201941. （2023•西安四十八中•一模） Science reporting on climate change does lead Americans to adopt more accurate beliefs and support government action on the issue，but these gains are fragile，a new study suggests.Researchers found that these accurate beliefs fade quickly when people are exposed to coverage skeptical of climate change.
   "It is not the case that the American public does not respond to scientifically informed reporting when they are exposed to it，" said Thomas Wood，associate professor of political science at the Ohio State University. "But even truly accurate science reporting recedes from people's frame of reference very quickly."
   Resultowed that accurate science reporting didn't persuade only politicians and people who initially rejected human-caused climate change also had their opinionifted by reading accurate articles.The study involved 2，898 online participants who participated in four waves of the experiment during the fall of 2020.
   In the first wave，they all read authentic articles in the popular media that provided information reflecting the seientifie views on climate change.In the second and third waves，they read either another scientific article，an opinion article that was skeptical of climate science，or an article on an unrelated subjeet.In the fourth wave，the participants simply were asked their beliefs about the science of climate change and their policy attitudes.
   To rate participants' scientific understanding.the researchers asked after each wave if they believed that climate change is happening and has a human cause.To measure their attitudes，researchers asked participants if they favored government action on climate change and if they favored renewable energy.
   "What we found suggests that people need to hear the same accurate messages about climate change again and again.If they only hear it once，it recedes very quickly，" Wood said.It was significant that accurate reporting had positive effects on all groups，including those who originally rejected climate change.But it was even more encouraging that it affected attitudes.

（1）What does the underlined word "recedes" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Increases.
B．Graduates.
C．Disappears.
D．Strikes.
（2）What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us？
A．The research object.
B．The research result.
C．The research purpose.
D．The research procedure.
（3）Why did researchers ask participants the second question？
A．To survey the government's satisfaction rate.
B．To make an assessment on their attitudes.
C．To teach them scientific understanding.
D．To measure action on climate change.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．Science Report Of Climate Change Can Affect Minds
B．Online Participants Joined In A Four-Wave Experiment
C．Accurate Science Reporting Don't Persuade Only Politicians
D．People Should Hear Accurate Messages About Climate Change

201637. （2025•铁一中学•六模）     Imagine you've been working for hours before a deadline，but you feel like you're getting nowhere.You're starting to feel really anxious.At this point，you might start to blame yourself for having this emotion.Now you have two emotions：feeling anxious about getting work done and feeling frustrated that you are anxious.When the second emotion gets layered on top of the first emotion，you often feel worse and are even less likely to reach your goals.You may now be wondering if it is possible to make the second emotion less likely.（1）       .
    Many people have heard of"mindfulness".It is often associated with doing a meditation（冥想） practice，but its essence is to be more aware and accepting of your present-moment experience.（2）       Acceptance can limit judgmental thoughts and unhelpful secondary emotions.
    Let me explain.Picture yourself in a challenging situation like the scenario described above and you feel anxiety arising.Instead of getting upset at yourself for having this emotion，you bring your awareness to the experience of the emotion and accept it.You might feel that this anxiety is not fun to experience.（3）        With this attitude of acceptance，and stepping away from the tendency to fight against the emotion，you are less likely to get stuck in a loop of judgmental thoughts that might trigger more unwanted emotions.
    （4）        But evidence suggests that it works.That is probably because accepting yourselves，including your emotions，relieves pressure.You stop adding fuel to the emotional fire when you release judgmental thoughts about your emotions.（5）        For instance，you could turn down the volume on the initial emotion，perhaps by seeing the situation from a new perspective or asking someone for support.

A.Thankfully，research suggests that the answer is yes.
B.You can't be productive even when you have more inner space.
C.Then you may question if you are feeling anxious about getting work done.
D.Yet you know you can breathe it through and that it is just a passing emotion.
E.Sometimes the experience includes an unpleasant emotion you don't want to feel.
F.It might sound unreasonable that embracing an unpleasant emotion can be a good thing.
G.You also create more inner space to determine whether you can do something that helps.

