In early 2021, I hit a rut in my studies. As a dctral candidate at the University f Chicag in Illinis, I wrked t design safer, mre effective materials fr vaccine delivery. Althugh I had been prductive early in my graduate career, my lng hurs and hard wrk were n lnger translating int success in the labratry, and I felt hpeless abut achieving my gals. Smething had t change.
As I began t search fr the cause f my struggles, I became increasingly aware that my “quiet time” at the lab bench — fr instance, when I was running clumns r experiments — was anything but. Instead f thinking abut science, I was watching televisin r interacting with scial media n my smartphne. Althugh I culd cver up this inefficiency with lnger hurs, my wrk felt chatic (混乱的) and disrganized. I wuld cme hme frm a lng day in the lab and respnd t e-mails r messages ver dinner r in bed. This all came t a head last summer, when my inability t balance wrk and life led me t seek help frm the university’s student mental-health services.
Thrugh a cmbinatin f cnsultatin and persnal reflectin, I came t understand my prblem. T regain my fcus, I chse t reduce my cnnectivity by using a basic mbile phne withut an Internet cnnectin during wrk hurs, and remving unnecessary apps frm my smartphne when I did use it.
Underscring the addictive nature f smartphnes, I experienced symptms f withdrawal when I first did this. With time, hwever, I began t make practical use f my quiet time. I started reading papers during lng experiments, and develped a habit f writing in my dwn time.
Perhaps mst imprtantly, I have felt my anxiety decrease and my prductivity and creativity imprve dramatically, trading my chatic wrk-life relatinship fr ne with clearer bundaries and plenty f new scientific ideas. Nw, even when I d carry my smartphne, I feel less frced t check fr e-mails r messages, and can cncentrate mre clsely n whatever task is at hand.

When the cmpany OpenAI develped its new artificial intelligence (AI) prgram, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educatrs began t wrry. ChatGPT culd create text that seemed like a human wrte it. Hw culd teachers discver whether students were using language created by an AI chatbt t cheat n a writing task?
As a linguist wh studies the effects f technlgy n hw peple read, write and think, I believe there are ther mre pressing cncerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, mre generally, threatens student writing skills, the value f writing as a prcess, and the imprtance f regarding writing as a tl fr thinking.
As part f my research n the effects f AI n human writing, I surveyed yung adults in the U.S. abut sme issues related t thse effects. One participant said that at sme pint if yu depend n predictive text, yu’re ging t lse yur spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rm” int a Ggle search and yu’re given a list f chices like “Was Rme built in a day”. Type “ple” int a text message and yu’re ffered “please” and “plenty”. These tls cmplete ur sentences autmatically, giving us little chance t think abut ur spelling, and cntinuusly asking us t fllw their suggestins.
Evan Selinger, a philspher, wrried that predictive texting reduces the pwer f writing as a frm f mental activity and persnal expressin. “By encuraging us nt t think t deeply abut ur wrds, predictive technlgy may change hw we deal with each ther,” Selinger wrte. “We give thers mre algrithms (算法) and less f urselves. Autmatin can stp us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymre.”
I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat t humans’ mtivatin t write. The bt respnded: “There will always be a demand fr creative, riginal cntent that requires the unique viewpint f a human writer.” It cntinued: “Writing serves many purpses beynd just the creatin f cntent, such as self-expressin, cmmunicatin, and persnal grwth, which can cntinue t encurage peple t write even if certain types f writing can be autmated.”
I was glad t find the prgram had seemingly admitted its limitatins.
8. What is the authr’s main cncern abut ChatGPT?
A. Whether it will lead t students’ cheating.
B. Whether it will shape students’ writing style.
C. Hw students will make use f it at schl.
D. What effects it will have n students’ writing.
9. What will predictive technlgy d t us accrding t Evan Selinger?
A. Give us mre creative ideas.B. Make us write like a machine.
C. Encurage us t think mre deeply.D. Make us tend t ignre grammatical mistakes.
10. What can we learn frm ChatGPT’s respnse?
A. Writing will becme cmpletely autmated.B. Rbts will wrk with humans in writing.
C. Rbt writing will becme mre creative.D. Human writing will still matter a lt.

