1 . The poster child for generative Ai software is a shocking human mimic. It represents a potential new era in research, but brings risks.

It co-wrote scientific papers-sometimes secretly. It drafted outlines for presentations, proposals and classes, churned out computer code, and served as a sounding board for research ideas. It also invented references, made up facts and repeated hate speech. Most of all, it caught people’s imaginations. ChatGPT took on whatever role its interlocutors desired—and some they didn’t.

ChatGPT’s only objective is to plausibly continue dialogues in the style of its training data. But in doing so, it and other generative artificial-intelligence(AI) programme are changing how scientists work. They have also reopened debates about the limits of AI, the nature of human intelligence and how best to adjust the interaction between the two.

For some researchers ChatGPT has become an invaluable lab assistant—helping to summarize or write manuscripts, polish applications and write codes. ChatGPT and related software can help to brainstorm ideas, enhance scientific search engines and identify research gaps in the literature, says Marinka Zitnik, who works on AI for medical research at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.

But the technology is also dangerous. Automated conversational agents can aid cheats and plagiarists; left unchecked, they could damage the well of scientific knowledge. Undisclosed AI-made content has begun to spread through the Internet and some scientists have admitted using ChatGPT to generate articles without declaring it.

No one knows how much more there is to get from ChatGPT-like systems. Their capabilities might yet be limited by the availability of computing power or new training data. But the generative AI revolution has started. And there’s no turning back.

2 . Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT has got viral, winning 100 million internet users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails, create instructions for cooking a certain food, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. In its own words, it is “a language model trained in a large amount of internet text to help users get human-like text. ”

Compared with Siri or other chatbots, ChatGPT uses a much bigger information center for training. It also uses stronger software and hardware to learn things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will correct itself. “It’s a totally different chatbot,” computer scientist Liu Xiaoguang from Nankai University said. “The knowledge level ChatGPT shows is the same as a university student. That’s why it shocked the world.”

But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives false information. When Rezza, a 28-year-old from Indonesia, used the robot to write an passage, it “gave out many examples which other writers actually hadn’t mentioned at all”, he told a local newspaper. Since the robot is trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up biases(偏见) about certain groups. These are all things that need to be dealt with.

4 . There is a day in the life with AI, who follows your move: the way you travel, the food you eat, how you spend your money, the news you read and your social interactions...

7a.m   You wake up and glance at your iPhone, which unlocks itself using facial recognition

Apple’s Face ID changes your face to a set of numbers that act as your own unique identifier. This biometric portrait is not set in stone-it uses AI to track changes in your appearance, updating its model if you grow a beard, change your makeup style or get older and it also detects whether your eyes are open and your attention is directed at your phone.

8:30a.m   You drive to work in your electric car

Cars such as the Tesla can do most of the ordinary aspects of driving. The vehicle’s AI system collects data from eight cameras, identifies obstacles, lanes, intersections and traffic lights and decides what action to take, whether moving skillfully into an awkward parking spot or overtaking a slow lorry. But self-driving cars know only how to deal with situations they have seen before and an ongoing challenge is how to equip them for rare and unexpected events.

4:30p.m   Your phone rings with a message from your Amazon Ring doorbell-a package has been delivered to your doorstep

Last year, about one in five households in the UK reported having an AI-based home security system. Amazon Ring uses a motion-activated camera, heat sensor and radar and uses computer vision software to make users different when a person, or a package, is outside their property. Humans have a heavy heat signature and with the radar, the object moving in 3D spaces can be detected.

9:30p.m   You scroll (滚动) through a newspaper article that contains a special ad

As you read news articles, scroll through social media, make Google searches and buy things online, you leave a trail of clues about who you are, what you might want to spend your money on-that is incredibly valuable for digital advertisers. AI sift (筛) this data for insights into your age, gender, lifestyle, income and your hobbies. This allows companies such as Google to serve up specific, targeted adverts that pop up as you scroll through a news article.

5 . In our daily life, robots are often found to do work that is too dangerous, boring, difficult, or dirty. And we often see kids play with toy robots.

But what exactly is a robot? There are some important characteristics (特征) that a robot must have. These characteristics might help you to decide what is and what is not a robot. They will also help you to decide what you will need to build into a machine before it can be considered as a robot. A robot has these important characteristics:

Sensing. First of all, your robot would have to be able to sense the environment around it. It should have the following sensors (传感器): light sensors (eyes), touch sensors (hands), chemical sensors (nose), hearing sensors (ears) and taste sensors (tongue).

Movement. A robot needs to be able to move around its environment. It can move on wheels, walk on legs or be driven by small engines. A robot can move either the whole body or just parts of it.

Energy. A robot needs to be able to power itself. Some robots might power itself with sunlight, some might with electricity, while others with the battery (电池). The way your robot gets its energy will depend on what your robot needs to do.

Intelligence.   A robot needs some kind of “smarts”. A programmar is the person who gives the robot its “smarts”. The robot will have to have a certain way to receive the program so that it knows what to do.

6 . China’s Cargo Spacecraft Sets New World Record

The Tianzhou 5 cargo spacecraft launched on November 12th docked with the Tiangong space station around noon, setting a world record for the fastest rendezvous and docking operations between the two spacecraft, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

The Tianzhou 5 was placed into a low-Earth orbit by a Long March 7 rocket that blasted off at 10:03 a.m. at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan Province.