201808. （2024•西安中学•七模）     In a new study，researchers found that invasive insects in the United States could kill approximately 1.4 million urban trees by 2050，which would cost over ＄900 million to replace，reports Vishwam Sankaran for the Independent.
    Hot spots predicted to have the most urban tree mortality（死亡率） were Milwaukee，Wisconsin；Chicago，Illinois；and New York，New York.The study，published in the Journal of Applied Ecology，is the first nationwide forecast of street tree mortality from invasive insects.
    The emerald ash borer is an invasive beetle native to Asia.It was first detected in 2002 in southeastern Michigan，and experts suspect it was brought into the United States on wood packing material carried on cargo ships or airplanes traveling from Asia.Since then，the bug has been damaging ash trees.In the last two decades since the insect was first detected，numerous trees have been killed in North America.
    Data collected from 30，000 communities across the country was used to estimate tree mortality in the next 30 years.The researchers combined this data with a model that predicted the spread of 57 different invasive insect species.Their resultow emerald ash borers alone could cause 90% of the estimated 1.4 million tree deaths.Ash borers are already predicted to "kill virtually all ash trees" in over 6，000 urban areas，according to Newsweek.
    Less than 25% of 30，000 urban areas in the U.S.are expected to experience 95% of all street-tree mortality，reports Adam Barnes for the Hill.The areas that will experience the most tree loss include cities in the Midwest and East Coast.These locations are expected to have the most tree loss because large numbers of ash trees occupy the streets and parks in these areas，reported the Independent.
    When it comes to how to save urban areas from becoming treeless，study author Emma Hudgins，a biologist at McGill University，says， "These results can hopefully provide a cautionary tale against planting a single species of tree throughout entire cities，as has been done with ash trees in North America.Planting various trees provides resilience against pest infestations（侵扰）."

（1）What can we know about the emerald ash borer？
A.It is an invasive beetle in Asia.
B.It was first found by the Michigan people.
C.It has killed numerous trees in America.
D.They definitely enter the U.S.by cargo ships or airplanes.
（2）What is the fourth paragraph intended to describe？
A.The purpose of the research.
B.The conclusion of the research.
C.The significance of the research.
D.The process and result of the research.
（3）What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph？
A.Pest infestations are taking place across the country.
B.The insect's invasion won't spread equally in America.
C.Tree loss is the main cause of environmental problems.
D.Ash trees are being removed from many areas in the U.S.
（4）What suggestion does Emma Hudgins provide？
A.Getting different types of trees planted.
B.Replacing foreign trees with local ones.
C.Getting more trees planted in more areas.
D.Planting trees resistant to pest infestations.

201807. （2024•西安中学•七模）     Harvard scientists have engineered a group of fish that swims autonomously.Researchers say the experiment could advance pacemaker（起搏器） technology and improve the development of artificial hearts for humans.
    Researchers built the fish using paper，two parts of heart muscle tissue —one on the left side and one on the right —and a plastic fin.A contraction on one side caused the muscle on the other side to stretch.The stretching then caused those cells to contract，which moved the tail from side to side and allowed it to swim on its own.The muscle cells were from human stem cells.The researchers also engineered an autonomous pacing node，which acted like a pacemaker by controlling the rhythm and frequency of the contractions.
    The fish moved autonomously for over 108 days，which is equal to 38 million beats，the study states.Because heart cells constantly rebuild themselves，which takes about 20 days，the fish cells rebuilt themselves a total of about five times over，says Kit Parker，a professor from Harvard University who led the research.
    Years ago，Parker was disappointed with the state of heart treatment. "It occurred to me in 2007 that we might have failed to understand the fundamental laws of muscular pumps，" he said in a 2012 statement.Then，on a trip to the museum with his daughter，he spotted a special fish. "I'm looking at it，thinking， 'It pumps，it looks like a heart pump，and I could build that thing.'" In 2012，his team created a fish that swam using rat heart cells，and then a ray fish with rat heart cells in 2016.
    Though the researchers say the fish is a step forward for heart research，it could be years before it leads to the creation of an artificial heart，says Michael Schneider，a professor at Imperial College London，who wasn't involved in the study.But that doesn't dismay Parker. "I think other methods will be faster than us，" says Parker. "But in the long run，creating tissue that relies on the patient's own cells could offer unexpected benefits."

（1）What made the fish swim autonomously in the experiment？
A.The special paper.
B.The push of the fin.
C.Muscle contractions.
D.The support of the tail.
（2）What result probably impressed the researchers most？
A.The power of the pacing node.
B.The swimming speed of the fish.
C.The fish's lasting swimming time.
D.The rhythm of the fish's movement.
（3）Why is Parker's trip to the museum mentioned in Paragraph 4？
A.It gave Parker a good memory.
B.It made Parker find inspiration.
C.It removed Parker's disappointment.
D.It introduced Parker to a special fish.
（4）What does the underlined word "dismay" mean in the last paragraph？
A.Depress.
B.Annoy.
C.Embarrass.
D.Relieve.

