3 . Given the excitement it has created, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard about ChatGPT. It’s a powerful, new artificial intelligence tool, which can do a lot of things such as answering a question, explaining a concept, composing an email or writing a college essay, all in a matter of seconds.

“The essay, in particular the college essay, is dead,” said Edward Tian, a student at Princeton University. “For generations, we have been taught how to research, think, and write. That entire tradition is about to be completely changed.”

Despite having studied AI, Edward, like the rest of us, was so shocked by the power of ChatGPT that he couldn’t shake thoughts about the challenges presented by the AI tool. Then he had an idea. What if he applied what he had learned over the last couple of years to help the public identify whether something has been written by a machine?

On January 2, Edward released his app, GPTZero.

It basically uses ChatGPT against itself. To determine whether an essay is written by ChatGPT, GPTZero uses two indicators: the familiarity of text and the variations of sentences. If the text is very familiar to GPTZero — because ChatGPT has also been trained on such data — then it’s more likely to be AI-generated.

Separately, GPTZero compares the variations of sentences. Humans tend to write with greater varieties, for example, with some longer or complex sentences alongside shorter ones. AI sentences are usually less varified.

Edward isn’t trying to stop ChatGPT in its tracks. He believes that’s impossible, and opposes blanket bans (禁止) against the use of ChatGPT, like the one recently announced by New York City public schools. Students, he believes, will use the technology anyway.

“GPTZero is not meant to be a tool to stop these technologies from being used,” he said. “But with any new technology, we need to be able to use it responsibly and we need to have safeguards.”

1. What does Edward Tian think of ChatGPT?

A．It is very harmful to the society.	B．It is a powerful and perfect AI tool.
C．It might cause problems for educators.	D．It can share the burden with students.

2. What is a feature of the Al-produced essay, according to the text?

A．It has longer sentences.	B．It contains more familiar words.
C．There are more difficult words.	D．There are fewer changes of sentences.

3. What does Edward Tian suggest we do about new technologies?

A．Wait and see at first.	B．Use them responsibly.
C．Put them under strict control.	D．Accept them as early as possible.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．GPTZero, a Safeguard Against ChatGPT

B．GPTZero, a Necessary Helper for Students

C．ChatGPT, a Huge Threat to College Students

D．ChatGPT, a Promising AI Tool in the Future

4 . Life can be busy or stressful at times. Usually, we forget how important it is to listen ourselves.     1    .

Sparing room for good things in your life

Life gets much simpler and more enjoyable when you clear your physical and emotional bad things. And there’s so much you can let go of in life without losing a thing. It’s called growth.     2    . You cannot discover new oceans unless you build up enough courage to lose sight of the old.

Putting your purpose and passion (热情) into the things you do

    3    . So learn to believe in your heart that you’re meant to live each day full of purpose and passion—that every moment is worthy in its own way. Too often we wait because we think we need to “find” something new or different to be fond of. But that’s not true. If you want more passion in your life right now, act accordingly right now. Put your whole heart into the things you do.     4    , but the chance right in front of you. Not into tomorrow’s tasks, but today’s tasks. Not into tomorrow’s run, but today’s run.

    5    

All the small things make a big difference. Every step is important. Life isn’t about a single moment of great success. It’s about the trials and errors (试错) that slowly get you there—the sweat, tears, and all the small things you do on a day-to-day basis. They all matter in the end—every step, every regret and every decision.

A．Choosing to start today

B．Not into tomorrow’s chances

C．Remembering that every step matters

D．Letting go of the old makes way for the new

E．So what you need to remember most right now is to share

F．Purpose is the reason you journey and passion is the fire that lights your way

G．Here below are some things in life that you have to keep on doing to change that

8 . How to Learn Several Languages at a Time

Learning a new language is a challenging and wonderfully rewarding experience. At some point, you may find yourself needing or wanting to learn several languages at the same time.     1     However, it also allows you to challenge your brain and take advantage of the similarities and differences between the languages you’re learning.

    2     If you have a choice, choose to learn one language that is easier for you, and another or others that are more difficult. An easier language will be one that is similar to your native language or another language that you know, while a more difficult language will be one that is less similar.

Make one language your priority.     3     This way, at the end of your hard work, you are more likely to be skilled in at least one of your languages, rather than only knowing a small amount of each of them.

Translate between the languages you’re learning. One way to keep all the languages you are learning active in your mind is to try translating between them, rather than translating them back to your native language.     4    

Add all of the languages to a language-learning app or website. Several language-learning apps and websites, such as Duolingo, Memrise, Clozemaster, Anki and Lingvist allow you to add several languages at once.     5     This way, when you are on-the-go, you have quick access to a way to study any of the languages you are trying to learn.

A．This process can be very difficult.

B．Choose languages that vary in difficulty.

C．Study the same topic in all of the languages.

D．You can use a website to find a group like this.

E．This can help you understand the languages on a deeper level.

F．It is helpful to give one of the languages the most time and attention.

G．Download an app, and then add all of your languages, if they are available on it.

9 . 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。

About a month ago, my husband and I found kindness in an unlikely place: standing in line at a Subway sandwich shop to pick up a quick dinner.

It was extremely busy on this particular night, and I noticed a dad behind us with his little girl, who looked to be around four. The man seemed as tired as my husband, but the little girl was cheerful and excited as she waited for her sandwich and cookie.

I watched as the man behind us got closer to the front of the line. He started to look worried. Right before we checked out, I heard the man say to the woman who had made his sandwiches that he was sorry to just leave his out because he didn’t have enough money to pay for them all. He looked very embarrassed. His little girl continued jumping around excitedly.

I quietly asked the cashier to add the man’s whole order to ours. I paid the $ 87.73, and we got out of there before the man behind us knew what had happened.

Like many others since COVID-19 hit, our family of five was living on one income. I was holding our debit card (借记卡) and knew that we only had $ 90.16 in our account. That was all we would have until payday three days later. But still, it felt great to be able to help that family, even though we would be out of money for a few days.

What happened next was amazing. My husband went back to that Subway the next week to pick up five sandwiches that I thought would cost $ 44.58. There was $ 47 in our account.

But it turned out that the dinner cost more than we had on the card. My husband told them to put his sandwich back because he couldn’t afford it. Then he paid for the four sandwiches and headed to our car.

It is a special cross-country race. The competitors’ vehicles are made     1     fruits and vegetables like carrots, eggplants, grapefruits, pumpkins and oranges. They are the creations of pupils from the Shanghai World Foreign Language Primary School.

According to Chen You, the science class teacher,     2     (base) knowledge had been taught within 6 classes to students before they drew sketches and     3     (choose) vegetables to make a food car.

Although students were encouraged     4     (design) their cars together with parents, all the cars should be made in the class. After     5     (bring) piles of ingredients as well as tools the children began their innovation. Some cut the carrot slices to make them round, and some others assembled (组装) their car components together.

In addition to the     6     (compete), students are required to reflect on the     7     (difficulty) they encountered making their vehicles,     8     things they have learned from the activity and the improvements they think the course can make.

    9     touched the teachers most was the unity and friendship among the children.
