The term (术语) means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning. As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings. On screens usually appears (出现) a dragon. It stands for nobility and power. The peacock, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens, too. It’s a symbol of everlasting (永久的) life. Beautiful flowers mean good luck. Lots of people like to choose them as a popular design of the ping feng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes.

When an admirer (仰慕者) paid a visit, however, she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create (创造) one. If the daughter and her father were happy with the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to marry him. Today the ping feng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical (实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall, it can be the perfect match for modern sofas and walls, and it adds style to them. The ping feng is more than beautiful furniture. 50.

Except for Collie, all things went well for him. He learned how to laugh, and how to play at fighting with his master without really biting him. When his master rode his horse, White Fang went with him. He never got tired, because he ran like a wolf. Once, when they were out riding, his master fell from his horse and broke his leg. “Home! Go home!” said his master, when he understood his injury (受伤). White Fang didn’t want to leave him. “Go home and tell them what happened to me.” White Fang knew the meaning of “home”, though not the rest of the message. But he went. He ran to Scott’s wife and pulled her dress, but it tore and she was afraid and angry. He stood before Scott’s father growling (嗥叫) until he told White Fang to lie down. He looked at all their faces. “I think he’s trying to speak,” said Scott’s daughter, Beth. And at that moment he started to bark — something he had never done before. “Something’s happened to Scott,” said his wife. They were all on their feet now, and White Fang ran out of the house. He looked back at them using his eyes to say: “Follow me”. After this everyone liked him even more. It was during White Fang’s second winter in the Santa Clara Valley that he made a strange discovery. Collie’s teeth were no longer sharp. Her bites seemed more like playing than hurting. Soon White Fang started playing with her. — Taken from White Fang 54. The first paragraph tells us about ________. A. one of White Fang’s new journeys B. White Fang’s nice life in the Southland C.

It was developed by DeepSeek, a Chinese business in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The new AI came out on Jan 20. In just one week, it beat OpenAI’s ChatGPT and became the top free app in Apple’s App Store. The developers said that DeepSeek-R1 is as good at difficult tasks as other big models but needs less computing power (算力). It is also the cheapest of its kind and took only about 5.57 million US dollars (40.58 million yuan) to develop, while US businesses have had to spend much more money building similar AI models. DeepSeek-R1’s success largely came from its special training method. Traditionally, AI is trained in two ways. One is Chain-of-Thought (CoT). In this way, AI learns to break problems into smaller and simpler steps. The other is Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT). It works by showing AI lots of problems together with the right answers for it to find a pattern (模式). DeepSeek-R1, however, used Reinforcement Learning (RL) as the key method. In RL, AI learns by trying different things. It gets rewards for correct actions and gets punished for mistakes. For example, in a game, it gets points for picking up rubbish and loses points for breaking a glass. Over time, it works out the best solution (解决方法) all by itself. In short, DeepSeek-R1 is great. This model shows that China is getting better at AI. DeepSeek-R1 tells us that new ideas can make AI grow, and it will help many parts of our life. 57. How does Paragraph 2 show that DeepSeek-R1 has a low cost? A. By giving an example. B. By listing the number. C. By asking a question. D. By telling a story. 58. The underlined word “rewards” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A. 困境 B. 惩罚 C. 成功 D. 奖励 59. Which is the structure of the passage? (① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2 …) A. B. C. D. 60. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of DeepSeek-R1. B. The developers of DeepSeek-R1. C. The work of DeepSeek-R1. D. The introduction to DeepSeek-R1.
