You don’t need a royal flush (同花顺) as long as you can convince others you have one. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, knows this well, having played poker extensively during his student days. Following the huge success of its generative artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, the company has convinced many supporters that it holds all the aces (王牌), telling the world that size is the key to progress and that investing in this will receive big rewards. On January 21, 2025, Altman announced Star Gate, a $500-billion plan to build vast data centres for future AI models. As he said in an interview in 2023, “It’s totally hopeless to compete with us.” But the Chinese AI firm DeepSeek now looks to have challenged his claim. It has sent shock waves through Silicon Valley over the past two weeks with the release of AI models that are apparently as capable as OpenAI’s best, but at a much lower price and computational power. This young upstart, with less than a tenth as many employees as OpenAI, has punctured the jdea that U.S. companies hold some secret recipe for building AI or that they need such huge resources to do so. For those concerned about the accumulation of power in Silicon Valley, the arrival of competition is welcome. Its arrival on the scene suggests there are huge innovations in generative AI yet to come. Plus, cheaper models that require less computational power should open the door to entirely new applications for the technology, which may also make it affordable to more people and less damaging to the planet. The success of Chinese firm DeepSeek suggests tech companies can train and run powerful AIs without consuming vast amounts of power. 4. What is the main factor to control the AI market according to Sam Altman? A. Competition. B. Innovation. C. Scale. D. Intelligence. 5. How does DeepSeek challenge U.S. company’s leading position? A. By urging people to invest in its company. B. By exposing U.S. company’s technical secret. C. By applying huge resources to computational power. D. By developing competitive AI models at a much lower cost. 6. What does the underlined word “punctured” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Accepted. B. Broken. C. Ignored. D. Supported. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Much to prove yet. B. All to play for. C. Everything to fight for. D. More to achieve ahead. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。OpenAI认为规模是AI市场关键，而中国DeepSeek以低成本推出竞争力相当的AI模型，挑战其地位，带来行业新可能。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Following the huge success of its generative artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, the company has convinced many supporters that it holds all the aces (王牌), telling the world that size is the key to progress and that investing in this will receive big rewards. (在其生成式人工智能工具ChatGPT取得巨大成功之后，该公司说服了许多支持者，它拥有所有王牌，告诉世界规模是进步的关键，投资于此将获得巨大回报。)”可知，Sam Altman认为控制AI市场的主要因素是规模。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It has sent shock waves through Silicon Valley over the past two weeks with the release of AI models that are apparently as capable as OpenAI’s best, but at a much lower price and computational power. (过去两周，该公司发布的AI模型显然与OpenAI最好的模型能力相当，但价格和计算能力低得多，这在硅谷引起了轰动。)”可知，DeepSeek通过开发低成本且有竞争力的AI模型挑战美国公司的领先地位。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“This young upstart, with less than a tenth as many employees as OpenAI, has punctured the idea that U.S. companies hold some secret recipe for building AI or that they need such huge resources to do so. (这个年轻的新贵，员工人数不到OpenAI的十分之一，punctured美国公司拥有构建人工智能的秘密配方或需要如此巨大的资源的说法。)”可知，这里指DeepSeek 打破了美国公司拥有AI 开发秘密配方或需要巨额资源的观念。所以punctured意为“打破”，与B选项Broken语义一致。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕AI市场竞争展开，OpenAI强调规模，而DeepSeek以低成本挑战其地位，说明市场仍有很大竞争空间。B选项All to play for (一切皆有可能 /胜负未定)最能概括这种竞争态势。故选B项。 C Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest unofficial holiday in America. It’s a time for friends and family to gather for food, chatter and arguments. But some people living on the edge of society miss that special connection. Meir Kalmanson thought they should get to celebrate the big day. So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he hurried to his friend’s Super Bowl party, he invited six homeless men he met on the street into his car to join him. As expected, the men were a bit cautious. But Kalmanson has a sincere and born good nature that puts people at ease. Watch the game? Get food to fill an empty belly? Of course! Over burgers, chicken wings and soda, and dressed in New England Patriots jerseys, Kalmanson and his homeless guests watched the game. Kalmanson describes the scene as “warm, exciting energy. Conversation flowed. We were on the seats, cheering, and laughing.” “We were part of a bigger party that was happening,”says Kalmanson. “So, if you walked in, you couldn’t tell who was homeless and who wasn’t.” As a result, “the men felt that they were part of something. They had their dignity restored.” For that evening, they were no longer outsiders. They belonged. The Super Bowl party was not just a one-off. The next year Kalmanson set up the charitable organization: Super Soul Parties. With the help of a volunteer network and homeless shelters, Kalmanson organizes the gatherings and provides rides for guests on game days in cities around the country. Last year, more than 2,000 homeless men and women in 36 cities watched the Los Angeles Rams take the Cincinnati Bengals. Homeless people now have access to new clothing and barbers, as well as mental health therapists and affordable housing organizations. Families are also welcome. Ultimately, Super Soul Parties are more than a sporting event. They’re opportunities to bring awareness to the hardship of the homeless while making them feel a part of a larger community. 8. What happened when Kalmanson headed for the Super Bowl party? A. He came across some friends. B. He missed his car. C. He had some street men join him. D. He chatted with his friends. 9. Why did the men accept Kalmanson’s invitation? A. Because they trusted his sincerity and kindness. B. Because they wanted to escape the cold weather. C Because they expected to be accepted by society. D. Because they desired to follow the Super Bowl tradition. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 5 ? A. Kalmanson helps homeless shelters transport guests. B. Super Soul Parties offer shelters throughout the country. C. Kalmanson turns the party into a national charity in 36 cities. D. Super Soul Parties host parties for the homeless nationwide. 11. Which of the following words best describe Kalmanson? A. Kind and thoughtful. B. Daring and demanding. C. Humble and creative. D. Easygoing and forgiving. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Meir Kalmanson邀请无家可归的人参加他的超级碗派对，然后创立了超级灵魂派对，一个全国性的慈善机构，让无家可归的人感到自己是社区的一部分。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he hurried to his friend’s Super Bowl party, he invited six homeless men he met on the street into his car to join him.( 因此，在2017年2月一个寒冷的周日，当他匆匆赶往朋友的超级碗派对时，他邀请了六个在街上遇到的无家可归的人上车和他一起)”可知，当 Kalmanson 前往超级碗派对时，他邀请了六个在街上遇到的无家可归的人加入他。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But Kalmanson has a sincere and born good nature that puts people at ease. Watch the game? Get food to fill an empty belly? Of course!( 但Kalmanson有一种真诚和天生的善良，让人放松。看比赛?吃东西填饱肚子?当然!)”可推知，这些人接受Kalmanson的邀请是因为信任他的真诚和善良，让他们感到自在。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“The Super Bowl party was not just a one-off. The next year Kalmanson set up the charitable organization: Super Soul Parties. With the help of a volunteer network and homeless shelters, Kalmanson organizes the gatherings and provides rides for guests on game days in cities around the country. Last year, more than 2,000 homeless men and women in 36 cities watched the Los Angeles Rams take the Cincinnati Bengals.( 超级碗派对并不是一次性的。第二年，Kalmanson成立了慈善组织：超级灵魂派对。在志愿者网络和无家可归者收容所的帮助下，Kalmanson组织了这些聚会，并在全国各城市的比赛日为客人提供乘车服务。去年，来自36个城市的2000多名无家可归的男女观看了洛杉矶公羊队对辛辛那提孟加拉虎队的比赛)”可知，第五段主要讲述了Kalmanson成立了慈善组织超级灵魂派对，在志愿者网络和无家可归者收容所的帮助下，在全国多个城市为无家可归的人组织聚会。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he hurried to his friend’s Super Bowl party, he invited six homeless men he met on the street into his car to join him.( 因此，在2017年2月一个寒冷的周日，当他匆匆赶往朋友的超级碗派对时，他邀请了六个在街上遇到的无家可归的人上车和他一起)”以及第五段“The Super Bowl party was not just a one-off. The next year Kalmanson set up the charitable organization: Super Soul Parties. With the help of a volunteer network and homeless shelters, Kalmanson organizes the gatherings and provides rides for guests on game days in cities around the country.( 超级碗派对并不是一次性的。第二年，Kalmanson成立了慈善组织：超级灵魂派对。