I know your favorite colors are blue and silver. I just wanted your gift to be perfect.”
Alice’s face turned red and tears filled her eyes. “I’m so sorry! I just...” Her voice sounds a little bit strange. Lucy hugged her tightly. “Never! But next time, just ask me, okay?” Then they promised each other to communicate openly next time. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Lucy asked. “I was afraid of losing you,” Alice said.

“Look in my eyes! Tell me why!” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently?
Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life” These videos have become popular, showing these ancient people speaking in modern language.
In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles, like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late.
“The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people, such as Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong.
The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high tones and always asking questions, annoys some people. “They’re too pushy (压迫感), which is different from how they really were,” explained 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu.
Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements.
These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However. “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing fake information,” noted Nanfang Daily.
9. What are creative vloggers using AI for?
A. Making modern stars act like ancients. B. Helping students with homework.
C. Bringing ancient people “back to life”. D. Creating new historical movies.
10. What does Wang Jiayi think of the AI videos?
A. They make history boring. B. They are too pushy.
C. They share fake information. D. They help her learn about ancients.
11. What does the underlined word “annoys” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Makes someone happy. B. Makes someone angry.
C. Makes someone interested. D. Makes someone feel different.
12. According to Nanfang Daily, what should we do when we watch these videos?
A. Watch out for fake information. B. Check the creators of the videos.
C. Pay attention to the speaking style. D. Copy the way ancient people speak.
【答案】9. C 10. D 11. B 12. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了当下视频博主利用 AI 技术让历史名人“复活”并用现代语言表达的流行趋势,呈现了青少年对这一趋势的不同看法,以及媒体提醒人们观看此类视频时需警惕虚假信息的观点。
【9题详解】
文章第2段第1句“Creative vloggers are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu ‘back to life’”明确说明博主们用AI技术让李白、杜甫等历史名人 “复活”。
【10题详解】
根据第4段王佳怡的原话“The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people, such as Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu. I didn’t know much about their stories before”可知,王佳怡表示这些视频让她想要了解更多古代名人的故事,说明视频帮助她认识古人。
【11题详解】
根据第5段第2-3句“The way these ancient people speak, in high tones and always asking questions, annoys some people. ‘They’re too pushy, which is different from how they really were,’ explained 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu”可知,这些古人说话音调高、总提问,被评价为“太有压迫感”,这是一种负面感受,因此“annoys”应表示“使某人生气、惹恼某人”。
【12题详解】
根据最后一段最后一句“However. ‘we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing fake information,’ noted Nanfang Daily”可知,《南方日报》提醒我们要谨慎对待这些视频,确保它们没有传播虚假信息。

The result was the 820RR-RS. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.81 seconds. More importantly, it is 100% Chinese-made. After winning, Zhang said, “I’ve waited 20 years for this moment.” His story shows that hard work and a never-give-up attitude can make any dream possible.

D. He sold his company and retired.
15. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. “Zhang Xue Motor” won the race in Portugal.
B. The 820RR-RS can reach 100 km/h in 2.81 seconds.
