八、阅读下面短文,根据短文内容判断句子正误。正确的填“A”,错误的填“B”。(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
A new robot may change the future. Developed by US company OpenAI, Chatbots ChatGPT has taken the Internet by storm, winning 100 million users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. In its own words, it is “a language model trained in a number of Internet text to help users get human-like text.”
Compared with Siri or other chatbots(聊天机器人),ChatGPT uses a much bigger database(数据库)for training. It also learns things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will make it right. “It’s a totally different product,” computer scientist Liu Xiaoguang from Nankai University said. “The knowledge level ChatGPT shows is similar to a university student. That’s why it shocked the world.” Many people worry about if this robot will take the place of humans in the future.
But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives unreal information. Since the robot is trained using words from the Internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases(偏见)about certain groups. These are all things that need to be dealt with. It still has a long way to go.
( )61.ChatGPT has won great popularity around the world since it came out.
( )62.People won’t have problems understanding other languages with the help of ChatGPT.
( )63.ChatGPT can correct the wrong answer after you telling it the right one.
( )64.ChatGPT shocked the world because it is smarter than university students.
( )65.In the writer’s opinion, ChatGPT will take humans’ places in the near future.

As we all know, September 10th is Teachers’ Day in China now. But do you know the ancient Chinese Teachers’ Day? It is a festival celebrating the over 2,000-year tradition of respecting teachers and education in China.
The history of Teachers’ Day dates back to the Han Dynasty. According to record, during the Han and Jin dynasties, on August 27 of the lunar calendar each year, the birthday of Confucius(孔子), the emperor would go to the Confucius’ Temple to show great honor to Confucius. He would also worship(敬拜)the great old teachers, and invite royal teachers to dinner. And on that day, teachers enjoyed a day’s vacation and were given dried meat as gifts. Besides, the best teachers who were chosen from the whole country would be given 500liang(两)silver coins each as prizes.
Normally, in ancient times, there was no fixed tuition fee(学费); the parents paid with money or food. Sometimes calligraphy works, paintings as well as books may be given to the teachers as gifts.
Among all the gift-giving traditions, the first meeting gift was a must. There were many traditions when students met their teachers for the first time. Before they met their teachers, they needed to tidy themselves and get well dressed. Before giving their teachers a “gift”, they needed to kowtow(磕头)to Confucius’ picture and then to their private teachers.
Though the way we celebrate the festivals is different, they share the same meaning to show our thanks and respect to teachers.
( )71.Why was the ancient Chinese Teachers’ Day on August 27?
A.It was Confucius’ birthday.
B.It was the emperor’s birthday.
C.There were important activities on that day.
( )72.What would NOT the emperor do to celebrate Chinese Teachers’ Day?

B.Visit the Confucius’ Temple.
C.Invite all great teachers to dinner.
( )73.What would be given to the best teachers as prizes in ancient times?
A. B. C.
( )74.What’s the right order of the following things when ancient students first met teachers?
①Give gifts to teachers. ②get tidy and well dressed.
③kowtow to teachers. ④kowtow to Confucius’ picture.
A.①②④③ B.②④③① C.②①④③

Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so addicted to(上瘾)smartphones but easily bored by studying?
It’s all because of something small and hard to see: dopamine. 1 Our brains release it when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we are rewarded(奖赏)。
2 For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 percent increase in dopamine, said US author Steven Kotler. But why?
When we scroll(滑动)on social media, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will comment on our posts. This uncertainty, or “the magic of maybe”, makes the dopamine system active, according to the popular science website Guokr.
3 When our expectations are met, dopamine is released. And to get more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn’t provide such uncertainty.
Can we do something to change that? According to Harvard Medical School’s Trevor Haynes, apps can become less addictive if we turn off notifications(通知)or change the screen colors to black and white. 4
As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and reward yourself for it, said Daniel Wong, author of The Happy Student. You could also explore interesting topics related to your textbook. 5 This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn.
A.Our brains release more dopanmine when we study.
B.We can also set time limits on apps to avoid overusing them.
C.Use what you’ve learned to make a difference in the real world.
D.Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical” that makes people feel good.
E.We get excited wondering if we have comments from our friends.
F.Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to release more dopamine.

Face changing, or Bian Lian in Chinese, is an important part of Sichuan Opera. It started about 300 years ago. And it is one of the great treasures in traditional Chinese culture. The changing faces show different feelings of actors in a special way.
People think face changing has something to do with fighting against dangerous animals. In ancient times, when people met with dangerous animals, they painted colorful pictures on their faces to scare the animals away. Later, people used this in the shows of Sichuan Opera. And as time went by, it turned into a great form of art.
Face changing is undoubtedly one of the most mysterious arts, and only the masters really know how it works. Many people are curious about the secret of face-changing. Generally, there are three face-changing techniques(技巧):
·Mopping(抹脸)
The performer mops out the colorful greasepaints(油彩)which are hidden in a certain part of his face to change his facial appearance when necessary.
·Blowing(吹脸)
The performer blows powder hidden in his hands or a small box on the stage so that it blows back onto his face following with his move.
·Pulling(扯脸)
The performer can pull down a mask which has been hidden on the top of his head ahead of time, changing his face into red, green, blue or black to express happiness, hate, anger or sadness. This technique is so complicated that the performer must move quickly yet smoothly to achieve the amazing effect.
Face changing is an ever-changing art, and it continues to develop with technology. By the early 1900s, artists could switch up to 3 masks each performance. By the 1990s, artists could employ up to 4 masks, and by 2000, the number rose to 8. Nowadays, using silk masks and modern technology, artists can change 18 to 20 different masks.
