Can AI Create “Great” Poetry?
Last week, I sent a request to ChatGPT, the latest artificial intelligence chatbot. In less than a minute, the program had created in full a rhyming Shakespearean sonnet (莎士比亚十四行诗). Tools like ChatGPT seem sure to change the world of poetry — and so much else — but poets also have a lot to teach us about artificial intelligence. If algorithms are getting good at writing poetry, it’s partially 1 poetry was always an algorithmic business.
Even the most rebellious poets follow more rules than they might like to admit. When 2 (teach) to imitate the structure of sonnet, schoolchildren are effectively learning to follow algorithmic constraints. 3 it surprise us that computers can do so, too?
But considering how ChatGPT works, its ability to follow the rules for sonnets seems 4 (impressive) as no one taught it these rules. It is based on a newer kind of AI known as a large language model (LLM). 5 (put) it simply, LLMs analyze large amounts of human writing and learn to predict the next word which should appear in a string of text, based on context. One frequent criticism of LLMs is that they do not understand 6 they write; they just do a great job of guessing the next word.
The moment a private verse by Dickinson makes us feel like the poet speaks directly to us, we 7 (experience) the effects of a technology called language. Of course, every Dickinson poem reflects her intention to create meaning. When ChatGPT puts words together, it intends 8 . Some argue that writings by LLMs therefore have no meaning, only the appearance of it. If I see a cloud in the sky that looks like a giraffe, I recognize it as an accidental similarity. In the same way, this argument goes, we should regard the writings of ChatGPT as merely imitating real language, meaningless and random as cloud shapes.
When I showed my friends the sonnet by ChatGPT, they called it “soulless and barren” 9 following all the rules for sonnets. But is the average sonnet by a human any better? 10 we now expect computers to write not just poems but good poems, then we have set a much higher bar.

(24-25高二上·上海浦东新·期中)A biography of Bill Gates: Dollar Bill
“Americans appear to be growing increasingly uneasy about billionaires,” observes Anupreeta Das, a journalist at the New York Times. With his long career and its many ups and downs, Mr. Gates is “the perfect prism (棱镜) through which to project tricky moral questions” in pursuit of a “collective rethink” about American values.
In the biography, Ms. Das goes from the founding of Microsoft in 1975 to its stock market flotation (上市)11 years later. By 1995 Mr. Gates was the youngest billionaire and the richest person in America but was facing a new problem: his company was so dominant that it attracted the attention of antitrust regulators. The heroic nerd had come to be seen as a villain (反派).
So, Mr. Gates reinvented himself as a philanthropist (慈善家), establishing the world’s largest charitable foundation with his then wife Melinda and promoting among other billionaires the Giving Pledge (a promise to donate most of one’s wealth to charitable causes). So successful was this reinvention that Mr. Gates was the most admired man in the world from 2014 to 2019, according toYouGov polls.
But then his scandals (丑闻)led to the collapse of his marriage. At the same time, the power of his foundation began to come under increasing inspection. The foundation pours billions into public-health initiatives, outspending many governments, and thus shapes health policy in many countries — yet it is accountable to nobody but the Gateses. During the covid-19 pandemic, Mr. Gates was also the subject of conspiracy theories (阴谋论) suggesting that he was profiting from vaccines and even injecting tiny microchips into people. The hero had once again become a villain.
But Ms. Das’s book is most interesting when it shows how Mr. Gates has influenced other billionaires, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, how they have followed his example, and how they have not.
The book shows Mr. Gates from many angles but provides few insights of him as a person. There is a Gates-shaped hole at the centre of the narrative; Ms. Das was not allowed to interview Mr. Gates. So what does she conclude about billionaires? They are, she suggests, lightning rods.(避雷针)for deeper concerns about inequality and privilege. But she holds back from making a strong argument about Mr. Gates. A book that promises to tackle billionaires’ place in society asks many questions, but also asks readers to make up their own minds.
1.What is the main purpose of Anupreeta Das’s biography of Bill Gates?
