The team of researchers have studied in the top universities in China and have no oversea (海外的) educational background, and most of whom are under 34 years old. They are also very good at math, physics and coding (编程). The company works on AI, especially big models (模型). Think of it like building a super smart brain that can think and solve problems like humans (this is called AGI). On January 20, 2025, DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. It can help people find information and summarize (总结) it, solve math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT-40. This made the whole world completely surprised, because it costs much less to build. It only took the team $5.58 million (1/70 of OpenAI’s cost) and 2,048 computer chips, and two months to create it. This shows that good ideas can beat big money. On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers around the world started projects to study it. Even Meta (a famous U.S. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China tells the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 42．Who was DeepSeek founded by? 43．Why were people all over the world surprised after DeepSeek-R1’s birth? 44．How long did the DeepSeek team spend in creating DeepSeek-R1? 45．What does the success of DeepSeek-R1 show us? 46．What do you think of the researchers of DeepSeek? 八、书面表达(共28分) 47．你和搭档分别扮演“来重庆旅游的游客”和“在重庆生活多年的本地人”，围绕“重庆交通的变化”对话。要求：①提及过去交通状况(如速度慢、爬山出行等)；②提及现在交通状况(如桥梁、地铁、高速公路等)；③结合课文中重庆交通的相关描述。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
