Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025·山东青岛市北二模)In November 2024, a sign language learning app named ArtfulSign won first prize in a competition in Hangzhou.
The app was developed by three university students with hearing problems: Zhao Yuan, Wang Yueran, and Tan Chenglong. It helps common people learn sign language, making them be able to communicate with those who have hearing problems.
ArtfulSign uses AI models in sign language teaching. Each sign language word is shown through real-person video examples. After learning, users can open the camera, and the app will check and assess(评估) their sign language gestures. AI-powered machine learning helps learners know right away if they are performing correctly, which makes learning more fun.
Among the three, 25-year-old Zhao Yuan is the leader. She also works on building and training the AI model, which is the most difficult part of the work. To help the AI recognize sign language signs better, they need to train it with nearly 1,000 videos for each sign language gesture. However, because there aren't enough videos to use, they have to film them themselves. So far, the ArtfulSign team has made thousands of sign language videos.
Zhao Yuan and the other two have spent six months developing ArtfulSign and are still working to improve it. They plan to put the app on the Apple App Store soon. We hope that one day ArtfulSign will be widely used, so that both people with hearing problems and common people can use sign language, she said.

(2025·江苏连云港)On April 19, the world's first half-marathon for humanoid(人形的) robots was held in Beijing. The robots waited beside human runners,starting from the same line.
“I saw many robots running. Some were surprisingly fast, others had very lovely designs, and their running styles were quite different,” said Zhang Huihui, who took part in the race.
During the 21-kilometer-long race, the robots had to run on two legs. Some even wore running shoes. Each robot was supported by a team of human guides, operators(操作员) and engineers. They could have their batteries changed during the race. Teams could even use new robots when the old ones could no longer run.
There were 20 teams in the race and six of them made it to the end. Tiangong Ultra won the first in two hours and 40 minutes. “It crossed the finish line about 30 minutes earlier than expected,” said Xiong Youjun, CEO of a robot center. “In general, all the robots today could deal with challenges such as turns and speed bumps. We made history together.”
“Robots' completing the race isn't the finish line. It's the starting point for the growth of the robot industry,” said Liang Liang, from Yizhuang's Administrative Committee.
Although the robots fell from time to time, the event proved that they could do real-life tasks. Liang added, “Their small steps today will become giant leaps for human technological progress tomorrow.”
