Do you know ChatGPT? It’s an artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) tool. It can answer questions, tell stories, and do much more. But it’s very “thirsty”, said a new study.
ChatGPT has “homes” around the world in data centers (数据中心) When it works, the computers at the data centers get very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down. Cold water goes into pipes (管道) near the computers. The water needs to be very clean. They can’t use seawater because it can eat away at the pipes.
When you ask ChatGPT 20 to 50 questions, it “drinks” 500 milliliters of water. Scientists used 700, 000 liters of water to build ChatGPT. The water use is very big. People can make 370 cars with it. ChatGPT is just one AI tool. You need data centers to do everything on the Internet. There are more than 8, 000 data centers around the world. The number is still growing. We may have to “fight ” with AI for water in the future.
15. The new study used the word “thirsty” to show that ________.
A. ChatGPT looks like a man B. ChatGPT can eat and drink
C. ChatGPT talks too much D. ChatGPT needs water when working

a. They are AIs just like ChatGPT.
b. The computers there get hot when ChatGPT works.

18 Why does the writer write about cars in the last paragraph?

C. To help scientists find a better way to build ChatGPT.
D. To give an idea about how to use ChatGPT.
(C)
People tell more lies than they think. When talking for 10 minutes, about 60 percent of people lie once or more. People may tell lies every day. Have you heard of the story of Pinocchio? Pinocchio lies, and his nose gets longer. When a person lies, what happens?
Scientists from the US studied two groups of people. They told the first group not to tell lies. They didn’t say anything to the second group. The study went on for 10 weeks.
The “no-lie” group was healthier. They didn’t have as many headaches as before. They were happier and got closer to people. More people liked being around them. They didn’t have to think a lot to make up for their lies, said the study.
Lying makes most people uncomfortable. Your heart beats faster. A part of your brain (大脑) wakes up. It usually turns on when the person is scared or about to run away. So don’t tell lies—you’ll feel better that way.
19. What did the scientists tell the first group of people?
A. Their nose will get longer. B. They can’t tell lies for ten weeks.
C. They can’t say anything for ten weeks. D. They can’t speak to the second group.

C. When do people want to tell lies? D. Why shouldn’t we tell lies?

He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back.

【导语】本文主要介绍“口渴”的人工智能,需要一个大型的电脑数据中心,而数据中心运行时,需要大量的水来降温,以确保机器长久运行。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When it works, the computers at the data centers get very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down.”可知,数据中心电脑工作时需要水来降温。故选D。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When it works, the computers at the data centers get very hot.”和第四段中的“ChatGPT has “homes” around the world in data centers (数据中心)”可知,当Chat GPT工作时,那里的计算机会变热;数据中心在世界不同的地方。故选D。
【17题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“When it works, the computers at the data centers get very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down.”可知,当Chat GPT工作时,数据中心的计算机会变得非常热,然后,工人们必须用水来冷却电脑,所以划线部分指代的是“computers”。故选B。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The water use is very big. People can make 370 cars with it.”可推知,数据中心降温的用水量很大,相当于制造370辆车的用水量,所以这篇文章提到370辆汽车是为了显示在建造 ChatGPT时需要的大量用水。故选B。

People tell more lies than they think. When talking for 10 minutes, about 60 percent of people lie once or more. People may tell lies every day. Have you heard of the story of Pinocchio? Pinocchio lies, and his nose gets longer. When a person lies, what happens?
Scientists from the US studied two groups of people. They told the first group not to tell lies. They didn’t say anything to the second group. The study went on for 10 weeks.
The “no-lie” group was healthier. They didn’t have as many headaches as before. They were happier and got closer to people. More people liked being around them. They didn’t have to think a lot to make up for their lies, said the study.
Lying makes most people uncomfortable. Your heart beats faster. A part of your brain (大脑) wakes up. It usually turns on when the person is scared or about to run away. So don’t tell lies—you’ll feel better that way.

A. How does the brain help us lie? B. What happened to the second group?
C. When do people want to tell lies? D. Why shouldn’t we tell lies?
【答案】19. B 20. A 21. C 22. D
【解析】
