Instead, he suggests that leaders should 5 new ideas to make streets safer, like adding traffic lights to sidewalks.

(选择最恰当的单词或短语完成短文) A Helping Hand Easton LaChappelle was just 14 years old when he first showed a robotic arm at a science fair. Unlike other complex devices, it was a 1 project made of plastic blocks and fishing line, but it caught the attention of a girl with a very special story. The girl, Jenny, was born without an arm. Her current artificial arm was just a basic hook (挂钩), which cost an unbelievable 80,000 dollars. Worse still, children like her grow fast, so they need to 2 their prosthetic arms often. “It was expensive and not user-friendly,” Easton thought 3 he shook hands with her. “I built mine for only 300 dollars. I can do something for them—I have to make greater progress!” Back at home, Easton turned his room into a laboratory. Day and night, he 4 making his designs better. For his 16th birthday, he got a 3D printer, which allowed him to create parts more easily. With it, he invented a new arm that could be controlled by the user’s brain signals. However, the arm had a big problem: it weighed 3.6 kilograms, which was too heavy for a child to use comfortably. Easton didn’t give up. He kept solving one problem after another. 5 at the age of 23, he succeeded. His new design was light—only 0.5 kilograms—and much cheaper, costing around $500. But Easton didn’t want to make money from his invention. “I just wanted to help,” he said. So he posted the design online 6 . Now, anyone with a 3D printer can download the design and make an artificial arm for those in need. Easton’s story is truly a “helping hand”—not just for Jenny, but for more children around the world. 1. A. clear B. simple C. private D. recent 2. A. touch B. press C. change D. shake 3.

I couldn’t see the reef. 1 , I depended on its small sound to guide me home. Unfortunately, the ocean isn’t as peaceful as it used to be. Humans, with their ships, speedboats, and surfing, have made it a noisy place. Their noises are often louder than the 2 ones, which makes it difficult for us to find our way back.

Some of the most surprising information about AI chatbots can help us understand how they work. Here are two key things you should know: 1. They are trained by human responses AI chatbots all need different training steps, beginning with pre-training. This allows them to 2 a general understanding of language. If asked: “How to cheat others?" in the pre-training phase, an AI might give you detailed steps. While as cheating others are not 3 , human trainers can help guide AI to proper responses.

I’m sure you can find your best way to solve it.” 2. Their knowledge should be 6 every day AI chatbots can’t update their own knowledge, so they may be confused with recent events, new technology or anything after their knowledge cut-off. A knowledge cut-off refers to the last point in time when an AI chatbot’s training data was updated, meaning it doesn’t have awareness of events 7 that date. Upgrading AI chatbots costs a lot and is very important. But how to update their knowledge well is still a problem that scientists haven’t solved yet.

The story of penicillin (青霉素) is one such example. This life-saving 1 was discovered through a lucky accident by a scientist named Alexander Fleming.

Before leaving for a vacation, he left some polluted dishes with bacteria in his lab by chance. When he returned, he noticed something 3 . A blue-green mold (青绿霉菌) had grown on one dish, and around it was a clear circle where all the bacteria had died. Instead of throwing away the polluted dish, Fleming became very 4 . He thought the blue-green mold might produce something that could kill bacteria. He decided to test this idea by doing more experiments.

What made penicillin so special was that it could kill bacteria without harming human cells. This meant it could be used safely to treat sick people. Fleming’s discovery opened a new chapter in medicine-the age of antibiotics (抗生素). It completely changed how doctors treat bacteria and has 6 countless lives around the world.