Tw-thirds f the wrld ppulatin lives under cnditins where the freshwater demand is mre than twice the natural water availability fr at least ne mnth per year. Accrding t fficial statistics, ne billin f thse live in India and 0.9 billin live in China. Other areas facing this prblem fr lnger perids include Bangladesh (130 millin peple), the western and suthern states f the USA (130 millin), Pakistan (120 millin), Nigeria (110 millin), and Mexic (90 millin).
Cmmunities use a range f techniques t vercme this issue. In dry summers, thse near the cast can desalinate (淡化) seawater, althugh the prcess requires a large amunt f energy and expenditure. Sme remte inland cmmunities have alternative methds that suit their particular cnditins. Fr example, many high-altitude Chilean cmmunities in the Andes use fg cllectrs, specialized nets that can gather just a few liters a day.
Elsewhere, there’s anther ptin available. Researchers at ETH Zurich have develped a new device that passively harvests water frm the air arund the clck. The device is made up f a specially cated glass pane (玻璃板) that reflects slar radiatin and als radiates away its wn heat. In ding s, it cls dwn by as much as 15 degrees Celsius belw the surrunding temperatures. This difference in temperature between the air and the pane causes water vapr t cndense (凝结) n its underside, which can then be easily cllected.
Tests s far have been cnducted n a university building in Zurich and suggest that the device can prduce twice as much water per day as ther passive water-cllectin technlgies. Under ideal cnditins, researchers harvested 0.53 decilitres f water per square metre f the surface per hur. “That’s clse t the theretical maximum value f 0.6 decilitres per hur, which is physically impssible t exceed,” says Iwan Hachler, a dctral student wh is wrking n the technlgy.
The zer-energy input f the set-up culd make it suitable fr use in develping cuntries, particularly in remte cmmunities where water shrtage is ften cmbined with pwer shrtages. The scientists are hpeful that the device culd be used with ther water-cllectin methds, such as desalinatin, t increase prductivity.
12. What des the authr want t tell us by mentining fficial statistics in Paragraph 1?
A. Fresh water insecurity is a glbal crisis.
B. Water resurces are unevenly distributed glbally.
C. Lack f water seriusly restricts many cuntries’ grwth.
D. Develped cuntries are better at handling water shrtages.
13. Hw d many Chileans living in the Andes deal with the inadequate water supply?
A. By harvesting water frm fg.
B. By bringing in seawater and purifying it.
C. By mving t water-rich areas in summer.
D. By cutting dwn n their water cnsumptin.
14. Why is a cated glass pane used in the new device?
A. T hld the cndensed water.B. T wrk as a cling surface.
C. T get rid f harmful slar radiatin.D. T recrd the changes in temperature.
15. What can be inferred abut the new device?
A. It prduces satisfying utcmes. B. It is limited t labratry envirnments.
C. It has met with theretical bttlenecks. D. It needs further cnfirmatin frm experts.

“Beauty is nly skin deep” it is said. This means that a persn’s appearance is nt as imprtant as their character. Yet it is strange why peple and especially wmen are willing t spend a frtune n making themselves mre attractive physically. 16 The reasn can nly be ne, and it is that beauty has its advantages.
Attractive peple are mre ppular generally. Beauty draws a psitive respnse frm the peple arund. This is bvius with children. Fr example, based n bservatin, there is a tendency fr adults t treat gd-lking children better. This favrable treatment cntinues int adulthd, as attractive peple are mre likely t be chsen fr leadership psitins and given mre pprtunities. 17
Anther imprtant benefit that gd-lking peple enjy is that they find a husband r wife mre easily. 18 This initial attractin may then develp int rmantic feelings and a serius relatinship if the cuple find that they are cmpatible (和睦相处的) with each ther.
On the ther hand, beauty has a number f disadvantages as well. Firstly, a gd-lking persn tends t attract unwanted attentin frm all kinds f peple. The admirer may have bad intentins and cause prblems fr the target. 19 It is thught that beauty and brains d nt g tgether. Thus, attractive peple may nt gain respect even when they deserve it because f this prejudice against them.
While every individual shuld take care f their utward appearance and lk their best, they shuld nt neglect (忽视) their inner beauty r character. 20 Als, they shuld nt frget physical beauty is indeed, nly skin deep and will nt last.
A. Life is nt always easy fr beautiful peple.
B. The skincare industry is a multi-billin dllar business.
C. It turns ut being cnventinally beautiful has its benefits.
D. It is a fact that peple are first attracted t utward appearance.
E. They shuld nt place such imprtance n beauty that they becme prud.
F. Being well-treated gives attractive peple mre cnfidence and they perfrm better.
G. Anther prblem faced by gd-lking peple is that they may nt be taken seriusly.

