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 AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than Open AI’s model. A simple version 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 worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments 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. 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. 16. The first paragraph is mainly developed by ______. A. providing examples B. listing numbers C. following the order of time D. comparing R1 with other AIs 17. What do the underlined words mean in paragraph 2? A. It becomes better through practice. B. It copies answers from other AIs. C. It needs programmers to fix mistakes. D. It only works with expensive tools. 18. How much does Meta plan to spend on AI research? A. 65 million dollars. B. More than 65 million dollars. C. Less than 65 billion dollars. D. More than 65 billion dollars. 19. Why does the engineer say, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use”? A. To explain why R1 is free. B. To compare RI with Meta’s AI. C. To encourage students to study math. D. To show that expensive AI models have no value. 20. What is the main purpose 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 Chinese and American AI technologies. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. D 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国公司DeepSeek推出的人工智能DeepSeek-R1，它以低成本实现了高性能，在数学测试中超过了OpenAI的模型，并且免费开放使用，受到全球关注，证明了创新和努力比资金更重要。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据“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.”可知，第一段通过比较中国公司DeepSeek推出的人工智能DeepSeek-R1与其他AI模型的创造资金与解决问题等方面的对比，来展开文章。故选D。 【17题详解】 词句猜测题根据“Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself.”可知，DeepSeek-R1能通过自身练习不断变好，因此划线词汇与选项A同义。故选A。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Meta plans to spend over $65 billion on AI research.”可知，Meta计划投入超过650亿美元去研究AI。故选D。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据“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.”可知，工程师强调AI要做朋友而非有钱人专属，实际上是在解释R1免费开放、人人可用的原因。故选A。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍的是来自中国的一款低成本AI模型DeepSeek-R1。故选B。 C The Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world. It is about 9 600 000 square kilometers in size. This is almost the size of the America or China. The desert covers eleven countries in the north of Africa.

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 AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than Open AI’s model. A simple version 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 worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments 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. 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. 16. The first paragraph is mainly developed by ______. A. providing examples B. listing numbers C. following the order of time D. comparing R1 with other AIs 17. What do the underlined words mean in paragraph 2? A. It becomes better through practice. B. It copies answers from other AIs. C. It needs programmers to fix mistakes. D.

More than 65 billion dollars. 19. Why does the engineer say “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use”? A. To explain why R1 is free. B. To compare RI with Meta’s AI. C. To encourage students to study math. D. To show that expensive AI models have no value. 20. What is the main purpose 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 Chinese and American AI technologies. C The Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world It is about 9 600 000 square kilometers in size. This is almost the size of the America or China.

It started from the Tang dynasty (唐朝). Thang-ga paintings show Xizangan people’s lives. In recent years, Thang-ga paintings have caught the public’s attention. At the same time, the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art. The colors of Thang-ga paintings look wonderful and special. Because of the special environment of Xizang and the excellent skills of artists, the paints (颜料) used in Thang-ga paintings are different from other paints. They were made from minerals like gold and silver, as well as some plants. The paints were made by hand and the beautiful colors could last (持续) for hundreds of years. However, with the development of technology, people now use cheaper and easily-made chemicals to make Thang-ga paints. The traditional paints used in Thang-ga paintings took a lot of work and they were made in many secret ways. Later people stopped making the paints and forgot about them. So the skills needed to make them were almost lost. The traditional Thang-ga paintings are difficult to find now. 36. What is Thang-ga? ____________________________ 37.
