ChatGPT became the hottest issue due to its ability to produce human-sounding essays,poetry,and
screenplays on virtually any subject in seconds.Soon after ChatGPT was released,the potential for it to be
misused to do things such as spread misinformation and write junk mails became apparent.Schools and
educators also have warned of the potential for students to use it to write essays or other work they have
been assigned.Last December.the software passed all three parts of the U.S.Medical Licensing
Examination as part of a research experiment.
So the startup,OpenAl behind the viral chatbot,revealed a tool for detecting text generated by artificial
intelligence amid growing concerns the technology will be abused by cheaters,junk mail senders and others.
OpenAI said that its so-called AI classifier()was designed to help people distinguish between text
written by a human versus a range of artificial intelligence programs-not just ChatGPT.
OpenAI said it had schools in mind when developing its latest classifier tool."We recognize that
identifying AI-written text has been an important point of discussion ainong educators,and equally
important is recognizing the limits and impacts of Al-generated text classifiers in the classroom,"it said.
The classifier isn't good enough on its own,though it can be used to go with methods that educators,
employers and others rely on to determine the source of a piece of text.In evaluations ()the new tool
correctly identified 26%of AI-written text as"likely Al-written",while it also had false positives 9%of the
time in which it incorrectly labeled human-written text as Al-written.Another problem is that the tool can't
easily tell if a list of facts-U.S.state capitals for example-was written by a person or Al,because the
correct answer would be the same.AI-written text can also be edited to escape the classifier.
"While it is impossible to reliably detect all Al-written text,classifiers like ours can be updated and
re-trained based on successful attacks,"OpenAI said."But it is unclear whether detection has an advantage

in the long-term."
28.ChatGPT's passing the U.S.Medical Licensing Exam is mentioned to
A.account for its operating principles
B.illustrate its complex structure
C.emphasize its growing popularity
D.warn against its potential danger
29.What's the function of AI classifier?
A.Deepening the impact of AI writers.
B.Identifying the texts generated by Al.
C.Promoting the use of Al in classroom discussion.
D.Arousing educators'awareness of AI-related technology.
30.What can be concluded from the evaluation of Al classifier?
A.It is a work-in-progress.
B.It is good at storing factual information.
C.It can help a journalist to edit a text.
D.It is a reliable educational tooL
31.What does OpenAI think of AI classifier?
A.It will be reliable after continuous self-update and retraining.
B.Whether it can help educators in the long-term is out of question.
C.Whether it can solve the problems as intended remains a question.
D.It will succeed in detecting all human-written texts in the near future.

Everyone knows what makes a good story.Our hero starts their journey as a flawed being.In scene after
scene,they face challenges that push them down new paths.By the end of the tale,they overcome setbacks
and become a better person in the process.
We love these plots in the novels we read but the principles of a good story offer much more than
entertainment.Recent research shows that the narratives (we tell ourselves about our lives can
powerfully help us recover from stress.People who generate tales of struggling and tuming over a new leaf
from their own lives appear to have much better mental health.Professor Dan McAdams put forward this
idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control over events in their past is
an important predictor of mental health.Another key theme involved is finding some kind of positive
meaning after stressful events.
McAdams invited 14 and 15-year-olds to join in an experiment to write about their experences of
failure and success.Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the ways they had made their
success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the better.Eight weeks later,members of this
group reported greater persistence and better grades in their schoolwork.
Exciting as these results are,some experts sound a few notes of caution.They worry that,hearing about
第6页共0页
the power of self-narratives.many people may feel they have to find a positive tuming point in life.If they
can't,they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow "failed"
Clearly,self-parratives aren't the panacea.Nevertheless,if you hope for self-improvement,you can use
the findings to good effect.By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the center of our own struggles,we can
all become the author of our own destiny (and change ourselves for the better.
32.What does the research focus on?
A.The causes of stress.
B.The principles of narrative.
C.The connection between struggle and well-being.
D.The link between mental health and
self-narratives.
33.Why is the experiment mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.To give proof.
B.To make predictions.
C.To draw a conclusion.
D.To make comparisons.
34.What does the underlined word"panacea"in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Attempt to get rid of worries.
B.Means of recognizing yourself.
C.Solution to adolescent problems.
D.Guarantee to become better-people.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Embrace Life Struggles
B.Be Your Own Hero
C.Ways to Make a Good Story
D.The Power of Self-improvement

STEM vs.STEAM
STEM is short for Science,Technology,Engineering and Mathematics.The term was coined by Judith
Ramaley while a director at National Science Foundation in 2001.Since then,STEM-focused education has
been extended to many countries beyond the United States.However,education is a constantly evolving
)game.36One of the latest philosophies gaining steam is adding an arts component to the
STEM educational focus,thus,creating the STEM vs.STEAM debate.
The believers in STEM education want the focus to remain on the core STEM principles.37
Tasks involving product design encourage students to draw and create.Adding arts will take away from the
original intention of focusing on the STEM disciplines.
38They argue that adding arts to STEM is a way to develop strong STEM students who think
creatively.Several studies have shown that engaging students'arts strength increases their motivation when
it comes to STEM activities.39 Furthermore,for kids who might be turned off from STEM
subjects due to a dislike of numbers,highlighting the artistic component of lessons can reach out and draw
them in.
第7页/共10页
While they seem to be opposed,both sides of this argument may have the right idea.40
Consider the growing field of computer animation ()where you must have both artistic abilities and
strong technology fields.Also,the most basic of all children's toys,wooden blocks,are an incredible
example of STEAM exploration.They bring design,geometry,and engineering concepts to our youngest
learners,settng them up for a lifetime of creative thinking.
A.The STEAMers disagree.
B.Actually,science and arts are inseparable.
C.It consistently(不断t地)introduces new theories and practices.
D.Their idea is that there are already enough arts in their approach.
E.Thus,good teachers are always leaming to keep pace with updated knowledge.
F.It also improves the probability of success in complicated tasks and challenges.
G.They believe adding art makes the STEM courses accessible to more students.
