In winter, intense cold in China's Jilin Province can turn tripping water into ice within seconds. Yet, 63-year-old Ren Jianguo gets up early every day to spread corm on the riverbank to make sure thousands of migratory birds(候鸟) have food to go through the cold days.

Ren lives in Jilin City which is built on the banks of the Songhuajiang River. Over the past 26 years, he has been one of the many volunteers protecting migratory birds on the river's Changbai Island. Local residents label him as “Uncle Bird”. Winter is the busiest time for Uncle Bird as it is the season when large amounts of migratory birds fly here to avoid the biting cold days in Siberia, Russia.

On the upper reaches of the Songhuajiang River is Northeast China's largest artificial lake. The temperature of the water stays at around 4-10℃ all year round. This allows Changhai Island to welcome countless migratory birds.

“As long as they choose to stay in this city, there should be people to take care of them. When it becomes difficult to find food in winter, I call for donations or sometimes pay for the food myself to secure their survival during the winter,” Ren said.

Jilin City, which is part of the migratory passage of birds in East Asia, is one of the few warm wetlands in northern China suitable for migratory birds to rest. To improve the environment here, the Chinese government has invested about 26.6 billion yuan for water pollution control and prevention along the Songhuajiang River since 2006.

For Ren, a small house near the riverbank has almost become his “second home”, a place from which he can patrol(巡逻) along the banks, observe birds, educate the public about bird conservation and, after a long day of work, light a fire and enjoy a warm meal.

“I simply want this to be a warm and welcoming place for birds when they choose to stay here for a temporary rest,” he said.

24. What is the best title of this passage?

A. The Tale of “Uncle Bird”

B. The Environment of Changbai Island.

C. The Survival of Birds.

D. The Protection of Wetlands.

25. Why does Ren Jianguo volunteer to protect migratory birds?

A. To keep himself from being bored.

B. To keep the birds from flying away.

C. To keep the birds from going hungry.

D. To keep the environment from being polluted.

26. Why do the birds come to Changbai Island in the winter?

A. To eat high-quality corns.

B. To see kind-hearted volunteers.

C. For a cleaner environment.

D. For a better temperature.

27. Which of the following best describes Ren Jianguo's work?

A. Boring.  B. Professional.

C. Dangerous.  D. Meaningful.

D

While ChatGPT successfully answered a variety of questions raised by testers, some responses were noticeably off. In fact, Stack Overflow — a Q&A website for coders and programmers — didn't allow users to share information from ChatGPT, saying that it's “harmful to the site and to users who are asking or looking for correct answers.”

Beyond the issue of spreading incorrect information, the tool could also be used to explain problematic thoughts, and as with all AI tools, spread biases(偏见) based on the pool of data on which it's trained. Typing something involving a CEO, for example, could prompt(激起) a response assuming that the individual is white and male, for example.

“While we've made efforts to make the model refuse unsuitable requests, it will sometimes respond to harmful instructions or exhibit biased behavior,” OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, said on its website. “We're using the Moderation API to warn or stop certain types of unsafe content, but it still has some false negatives and positives for now. We're eager to collect user feedback(反馈) to aid our ongoing work to improve this system.”

Still, Lian Jye Su, a research director at market research company ABI Research, warns the chatbot is operating “without understanding the context of the language.”

“It is very easy for ChatGPT to give plausible-sounding(听起来合理) but incorrect or senseless answers,” he said. “It guessed when it was supposed to explain and sometimes responded to harmful instructions or exhibited biased behavior. It also lacks regional and country-specific understanding.”

While ChatGPT is free, it does put a limit on the number of questions a user can raise before having to pay. When Elon Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, recently asked Altman on Twitter about the average cost per ChatGPT chat, Altman said: “We will have to monetize(货币化) it somehow at some point; the compute costs are eye-watering.”

28. Why does the author mention Stack Overflow ?

A. To show how narrow-minded it is.

B. To illustrate the negative influence of ChatGPT.

C. To reveal the competition it has with ChatGPT.

D. To indicate ChatGPT's strong ability in problem solving.

29. What is the 3 paragraph mainly about?

A. The efforts OpenAI make for improvement.

B. The reason for the use of Moderation API.

C. The problem OpenAI is now facing.

D. The success in solving OpenAI's problem.

30. Why does ChatGPT have problems?

A. It does not understand human language.

B. It mainly works through guessing.

C. It cannot respond properly based on contexts.

D. It holds bias on some specific regions.

31. What does the word “eye-watering” in the last paragraph most probably mean?

A. extremely high   B. very harmful

C. quite necessary   D. too average

D

In the last decade, scientists have been going back and forth on one question: does recycling really help the environment? The conclusion at which they have arrived seems to be: yes, it does. However, experts warn that our efforts should not stop there. While recycling is an important part of the solution, it is not necessarily the most important factor. Therefore, I disagree that recycling is the key to a sustainable(可持续的) future.

Compared to other methods to save the earth, recycling is a much smaller player. According to a recent study, the twenty top petrochemical(石化) companies in the world are responsible for 55% of the world's single-use plastics, most of which are practically impossible to reycle. This means that asking these major polluters to take responsibility for their harm to the environment would do much more than if every one of us recycled our waste. In addition, a dependence on recycling can take attention away from reducing and reusing, which are more effective in lowering missions(排放) and in turn helping to create a sustainable future. Therefore, it would do us a lot of good if we focus on thee other high-priority solutions rather than simply recycling.

Recycling supporters may argue that recycling is indeed the key to a sustainable future because it helps save a lot of energy by taking what already exists and changing it into something new. While it is true that recycling is a valuable tool in the fight against climate change, it is not the key. Regrettably, it alone is not sufficient to sustain our earth. So, while we should continue recycling, we need to go further by taking other actions for our planet.

In conclusion, I disagree that recycling is the key to a sustainable future. Having said that, recycling is still beneficial. It is but a small part of an interconnected web of solutions, which on its own cannot accomplish much, but together with other efforts, can truly create a sustainable future for us all.

32. Why does the author write this article?

A. To raise a question.   B. To explain a rule.

C. To present a solution.   D. To express an idea.

33. Which of the following belongs to “other actions” in the Paragraph 3?

A. Stopping using plastics.

B. Using fewer high-emission cars.

C. Individuals recycling their waste.

D. Changing used things into something new.

34. Why is recycling not that important according to the author?

A. It does not help with protecting the environment.

B. It stops major polluters from taking responsibility.

C. It can only save 45% of the energy people need.

D. It plays a small and limited part in sustaining the earth.

35. What is the key to a sustainable future according to the author?

A. Reducing and reusing of single-use plastics.

B. Asking petrochemical companies to be responsible.

C. Combined efforts of all the solutions.

D. More and more people joining in recycling.
