Four months ago. OpenAl, 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, OpenAl 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.
OpenAl 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, OpenAl's president. "This takes the technology into a whole new field."
32.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.
33. 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.
34.What does the underlined word "enhanced" in paragraph 4 mean
A.Replaced. B.Appreciated. C.Improved. D.Developed.
35.What was OpenAl'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.
