Four months ago, OpenAI, a small San Francisco company, became the talk of the technology industry when it introduced a new online chatbot that could answer complex questions, write poetry and copy human emotions. Now the company is back with a new version (型号) of the technology, called GPT-4.
GPT-4, which learns its skills by analyzing large data from the Internet, improves on what powered the original ChatGPT in several ways. It can immediately know someone’s tax duties and provide detailed descriptions of images. However, though the new technology can do better on tests and offer precise medical advice to doctors, it can mess up basic arithmetic (算术).
On Tuesday, OpenAI started selling access to GPT-4 so that businesses and other software developers could build their own applications on top of it. A few companies are already working with GPT-4. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is building a system that’ll immediately retrieve (检索) information from company documents, and serve it up to financial advisers in the form of conversations.
OpenAI got the new technology enhanced. As people tested ChatGPT, they rated the chatbot’s responses, separating those that were useful and truthful from those that weren’t. Then, using an advanced skill, the system spent months analyzing those ratings and gaining a better understanding of what it should and shouldn’t do.
Given a long article and asked to summarize it, GPT-4 will give a precise summary nearly every time. Moreover, given a photograph, chart or diagram, the technology can provide a detailed, paragraphs-long description of the image and answer questions about its contents.
OpenAI leaders said the company wasn’t immediately releasing the image description part of the technology because they were unsure how it could be applied for improper purposes. However, “We can take all these general-purpose knowledge skills and spread them across all sorts of different areas,” said Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president. “This takes the technology into a whole new field.”
8. What does GPT-4 need to make improvements in according to the text
A. Its describing skill. B. Its arithmetic ability.
C. Its copying capability. D. Its summary function.
9. Why is Morgan Stanley Wealth Management mentioned in paragraph 3
A To give an example. B. To present a belief.
C. To explain an idea. D. To make a conclusion.
10. What does the underlined word “enhanced” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Replaced. B. Appreciated. C. Improved. D. Developed.
11. What was OpenAI’s worry about GPT-4
A. It may not understand what to do. B. Its technology could go into a new field.
C. It may not sell well as expected. D. Its image description could be misused.
【答案】8 B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了旧金山的一家小公司OpenAI推出了一款新的在线聊天机器人，可以回答复杂的问题、写诗和复制人类的情感，成为科技行业的热门话题。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“However, though the new technology can do better on tests and offer precise medical advice to doctors, it can mess up basic arithmetic.(然而，尽管新技术可以在测试中做得更好，并为医生提供精确的医疗建议，但它可能会在基本的算术方面出错。)”可知，GPT-4可能会在基本算术方面出错。由此可推知，需要改进它的算术能力。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据语境分析可知，Morgan Stanley所在句“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is building a system that’ll immediately retrieve information from company documents, and serve it up to financial advisers in the form of conversations.(摩根士丹利财富管理公司（Morgan Stanley Wealth Management）正在开发一个系统，可以立即从公司文件中检索信息，并以对话的形式提供给财务顾问。)”提出该公司使用GPT-4开发可以检索信息，并以对话形式提供给财务顾问，紧跟事实论点“A few companies are already working with GPT-4.(一些公司已经在使用GPT-4。)”之后，由此可推知，提到Morgan Stanley是举例说明一些公司已经在使用GPT-4。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。分析前后文语境可知，画线单词所在句为该段的中心主旨句，根据后文的阐述“As people tested ChatGPT, they rated the chatbot’s responses, separating those that were useful and truthful from those that weren’t. Then, using an advanced skill, the system spent months analyzing those ratings and gaining a better understanding of what it should and shouldn’t do.(当人们测试ChatGPT时，他们对聊天机器人的反应进行评分，将有用和真实的反应与没有用的反应区分开来。然后，使用先进的技术，该系统花了数月时间分析这些评分，并更好地了解它应该做什么和不应该做什么。)”可知，后文具体讲述了通过先进技术分析“反应评分”，聊天机器人进一步提升了自己的“是非认知”的过程。即，该段强调了其进步。由此可推知，“enhanced”应是“提升，进步”含义。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章末尾段内容“OpenAI leaders said the company wasn’t immediately releasing the image description part of the technology because they were unsure how it could be applied for improper purposes.(OpenAI领导人表示，该公司没有立即发布该技术的图像描述部分，因为他们不确定该技术如何用于不当目的。)”可知，OpenAI担心自己的图像描述技术会被用于不当目的。故选D项。

Since the rise in car ownership in the 1950s, the US has started building roads in cities and across the country to provide enough room for automobiles. Houston, like many cities, is turning back the clock to make room for passers-by, cyclists and parks.
