ChatGPT is back in the headlines. Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.
On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT- 3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.
But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code classic games like Tetris (俄罗斯方块) in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent.
GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming Duolingo Max function (功能). Users can learn language by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language.
There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 still struggles to get completely correct answers, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes “hallucinates”, meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true.
34．What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A．GPT-3.5 cannot understand pictures.
B．GPT-4 can respond in a fun way.
C．GPT-4 can tell if a phone is recharging.
D．GPT-4 can create funny pictures.
35．The underlined phrase “in a matter of minutes” in paragraph 3 shows that
A．games like Tetris are easy to code.
B．GPT-4 can code games like Tetris quickly.
C．hand-made drawings help GPT 4 work better.
D．anyone can code games using GPT-4.
36．What does the underline word “assistant” mean in paragraph 4
A．图片 B．相机 C．助手 D．机器
37．Which of the following is the best way to divide the passage into three parts
A．① / ②③④ / ⑤ B．①② / ③④ / ⑤
C．① / ②③ / ④⑤ D．① / ② / ③④⑤

At that time, other scientists hardly believed hybrid rice had much importance. But Yuan and his team worked on it every day. 41 At last, in 1973, they grew a new type of hybrid rice. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and even in bad weather. 42 People won’t have to stay hungry any more.
