There’s a new AI bot： ChatGPT， and you’d better pay attention， even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large， powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue， using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned （a method of transfer learning） using both supervised and reinforcement learning （监督和强化学习）.
You can ask ChatGPT anything， like explaining physics， asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming （编程） help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet， but it can be creative， and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch， more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January， accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server （服务器）， it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access， there is an option for you. As of 1 February 2023， OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan， ChatGPT Plus， which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.
However， ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions， but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.

Just a year ago， Sarah fulfilled the dream of owning her own bakery， which was very popular in the local and provided a well-off life for Sarah and her family. But last February， all fell apart， after a car accident left Sarah disabled.“I could barely talk or move，” she sobbed.
Darkness and depression drowned Sarah， help seemed out of reach； she couldn’t afford a psychologist. Even worse， she had no health insurance.
So her doctor suggested a mental-health app which offers free chatbot service. It is described as a “friendly” and “mental” tool， asking the patient some questions， like “How are you feeling？” or “What’s bothering you？” After the patient responds to the questions， the computer analyzes the words and phrases in the answers， and then delivers supportive messages which have been prewritten by trained human psychologists.
That is how Sarah found herself on a new frontier of technology and mental health. Advances in artificial intelligence are increasingly being looked to as a way to help people who suffer from mild depression or anxiety.
There are， of course， still plenty of doubts about whether machines can read or respond to the human emotions accurately. “Artificial intelligence is still not at a point where they can copy the complexities of human emotions， let alone imitate mental care，” a psychology professor in a mental health center said.
However， supporters of chatbot treatment say the approach may also be the only realistic and affordable way. It meets a huge worldwide need for more mental healthcare at a time when there are simply not enough professionals to help all the people who could benefit.
5.What can we know about Sarah from the first two paragraphs？（ ）
A.Her family fell apart in an accident.
B.She was nearly drowned in an accident.
C.She suffered a series of misfortunes then.
D.Her dream came true despite an accident.
6.How does the chatbot work according to the passage？（ ）
A.It answers personal questions.
B.It offers free face-to-face service.
C.It treats patients with medical care.
D.It stores related messages in advance.
7.Why do people doubt about the chatbot？（ ）
A.It is unable to respond to human emotions.
B.It may not react to human emotions correctly.
C.It copies the complexities of human emotions.
D.It imitates mental care from human psychologists.
8.Which of the following maybe the purpose of this passage？（ ）
A.To introduce a free mental-care chatbot.
B.To encourage readers to learn from Sarah.
C.To suggest a new way to do mental research.
D.To call for more attention on mental healthcare.

（2024·广西玉林高二上期末）In South Korea， students should pay for everything they learn in classes from K-pop auditions to real estate deals. Now， top Korean firms are introducing artificial intelligence in hiring and job seekers want to learn how to defeat the robots to get a job.
Many major South Korean companies like SK Innovation and Hyundai use AI in hiring， which generates classes for AI hiring booming fast. Career advisor Park Seong-jung is now offering a three-hour training course in handling recruitment， screening by computers， not people.
Preparing for such tests doesn’t necessarily involve simply memorizing answers. “Don’t force a smile with your lips，” Park Seong-jung told students looking for work in a recent session， one of many in which he said he has conducted for hundreds of people. “Smile with your eyes.”
One AI video system reviewed by Reuters asks candidates to introduce themselves， during which it spots and counts facial expressions including “fear” and “joy” and analyses word choices. It then asks questions that can be tough，“You are on a business trip with your boss and you spot him using the company credit card to buy himself a gift. What will you say？”
Kim Seok-wu， a 22-year-old senior at a top university， recently failed to get beyond an AI interview for a management position at a retail company. “I think I will feel hopeless if all companies go AI for hiring，” Kim said.“The AI interview is too new， so job hunters don’t know what to prepare for and any preparations seem meaningless since AI will read our faces if we make something up.”
9. Why do students in South Korea pay to study courses like AI hiring？（ ）
A.They want to be more competitive when faced with AI interview.
B.Big companies are in favor of it and want them to beat the androids.
C.They want to learn some AI knowledge and learn how to smile before AI.
D.AI can analyze their facial expressions and help to prepare for the interviews.
10. How does AI interview the job applicants according to the test？（ ）
A.By making a self introduction and answering some questions.
B.By asking interviewees how to deal with the boss’s asking for a gift.
C.By looking at what words the interviewees use when answering difficult questions.
D.By demanding an introduction， observing facial expressions and asking challenging questions.
11.What may be the job seekers’ attitude towards the AI in hiring？（ ）
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving.
C.Uncaring. D.Contradictory.
12. What is the style of the text？（ ）
A.A news report.
B.A job interview.
C.Scientific paper.
D.A job-seeking lecture.

