熱點01以DeepSeek為代表的技術革新

［然點解讀

以DeepSeek為代表的人工智能技術通過個性化學習路徑和智能交互工具重塑了傳統教育場景。例如，

通過分析學生的學習習慣和能力差異，DeepSeek可生成定制化學習方案（如推薦針對性練習題或調整教學

節奏），其自然語言處理能力還能模擬師生互動，幫助學生解答英語閱讀中的長難句理解問題。這種技術應

用不僅提升了學習效率，還緩解了教育資源分配不均的難題。

DeepSeek的普及在推動社會進步的同時也帶來倫理與就業挑戰。例如，在英語閱讀材料中可能涉及“AI

替代基礎翻譯崗位”的案例，或討論DeepSeek的低成本開源特性如何助力中小企業發展（如某公司通過AI

優化客戶服務流程）。此類主題要求學生在閱讀中辯證分析技術革新，既要理解其提升生產效率的積極面，

也需關注隱私保護、職業轉型等潛在問題。

DeepSeek的全球化應用體現了技術革新在國際競爭與合作中的關鍵作用。例如，閱讀文本可能描述中

國AI模型DeepSeek-Rl以低成本突破技術壁壘，推動全球科研協作（如德國科學家利用其開源代碼開展實

驗），或探討技術標準國際化對教育公平的促進（如偏遠地區學校通過AI工具獲取優質教育資源）。這類內

容要求學生結合案例理解技術如何成為國家軟實力的重要組成部分。

【答案與解析】本文是一篇新聞報道。文章主要介紹了中國人工智能應用程序DeepSeek在全球獲得成功，

但也面臨來自國外的批評等挑戰。

1.詞句猜測題。根據第三段“intaskssuchasmath,coding,andlanguagereasoning,themodelworkswellasthe

topmodelsfrombigcompanieslikeOpenAI,andinsomefields,itevenoutperformstheworld'sbestapps.”可矢口，

前文提到在一些任務中該模型和大公司頂級模型表現一樣好，后面“even”表示遞進，可推理出在一些領域它

比世界上最好的應用程序表現得更好。故選C。

2.細節理解題。根據第三段"Itisreportedthatthismodelmadeanimportantbreakthroughbyusingdeeplearning

techniquesthatlettheAIdevelopreasoning(推理)skillsonitsown.”可知AI能自主推理，①正確；根據第四段

“Whatimpressestheworldmostisthatthedevelopersusedlesspowerfulchipsthanthoseusedbyleading

competitors.Moreover,boththenumberofchipsandthenumberofdevelopersontheteamarelowerthanthoseof

industryleaders.Thismeansthatthecostforuserswillbelowerthanthatofferedbyothercompetitors.”可矢口，使用

更弱的芯片、更少的芯片和更少的開發者且成本更低，故③④⑤⑥正確；文中提到在一些領域表現更好，

并非所有領域，②錯誤。故選A。

3.細節理解題。根據第五段"MarcAndreessen,awell-knowninvestorinSiliconValley,saidonX(Twitter),

'DeepseekRIisoneofthemostamazingandimpressivebreakthroughsFveeverseen.'",馬克?安德森是硅谷知
