27、   Chicago already has bike sharing and car sharing. Could electric scooter(滑板车)sharing be the next big thing?

With electric scooter sharing already appearing in many cities and the biggest operator eyeing the Chicago market, Moreno is trying to make the rules of the road before electric scooters arrive.” It’s yet another means of transportation and we need to welcome them and make the regulations in advance if we are really serious about reducing traffic and reducing air pollution,”said Moreno.

Moreno said that in other cities, electric scooter riders have ignored helmet rules and traffic laws. They have parked illegally and ridden scooters on sidewalks. Those are the problems he’s trying to avoid. The rules would require related companies to first get an “Electric Scooter Share License”. To get the license, companies would need to provide a minimum of 100 scooters operating at a maximum（最高的）speed of 20 miles per hour.

Bird is the nation’s leading electric vehicle sharing company. It has raised $100 million and begun operations in many cities. Bird ‘s spokesman Kenneth Baer said his company welcomes the Chicago regulations, which can help to avoid the start-up problems it has met with in other cities.

“We follow the laws on the books. It happens to be that in a good number of cities the law is silent or not clear how to treat this new technology. And that causes some troubles,”said Baer. “If the rules of the road are officially made in advance then it is very clear. I think the Chicago regulations really would give the citizens a great way to get around the city.”

【1】What can we learn from Moreno’s words?

A.The various means of transportation in Chicago.

B.The popularity of electric scooter sharing.

C.The reasons behind making the rules in advance.

D.The future of Chicago’s traffic.

【2】What should the relevant(相关的) companies do to get the “Electric Scooter Share License”?

A.They should provide enough parking spaces

B.They should limit the speed of their scooters.

C.They should raise at least $ 100 million.

D.They should provide helmets for renters.

【3】Why has Bird run into problems in some cities?

A.The scooter-sharing laws are too strict.

B.People take no notice of traffic regulations

C.Electric scooter sharing has many disadvantages

D.These cities lack specific rules to deal with scooter sharing

【4】What does Baer think of Chicago regulations?

A.They are forward-thinking.

B.They will limit scooter sharing

C.They should be further discussed.

D.They should follow the example of other cities.

28、ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.

The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.

“We have a lot of information on the internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo, chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit. “Now you’ll have this resource that can process the whole internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.”

ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.

Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.

However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.

A．Its capability of information processing.

B．Its accurate information.

C．Its availability of up-to-date data.

C．ChatGPT offers illogical information.

D．ChatGPT is not properly trained.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT?

A．Favorable.

B．Disapproving.

29、Making Short Videos

“A picture is worth a thousand words or so”, they say. Well, motion (运动) pictures can contain even more memories. 【1】Here are some apps you can use to make your own short videos.

Qupeiyin.cn

Reciting lines from movies is an effective and classic way to learn English. So what if you could dub(配音) recordings accompanied by movie clips(剪辑) and then share them with friends? 【2】You name it. By contributing your voice, you can either mimic(模仿) the original soundtrack or create something completely new of your own.

Shorts

【3】With the help of the Shorts app, you can make pictures in your album into a slide show. Choose from any of the off-the-shelf themes---“holiday”, “travel”, “friendship” and “party” for example—each matched with its own theme music and slide background. But if you’re not satisfied with the combinations, feel free to do a little change by adding text to the pictures or replacing the music with something in your own playlist.

Viva Video

Video making and editing once seemed awfully hard.【4】But this app will ease you into the field with straight-forward functions and clear direction to help you “create your own video story”. Apart from filter, stickers and text, the coolest part of this app is that you can write the narratives yourself and add your own voice to the video.【5】Viva Video requires a relatively powerful phone to run smoothly.
