A
With the sudden breakthroughs in artificial intelligence over the last year, a sudden realization has come for those of us in the writing circle that the robots have come for our jobs at last. Recently, Hollywood writers went on a strike over concerns about being replaced. It ended in a modest victory, but it seemed like a losing battle, like the 18th-century craftsmen trying to stop new machines but in vain.
The replacement of physical labour by machines was often beneficial in itself, even if it did not feel that way at the time. In all previous waves of technological change, the jobs lost have been made up for by the jobs created, usually better ones. Can the same be said when it comes to writing Language is hard-wired into us, which is the property of human. Writing is how we do our best thinking, as Joan Didion observed, “I don’t know what I think until I write it down”, and thinking is what makes us human. What happens when we no longer rely on our own thoughts to address more complex problems
Probably it won’t come to that, or not yet. I remember when we said the same thing about computers playing chess, the technology is still in its early stage. In a few years, we may no longer be able to tell the difference. What then
Most likely the first writing to be replaced will be patterned writing like business and promotional writings. It may be that writers will take on a role similar to today’s artisans and craftsmen, pride for their “handmade” honour. The best writing may be produced neither entirely by computer nor by humans, but by the two combined. For however it is produced, some writing will always be better than other writing. Who says You, the reader. It may be possible to teach a computer to write, but only a human can feel the pleasure of reading, or the pain.
1. What was the main concern of Hollywood writers
A. The increase in working hours. B. The use of AI in writing rooms.
C. The decrease in salaries for them. D. The lack of full control over work.
2. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. We are born with language. B. Language is hard to replace.
C. Language is difficult to change. D. We benefit from language.
3. What might be the first type of writing to be replaced by AI
A. Creative fiction writing. B. Scientific research paper.
C. Advertisement and brochure. D. Children literature and poetry.
4. What would be the best title of the text
A. Can AI redefine human’s future B. Will the pen be mightier than AI
C. Is AI a threat to human creativity D. Will literature be dead due to AI
B
When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.
Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people's feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.
“It doesn't take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain, ” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn't join in the study. “Unlike other medications, ” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level) . ”
The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object—similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants' skin—to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.
With millions of songs available, one person's favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.
“It's a very cool result, ” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it's why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music. ”
5. Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph
A. To reach a conclusion. B. To provide the background.
C. To offer a suggestion. D. To lead in the topic.
6. What is Stroman's attitude to the effect of listening to music
A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
7. What did the participants do in the new study
A. They made various kinds of teacups. B. They interviewed many musicians.
C. They reported their feelings of pain. D. They picked out the music they don't like.
8. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music B. Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain
C. The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music D. How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly
