III. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A (15’)
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.
Invest in Yur Passin t Find Success
Achievements aren’t easy. In fact, yu will never feel a sense f achievement frm ding smething that is easy fr yu. The first time I climbed a muntain that was mre than 5,000 meters high, it was 41 : I was cld, I felt sick, and I culdn’t eat. But the satisfactin f persisting and achieving my gal was great. 42 , the secnd time I climbed a muntain ver 5,000 meters high, since I was better 43 , it was nt as hard. but reaching the tp this time did nt feel like as much f a (n) 44 . S the mre difficult it is t achieve the gal, the mre yu have t lve it and have a passin fr it in rder t reach it.
Passin sets apart the peple wh lve their wrk frm the peple wh 45 thrugh their wrk. It makes the pursuit f excellence 46 . It als 47 the tp achievers frm the merely gd nes. In One and Only, a dance film 48 this past summer, it is passin fr street dance that 49 the main character Chen Shu t pursue his dream and dance all the way t success.
The American psychlgist Angela Duckwrth has studied peple wh are highly 50 -- swimming champins, spelling bee champins, CEOs - and cncluded that their achievements result frm grit which is the ability t persist in spite f failure and 51 . But grit is nt just smething that sme peple are brn with and sme peple aren’t. Grit cmes frm passin. If yu want t be highly successful, yu need t find the thing that yu have a passin fr and 52 it. My advice is t try as many things as yu can as early as pssible, and find the ne thing that yu lve mst.
D yu need t be a champin swimmer r a CEO t be happy? Prbably nt. But mst f us wuld feel a lt mre 53 ding smething we have a passin fr than smething we dn’t. 54 , the natural brn artist will prbably nt d well as an accuntant. And the 55 persn wh lves numbers and analysis will prbably nt be happy cld calling (电话推销) peple and ging dr t dr as a salespersn.

ChatGPT. as a large language mdel, learned t generate human-like text based n a given cntext. It can d mst f the text-generatin tasks that invlve natural language fr cmmunicatin. Examples f these tasks are text cmpletin (e.g. email and reprt writing), paraphrasing, text summarizatin, machine translatin, and questin-answering. In additin, it can als be used fr cnversatinal AI applicatins, such as chatbts and virtual assistants.
While the ChatGPT platfrm has a wide range f applicatins related t text generatin, utputs shuld be evaluated critically and used with cautin, as they may cntain false, biased, r utdated infrmatin.
The use f hmewrk aids in higher educatin is nt new. Fr years, students have used sites like Quizlet t cut cmers as they cmplete hmewrk assignments r take nline quizzes. In respnse, teachers have had t adapt t these challenges and design assessments that can avid the use f these tls.
I view ChatGPT in the same light. Essentially, ChatGPT cllects infrmatin readily available nline t frm a respnse t a given prmpt (提示). The AI has n capacity fr critical thinking and ften misses the mark whenever a prmpt requires any critical r abstract thinking If university teachers want t avid the threat f ChatGPT, then perhaps the strictness f their assignments needs t be increased.
While there are many cncerns that ChatGPT harms academic assessment, it and better versins may frce us t shift ur curriculum t higher levels f critical thinking. Beynd this, we may discver ways it can be used t enhance the learning prcess. If students fcus n advanced aspects f their schlwrk, chatbts culd assist with mre menial (微不足道的) educatinal tasks. Fr example, sme instructrs are experimenting with new frms f student engagement, including prject-based learning. Perhaps a chatbt culd be used t brainstrm n these prjects. Learning effectiveness culd be enhanced by custmizing the learning prcess at an individual level t better match a diversified student bdy.
63. What’s the cmmn pint between ChatGPT and Quizlet accrding t the passage?
A. They shuld bth be assessed bjectively and used carefully.
B. They are bth widely used by teachers, instructrs and faculty.
C. They are bth sites prvided fr students t take an nline quiz.
D. They can bth help students take a shrtcut when ding hmewrk.
64. What’s the main drawback f ChatGPT accrding t the passage?
A. It can nly be used fr traditinal AI applicatins.
B. It’s nt accurate r unbiased enugh when generating text.
C. It cannt the level f critical thinking as high as that f humans.
D. It cannt be widely used in higher educatin r diversified learning.
65. What’s the new challenge that teachers are facing with the rise f ChatGPT?
A. They have t meet the diversified demands f students.
B. They have t deal with the cheating prblem f students.
C. They have t design mre strict and precise assignments.
D. They have t make the class mre effective thrugh advanced techs.
66. The authr hlds a (an) ________ attitude twards the emergence f ChatPT.
A. indifferentB. criticalC. bjectiveD. supprtive
