We don't understand you，Sir!"    "Well，I will tell you a true story."      "Fifty years ago，I liked throwing stones because I had no other boy to play with and I became very skillful. One day I went to work for Mr. and Mrs. Smith who were very friendly to everybody，even to the birds. And the birds seemed to love the old couple，too. For seven years a bird had come and built her home in the old couple's yard. She and her mate（配偶）had just returned on the day I went to work and the old couple welcomed them happily. During the day，I thought I would try my skill upon her. Suddenly the bird flew to a tree near me. I found a nice stone，and I threw it with my best skill. It hit the bird on the head and she dropped dead!      I was sorry the moment I saw her fall off the tree. But it was too late. All day long her mate flew about，and sang so sadly that he made my heart ache. I said nothing to the old couple but one of their grandchildren told them about it. Though the old couple never said a word to me，I knew that they were very sad. I could never look them in the eye and tell them how sorry I was. They have been dead for many，many years，and so has the poor bird. But don't you see how that stone rebounded，and hit me？For fifty years I have still remembered it though I have never spoken of it before.

D January 20，2025，a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek﹣R1.This smart program can solve math problems，write code （代码），and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI's GPT﹣4 o，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 （芯片）for two months to make it. 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. In a global math test，it got 79.8% right，a little higher than OpenAI's model. A simple version（版本） 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." U.S.tech companies are worried. Meta planned to spend ＄65 billion more on AI research. Experts said China was catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a "big step forward"，confirming 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. 13. How much did it cost to build DeepSeek﹣R1？ A.＄5.58 million. B.＄65 billion. C.＄10. D.＄300. 14. What can we learn about DeepSeek﹣R1 from Paragraph 2？ A. It needs programmers to fix mistakes. B. It becomes better through practice. C. It copies answers from other AIs. D. It only works with expensive tools. 15. What does the underlined word "confirming" mean in Paragraph 5？ A. Showing it’s true B. Finding differences C. Refusing invitations D. Connecting with others 16. Which of the following can be the best title for the text？ A. Competition between GPT﹣4 o and DeepSeek﹣R1 B. Comparison of Chinese and American AI Models C. Appearance of Chinese AI Model DeepSeek﹣R1 D. Global Change of Chinese AI Model DeepSeek﹣R1 第2节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个 多余的选项。 Do you feel Grade 9 is still far away？The earlier you prepare for it，the easier it will be.
