ChatGPT – a conversational language model which was launched in November and is free and simple to use – can swiftly produce poems, math equations or essays on topics, bringing concern that students will misuse the technology. And because it doesn’t copy an existing text, there is no easy way to be certain whether a human or a bot wrote the answer.
As many educators began to worry about whether students may use ChatGPT to generate papers, Edward Tian had an idea. The 22-year-old student, who studies computer science and journalism, decided to build an app to detect whether a text was human-written or AI-written. Over a few days in a Toronto coffee shop during winter break, he got to work. On Jan. 2, he launched GPTZero. It analyzes different properties of a text for its “perplexity”, which is the randomness of the text, and the “burstiness”, which is the variation of the text over time. So, a human-written text would have high perplexity, something very unfamiliar to an AI model, and exhibit properties of burstiness, which are non-common items that appear in random clusters (集群), rather than being uniformly distributed.
Tian said he expected a few dozen people to ever try it. But he woke up the next morning stunned by the response. He has even heard from people all over the world – many of them are teachers or college admissions officers. Many people have subscribed for updates from Tian as he works to improve the technology.
The quick response to Tian’s effort highlighted the breakneck pace at which technology is changing classrooms, teaching, and the ways that people define and understand learning. Tian believed everyone deserved to reap the benefits of AI, but safeguards were needed to make sure new technologies were not abused.
Tian said it would be sad if, years from now, people mostly relied on AI and writing became far more uniform. “There’s something implicitly(含蓄地) beautiful in human prose,” he said, “that computers can never copy.”

Page 9 - New Scientist-March 2023
The number of seabirds killed by colliding(撞击) with wind turbines could be cut by painting black-and-white stripes on the blades(叶片) and poles, say researchers. Graham Martin at the University of Birmingham, UK, and Alex Banks at Natural England, a public organization that has a say in planning applications for offshore wind farms in England, wanted to design a pattern that could be easily painted onto turbines to reduce their impact on bird life.
Between 140,000 and 328,000 birds are killed each year by onshore wind turbines in the US, according to one estimate. It is harder to tell how many birds are killed by offshore turbines each year, says Martin, as they fall into the ocean.
A previous study, published in 2020, looked at the effect of painting a single blade black on four onshore turbines in Norway. Bird collisions were reduced by 70 percent compared with all-white turbines nearby. Martin believes that further improvements could have an even greater impact. Based on analysis of previous studies into bird vision and bird collisions with wind turbines, the two researchers came up with a series of guiding principles to aid their design of a turbine that would harm fewer birds.
“Most birds do not see too much fine detail in their vision – especially compared to humans,” says Martin, so any design shouldn’t be too complex. Many collisions occur in low light, so the design should be easy to decipher in the dark, while high internal contrast would help the turbine stand out against different backgrounds, such as a cloudy or sunny sky. In low levels of light, black-and-white patterns are best, says Martin. “In the dark, a red-and-white pattern would rapidly look like shades of grey,” he says.
The design hasn’t yet been tested, but Martin hopes that manufacturers will consider it, particularly as it would be easy and cheap to implement.

Sending handwritten letters may have fallen out of fashion, but I’m a great believer in the power of letters. There’s something unique and special about handwritten things. You write a letter not because there’s something you need to know, but there’s something you want to say. 36
The letter is a powerful and memorable way to touch the ones you care about. When my granny died and I cleared her house, I found hundreds of letters she had kept. 37 There were letters from her mother, who died long before I was born, but sitting reading them one rainy afternoon, her words stretched out across time and I felt I knew her.
38 Receiving a letter is such a lovely surprise. It can enrich a relationship and allow it to grow. When I was 12, I faked a letter from a parent to the pet shop for a pet mouse. My mum punished me and made me write letters to some relatives. One of them was my uncle who I’d only met a few times before. I wrote a long letter detailing my life and listing my interests. My punishment complete, I forgot about this until I suddenly got a reply from him. “How lovely to hear from you,” he said, and went on to tell me all about his life. He’d love to hear about what subjects at school I enjoyed. 39 I have grown close to him since then.
I often think about how that one naughty childhood behavior led to such an enriching communication that stretched on for many years. It encouraged me to write to lots of other people in fact. 40 So, I’d encourage you to put pen to paper and see where it leads. What have you got to lose
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过两段亲身经历，阐述了手写信对生活的积极影响，人们既可以从信件中了解到你关心的人，又能在信件往来中丰富一段关系，让彼此成长。最后，作者鼓励读者们也拿起笔开启一段书信之旅。

