An incredibly adaptive species f cral（珊瑚）discvered ff the cast f Gl-bdi Island in Nrtheast Australia has weathered hundreds f years f cral bleaching（白化）and survived till nw. What can this teach scientists abut preservatin?
At 34 feet wide, this cral is rughly the size f a carusel. Its incredible width is a result f its hard skeletn, which is made f calcium carbnate frm the surrunding seawater. Nicknamed Muga dhambi, r "big cral", it stands ver 16 feet tall, making Muga dhambi the tallest cral in the Great Barrier Reef. This recrd-breaking cral is discvered by lcal citizens.

"It's extremely inspiring t knw that these things like Muga dhambi exist, and have survived fr a lng time. The clny is in fairly gd health with 70% f it cnsisting f live cral.

Fr business leaders, the idea f applying AI such as ChatGPT t strategic planning is muthwatering. But hw d we identify the areas where AI can bst strategic planning? Can AI vercme blind spts and predict the future?
Keith is CEO f Trident, a cmmercial agricultural cmpany. Keith called his members fr their annual strategy discussin. One step invlved listing the "key strategic issues". Here's the team's list: Cmpetitin; Branch number and lcatin; Prduct pricing; Prfitability; Climate. While Keith was happy with the list, he recgnized they had a limited perspective. As agricultural scientists, they knew their game, but they didn't knw any thers. Hence, Keith raised tw questins: Can AI prvide a nn-agricultural perspective? Can AI help frecast future demand fr service?
The first cncerns a single-minded view based n the industry experience alne. Keith wanted t tap int a viewpint utside agricultural science t prduce a fresh perspective. He turned t AI fr help.
AI's respnse cntained multiple headings. Was there anything new? Yes. But there were als misses. AI didn't pick up "branch number and lcatin" and "prfitability" n Keith's list. "Branch lcatin" is a very specific issue t Trident and AI hardly knws abut that. Nt mentining "prfitability" was a big miss. Als, it didn't mentin the critical issue f "prduct pricing" related t cmpetitin. AI's large language mdel lacks access t cmpany-specific infrmatin, explaining sme misses. T tackle this, Keith regenerated respnses t see alternative answers. Fr instance, asking AI t simply prvide 10 mre ideas helped create a lnger list and avid thse bvius misses.
On Keith's first questin, AI had succeeded. It presented imprtant areas that Keith's team missed: technlgical advancements and regulatry changes. Keith's secnd questin prved mre challenging fr AI, because it is trained n histrical data and cannt predict the future.
Hwever, with clever clues, AI can prvide the team with fd fr thught. When asked 'What will impact the future demand fr ur services?", the tl highlighted factrs, frm changing cnsumer preferences t glbal ppulatin grwth. These drivers help Keith's team think mre bradly abut demand.
32. What des the authr want t prve with Keith's cmpany?
A. AI's ability t spt different perspectives.
B. AI's functin in imprving prductin.
C. Al can cntribute t strategic planning.
D. AI can bst prfitability.
33. What made Keith turn t AI fr help?
A. Limitatins f his team's fist.
B. Dream t invent new technlgy.
C. Uncertainty abut future demand.
D. Change f the cnventinal pattern.
34. What is the main idea f Para 4?
A. AI helped t spt new pssibilities.
B. AI ignred sme imprtant parts.
C. AI created autmatic alternatives.
D. AI accessed large language mdel.
35 What's the authr's attitude twards AI's applicatin in strategic planning?
