21、Even if you aren't into artificial intelligence, it's time to pay attention to ChatGPT, because this one is a big deal. ChatGPT is an Al chatbot system that OpenAI released in November to show off and test what a very large, powerful Al system can accomplish.

ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models. It lets you type natural-language prompts and then offers conversational responses. It remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It finds relevant information in its oceans of training data, and converts that into plausible-sounding paragraphs of text.

You can ask it countless questions and often will get an answer that's useful. For example. you can ask it encyclopedia questions like. "Explain Newton's laws of motion. " You can tell it. “Write me a poem. " and when it does. say. "Now make it more exciting. ” You can ask it to write a computer program that'll show you all the different ways you can arrange the letters of a word.

A few days after its launch. more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January. accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.

Many people fear that ChatGPT might help students cheat better. But as with many other technology developments. it's not a simple black-and-white situation. Decades ago. students could copy encyclopedia entries and use calculators. and more recently. they've been able to usesearch engines and Wikipedia. ChatGPT offers new abilities for everything from helping with researeh to doing your homework for you outright.

Dustin York. an associate professor of commination at Maryville University. hopes educators will learn to use ChatGPT as a tool and realize it can help students think critically.

" Educators" thought that Google, Wikipedia, and the Internet itself would ruin education, but they did not. "York said. "What worries me most are educators who may actively try to discourage the acknowledgment of Al like ChatGPT. It is a tool, not a villain. "

22、When “irregardless” was included in Merriam-Webster dictionary, it caused wide disagreements. “Irregardless” has been in widespread and near-constant use since 1795, when a newspaper called The Charleston City Gazelle of Charleston Ga first used it. “We do not make the English language, and we merely record it,” the dictionary’s staff wrote in “Words of the Week”.

The word’s definition, when we read it, would seem to be without regard. However, Merriam-Webster defines “irregardless” as “nonstandard” but meaning the same as “regardless”. According to Merriam-Webster, “Many people find ‘irregardless’ to be a ridiculous word, as the ir-prefix usually indicates negative meaning; however, in this case it appears to make the meaning of ‘regardless’ stronger.”

“It’s not a real word. I don’t care what the dictionary says.” responds author Michelle Ray, who teaches English in Silver Spring, Md. And she says she’s still planning to mark “irregardless” as incorrect on her students’ work.

An American newspaper the Baltimore Sun published the word in editor John McIntyre’s commentary on Saturday: “‘Irregardless’ is too a word; you just don’t understand dictionaries. People get upset about the dictionary because they think it is some sort of official document. But actually, it’s not. It’s just lexicographers identifying words that people use and trying to find out how they are spelled, how they are pronounced, what meanings they have and where they came from.”

“The dictionary’s recognition doesn’t enroll a word as correct in the English language,” McIntyre says. “It just says this is a word that a lot of people use in English. And here’s what we know about it.” So it’s a word, but its use is still discouraged in formal writing.

【1】What’s the function of the first paragraph?

A．To criticize the use of “irregardless”.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To make a definition of “irregardless”.

D．To give an example.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．“Irregardless” had been in widespread and near-constant use before 1975.

B．The dictionary’s staff rarely record the English language.

C．Michelle Ray thinks the use of “irregardless” formal but incorrect.

D．People are still not encouraged to use “irregardless” in formal writing.

【3】What is the attitude of McIntyre to the appearance of “irregardless” in Merriam-Webster dictionary?

A．Favorable.

B．Conservative.

C．Indifferent.

D．Ambiguous.

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．“Irregardless” Is Frequently Used in Formal Writing

B．“Irregardless” Shouldn’t Be Included in the Dictionary

C．Regardless of What You Think, “Irregardless” Is a Word

D．Experts Can’t Agree on the Meaning of “Irregardless”

23、   Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.

However, unlike the plot of one film—which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientist’s bloodstream — this device could not be inserted into blood vessels（管）because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.

To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus（食道）and stomach made out of silicone(硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine（肠）, and contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10mm×27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery burn to speed up healing.

The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to succeed.

【1】According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to_________.

A．travel through a scientist’s bloodstream

B．enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairs

C．photograph the body to convey to the doctor

D．operate on a person outside the body completely

【2】We learn from Paragraph 3 that _________.

A．the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal

B．the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice

C．digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for children

D．the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnet

【3】What may the experiment mean to the medical world?

A．Fewer children will swallow the button cells.

B．A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.

C．The surgeries will cost patients much money.

D．Patients will suffer less for some surgeries.

【4】Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?

A．The Fantastic Robotic Voyage

B．The Exploration of Robot Technology

C．Tiny Robot, Significant Role

D．An Experiment on Robot
