Given just a short sentence describing a picture, the tool can create different pictures in many different styles. The name “DALL-E” mixes the name of the robot in the movie WALL-E, and the name of the famous Spanish artist Salvador Dalí. He painted amazing, but impossible pictures. Like Dalí, DALL-E 2 can create pictures that are unbelievable, for example, Teddy bears doing crazy experiments as scientists.   OpenAI has already changed the world once with its AI writing tool, GPT-3. GPT-3 was trained on a great deal of writing in many different styles. When it was released (发布) in 2020, it surprised people by quickly creating complete, well-written articles in different styles. It is so powerful that OpenAI has tried to be prudent when it comes to how it allows people to use the tool, to make sure that it isn’t used for harmful purposes. DALL-E actually grew out of an effort to apply (应用) GPT-3 to pictures. OpenAI released the first version of DALL-E in 2021. DALL-E 2 is even more powerful. DALL-E 2 has been trained on huge numbers of pictures with matching descriptions, which means it “knows” a lot about how different things look, even when they’re shown in different styles, such as a photo, a painting or even a cartoon. The user can select an area of an image (图像) and ask DALL-E 2 to put something into the picture, or take it out. Some artists are worried that it will take their place if a computer system can create such high-quality pictures so easily. OpenAI says the tool will allow artists to be creative in new ways. To make sure the tool isn’t misused, OpenAI already has strict rules about the types of pictures that can be created with DALL-E. One of those rules prevents DALL-E from creating realistic pictures of actual (真实的) people. By now, the company hasn’t released DALL-E 2. Instead, it is allowing a small number of people to work with the tool to learn more about what works well, and to discover possible problems. 26．The name “DALL-E” comes from __________. A．a film and a robot B．a toy and a robot C．an artist and a robot D．a company and a movie 27．What does the underlined word “prudent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Careful. B．Confident. C．Patient. D．Modest. 28．The most suitable place for the sentence “Does DALL-E 2 have anything new?” is __________. A．at the beginning of Paragraph 3 B．at the beginning of Paragraph 4 C．at the beginning of Paragraph 5 D．at the beginning of Paragraph 6 29．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．How DALL-E 2 Makes Use of GPT-3 B．Why OpenAI Develops Its DALL-E 2 C．DALL-E 2 Helps Offer Artists New Jobs D．From Words, DALL-E 2 Creates Pictures B ①You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world: robots. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can give food and drinks to the guests, and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you touched their heads. But are robot waiters the future? ②Many people think robot waiters are the answer to worker shortage. In some places, there are not enough workers. And robots can be used instead of humans, so sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of hundreds of them now moving through eating places all over the world. ③In Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai was having trouble finding workers for his restaurant Noodle Topia in the summer of 2021. So, he bought a robot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he bought two more. Now, one robot leads guests to their seats while another brings some food to tables. Zhai said he now needs three people to do the same work that five or six people used to do. And they save him money. “I spend around $15,000 on a robot, but $5,000 to $6,000 per month on a person,” he said. ④But others say robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace (取代) humans. They cannot take orders. And they cannot walk up steps to different areas or floors of a restaurant. Restaurants are pretty noisy places, so it’s very hard to use technology in a useful and productive way, said Craig Le Clair from the advising company Forrester. ⑤Still, the use of robot waiters is growing. California-based Bear Robotics introduced its Servi robot in 2021. The company expects to have 10,000 produced by the end of this year in 44 U.S. states and overseas. In China, Shenzen-based Pudu Robotics, which was set up in 2016, has made more than 56,000 robots. With the development in AI, it won’t be long before they become part of our everyday lives. 30．The writer uses the example of Li Zhai to explain ________. A．it’s expensive to buy a robot waiter B．robot waiters help solve worker shortage C．robot waiters are more useful than workers D．finding workers in Michigan is not difficult 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．