Science jurnals ban listing f ChatGPT as c - authr n papers
The publishers f thusands f scientific jurnals have banned r restricted cntributrs' use f an advanced AI - driven chatbt amid the cncerns (1) it culd pepper academic literature with flawed and even fabricated research.
ChatGPT, a fluent but flaky chatbt develped by OpenAI in Califrnia, has impressed r distressed mre than a millin human users by rattling ut pems, shrt stries, essays and even persnal advice since its launch in Nvember.
(2) the chatbt has prved a huge surce f fun --- its take n hw t free a peanut butter sandwich frm a VCR, in the style f the King James Bible, is ne ntable hit --- the prgram can als prduce fake scientific abstracts that are cnvincing enugh t fl human reviewers.
ChatGPT's mre legal uses in article preparatin have already led t it (3) (credit) as a c - authr n a handful f papers.
The sudden arrival f ChatGPT has prmted a scramble published t respnd. On Thursday, Hlden Thrp, the editr - in - chief f the leading US jurnal Science, annunced an updated editrial plicy, banning the use f text frm ChatGPT and clarifying that the prgram culd nt be listed as an authr.
"Given the craze that has built up arund this, it's a gd idea t make (4) abslutely clear that we will nt permit ChatGPT t be an authr r t have its text (5) (use) in papers," Thrp said.
Leading scientific jurnals require authrs t sign a frm (6) (declare) that they are accuntable (7) their cntributin t the wrk. Since ChatGPT cannt d this, it cannt be an authr, Thrp says.
But even using ChatGPT in the preparatin f a paper is prblematic, he believes. ChatGPT makes plenty f errrs, which culd find their way int the literature, he says, and if scientists cme (8) (rely) n AI prgrams t prepare literature reviews r summarize their findings, the prper cntext f the wrk and the deep inspectin that results deserve culd be lst. "That is the ppsite directin f where we need t g," he said.
Other publishers have made similar changes. On Tuesday, Springer - Nature, which publishes nearly 3,000 jurnals, updated its guidelines t state that ChatGPT cannt be listed as an authr.
But the publisher has nt banned ChatGPT utright. The tl, and thers like it, can still be used in the preparatin f papers, if full details (9) (reveal) in the manuscript.
Elsevier, which publishes abut 2,800 jurnals, including Cell and the Lancet, has taken a similar stance t Springer - Nature, (10) guidelines allw the use f AI tls t imprve the readability and language f the research article, but nt t replace key tasks that shuld be dne by the authrs, such as interpreting data r drawing scientific cnclusins.

Free Will Under the Scanner
One night, while lying awake, I fund myself turning ver different ways t begin an essay. I imagined sentence after sentence, 11 hw each might flw int the next. All the while, neurns (神经元) were quietly firing in my brain. That neural activity helps explain why I had thse 12 — but des it als mean I had n chice in the matter?
Sme scientists believe s. A number f influential studies suggest that ur brains launch 13 befre we are aware f making a decisin. In the 1980s, Benjamin Libet fund that electrical signals in the brain — s - called readiness ptentials — appear befre peple reprt chsing t mve. Mre recent studies have fund similar results, smetimes detecting 14 brain activity several secnds in advance.
These findings have led sme researchers t cnclude that free will desn't exist — that the brain, nt the mind, determines what we d. Neurscientist Jhn - Dylan Haynes, fr instance, has argued that ur decisins are "predetermined," and that the brain is "making the decisin befre the persn." Philspher and bilgist Jerry Cyne ges further, claiming that nne f ur chices result frm 15 reflectin at all.
But d these experiments really shw that we are mere 16 , watching decisins unfld frm the backseat? Nt quite. The tasks invlved in these studies, like 17 between tw buttns, are simple. They d nt reflect the kind f thughtful planning we engage in every day. Mrever, the pwer f early brain signals is 18 at best. In many cases, it's nly slightly mre accurate than a cin flip (抛硬币).
Other research shws that cnscius thught des matter. Frming specific intentins, reflecting n gals, and 19 self - cntrl can significantly influence ur actins. These prcesses, thugh 20 in the brain, are central t what we understand as free will.
II. Reading Cmprehensin (45')
Sectin A (15')
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Infrmatin literacy seems t be a unique phrase fr ur time. It is imprtant in all aspects f life t achieve persnal, scial, wrkplace and educatinal gals. Last mnth, a leading test prviding cmpany 21 that it had created ne t measure students' ability t 22 nline material. That suggested an fficial recgnitin that the millins f dllars spent t supply nline access t ur students is f 23 use unless students knw hw t find ut useful infrmatin frm the cean f 24 n the Web.
