Greetings from Dubai.I am here with my family for a wonderful holiday.Dubai is an amazing place and I have just come back from a tour of the most fantastic hotel in the world，the Burj Al Arab.People say it is the only seven﹣star hotel in the world.
The hotel stands on a man﹣made island.It was once the tallest hotel in the world and is an amazing building.It looks like a very beautiful Arab dhow（独桅帆船）heading out to sea.
Inside the hotel almost everything is decorated with gold leaf and all the floors are marble （大理石）.We couldn't see any of the bedrooms，but I can imagine that they would be lovely too.One of the hotel's restaurants makes you feel like you are under the sea，because there is a wall﹣to﹣ceiling aquarium（水族馆）.There is another restaurant at the top of the hotel with the most amazing views.
The tour guide told us that the hotel cost ＄650 million to build，and the most expensive room costs ＄28，000 per night.He also told us that lots of famous people had stayed there.Roger Federer and Andre Agassi even played a tennis match on the roof!
Well，maybe one day we will get the chance to stay there!Until then I thought you would like this postcard of the amazing Burj Al Arab.
Much love，
Helen

Waste pollutes the environment，hurt people's health and causes animals to die.We can't make money at the cost of the environment.We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations（一代人）.
China is getting really serious about waste now.

China also tries to put waste into good use.One example is the waste electricity（电子）factories.They burn waste to make electricity in a green way.Less pollution will get into the environment.

The e﹣book，which is named The Wise Little Squirrel：A Tale of Saving and Investing，has made Schickler less than ＄100.While that may not sound like much，it is enough to make him want to create other books using the program."I could see people making a whole career（职业）out of this，"said Schickler.There were over 200 e﹣books in Amazon's Kindle store that say ChatGPT is a writer or co﹣writer.And the number is rising daily.But because of the nature of ChatGPT and many writers'failure to admit（承认）that they have used it，it is nearly impossible to count how many e﹣books may be written by AI.
Human writers are worried that ChatGPT﹣created books might hurt the writing and publishing industry.Mary Rasenberger is the CEO of the Authors Guild，a writer's group.She said，"This is something we really need to be worried about，these books will flood the market and a lot of writers are going to be out of work."

35．（6分）A growing number of people are using ChatGPT，an artificial intelligence （人工智能）program，to create books for sale.
Until recently，Brett Schickler never imagined he could be a published writer.But after learning about the ChatGPT artificial intelligence program，Schickler decided that he had a good chance."The idea of writing a book finally seemed possible，"said Schickler，a salesman in Rochester，New York."I thought I could do this."Using the AI program，Schickler created a 30﹣page children's e﹣book in a few hours.He offered it for sale in January through Amazon.
The e﹣book，which is named The Wise Little Squirrel：A Tale of Saving and Investing，has made Schickler less than ＄100.While that may not sound like much，it is enough to make him want to create other books using the program."I could see people making a whole career（职业）out of this，"said Schickler.There were over 200 e﹣books in Amazon's Kindle store that say ChatGPT is a writer or co﹣writer.And the number is rising daily.But because of the nature of ChatGPT and many writers'failure to admit（承认）that they have used it，it is nearly impossible to count how many e﹣books may be written by AI.
Human writers are worried that ChatGPT﹣created books might hurt the writing and publishing industry.Mary Rasenberger is the CEO of the Authors Guild，a writer's group.She said，"This is something we really need to be worried about，these books will flood the market and a lot of writers are going to be out of work."

It's an artificial intelligence program.
（2）What are some human writers worried about？

（3）Do you think ChatGPT will replace（代替）human writers？Why or why not？
No，I don't think so.Because human writers are more creative than artificial intelligence forever.

【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段A growing number of people are using ChatGPT，an artificial intelligence （人工智能）program，to create books for sale.（越来越多的人使用人工智能程序ChatGPT来制作出书销售。）可知ChatGPT是人工智能程序。故答案为It's an artificial intelligence program.