Sometimes, nature can cause deserts to 2 . Wind can move sand away from deserts and onto useful land. When there is no rain for a long time, plants die and deserts grow. However, humans can also cause deserts to grow. This is called desertification, and it happens in many ways. One way is when people cause too much air pollution, which can make an area hotter. Hotter weather can reduce the amount of rain as well. Too many people in one area can also damage the land. In addition, having many animals can harm the land. 3 large animals like cows walk on soil too much, they turn it into dust. The wind easily blows this dust away. Trees help hold water in the ground. When people cut down too many trees, less water stays in the ground, and the soil is ruined. All of these things can speed up desertification. To stop deserts from growing, people must think of ways to treat the land better. 4 , it is essential to take immediate action, such as reducing pollution and planting more trees. This would be a great step forward in protecting the land and the animals that depend on it. 1. A. crazy B. thirsty C. hungry D. large 2. A. spread B. raise C. pour D. come 3. A. When B. Before C.

He found one that was very well-written, but he felt something was wrong. Later, he asked the student if he wrote the essay himself. The student said no and admitted (承认) using ChatGPT. This is a smart chatbot that can answer questions and write articles. Since its release in November, 2022, ChatGPT has become very popular. Many students are using it to do their homework. Now, professors around the world are changing their courses because of this. Some have 1 to use more oral exams (口试) and handwritten papers. Simple tasks like “write five pages about this topic” are becoming less common. Instead, teachers are creating special questions they hope are too difficult for chatbots. Some are even asking students to write about their own lives. Schools believe they should guide students on how to use AI tools properly rather than 2 them from using these tools. This means teaching students to mix technology with their own thinking. After all, if students want to use ChatGPT, they will find ways to do so. 3 , chatbots probably won’t be the last new technology we see. Instead of avoiding them, both students and teachers should learn to use them correctly. For example, one university in New York has started teaching students about AI tools in class. They use it to teach about honesty and help students understand both the good and bad points of chatbots. Some students are already learning to work with AI tools. One student at the University of Pennsylvania uses ChatGPT to 4 get many ideas for her papers. Then she carefully thinks about these ideas and decides what to include in her work. She always writes her papers herself. “AI tools help me save time,” she said, “but I won’t let them do 5 for me.” As for old homework like “write five pages” such tasks will likely 6 as teachers create more assignments (作业) that chatbots can’t handle. 1.

When she finishes her paper, she hands in her paper to her teacher who will later use another AI model to 2 the paper. Then based on the test result, a new learning plan will be made for the girl. This is personalized education at its best. Could this be the future of AI in education? Certainly! With the development of high technology, the realization of an AI classroom will come earlier than we 3 . Here comes the question: How does AI help students learn better? In a classroom with AI technology, both the learning plans and the tests are personalized, and this allows students to learn at their own speed and in their own way. During the learning process, AI models keep monitoring students’ facial expressions to 4 discover when students get into trouble. More amazingly, AI can even predict signs of trouble before students themselves are 5 it. This early prediction enables AI to offer timely (及时的) solutions to problems and suggestions about a better learning plan. 6 , AI technology has made it possible to develop special programs for those who struggle with learning. A company in Massachusetts used AI technology and created a well-known software—Dragon Speech Recognition. With the 7 of voice recognition, students can complete tasks just by speaking. This may be a great helper to those who have difficulty in writing. The role of AI in education may become more and more important. Perhaps, we will see an AI classroom in the near future.

These two labels come from the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. The test produces a four-letter result. The last letter is either ‘P’ for ‘Perceiving’ (感知) or ‘J’ for ‘Judging’ (判断). It sorts people into two camps 1 how they prefer to organize their outside world. Many friends describe me as a classic ‘Judging’ type. I am, after all, keen on making plans.

Halfway through the journey, they got thirsty and hungry and had to rely on me for food and water. “Thanks, mate, you’re a life saver,” one of them said between bites of my mini-bread. Working and traveling with people of different personality types can be difficult at times. However, I have to admit that those with a ‘P’ on their MBTI test are not without advantages. They are often more creative and resourceful (善于随机应变的). While I would often get 5 when things don’t go according to plan, these people are usually cool as cucumbers (冷静自若).