Memorial Park in Houston, Texas was halved by the Memorial Drive Highway in the1950s. It has now been reunited. The highway is still there, but the road goes underneath the 1,500-acre park.
The restoration(修复) of Memorial Park is part of a larger plan that was made after the city suffered from a serious drought. It was thought that 80 percent of the forested canopy (树冠) was dead. One of the ways to fight that was to reintroduce native plants and animals.
The city hired the landscape architectural company, Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, to work with the Houston parks and the Memorial Parks Conservancy. The architects, led by Woltz, were inspired by wildlife crossings in the Northwest US and explored the possibility of using this idea in Memorial Park. Over the years, the park was cut into 20 pieces that were divided by highways, roads and parking lots. The only crossing was a 12-foot bridge.
After 10 years of planning and constructing, the Kinder Land Bridge officially opened in early February, 2023. The bridge consists of 100 acres of greenery, and while designed for people, has reconnected wildlife corridors(廊道). The reconstruction added 45 acres of native Gulf Coast prairie(草原) that’ll increase biodiversity in the park. “This project is not just about creating a passage or a bridge. This project is about ecology, it’s about biodiversity and water management. This project is a bridge into Houston’s future.” said Shellye Arnold, president of the Memorial Park Conservancy.
12. What led to the restoration of the Memorial Park
A. A company’s suggestion. B. A terrible natural disaster.
C. The demand from the public. D. The recovery of native plants.
13. How did wildlife crossings in the Northwest US affect the architects
A. They knew how to restore the Memorial Park.
B. They got the inspiration for rescuing animals.
C. They gained a sense of achievement for working.
D. They developed a new way to protect the landscape.
14. What do we know about the Kinder Land Bridge from the text
A. It is about 12 feet in length. B. Its aim is to save water.
C. It benefits the wild animals. D. Its birth is a short process.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. A Highway Connects a Park in Houston
B. The Importance of Building Land Bridges
C. Efforts to Restore Parks in American Cities
D. Houston Creates a Creative Way to Restore Nature
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了休斯顿正在倒转时间，为行人、骑自行车的人和公园腾出空间，举例了休斯顿的纪念公园被纪念的修复。该公园在修复中最具有创意的生态想法是其一座桥的建设，即，一条野生动物走廊。这座桥由100英亩的绿地组成，虽然是为人类设计的，但它重新连接了野生动物走廊。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“The restoration of Memorial Park is part of a larger plan that was made after the city suffered from a serious drought.(纪念公园的修复是该市遭受严重干旱后制定的更大计划的一部分。)”可知，严重的干旱促使了纪念公园的修复，即，自然灾害促成了公园的修复。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“The architects, led by Woltz, were inspired by wildlife crossings in the Northwest US and explored the possibility of using this idea in Memorial Park.(由Woltz领导的建筑师受到美国西北部野生动物过境廊道的启发，并探索了在纪念公园中使用这一想法的可能性。)”可知，野生动物过境廊道给了建筑师们启发，使他们探索在纪念公园使用野生动物过境廊道的可能性。因此可知，野生动物过境廊道的影响在于使建筑师在如何修复纪念公园方面有了认知。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“The bridge consists of 100 acres of greenery, and while designed for people, has reconnected wildlife corridors.(这座桥由100英亩的绿地组成，虽然是为人类设计的，但它重新连接了野生动物走廊。)”可知，这座桥重新连接了野生动物走廊，因此可推知，它对动物是有益的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读文章可知，文章末尾段内容“This project is not just about creating a passage or a bridge. This project is about ecology, it’s about biodiversity and water management. This project is a bridge into Houston’s future.(这个项目不仅仅是建造一条通道或一座桥梁。这个项目是关于生态的，是关于生物多样性和水资源管理的。这个项目是通往休斯顿未来的桥梁。)”点明了文章的主旨要义，即，文章主要讲述了休斯顿的一项有着新的理念去体现生态，生物多样性和水资源管理的公园修复项目。选项D“Houston Creates a Creative Way to Restore Nature(休斯顿创造了一种创造性的方式来恢复自然)”贴合主旨。故选D项。

But once he went to high school, he made up his mind___37___(develop) a sense of humor to make more friends. His new approach worked and he started to become known for his jokes—like the time he made fun ___38___a classmate’s poor score on a math test.