在志愿者网络和无家可归者收容所的帮助下，Kalmanson组织了这些聚会，并在全国各城市的比赛日为客人提供乘车服务)”可知，Kalmanson 邀请无家可归的人参加超级碗派对，之后还成立慈善组织帮助他们，这体现了他的善良（kind）和体贴（thoughtful）。故选A项。 D A major ice shelf in Antarctica appears to have survived a period of hot temperatures more than 120,000 years ago, indicating that West Antarctic ice sheets may not be as much at risk as we thought. “It’s good news and it’s bad news,” says Eric Wolf at the University of Cambridge, UK. “We didn’t get the worst case. But I can’t say this wouldn’t happen in the next century or two.” Wolff and his colleagues observed the Ronne ice shelf, a large section of the ice sheet that extends into the ocean, to see how it behaved between 117,000 and 126,000 years ago. During that time, changes in Earth’s orbit raised Antarctic temperatures even higher than they are today. To determine the extent of the Ronne ice shelf during that warm period, the researchers measured concentrations (浓度) of sea salt in an ice core drilled about 650 kilometres away from the shelf’s edge. If the ice shelf had melted during the warm period, its edge would have drawn closer to the core’s location. As a result, the researchers expected salt concentrations in the core would rise eight times during those years, because the core’s location would have been much closer to the open ocean. Instead, they found salt concentrations were similar or even lower than those of today, indicating that the edge of the ice sheet remained far away. The ice’s stability at that time suggests a lower possibility that the West Antarctic ice sheet will fall apart as climate change drives up global temperatures. “It implies there was not a complete melting of western Antarctica, but it doesn’t give us enough information to relax,” says Wolff. “The survival of the Ronne ice shelf doesn’t mean that other areas of ice, like the Thwaites or Pine Island glaciers didn’t melt.” The dynamics of warming in that warm period, which varied by region, are also different from global warming today, when temperatures are rising across the whole planet. For example, warmer ocean waters reaching Antarctica could speed up melt by advancing under the ice. 12. What happened around 120,000 years ago according to the first two paragraphs? A. The Ronne ice shelf disappeared. B. Antarctic was warmer than today. C. Earth’s orbit was raised higher than today. D. West Antarctic ice sheets expanded. 13. Why did the researchers measure the salt concentration in the ice core? A. To define the range of the Ronne ice shelf. B. To calculate the density of ocean waters. C. To analyze ancient ocean temperatures. D. To track the movement of the Ronne ice shelf. 14. What does the ice core salt concentration imply? A. Lower concentration indicates a larger shelf. B. Lower concentration causes a faster ice melting. C. Higher concentration suggests a colder ocean. D. Higher concentration brings a warmer climate. 15. What does the survival of the Ronne ice shelf suggest? A. The ice in other regions remained stable. B. The climate models were the same then as now. C. The West Antarctic ice sheet is less likely to melt. D. The most dangerous period of the West Antarctic ice sheet has passed. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南极洲的Ronne冰架在12万多年前的一个炎热时期幸存下来，这表明南极西部冰原的风险较小，但并非没有未来的担忧。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“During that time, changes in Earth’s orbit raised Antarctic temperatures even higher than they are today.(在那个时期，地球轨道的变化使南极温度比现在还要高。)”可知，这里的“that time”指的就是120,000年前左右的时期。所以可以推断出大约120,000年前南极比现在暖和。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To determine the extent of the Ronne ice shelf during that warm period, the researchers measured concentrations of sea salt in an ice core drilled about 650 kilometres away from the shelf’s edge.(为了确定在那段温暖时期罗恩冰架的范围，研究人员测量了距离冰架边缘约650公里处钻取的冰芯中的海盐浓度。)”可知，研究人员测量冰芯中的盐浓度是为了确定Ronne冰架的范围。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“If the ice shelf had melted during the warm period, its edge would have drawn closer to the core’s location. As a result, the researchers expected salt concentrations in the core would rise eight times during those years, because the core’s location would have been much closer to the open ocean.( 如果冰架在温暖时期融化，它的边缘会更靠近冰芯的位置。结果，研究人员预计在那些年里冰芯中的盐浓度会上升八倍，因为冰芯的位置会更靠近开阔的海洋。)”