The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, is a business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The new AI first appeared on Jan 20. In just one week, it beat Open AI’s Chat GPT and became number one free application 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 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 (成就) was largely due to an idea the scientist had while they trained it. Instead of using the traditional ways, DeepSeek mainly uses 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 RL better at reasoning and solving hard problems. What’s more, Deepseek-R1 is open-source. 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. 36. Which city is the company DeepSeek based in? A Shanghai. B. Zhejiang. C. Hangzhou. D. Beijing. 37. How long did it take DeepSeek-RI to become the top free app in the App Store? A. For seven days. B. For one day. C. For days. D. For 30 days. 38. What does the underlined world big-time probably mean in paragraph3? A. expensive B. cheap C. well-known D. unknown 39. Which technology did DeepSeek mainly use to train its AI model? A. Traditional algorithms. B. Reinforcement Learning (RL). C. Supervised learning. D. Neural networks. 40. Why is being open-source important, according to Liang Wenfeng? A. It makes AI models cheaper to develop. B. It attracts more users to download the app. C. It allows companies to earn more money. D. It helps share knowledge and improve technology. 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. C 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了杭州公司DeepSeek开发的新型AI模型DeepSeek-R1。该模型在计算效率、成本控制方面表现突出，仅用一周时间便成为App Store免费应用榜首。其核心技术是强化学习(RL)，且采用开源模式促进技术共享。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, is a business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.”可知，DeepSeek公司位于浙江杭州。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The new AI first appeared on Jan 20.

Some people were littering everywhere, and the grass looked dirty. My friends and I started picking up plastic bottles, paper, and even old cans. It was tiring, but we encouraged each other to keep going. After two hours, the park became much cleaner!

There are young horses from the country, little Welsh ponies, like Merrylegs, and many beautiful horses too. But there were also a lot of poor, thin horses, worn out from hard work. I was very sad to see them. At the horse fair there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes. He offered twenty-three pounds for me, but they refused, and he walked away. Then a man with a very loud voice came. I was afraid he was going to buy me, but he walked off. Then the grey-eyed man came back again and said: “I will give twenty-four for him.” “Done”, said the salesman. “He’s a quality horse and if you want him for cab work, he’s a bargain.” Half an hour later we set off for London along country roads, until we came to that great city. There were streets to the right, and streets to the left. We went into one of the small streets, and then into a very narrow street, with small, old houses on one side, and stables on the other. My new owner stopped at a house and whistled. The door opened, and a young woman, a little girl and boy came out. They all looked at me. “Is he gentle, father?” “Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a kitten; you can pat him.” Dolly, the little girl, patted my shoulder without fear. It felt good! They led me into a comfortable, clean stable, with plenty of dry straw, and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep. 32. What kind of horses didn’t Black Beauty see at the horse fair? A.

The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, is a business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The new AI first appeared on Jan 20. In just one week, it beat Open AI’s Chat GPT and became number one free application 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 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 (成就) was largely due to an idea the scientist had while they trained it. Instead of using the traditional ways, DeepSeek mainly uses 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 RL better at reasoning and solving hard problems. What’s more, Deepseek-R1 is open-source. 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. 36. Which city is the company DeepSeek based in? A. Shanghai. B. Zhejiang. C. Hangzhou. D. Beijing. 37. How long did it take DeepSeek-RI to become the top free app in the App Store? A. For seven days. B. For one day. C. For days. D. For 30 days. 38. What does the underlined world big-time probably mean in paragraph3? A. expensive B. cheap C. well-known D. unknown 39. Which technology did DeepSeek mainly use to train its AI model? A. Traditional algorithms. B. Reinforcement Learning (RL). C. Supervised learning. D. Neural networks. 40. Why is being open-source important, according to Liang Wenfeng? A. It makes AI models cheaper to develop. B. It attracts more users to download the app. C. It allows companies to earn more money. D. It helps share knowledge and improve technology.

Not only has it made people learn a lot about classic Chinese books, but it has aroused their interest in reading these classic books. On a media review website, it got 9 points out of the total 10. The TV show includes 11 parts, and each part is about one classic Chinese book. It meets people’s needs for culture at a deep level. The first part introduces Shangshu, or The Book of Documents. It is one of the most important classic Chinese books of ancient times. Through the TV show, people can know what it is about and how it has been passed down from one generation to another. A man named Fu Sheng made a great contribution to protecting and passing down the book. He took the risk of losing his life to hide it in the wall of an old house during the Qin Dynasty. He didn’t take it out until the Han Dynasty was set up in 202 BC. Thanks to Fu Sheng’s hard work, people today can still read this book, though some parts were lost at that time. He will never be forgotten. Many people in ancient times, especially young people, know little about the book Shangshu.
