Is there anybody who likes doing chores Should children help out around the house For
most parents, they may have a hard time getting their children to do chores at home. For children,
doing chores may be the last thing they want to do. But it is different for the 6-year-old boy,
Momo. The video of his daily morning routine(日常) will surprise you. The video was posted by
his mother and she is so glad about her son’s independence.
The video follows the boy from the moment he wakes up at 6 o’clock. He picks out his
1
clothes and cleans them. In the bathroom, the boy stands on a chair, and begins brushing his teeth
and washing his face. The next step is for him to fill the bathroom’s tissue dispenser(纸 架 ).
Heading to the kitchen, the boy begins preparing two eggs, dumplings and a cup of tea. Once he
has finished eating, he cleans all of the plates and cups.
You’d think that he would stop there, but the boy then moves on to other chores. He uses the
bathroom, and quickly cleans the toilet, and even the shower. After washing his hands, he does
some washing. While the machine is running, he vacuums(用吸尘器清扫) his bed, clears the dust
from the machine and sweeps the floor of the living room. In the end, he gets fully dressed and
goes to school.
The video has been viewed over 28 million times since it was shared online. It also got 1.9
million likes and 33,000 comments. People are surprised to see the child doing so many chores.
“The boy is so great that he is well-organized and independent,” one wrote. There are also people
worrying that the boy might do too much for his age. “So much for enjoying being a kid. He can
do that when he is older,” another wrote.
24. How does the writer start the passage

B. Momo’s video enjoys great popularity among Internet-users.
C. Many people are surprised because of Momo’s dependence.
27. Which is the best title for the passage
A. The Importance of Doing Chores
B. Different Ways of Letting Children do Chores
C. A 6-year-old Boy Who Does Chores at Home
C
In my childhood, my mother had a special routine in the evening. Sometimes she would knit(
编 织 ) hats for us, and other times, she made cookies. But one day, she surprised us all by
announcing(宣布), “I am going to call one neighbor every night.” I was 16 then and couldn’t
understand why she would spend her evenings talking to people she seldom knew.
One evening, I overheard(无意中听到) her talk with an elderly lady. She asked about the
lady’s dinner and even discussed the blooming(盛放的) roses in the park. When she hung up, I
questioned her choices of topics(话题), finding them trivial. With a kind smile, she said, “I might
be the only person she talked to today. So even the simplest talks can make her feel cared about.”
It wasn’t until nearly 30 years later that I realized the true meaning of my mother’s nightly
calls. The elderly often feel lonely for different reasons. As people age, they may experience
losing their friends and family members. And health problems can make it harder for the elderly to
join in social activities. Retirement(退休) can also make them feel lonelier than they were when
2
working.
My mother’s words were more than just friendly talks — they were lifelines(救生索) for
lonely elderly. Her calls connected them to the world outside. Her determination(决心) and social
skills in keeping these connections were more than I could understand, and I wish I could do better.
28. What does the underlined word “trivial” mean in the passage
A. Serious. B. Meaningful. C. Unimportant.
29. Why did the writer’s mother call her neighbors every night
A. She wanted to make them feel cared about.
B. The neighbors kept on talking with the mother.
C. She enjoyed talking about dinner and the roses in the parks.
30. How many reasons are mentioned for the elderly feeling lonely according to the passage
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four.
31. How did the phone calls make a difference to the elderly neighbors
A. They encouraged them to retire early.
B. They made their health problems worse.
C. They served as a connection to the world outside.
第二节（共 4 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 8 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Being a class leader(领导者) is a hard job. Class leaders help teachers with different kinds of
things, such as keeping the class in order, working with other class leaders to organize activities
and so on.
How can one be a good class leader Well, the first thing is to be a good role model, and this
can help build students’ trust. “You must have something that is worth(值得) being admired(钦佩)
by your classmates, 32. __________________” said Wang Weihua, an expert in education.
Of course, teachers usually choose certain students to be class leaders because they are
already able to do so. Or they will not be chosen. 33. __________________ “This is the key to the
problem. Once they do this, they needn’t ask the teacher for help and they can fulfill the
responsibility(履行责任) by themselves,” Wang added.
Here is some advice to win other students’ support(支持)。

treat them like everyone else. Don’t be arrogant(傲慢的) when you talk to anyone of your
classmate.

IV．读写综合（共两节，满分 25 分）
第一节 简答（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
For almost two months, the world has been very excited about a new AI model called
DeepSeek-R1. The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, is a business based in Hangzhou,
Zhejiang.
The new AI first appeared on January 20, 2025. In just one week, it beat OpenAI’s ChatGPT
and became number one free app.
According to DeepSeek, the new AI model is as good at difficult activities like math as other
big-time models. But it needs much less computing power(算力) to do that. It is also the cheapest
of its kind and took only about 5.57 million US dollars (40.58 million yuan) to make. That is
much less than the hundreds of millions or even billions that US businesses have to spend on
making similar AI models, said Marc Andreessen, a technology expert in the US.
DeepSeek mainly uses the Reinforcement Learning(RL, 强化学习) instead of the traditional
ways. RL helps AI learn by working out the right way to do things on its own. This makes R1
better at reasoning(推理) and solving hard problems.
What’s more, DeepSeek-R1 is open-source(开源的). Everyone is free to get a copy of its
code(代码). They can also change the code to meet their own needs. Being open-source is very
important for sharing knowledge and making technology better for everyone, said Liang Wenfeng,
who set up DeepSeek.
56. How long has DeepSeek excited the world
57. When did DeepSeek come out
58. Does DeepSeek cost less than any other AI model
59. How does RL help AI learn
60. What do you think of DeepSeek

Volunteer Activities in Lei Feng Month
March is the month to learn from Lei Feng. As students, we should learn the spirit of Lei
Feng. As for our class, some classmates plan to go to the animal hospital to care for animals. They
will feed them and clean their living places. Some classmates want to go to the old people’s home
to read the newspaper for the elderly and chat with them to make them happy. Others are going to
the park to pick up rubbish and plant trees.
Taking part in volunteer activities can help us develop a sense of responsibility and make our
society a better place.