A.To document the personal life and career success of Bill Gates.
B.To celebrate Bill Gates’s achievements in the technology industry.
C.To provide a detailed account of the history of Microsoft.
D.To explore the moral implications of America values.
2.Why was Bill Gates regarded a villain?
①Microsoft was so dominant as to attract the attention of antitrust regulators.
②He established the world’s largest charitable foundation and reinvented himself as a philanthropist.
③His investment in public-health initiatives exceeded many governments, thus shaping health policy accountable to only the Gateses.
④He was accused of profiting from vaccines and even injecting tiny microchips into people during the covid-19 pandemic.
A.①②④ B.①③④ C.②③④ D.①②③④
3.Which of the following is most likely to be included in this book?
A.A specific description of Ms. Das’ interview with Bill Gates and the transcript of it.
B.Bill Gates’ personality, hobbies, and personal anecdotes in his early life at Microsoft.
C.The story that Mr. Zuckerberg faced his own crisis, and turned to Mr. Gates for advice.
D.Ms. Das’ strong argument about Mr. Gates, such as concerns about inequality and privilege.
4.What is the overall tone of the author towards Bill Gates and other tech billionaires in this book?
A.Neutral and informative.
B.Admiring and supportive.
C.Critical and disapproving.
D.Sympathetic and understanding.

The moment a private verse by Dickinson makes us feel like the poet speaks directly to us, we 7 (experience) the effects of a technology called language. Of course, every Dickinson poem reflects her intention to create meaning. When ChatGPT puts words together, it intends 8 . Some argue that writings by LLMs therefore have no meaning, only the appearance of it. If I see a cloud in the sky that looks like a giraffe, I recognize it as an accidental similarity. In the same way, this argument goes, we should regard the writings of ChatGPT as merely imitating real language, meaningless and random as cloud shapes.
When I showed my friends the sonnet by ChatGPT, they called it “soulless and barren” 9 following all the rules for sonnets. But is the average sonnet by a human any better? 10 we now expect computers to write not just poems but good poems, then we have set a much higher bar.

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章探讨了AI创作诗歌的能力,指出虽然AI能完美遵循诗歌规则,但由于缺乏人类的理解和创作意图,其作品仍被认为是“空洞”的;同时提出思考:如果以人类的标准要求AI诗歌,实际上是设定了更高的评判标准。
1.考查表语从句。句意:如果算法越来越擅长写诗,部分原因在于诗歌本身始终是一种算法行为。空处引导表语从句,根据“poetry was always an algorithmic business”可知,此处解释“算法擅长写诗”的原因,因此用because引导从句。故填because。
2.考查状语从句中的省略。句意:当学生们被教导模仿十四行诗的结构时,他们实际上是在学习遵循算法约束。此处用了When引导时间状语从句,且从句的主语和主句的主语一致,从句中含有be动词,因此对主语和be动词同时进行了省略,teach“教导”和被省略的主语schoolchildren之间是被动关系,因此应用teach的过去分词形式。故填taught。
3.考查情态动词。句意:这也应该让我们感到惊讶吗?句子为一般疑问句,动词surprise为原形,空处应为助动词或情态动词,结合前一句内容可知,此处是对“感到惊讶”的合理性提出质疑,表示“应该让我们感到惊讶吗”,因此用情态动词should,且句首单词的首字母需大写。故填Should。
4.考查比较级。句意:但考虑到ChatGPT的工作原理,它在无人教导的情况下掌握十四行诗规则的能力似乎更加令人印象深刻。空处作表语,结合后文“as no one taught it”可知,此处暗示比较,表示比有人教的情况“更令人印象深刻”,因此用impressive的比较级形式。故填more impressive。
5.考查固定短语。句意:简而言之,LLM通过分析大量人类文本,学会根据上下文预测文本中应该出现的下一个词。to put it simply是固定短语,意为“简单来说”,用于在解释或概括复杂问题时提供简明扼要的表达方式,句首单词的首字母需大写。故填To put。
6.考查宾语从句。句意:对大语言模型的一个常见批评是,它们并不理解自己写的内容;它们只是非常擅长猜测下一个词。空处引导名词性从句作understand的宾语,宾语从句缺少宾语,结合“they write”可知,宾语指物,因此用连接代词what作引导词。故填what。