Clearly, "cmputer skills" are nt enugh. Students are never 25 while surfing the Internet. They trust everything nline. That trusting 26 is partly a legacy (遗留物) f the print age. If we tend t believe things we read in the library bks, it is because they have been 27 first by a publisher, wh decided they were wrth printing, and then by the librarian wh acquired them r the prfessr wh requested their 28 . The Web, hwever, enjys n such 29 .
But, there is a paradx (矛盾) in the way peple think f the Web. Everyne is aware that bad infrmatin is everywhere nline, but mst peple feel 30 that they can srt the gd frm the bad. In a survey 31 by the Pew Prject n the Internet and American Life, 87 percent f search - engine users said they fund what they were lking fr all r mst f the time.
That level f cnfidence may nt be 32 , particularly when a search fr infrmatin requires judging a Web site's 33 . Accrding t the Pew survey, nly 38 percent f search - engine users were aware f the difference between unpaid and 34 search results, and nly 18 percent culd tell which is which. Peple tend t judge the credit f a Web site by its appearance, 35 by checking wh put it up and why.

Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C, and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
Every April I am trubled by the same cncern – that spring might nt ccur this year. The landscape lks dull, with hills, sky and frest appearing gray. My spirits ebb as they did during an April snwfall when I first came t Maine 15 years ag. "Just wait," a neighbr advised. "Yu'll wake up ne mrning and spring will just be here."
And lk, n May 3 that year I awke t a green s amazing as t be almst electric, as if spring were simply a matter f flipping a switch. Hills, sky and frest revealed their purples, blues and green. Leaves had unflded and daffdils were fighting their way heavenward.
Then there was the ld apple tree. It sits n an undevelped lt in my neighbrhd. It belngs t n ne and therefre t everyne. The tree's dark twisted branches stretch ut in unpruned(未经修剪的) abandn. Each spring it blssms s freely that the air becmes filled with the scent f apple.
Until last year, I thught I was the nly ne aware f this tree. And then ne day, in a bit f spring madness, I set ut with pruner t remve a few disrderly branches. N sner had I arrived under the tree than neighbrs pened their windws and stepped nt their prches. These were peple I barely knew and seldm spke t, but it was as if I had cme uninvited int their persnal gardens.
My mbile - hme neighbr was the first t speak. "Yu're nt cutting it dwn, are yu?" she asked anxiusly. Anther neighbr frwned as I cut ff a branch. "Dn't kill it, nw," he warned. Sn half the neighbrhd had jined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there fr five years and nly nw was learning these peple's names, what they did fr a living and hw they passed the winter. It was as if the ld apple tree was gathering us under its branches fr the purpse f bth acquaintanceship and shared wnder. I culdn't help recalling Rbert Frst's wrds:
The trees that have it in their pent - up buds
T darken nature and be summer wds
One thaw led t anther. Just the ther day I saw ne f my neighbrs at the lcal stre. He remarked hw this recent winter had been especially lng and cmplained f nt having seen r spken at length t anyne in ur neighbrhd. And then, he lked at me and said, "We need t prune that apple tree again."
36. By saying that "my spirits ebb" (Para. 1), the authr means that ______.
A. he feels relievedB. he feels blueC. he is surprisedD. he is tired
37. The apple tree mentined in the passage is mst likely t ______.
A. be regarded as a delight in the neighbrhd
B. have been abandned by its riginal wner
C. have been neglected by everyne in the cmmunity
D. be appealing nly t the authr
38. In Para. 4, "neighbrs pened their windws and stepped nt their prches" prbably because ______.
A. they were surprised that smene unknwn was pruning the tree
B. they wanted t prevent the authr frm pruning the tree
C. they were cncerned abut the safety f the tree
D. they wanted t get t knw the authr
39. It can be inferred that the authr's neighbr mentined in the last paragraph mst cared abut ______.
A. when spring wuld arriveB. hw t pass the lng winter
C. the neighbrhd gatheringD. the pruning f the apple tree

(C)
While fssil fuels — cal, il, gas — still generate rughly 85 percent f the wrld’s energy supply, it’s clearer than ever that the future belngs t renewable surces such as wind and slar. The mve t renewables is picking up mmentum arund the wrld: they nw accunt fr mre than half f new pwer surces ging n line.
Sme grwth stems frm a cmmitment by gvernments and farsighted businesses t fund cleaner energy surces. But increasingly the stry is abut the plummeting prices f renewables, especially wind and slar. The cst f slar panels has drpped by 80 percent and the cst f wind turbines by clse t ne - third in the past eight years.
In many parts f the wrld renewable energy is already a principal energy surce. In Sctland, fr example, wind turbines prvide enugh electricity t pwer 95 percent f hmes. While the rest f the wrld takes the lead, ntably China and Eurpe, the United States is als seeing a remarkable shift. In March, fr the first time, wind and slar pwer accunted fr mre than 10 percent f the pwer generated in the US, reprted the US Energy Infrmatin Administratin.
