There’s a new AI bt: ChatGPT, and yu’d better pay attentin, even if yu aren’t int artificial intelligence. The tl is an AI chatbt system that OpenAI released in Nvember 2022 t shw ff and test what a very large, pwerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread f yur dialgue, using previus questins and answers t infrm its next respnses. It derives its answers frm huge vlumes f infrmatin n the Internet. ChatGPT is built n tp f the OpenAI GPT-3 family f large language mdels and is fine-tuned (a methd f transfer learning) using bth supervised and reinfrcement learning (监督和强化学习).
Yu can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking fr birthday party ideas and getting prgramming help. Perhaps it’s nt smart enugh t replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sund dwnright authritative. A few days after its launch, mre than 1 millin peple were trying ut ChatGPT. UBS analyst Llyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 millin mnthly users in January, accmplishing in 2 mnths what tk TikTk abut 9 mnths and Instagram tw and a half years.
ChatGPT is free t use at the mment because it is still in its research phase. But when t many peple hp nt the server, it verlads and can’t prcess yur request. It just means yu shuld try visiting the site at a later time when fewer peple are trying t access it. If yu want t skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an ptin fr yu. As f Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pr plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allws users t have general access even during peak times. This service des cme at a cst f $20/mnth.
Hwever, ChatGPT can nt replace Ggle. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence rbt that prvides slutins t yur questins, but Ggle is a search engine in which yu can search fr as much infrmatin as pssible. ChatGPT has limited knwledge due t its prgramming but Ggle has unlimited knwledge which is updated every day.
19. What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut ChatGPT?
A. Its wrking thery.B. Its language mdel.
C. Its design inspiratin.D. Its develpment prcess.
20. Why des the authr list figures in paragraph 3?
A. T shw the ppularity f ChatGPT.
B. T stress the high cst f inventing ChatGPT.
C. T present the creativity f artificial intelligence.
D. T prve the necessity f develping tls fr chatting nline.
21. What is ChatGPT Plus intended fr?
A. Guiding users t experience free services.
B. Giving users pririty access during peak hurs.
C. Allwing net surfers t skip advertisements.D. Helping researchers detect the failure f the system.
22. What is a limitatin f ChatGPT cmpared with Ggle?
A. It may prvide replies unrelated t the questins.
B. It can nly update infrmatin at a fixed time
C. It needs lnger t prvide slutins.
D. It perates based n limited data.
C
Yu are given many pprtunities in life t chse t be a victim r creatr. When yu chse t be a victim, the wrld is a cld and difficult place. “They” did things t yu which caused all f yur pain and suffering. “They” are wrng and bad, and life is terrible as lng as “they” are arund. Or yu may blame yurself fr all yur prblems, thus internalizing (内化) yur victimizatin. The truth is, yur life is likely t stay that way as lng as yu feel a need t blame yurself r thers.
Thse wh chse t be creatrs lk at life quite differently. They knw there are individuals wh might like t cntrl their lives, but they dn’t let this get in the way. They knw they have their weaknesses, yet they dn’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have chice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) mment f life is a gift and that strms are a natural part f life which can bring the rain needed fr emtinal and spiritual grwth.
Victims and creatrs live in the same physical wrld and deal with many f the same physical realities, yet their experience f life is wrlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and ther emtins that cause thers—and even themselves—t feel like victims, t. Creatrs cnsciusly chse lve, inspiratin, and ther qualities which inspire nt nly themselves, but all arund them. Bth victims and creatrs always have chice t determine the directin f their lives.
In reality, all f us play the victim r the creatr at varius pints in ur lives. One persn, n lsing a jb r a special relatinship, may feel as if it is the end f the wrld and sink int terrible suffering fr mnths, years, r even a lifetime. Anther with the same experience may chse t first experience the grief, then accept the lss and sn mve n t be a pwerful creative frce in his life.
In every mment and every circumstance, yu can chse t have filler, richer life by setting a clear intentin t transfrm the victim within, and by inviting int yur life the pwerful creatr that yu are.
23. What des the wrd “They” in Paragraph 1 prbably refer t?
A. Peple and things arund yu. B. Opprtunities and prblems.
C. Creatrs and their chices. D. Victims and their sufferings.

Lk t many f histry’s cultural symbls, and there yu’ll find an ancestr f Frsty, the snwman in the mvie Frzen. It appeared n sme f the first pstcards, starred in sme f the earliest silent mvies, and was the subject f a cuple f the earliest phts, dating all the way back t the 1800s. I discvered even mre abut ne f humanity’s earliest frms f life art during several years f research arund the wrld.
Fr example, snwmen were a phenmenn in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thught. At a time f limited means f expressin, snw was like free art supplies drpped frm the sky. It was a ppular activity fr cuples t leisurely walk thrugh twn t view the temprary wrks f chilly art. Sme were created by famus artists, including a 19-year-ld Michelangel, wh in 1494 was appinted by the ruler f Flrence, Italy, t build a snwman in his mansin’s curtyard.
The Miracle f 1511 tk place during six freezing wrks called the Winter f Death. The city f Brussels was cvered in snwmen—an impressive scene that tld stries n every street crner. Sme were plitical in nature, criticizing the church and gvernment. Sme were a reflectin f peple’s imaginatin. Fr the peple f Brussels, this was a defining mment f defining freedm. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging flds.
If yu fear the heyday f the snwman has passed, dn’t wrry: I’ve learned that sme explsive snwman histry is still being made tday. Every year since 1818, the peple f Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning f spring by blwing up a snwman. On the third Mnday f April, the hliday Sechselauten is kicked ff when a cttn snwman called the Bgg is stuffed with explsive and paraded thrugh twn by bakers and ther tradesmen wh thrw bread t the crwds. The parade ends with the Bgg being placed n a 40-ft pile f firewd. After the bells f the Church f St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing f winter, the pile is lit. When the snwman expldes, winter is cnsidered fficially ver—the quicker it is burnt dwn, the lnger summer is said t be.
27. Accrding t the passage, why did snwmen becme a phenmenn in the Middle Ages?
A. Peple thught f snw as hly art supplies.
B. Peple lnged t see masterpieces f snw.
C. Building snwmen was a way fr peple t express themselves.
D. Building snwmen helped peple develp their skill and thught.
28. “The heyday f the snwman” (paragraph 4) means the time when ________.
A. snwmen were made mainly by artists
B. snwmen enjyed great ppularityC. snwmen were plitically criticized
D. snwmen caused damaging flds
29. In Zurich, the blwing up f the Bgg symblizes ________.
A. the start f the paradeB. the cming f a lnger summer
C. the passing f the winterD. the success f tradesmen
30. What can be cncluded abut snwmen frm the passage?
A. They were appreciated in histryB. They have lst their value
C. They were related t mviesD. They vary in shape and size

One cmmn shpper strategy is “shwrming.” This means that custmers g int a stre, lk at the prduct, talk t a salespersn, and then use their smartphnes r ther mbile devices t find a better price. “Reverse shwrming” is anther strategy. 32 One thing is fr certain: shppers are nw using many strategies t get the best price.