7.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:当狄金森的一首私人诗歌让我们感觉诗人直接在对我们倾诉时,我们正在体验一种叫做“语言”的技术效果。空处作主句的谓语,结合“The moment”可知,应用现在进行时强调那一刻正在发生的体验,主语是we,be动词应用are。故填are experiencing。
8.考查代词。句意:而当ChatGPT将词语组合在一起时,它没有任何意图。空处作intends的宾语,结合前一句内容可知,此处与前文Dickinson的诗歌形成对比,表示AI“没有创作意图”,因此用不定代词nothing“没有什么”。故填nothing。
9.考查介词。句意:当我把ChatGPT创作的十四行诗展示给朋友们时,尽管它完全遵循了十四行诗的所有规则,他们仍称其为“空洞无物”。空后为动名词短语,空处应用介词,结合“they called it “soulless and barren””和“following all the rules for sonnets”可知,此处是让步关系,表示“尽管它完全遵循了十四行诗的所有规则”,因此用介词despite“尽管”。故填despite。
10.考查状语从句。句意:如果我们现在期望计算机不仅能写诗,还能写出好诗,那我们就设定了更高的标准。逗号前后均为完整的句子,前半句是后半句发生的条件,空处应用从属连词if引导条件状语从句,意为“如果……”,句首单词的首字母需大写。故填If。

(24-25高二上·上海浦东新·期中)A biography of Bill Gates: Dollar Bill
“Americans appear to be growing increasingly uneasy about billionaires,” observes Anupreeta Das, a journalist at the New York Times. With his long career and its many ups and downs, Mr. Gates is “the perfect prism (棱镜) through which to project tricky moral questions” in pursuit of a “collective rethink” about American values.
In the biography, Ms. Das goes from the founding of Microsoft in 1975 to its stock market flotation (上市)11 years later. By 1995 Mr. Gates was the youngest billionaire and the richest person in America but was facing a new problem: his company was so dominant that it attracted the attention of antitrust regulators. The heroic nerd had come to be seen as a villain (反派).
So, Mr. Gates reinvented himself as a philanthropist (慈善家), establishing the world’s largest charitable foundation with his then wife Melinda and promoting among other billionaires the Giving Pledge (a promise to donate most of one’s wealth to charitable causes). So successful was this reinvention that Mr. Gates was the most admired man in the world from 2014 to 2019, according toYouGov polls.
But then his scandals (丑闻)led to the collapse of his marriage. At the same time, the power of his foundation began to come under increasing inspection. The foundation pours billions into public-health initiatives, outspending many governments, and thus shapes health policy in many countries — yet it is accountable to nobody but the Gateses. During the covid-19 pandemic, Mr. Gates was also the subject of conspiracy theories (阴谋论) suggesting that he was profiting from vaccines and even injecting tiny microchips into people. The hero had once again become a villain.
But Ms. Das’s book is most interesting when it shows how Mr. Gates has influenced other billionaires, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, how they have followed his example, and how they have not.
The book shows Mr. Gates from many angles but provides few insights of him as a person. There is a Gates-shaped hole at the centre of the narrative; Ms. Das was not allowed to interview Mr. Gates. So what does she conclude about billionaires? They are, she suggests, lightning rods.(避雷针)for deeper concerns about inequality and privilege. But she holds back from making a strong argument about Mr. Gates. A book that promises to tackle billionaires’ place in society asks many questions, but also asks readers to make up their own minds.
1.What is the main purpose of Anupreeta Das’s biography of Bill Gates?
A.To document the personal life and career success of Bill Gates.
B.To celebrate Bill Gates’s achievements in the technology industry.