President Trump has underlined fssil fuels — especially cal — as the path t ecnmic grwth. In a recent speech in Iwa, he dismissed wind pwer as an unreliable energy surce. But that message did nt play well with many in Iwa, where wind turbines dt the fields and prvide 36 percent f the state’s electricity generatin — and where tech giants such as Facebk, Micrsft, and Ggle are being attracted by the availability f clean energy t pwer their data centers.
The questin “what happens when the wind desn’t blw r the sun desn’t shine?” has prvided a quick put - dwn fr skeptics. But a bst in the strage capacity f batteries is making their ability t keep pwer flwing arund the clck mre likely.
The advance is driven in part by vehicle manufacturers, wh are placing big bets n battery - pwered electric vehicles. Althugh electric cars are still a rarity n rads nw, this massive investment culd change the picture rapidly in cming years.
While there’s a lng way t g, the train lines fr renewables are spiking. The pace f change in energy surces appears t be speeding up — perhaps just in time t have a meaningful effect in slwing climate change. What Washingtn des, r desn’t d — t prmte alternative energy may mean less and less at a time f a glbal shift in thught.
43. Accrding t Paragraph 3, the use f renewable energy in America ______.
A. is prgressing ntablyB. is as extensive as in Eurpe
C. faces many challengesD. has prved t be impractical
44. It can be learned that in Iwa, ______.
A. there is a shrtage f clean energy supply
B. wind energy has replaced fssil fuels
C. tech giants are investing in clean energy
D. wind is a widely used energy surce
45. Which f the fllwing is true abut clean energy accrding t paragraphs 5&6?
A. Its applicatin has helped bst battery strage.
B. It is cmmnly used in car manufacturing.
C. Its cntinuus supply might becme a reality.
D. Its sustainable explitatin will remain difficult.
46. It can be inferred frm the last paragraph that renewable energy ______.
A. will bring the US clser t ther cuntries.
B. will accelerate glbal envirnmental change.
C. is nt really encuraged by the US gvernment.
D. is nt cmpetitive enugh with regard t its cst.
Sectin C (8')
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
A large bdy f evidence - based career advice says emplyees wh are passinate abut what they d will be bth happier and mre prductive at wrk. Their passin cmes frm caring deeply abut what they d r where they wrk and being persnally invested in and mtivated by its missin.
47 What abut the large percentage f peple wh dn't abslutely lve their current jb — are they dmed t a life f failure and misery? And, further, must yu sustain this passin in every rle and at each pint in yur career?
In fact, as ne peer - reviewed study titled "On the Rle f Passin fr Wrk in Burnut" fund, passin can smetimes even be a negative indicatr fr success r jb satisfactin, nt t mentin the wrk/life balance everyne seems t be chasing after. The authrs fund that "bsessive passin" fr ne's wrk can lead t an increase in cnflict between wrk and ther life activities because the persn cannt let g f the wrk activity. 48
But, n the ther hand, nt having passin desn't mean yu dn't care abut yur jb r dn't have ther factrs mtivating yu t d "great" wrk and advance in yur career. And, nt everyne defines passin in the same sense. Sme peple think having passin fr their career means simply liking the jb. 49 Ask 20 peple what it means t have a passin fr
their career, and yu'll likely get 20 smewhat different respnses.
The gd news is that yu will still be fine if yu seem satisfied with yur career path but are nt passinate abut yur jb. Passin, it seems, is ptinal. 50 What a relief!

Califrnia cndrs are Nrth America's largest birds, with wing - length f up t 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead pisning nearly drve them t dying ut. Nw, electric shck training and medical treatment are helping t rescue these big birds.
Electrical lines have been killing them ff. "As they g in t rest fr the night, they just dn't see the pwer lines," says Bruce Rideut f San Dieg Z. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrcutin (电死) if they tuch tw lines at nce. S scientists have cme up with a shcking idea. Tall ples, placed in large training areas, teach the birds t stay clear f electrical lines by giving them a painful but nt deadly electric shck. Befre the training was intrduced, 66% f set - freed cndrs died f electrcutin. This has nw drpped t 18%.
Lead pisning has prved mre difficult t deal with. When cndrs eat dead bdies f ther animals cntaining lead, they absrb large quantities f lead. This affects their nervus systems and ability t prduce baby birds, and can lead t kidney failures and death. S cndrs with high levels f lead are sent t Ls Angeles Z, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that remves lead frm the bld ver several days. This wrk is starting t pay ff. The annual death rate fr adult cndrs has drpped frm 38% in 2000 t 5.4% in 2011.
Rideut's team thinks that the Califrnia cndrs' average survival time in the wild is nw just under eight years. "Althugh these measures are nt effective frever, they are vital fr nw," he says. "They are truly gd birds that are wrth every effrt we put int recvering them."