“It turned out that I had gotten a hundred on the test and he didn’t do so well,” Addison recalled. “And I joked heartlessly about it.”
Then one day, his good friend, Holly, pulled him aside and said, “Ritch, sometimes you really hurt ___39___(people) feeling.”

It couldn’t happen overnight,___43___. “Over the years, I worked on___44___(be) more compassionate(同理心的) toward the people around me since I wanted to have___45___different kind of relationship with them,” he said.
【答案】36. worried
37. to develop
38. of 39. people’s
40. was shocked
41. absolutely
42. how 43. however##though
44. being 45. a
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在文中讲述了Ritch Addison“幽默”成长的故事。
【36题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意：在小学时，他不敢大声说话，而且他很担心。根据“he didn’t speak up”可知句子时态是一般过去时，worry用过去式，故填worried。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：但他一上了高中，就下定决心培养幽默感，结交更多的朋友。make up one’s mind to do sth意为“决心做某事”，为固定搭配，故填to develop。
【38题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：他的新方法奏效了，他开始以他的笑话而闻名，比如有一次他取笑一位同学在数学考试中的糟糕成绩。make fun of意为“取笑”，为固定短语。故填of。
【39题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意：然后有一天，他的好朋友霍利把他拉到一边说，“Ritch有时候你真的伤害了人们的感情”。根据语境可知，people与feeling之间存在所属关系，故此处用所给名词的所有格形式people’s，故填people’s。
【40题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：Addison很震惊。根据上文的时间状语“Then one day”可知，空处的句子使用一般过去时，又因为shock与Ⅰ之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，则用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是Addison，be动词用was。故填was shocked。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：最后，我意识到她是绝对正确的。此处用所给形容词的副词作状语修饰空后的形容词，故填absolutely。
【42题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：他说，“我开始关注其他人对我的幽默的反应”。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个宾语从句。需要的词义为“如何”，则用连接副词how作状语，故填how。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：不过，这不可能在一夜之间发生。上一句的句意为“我开始关注其他人对我的幽默的反应”，下一句的句意为“这些年来，我努力对周围的人更加富有同情心，因为我想和他们建立不同的关系”可知，本句表示转折关系，则填入however或though，故填however或though。
【44题详解】
考查动名词。句意：他说：“这些年来，我努力对周围的人更加富有同情心，因为我想和他们建立不同的关系”。on为介词，则用动名词being作宾语，故填being。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：他说：“这些年来，我努力对周围的人更加富有同情心，因为我想和他们建立不同的关系”。kind为可数名词，又因为该处是泛指，different是以辅音音素开头的单词，则用不定冠词a，故填a。

Luis Goya, a football coach, was standing outside Rome City High School welcoming students inside. Suddenly, he heard a loud bang. He rushed to the closest crossing and saw a silver car crash into a tall tree. Luis quickly called 911 when he realized the driver inside the silver car was injured.
Georgia and his friends had seen the whole crash happen. He knew immediately that they had to help the driver, who was a 50-year-old woman, inside the car.
All the teenagers stopped their electric bikes, took off their helmets and rushed to help. They found the driver lying over into the passenger seat. She had blood on her face and was screaming.
Together with his teammates, Georgia tried to open the passenger side door, but it wouldn’t move a little. Then, they went to the driver’s side and began physically pulling the doors from its handle (把手).

Luis was watching all the things happen. He was incredibly impressed with the quick response from the high school athletes, noting that they did not hesitate to rush towards a potentially dangerous situation to help a stranger. He joined them. They started using their strength to pull the door open, so the lady could be released.
