以DeepSeek为代表的技术革新-2025年中考英语复习专练

热点01以DeepSeek为代表的技术革新

［然点解读

以DeepSeek为代表的人工智能技术通过个性化学习路径和智能交互工具重塑了传统教育场景。例如，

通过分析学生的学习习惯和能力差异，DeepSeek可生成定制化学习方案（如推荐针对性练习题或调整教学

节奏），其自然语言处理能力还能模拟师生互动，帮助学生解答英语阅读中的长难句理解问题。这种技术应

用不仅提升了学习效率，还缓解了教育资源分配不均的难题。

DeepSeek的普及在推动社会进步的同时也带来伦理与就业挑战。例如，在英语阅读材料中可能涉及“AI

替代基础翻译岗位”的案例，或讨论DeepSeek的低成本开源特性如何助力中小企业发展（如某公司通过AI

优化客户服务流程）。此类主题要求学生在阅读中辩证分析技术革新，既要理解其提升生产效率的积极面，

也需关注隐私保护、职业转型等潜在问题。

DeepSeek的全球化应用体现了技术革新在国际竞争与合作中的关键作用。例如，阅读文本可能描述中

国AI模型DeepSeek-Rl以低成本突破技术壁垒，推动全球科研协作（如德国科学家利用其开源代码开展实

验），或探讨技术标准国际化对教育公平的促进（如偏远地区学校通过AI工具获取优质教育资源）。这类内

容要求学生结合案例理解技术如何成为国家软实力的重要组成部分。

【答案与解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国人工智能应用程序DeepSeek在全球获得成功，

但也面临来自国外的批评等挑战。

1.词句猜测题。根据第三段“intaskssuchasmath,coding,andlanguagereasoning,themodelworkswellasthe

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

前文提到在一些任务中该模型和大公司顶级模型表现一样好，后面“even”表示递进，可推理出在一些领域它

比世界上最好的应用程序表现得更好。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据第三段"Itisreportedthatthismodelmadeanimportantbreakthroughbyusingdeeplearning

techniquesthatlettheAIdevelopreasoning(推理)skillsonitsown.”可知AI能自主推理，①正确；根据第四段

“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开发者且成本更低，故③④⑤⑥正确；文中提到在一些领域表现更好，

并非所有领域，②错误。故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据第五段"MarcAndreessen,awell-knowninvestorinSiliconValley,saidonX(Twitter),
