21、ChatGPT became the hottest issue due to its ability to produce human-sounding essays, poetry, and screenplays on virtually any subject in seconds. Soon after ChatGPT was released, the potential for it to be misused to do things such as spread misinformation and write junk mails became apparent. Schools and educators also have warned of the potential for students to use it to write essays or other work they have been assigned. Last December, the software passed all three parts of the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination as part of a research experiment.
So the startup, OpenAI behind the viral chatbot, revealed a tool for detecting text generated by artificial intelligence amid growing concerns the technology will be abused by cheaters, junk mail senders and others. OpenAI said that its so-called AI classifier was designed to help people distinguish between text written by a human versus a range of artificial intelligence programs—not just ChatGPT.
OpenAI said it had schools in mind when developing its latest classifier tool. “We recognize that identifying AI-written text has been an important point of discussion among educators, and equally important is recognizing the limits and impacts of AI-generated text classifiers in the classroom,” it said.
The classifier isn’t good enough on its own, though it can be used to go with methods that educators, employers and others rely on to determine the source of a piece of text. In evaluations, the new tool correctly identified 26% of AI-written text as “likely AI-written”, while it also had false positives 9% of the time in which it incorrectly labeled human-written text as AI-written. Another problem is that the tool can’t easily tell if a list of facts—U.S. state capitals for example—was written by a person or AI, because the correct answer would be the same. AI-written text can also be edited to escape the classifier.
“While it is impossible to reliably detect all AI-written text, classifiers like ours can be updated and re-trained based on successful attacks,” OpenAI said. “But it is unclear whether detection has an advantage in the long-term.”

【4】What does OpenAI think of AI classifier?
A.It will be reliable after continuous self-update and retraining.
B.Whether it can help educators in the long-term is out of question.
C.Whether it can solve the problems as intended remains a question.
D.It will succeed in detecting all human-written texts in the near future.

23、Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world. In rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with case into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
【1】What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?
A. The exercise of rights is a luxury.
B. The practice of choice is difficult.
C. The right of choice is given but at a price.
D. Choice and right exist at the same time.
【2】Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?
A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.
【3】By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that .
A. advanced products meet the needs of people
B. products of the latest design fold the market
C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
D. everyday goods need to be replaced often
【4】What is this passage mainly about?
A. The variety of choices in modern society.
B. The opinions on people’s right in different countries.
C. The problems about the availability of everyday goods.
D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.
24、As the world approaches the second anniversary of the declaration of the Covid-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization(WHO), on March 11, more nations are rolling out, or are discussing the possibility of, fourth doses of coronavirus vaccine for their most vulnerable. In the United States, leading public health officials say they are “very carefully” monitoring if or when fourth doses might be needed.
Israel was the first nation to roll out fourth doses, announcing in December that adults 60 and older, medical workers and people with suppressed(抑制的) immune systems were qualified to receive the extra shot if at least four months have passed since their third dose. More recently, the Public Health Agency of Sweden announced last week that second booster doses are recommended for everyone 80 and older in the country. The United Kingdom’s Department of Health and Social Care announced Monday that an extra booster dose(加强剂量) of coronavirus vaccine will be offered in the spring to adults 75 and older, residents in care homes for older adults and immunosuppressed(免疫功能不全) people 12 and older.
In the US, health officials emphasized late last year that fourth doses were not yet needed and said it was too early to be discussing a potential fourth dose of coronavirus vaccine for most people. Now, the US Food and Drug Administration “is indeed continually looking at the emerging data on the pandemic and variants(变种) in the United States and overseas in order to evaluate the potential utility and composition of booster doses,” FDA spokesperson Alison Hunt wrote in an email to CNN on Friday.
She confirmed that although Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation, has noted that there is still much uncertainty as to how the pandemic may further evolve, he also has said it is possible that a fourth dose might be recommended as we move into fall. A fall timeline exist at the same time of the administration of flu shots, which could be convenient for people and makes sense scientifically because respiratory(呼吸的) viruses – like the coronavirus – tend to peak in the winter months that follow.
【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?
A.The WHO believes the Covid-19 will affect people for another two years.
B.The WHO has asked countries to evaluate the possibility of a fourth vaccine.
C.Many countries are making a fourth dose of Covid-19 vaccine available.
D.The US are cautiously developing the fourth dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
【2】Which of the following statements is correct?
A.Israel was unwilling to roll out the fourth dose.
B.The elderly people must be given a fourth dose.
C.People aged 12 and over in the UK with immunosuppressed will be given a booster dose.
D.Sweden recommended a second dose for every Swiss aged 80 and over.
【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.Health officials in the United States do not believe a fourth dose is needed currently.
B.FDA is assessing possible effects of booster doses through analyzing related data.
C.Alison believed it impossible that a fourth dose might be suggested in autumn.
D.People are most likely to contract respiratory diseases before winter.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A news website.
B.A science textbook.
C.A medical thesis.
D.A doctor’s biography.

When I tell myself I’m beautiful, or take a(n) ______ few minutes for skin care, I wake up the next morning feeling ______.

And so many of them ask for advice about how to ______ bullying. Playing a ______ girl has helped me see the reasons I was bullied. I tell them, whoever is treating you that way is ______ something, and it has nothing to do with you. Like for Cheryl, every time her ______ erupts, it has to do with how she’s feeling about herself rather than the other characters. Cheryl behaves in a way that ______ her wealth and upbringing, a privileged daughter of a businessman.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It all began when my younger brother, Chris, and I went over to Aunt Barbara and Uncle Howard’s for Thanksgiving. My aunt and uncle live on a farm and Chris and I love going there. One day, Uncle Howard handed me two turkey eggs.
“You kids put those under a setting hen,” he said, “and in twenty-five days, you’ll have a couple of fine turkeys!”
Chris was so excited that he nearly dropped his egg on the way to the house. We both stuffed ourselves at dinner and then couldn’t wait to go home and tend to our eggs.
Twenty-five days seemed like forever. Finally, on the twenty-sixth day, Chris and I walked into the coop after school and spotted two balls of fluff, falling over their feet and looking sort of confused. It wasn’t long before the chicks lost their fuzz and began growing feathers. Chris name done Bill, and I named the other Timothy.
I don’t know what happened, but one day we found Bill dead beside the coop. Chris felt terrible. I told him that from now on, Timothy belonged to him, too.
Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy, because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to what that really meant.
Then, one day toward the end of October, Dad penned Timothy up and gave Chris and me instructions.
“I want you to start giving him corn along with his regular feed,” he said. “We want a nice, fat bird for Thanksgiving.” After Dad turned and walked away, Chris began to cry.
“Don’t worry, Chris,” I said comfortingly. “Well save Timothy, somehow.”
“Why don’t we give him away?” Chris suggested.
“No,” I said. “If we do, he’ll just end upon someone else’s Thanksgiving table.”
“What if we take him out in the woods?”
“He always comes back at night,” I said. We both sighed.