201722. （2024•西安中学•一模）     The Stanford marshmallow（棉花糖） test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s.Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room.A single sugary treat，selected by the child，was placed on a table.Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat，they would be given a second treat.Then they were left alone in the room.Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
    As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day.We're not tempted（诱惑） by sugary treats，but by our computers，phones，and tablets-all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
    We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world，and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value-a feeling of reward and satisfaction.But as we've reshaped the world around us，dramatically reducing （the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories，we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago，and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn't eat.
    A similar process is at work in our response to information.Our formative environment as a species was information-poor，so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information.But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment.We are now ceaselessly bombarded（轰炸） with new information.Therefore，just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption，we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption，resisting the temptation of the mental"junk food"in order to manage our time most effectively.

（1）What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel's test？
A.Take an examination alone.
B.Show respect for the researchers.
C.Share their treats with others.
D.Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
（2）According to paragraph 3，there is a mismatch between        .
A.the calorie-poor world and our good appetites
B.the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C.the rich food supply and our unchanged brains
D.the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
（3）What does the author suggest readers do？
A.Absorb new information readily.
B.Be selective information consumers.
C.Use diverse information sources.
D.Protect the information environment.
（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？
A.Eat Less，Read More
B.The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C.The Later，the Better
D.The Marshmallow Test for Grownups

201656. （2025•高新一中•十模） Developing Happiness：Strengthening Your Reward Sensitivity In our busy lives，we often pass up chances for joy.We might skip a birthday party or cancel a lunch date，thinking it's not worth the trouble.But this usually makes us feel even more down later.The secret to changing this is to strengthen"reward sensitivity". （1）
    Reward sensitivity is like a muscle.It can grow stronger with regular practice.When we train ourselves to notice and value positive emotions，we can become happier. （2）       They often struggle to feel pleasure，a condition called anhedonia（unable to experience joy）.A 2023 study showed that therapy focusing on positive emotions helps mental health more than treatments just reducing negative symptoms.
    A great way to strengthen reward sensitivity is to plan a small，fun activity daily. （3）       Describe it in detail，focusing on the feelings and experiences.This practice，known as "savoring（尽情享受），"makes positive feelings stronger and gives you more motivation to seek similar experiences in the future.
    （4）       Instead of simply labeling an experience "good""，use more precise words like "thrilled，""inspired，or"peaceful".Sharing positive moments with others can make these moments even more meaningful，strengthening social bonds and spreading happiness.
    It's important to remember that embracing happiness doesn't mean ignoring pain. （5）       By using these strategies in your daily life，you can cultivate a stronger sense of reward sensitivity and change how you experience and pursue happiness.

A.Afterward，take a moment to recall the experience.
B.It's the ability to find and truly enjoy positive experiences.
C.We often avoid such activities，which make our mood decline.
D.This is especially important for those with depression or anxiety.
E.This practice helps you better understand and enjoy positive feelings.
F.Beyond savoring，expanding your emotional vocabulary can also help.
G.Despite life's challenges，feeling joy helps restore balance and toughness.

201721. （2024•西安中学•一模）     Many people have dreamt to find a cancer cure.Now，a pill might provide some insight into their dreams.
   The medicine，AOH1996，also called the"cancer-killing pill"，explicitly targets the protein that encourages cancer cells to spread across the body.It prevents proliferating cell nuclear antigen（PCNA细胞增殖核抗原） with a tiny molecule.Up to August 2023，it is being evaluated in Phase I clinical studies for the treatment of solid cancers.
   Cancer is a condition in which abnormal cells continue to proliferate uncontrollably，causing the tissue to be destroyed.About one in six deaths were due to cancer in 2020，making it the top cause of death globally.
   According to a recent study published in Cell Chemical Biology，City of Hope researchers have discovered a novel method to treat cancer using a special tablet that can get rid of solid tumors.AOH1996 differs from other targeted cancer therapies in this respect，where other approaches may cause a tumor to change and develop more resistance to treatment.
   According to City of Hope Professor Linda Malkas，the research team created a medicine specifically targeting the kind of PCNA seen in cancer cells since data indicate that PCNA is distinctively changed in cancer cells.The novel cancer medicine acts like a snowstorm closing a significant airport，stopping only flights from and to aircraft carrying cancer cells.
   "Results have been promising.AOH1996 can prevent tumor growth in cell and animal models.The drug is currently in Phase I clinical trial in humans at City of Hope."
   Treatment of lung，brain and skin cancers with AOH1996 haown to be effective.It kills specific cells by stopping them from replicating（复制） typically.To assess this medicine for potential future use，more clinical studies are planned.

