Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer changed the course of children’s literature in the United States as well as of American literature generally, presenting the first deeply-felt description of boyhood. Mark Twain published the novel in 1876, which centered on a smart naughty young boy living in a town along the Mississippi River. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer marked the further development of Mark Twain realism.
An orphan, