Four months ago, OpenAI, a small San Francisco company, became the talk of thetechnology industry when it introduced a new online chatbot that could answer complexquestions, write poetry and copy human emotions. Now the company is back with a newversion(型号)of the technology,called GPT-4.
GPT-4, which learns its skills by analyzing large data from the Internet, improves on whatpowered the original ChatGPT in several ways. It can immediately know someone’s tax duties and provide detailed descriptions of images. However, though the new technology can do better on tests and offer precise medical advice to doctors, it can mess up basic arithmetic(算术).

OpenAI got the new technology enhanced. As people tested ChatGPT, they rated thechatbot’s responses, separating those that were useful and truthful from those that weren’t.Then, using an advanced skill, the system spent months analyzing those ratings and gaining abetter understanding of what it should and shouldn’t do.
Given a long article and asked to summarize it, GPT-4 will give a precise summary nearlyevery time. Moreover, given a photograph, chart or diagram, the technology can provide adetailed, paragraphs-long description of the image and answer questions about its contents.
OpenAI leaders said the company wasn’t immediately releasing the image description partof the technology because they were unsure how it could be applied for improper purposes.However, “We can take all these general-purpose knowledge skills and spread them across allsorts of different areas,” said Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president. “This takes the technology intoa whole new field.”

C. To explain an idea. D. To make a conclusion.
30. What does the underlined word “enhanced” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Replaced. B. Appreciated. C. Improved. D. Developed.
31. What was OpenAI’s worry about GPT-4?

Memorial Park in Houston, Texas was halved by the Memorial Drive Highway in the1950s. It has now been reunited. The highway is still there, but the road goes underneath the1,500-acre park.

After 10 years of planning and constructing, the Kinder Land Bridge officially opened inearly February, 2023. The bridge consists of 100 acres of greenery, and while designed forpeople, has reconnected wildlife corridors. The reconstruction added 45 acres of native GulfCoast prairie(草原)that’ll increase biodiversity in the park. “This project is not just aboutcreating a passage or a bridge. This project is about ecology, it’s about biodiversity and watermanagement. This project is a bridge into Houston’s future.” said Shellye Arnold, presidentof the Memorial Park Conservancy.

I had an independent and clever dog named Stickeen. He enjoyed the delicious food thatmy family prepared for him every day. He often ran out of my sight when walking with me.
Early one morning, I went to explore a nearby glacier. Stickeen followed me, andtogether we went upon the glacier. Later, I discovered that we were trapped between two verydeep cracks in the glacier. The only way across it was a very thin ice that connected thecracks. I made a path across the “bridge” and got to the other side. But my dog was afraid tohave a try and began to cry. After taking another careful look at the large cracks, he ran awayhopelessly to find some other crossings. By the time he got back, he was confused of course.
When I reached the other side, he screamed louder than ever, and after running back andforth without searching for a good way to escape, he would return to the edge of the crack,crying as if in the sadness of death. I called again and again in a sure voice to come on and fearnothing, but he would think for a moment, look down again at the “bridge”, and shout hisunshakable thought that he could never, never come that way, and then lie back hopelessly,as if screaming, “O-o-oh! What a place! No-o-o, I can never go-o-o down there!” At last, Iseriously shouted to him that now I must certainly leave him and I could wait no longer if hecould not come.
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。
He knew very well what I meant.