段尾设空
对上一句的补充说明/总结
解题思路：考查代词指代。根据空前一句“You write a letter not because there’s something you need to know, but there’s something you want to say.” 可知，你写信不是因为你想知道什么，而是你有话想说。A选项中的 “that”指代前一句，“这就是写这封信的目的”。故选A项。干扰项G“那就是我们为什么选择手写信而不是邮件”，前文并没有对手写信和邮件进行比较。

段中设空
上下文衔接/代词指代
解题思路：考查上下文衔接。选项B中“they”指空格前一句“I found hundreds of letters she had kept.”中提及的(my granny’s) letters，“the story of her relationships”引出后文提及的her mother’s story，故此空选B。

概括段落主旨
这一事例突出了 C选项的“a lovely surprise”
解题思路：考查段落主旨句。本段讲述了作者童年时期的一次淘气行为竟然让他与多年未见的叔叔维持了多年的通信，这一事例突出了 C选项的“a lovely surprise”。空格后一句“It can enrich a relationship and allow it to grow.”提及的“它可以丰富并发展一段关系”，进一步解释了信件带来的惊喜。故选C项。干扰项D“这也是一种让你更深思熟虑的方式”，本段并未提及手写信影响人们的思考方式。

38 It can enrich a relationship and allow it to grow. When I was 12, I faked a letter from a parent to the pet shop for a pet mouse. My mum punished me and made me write letters to some relatives. One of them was my uncle who I’d only met a few times before. I wrote a long letter detailing my life and listing my interests. My punishment complete, I forgot about this until I suddenly got a reply from him. “How lovely to hear from you,” he said, and went on to tell me all about his life. He’d love to hear about what subjects at school I enjoyed. 39 I have grown close to him since then.
F. Then we started a communication that went on for years.
F
段中设空
与上文顺序关系，下文因果关系
解题思路：考查顺序和因果逻辑关系。上文提及收到叔叔回信，“他很想知道我在学校喜欢什么科目”。选项F承接上句，构成顺序关系，“接着我们就开始了持续数年的通信交流”。并与下文“从那以后，我和他的关系越来越亲密。”构成因果关系。故选F项。
主题语境与语篇分析--人与自我、人与社会
I often think about how that one naughty childhood behavior led to such an enriching communication that stretched on for many years. It encouraged me to write to lots of other people in fact. 40 So, I’d encourage you to put pen to paper and see where it leads. What have you got to lose
E. And it’s something I keep up with to this day.
E
段中设空
与上文构成递进关系
解题思路：考查递进逻辑关系。空格前一句 “It encouraged me to write to lots of other people” 指“它（童年通信的事情）鼓励了我给很多人写信”。选项E承接上句，构成递进关系，进一步指出“并且这（给人写信）是我一直坚持到现在的事情。”，并在空格后一句鼓励读者们也拿起笔开启一段书信之旅。

Last week, our school launched a tree planting activity, calling on students of all grades to actively participate in it. I jumped at the opportunity.
On Tree Planting Day, we gathered at the school gate and took a coach to the destination. The teachers first showed us how to plant trees. Then we are divided into small groups to fulfill our task. We dug a hole, lay a seedling in it and put the soil back before we watered it. Finally, we used some sticks and strings to hold the newly planted tree in place.
Tired as I felt, I considered it a meaningful activity. I learned an important life lesson: harvest and comfort can’t coexist. The same is true for study.

Life Skills from Labour Classes
To encourage students’ independence and develop their ability to cope with life, our school has opened labour classes that focus on labour-related activities since last September, including cooking, repairing household appliances, raising pets, and growing vegetables. The course provides students with opportunities to get hands-on experiences, develop coping skills and boost life skills.
After a period of practice, many parents have stopped helping kids do all the non-study stuff. They now get their children involved in housework and family responsibilities. Young students have also realised the importance of basic life skills and will be better equipped to fit into society.