Tw-thirds f the wrld ppulatin lives under cnditins where the freshwater demand is mre than twice the natural water availability fr at least ne mnth per year. Accrding t fficial statistics, ne billin f thse live in India and 0.9 billin live in China. Other areas facing this prblem fr lnger perids include Bangladesh (130 millin peple), the western and suthern states f the USA (130 millin), Pakistan (120 millin), Nigeria (110 millin), and Mexic (90 millin).
Cmmunities use a range f techniques t vercme this issue. In dry summers, thse near the cast can desalinate (淡化) seawater, althugh the prcess requires a large amunt f energy and expenditure. Sme remte inland cmmunities have alternative methds that suit their particular cnditins. Fr example, many high-altitude Chilean cmmunities in the Andes use fg cllectrs, specialized nets that can gather just a few liters a day.
Elsewhere, there’s anther ptin available. Researchers at ETH Zurich have develped a new device that passively harvests water frm the air arund the clck. The device is made up f a specially cated glass pane (玻璃板) that reflects slar radiatin and als radiates away its wn heat. In ding s, it cls dwn by as much as 15 degrees Celsius belw the surrunding temperatures. This difference in temperature between the air and the pane causes water vapr t cndense (凝结) n its underside, which can then be easily cllected.
Tests s far have been cnducted n a university building in Zurich and suggest that the device can prduce twice as much water per day as ther passive water-cllectin technlgies. Under ideal cnditins, researchers harvested 0.53 decilitres f water per square metre f the surface per hur. “That’s clse t the theretical maximum value f 0.6 decilitres per hur, which is physically impssible t exceed,” says Iwan Hachler, a dctral student wh is wrking n the technlgy.
The zer-energy input f the set-up culd make it suitable fr use in develping cuntries, particularly in remte cmmunities where water shrtage is ften cmbined with pwer shrtages. The scientists are hpeful that the device culd be used with ther water-cllectin methds, such as desalinatin, t increase prductivity.
12. What des the authr want t tell us by mentining fficial statistics in Paragraph 1?
A. Fresh water insecurity is a glbal crisis.
B. Water resurces are unevenly distributed glbally.
C. Lack f water seriusly restricts many cuntries’ grwth.
D. Develped cuntries are better at handling water shrtages.
13. Hw d many Chileans living in the Andes deal with the inadequate water supply?
A. By harvesting water frm fg.
B. By bringing in seawater and purifying it.
C. By mving t water-rich areas in summer.
D. By cutting dwn n their water cnsumptin.
14. Why is a cated glass pane used in the new device?
A. T hld the cndensed water.B. T wrk as a cling surface.
C. T get rid f harmful slar radiatin.D. T recrd the changes in temperature.
15. What can be inferred abut the new device?
A. It prduces satisfying utcmes. B. It is limited t labratry envirnments.
C. It has met with theretical bttlenecks. D. It needs further cnfirmatin frm experts.

“Beauty is nly skin deep” it is said. This means that a persn’s appearance is nt as imprtant as their character.

The admirer may have bad intentins and cause prblems fr the target. 19 It is thught that beauty and brains d nt g tgether. Thus, attractive peple may nt gain respect even when they deserve it because f this prejudice against them.
While every individual shuld take care f their utward appearance and lk their best, they shuld nt neglect (忽视) their inner beauty r character. 20 Als, they shuld nt frget physical beauty is indeed, nly skin deep and will nt last.
A. Life is nt always easy fr beautiful peple.
B. The skincare industry is a multi-billin dllar business.
C. It turns ut being cnventinally beautiful has its benefits.
D. It is a fact that peple are first attracted t utward appearance.
E. They shuld nt place such imprtance n beauty that they becme prud.
F. Being well-treated gives attractive peple mre cnfidence and they perfrm better.
G. Anther prblem faced by gd-lking peple is that they may nt be taken seriusly.