以及第四段中“Instead, they found salt concentrations were similar or even lower than those of today, indicating that the edge of the ice sheet remained far away.(相反，他们发现盐浓度与今天相似甚至更低，这表明冰盖的边缘仍然很远。)”可知，盐浓度低意味着冰架的边缘离冰芯位置远，即冰架范围大。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The ice’s stability at that time suggests a lower possibility that the West Antarctic ice sheet will fall apart as climate change drives up global temperatures.( 当时冰的稳定性表明，随着气候变化导致全球气温上升，南极西部冰盖解体的可能性较低。)”可推知，Ronne冰架的幸存体现了当时冰的稳定性，也就意味着南极西部冰盖不太可能融化。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Psychological well-being (心理健康) is more widely recognized, with more treatments and professionals involved. ____16____ Here are some helpful strategies for you to find the right support. Examine the source. Social media gives everyone a platform to share information, which can be beneficial in normalizing problems with well-being. However, just because someone has their own experience of something you’re struggling with, does not mean they are experienced in working with this in others. ____17____ Analyse qualifications. While online courses and qualifications provide greater access to health industry training, much fake information still exists in the industry. ____18____ When approaching those who promote their professional support, seek easily available evidence of recognized qualifications, and make sure they’re willing to explain these to you. ____19____ In today’s quick-fix culture, we often expect problems to be treated with immediate effect. But we should be cautious about anything promising a speedy solution, or that sounds too good to be true. Human psychology is highly complex, and the patterns that tie each of us up in emotional knots are as invisible to us as water to a fish. It takes time to understand and change these. There is no silver bullet. There is no single cure that can solve all of our problems, and those who claim that there is might be ignoring the complexity involved in being human. Surely, marketing campaigns will continue singing the praises of their products and services. ____20____ Instead, evaluate the options carefully according to your unique needs. This enables you to make informed choices for lasting well-being. A. Don’t trust quick fixes. B. However, it’s hard to know who to trust. C. So watch out for the claim that one solution fits all. D. This enables people to easily find qualified professionals. E. This makes it difficult for people to know if a consultant is qualified. F. Researching what actually qualifies someone to give advice is essential before taking it. G. Many consultants have qualifications in psychology to handle various emotional problems. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. E 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出心理健康受关注但难辨可信支持，给出策略：审视来源、分析资质、不迷信速效法、不盲从万能方案，应依自身需求选择。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Psychological well-being (心理健康) is more widely recognized, with more treatments and professionals involved.(心理健康得到了更广泛的认可，相关的治疗方法和专业人员也越来越多)”以及后文“Here are some helpful strategies for you to find the right support.(以下是一些有助于你找到合适支持的实用策略)”可知，前文提到“心理健康受到广泛关注，有更多治疗方法和专业人士参与”，后文转折引出“如何找到合适的支持”的建议。故本句为转折，既呼应前文的 “专业人士增多”，又自然引出下文的筛选方法。故B选项“然而，很难知道该信任谁”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Examine the source. Social media gives everyone a platform to share information, which can be beneficial in normalizing problems with well-being. However, just because someone has their own experience of something you’re struggling with, does not mean they are experienced in working with this in others.(审视其来源。社交媒体为每个人提供了一个分享信息的平台，这在一定程度上有助于让与心理健康相关的问题变得更为常见化。然而，仅仅因为某人有与你所面临的问题相同的经历，并不意味着他们在帮助他人应对此类问题方面具有经验)”可知，本段主题是“审视信息来源”，前文指出“社交媒体上的个人经验不代表专业能力”，本句进一步强调核实资质的必要性。故F选项“在接受建议之前，有必要先了解究竟什么样的人有资格给出建议”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Analyse qualifications. While online courses and qualifications provide greater access to health industry training, much fake information still exists in the industry.(分析资质情况。虽然在线课程和相关资质为人们提供了更多参与医疗行业培训的机会，但该行业仍存在大量虚假信息)”可知，本段围绕“分析资质”展开，前文提到“行业中存在虚假信息”；E选项“这使得人们难以判断顾问是否具备相应资质”对虚假信息造成的后果的说明，选项中“this”指代前文的“fake information”，符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据后文“In today’s quick-fix culture, we often expect problems to be treated with immediate effect. But we should be cautious about anything promising a speedy solution, or that sounds too good to be true. Human psychology is highly complex, and the patterns that tie each of us up in emotional knots are as invisible to us as water to a fish. It takes time to understand and change these.