Passage2
After spending almost a year-and-a-half in near-total isolation(隔离) some 230 feet underground,Beatriz Flamini,50,of Madrid,emerged from a cave in southern Spain and asked:Who’s buying the beer?
The climber and mountaineer had entered the cave on Nov.21,2021,determined to spend 500 days alone—monitored by a group of scientists—to explore the effects of isolation on the human body and mind.
After resurfacing,Flamini embraced supporters,met with her doctors and spent nearly an hour talking to the reporters.She told them she was ready for a drink and a shower—but could have stayed in the cave longer.
“I was sleeping when they came down to get me,” Flamini said,according to The Guardian.“I thought something had happened.I said:‘Already?No way.’ I hadn’t finished my book.”By that point,she’d already made it through 60 books.
Flamini’s team says she spent her days reading,drawing,exercising,knitting and recording herself with two GoPros.
Flamini said she’d lost track of time after about two months in the cave,and thought she had only been in there for some 160 or 170 days.She described the experience as “excellent,unbeatable”,telling reporters that she never even considered hitting the panic button.“In fact,I didn’t want to come out,” she said.
Flamini says she still feels like it’s 2021.Even things like being in the sunlight and talking to others were going to take some getting used to,Flamini said on Friday morning,wearing dark sunglasses and a big smile.
“How would you feel if you had a dream and you fulfilled it?”she said when asked the reason.“Would you come out crying?”
Noting that people at the news conference wore face masks,apparently to protect her from infections,Flamini joked it made her feel like it still was the height of the pandemic.
Flamini said she will continue to let doctors study the physical and mental impact of her time in the cave—before planning her next mountaineering and caving projects.

Passage3
Ask the new artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write about the cause of the American Civil War and you can watch it produce a school report in just a few seconds.The
technology is so good that it can write sentences like ones written by a human.And it is also free.
The tool has been in use since November.But it is already raising tough questions about the future of AI in education,the tech industry,and a number of professions.
New York City school officials recently started blocking the writing tool on school devices and networks.Teachers are now trying to find out how to prevent students using the AI tool for cheating.And the creators of ChatGPT also say they are looking for ways to detect misuse.
ChatGPT launched last November and it is part of a new generation of AI systems that can have a discussion and create written work.It can even produce new images and videos based on what it has learned from a large database of digital books,online writings and other media.
ChatGPT is also designed to be more user-friendly.It works like a written conversation between the AI system and the person asking it questions.
Like similar systems,ChatGPT can produce strong writing.But that does not mean what it says is factual or makes sense.
Its launch came with little guidance for how to use it.But the program will admit when it is wrong.It will also question “incorrect premises” and reject requests meant to bring about offensive(冒犯的) answers.
Many school systems in the U.S.are still deciding how to set policies on the use of AI programs and how they can be used.
The New York City education department said it is restricting use of ChatGPT because it is worried about negative impacts on student learning,as well as “concerns regarding the safety and accuracy of content”.
But there is no stopping a student from using ChatGPT from home or on a personal device.
1.Why is ChatGPT prevented being used on school devices and networks?
A.Students may misuse it.
B.It can produce strong writing.
C.No policies are set on the use of it.
D.Students don’t know how to use it.
2.What are paragraphs 4-5 mainly about?
A.How to use ChatGPT.
B.What ChatGPT is.
C.A new generation of AI systems.
D.A special written conversation.
3.What does “premises” underlined in paragraph 7 refer to?
A.Dialogues.
B.Answers.
C.Assumptions.
D.Sentences.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.What ChatGPT Is Intended for in U.S. Schools?
B.Why ChatGPT Is So Popular in U.S. Schools?
C.How ChatGPT Is Prevented in U.S. in Schools?
D.Why U.S. Schools Are Blocking ChatGPT?

1.B细节理解题。

从第二段的“monitored by a group of scientists”可知,科学家们没有和她待在一起,因此A项错误;根据第四段以及第六段的“In fact,I didn’t want to come out,”可知B项正确;根据第六段的“Flamini said she’d lost track of time after about two months in the cave,and thought she had only been in there for some 160 or 170 days.”可知C项错误;根据第六段的“She described the experience as ‘excellent,unbeatable’”可知,她感觉这次经历是“极好的,无与伦比的”,而不是“难以忍受的”,故D项错误。

2.D推理判断题。

前一句说,ChatGPT的发布几乎没有关于如何使用它的指导。

但是
程序会承认它的错误。

因此,引号里面的意思应该是指不正确的前提、假设或者条件等,因此C项正确。
