26、A CHATBOT developed by tech company OpenAI can find and fix bugs in software just as well as standard machine learning approaches can and beats them when aided by follow-up questions. A number of tools exist that use artificial intelligence to check programming code to ensure there are no mistakes.
Dominik Sobania at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, and his colleagues sought to see how well ChatGPT could do this compared with other AI-powered coding support tools. They first asked ChatGPT to answer questions taken from the QuixBug benchmark (基准) dataset, which is a series of small but challenging programming problems. For example, they gave the AI a small snippet (代码段) of code and asked: “Does this program have a bug? How do you fix it?” ChatGPT managed to correctly answer 19 out of 40 questions put to it—comparable with two other deep learning-based code fixing approaches, called CoCoNuT and Codex. That roughly 50 percent success rate was considered state-of-the-art for such tools before ChatGPT.
The researchers then utilized ChatGPT’s conversational interface (界面) to ask follow-up questions that a user would pose if they tried to insert the corrected code into a programming tool. This approach highlighted where ChatGPT’s solution was incorrect and meant that in 31 of the 40 questions, ChatGPT solved the issue. “That was really surprising, because we haven’t seen it before,” says Sobania. “That’s something new.” Sobania expects ChatGPT or similar systems to be adopted as an additional trouble shooting tool for programmers in the future.
This is a good idea, but human oversight is still needed, says Alan Woodward at the University of Surrey in the UK. “We don’t want to rely totally on the AI as it is not errorless.”
【1】How did Dominik and his workmates carry out the test about how well ChatGPT works?
A.By analyzing data.
B.By making a comparison.
C.By making a survey.
D.By referring to another study.
【2】What does the underlined word “utilized” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Employed.
B.Borrowed.
C.Introduced.
D.Developed.
【3】What can we know about ChatGPT according to the passage?
A.ChatGPT’s solution about the highlighted approach was correct.
B.ChatGPT successfully answered 50 percent of the follow-up questions.
C.ChatGPT’s splendid performance made the researchers surprised.
D.ChatGPT is a totally reliable tool for people around the world.
【4】Which word best describes Alan Woodward’s attitude towards the application of AI?
A.Approval.
B.Subjective.
C.Objective.
D.Indifferent.
27、Eating healthily can help you lose weight and have more energy. It can also improve your mood (心情) and reduce your risk of disease. Yet despite these benefits, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle can be challenging. Here are ways to stick to a healthy diet.
Practice mindful eating.
【1】 Take time to enjoy your food and appreciate its ability to nourish (滋养) you. Adopting a mindful eating approach can help you achieve a better relationship with foods and may reduce binge eating.

29、Here are the secrets to making a good impression.
Master the handshake
A handshake is not just a matter of holding somebody’s hands. It’s an important part of presenting yourself. On the street, in the meeting room, square your shoulders to people you meet. 【1】. A handshake like that shows that you’re paying respect to the person you’re talking to, and as science has confirmed, giving respect gets respect.
Keep yourself physically relaxed
【2】. For example, if you do the standard “power pose” of keeping your shoulders open and arms wide, that will tell your body to produce the chemicals needed to make you look and feel more confident.
Show your confidence with humility (谦逊)
Gaining respect requires balancing confidence with humility. You need enough self-confidence to command (控制) the respect of others. 【3】. Humility is the path towards earning respect, while self-confidence is the path towards commanding it.
【4】
According to a research, talking about oneself stimulates (刺激) the same brain regions as a good meal. Therefore, when you let people talk about themselves, they are more likely to accept you and have a more favorable impression of you.
No matter how you’re presenting yourself, you need to be aware of the audience you’re about to impress. 【5】.
A.Have a good meal
B.Let people talk about themselves
C.Smile, keep eye contact and hold hands firmly
D.However, it needs to be balanced with humility

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box… Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.
What’s the point of reading if we all forget what we read sooner or later? Being a liberal arts (文科) teacher, more often than not, I will find myself confronted with this sort of question. And knowing that I am not in a good position to 【1】 this question which can be simple and hard at the same time, I always quote what William Johnson Cory has written in a letter in which he articulates (清晰表达) the purpose of education. From my perspective, his words can also be taken as a 【2】 argument for reading. The full quotation goes:
“At school you are 【3】 not so much in acquiring knowledge as in making mental efforts under criticism. A certain amount of knowledge you can indeed with average faculties acquire so as to retain; nor need you 【4】 the hours you spent on much that is forgotten, for the 【5】 of lost knowledge at least protects you from many illusions. But you go to a great school not so much for knowledge as for arts and habits: for the habit of attention, for the art of entering 【6】 into another person’s thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure (批判) and refutation (反驳), for the art if indicating assent (附议) or dissent (异议) in gradated terms, for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy, for the art of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination, for mental courage, and for mental soberness (清醒).”
Besides, even though we eventually forget most of what we read, there can still be 【7】 in the moments of reading a particular book in a particular place. What I remember most about Hemingway’s short-story 【8】 Men Without Women is the persistent cough I had due to a heavy cold, which at that time did give me a strong feeling that I would also like to die for my beloved.
So the purpose of reading is not to memorize 【9】 everything we read but to keep reading. After all, if there are no 【10】 opinions on the idea that we are what we eat then we are also what we read.
32、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。
The Real Champion
I like running and for me, success was winning every race I participated in. My classmates called me Incredible Dash. One day, there was a sporting event planned in my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in almost every race there was. A large number of people gathered to watch. Crowds were eager to see the running race because it was the most exciting event. When the race for 400m started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first in the race and received a big round of applause. While it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of my world.
In the race for 200m, I ran full speed and finished the race first once again. The crowd gave thundering claps to me. I jumped all over the ground and was not bothered to give handshakes to my fellow racers.
Then came the race for 100m. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys quit the race except one, a boy named Matt who was invited as an honorary runner. Matt was born with low vision but he was a determined participant of many sports. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking whether he would like to quit too. I, wild with joy, thought I would win the champion without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to complete the event. I sniffed (嗤之以鼻), “It is a waste of time. I bet he even doesn’t figure out where the finish line is.”
The race of two started. On hearing the starting gun, both Matt and I ran to the finish line, Soon I sped up and left Matt behind. Just 30 meters before arriving at the finish line, I was expecting to receive the applause for the third time when I suffered a leg spasm (抽筋).