（1）What can we know about PCNA？
A.It is a pill that cures solid cancer.
B.It is a medicine that prevents tumor growth.
C.It is a molecule targeted by the cancer-killing pill AOH1996.
D.It is a protein that causes cancer cells to spread across the body.
（2）Why is AOH1996 different from other cancer drugs？
A.It has cured many patients' cancers.
B.It will develop drug resistance.
C.It is a natural product collected from plants.
D.It has less side effects than other cancer drugs.
（3）What does the author want to express by saying"The novel cancer medicine acts like a snowstorm closing a significant airport..""？
A.AOH1996 targets cancer cells without harming healthy cells.
B.AOH1996 has caused chaos in the medical field.
C.AOH1996 is highly effective but inefficient in treating cancer patients.

201693. （2024•西工大附中•模拟） California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s，according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor．
    The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46，000 square miles of California forests，the new study finds．No area was spared or unaffected，from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles．In the Sierra high country，the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent；in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent．
   Many factors contributed to the decline，said Patrick Mclntyre，an ecologist who was the lead author of the study．Woodcutters targeted big trees．Housing development pushed into the woods．Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources（资源）．
   But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010，Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development．
    The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage．The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed，taking into account such things as rainfall，air temperature，dampness of soil，and the timing of snowmelt（融雪）．
   Since the 1930s，Mclntyre said，the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures，which cause trees to lose more water to the air，and earlier snowmelt，which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season．

（1）What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．The seriousness of big-tree loss in California．
B．The increasing variety of California big trees．
C．The distribution of big trees in California forests．
D．The influence of farming on big trees in California．
（2）Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees？
A．Ecological studies of forests．
B．Banning woodcutting．
C．Limiting housing development．
D．Fire control measures．
（3）What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre？
A．Inadequate snowmelt．
B．A longer dry season．
C．A warmer climate．
D．Dampness of the air．
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．California's Forests：Where Have All the Big Trees Gone？
B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon．
C．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests？
D．Patrick Mclntyre：Grow More Big Trees in California

201826. （2024•西安中学•九模） In February of 1942，Mexican farmer Dionisio Pulido thought he heard thunder coming from his cornfield.However，the sound wasn't coming from the sky.The source was a large smoking break sending out gas and pushing out rocks.This opening would come to be known as the volcano Paricutin，and over the next 9 years，its lava and ash would cover over 200 square km.But where did this new volcano come from，and what caused its unpredictable eruption？
   One of the most common causes of an eruption is an increase in magmastatic（静磁）pressure.Magma（岩浆）contains various elements and compounds.At high enough concentrations，compounds like water or sulfur（硫）form high-pressure gas bubbles.When these balls of gas reach the surface，they can burst with the force of a gunshot.And when millions of bubbles explode，the energy can send ash into the air.But before they pop or burst，they act like bubbles of CO₂ in a shaken soda.
   Not all eruptions are due to rising magmastatic pressure- sometimes the weight of the rock above can become dangerously low.Landslides can remove massive quantities of rock from atop a magma chamber or room，dropping the pressure and instantly touching off an eruption.This process is known as "unloading" and it's been responsible for numerous eruptions，including the sudden explosion of Mount St.Helens in 1980.But unloading can also happen over longer periods of time due heating ice or melting glaciers.In fact，many geologists are worried that glacial melt caused by climate change could increase volcanic activity.
   Unfortunately，knowing what causes eruptions doesn't make them easy to predict.While scientists can roughly determine the strength and weight of the Earth's crust（地壳），the depth and heat of magma chambers makes measuring changes in magmastatic pressure very difficult.But volcanologists are constantly exploring new technology to overcome this rocky field.Advances in thermal imaging（热成像）have allowed scientists to detect underground hotspots.Spectrometers can analyze gases escaping magma.Hopefully，these tools will help us better understand these gas breaks and their explosive eruptions.

