Among them, the one that I’m most interested in is the oil-paper umbrella. The oil-paper umbrella can date back to the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that the wife of Lu Ban, a famous carpenter (木匠), invented it. Lu Ban used to work in the open air. When it rained, he often got wet, so his wife created the umbrella for him. From then on, this kind of umbrella was popular among the rich families. In the Tang and Song Periods, the oil-paper umbrellas become popular among common people. The poets started writing poems and the artists painted on them. The umbrellas always had pictures like flowers and birds. At the same time, they spread to other Asian countries. Nowadays, few people use oil-paper umbrellas in their daily life. However, some shops still sell these umbrellas, which appear at many special situations. For example, red ones are always seen at Chinese weddings (中式婚礼) to wish for a happy life and purple ones are preferred by the elderly with hopes of a long life. In 2008, the art was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). More and more people hope to learn and protect the traditional art. 21. The oil-paper umbrella was invented by Lu Ban himself. 22. The oil-paper umbrella got popular among the rich families at first. 23. In the Qing Period, the umbrellas with pictures spread to other Asian countries. 24. The red oil-paper umbrellas at Chinese weddings are symbols of good wishes to new couples. 25. The passage mainly tells us the steps of making an oil-paper umbrella. 第二节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A King’s Colleve Summer School is an annual (年度) training program for high school students at all levels who want to improve their English.

And he always knows that if he wants to make his dream come true, he has to do well in three subjects—math, physics and chemistry. Although Bob studied hard in these subjects, he didn’t pass the midterm exam in physics. He became so sad that he thought his dream was broken. When he arrived home, his mother was preparing dinner. He told his mother about his sadness. After a while, his mother handed him a peanut (花生) and said, “Pinch (捏) it hard.” Bob did so, and the shell of the peanut was broken easily, leaving a peanut kernel (果仁). Then, his mother asked him to pinch it. As a result, the red skin left the peanut kernel, leaving only the white fruit. Bob’s mother asked him to pinch the white fruit. Bob felt confused (疑惑的), but he still did it. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break off the white fruit. Finally, his mother told him, “In our life, we will surely meet a lot of difficulties. But as long as we keep a strong heart, there will be hope of realizing (实现) our dreams.” From then on, Bob understood that he shouldn’t lose heart. He thanked his mother deeply and took his physics paper out. 31. What is Bob’s dream? A. To be a writer. B. To be a teacher. C. To be a scientist. D. To be a businessman. 32.

Dreams are important for young people. C On January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company (公司) 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 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 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 AI s need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improved by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, a little higher than Open AI’s model. A simple version (简单版本) 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 around the world started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments (实验) 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.” US tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend over $65 billion on AI research (研究). Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving 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. 36. Compared with OpenAI’s GPT-4, DeepSeek-R1 is ________. A. more expensive B. the same cost C. less useful D. much cheaper 37. What does the underlined word “improved” in paragraph 2 mean? A. 提升 B. 降低 C. 修理 D. 克制 38. How much does Meta plan to spend on AI research? A. Less than 65 million dollars. B. More than 65 million dollars. C. More than 65 billion dollars. D. Less than 65 billion dollars. 39. Why is R1 so popular according to the passage? A. Because it is free to use and change. B. Because it isn’t useful and easy to research. C Because its simple version can run on high-cost computers. D. Because it only comes from new ideas. 40. What is the main purpose (目的) of the passage? A. To explain how computer chips work. B. To introduce a low-cost AI model from China. C To encourage students to become programmers. D. To compare African and American AI technologies. 第三节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you often go on a picnic?

Last winter, I experienced unforgettable love from my neighbor. One snowy morning, I slipped and fell on the icy road while walking to school. My knee was bleeding, and I couldn’t stand up. Just then, Mrs. Li, our neighbor, rushed over. She helped me up, cleaned my wound with her scarf, and even carried me to her car to drive me to the hospital. While waiting for the doctor, she comforted me, saying, “Don’t worry, dear. You’ll be fine.” Her kindness made me feel safe and loved. This incident taught me that love isn’t always grand—it hides in small acts of kindness around us. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
