Researchers first used ChatGPT to edit large amounts of text like emails and articles using instructions such as"polish"or"improve clarity."They identified words ChatGPT added frequently,like"delve,"labeling these GPT words.Next,the team analyzed over 360,000 YouTube videos and 770,000 podcast (episodes from before and after ChatGPT's release to track the use of GPT words over time.They compared the GPT words with“synthetic controls(合成对照组)，”which were formed by mathematically weighting synonyms (that weren't frequently used by the chatbot-such synonyms for“delve,”for example,could include“examine'”and“explore.” The team's results show a significant rise in GPT words in the 18 months after ChatGPT's release.The words didn't just appear in formal,scripted videos or podcast episodes;they were peppered into natural conversation,too."The patterns stored in AI technology seem to be sending back to the human mind,"notes co-author Levin Brinkmann,describing a cultural feedback cycle:humans train AI on text,AI returns statistically remixed versions,and then people unconsciously adopt its patterns."It's natural for humans to imitate one another,but we're more likely to copy what someone else is doing if we perceive them as being knowledgeable or important,"Brinkmann says. As more people look to al as a cultural authority,they may rely on and imitate it over other sources,resulting in a likeness of language styles and expressions. Tracking LLMs'cultural impact is critical,according to the University of Chicago expert James Evans."In this moment in the evolution (of LLMs,looking at word distribution()is the right method to understand how the technology is affecting the way we communicate,"he says,"But as the models mature,these distributions are going to be harder to distinguish."Scientists may need to look at broader linguistic trends beyond word choice,such as sentence structure and how ideas are presented. 28.What made Yakura begin the new research? A.Desire to explore potentials of LLMs. B.Changes in personal vocabulary choices C.Previous research on written communication. D.Dissatisfaction over poor performance of ChatGPT. 29.Why were the GPT words tracked in the research? A.To show how diverse they are. B.To measure their influence on language. C.To check if they work in various contexts D.To compare them with human word choices. 30.Brinkmann mentions the trend of the cultural feedback cycle to illustrate A.it provides a different approach to learning B.it results in misjudgment of cultural authorities 高二英语期中试卷第5页，共10页 C.it is a natural part of technological development D.it carries a hidden risk to the richness of language 31.What is suggested in the last paragraph? A.A remarkable increase in sample size. B.A probable shift in the future research focus C.A timely application of the research findings. D.A comprehensive evaluation of the current research 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Festive Fitness The holidays are always the most stressful part of my year.No matter how much I plan,my usual workout routine disappears in the chaos.But I'm determined to change that this time.32 With it in mind,I'm going to get creative to keep it up. Staying fit doesn't require long hours.To be efficient,I focus on high-intensity interval training(高强度间歇训练).Research shows it's one of the most effective methods.It involves short bursts of maximum effort followed by a brief rest.A classic study found that just 4 minutes of this pattern,done regularly,improved fitness more than an hour of moderate exercise.33 Even minutes of intensive activity count.34 For example,a recent study linked 3.5 minutes of daily intensive activity to a lower heart disease risk in women. Another analysis found such bursts cut the risk of heart attack and stroke by 20%for everyone. 35 I think of them as"exercise snacks."Chasing a bus,carrying heavy groceries,or sprinting through an airport all qualify.Even taking the stairs quickly helps -a study showed that intensively climbing stairs several times a week can boost cardiovascular(心血管的)fitness by5%in just weeks. Don't underestimate the power of walking.While 10,000 steps is a common goal, a new study found that 7,000 steps daily is enough to significantly lower the risk of heart disease,diabetes,and other conditions.36 Going for long walks with family becomes a perfect way to stay active and reconnect during the holidays. A.So we can achieve a lot in very little time. B.This makes walking a more practical activity. C.These short bursts of intensive activity happen naturally. D.Moderate exercise like walking is also valuable for health. E.Consistency is key to fitness,and that requires adaptability. F.In fact,these micro-workouts offer significant health benefits. G.Taking a traditional approach to exercise ensures steady progress. 高二英语期中试卷第6页，共10页 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第-节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项。 Years ago as a college freshman,I was sitting in the library on a beautiful37 day,bored,working on a history paper.38,off the page came dancing a quote by Gandhi,n the midst of death,life persists(持续存在).” After those words were read again a dozen times,suddenly I was no longer 39.Outside in the sunshine,I 40 my shoes and danced in my bare feet across a spring-green lawn.

Sitting on the library steps outside,Nate was lost in thought.He had always loved art.He could never have too many sketchpads(素描本)and crayons.“I have to enter this contest!"he said to himself. But something troubled him.Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place."There's nothing special about it-only ordinary farms,animals, and trees!"he frowned."What will I draw?" Just then,Briana Williams,a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston,a large modern city in Texas,walked out.Spotting Nate,she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer."A drawing contest?That sounds fun!" "Not really,"Nate sighed."Trust me,this town is a big bore." Briana looked surprised."Well,everything here may seem boring to you,but to me, it's all new!I'd love to see more of it.Show me around sometime.And bring your sketchpad-you might find something worth drawing." 高二英语期中试卷第9页，共10页 The next Saturday,they wandered down a quiet lane together.Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe.Nate paused beside her.At first,it felt strange to admire a tree he'd passed a hundred times.But as he followed her gaze,the sun was shining through the branches,turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold. "There's nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,"Briana said softly. Nate felt something clicked in his mind.Highland wasn't a big bore-he was just too used to it.He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1:Inspired,Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa's farm.
