is open-source (开源的). Everyone is free to get a copy of its code (代码). They can also change the code to meet their own needs. Being open-source is very important for sharing knowledge and making technology better for everyone, said Liang Wenfeng, who set up DeepSeek. （ ） 56. What does Paragraph 2 mainly say about DeepSeek-R1? A. It’s new. B. It’s popular. C. It’s special. D. It’s free. （ ） 57. How does DeepSeek-R1 learn to solve problems? A. By copying human teachers. B. Through Reinforcement Learning (RL). C. By following strict rules set by programmers. D. Using only math skills. （ ） 58. What does the term “open-source” mean in the passage? A. The code is free to use and modify. B. The AI model is sold at a high price. C. Only experts can access the code. D. It requires special permission to download (下载). （ ） 59. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A. ①/②③/④⑤ B. ①/②③④/⑤ C. ①②/③④⑤ D. ①②③④⑤ （ ） 60. What is the passage mainly about? A. The importance of open-source code. B. The challenges faced by DeepSeek-R1. C. The introduction to DeepSeek-R1. D. The differences between AI models. B Gangnam Style is a pop single by South Korean musician PSY.

Through many years’ hard work, Jobs and his Apple products were a great success. People believe he has made the world a better place. Many young people also think of Apple products as a fashion icon.

Just as Hemingway in The Old Man and the Sea said, “A man can be destroyed, but can not be defeated (打败).” So he was considered as an American hero. What did Jobs’ workers and family members think of him? On the one hand, some workers described him as a strange and bad-tempered (坏脾气的) boss. They said he was impatient with those who disagreed with him or didn’t understand his ideas. On the other hand, his family members thought of him as a home-loving dad with each of his four children. He worried about all the things of them, such as their boyfriends, travel, safety and even skirt length. Though he was quite busy, he still attended his daughter’s graduation party. （ ） 66.
