For more than a month, the world has been very excited about a new AI model called Deep Seek-RI. The company behind it, also called Deep Seek, is a business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
The new AI first appeared on January 20th. In just one week, it beat Open AI’s Chat GPT and became number one free application (应用) in the App Store. What is so special about it?
According to Deep Seek, 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, Deep Seek mainly uses Reinforcement Learning (RL). It helps AI learn by working out the right way to do things on its own to get points. This makes RI better at reasoning and solving hard problems.
What’s more, Deep Seek-RI 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 Deep Seek.
31. What does Paragraph 2 mainly say about Deep Seek-RI?
A It’s new. B. It’s popular. C. It’s special. D. It’s free.
32. What is one of the strong points of Deep Seek-RI compared to other AI models?
A. It’s cheaper to develop. B. It’s smarter than others.
C. It’s better at difficult activities. D. It’s quicker in solving problems.
33. The word “achievement” refers to ________.
A. failure B. success C. problem D. difficulty
34. What is the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of open-source code. B. The challenges faced by Deep Seek-RI.
C. The differences between AI models. D. The introduction to Deep Seek-RI.
【答案】31. B 32. A 33. B 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了由浙江杭州深度求索公司开发的AI模型Deep Seek-RI:包括它上线后迅速登顶苹果应用商店免费应用榜首的受欢迎程度,相比其他AI模型的核心优势,其成功的技术原因,以及开源的特点和价值。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The new AI first appeared on January 20th. In just one week, it beat Open AI’s Chat GPT and became number one free application in the App Store.”可知,这款新的人工智能模型于1月20日首次亮相。仅用一周时间,它就击败了OpenAI的ChatGPT,成为苹果应用商店里免费应用的第一名。说明它很受欢迎。故选B。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据“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.”可知,但它完成这些任务所需的算力要少得多。它也是同类人工智能模型中成本最低的,研发仅花费了约557万美元(折合 4058万元人民币),说明它的优势之一是研发成本更低。故选A。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“The achievement was largely due to an idea the scientist had while they trained it. Instead of using the traditional ways, Deep Seek mainly uses Reinforcement Learning (RL). It helps AI learn by working out the right way to do things on its own to get points. This makes RI better at reasoning and solving hard problems.”可知,这一成就很大程度上源于科学家们在训练该模型过程中产生的一个想法。与传统方式不同,Deep Seek主要采用强化学习技术。这种技术让人工智能通过自主摸索出正确的做事方法来获取分数,从而实现学习。这使得RI在推理和解决难题方面表现更出色,因此此处achievement表达的是“成功”。故选B。
【34题详解】
篇章结构题。根据文章可知,第一段引入话题,第二至五段分别从上线后快速走红的热度、成本低及算力需求少的优势、采用强化学习的技术原因、开源的特点四个并列维度,展开介绍Deep Seek-RI的具体信息,对应B。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章可知,全文围绕Deep Seek-RI展开,涵盖其开发公司、上线后的热度、相比其他模型的优势、成功的技术原因及开源特点,整体是对该AI模型的全面介绍。故选D。
C

For more than a month, the world has been very excited about a new AI model called Deep Seek-RI. The company behind it, also called Deep Seek, is a business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
The new AI first appeared on January 20th. In just one week, it beat Open AI’s Chat GPT and became number one free application (应用) in the App Store. What is so special about it?
According to Deep Seek, 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, Deep Seek mainly uses Reinforcement Learning (RL). It helps AI learn by working out the right way to do things on its own to get points. This makes RI better at reasoning and solving hard problems.
What’s more, Deep Seek-RI 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 Deep Seek.
31. What does Paragraph 2 mainly say about Deep Seek-RI?
A. It’s new. B. It’s popular. C. It’s special. D. It’s free.
32. What is one of the strong points of Deep Seek-RI compared to other AI models?
A. It’s cheaper to develop. B. It’s smarter than others.
C It’s better at difficult activities. D. It’s quicker in solving problems.
33. The word “achievement” refers to ________.
A. failure B. success C. problem D. difficulty
34. What is the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of open-source code. B. The challenges faced by Deep Seek-RI.
C. The differences between AI models. D. The introduction to Deep Seek-RI.