My Housework Week
Last week our school carried out a Labor Week activity, aiming to raise the students' awareness of the significance of labor and arouse our passion for labor.
The activity lasted for one week. Firstly, our school organized us students to work in the nearby farm. The task involved planting trees, weeding, and watering vegetable. What's more we were asked to participate in some voluntary work after class, such as helping the elder do the cleaning. Besides, we shared housework with our parents, relieving their burden.
Through this activity, we have not only realized the value of labor but also learned to respect all laborers. Meanwhile, our physical health has been strengthened.

It was a late Saturday afternoon in early March, and I was sweating gracelessly, in search of the only gift my son said he wanted from Los Angeles: a map to the homes of the stars.
I was here for meetings in Westwood, near the UCLA Medical Centre. Should I wander a little Try to find one of the treasured maps
From the front of the hotel taxi line, a cheerful driver said, “No problem. Map vendors(小贩) are everywhere!” Before long, we saw a hand-painted sandwich board saying: Star Maps. The taxi stopped. A fellow approached with a thin folded sheet and said: “Ten dollars.”
Ten dollars. American! With righteous assurance, I informed him, “That’s too much.” The map man shrugged. We continued, whizzing past the Beverly Hills Hotel into West Hollywood. The driver dropped me at the House of Blues, encouraging me to stroll. I began walking, certain I would find a low-cost star map soon.
I was wrong. There was hardly anybody on the street. There didn’t seem to be many real stores, just cars and bars. No maps. No stars. Blocks passed. The sun began to sink. At the edge of West Hollywood, another fellow appeared ahead, selling star maps to a car full of teenager girls.
Ten dollars still. Still too much. Forgot it. My son would understand. Time to go back to Westwood. That night, I called my wife. “Did you get one of those maps to the stars He’s been talking about nothing else.” This news was hard to ignore. But it was late.
Morning was coming. There would be last try. After I checked out, the first taxi in the hotel line was an old Chevy driven by a skinny guy from North Carolina. At nine in the morning, map vendors were nowhere to be found.
“You know,” said the driver, “The guys with the maps just ain’t up yet!” He was right.
“Forget it. Let’s go to the airport.”
“Well,” said the driver, “I could mail you one if you like.”
Sure. Trust this guy I might as well toss cash onto the freeway. But exiting the taxi, I recognized my last chance. I handed the driver $13 and my business card.

Three weeks passed, no reply from LA. My son sighed with disappointment when carefully checking the mail box. Seeing his drooping head and gloomy eyes, I couldn’t help blaming myself for putting my easy trust on a total stranger and expecting him to realize my son’s wish. After all, in recent days no one would like to take the trouble to do this for an encounter with nothing in return. We had given up on the star map when a big white envelope marked “U.S.” unexpectedly reached us one afternoon. Inside the envelope was a small green package and a small note saying, “Forgive delay. Here’s a map for your son. Kind regards, LA!”
I held the package and the note in my hand, speechless. The whole thing was totally to my surprise. I had previously thought that an act of kindness from a stranger would not really existed. However, what I was experiencing right now proved that I was wrong. I was deeply ashamed of myself because I shouldn’t have assumed the driver’s intention to help someone in need. When my son saw the star map in my hand, his eyes sparkled with great excitement. Seemingly incapable of containing his joy, he hugged me tightly and exclaimed, “I can’t believe, dad, you did it!” I gently touched his head, explaining, “If you never trust anybody, you’ll never find the good man.”

