    Dunhuang, an oasis of culture surrounded by the vast sands of the Gobi Desert, served as a shelter for ancient weary Silk Road travelers 1,000 years ago. Carved into the cliffs high above the Dachuan River, the Mogao Grottoes in Gansu Province consist of the largest, richest and longest-used treasure house of traditional art in the world, inspiring young artists to this very day.

    Inside the grottoes, murals(壁画) painted with minerals have stood the test of time, stills hining bright and brilliant. To carry forward this painting technique, Lian Yang, an artist in her30s, decided to make the traditional art increasingly known among younger generations. She once worked only on ink and digital painting, but soon felt creatively stuck. Then she learned about mineral color painting and made it the focus of her career.

    The traditional Chinese painting technique was commonly used before the Tang Dynasty. However, the skill gradually faded from the central Chinese artistic landscape after the Song Dynasty when literati(文人) ink painting grew.

    "I want to pour more of my own ideas into creations and find an artistic expression that cannot be easily replaced with modern technologies, although the costs of handmade art are higher and it requires more time than digital creation," Lian Yang said.

    As a modern artist, Lian Yang does not limit herself by strictly following tradition. She has cooperated with the operator of mobile game King of Glory, creating works in Dunhuang fresco style. She also frequently posts short videos covering the creative process of mineral color artworks across different Chinese social media, attracting many young people.

    Riding the China Chic tide, a term referring to the rise of China's native fashion trends, traditional art needs commercialization to further develop. Lian Yang hopes mineral art can be integrated into movies, online games and even the metaverse, an integrated network of 3Dvirtual worlds.

    Within weeks of its launch, ChatGPT started a new global race in artificial intelligence (AI).The chatbot is a part of a fresh wave of generative AI—complicated systems that produce content from text to images-that is set to have a great impact on Big Tech, industries and the future of work in a decade.

    As an artificial-intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI, an AI research company, ChatGPT was released in November 2022 which can have conversations, generate poetry, and suggest edits to computer programming code. The second half of its namo, GPT, stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. Transformers are specialized algorithms(算法), learning to predict not just the next word in a sentence but also the next sentence in a paragraph and the next paragraph in an essay. This is what allows it to stay on topic for long stretches of text.

    ChatGPT is trained on a vast number of articles, websites and social-media posts from the Internet as well as real-time conversations with people. It learns to mimic the grammar and structure of the writing and reflects frequently-used phrases. But it isn't always accurate: its sources aren't fact-checked, and it relies on human feedback to improve its accuracy.

    OpenAI developed ChatGPT as part of a strategy to build Ai software that will help the company turn a profit. In January, Microsoft, its strategic partner, announced a fresh multibillion-dollar investment in OpenAI and said it plans to integrate ChatGPT into its Bing search app and other products. Google and Baidu are also pushing to launch similar tools.

    ChatGPT has reached 100 million users just two months after launch. Despite its sudden burst in popularity, the technology currently has serious limitations and potential risks that include giving misinformation and breaking laws on intellectual property(知识产权).

8、What is ChatGPT able to do?

A. Produce texts.  B. Create pictures.

C. Develop robots.  D. Perform operations.

9、What does the underlined word "mimic" in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Define. B. Introduce.  C.Copy. D. Ignore.

10、What is OpenAI's main purpose of developing ChatGPT?

A. To build company image. B. To improve work efficiency.

C.To offer translation service. D.To make more moncy.

11、Which statement might the author agree with?

A. AI will dominate human life.

B. ChatGPT should be used properly.

C. Al is unlikely to pose risks to people.

D. ChatGPT should be extended to every field.

    Dogs can understand when humans mean well, even if they don't get what they want from us. Now, the close social bond between humans and dogs is well established, but researchers have a limited understanding of whether and how dogs comprehend human intent. To see if pet dogs can distinguish between intentional and accidental actions by strangers, Christoph Völter at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna in Austria and his colleagues ran tests with humans offering dogs food while the animals' body movements were tracked using eight cameras.

    Each dog and human were separated by a transparent plastic panel with holes that a slice of sausage could be passed through. In 96 trials of 48 pet dogs, human participants either teased the dog by holding up and pulling back a treat, or they pretended to clumsily drop the piece of sausage on their own side of the panel before the dog could eat it. In all trials, the dogs had to wait 30 seconds before finally getting their reward, during which the team tracked their reaction.

    The research found that when humans pretended to drop a treat compared with when they intentionally pulled it away, the dogs responded more patiently: they made more eye contact with the experimenter, wagged their tails more and stayed closer to the transparent barrier, suggesting they were still expecting a treat. Dogs that were teased sat, laid down and backed away the barrier more frequently. The results were similar across different dogs, ages and sex.

    In the clumsy trial, the dogs also wagged their tails more on their right side, a behavior known to be associated with dogs that arc happy and relaxed. "They have more positive emotions towards the clumsy experimenter, which might indicate that they indeed understand that the experimenter is willing, but just too clumsy, to give them food," says Völter.

12、What was Völtcr's research intended for?

A. Clarifying how humans bond with dogs.

B. Training dogs to adapt to new surroundings.

C. Understanding dogs' sensitivity towards food.

D. Detecting if dogs understand human intention.

13、What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. Research findings. B.Research method.

C. Research background. D. Research data.

14、How did the dogs react when sausages were pulled away on purpose?

A. They moved away more often. B.They barked more loudly.

C.They bit sausages more fiercely. D.They waited more patiently.

15、What is the text?

A. A diary entry.  B. A course plan.

C. A science report.  D. A tour brochure.