作主语的名词词组中心词和谓语动词在单复数形式上的一致。如果
名词中心词是可数名词复数，谓语动词就用复数形式；如果名词中
心词不是复数，而是可数名词单数或不可数名词，谓语动词就用单
数形式。
2. 用法
（1）不可数名词或可数名词单数形式作主语时，谓语动词用单
数形式；可数名词的复数形式作主语时，谓语动词用复数
形式。

what引导的主语从句作主语时，谓语动词的单复数取决于作表语的名
词的单复数。
What we need is more money， but what they need are books.
我们需要的是更多的钱，但他们需要的是书。
（4）主语是由“many a＋名词”或“more than one＋名词”构成，其

There’s a new AI bot： ChatGPT， and you’d better pay
attention， even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an
AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and
test what a very large， powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue， using previous
questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers
from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top
of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned
（a method of transfer learning） using both supervised and reinforcement
learning （监督和强化学习）.
You can ask ChatGPT anything， like explaining physics， asking
for birthday party ideas and getting programming （编程） help. Perhaps
it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet， but it can be creative，
and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its
launch， more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS
analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached
100 million monthly users in January， accomplishing in 2 months what
took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research
phase. But when too many people hop onto the server （服务器）， it
overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try
visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If
you want to skip the wait and have reliable access， there is an option for
you. As of 1 February 2023， OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan，
ChatGPT Plus， which allows users to have general access even during
peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.
However， ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an
artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions， but
Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information
as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but
Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.

Just a year ago， Sarah fulfilled the dream of owning her own
bakery， which was very popular in the local and provided a well-off life
for Sarah and her family. But last February， all fell apart， after a car
accident left Sarah disabled.“I could barely talk or move，” she
sobbed.
Darkness and depression drowned Sarah， help seemed out of
reach； she couldn’t afford a psychologist. Even worse， she had no
health insurance.
So her doctor suggested a mental-health app which offers free chatbot
service. It is described as a “friendly” and “mental” tool， asking the
patient some questions， like “How are you feeling？” or “What’s
bothering you？” After the patient responds to the questions， the
computer analyzes the words and phrases in the answers， and then
delivers supportive messages which have been prewritten by trained human
psychologists.
That is how Sarah found herself on a new frontier of technology and
mental health. Advances in artificial intelligence are increasingly being
looked to as a way to help people who suffer from mild depression or
anxiety.
There are， of course， still plenty of doubts about whether machines
can read or respond to the human emotions accurately. “Artificial
intelligence is still not at a point where they can copy the complexities of
human emotions， let alone imitate mental care，” a psychology
professor in a mental health center said.
However， supporters of chatbot treatment say the approach may also
be the only realistic and affordable way. It meets a huge worldwide need
for more mental healthcare at a time when there are simply not enough
professionals to help all the people who could benefit.

（2024·广西玉林高二上期末）In South Korea， students should
pay for everything they learn in classes from K-pop auditions to real estate
deals. Now， top Korean firms are introducing artificial intelligence in
hiring and job seekers want to learn how to defeat the robots to get a job.
Many major South Korean companies like SK Innovation and
Hyundai use AI in hiring， which generates classes for AI hiring booming
fast. Career advisor Park Seong-jung is now offering a three-hour training
course in handling recruitment， screening by computers， not people.
Preparing for such tests doesn’t necessarily involve simply
memorizing answers. “Don’t force a smile with your lips，” Park
Seong-jung told students looking for work in a recent session， one of
many in which he said he has conducted for hundreds of people. “Smile
with your eyes.”
One AI video system reviewed by Reuters asks candidates to
introduce themselves， during which it spots and counts facial expressions
including “fear” and “joy” and analyses word choices. It then asks
questions that can be tough，“You are on a business trip with your boss
and you spot him using the company credit card to buy himself a gift.
What will you say？”
Kim Seok-wu， a 22-year-old senior at a top university， recently
failed to get beyond an AI interview for a management position at a retail
company. “I think I will feel hopeless if all companies go AI for
hiring，” Kim said.“The AI interview is too new， so job hunters
don’t know what to prepare for and any preparations seem meaningless
since AI will read our faces if we make something up.”