ChatGPT – a conversational language model which was launched in November and is free and simple to use – can swiftly produce poems, math equations or essays on topics, bringing concern that students will misuse the technology. And because it doesn’t copy an existing text, there is no easy way to be certain whether a human or a bot wrote the answer.
As many educators began to worry about whether students may use ChatGPT to generate papers, Edward Tian had an idea. The 22-year-old student, who studies computer science and journalism, decided to build an app to detect whether a text was human-written or AI-written. Over a few days in a Toronto coffee shop during winter break, he got to work. On Jan. 2, he launched GPTZero. It analyzes different properties of a text for its “perplexity”, which is the randomness of the text, and the “burstiness”, which is the variation of the text over time. So, a human-written text would have high perplexity, something very unfamiliar to an AI model, and exhibit properties of burstiness, which are non-common items that appear in random clusters (集群), rather than being uniformly distributed.
Tian said he expected a few dozen people to ever try it. But he woke up the next morning stunned by the response. He has even heard from people all over the world – many of them are teachers or college admissions officers. Many people have subscribed for updates from Tian as he works to improve the technology.
The quick response to Tian’s effort highlighted the breakneck pace at which technology is changing classrooms, teaching, and the ways that people define and understand learning. Tian believed everyone deserved to reap the benefits of AI, but safeguards were needed to make sure new technologies were not abused.
Tian said it would be sad if, years from now, people mostly relied on AI and writing became far more uniform. “There’s something implicitly(含蓄地) beautiful in human prose,” he said, “that computers can never copy.”

The number of seabirds killed by colliding(撞击) with wind turbines could be cut by painting black-and-white stripes on the blades(叶片) and poles, say researchers. Graham Martin at the University of Birmingham, UK, and Alex Banks at Natural England, a public organization that has a say in planning applications for offshore wind farms in England, wanted to design a pattern that could be easily painted onto turbines to reduce their impact on bird life.
Between 140,000 and 328,000 birds are killed each year by onshore wind turbines in the US, according to one estimate. It is harder to tell how many birds are killed by offshore turbines each year, says Martin, as they fall into the ocean.
A previous study, published in 2020, looked at the effect of painting a single blade black on four onshore turbines in Norway. Bird collisions were reduced by 70 percent compared with all-white turbines nearby. Martin believes that further improvements could have an even greater impact. Based on analysis of previous studies into bird vision and bird collisions with wind turbines, the two researchers came up with a series of guiding principles to aid their design of a turbine that would harm fewer birds.
“Most birds do not see too much fine detail in their vision – especially compared to humans,” says Martin, so any design shouldn’t be too complex. Many collisions occur in low light, so the design should be easy to decipher in the dark, while high internal contrast would help the turbine stand out against different backgrounds, such as a cloudy or sunny sky. In low levels of light, black-and-white patterns are best, says Martin. “In the dark, a red-and-white pattern would rapidly look like shades of grey,” he says.
The design hasn’t yet been tested, but Martin hopes that manufacturers will consider it, particularly as it would be easy and cheap to implement.

Sending handwritten letters may have fallen out of fashion, but I’m a great believer in the power of letters. There’s something unique and special about handwritten things. You write a letter not because there’s something you need to know, but there’s something you want to say. 36
The letter is a powerful and memorable way to touch the ones you care about. When my granny died and I cleared her house, I found hundreds of letters she had kept. 37 There were letters from her mother, who died long before I was born, but sitting reading them one rainy afternoon, her words stretched out across time and I felt I knew her.
38 Receiving a letter is such a lovely surprise. It can enrich a relationship and allow it to grow. When I was 12, I faked a letter from a parent to the pet shop for a pet mouse. My mum punished me and made me write letters to some relatives. One of them was my uncle who I’d only met a few times before. I wrote a long letter detailing my life and listing my interests. My punishment complete, I forgot about this until I suddenly got a reply from him. “How lovely to hear from you,” he said, and went on to tell me all about his life. He’d love to hear about what subjects at school I enjoyed. 39 I have grown close to him since then.
I often think about how that one naughty childhood behavior led to such an enriching communication that stretched on for many years. It encouraged me to write to lots of other people in fact. 40 So, I’d encourage you to put pen to paper and see where it leads. What have you got to lose

Last week, our school launched a tree planting activity, calling on students of all grades to actively participate in it. I jumped at the opportunity.
On Tree Planting Day, we gathered at the school gate and took a coach to the destination. The teachers first showed us how to plant trees. Then we are divided into small groups to fulfill our task. We dug a hole, lay a seedling in it and put the soil back before we watered it. Finally, we used some sticks and strings to hold the newly planted tree in place.
Tired as I felt, I considered it a meaningful activity. I learned an important life lesson: harvest and comfort can’t coexist. The same is true for study.

