Ⅱ. 阅读理解。 A[2025邢台质检联盟期中] Researchers have found evidence that artificial intelligence models would rather lie than admit the shame of not knowing something. A new study published in Nature found that the bigger LLMs(大型语言模型) get, the less reliable they become for specific tasks. They tend to reply with confidence even if the answer is not factually correct, because they are trained to believe it is. “LLMs are going far beyond their knowledge base to provide responses，” the study noted. Researchers found that this phenomenon is not because bigger LLMs are not capable of handling simple tasks, but instead they are trained to be more skilled at complex tasks. It's like a person who's used to eating only fancy meals suddenly struggling to make a home barbecue or a traditional cake. AI models trained on vast, complex data sets are more likely to miss fundamental skills. The issue is worsened by the models' apparent confidence. Users often find it challenging to tell when AI is providing accurate information and when it's confidently giving misinformation. This overconfidence can lead to dangerous overreliance on AI outputs, particularly in critical fields like health care or legal advice. According to the study, techniques like reinforcement learning with human feedback(RLHF), intended to shape AI behavior, may actually be adding to the problem. These approaches appear to be reducing the models' tendency to avoid tasks they're not equipped to handle—remember the infamous “as an AI Language Model, I cannot”？—unintentionally encouraging more frequent errors. Human oversight, long considered a safeguard against AI mistakes, may not be sufficient to address these issues. The study found that users often struggle to correct incorrect model outputs, even in relatively simple fields, so relying on human judgment may not be the ultimate solution for proper model training. The study's findings call into question the current tendency of AI development. While the push for larger, more capable models continues, this research suggests that bigger isn't always better when it comes to AI reliability. (　　) 1. How may LLMs react when not knowing something? A. They admit their ignorance. B. They refuse to give answers. C. They turn to experts for assistance. D. They reply confidently but offer false answers. (　　) 2. What has led to AI telling lies according to the study? A. Mistakes in data analysis. B. Inability to handle specific tasks. C. Unawareness of its own ignorance. D. Lack of proper human monitoring. (　　) 3. What is the function of the example mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To prove LLMs are similar to humans. B. To show the limitations of AI training methods. C. To demonstrate LLMs are poor at simple tasks. D. To imply LLMs should be applied to complex tasks. (　　) 4. What's the author's attitude toward where AI is heading? A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. B An open letter, attracting signatures from the likes of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple co­founder Steve Wozniak, was released early last week. It advocates a 6­month stop to give Artificial Intelligence(AI) companies and regulators time to make safeguards to protect society from potential risks of the technology. AI has progressed at an alarming speed since the launch of ChatGPT, from the Microsoft­backed company OpenAI. ChatGPT reportedly reached more than 100 million users by January, 2023, and major tech companies are racing to build generative AI into their products, which have caught many off guard. “I think many people aren't well prepared for the pace and scale of these AI models. They are ideal for spreading misinformation, cheating people out of their money and convincing employees to click on dangerous links in emails，” says Michael Osborne, a machine learning researcher of AI company Mind Foundry, who signed the letter. “I feel that a 6­month pause would give regulators enough time to catch up with the rapid pace of advances.” Privacy is another emerging concern, as critics worry that systems could exactly reproduce personal information from their training sets. Italy's data protection authority prohibited ChatGPT over concerns that Italians' personal data are being used to train OpenAI's models. Some technologists warn of deeper security threats. Planned ChatGPT­based digital assistants that can read and write emails could offer new opportunities for hackers. Unfortunately, many problems of today's AI models don't have easy solutions. One tricky issue is how to make AI­generated content easy to detect. Some researchers are working on “watermarking”—creating a digital signature in the AI's output. However, recent research finds that tools which slightly change AI­produced text can easily defeat this approach. Microsoft co­founder Bill Gates tells Reuters the proposed pause won't “solve the challenges” ahead. He notes the people behind the letter are heavily involved in the tech world, which he thinks gives them a narrow perspective on the potential risks. (　　) 5. What is the main purpose of the open letter? A. To raise awareness about the potential risks of AI technology. B. To call for a temporary pause in AI development. C. To advocate for stricter regulations on AI companies. D. To gather support from influential figures in the tech industry. (　　) 6. What's the impact of AI on many people, as mentioned in the second paragraph? A. It has come as a shock to many people. B. It has led to increased collaboration among tech companies. C. It has resulted in widespread acceptance of AI technology. D. It has sparked concerns about privacy protection. (　　) 7. What does the author aim to show by mentioning “watermarking” in Paragraph 5? A. It is hard to sign digitally. B. It is easy to detect AI's output. C. It is wise to leave a watermarking. D. It is tough to settle AI problems. (　　) 8. What is Bill Gates' opinion regarding the proposed pause in AI development? A. He believes it will effectively address the challenges ahead. B. He thinks the people behind the letter have fully understood the potential risks. C. He supports the call for stricter regulations on AI companies. D. He casts doubts on the effectiveness of the pause. Ⅲ. 语法填空。[2025无锡期中] On August 20, a major event in the Chinese gaming world caught the attention of players globally.
