21、There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming (编程) help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server (服务器), it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?
A．Its language model.
B．Its working theory.
C．Its design inspiration.
D．Its development process.
【2】Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3?
A．To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
B．To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
C．To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
D．To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.
【3】What is ChatGPT Plus intended for?
A．Guiding users to experience free services.
B．Allowing net surfers to skip advertisements.
C．Helping researchers detect the failure of the system.
D．Offering consumers priority access during peak hours.
【4】What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google?
A．It operates based on limited data.
B．It takes more time to search for solutions.
C．It can only update information at a fixed time.
D．It may provide replies unrelated to the questions.

Dear Applicant, A
We regret to inform you that your application to the stated establishment cannot be processed at this time due to the fact that it does not exist.
After consultation with out mythical advisors we have also determined that even if it didn’t exist, the course “wandology” would be highly in demand and hence require at least two As and a B in any of the following subjects:
Advanced Spellcrafting
Mystimatics
Defence Against The Dark Arts
History of the Occult
Shaft Design
Your hand written grade sheet claiming top marks in “waving a stick about”, “ waving a pointy hat” and “watching Paul Daniels TV specials” sadly is not suitable for submission, however by applying through clearing you may be suitable of Liberal Arts courses. Alternatively you may wish to resubmit next year by tying your letter to an owl and hoping for the best.
On behalf of UCAS I wish you every success.
Yours sincerely,
XXX
Dear Duke University Admissions, B

With a pool of letters so diverse and accomplished I was unable to accept the rejection letters I would have been able to only several years ago. Therefore, I will be attending Duke University's 2015 Class. I look forward to seeing you then.
Best,
Siobhan O'Dell
Dear Siobhan, C
I understand how disappointed you are that we were unable to offer you a space in our incoming class, I want to be honest with you and let you know that it’s very rare that we learn something that leads us to change our decision, in the last ten years we’ve about 500 requests for a review… and changed the decision four times
Wish you all the best~

Nearly three years ago, while ______ Mom’s flower bed, I finally asked if I could dig out her rhubarb.______, she didn’t bake with it anymore. “Absolutely not,” Mom said. Clearly I hadn’t ______ her devotion to it.
As I continued weeding, I thought about how rhubarb is one of the ______ plants to appear in early spring. It breaks through the snowy, icy ground before buds (芽) form on trees. How can anyone fail to ______ such a passionate desire?
When those first sprouts (嫩芽)______, I’d find Mom outdoors, examining them like a ______ counting a newborn’s fingers and toes. She would estimate about how long it’d be until she could make her rhubarb ______.
