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 21 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.
22 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 legitimate (legal) uses in article preparatin have already led t it 23 (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 24 abslutely clear that we will nt permit ChatGPT t be an authr r t have its text 25 (use) in papers,” Thrp said.
Leading scientific jurnals require authrs t sign a frm 26 (declare) that they are accuntable 27 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 28 (rely) n AI prgrams t prepare literature reviews r summarize their findings, the prper cntext f the wrk and the deep scrutiny(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, prvided that full details 29 (reveal) in the manuscript.
Elsevier, which publishes abut 2,800 jurnals, including Cell and the Lancet, has taken a similar stance t Springer-Nature, 30 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.

Self-Silencing Is Making Wmen Sick
In the late 1980s, Harvard-trained psychlgist Dana Jack identified a recurring theme amng female patients suffering frm depressin: a tendency t self-silence, defined as “the tendency t engage in uncntrllable caretaking, pleasing the ther, and restrictin f self-expressin in relatinships in an attempt t achieve intimacy and meet relatinal needs.” He fund that this learned behavir, 31 rted in gender nrms, was linked t an increased risk f depressin.
Since then, cnsiderable evidence has revealed that female self-silencing isn’t just tied t psychlgical issues like depressin and eating disrders, but als t physical illness. Mst wrryingly, it has als been linked t higher risk f premature death. This was true even when 32 such as age, bld pressure, and smking were taken int accunt.
When wmen push their feelings dwn and 33 their needs aside, their health suffers. But it can be difficult fr wmen t d therwise in cultures that 34 these self-silencing practices. Mms are praised fr being painstakingly selfless t the pint f self-sacrifice. These 35 standards establish a vicius (恶性的) cycle. Fr many wmen, it feels easier—beneficial, even—t silence their needs at the expense f their wn health, rather than 36 against the prevailing cultural current.
In his best-selling bk, The Myth f Nrmal, physician and authr Gabr Mate writes that many f ur sciety’s mst “nrmalized ways f being” are, in fact, 37 txic. “That ‘nt listening t self’ in rder t priritize thers’ needs is a significant surce f the health-impairing rles wmen 38 ,” Mate explains. “It is amng the medically 39 but extremely harmful ways in which ur sciety’s ‘nrmal’ impses a majr health cst n wmen.”
T reshape the virtues f wmanhd, a new “ 40 ” needs t emerge—ne in which we hnr ur emtins, priritize ur needs, and actively cmmunicate ur bundaries. Such a shift requires change n bth the individual and scietal level, and will by n means be easy. But it’s certainly wrth it—after all, wmen’s lives depend n it.
III.Reading Cmprehensin (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分)
Sectin A
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
Restaurant and htel bsses have had a tugh year. Sme 700, 000 hspitality wrkers threw in the 41 n average each mnth in the past year. Bars, cafes and restaurants are 1.3m wrkers 42 relative t the 16.9m emplyed befre cvid-19. The quite rate in leisure and hspitality jumped by a percentage pint, t 6.4%. 43 frm the Omicrn Variant may make matters wrse; as cases increased greatly in December, restaurant ftfall (客流) fell 44
As in ther industries, wrkers in hspitality are leaving fr varius reasns, frm fear f infectin t 45 pprtunities elsewhere. But ne big mtive is burnut. Surveys find that 46 stress is a grwing cncern acrss the labur market, but dissatisfactin is especially high in service rles, where hybrid wrk is nt pssible. Data shwed that emplyees 47 the hspitality sectr as ne f the wrst fr wrk-life balance. Wrkers reprt that new tasks such as dealing with angry custmers and 48 health mandates (指令) have added t the burden.
Wrk in restaurants and htels can be physically 49 . prly paid and unpredictable. Unlike white-cllar wrkers, wh suffer frm needing t be cnstantly available, service wrkers burn ut as a result f uncertain 50 and a lack f cntrl ver time, says Ashley Whillans f Harvard Business Schl. Ian Ck f Visier, a human-resurces-analytics firm, says that time ff during lck-dwns gave emplyees an pprtunity t 51 their relatinship with “fragile and lw paid wrk.”
Firms have 52 t respnd. Many fd and accmmdatin businesses have raised wages - by an average f 8. 1% year n year in the third quarter, the highest increase n recrd. 53 , that many nt be enugh. In ne pll f hspitality ver half said higher pay will nt tempt them back by itself.
Daniel Zha, an ecnmist At Glass-dr, fresees a permanent reductin t the hspitality wrkfrce. As sme wrkers quite, thse wh remain must pick up the slack, leading t mre stress. This 54 gives birth t mre exits, and s n. 55 an ageing ppulatin, with decreasing numbers f yung peple prepared t wrk in kitchens r sweep htel crridrs, and hspitality businesses may be cntending with (难应对) blue-cllar burnut fr years t cme.