(在当今这种追求立竿见影效果的文化背景下，我们往往期望问题能立即得到解决。但我们应当对那些承诺能迅速解决问题的方案保持警惕，同时也要对那些听起来好得令人难以置信的方案保持谨慎。人类的心理极其复杂，将我们各个人深深困在情感纠葛中的那些模式对我们来说就像水对于鱼一样难以察觉。要理解并改变这些模式需要时间)”可知，本段批判 “速效解决文化”，强调心理问题的复杂性需要时间解决。A选项概括本段主旨，适合作为段首句，与后文“警惕承诺快速见效的方案”呼应。故A选项“不要轻信那些权宜之计”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“There is no silver bullet. There is no single cure that can solve all of our problems, and those who claim that there is might be ignoring the complexity involved in being human. Surely, marketing campaigns will continue singing the praises of their products and services.(不存在万灵药。不存在一种能解决我们所有问题的单一疗法，那些声称有这种万能疗法的人可能忽视了作为人类所涉及的复杂性。当然，营销活动仍会继续大力宣传其产品和服务的优点)”可知，前文提到“没有万能药，声称有万能解决方案的人可能忽视了人性的复杂性”，本句对对前文的总结，构成因故关系，指出应该警惕这种说法。故C选项“所以要警惕那种‘一种方法适用于所有人’的说法”符合语境，故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 On an ordinary day in 1955, three-year-old Levy suddenly developed a high fever.

Tom’s bakery was the heart of the community, a place where villagers gathered every morning. Tom worked long hours every day, yet his business barely brought him enough to make ends meet. But he never complained. Even on the toughest days, he would still greet each customer with a warm smile and a friendly word, always ready to offer a kind gesture or a listening ear. One year, a severe drought hit the town and people began to struggle. Tom, seeing the sufferings of his neighbors, decided to do something. Every morning, he would bake extra loaves of bread and place them outside his bakery for anyone in need. People were grateful, but some took the bread without a word of thanks. Although some villagers said that Tom was such a fool, Tom never minded, just happy that he could give others a hand in the hardship. On a cold, rainy evening, as Tom was closing his bakery, he noticed a young, ragged-looking man standing across the street, watching the bakery. The man had been there for several days, but he never took the free bread. Curious, Tom decided to find out why. He walked over to the man and asked, “Why don’t you take the bread? You look like you need it.” The man, whose name was Jack, replied, “I’m an artist. I’ve been down on my luck. But I don’t want to take charity. I want to earn my way.” Tom was touched by Jack’s pride. So Jack got a job in the bakery, helping with the baking and cleaning. 注意：1．写作词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As days passed, Jack proved to be a hard-working and creative assistant. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just when Tom’s business was getting better, a group of robbers set their sights on his bakery. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As days passed, Jack proved to be a hard-working and creative assistant. He came up with new bread recipes that attracted more customers. With Jack’s help, Tom’s bakery started to gain more popularity. People were eager to taste the unique bread made by them. The business gradually improved, and Tom was very grateful to Jack. They became good friends, working side by side to make the bakery a better place. Jack also found a sense of purpose and was no longer the down-on-his-luck artist. Just when Tom’s business was getting better, a group of robbers set their sights on his bakery. One night, they broke into the bakery, threatening to take all the money. Jack, who was still in the bakery, bravely stepped forward. He used his quick wits to distract the robbers while Tom managed to call the police. In the end, the robbers were caught. After this incident, the whole town praised Jack and Tom for their courage. The bakery’s reputation soared even higher, and more people came to support them. Their hard work and bravery had finally paid off. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了善良但贫穷的面包师汤姆在干旱时免费提供面包。他遇到不愿接受施舍的艺术家杰克，给了他工作。杰克努力且有创意，助面包店好转。后遇劫匪，杰克机智配合汤姆报警抓获劫匪，二人获赞，生意更旺的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“日子一天天过去，杰克证明自己是一个工作勤奋、富有创造力的助手。”可知，第一段可描在杰克的帮助下，汤姆的面包店开始越来越受欢迎。 ②由第二段首句内容“正当汤姆的生意越来越好时，一群强盗盯上了他的面包店。”可知，第二段可描写汤姆和杰克通过勇气和智慧成功使得强盗被抓以及越来越多的人来支持他们。 2.续写线索：杰克证明自己——想出了新的面包食谱——生意越来越好——强盗盯上了面包店——成功使得强盗被抓——越来越多的人来支持他们 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①获得：gain /get ②提升，改进：improved/ enhanced ③提出，想出：came up with/ worked out 情绪类 ①感谢：be grateful to /show his appreciation/show his gratitude ②勇敢地：bravely/ courageously 【点睛】[高分句型1] They became good friends, working side by side to make the bakery a better place.（运用了非谓语动词中的现在分词作状语。） [高分句型2] Jack, who was still in the bakery, bravely stepped forward.（运用了关系代词who引导的非限制性定语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年滁州市高二教学质量监测 英语 考生注意： 1．答卷前，务必将自己的姓名和座位号填写在答题卡和试卷上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，务必擦净后再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读—遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