（1）Why does the author mention the story of a farmer in the first paragraph？
A．To show the power of volcano eruption.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To introduce the volcano Paricutin.
D．To explain the reason.
（2）What does the underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refer to？
A．The bubbles of CO₂ .
B．The ash of the volcano.
C．Gas bubbles of compounds.
D．The elements of a soda.
（3）Which of the following is true about the eruption of Mount St.Helens？
A．Landslideould be responsible for its eruption.
B．It began to explode over a long period of time.
C．The process of "unloading" occurred after its explosion.
D．The weight of the rock above it increased as to cause its eruption.
（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．Scientists can determine the eruption of volcano in advance.
B．It is quite difficult to measure the weight of the Earth's crust.
C．Spectrometers can help scientists to detect underground hotspots.
D．Scientists are positive about further study of volcano eruption.

201580. （2025•长安区•一模） Kindness May Keep You Healthy If you are driving in the United States，you may see a common bumper （汽车保险杠） sticker on passing vehicles that reads：（1）       The saying is meant to urge people to behave in a gentle，caring，and helpful way towards others without thinking or planning ahead.
    Research shows that doing kind things can make us feel better.In one experiment，Brian Are，an anthropologist （人类学家） at Duke University，asked a group of people to perform three acts of generosity for other individuals each week.（2）       The people who were caring，gentle and friendly towards others reported experiencing contentment，satisfaction and happiness.
    （3）       Lyubomirsky studied a group of people with the disease Multiple Sclerosis （多发性硬化）.She found that they felt better physically when helping others.Her research also pointed out that people showing kindness to others had less inflammation （炎症） in their bodies.And in other studies，Lyubomirsky said more anti-viral genes were found in people who extended a helping hand to other people.
    Other research haown that many people prize kindness above other values.In one study，researchers gave people a list of values —such as kindness，creativity，ambition，tradition，security，seeking social justice，and seeking power.（4）
    "The basic reason why people are kind，" Oliver Curry，explained，the research director at Kind-lab that is a non-profit organization， "is that we are social animals.（5）       " In other words，we are designed to be kind.

A.Acts of kindness are very powerful.
B.Kindness is as much a part of us as our anger，grief or desire.
C.However，being kind is not just emotionally beneficial.
D.Perform random acts of kindness.

201864. （2024•西安一中•三模）     The 2023 EF English Proficiency （水平） Index （EPI） that measures English language ability worldwide shows a worrying problem about English language proficiency.The index is based on test results from 2.2 million people in 113 countries.
    Results were reported for the first time in 2015.Since then，the English proficiency of young people has decreased by 89 points.The EPI defines young people as being 18 to 20 years of age，and it notes that they are mostly stable with big decreases in a few large countries.India，Indonesia and Mexico showed the largest ability decreases among youth.
    The report noted that the decrease appears to have taken place when the COVID-19 pandemic impacts normal education.There has been a decrease in Mexico for nearly 10 years.However，working adults，about 26 years old and older，have been improving their English since 2015.It is still widely acknowledged that the value of a shared language is most recognized in the workplace.English creates possibilities for individuals and productivity for organizations.
    Results also show a difference between men and women，which is called a gender gap.Men's English ability has improved by 14 points since 2015，while women's has decreased by 19 points.The lack of women in international jobs is one reason for the gender gap.But the gender gap among those aged 18 to 25 might demonstrate a problem caused by educational systems themselves or a social problem schools are failing to address.
    There are different opinions about why the decrease exists.Many people think artificial intelligence （or AI） tools could also be a key reason.Jeannie Tse is a country manager at EF Hong Kong and Macau.He thinks that while AI has changed the way young people work and learn，the importance of schools，teachers and face-to-face instruction remains. "I don't believe that AI can completely replace language learning，but educators can use AI to enhance language learning methods，" said Jeannie Tse.

（1）Why are working adults trying to improve their English？        ?
A．To increase their income and knowledge.
B．To be involved in better working environment.