（3）主观表达题。题目问ChatGPT是否会取代人类作家，为什么或为什么不？根据自己的想法去表达，并说明原因，答案不唯一，我认为人类作家永远都会比人工智能更有创造力。故答案为No，I don't think so.Because human writers are more creative than artificial intelligence forever.

Greetings from Dubai.I am here with my family for a wonderful holiday.Dubai is an amazing place and I have just come back from a tour of the most fantastic hotel in the world，the Burj Al Arab.People say it is the only seven﹣star hotel in the world.
The hotel stands on a man﹣made island.It was once the tallest hotel in the world and is an amazing building.It looks like a very beautiful Arab dhow（独桅帆船）heading out to sea.
Inside the hotel almost everything is decorated with gold leaf and all the floors are marble （大理石）.We couldn't see any of the bedrooms，but I can imagine that they would be lovely too.One of the hotel's restaurants makes you feel like you are under the sea，because there is a wall﹣to﹣ceiling aquarium（水族馆）.There is another restaurant at the top of the hotel with the most amazing views.
The tour guide told us that the hotel cost ＄650 million to build，and the most expensive room costs ＄28，000 per night.He also told us that lots of famous people had stayed there.Roger Federer and Andre Agassi even played a tennis match on the roof!
Well，maybe one day we will get the chance to stay there!Until then I thought you would like this postcard of the amazing Burj Al Arab.
Much love，
Helen

Waste pollutes the environment，hurt people's health and causes animals to die.We can't make money at the cost of the environment.We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations（一代人）.

China also tries to put waste into good use.One example is the waste electricity（电子）factories.They burn waste to make electricity in a green way.Less pollution will get into the environment.

The e﹣book，which is named The Wise Little Squirrel：A Tale of Saving and Investing，has made Schickler less than ＄100.While that may not sound like much，it is enough to make him want to create other books using the program."I could see people making a whole career（职业）out of this，"said Schickler.There were over 200 e﹣books in Amazon's Kindle store that say ChatGPT is a writer or co﹣writer.And the number is rising daily.But because of the nature of ChatGPT and many writers'failure to admit（承认）that they have used it，it is nearly impossible to count how many e﹣books may be written by AI.
Human writers are worried that ChatGPT﹣created books might hurt the writing and publishing industry.Mary Rasenberger is the CEO of the Authors Guild，a writer's group.She said，"This is something we really need to be worried about，these books will flood the market and a lot of writers are going to be out of work."

35．（6分）A growing number of people are using ChatGPT，an artificial intelligence （人工智能）program，to create books for sale.
Until recently，Brett Schickler never imagined he could be a published writer.But after learning about the ChatGPT artificial intelligence program，Schickler decided that he had a good chance."The idea of writing a book finally seemed possible，"said Schickler，a salesman in Rochester，New York."I thought I could do this."Using the AI program，Schickler created a 30﹣page children's e﹣book in a few hours.He offered it for sale in January through Amazon.
The e﹣book，which is named The Wise Little Squirrel：A Tale of Saving and Investing，has made Schickler less than ＄100.While that may not sound like much，it is enough to make him want to create other books using the program."I could see people making a whole career（职业）out of this，"said Schickler.There were over 200 e﹣books in Amazon's Kindle store that say ChatGPT is a writer or co﹣writer.And the number is rising daily.But because of the nature of ChatGPT and many writers'failure to admit（承认）that they have used it，it is nearly impossible to count how many e﹣books may be written by AI.
Human writers are worried that ChatGPT﹣created books might hurt the writing and publishing industry.Mary Rasenberger is the CEO of the Authors Guild，a writer's group.She said，"This is something we really need to be worried about，these books will flood the market and a lot of writers are going to be out of work."
（1）What is ChatGPT？
It's an artificial intelligence program.
（2）What are some human writers worried about？
ChatGPT﹣created books might hurt the writing and publishing industry.
（3）Do you think ChatGPT will replace（代替）human writers？Why or why not？
No，I don't think so.Because human writers are more creative than artificial intelligence forever.
