After Liang entered Zhejiang University，he took part in many national computer competitions and won several awards.These experiences were good for his future work. After graduating，Liang joined Microsoft，a world-famous company.His work is to teach computers to understand human language.For example，if someone said，“I feel happy，” the computer could understand and reply properly.Later，he found a new job at Tencent，a leading tech company in China.He led a team to develop a smart system which could suggest videos or news based on users’ interests. In 2023，Liang started his own company called DeepSeek.While many companies were busy developing different apps，Liang chose to study the core (核心的) technology of AI.His team invented a special learning method and it could make computers learn faster and smarter.Imagine if you could finish a task in 10 minutes instead of an hour—that’s how much their method improved computer learning! Though Liang is a successful leader now，he still enjoys working with other engineers.He often discusses with his team and writes problems on whiteboards.“Exploring (探索) AI feels like discovering a new world，” he says.

C Zhou Lei is a researcher at the Hubei Academy of Agricultural (农业的) Sciences.He won the China Youth May Fourth Medal.He also has made great progress in the improvement of rice over the years.So far he has bred (培育) 16 new kinds of rice，increasing grain production by more than 1.5 billion kilograms.This makes sure China has enough grain to feed its people. Zhou has been offered chances to go abroad and exchange experience with others.One of the visits to the United States made Zhou realize that even though China was playing a leading role in rice research in the world，its agricultural industry was still behind other developed countries.After returning to China，Zhou began using his skills to help the country in agriculture.Instead of staying in an air-conditioned office，Zhou spent most of his time in the field.Breeding is hard，as it is heavily affected by sunlight and temperature.So Zhou always took care of his crops 24 hours a day. Things don’t always run smoothly.In August，southern China experienced very high temperatures.This had a serious influence on the crops in Zhou’s field.However，Zhou never got 　downhearted　.Zhou believed it opened a window for him to do further study.He said，“Sometimes we just need to find ways to overcome high temperatures，and this also helps us choose the rice.” After going through tens of thousands of tries，Zhou and his team succeeded in creating new kinds of rice to meet the needs of people. (　　) 7.What did Zhou Lei do to help his crops? A.He asked others for help. B.He moved his crops to a cooler office. C.He watered his crops 24 hours a day. D.He worked in the field most of his time.

(　　) 10.What is the best title for the text? A.Zhou Lei’s Personal Life B.The Challenges of Farming in China C.The Development of Rice Farming D.Zhou Lei’s Contributions to Agriculture D “Taoli” “Kaimo”，what do these Chinese terms mean? Have you ever wondered what the stories behind them are? ●Keeping modest (谦虚的) Chinese people in the past or even sometimes today call their sons quanzi.They believe that dogs are humble animals.When Chinese parents use quanzi to refer to their sons，they are being modest.Of course，most parents do have high expectations for their children and want them to be successful. Although people are modest about themselves，they call others’ sons linglang to be polite. ●Trees of character In Chinese，kaimo means “role model”.Both of these Chinese characters have a “木” on their left side.This means kai and mo might have been two kinds of trees. It was said that there was once a kai tree growing near Confucius’ tomb (墓) and a mo tree near the tomb of the Duke of Zhou.Their trunks were very straight，just like their character—straight and upright.Kaimo was then used to refer to role models. ●Spreading seeds (种子) of education There is a Chinese saying taoli man tianxia，which comes from a story about Zizhi.He was a kind and wise teacher.He often pointed at a peach tree and a plum tree and asked his students to work hard，“You should become a useful person，just as the peach tree and plum tree produce fruit.” Keeping these words in mind，many of Zizhi’s students achieved great things along the way and planted 　peach and plum trees　 to show their respect for their teacher. (　　) 11.Why do Chinese parents sometimes call their sons quanzi? A.Because they expect their sons to be politer. B.Because they want to bring their sons good luck. C.Because they try to be modest in front of others. D.Because they are always proud of their sons. (　　) 12.What does the underlined phrase “peach and plum trees” refer to according to the passage? A.Trees that produce lots of fruit. B.Fruit that tastes more delicious. C.Teachers who have many students. D.Students who have been successful. (　　) 13.What can we learn from the passage? A.Zizhi educated his students to be helpful to society. B.People regarded kai and mo trees as old people. C.People today often call their sons linglang. D.Behind quanzi，kaimo and taoli lies the value of heroes. E For over thirty years，the Hubble Space Telescope (望远镜) had helped scientists get a deeper understanding of outer space.Then in 2022，its successor (继任者)，the James Webb Space Telescope，entered service. Just like Hubble，the new telescope is named after a famous person.However，while Edwin Powell Hubble was a widely-respected astronomer (天文学家)，James Edwin Webb was neither a scientist nor an engineer.So why is he worth remembering? To find out the answer to this question，let’s go back to 1961.By then，Webb had worked in public service.He was invited to work as the leader of NASA.However，he was unwilling to take the job since he knew little about science and technology.But he was told that NASA needed a leader with excellent management skills.Finally he had to accept the invitation. Under Webb’s management，NASA made great progress in its exploration of space.The organization developed robotic spacecraft to explore the moon.It also sent space probes (空间探测器) to Mars and Venus. 　 ▲ 　.One of the worst accidents in the history of spaceflight happened on January 27，1967.Three astronauts died during a test.After the accident，Webb tried his best to lead the organization to correct all of the problems.His hard work helped NASA achieve more future success.In July 1969，nine months after Webb had retired (退休) from NASA，Apollo 11’s astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. Webb played an important role in human exploration of outer space.He turned people’s imagination into reality.It’s no wonder that NASA decided to remember this man by naming its new space telescope after him. (　　) 14.What do the two space telescopes have in common? A.They are used to explore outer space. B.They are named after famous scientists. C.They have been working for thirty years. D.They have been invented by Edwin Powell Hubble. (　　) 15.Which of the following sentences can be put into “　 ▲ 　”? A.He continued to work for NASA.B.But there were also failures. C.More probes were sent into space. D.People appreciated his work and respected him. (　　) 16.What’s the correct time order of the following events? ①NASA successfully sent a man to the moon. ②NASA explored the moon using spacecraft. ③Webb worked in public service. ④ Webb led NASA to correct all problems of the accident. A.④→①→②→③ B.②→④→③→① C.③→②→④→① D.④→①→③→② (　　) 17.Which of the following can best describe Webb as the leader of NASA? A.Loving. B.Successful. C.Humorous. D.Polite. 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F Shi Ming beat Feng Xiaocan in a UFC final.Fans were excited to watch her fight.They were also interested in her other job as a TCM doctor.