201806. （2024•西安中学•七模）     Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in Shrewsbury，England.His father，a doctor，had high hopes that his son would earn a medical degree at Edinburgh University in Scotland，where he was admitted at the age of sixteen.It turned out that Darwin was more interested in natural history than medicine.While he continued his studies at Cambridge，it was his focus on natural history that became his passion.
    In 1831，Darwin set out on a voyage as a naturalist aboard a ship of the British Royal Navy，the HMS Beagle.The main purpose of the trip was to survey the coastline of South America and chart its harbors to make better maps of the region.
    Darwin spent much of the trip on land collecting samples of plants，animals，rocks，and fossils.He explored regions in Brazil，Argentina，Chile，and remote islands such as the Galápagos.He packed all of his samples into large wooden containers and sent them back to England aboard other large ships.
    Upon his return to England in 1836，Darwin's work continued.Studies of his samples and notes from the trip led to groundbreaking scientific discoveries.Fossils he collected led to advances in the understanding of the processes that shape the Earth's surface.Darwin's analysis of the plants and animals he gathered led him to question how species form and change over time.This work convinced him of the insight that he is most famous for —natural selection.The theory of natural selection says that individuals of a species are more likely to survive in their environment and pass on their genes to the next generation when they inherit traits from their parents that are best suited for that specific environment.In this way，such traits become more widespread in the species and can lead eventually to the development of a new species.
    In 1859，Darwin published his thoughts about evolution and natural selection in On the Origin of Species.The book convinced many people that species change over time —a lot of time—suggesting that the planet was much older than what was commonly believed at the time：six thousand years.
    Charles Darwin died in 1882 at the age of seventy-three.He is buried in Westminster Abbey in London，England.

（3）What kind of animal is more likely to survive according to natural selection？
A.An animal that can pass on its genes to the next generation.
B.An animal that can lead to the development of a new kind of species.
C.An animal that receives its parents' features fit for the specific environment.
D.An animal whose parents teach it to survive from the specific environment.

201568. （2025•西工大附中•十一模）     In the cutthroat world of artificial intelligence，long dominated by Silicon Valley，DeepSeek has emerged as an impressive new player.Since its debut in late 2023，this Chinese AI has stirred global attention，representing more than just another technological innovation.It's a complex phenomenon that reflects the shifting landscape of innovation，power and cultural influence in the AI-driven era.
    Developed by Quantum Think Labs in Shenzhen，DeepSeek was created by a team of ex-Google Brain engineers and Peking University experts.DeepSeek is not your average chatbot.Trained on an astonishing 20 trillion tokens，this multimodal model showcases linguistic proficiency，code generation capabilities and reasoning skills that rival or surpass its Western counterparts.What truly sets DeepSeek apart is its remarkable efficiency，delivering GPT-4-level performance with 30 percent less computational power.
    In a strategic move，Quantum Think made a"lite"version of DeepSeek open source，a decision that has sparked widespread adoption across the globe.Developers from cities like Lagos to Jakarta have quickly embraced it to create poetry generators and AI-powered farm management tools for rural India.
    However，DeepSeek's growing influence is not without challenges.There are concerns that US government may block American firms from using DeepSeek，mentioning data security concerns.Tariff（关税） war could also be on the cards.Yet，such moves might backfire，potentially harming US startups that benefit from DeepSeek's cost advantages.
    The future of AI，with DeepSeek at the center，remains a mystery.Will it trigger a tech battle between the US and China，or will its open-source roots foster global collaboration？DeepSeek's story is not just about technology；it's about the power of innovation and agency.
    For too long，the AI narrative has been dominated by Western powers.Now，a Chinese lab haown that innovation is not exclusive to the West.Whether we enter an AI arms race or begin a new era of global cooperation depends on how we choose to use and share this technology.As a Brazilian coder said，the future of AI must speak the language of both the developed and developing world to truly succeed.

（1）What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？
A.The creation of DeepSeek.
B.The definition of DeepSeek.
C.The strengths of DeepSeek.

201825. （2024•西安中学•九模）     From the world's last seven to a global population of more than 5，000，China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises（朱鹗）from the edge of extinction.
    With its typical red crest and face，as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers，the crested ibis is known as "the oriental gem" in China.They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting，ecological damage and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.
    In 1981，the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County，northwest China's Shaanxi Province，and deep in the Qinling Mountains，making Qinling，a natural boundary between China's north and south，the last shelter of the wild birds.
    Since 1981，the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species，prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas，cutting down trees where they nest，using chemicals in their food-finding areas，and firing guns in their breeding（繁殖）areas.The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises，sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds' living areas.China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and had bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi as of last year.
    Years of constant effort have brought promising results.It is estimated that there are more than 5，000 crested ibises in the world now，and a majority of them live in Shaanxi.The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15，000 square km.
    "It is lucky that the crested ibis，an ancient bird，is still flying around，" said Zan Linsen，head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. "The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life，but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection."
