Adapting t technlgical advances is a defining part f the 21st-century life. Just tw mnths after being launched in Nvember 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has already reached an audience f ver 100 millin peple. While ChatGPT threatens t change writing and writing-related wrk, the Mesptamians, wh lived 4,000 years ag in a gegraphical area centered in mdern-day Iraq, went thrugh this kind f far-reaching change befre us.
Ancient Mesptamia was hme t many f civilizatin’s early develpments. Its peple were wrld leaders in adapting t technlgical and cultural changes. They invented the wheel and agriculture, and pineered advances in mathematics and urbanizatin. These breakthrughs are reflected in cuneifrm(楔形文字)literature，ne f the ldest knwn frms f writing.
In its literature, Mesptamians dn’t present cultural and technlgical advances as cnsistently beneficial.They ften represent new technlgies being cntrlled in the service f human cnflict and mstly serving the interests f thse with high scial psitins.

Humans have been struggling t invent, use and adapt t technlgy since ur earliest civilizatins. But the technlgy and resulting knwledge are nt always evenly distributed. Knwing hw we adapted t changing technlgy in the past helps us mre fully understand the human cnditin and may even help us prepare fr the future.
8．What des paragraph 2 mainly talk abut cncerning Mesptamians?
A．Their adaptatin t threats.
B．Their influences n writing.
C．Their cntributin t literature.
D．Their achievements in civilizatin.
9．What can be inferred abut technlgical advances frm paragraph 3?
A．They prevent human cnflict.
B．They bring abut hidden dangers.
C．They take away peple’s cncerns.
D．They lwer peple’s scial status.
10．What is the current situatin f AI accrding t paragraph 4?
A．Its use in literature is ppular.
B．It is nt allwed t finish papers.
C．Its range f applicatin is undefined.
D．It is nt accepted in brader fields.
11．Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A．Hw Peple Can Use the Latest Technlgy
B．Hw ChatGPT Will Threaten Writing and Wrk
C．What AI Will D by Learning Cuneifrm Literature
D．What Histry Can Teach Us Abut New Tech’s Impact
