In recent years, Chinese companies have kept breaking new world records by organizing wonderful drone (无人机) light shows at night. These shows have amazed people all over the world.

In June of last year, a company in Chongqing set a record by flying 11,787 drones at the same time to light up the sky. Months later, another company used 4,060 more drones than the first show and broke the record. But it too only held the record for a few months, as in February this year, a company from Guangdong set a new record with an amazing show of 22,580 AI-controlled drones.

On February 3, 2026, people in Hefei, Anhui Province enjoyed a fantastic light show. The Chinese drone company EHang Egret sent up 22,580 drones. Using AI swarm intelligence, the company controlled all drones perfectly, with no collisions (碰撞). The drones formed beautiful 3D patterns like Chinese lanterns and city views in the sky.

1.1.How many drones were used in the second show?

A 15,847.

B 11,787.

C 22,580.

D 4,060.

解析：选A。A数字计算题。根据文章第二段可知，第一场表演使用了11,787架无人机，第二场表演比第一场多使用了4,060架，两数相加得到15,847架，故选A。选项B是第一场的数量；选项C是第三场创纪录的数量；选项D是两场表演的无人机数量之差，均不符合题意。故选A。

2.2. Where was the latest light show held?

A In Guangdong.

B In Chongqing.

C In Anhui.

D In Beijing.

解析：选C。C细节理解题。文章第二段提到广东的一家公司创造了新纪录，紧接着第三段指出2026年2月3日，安徽合肥的人们欣赏了一场由22,580架无人机带来的表演，且该公司为亿航智能，由此可确定最近一次表演的举办地在安徽，故选C。选项A是公司所在地，并非表演地点；选项B是第一次创纪录的表演地；选项D在文中未提及。故选C。

3.3. What can we learn about the AI swarm control from the Hefei show?

A It was messy.

B It was successful.

C It was costly.

D It was slow.

解析：选B。B细节理解题。根据第三段中“Using AI swarm intelligence, the company controlled all drones perfectly, with no collisions.”可知，AI集群控制完美且无碰撞，说明控制非常成功，故选B。文中描述为“perfectly”，并未体现混乱、昂贵或速度慢，因此A、C、D三项均与文章内容不符。故选B。

4.4. What might the drone swarm technology be used for in the future?

A Making lanterns.

B Building cities.

C Fighting enemies.

D Drawing pictures.

解析：选C。C细节理解题。文章最后一段提到“In theory, large groups of cheap AI drones could break through strong enemy defences”无人机集群技术理论上可利用大批量智能无人机突破敌方防御，可用于对抗敌人；A 选项制作灯笼、B 选项建造城市、D 选项画画，均是无人机表演呈现的画面效果，并非该技术未来的应用方向，不符合题意，予以排除。故选C。

5.5. What is the best title for this passage?

A The History of Light Shows.

B World Record Light Shows.

C Ways of Controlling Drones.

D China’s Progress in Drones.

解析：选D。D主旨大意题。文章先通过几次创纪录的无人机灯光秀引出话题，再以合肥表演为例展示技术细节，最后总结这些表演不仅美丽，更展示了中国在高科技领域的巨大进步。全文的核心是借助灯光秀说明中国在无人机技术上的领先与进步，因此最佳标题是D。选项A中的“历史”文中没有涉及；选项B只突出了“纪录”和“灯光秀”，过于片面；选项C“控制无人机的方法”仅在合肥表演时提及，并非全文主旨。故选D。