Life Skills from Labour Classes
To encourage students’ independence and develop their ability to cope with life, our school has opened labour classes that focus on labour-related activities since last September, including cooking, repairing household appliances, raising pets, and growing vegetables. The course provides students with opportunities to get hands-on experiences, develop coping skills and boost life skills.
After a period of practice, many parents have stopped helping kids do all the non-study stuff. They now get their children involved in housework and family responsibilities. Young students have also realised the importance of basic life skills and will be better equipped to fit into society.

My Housework Week
Last week our school carried out a Labor Week activity, aiming to raise the students' awareness of the significance of labor and arouse our passion for labor.
The activity lasted for one week. Firstly, our school organized us students to work in the nearby farm. The task involved planting trees, weeding, and watering vegetable. What's more we were asked to participate in some voluntary work after class, such as helping the elder do the cleaning. Besides, we shared housework with our parents, relieving their burden.
Through this activity, we have not only realized the value of labor but also learned to respect all laborers. Meanwhile, our physical health has been strengthened.

It was a late Saturday afternoon in early March, and I was sweating gracelessly, in search of the only gift my son said he wanted from Los Angeles: a map to the homes of the stars.
I was here for meetings in Westwood, near the UCLA Medical Centre. Should I wander a little Try to find one of the treasured maps
From the front of the hotel taxi line, a cheerful driver said, “No problem. Map vendors(小贩) are everywhere!” Before long, we saw a hand-painted sandwich board saying: Star Maps. The taxi stopped. A fellow approached with a thin folded sheet and said: “Ten dollars.”
Ten dollars. American! With righteous assurance, I informed him, “That’s too much.” The map man shrugged. We continued, whizzing past the Beverly Hills Hotel into West Hollywood. The driver dropped me at the House of Blues, encouraging me to stroll. I began walking, certain I would find a low-cost star map soon.
I was wrong. There was hardly anybody on the street. There didn’t seem to be many real stores, just cars and bars. No maps. No stars. Blocks passed. The sun began to sink. At the edge of West Hollywood, another fellow appeared ahead, selling star maps to a car full of teenager girls.
Ten dollars still. Still too much. Forgot it. My son would understand. Time to go back to Westwood. That night, I called my wife. “Did you get one of those maps to the stars He’s been talking about nothing else.” This news was hard to ignore. But it was late.
Morning was coming. There would be last try. After I checked out, the first taxi in the hotel line was an old Chevy driven by a skinny guy from North Carolina. At nine in the morning, map vendors were nowhere to be found.
“You know,” said the driver, “The guys with the maps just ain’t up yet!” He was right.
“Forget it. Let’s go to the airport.”
“Well,” said the driver, “I could mail you one if you like.”
Sure. Trust this guy I might as well toss cash onto the freeway. But exiting the taxi, I recognized my last chance. I handed the driver $13 and my business card.

Three weeks passed, no reply from LA. My son sighed with disappointment when carefully checking the mail box. Seeing his drooping head and gloomy eyes, I couldn’t help blaming myself for putting my easy trust on a total stranger and expecting him to realize my son’s wish. After all, in recent days no one would like to take the trouble to do this for an encounter with nothing in return. We had given up on the star map when a big white envelope marked “U.S.” unexpectedly reached us one afternoon. Inside the envelope was a small green package and a small note saying, “Forgive delay. Here’s a map for your son. Kind regards, LA!”
I held the package and the note in my hand, speechless. The whole thing was totally to my surprise. I had previously thought that an act of kindness from a stranger would not really existed. However, what I was experiencing right now proved that I was wrong. I was deeply ashamed of myself because I shouldn’t have assumed the driver’s intention to help someone in need. When my son saw the star map in my hand, his eyes sparkled with great excitement. Seemingly incapable of containing his joy, he hugged me tightly and exclaimed, “I can’t believe, dad, you did it!” I gently touched his head, explaining, “If you never trust anybody, you’ll never find the good man.”
