“Good morning, passengers! Welcome aboard Bus No. 38.” At 6:30 AM, the cool morning breeze blows as
Feng Zhiliang, a 43-year-old driver with 15 years’ experience at Handan Public Transport, greets the first
passengers. Seated in the driver’s cab, he fastens his seatbelt, ready to set off.
Feng’s recent viral video comes from his bilingual (双语的) stop announcements in Chinese and English,
captivating netizens. Some remark, “It’s like a luxurious flight for just two yuan!”, praising Handan’s harmonious
combination of tradition and modernity.
This transformation started when Feng greeted a group of foreign passengers with “Hello. Happy New Year!”
during the Spring Festival. Encouraged by their positive feedback, he saw an opportunity to serve the many
foreigners riding his bus. Determined to improve communication, Feng started an English learning journey.
Starting from zero, he was buried in online courses, sought English materials, and used translation software to
enhance his skills. Today, his bilingual announcements reflect his dedication and Handan’s cultural charm.
Each evening, after dropping off his last passengers, Feng returned home around 9:00 pm, exhausted but
determined. Despite his tiredness, he’d continue studying for an hour, even making the best of his 20-minute break.
Inspired by his colleagues and after three years of unstopped preparation, Feng boldly tried bilingual

passengers, strengthening his resolve to make bilingual announcements an essential part.

become a goal and a cherished wish.”
Now, over a year and a half later, Feng’s bilingual announcements have gathered a devoted fan base.
Passengers eagerly board the No. 38 bus to immerse themselves in his enriching language experience, while parents
bring their children along for the educational ride. Feng’s dedication has transformed his routine bus rides into
linguistic adventures, captivating hearts and minds alike.

Forgetting is a fact of life that many people find frustrating. But growing evidence pushes back at the belief
that a slip or escape in our recollection is evidently bad. Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope
psychologically or let go of useless knowledge.
In a new study, neuroscientist Tomas Ryan of Trinity College Dubli and his colleagues have examined the
fundamental biology underlying a form of forgetting we experience every day. Their work suggests that when we
can’t recall an old phone number or a high school teacher’s name, those details are not necessarily lost.
As Ryan explained to Mind Matters editor Daisy Yuhas, forgetting may be an active process that the brain uses
to support learning. He also discussed how dementia (痴呆) may ultimately effect disordered forgetting more than
第5页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司lost memories.
You study an idea that some people may find counter-intuitive (反直觉的): forgetting can be part of learning.
How so? We often think of forgetting as a loss of the brain power or a limitation. Memory loss from dementia or
brain injury, for example, can be devastating. But we also experience “everyday forgetting” as we go about our
lives because there’s just so much going on. We’re expected to learn and retain many things in order to function in
modern society. Some are quite arbitrary, such as having to memorize facts you’ll never need again for school
exams. Others are not so arbitrary but are still quite demanding, such as the knowledge you build to become a
practicing doctor.
Although we may think of forgetting as a trouble, and it often is, it could be a feature of the brain rather than a
bug. A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting.
So forgetting comes in many forms?
There are different kinds that people generally consider distinct. We may use the word amnesia (健忘症) for a
kind of forgetting that most people would agree is neither adaptive nor beneficial. Some forms of amnesia make it
difficult to form new memories while others make it difficult to recall memories formed before an injury.
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?
A. By defining a concept. B. By presenting a study result.
C. By making comparison. D. By giving an example.
29. What does the author agree in the passage?
A. Dementia mainly results in lost memories.
B. Forgetting means imperfection of the brain.
C. It’s terrible that the best friend’s name escapes me.
D. The knowledge you need to be a teacher is not arbitrary.
30. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?
A. Scientists think forgetting limits our life.
.
B Neuroscientists are researching the adaptive role of forgetting.
C. People would agree that amnesia is harmful in most condition.
D. Amnesia definitely makes it challenging to recollect memories.
31. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the reasons of forgetting. B. To present the process of forgetting.
C. To emphasize the benefits of forgetting. D. To clarify the misunderstanding of forgetting.
D
Chinese start-up DeepSeek has sent shock waves through the artificial intelligence world and created a headache
第6页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司for the United States. Its AI assistant overtook its Western rival ChatGPT to become the top-rated free app in the U.S.,
delivering a trillion dollar blow to the U.S. tech firms on the stock market.
DeepSeek claims that it trained its models in two months for about $5.6 million, using fewer chips than typical
AI models. The U.S.-based OpenAI was reported to have spent around $100 million to develop GPT-4. Kristian
Hammond, a professor of computer science at Northwestern University, told Newsweek, “If they are telling the truth,
DeepSeek will have a significant impact.” He says, “OpenAI has argued that we cannot support their software locally,
but DeepSeek demonstrates that we can. And the fact that DeepSeek could be built for less money, less computation
and less time and can be run locally on less expensive machines, argues that as everyone was racing toward bigger
and bigger, we missed the opportunity to build smarter and smaller.”
DeepSeek’s success in the U.S. has been attributed to its accessibility, cost-effectiveness and performance.
However, the rise of DeepSeek has also sparked discussions about AI ethics and workforce adaptation. While some
experts urge cautious regulation, others argue that DeepSeek’s transparent approach sets a positive precedent (先例) for
responsible AI development.
DeepSeek aims to expand its global footprint, with plans to collaborate with educational institutions to nurture
AI talent and launch community-driven projects to address societal challenges like climate change and resource
management. DeepSeek represents a bold step toward an AI-augmented future. By balancing innovation with ethical
responsibility, it has not only won industry recognition but also inspired confidence in AI’s potential to drive
meaningful change. As adoption grows, DeepSeek is ready to redefine how industries operate, proving that intelligent
technology, when used wisely, can truly transform the world.
32. What can we infer from Kristian Hammond’s words?
.
A OpenAI is not as valuable as before because of DeepSeck.
B. Everyone has been focusing on building bigger AI models.
C. OpenAI’s argument about software support is reasonable.
D. DeepSeek is not as good as other AI models in performance.
33. What is the main reason for DeepSeek’s success in the US according to the third paragraph?
A. Its high price which guarantees quality.
B. Its inaccessibility making it more attractive.
C. Its ease of access, cost efficiency and functionality.
D. Its secretive approach to AI development.
34. What is the attitude of experts toward DeepSeek’s rise?
A. They are completely against it due to AI ethics concerns.
B. Some think it sets a bad precedent for AI development.
第7页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. Some call for caution, while others see it as a good tool.
D. They are indifferent to its development and future.
35. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. DeepSeek’s success in the U.S., impact on AI, and future plans.
B. Comparison between DeepSeek and ChatGPT,GPT-4.
C. Ethical concerns from DeepSeek’s rise in the AI field.
D. How DeepSeek trained models at a low cost.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day.
How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French
toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff
knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They
decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the
French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into
the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going
smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna
threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it
cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge
boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the
stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But
Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she
caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。