Sectin B
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)
Amng all the different types f jurney that peple undertake there are als thse f a spiritual nature. Sme f the trips we d in ur lives are purely fr pleasure, sme are meant t make us strnger, smetimes we travel t explre and learn, and in all f these undertakings we grw and becme wiser.
There is a lt we can learn frm the land that surrunds us and the best way t acquire that knwledge is by traveling and experiencing. This ancient abriginal initiatin ritual invlves exactly this: a lng spiritual hike acrss the native land. Althugh widely knwn as “Walkabut,” in later years the ritual has been referred t as “temprary mbility,” because the frmer is ften used as an insulting term in Australian culture.
A yung man n Walkabut
Histrically speaking, the walkabut is a ceremny f passage in which yung (adlescent) Abriginal Australians undertake a jurney that will help “transfrm” them int adults. The jurney is usually made between the ages f 10 and 16. During this jurney which can last fr up t six mnths, the individual is required t live and survive all alne in the wilderness.
This is nt an easy thing t d, especially nt fr teenagers. That is why nly thse wh have prven themselves mentally and physically ready are allwed t prceed with the walkabut. Only the elders f the grup decide whether it is time r nt fr the child t d it. The children are nt cmpletely unprepared fr the jurney. During the years befre the walkabut, the elders instruct them and give them advice abut the ceremny and adult life in general; they have been passed the “secrets” f the tribe, the knwledge abut their wrld.
Abriginal wman
Thse wh are initiated in the walkabut are als decrated with bdy paint and rnaments. Smetimes they are marked with a permanent symbl n their bdies. In sme cases, a tth is remved frm the muth, r the nse r ears f the initiated are pierced. Traditinal walk abut clthes include nly a simple lin clth and nthing mre.
During a walkabut, a yung persn can smetimes travel a distance f ver a 1, 000miles. In rder t survive this lng hike, the participant in the walkabut must be able t make their wn shelter and must be capable f btaining fd and water fr themselves.
That means he needs t hunt, catch fish, and als recgnize and use edible and healing plants. The initiated yungster must learn t identify plants such as bush tmates, Illawarra plums, quandngs, lilly-pillies, Muntari berries, wattle seeds, Kakadu plums, and bunya nuts.
56．What can be referred frm the first tw paragraphs f the passage?
A．Australians like t engage in all kinds f travel.B．Peple can gain knwledge thrugh travel.
C．Travel is usually purely fr pleasure.D．Walkabut is a lng spiritual jurney.
57．What d we knw abut the yung Abriginal Australians?
A．All yung Australians are required t live alne in the wilderness.
B．The difficulties they experienced in hiking turned them int adults.
C．Walkabut shuld nly be dne if they are mentally and physically prepared.
D．Walkabut is an unprepared test fr the yung Abriginal Australians.
58．Accrding t the passage, what skill des a persn need t acquire in the walkabut?
A．Identifying directins.B．Preserving physical strength.
C．Planting plants.D．Hunting and fishing.
59．Which f the fllwing ptins is true abut walkabut?
A．Only peple wh have experienced trture are qualified t the walkabut.
B．Wmen must decrate themselves with bdy paint and rnaments.
C．T survive, the participants need t acquire certain survival skills.
D．Native wmen are nt required t participate in the walkabut.

(C)
It has always been assumed that nise is a prblem unique t animals. But a new study by Ali Akbar has revealed that plants suffer t.
That plants can be damaged indirectly by nise pllutin has never been in dubt. Since mst flwering species depend upn pllinatrs (授粉者) and mst fruit-bearing species need animals t spread arund their seeds, it is bvius that if these animal partners are harmed by nise then their btanical cunterparts will d badly, t. What has remained unknwn is whether r nt plants themselves suffer directly frm nise pllutin.
Scientists have previusly assumed that plants may be able t sense sund waves as they are struck by them. A number f experiments have cnfirmed this in recent years — plants heavily expsed t ultrasund in the lab have shwn a range f negative respnses including the expressin f stress-related genes, slwed grwth and reduced develpment f seeds.
Yet attacking plants with ultrasund is nt the same as grwing them in the presence f actual traffic nise. T this end, Ali Akbar decided t set up an experiment t study precisely this questins.
Wrking with a team f clleagues, he grew mariglds (孔雀草) and sage (鼠尾草) in his lab that are cmmnly fund in urban envirnments. The plants were divided int tw grups after getting mature. One grup was expsed t 73 decibels f traffic nise. The ther grup was left t grw in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken frm the yungest fully expanded leaves n every plant in the experiment and studied.
Nne f the plants expsed t the traffic nise did well. Analysis f their leaves revealed that all f them were suffering. The team fund that a range f hrmnes(荷尔蒙) nrmally assciated with healthy grwth and develpment in plants were present at significantly reduced levels in the plants expsed t the nise. Tw stress hrmnes, which are nrmally prduced t prevent insect attacks and deal with salty sil r very cld temperatures, were elevated.
Ali Akbar’s findings make it clear that thugh plants lack ears, the nise f traffic still bthers them enugh t trigger dramatic stress respnses that are nt much different t thse that wuld be fund in plants expsed t drught, highly cncentrated salt r heavy metals in their sil.
The next questin is whether all nise pllutin affects all species in the same way. The natural wrld is by n means silent. Whether sme plant species have evlved cping mechanisms, which might ne day be cllected and transferred int urban-living species, is a mystery wrth explring.
63．What did scientists believe in the past?
A．Nise is a prblem directly facing bth animals and plants.
B．Plants can be affected by nise in an indirect way.
C．Animal partners can d harm t their btanical partners.
D．Sund waves can damage plants because they have senses.
64．What did Ali Akbar want t cnfirm in their experiment?
A．Ultrasund is similar t traffic nise in that it desn’t harm plants.
B．Plants expsed t ultrasund exhibit negative signs f grwth.
C．Traffic nise causes plants t grw unhealthily and slwly.
D．Plant leaves cntain hrmnes dealing with a harsh envirnment.
65．Which f the fllwing statements is true?
A．Plants grwing in silence have a reduced level f hrmnes
B．Plants expsed t nise respnd differently frm thse in drught.
C．Different nise pllutin has the same effect n all species.
D．An increase in stress hrmnes in plants means they are in hardship.
66．What can we infer frm the passage?
A．Sme plants may nt necessarily be harmed by the sund in nature.
B．Sme plants have surely develped a methd t cpe with traffic nise.
C．Unban-living species can be engineered t grw well in the natural wrld.
D．The silence in nature prmtes the develpment f nise cping mechanisms.