You don’t need a royal flush (同花顺) as long as you can convince others you have one. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, knows this well, having played poker extensively during his student days. Following the huge success of its generative artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, the company has convinced many supporters that it holds all the aces (王牌), telling the world that size is the key to progress and that investing in this will receive big rewards. On January 21, 2025, Altman announced Star Gate, a $500-billion plan to build vast data centres for future AI models. As he said in an interview in 2023, “It’s totally hopeless to compete with us.” But the Chinese AI firm DeepSeek now looks to have challenged his claim. It has sent shock waves through Silicon Valley over the past two weeks with the release of AI models that are apparently as capable as OpenAI’s best, but at a much lower price and computational power. This young upstart, with less than a tenth as many employees as OpenAI, has punctured the jdea that U.S. companies hold some secret recipe for building AI or that they need such huge resources to do so. For those concerned about the accumulation of power in Silicon Valley, the arrival of competition is welcome. Its arrival on the scene suggests there are huge innovations in generative AI yet to come. Plus, cheaper models that require less computational power should open the door to entirely new applications for the technology, which may also make it affordable to more people and less damaging to the planet. The success of Chinese firm DeepSeek suggests tech companies can train and run powerful AIs without consuming vast amounts of power. 4. What is the main factor to control the AI market according to Sam Altman? A. Competition. B. Innovation. C. Scale. D. Intelligence. 5. How does DeepSeek challenge U.S. company’s leading position? A. By urging people to invest in its company. B. By exposing U.S. company’s technical secret. C By applying huge resources to computational power. D. By developing competitive AI models at a much lower cost. 6. What does the underlined word “punctured” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Accepted. B. Broken. C. Ignored. D. Supported. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Much to prove yet. B. All to play for. C. Everything to fight for. D. More to achieve ahead. C Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest unofficial holiday in America. It’s a time for friends and family to gather for food, chatter and arguments. But some people living on the edge of society miss that special connection. Meir Kalmanson thought they should get to celebrate the big day. So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he hurried to his friend’s Super Bowl party, he invited six homeless men he met on the street into his car to join him. As expected, the men were a bit cautious. But Kalmanson has a sincere and born good nature that puts people at ease. Watch the game? Get food to fill an empty belly? Of course! Over burgers, chicken wings and soda, and dressed in New England Patriots jerseys, Kalmanson and his homeless guests watched the game. Kalmanson describes the scene as “warm, exciting energy. Conversation flowed. We were on the seats, cheering, and laughing.” “We were part of a bigger party that was happening,”says Kalmanson. “So, if you walked in, you couldn’t tell who was homeless and who wasn’t.” As a result, “the men felt that they were part of something. They had their dignity restored.” For that evening, they were no longer outsiders. They belonged. The Super Bowl party was not just a one-off. The next year Kalmanson set up