④He was accused of profiting from vaccines and even injecting tiny microchips into people during the covid-19 pandemic.
A.①②④ B.①③④ C.②③④ D.①②③④
3.Which of the following is most likely to be included in this book?
A.A specific description of Ms. Das’ interview with Bill Gates and the transcript of it.
B.Bill Gates’ personality, hobbies, and personal anecdotes in his early life at Microsoft.
C.The story that Mr. Zuckerberg faced his own crisis, and turned to Mr. Gates for advice.

【答案】1.D 2.B 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇传记评论文章。文章介绍了《Dollar Bill》这本传记如何描绘比尔·盖茨的职业生涯、他的转变、他面对的挑战以及他如何影响了其他亿万富翁。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“With his long career and its many ups and downs, Mr. Gates is ‘the perfect prism (棱镜) through which to project tricky moral questions’ in pursuit of a ‘collective rethink’ about American values.(盖茨先生漫长的职业生涯充满了起起落落,他是‘一个完美的棱镜’,通过这个棱镜可以投射出棘手的道德问题,从而促使人们对美国价值观进行‘集体反思’)”可知,Anupreeta Das写盖茨传记的主要目的是探索美国价值观的道德含义。故选D项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By 1995 Mr. Gates was the youngest billionaire and the richest person in America but was facing a new problem: his company was so dominant that it attracted the attention of antitrust regulators.(到1995年,盖茨先生成为美国最年轻、最富有的人,但他面临着一个新的问题:他的公司占据了主导地位,引起了反垄断监管机构的注意)”可知①句“Microsoft was so dominant as to attract the attention of antitrust regulators.(微软占据了主导地位,引起了反垄断监管机构的注意)”符合题意;根据第四段中的“The foundation pours billions into public-health initiatives, outspending many governments, and thus shapes health policy in many countries - yet it is accountable to nobody but the Gateses.(该基金会向公共卫生倡议投入数十亿美元,支出超过了许多政府,从而在许多国家形成了健康政策,但它只对盖茨夫妇负责)”可知③句“His investment in public-health initiatives exceeded many governments, thus shaping health policy accountable to only the Gateses.(他在公共卫生方面的投资超过了许多政府,从而形成了只对盖茨夫妇负责的健康政策)”符合题意;根据第四段中的“During the covid-19 pandemic, Mr. Gates was also the subject of conspiracy theories (阴谋论) suggesting that he was profiting from vaccines and even injecting tiny microchips into people.(在新冠肺炎疫情期间,盖茨先生也是阴谋论的主题,这些阴谋论称他从疫苗中获利,甚至向人们注射微小的微芯片)”可知④句“He was accused of profiting from vaccines and even injecting tiny microchips into people during the covid-19 pandemic.(他被指控在新冠肺炎疫情期间从疫苗中获利,甚至向人们注射微小的微芯片)”符合题意。而②句“He established the world’s largest charitable foundation and reinvented himself as a philanthropist.(他建立了世界上最大的慈善基金会,并将自己重塑为慈善家)”是盖茨的正面行为,不符合题意。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But Ms. Das’s book is most interesting when it shows how Mr. Gates has influenced other billionaires, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, how they have followed his example, and how they have not.(但当达斯女士的书展示了盖茨先生是如何影响其他亿万富翁的,比如马克·扎克伯格和杰夫·贝佐斯,他们是如何效仿他的,以及他们是如何没有效仿他的,这时她的书就最有趣了)”可知,这本书会讲述盖茨对其他亿万富翁的影响,包括扎克伯格。因此,扎克伯格面临自己的危机,向盖茨寻求建议的故事很可能被包括在这本书中。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“A book that promises to tackle billionaires’ place in society asks many questions, but also asks readers to make up their own minds.(一本承诺要探讨亿万富翁在社会中的地位的书提出了许多问题,但也要求读者自己做出判断)”可知,作者对盖茨和其他科技亿万富翁的态度是中立且信息丰富的。故选A项。