The Dance f Life
Befre children learn t talk, and withut having seen anyne dance, they express happiness thrugh simple rhythmic mvements r what we later recgnize as simple dances. 67 There are birds that actually have grup dances: circling, bwing, advancing, and retreating in unisn.
Nevertheless, it is nly human beings wh have adapted dance t therapeutic purpses. Dance as therapy ges back a lng time. Primitive peple first danced by themselves instinctively and fund, after a while, that repeated rhythmic mvements prduced a gd feeling. 68 This was the birth f dance therapy.
69 It was used fr a wide variety f purpses and n different ccasins: religius ceremnies, war dances, hunting dances, rain dances, planting and harvesting dances, marriage and funeral dances. Sadly, tday, many “advance” industrial scieties, such as the U. S. , have lst many f the functins cnnected t these lder dances. They have been replaced, fr example, with rave dancing which, at its best, invlves shaking yur bdy at a rave r nightclub.
But the “primitive” use f dance as therapy has recently seen a huge revival. 70 There are nearly tw millin website fr dance therapy n the Internet, and dance therapy grups arund the wrld cmbine pleasure with health and well-being. Peple wh may be put ff by therapies based n weird philsphies will readily take t dancing every Saturday night. Dance therapy nwadays, in fact, is taken very seriusly by bth alternative and cnventinal medical practitiners. It wuld seem that the “dance f life” cntinues t mve us all.

Cmmunicating science
One f the majr prblems fr scientists lies in cmmunicating the value f research t nn-specialists that matter:plicymakers and the general public. In recent years, scientific rganisatins have cme a lng way in develping ways t make science mre accessible t nn-specialist grups.
The develpment f blgs has helped substantially in bringing science clser t the public. Accrding t Wikipedia, the ScienceBlgs netwrk is nw ranked 37th amng the mst authritative blgs wrldwide, with tw f its sectins having wn weblg awards. Released frm editrial restrictins, science blggers generally fcus n areas f science that they are bth passinate and knwledgeable abut. They ften write abut science in an accessible, lively manner, and it is this that perhaps mst attracts members f the public. Ed Yng’s Nt Exactly Rcket Science, fr instance, is filled with the writer’s enthusiasm and dwn-t-earth attitude twards the subject. His chatty, yuthful style appeals t a wide range f readers.
Televisin has als bsted the image f science. Early pineers such as Jacques Custeau, whse beautifully filmed dcumentaries pened up the ceans t millins, quickly realised the ptential f TV t make science cme alive fr viewers. Other science disciplines have eagerly fllwed suit. Entertaining presenters carry ut daring experiments r explre amazing scientific phenmena in rder t attract attentin. Celebrities such as Brian Cx, nce famus fr playing music in D:Ream, have als been instrumental in bringing science int ppular culture. Nw wrking in the field f physics, Brian is presenter f the BBC TV series Wnders f the Slar System. His backgrund means that his face is nt nly well knwn t yunger viewers but is als cnsidered cl. Other rganisatins have been using the pwer f visual media thrugh the internet. Fr example, SciVee ffers scientists vide services t create nline presentatins f their research.
Nevertheless, despite this prgress, cmmunicatin remains ne f science’s biggest bstacle. Perhaps it is time that universities addressed this prblem, and thught abut adding cmmunicatins training t the curriculum.
