When I made the decisin t quit my full-time emplyment, I never thught that I culd get invlved in an increasing glbal trend. I had t leave my relatively high-prfile psitin fr an unexpected mve that hurt my pride and prevented me frm getting prmted. Yet, I excused my departure by saying “I wanted t spend mre time with my family”.
Curiusly after arund tw and a half years, my experience in what Americans refer t as “dwnshifting” has turned my excuse int an abslute reality. I have been transfrmed frm a passinate advcate f Linda Kelsey’s “have it all” cncept, which she has been prmting fr the past seven years in the pages f She magazine, int a wman wh is cntent t accept a little bit f everything.
I have discvered that abandning the idea f “juggling yur life” and adpting the alternative strategy f “dwnshifting” has benefits that g far beynd financial success and scial status. Nthing culd cnvince me t g back t the lifestyle Kelsey used t prmte and which I had previusly enjyed: 12-hur wrkdays, tight deadlines, the terrifying pressure f ffice plitics, and the demand f being a parent n “quality time”.
After the widespread layffs (裁员) brught n by cst-cutting in the late 1980s, America started t mve tward a simpler, less materialistic way f life as a respnse t the ecnmic dwnturn. In America, simplifying ne’s life is frequently dne fr financial reasns, but in Britain, at least amng the middle class I knw, we have different mtivatins fr ding s. Fr the wmen f my generatin wh were encuraged t keep juggling, dwnshifting is nt s much a search fr a mythical (虚无的) gd life—grwing yur wn rganic vegetables, and risking turning int ne—as a persnal recgnitin f yur limitatins.

Like mst nerds wh read science fictin, I’ve kept wndering hw sciety will greet true artificial intelligence, if and when it arrives. Will we panic? Ignre it and g abut ur daily lives? Hence, it’s been fascinating t watch the Twittersphere try t make sense f ChatGPT, a new cutting-edge A.I. chatbt pened fr testing at the end f 2022. ChatGPT — which stands fr “generative pre-trained transfrmer”— landed with a splash. In five days, mre than a millin peple signed up t test it.
In recent years, thugh a few A.I. tls have gtten gd at ding narrw and well-defined tasks, like writing marketing cpy, they still tend t be weak when taken utside their cmfrt znes. But ChatGPT feels different. Smarter. Mre flexible. It can write jkes and cllege-level essays. It can als guess at medical diagnses, and even seems gd at answering the types f pen-ended analytical questins which frequently appear n schl assignments.
The technlgy that pwers ChatGPT isn’t, strictly speaking, new. It’s based n what the cmpany calls “GPT-3.5,” an upgraded versin f GPT-3 in 2020. While the existence f a highly capable linguistic superbrain might be ld news t A.I. researchers, it’s the first time such a pwerful tl has been made available t the general public thrugh a free, easy-t-use web interface.
Unlike Ggle, ChatGPT desn’t crawl the web fr infrmatin n current events, and its knwledge is restricted t things it learned befre 2021. Since ChatGPT training data includes billins f examples f human pinin, representing every reasnable view, it’s als, in sme sense, mderate by design. Withut specific prmpting, fr example, it’s hard t cax (诱导) a strng pinin ut f ChatGPT abut plitical debates. Usually, yu’ll get a fair summary f what each side believes.
8. Hw did the public initially respnd t ChatGPT?
A. Peple wrried abut this new technlgy.
B. Many peple fund it hard t understand ChatGPT.
C. A number f peple culdn’t wait t register fr a try.
D. Millins f peple were ignrant f this new A.I. chatbt.
9. What can we learn frm paragraph 2?
A. ChatGPT is a typical A.I. tl used fr specified tasks.
B. A.I. apps prvide perfect answers t analytical questins.
C. ChatGPT helps dctrs with serius medical diagnses.
D Hmewrk might nt be a prblem fr ChatGPT users.
10. In which aspect is ChatGPT different frm the GPT-3?
A. Peple can gain access t it free f charge.
B. Linguistic researchers speak highly f it.
C. It is welcmed by A.I. researchers with enthusiasm.
D. It is the first pwerful tl pen t the general public.
11. What’s the text mainly abut?
A. The future f ChatGPT.
B. The brilliance f ChatGPT.
C. The develpment f ChatGPT.
D. The arguments abut ChatGPT.

Ben Lamm, the chief executive f the cmpany, said they were raising a further 150 millin dllars t pursue the research n the dd. He pinted ut that it culd assist cnservatin effrts fr many ther threatened species arund the wrld, as it wuld develp techniques that culd allw scientists t detect and preserve key features in thse existing species that culd help them adapt in a changing climate.
Prf. Ewan Birney frm Eurpean Mlecular Bilgy Labratry, wh was nt invlved with Clssal’s wrk, said it wuld be “very, very challenging” t recreate the dd genme. He added, “I’ve n idea whether the prject will wrk as they claim, but the questin is nt just ‘can yu d this’, but ‘shuld yu d it?’ … I’m nt sure what purpse it serves, and whether this is really the best distributin f resurces. We shuld be saving the species that we have befre they g extinct.”

A. It is a bird that is nly unique t Mauritius.
B. The research n it has raised cnflicting pinins.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Plice Outpst Lake is as far suth as yu can g in Canada. In fact, next t the lake are the prtected wetlands, where sngbirds, ducks, and Canada geese glided by n the breeze, tuching dwn briefly n the water’s surface befre flapping (振翅) their way back up int the sky.
Standing at the lake’s edge, my cusin, Allan, and I cast ur fishing lines separately nt the smth-as-glass water. Dwn the shreline was Allan’s father, my uncle Rick. He liked t fish alne, away frm distractins, nise, and ther peple.
Allan shuted, “Dad, where shuld I stand?”
Uncle Rick pressed his finger t his lips, pinted t a shady spt by a large rck where he had cast his line and shk his head gently.
“He wants us t be quiet r else we wn’t catch any fish.” I whispered.
“Why d I have t be s quiet?” asked Allan. “All thse birds are making mre nise than I ever culd!”
I ignred him, pulling back n my rd gently and squinting int the glare f the sun. Out f the crner f my eye, I caught a glimpse f a few great nrthern lns (潜鸟) gathering tgether nt far frm the shreline. What were they ding there? Lns usually travel alne, but here were five f them in a cluster. Maybe it was a family? Just then ne ln, making a lud painful cry, swam away frm the grup, tward me.
“Allan! Cme here. Nw!”
Allan laid his fishing rd dwn n the dirty sand, darting tward me.
“Cme here. Take a lk at that ln. It’s swimming tward us, nt far away frm us. It’s trying t get ur attentin.”
The ln finally stpped in the shallw water near shre, nt ten feet away frm us. It was s clse that we culd see its rund red eyes. Strangely, the bird’s wings were held tight against its bdy.
Wading int the water and getting clser t the ln, we bth saw a fishing line wrapped tightly arund its neck and a shiny red hk (鱼钩) in its bdy. Left like this, the ln culdn’t fly r fish r survive. It was asking us t help!
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“G fetch the scissrs frm the fishing bx,” I urged Allan.
