4．（7.5分）ChatGPT has recently become a heated topic.Designed by OpenAI，it could carry on conversations just like humans.Because of this，the AI﹣powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days!Its ability to provide in﹣depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of some big technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense.Its huge body of knowledge has been gathered from the Internet and a wide collection of books.It is further trained by humans.This makes ChatGPTa useful tool for researching almost any topic.
"We have a lot of information on the Internet，but you normally have to Google it，then read it and then do something with it，chief science officer and cofounder of AI company Erudit."Now ChatGPT can process all the information on the Internet to answer your questions."
ChatGPT cannot think on its own.It depends on the information that it has been trained on.As a result，the AI tool works well for things that have accurate（精确的） data available.However，ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses.OpenAI warns users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds.Also，ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021.Hence，we can't rely on it for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real﹣world problems.It can translate long texts into different languages，create content on almost any topic，and oven summarize books.
However，ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators.Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom.It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts.But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat.They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem﹣solving skills.As a result，many areas are starting to prevent its use in schools.
（1）What makes ChatGPT so popular in just five days？
A.It is an AI﹣powered tool.
B.It can answer users' questions.
C.It can have a meaningful conversation.
D.It attracts the attention of successful tech companies.
（2）What can we learn from Ricardo about ChatGPT？
A.It is trained by humans.
B.It has a huge body of knowledge.
C.It understands what the user says or types.
D.It deals with all the information the Internet contains.
（3）What is the purpose of paragraph 4？
A.To list the disadvantages of ChatGPT.
B.To show the logical ability of ChatGPT.
C.To introduce the development of ChatGPT.
D.To explain the independent thinking of ChatGPT.
（4）Which of the following is NOT the potential of ChatGPT？

4．（7.5分）ChatGPT has recently become a heated topic.Designed by OpenAI，it could carry on conversations just like humans.Because of this，the AI﹣powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days!Its ability to provide in﹣depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of some big technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense.Its huge body of knowledge has been gathered from the Internet and a wide collection of books.It is further trained by humans.This makes ChatGPTa useful tool for researching almost any topic.
"We have a lot of information on the Internet，but you normally have to Google it，then read it and then do something with it，chief science officer and cofounder of AI company Erudit."Now ChatGPT can process all the information on the Internet to answer your questions."
ChatGPT cannot think on its own.It depends on the information that it has been trained on.As a result，the AI tool works well for things that have accurate（精确的） data available.However，ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses.OpenAI warns users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds.Also，ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021.Hence，we can't rely on it for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real﹣world problems.It can translate long texts into different languages，create content on almost any topic，and oven summarize books.
However，ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators.Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom.It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts.But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat.They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem﹣solving skills.As a result，many areas are starting to prevent its use in schools.