They first had participants read sad stories to cause negative emotions and found that this emotional state 2 their likelihood of procrastinating before an intelligence test. Further research has also highlighted the 3 of procrastination. A study has shown that putting things off regularly can affect mental and physical health because of growing guilt and frustration from avoiding important work. Studies also show that long-term procrastination leads to higher levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙), which make the immune system weaker. 4 , it raises the chance of unhealthy habits: skipping exercise because you “don’t have time” after procrastinating, or eating junk food to deal with stress. In the long run, these habits can result in serious health problems like sleep disorders. All of this means that overcoming procrastination can bring positive changes to life. Pychyl advises: “Next time when you feel like procrastinating, try focusing on a simple question —‘If I start acting now, what’s the next 5 a small, doable move I would take?’ Doing this takes your mind off your feelings and onto something you can do right now.

When people cannot grow food or find animals to eat, they have to leave their homes. Research has shown that the spread of deserts can lead to 1 populations, as water sources become scarce (缺乏的). Sometimes, nature can cause deserts to 2 . Wind can move sand away from deserts and onto useful land. When there is no rain for a long time, plants die and deserts grow. However, humans can also cause deserts to grow. This is called desertification, and it happens in many ways. One way is when people cause too much air pollution, which can make an area hotter.

He found one that was very well-written, but he felt something was wrong. Later, he asked the student if he wrote the essay himself. The student said no and admitted (承认) using ChatGPT. This is a smart chatbot that can answer questions and write articles. Since its release in November, 2022, ChatGPT has become very popular. Many students are using it to do their homework. Now, professors around the world are changing their courses because of this. Some have 1 to use more oral exams (口试) and handwritten papers. Simple tasks like “write five pages about this topic” are becoming less common. Instead, teachers are creating special questions they hope are too difficult for chatbots. Some are even asking students to write about their own lives. Schools believe they should guide students on how to use AI tools properly rather than 2 them from using these tools. This means teaching students to mix technology with their own thinking. After all, if students want to use ChatGPT, they will find ways to do so. 3 , chatbots probably won’t be the last new technology we see. Instead of avoiding them, both students and teachers should learn to use them correctly. For example, one university in New York has started teaching students about AI tools in class. They use it to teach about honesty and help students understand both the good and bad points of chatbots. Some students are already learning to work with AI tools. One student at the University of Pennsylvania uses ChatGPT to 4 get many ideas for her papers. Then she carefully thinks about these ideas and decides what to include in her work. She always writes her papers herself. “AI tools help me save time,” she said, “but I won’t let them do 5 for me.” As for old homework like “write five pages” such tasks will likely 6 as teachers create more assignments (作业) that chatbots can’t handle. 1.

Some people love it, but others 1 . The NSPCC, a charity that protects kids, says the government should do more to keep children safe from AI. Kids using AI might see things that make them sad or use it to be mean to others. A UK survey shows 78% of people think there should be safety checks on AI software. Should kids be allowed to use AI? Let’s look at two views. Some people say children need to learn about AI because it is 2 technology. When they’re older, they’ll have to use AI, so they should understand how it works now. At school, pupils learn other software in ICT lessons, so they should learn AI too. If children can use AI, they can try it for schoolwork. The AI might give them ideas for homework or projects. 3 , it can help them learn more efficiently and improve their creativity. Also, AI isn’t just for school or work. A 2024 report says 63% of teenagers use AI tools “for fun”. Other people say AI is still new and changes a lot. It’s better to 4 now. This way, adults can have time to make sure it’s safe, and the government can have time to make stricter (更严格的) rules. Also, AI can show kids things that upset them. The software isn’t perfect and can give wrong information. A study last year by Purdue University in the US found that ChatGPT gave wrong answers to computer programming questions 52% of the time. There are good points on both sides. 5 both matter, so it’s not easy to say if children should use AI. 1. A. like B. know C. use D. worry 2. A. traditional B. unfamiliar C. important D. energy-saving 3. A. However B. Therefore C. In fact D.