They finally opened the door and helped the woman to safety. The scene was in a mess. The injured woman was moaning and shaking because of pain and fear. Georgia rushed to the nearest medicine shop to buy some bandages for the woman to stop the bleeding. By that time, the police and the first-aid rescue workers were on the scene. The broken car was dealt with properly and the woman was taken to the hospital. She was expected to make a full recovery, and now everyone in town is praising those young men wearing helmets for their heroism!

Four months ago, OpenAI, a small San Francisco company, became the talk of the technology industry when it introduced a new online chatbot that could answer complex questions, write poetry and copy human emotions. Now the company is back with a new version (型号) of the technology, called GPT-4.
GPT-4, which learns its skills by analyzing large data from the Internet, improves on what powered the original ChatGPT in several ways. It can immediately know someone’s tax duties and provide detailed descriptions of images. However, though the new technology can do better on tests and offer precise medical advice to doctors, it can mess up basic arithmetic (算术).
On Tuesday, OpenAI started selling access to GPT-4 so that businesses and other software developers could build their own applications on top of it. A few companies are already working with GPT-4. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is building a system that’ll immediately retrieve (检索) information from company documents, and serve it up to financial advisers in the form of conversations.
OpenAI got the new technology enhanced. As people tested ChatGPT, they rated the chatbot’s responses, separating those that were useful and truthful from those that weren’t. Then, using an advanced skill, the system spent months analyzing those ratings and gaining a better understanding of what it should and shouldn’t do.
Given a long article and asked to summarize it, GPT-4 will give a precise summary nearly every time. Moreover, given a photograph, chart or diagram, the technology can provide a detailed, paragraphs-long description of the image and answer questions about its contents.
OpenAI leaders said the company wasn’t immediately releasing the image description part of the technology because they were unsure how it could be applied for improper purposes. However, “We can take all these general-purpose knowledge skills and spread them across all sorts of different areas,” said Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president. “This takes the technology into a whole new field.”
8. What does GPT-4 need to make improvements in according to the text
A. Its describing skill. B. Its arithmetic ability.
C. Its copying capability. D. Its summary function.
9. Why is Morgan Stanley Wealth Management mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To give an example. B. To present a belief.
C. To explain an idea. D. To make a conclusion.
10. What does the underlined word “enhanced” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Replaced. B. Appreciated. C. Improved. D. Developed.
11. What was OpenAI’s worry about GPT-4
A. It may not understand what to do. B. Its technology could go into a new field.
C. It may not sell well as expected. D. Its image description could be misused.
D
Since the rise in car ownership in the 1950s, the US has started building roads in cities and across the country to provide enough room for automobiles. Houston, like many cities, is turning back the clock to make room for passers-by, cyclists and parks.
Memorial Park in Houston, Texas was halved by the Memorial Drive Highway in the1950s. It has now been reunited. The highway is still there, but the road goes underneath the 1,500-acre park.
The restoration(修复) of Memorial Park is part of a larger plan that was made after the city suffered from a serious drought. It was thought that 80 percent of the forested canopy (树冠) was dead. One of the ways to fight that was to reintroduce native plants and animals.
The city hired the landscape architectural company, Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, to work with the Houston parks and the Memorial Parks Conservancy. The architects, led by Woltz, were inspired by wildlife crossings in the Northwest US and explored the possibility of using this idea in Memorial Park. Over the years, the park was cut into 20 pieces that were divided by highways, roads and parking lots. The only crossing was a 12-foot bridge.
After 10 years of planning and constructing, the Kinder Land Bridge officially opened in early February, 2023. The bridge consists of 100 acres of greenery, and while designed for people, has reconnected wildlife corridors(廊道). The reconstruction added 45 acres of native Gulf Coast prairie(草原) that’ll increase biodiversity in the park. “This project is not just about creating a passage or a bridge. This project is about ecology, it’s about biodiversity and water management. This project is a bridge into Houston’s future.” said Shellye Arnold, president of the Memorial Park Conservancy.
12. What led to the restoration of the Memorial Park
A. A company’s suggestion. B. A terrible natural disaster.