After cargo craft entered the orbit, it traveled two hours and seven minutes to rendezvous (交会对接) with the Tiangong space station and then docked with the massive station at 12:10 p.m., the agency said in a news release.

The maneuvers have become the fastest rendezvous and docking processes for spacecraft, replacing the old record set by the Russian spacecraft Soyuz MS-17 on October 14th, 2020, when it used three hours and three minutes since its liftoff to rendezvous and connect with the International Space Station.

The manned space agency said the fast rendezvous and docking are key to establishing the capability to transport supplies to the space station in an emergency.

The cargo ship is carrying about 5.3 metric tons of materials, including living and mission necessities, scientific equipment as well as a mini experimental satellite. The craft also carries nearly 1.4 tons of propellants for the Tiangong station, the designers said.

8 . NASA is making preparations to send a crew to the moon who will explore the lunar surface with the hope of constructing a stable habitat. Although the American space agency focuses on just sending astronauts, other companies are looking further into the future for when humans will colonize the natural satellite.

Experts at Money, a company for consumer credit products, released the first-ever moon loan guide that reveals living on the lunar surface would cost $325,067 a month.

“With the Earth becoming increasingly populated and space technology advancing, it won’t be long before lunar living becomes the new normal,” reads the study. The team from Money used various factors to calculate the cost of a house on the moon: raw materials needed to build a house, the special materials needed to build on the moon’s atmosphere, astronauts required to travel to build, and the average cost of transporting materials to the moon.

According to the moon loan guide, the first fully functioning house on the moon would be $48, 454, 063, which is a high price for a home. The price includes adding life-saving details to homes such as air seals, industrial-strength air-conditioners and heaters. “Generating energy is vital when living in such extreme conditions, and therefore the cost of some supplies may force you to consider some alternative options. The most efficient way to generate electricity on the moon is to buy a small nuclear reactor costing S1. 3 million, “Money shares in the study. “Alternatively, 34 solar panels would generate enough electricity to run one house and cost only $23, 616 in comparison.”

The guide also reveals the most ideal locations on the moon, with “Sea of Rains” being considered” the perfect family suburb” — this region sits at the north and is one of the largest impact craters in the Solar System.

1. What’s the purpose of NASA sending a crew to the moon?

A．To encourage companies to release moon loan.	B．To colonize the moon alone.
C．To explore the moon for natural resources.	D．To build a lasting living place on the moon.

2. Which of the following was not considered when the team estimated the cost of a lunar house?

A．Materials needed to build a house on the moon.

B．The cost of looking for the most ideal location on the moon.

C．Astronauts needed to travel to build a house on the moon.

D．The average cost of transporting materials to the moon.

3. What can we infer from the study?

A．Lunar living won’t take long to become a reality.

B．The first house on the moon will be the most expensive home.

C．You will definitely buy a nuclear reactor to generate electricity on the moon.

D．The perfect location on the moon for living is the largest impact crater in the Solar System.

4. What’s the text mainly about?

A．The first loan guide about living on the moon.

B．The moon-the most ideal living place for humans.

C．NASA will send astronauts to the moon.

D．Living on the moon has become possible.

9 . The 2022 Olympic Winter Games have come to an end but the legacy of this showcase event that took place over two glorious weeks will last a lifetime.

10 . NASA’s Perseverance rover has been on Mars since mid-February. Perseverance brought along a small helicopter called Ingenuity. On April 19, Ingenuity became the first helicopter to fly on another planet.

That was a big deal because the flying conditions on Mars are completely different from those on Earth. For one thing, the atmosphere on Mars is about 100 times thinner than that on Earth. But Ingenuity flew very well. In first test it simply lifted off and landed. But soon it was doing more difficult activities.

Ingenuity was planned as a technology lest, just to see if a helicopter could fly on Mars. But it has done so well that NASA has now decided to use it to help Perseverance. The helicopter will fly along and help check areas for the rover. It’s not clear how long little helicopter will fly. It was only made to run for 30 days, and it could be landing in some dangerous areas where it’s more likely to have an accident.

On April 20, NASA had another Mars first: a machine called MOXIE produced O₂ from in — Martian atmosphere. CO₂ gas makes up 96% of the atmosphere on Mars, making it bad for humans to breathe, in order for

humans to spend time on Mars, they’ll need to be able to make O₂ to breathe. Large amounts of O₂ could be used as power for spacecraft.

MOXIE is a small machine made to test the technology for making O₂ from the Martian atmosphere. In its first test, MOX1E produced enough O₂ to allow a person to breathe for about 10 minutes.

1. What makes it difficult for the helicopter to fly on Mars?

A．The strong wind on Mara.	B．The thin atmosphere on Mars.
C．The small size of the helicopter.	D．The poor condition of the helicopter.

2. What was the helicopter intended for?

A．Taking pictures.	B．Carrying supplies,
C．Testing technology.	D．Gathering information.

3. What can we learn about MOXIE that___ .

A．It worked in the Martian environment.	B．It worked better on Mars than on Earth.
C．It was made to run on Mars for 30 days.	D．It produced enough O2 for one to live on Mars.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．A Helicopter to Mars	B．Two Tests on Mars
C．Perseverance Rover	D．MOXIE: An O2-Maker