It’s impossible for robots to replace human waiters. B．Robot waiters can do all kinds of work in restaurants. C．There have already been robots working in restaurants. D．It is too expensive to use robot waiters in restaurants now. 32．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the future of robot waiters? A．Shocked. B．Hopeful. C．Unsure. D．Worried. 33．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． C When was the last time you sent someone a letter by regular mail? Thanks to the speed and ease of using the Internet, sending e-mails rather than mailing letters using the postal system—is the preferred means of communication for many people. In a survey of 2,000 young people conducted by the e-mail provider MSN Hotmail, around half said they sent thank-you notes by e-mail, not post. Besides sending more personal e-mails, young people entering the working world today find themselves sending and replying to hundreds of business related e-mails every week. However, many of these same young people seem to be unaware of some basic rules when it comes to sending e-mails at work. Most of the people who responded to the survey said they didn’t check their spelling or punctuation (标点符号) before hitting “send”. Even more surprising was that one in twenty of the survey’s respondents said they sometimes end e-mails to their boss with the words “love and kisses”! While this is fine for personal messages to friends and loved ones, it is normally considered improper workplace etiquette (礼节). The main reason for this use of informal language in workplace e-mails is that many young people always communicate with others on the Internet in a relaxed and friendly manner. For many, online communication outside of work involves talking with others in chat rooms, posting on message boards, and sending e-mails to friends—all for fun. Another reason is that some young people now entering the workforce are unfamiliar with how to write formal letters, because they have had no training in how to compose a basic business letter, and are unaware of the style and language that should, and should not, be used. With more business correspondence using the Internet than ever before, it is important for people to be aware of the differences in language use between personal and business communication—especially when using e-mails. So the next time you send an e-mail at the office, remember you’re not just online, you’re at work. 34．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 35．What can we learn from the survey? A．Most young people in the survey use letters to communicate during work. B．About 1,000 young people show their thanks through e-mails. C．Young people in the survey send hundreds of personal e-mails every week. D．No one among the young people in the working world choose to post. 36．What do most young people NOT do for online communication outside of work? A．Posing news on message board. B．Talking with others in chat rooms. C．Sending e-mails to close friends. D．Writing business letters to their boss. 37．What is the best title for the passage? A．No E-mails in the Workplace B．Rapid Development of the Online Communication C．Formal Letter Writing: A Dying Art D．More Training in How to Write Business Letters D What makes smartphones fun and useful?

DALL-E actually grew out of an effort to apply (应用) GPT-3 to pictures. OpenAI released the first version of DALL-E in 2021. DALL-E 2 is even more powerful. DALL-E 2 has been trained on huge numbers of pictures with matching descriptions, which means it “knows” a lot about how different things look, even when they’re shown in different styles, such as a photo, a painting or even a cartoon. The user can select an area of an image (图像) and ask DALL-E 2 to put something into the picture, or take it out. Some artists are worried that it will take their place if a computer system can create such high-quality pictures so easily. OpenAI says the tool will allow artists to be creative in new ways. To make sure the tool isn’t misused, OpenAI already has strict rules about the types of pictures that can be created with DALL-E. One of those rules prevents DALL-E from creating realistic pictures of actual (真实的) people. By now, the company hasn’t released DALL-E 2. Instead, it is allowing a small number of people to work with the tool to learn more about what works well, and to discover possible problems. 26．The name “DALL-E” comes from __________. A．a film and a robot B．a toy and a robot C．an artist and a robot D．a company and a movie 27．What does the underlined word “prudent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Careful. B．Confident. C．Patient. D．Modest. 28．The most suitable place for the sentence “Does DALL-E 2 have anything new?” is __________. A．