the charitable organization: Super Soul Parties. With the help of a volunteer network and homeless shelters, Kalmanson organizes the gatherings and provides rides for guests on game days in cities around the country. Last year, more than 2,000 homeless men and women in 36 cities watched the Los Angeles Rams take the Cincinnati Bengals. Homeless people now have access to new clothing and barbers, as well as mental health therapists and affordable housing organizations. Families are also welcome. Ultimately, Super Soul Parties are more than a sporting event. They’re opportunities to bring awareness to the hardship of the homeless while making them feel a part of a larger community. 8. What happened when Kalmanson headed for the Super Bowl party? A. He came across some friends. B. He missed his car. C. He had some street men join him. D. He chatted with his friends. 9. Why did the men accept Kalmanson’s invitation? A. Because they trusted his sincerity and kindness. B. Because they wanted to escape the cold weather. C Because they expected to be accepted by society. D. Because they desired to follow the Super Bowl tradition. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 5 ? A. Kalmanson helps homeless shelters transport guests. B. Super Soul Parties offer shelters throughout the country. C. Kalmanson turns the party into a national charity in 36 cities. D. Super Soul Parties host parties for the homeless nationwide. 11. Which of the following words best describe Kalmanson? A. Kind and thoughtful. B. Daring and demanding. C. Humble and creative. D. Easygoing and forgiving. D A major ice shelf in Antarctica appears to have survived a period of hot temperatures more than 120,000 years ago, indicating that West Antarctic ice sheets may not be as much at risk as we thought. “It’s good news and it’s bad news,” says Eric Wolf at the University of Cambridge, UK. “We didn’t get the worst case. But I can’t say this wouldn’t happen in the next century or two.” Wolff and his colleagues observed the Ronne ice shelf, a large section of the ice sheet that extends into the ocean, to see how it behaved between 117,000 and 126,000 years ago. During that time, changes in Earth’s orbit raised Antarctic temperatures even higher than they are today. To determine the extent of the Ronne ice shelf during that warm period, the researchers measured concentrations (浓度) of sea salt in an ice core drilled about 650 kilometres away from the shelf’s edge. If the ice shelf had melted during the warm period, its edge would have drawn closer to the core’s location. As a result, the researchers expected salt concentrations in the core would rise eight times during those years, because the core’s location would have been much closer to the open ocean. Instead, they found salt concentrations were similar or even lower than those of today, indicating that the edge of the ice sheet remained far away. The ice’s stability at that time suggests a lower possibility that the West Antarctic ice sheet will fall apart as climate change drives up global temperatures. “It implies there was not a complete melting of western Antarctica, but it doesn’t give us enough information to relax,” says Wolff. “The survival of the Ronne ice shelf doesn’t mean that other areas of ice, like the Thwaites or Pine Island glaciers didn’t melt.” The dynamics of warming in that warm period, which varied by region, are also different from global warming today, when temperatures are rising across the whole planet. For example, warmer ocean waters reaching Antarctica could speed up melt by advancing under the ice. 12. What happened around 120,000 years ago according to the first two paragraphs? A. The Ronne ice shelf disappeared. B. Antarctic was warmer than today. C. Earth’s orbit was raised higher than today. D. West Antarctic ice sheets expanded. 13. Why did the researchers measure the salt concentration in the ice core? A. To define the range of the Ronne ice shelf. B. To calculate the density of ocean waters. C. To analyze ancient ocean temperatures. D. To track the movement of the Ronne ice shelf. 14. What does the ice core salt concentration imply? A. Lower concentration indicates a larger shelf. B. Lower concentration causes a faster ice melting. C. Higher concentration suggests a colder ocean. D. Higher concentration brings a warmer climate. 