21、California start-up OpenAI has released a chatbot (chat robot) able to answer a variety of questions, but its impressive performance has reopened the debate on the risks linked to AI technologies.
Posted on Twitter by fascinated users, the conversations with the chatbot called ChatGPT show a kind of omniscient (无所不知的) machine, from explaining scientific concepts to writing scenes for a play, university essays or even functional lines of computer code.
“Its answer to the question ‘what to do if someone has a heart attack’ was incredibly clear and relevant,” Claude de Loupy, an expert in automatic text generation told AFP. “When you start asking very specific questions, ChatGPT’s response can be off the mark, but its overall performance remains ‘really impressive’ with a ‘high level’.” he said.
A few years ago, chatbots had the vocabulary of a dictionary and the memory of a goldfish. Now Chatbots are getting much better at the “history problem” where they act in a manner consistent with the history of responses. The chatbots have graduated from goldfish status.
However, like other programs relying on deep learning, ChatGPT has one major weakness: it doesn’t have access to meaning. The software cannot justify its choices, such as explaining why it picked the words that make up its responses.
AI technologies able to communicate are increasingly worrying some observers. They voice concern that these technologies could be misused to trick people. What does ChatGPT think of the risk? “There are potential dangers in building highly complex chatbots, particularly if they are designed to be indistinguishable from humans in their language and behavior.” the chatbot said.
Open AI CEO Sam Altman shared his ideas on the debates surrounding AI. “Interesting watching people start to debate whether powerful AI systems should behave in the way users want or their creators intend,” he wrote, “The question of whose values we adjust these systems to will be one of the most important debates society ever has.”
【1】How does paragraph 2 show ChatGPT’s wonderful performance?
A．By using figures.
B．By listing examples.
C．By giving definitions.
D．By making comparisons.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “off the mark” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Creative.
B．Inaccurate.
C．Immediate.
D．Objective.
【3】Which statement is Sam Altman most likely to agree with?
A．The value that AI follows remains to be discussed.
B．Advanced AI should go after creators’ intention.
C．The function of AI relies entirely on users.
D．Debates on the application of AI are unnecessary.
22、 In the United States，the baby boomer generation(婴儿潮一代) include those who were born in the time after World War II. Those babies have retired or are now reaching the retirement age. As these adults age, many of their adult children worry about how to take care of their aging parents. In the United States it is not common for several generations to live under one roof. Once children grow up and get married, they move out, leaving their aging parents to care for themselves. When these aging parents can no longer take care of themselves because of age or illness, it is not uncommon for adult children in the US to place their elderly parents in a nursing home.
A nursing home is a place that offers care for the elderly and ill. As the name suggests，nursing homes have professionals including nurses, doctors and social workers to help aging adults deal with the challenges of daily life. And their mental health could be guaranteed for elderly people to get relaxed, accompanied by those of the same age. Most nursing homes also have social activities for the elderly to participate in and keep active. These activities range from games to dance classes, and movie nights. Nursing homes are supposed to provide three nutritious meals for their residents.
Nursing homes are controversial, however. There have been cases across the country of staff in nursing homes treating the elderly residents badly and even robbing them. There are different states and federal agencies that are supposed to oversee(监管) nursing homes. Some people feel that it should be the responsibility of family members, especially adult children, to care for their aging or sick parents. However, many adult children have their own children and families to take care of, and do not have the means to care for their elderly parents; others worry about medical skills needed if their elderly parents are seriously ill. And these problems of caring for parents are bothering more and more adults in the US at present.
【1】The first paragraph mainly about___________.
A.when the baby boomer generation in the US were born
B.whether the elderly and their children should live together
C.why Americans put their elderly parents in nursing homes
D.how Americans look after their aging parents differently
【2】How many advantages of nursing homes are mentioned?
A.Three. B.Four.
C.Five. D.Six.
【3】What’s the writer’s attitude toward sending parents to nursing homes?
A.Indifferent. B.Understandable.
C.Favorable. D.Disapproving.
【4】What’s the purpose of the text?
A.To discuss how to care for aging parents.
B.To ask the government to oversee nursing homes.
C.To prove nursing homes do more harm than good.