at the beginning of Paragraph 3 B．at the beginning of Paragraph 4 C．at the beginning of Paragraph 5 D．at the beginning of Paragraph 6 29．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．How DALL-E 2 Makes Use of GPT-3 B．Why OpenAI Develops Its DALL-E 2 C．DALL-E 2 Helps Offer Artists New Jobs D．From Words, DALL-E 2 Creates Pictures 【答案】26．C 27．A 28．C 29．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了OpenAI公司最近宣布了其人工智能艺术家DALL-E 2的新版本，只需一句描述图片的短句，该工具就可以创建多种不同风格的不同图片。 26．细节理解题。根据“The name ‘DALL-E’ mixes the name of the robot in the movie WALL-E, and the name of the famous Spanish artist Salvador Dalí.”可知这个名字混合了电影《WALL-E》中机器人的名字和西班牙著名艺术家萨尔瓦多·达利的名字。故选C。 27．词义猜测题。根据“It is so powerful that OpenAI has tried to be prudent when it comes to how it allows people to use the tool, to make sure that it isn’t used for harmful purposes.”可知它是如此强大，以至于OpenAI在如何允许人们使用该工具时试图保持谨慎，以确保它不会被用于有害目的，故此处划线部分和careful意义相近。故选A。 28．推理判断题。根据“The user can select an area of an image (图像) and ask DALL-E 2 to put something into the picture, or take it out...OpenAI says the tool will allow artists to be creative in new ways.”可知用户可以选择图像的一个区域，并要求DALL-E 2将一些东西放入图片中，或将其取出，该工具将允许艺术家以新的方式进行创作，这是DALL-E 2的新应用，故“DALL-E 2有什么新东西吗”放在第五段的开头。故选C。 29．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了OpenAI公司最近宣布了其人工智能艺术家DALL-E 2的新版本，只需一句描述图片的短句，该工具就可以创建多种不同风格的不同图片，以选项D“从文字，DALL-E 2创造图片”为标题最合适。故选D。 B ①You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world: robots. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can give food and drinks to the guests, and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you touched their heads. But are robot waiters the future? ②Many people think robot waiters are the answer to worker shortage. In some places, there are not enough workers. And robots can be used instead of humans, so sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of hundreds of them now moving through eating places all over the world. ③In Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai was having trouble finding workers for his restaurant Noodle Topia in the summer of 2021. So, he bought a robot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he bought two more. Now, one robot leads guests to their seats while another brings some food to tables. Zhai said he now needs three people to do the same work that five or six people used to do. And they save him money. “I spend around $15,000 on a robot, but $5,000 to $6,000 per month on a person,” he said. ④But others say robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace (取代) humans. They cannot take orders. And they cannot walk up steps to different areas or floors of a restaurant. Restaurants are pretty noisy places, so it’s very hard to use technology in a useful and productive way, said Craig Le Clair from the advising company Forrester. ⑤Still, the use of robot waiters is growing. California-based Bear Robotics introduced its Servi robot in 2021. The company expects to have 10,000 produced by the end of this year in 44 U.S. states and overseas. In China, Shenzen-based Pudu Robotics, which was set up in 2016, has made more than 56,000 robots. With the development in AI, it won’t be long before they become part of our everyday lives. 30．The writer uses the example of Li Zhai to explain ________. A．it’s expensive to buy a robot waiter B．robot waiters help solve worker shortage C．robot waiters are more useful than workers D．finding workers in Michigan is not difficult 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．It’s impossible for robots to replace human waiters. B．Robot waiters can do all kinds of work in restaurants. C．There have already been robots working in restaurants. D．It is too expensive to use robot waiters in restaurants now. 32．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the future of robot waiters? A．Shocked. B．Hopeful. C．Unsure. D．Worried. 33．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】30．B 31．C 32．B 33．D 【导语】本文主要是探讨机器人服务员是不是未来，不同的人对此有不同的意见。 30．推理判断题。根据“In Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai was having trouble finding workers for his restaurant Noodle Topia in the summer of 2021. So, he bought a robot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he bought two more.”可知，通过他的例子可以知道，机器人服务员有助于解决工人短缺问题，故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据“There are tens of hundreds of them now moving through eating places all over the world.”以及“In Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai was having trouble finding workers for his restaurant Noodle Topia in the summer of 2021. So, he bought a robot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he bought two more.”可知，在许多餐厅已经有机器人服务员在工作。故选C。 32．观点态度题。