Microsoft greeted the start of a new era for the Internet last night,saying that it would improve its search engine and browser using artificial intelligence.The technology behind the viral ChatGPT service will be integrated into the American software group’s products.
Bing,Microsoft’s search site,and Edge,its online browser(浏览器),would be upgraded to generate everything from recipes and shopping suggestions to draft emails and social media posts in response to inquiries from users,the company said.
Microsoft revealed its plans a day after Google had announced Bard,its own chatbot,and promised further to integrate AI into its search engine.The two companies are racing to dominate AI,betting that it will revolutionise the way in which people gather information online.“Rapid innovation is going to come,” said Satya Nadella,chairman and chief executive of Microsoft.“AI will fundamentally change every software category,starting with the largest category of all:search.”
Bing would be powered by AI,and the new iteration will answer questions in a similar,conversational fashion to ChatGPT,Microsoft said.It could draft a plan for a trip to Mexico,for example,before estimating the cost and drafting an email setting out the plan for other travellers,in response to follow-up inquiries.Other queries suggested by Microsoft included whether an Ikea loveseat would fit into a 2019 Honda Odyssey and what an electronic music fan’s first festival should be.
A panel in the company’s Edge browser will be able to compose messages or social media posts for users,based on commands regarding content,tone,format and length.
Analysts have suggested that AI could transform online search and could pose a serious threat to Google,the market leader.Bing is trying to overtake Google after enduring years in its shadow.Google,which is owned by Alphabet,once claimed that the most searched-for term on Bing was “Google”.

1.答案 to
解析 考查介词。be addicted to意为“沉迷于”,为固定搭配,所以应用介词to。故填to。
2.答案 feeling
解析 考查非谓语动词。动词feel意为“感觉”,和谓语之间没有连词,和主语he构成主动关系,所以应用现在分词作状语。故填feeling。
3.答案 Needless
解析 考查形容词。句意:不用说,他各科成绩都很差。“needless to say”意为“不用说”,为固定搭配。所以应用形容词needless。句首首字母应大写。故填Needless。
4.答案 how
解析 考查副词。此处应用how表示“如何”,修饰动词punished作状语。故填how。
5.答案 arranged
解析 考查时态。此处描述过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故填arranged。
6.答案 sleep

解析 考查代词。根据“Following my advice”可知,此处是指他的父亲这样做了。所以应用代词so表示“这样”。故填so。
9.答案 having read
解析 考查非谓语动词。admit having done意为“承认做了某事”,为固定搭配,现在分词的完成式表示动作发生在谓语之前。故填having read。
10.答案 games
解析 考查主谓一致和名词复数。此处为it强调句,被强调部分为主语,因为谓语是poison,所以主语应为复数形式。故填games。