D.To show problems faced by American adult children.
23、 Bumblebees(大黄蜂）aren't simply dancing around our gardens.Now,a new study suggests that bumblebees force plants to flower by making small bites in their leaves.
Consuelo De Moraes,a scientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, noticed bumblebees making tiny bites in the leaves of their greenhouse plants.The insects didn't seem to be carrying off the bits of leaves to their nests or eating them.
Supposing the bees were causing the plants to flower,Consuelo De Moraes and his team set up a series of experiments.They placed flowerless tomato plants and two kinds of worker bees in cages.The bees fed with enough pollen(花粉）seldom damaged the plants,while the ones without having pollen for three days busily did so.Scientists then removed the plants after the bees made five to ten holes in their leaves.The small holes caused the tomato plants to flower a month sooner than usual.
＂In a sense,the bees are signaling,'Hey,we need food.Please speed up your flowering, and we'll pollinate(授粉）you."said Lars Chittka,a behavioral scientist at Queen Mary University of London.
To make sure that their discoveries didn't result from the man-made conditions in the lab, the scientists placed bumblebees and a variety of flowerless plant species on their Zurich rooftop in late March 2018.The bees were free to fly as far as they could.Yet they set to work damaging the leaves on all the non-flowering plants nearest to their nests.The bees lost interest in this activity toward the end of April as more flowers came out,according to the study.
The research is of great value,for it can increase the human food supply.However,some questions remain to be answered,like"Why do the bites cause the plants to flower?"and ＂Does flowering early lead to higher fitness for the plants?"
【1】Why did the bumblebees bite the leaves?
A.Because they wanted to eat the leaves.
B.Because they were to get pollen to eat.
C.Because they were exercising to be stronger.
D.Because they would carry the leaves to the nests.
【2】What does the underlined"this activity"in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Dancing on the leaves.
B.Flying as far as they could.
C.Making small holes in the leaves.
D.Damaging the flowers near their nests.
【3】What's the possible benefit of the research?
A.Humans may produce more food.
B.Bumblebees can have more to eat.
C.Some plants can have more flowers.
D.Some plants will gain higher fitness.
【4】What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Bumblebees speed up plants flowering by biting leaves.
B.Human food supply will largely depend on bumblebees.
C.Bumblebees like to damage the plants nearest their nests.
D.Rooftop plants flower more than the ones in greenhouses.
24、Airplanes are known for "making" people sick. Fortunately, I've got the inside scoop on some practices that will keep you healthy on the plane and a head start on staying healthy during your travels.
Start taking immunity support products BEFORE you begin your trip.
Immunity support products come in a variety of forms. They are designed to prepare your body for physical stress by loading you up on the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants（抗氧化） that support great immune system functioning .
If your body is weak at the beginning of the trip, any germ or bacteria is going to have easy access to your system. Get those defenses in place a few days before travel and give your body the best chance to stay healthy.
Antibacterial wipes are your best friend.
Take a minute to think about that airplane. How many people are touching literally every surface with hands that have blocked a sneeze, been coughed into, held the handrail of the moving sidewalk?
Take along plenty of individually wrapped antibacterial wipes and use them everywhere. Wipe down the armrests, the seat belt buckle, the tray table and the remote control for the in-flight entertainment.
Wear slip-on shoes.
Many articles instruct passengers to wear socks on the airplane for comfort. However, if you walk down the aisle in your socks, or even worse, use the restroom, the bottom of those socks are going to pick up all kinds of dirt. So wear shoes when you move around on the plane! Let your shoes provide a barrier to whatever might be lying on the floor.
【1】Why do planes easily make people sick according to the writer?
A．People lack practice to keep fit.
B．There are many bacteria on the plane.
C．People have too much entertainment during the flight.
D．People's immune system fails to work on the plane.
【2】How can we protect ourselves from getting sick on the plane?
A．By wearing socks.
B．By stopping feeling stressful.
C．By blocking coughing with hands.
D．By taking some supportive products.
【3】What's the best title for the passage?
A．Advice on safety
B．A worthwhile trip
C．Stay healthy on a flight
D．Be careful of your flight