根据“...With the development in AI, it won’t be long before they become part of our everyday lives.”可知，作者对机器人服务员的未来是充满希望的，故选B。 33．篇章结构题。根据整个文章的理解可知，第一段提出本文的观点——机器人服务员是否是未来，第二、三段介绍正观点：人们认为机器人可以代替人类使用，第四段介绍反观点：人们认为机器人代替人类工作还有很长的路要走，第五段介绍现在一些机器人生产公司的生产情况以及作者对机器人服务员未来的态度，故选D。 C When was the last time you sent someone a letter by regular mail? Thanks to the speed and ease of using the Internet, sending e-mails rather than mailing letters using the postal system—is the preferred means of communication for many people. In a survey of 2,000 young people conducted by the e-mail provider MSN Hotmail, around half said they sent thank-you notes by e-mail, not post. Besides sending more personal e-mails, young people entering the working world today find themselves sending and replying to hundreds of business related e-mails every week. However, many of these same young people seem to be unaware of some basic rules when it comes to sending e-mails at work. Most of the people who responded to the survey said they didn’t check their spelling or punctuation (标点符号) before hitting “send”. Even more surprising was that one in twenty of the survey’s respondents said they sometimes end e-mails to their boss with the words “love and kisses”! While this is fine for personal messages to friends and loved ones, it is normally considered improper workplace etiquette (礼节). The main reason for this use of informal language in workplace e-mails is that many young people always communicate with others on the Internet in a relaxed and friendly manner. For many, online communication outside of work involves talking with others in chat rooms, posting on message boards, and sending e-mails to friends—all for fun. Another reason is that some young people now entering the workforce are unfamiliar with how to write formal letters, because they have had no training in how to compose a basic business letter, and are unaware of the style and language that should, and should not, be used. With more business correspondence using the Internet than ever before, it is important for people to be aware of the differences in language use between personal and business communication—especially when using e-mails. So the next time you send an e-mail at the office, remember you’re not just online, you’re at work. 34．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 35．What can we learn from the survey? A．Most young people in the survey use letters to communicate during work. B．About 1,000 young people show their thanks through e-mails. C．Young people in the survey send hundreds of personal e-mails every week. D．No one among the young people in the working world choose to post. 36．What do most young people NOT do for online communication outside of work? A．Posing news on message board. B．Talking with others in chat rooms. C．Sending e-mails to close friends. D．Writing business letters to their boss. 37．What is the best title for the passage? A．No E-mails in the Workplace B．Rapid Development of the Online Communication C．Formal Letter Writing: A Dying Art D．More Training in How to Write Business Letters 【答案】34．A 35．B 36．D 37．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了当今的年轻人很少写正式的书信，并分析了其中的原因。 34．篇章结构题。根据第一段“Thanks to the speed and ease of using the Internet, sending e-mails rather than mailing letters using the postal system—is the preferred means of communication for many people.”可知，第一段主要讲了由于使用互联网的速度和方便，发送电子邮件是许多人首选的通信方式；根据第二段“around half said they sent thank-you notes by e-mail...find themselves sending and replying to hundreds of business related e-mails every week”可知，第二段主要讲述了年轻人频繁使用电子邮件；根据第三段“However, many of these same young people seem to be unaware of some basic rules when it comes to sending e-mails at work.”可知，第三段针对一、二段的现象进行剖析，指出许多人似乎不知道在工作中发送电子邮件的一些基本规则；根据第四段“The main reason...”和第五段“Another reason is...”可知，第四段和第五段说明第三段所指出问题的两个原因；根据最后一段“With more business correspondence using the Internet than ever before, it is important for people to be aware of the differences in language use between personal and business communication...”可知，最后一段进行总结，意识到个人和商务交流中语言使用的差异是很重要的；所以选项A图符合文章结构。故选A。 35．细节理解题。根据第二段“In a survey of 2000 young people conducted by the e-mail provider MSN Hotmail, around half said they sent thank-you notes by e-mail, not post.”可知，根据调查显示，2000名年轻人中约一半的人表示，他们通过电子邮件写感谢信。通过简单计算可知，大约有1000名年轻人通过电子邮件表示感谢。故选B。 36．细节理解题。根据第四段“For many, online communication outside of work involves talking with others in chat rooms, posting on message boards, and sending e-mail to friends-all for fun.”可知，对许多人来说，工作之外的在线交流包括在聊天室与他人交谈，在留言板上发帖，给朋友发电子邮件，不包括给老板写商务信函。故选D。 37．最佳标题。根据第一段“When was the last time you sent someone a letter by regular mail?”并结合全文内容，可知这篇文章以当今的年轻人很少写正式的书信这种现象为切入点，进而分析了原因。这篇文章最好的题目是“正式书信写作：一种即将消亡的艺术”。故选C。 D What makes smartphones fun and useful?