15. What does the survival of the Ronne ice shelf suggest? A. The ice in other regions remained stable. B. The climate models were the same then as now. C. The West Antarctic ice sheet is less likely to melt. D. The most dangerous period of the West Antarctic ice sheet has passed. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Psychological well-being (心理健康) is more widely recognized, with more treatments and professionals involved. ____16____ Here are some helpful strategies for you to find the right support. Examine the source. Social media gives everyone a platform to share information, which can be beneficial in normalizing problems with well-being. However, just because someone has their own experience of something you’re struggling with, does not mean they are experienced in working with this in others. ____17____ Analyse qualifications. While online courses and qualifications provide greater access to health industry training, much fake information still exists in the industry. ____18____ When approaching those who promote their professional support, seek easily available evidence of recognized qualifications, and make sure they’re willing to explain these to you. ____19____ In today’s quick-fix culture, we often expect problems to be treated with immediate effect. But we should be cautious about anything promising a speedy solution, or that sounds too good to be true. Human psychology is highly complex, and the patterns that tie each of us up in emotional knots are as invisible to us as water to a fish. It takes time to understand and change these. There is no silver bullet. There is no single cure that can solve all of our problems, and those who claim that there is might be ignoring the complexity involved in being human. Surely, marketing campaigns will continue singing the praises of their products and services. ____20____ Instead, evaluate the options carefully according to your unique needs. This enables you to make informed choices for lasting well-being. A. Don’t trust quick fixes. B. However, it’s hard to know who to trust. C. So watch out for the claim that one solution fits all. D. This enables people to easily find qualified professionals. E This makes it difficult for people to know if a consultant is qualified. F. Researching what actually qualifies someone to give advice is essential before taking it. G. Many consultants have qualifications in psychology to handle various emotional problems. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 On an ordinary day in 1955, three-year-old Levy suddenly developed a high fever.

Tom’s bakery was the heart of the community, a place where villagers gathered every morning. Tom worked long hours every day, yet his business barely brought him enough to make ends meet. But he never complained. Even on the toughest days, he would still greet each customer with a warm smile and a friendly word, always ready to offer a kind gesture or a listening ear. One year, a severe drought hit the town and people began to struggle. Tom, seeing the sufferings of his neighbors, decided to do something. Every morning, he would bake extra loaves of bread and place them outside his bakery for anyone in need. People were grateful, but some took the bread without a word of thanks. Although some villagers said that Tom was such a fool, Tom never minded, just happy that he could give others a hand in the hardship. On a cold, rainy evening, as Tom was closing his bakery, he noticed a young, ragged-looking man standing across the street, watching the bakery. The man had been there for several days, but he never took the free bread. Curious, Tom decided to find out why. He walked over to the man and asked, “Why don’t you take the bread? You look like you need it.” The man, whose name was Jack, replied, “I’m an artist. I’ve been down on my luck. But I don’t want to take charity. I want to earn my way.” Tom was touched by Jack’s pride. So Jack got a job in the bakery, helping with the baking and cleaning. 注意：1．写作词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As days passed, Jack proved to be a hard-working and creative assistant. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just when Tom’s business was getting better, a group of robbers set their sights on his bakery. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
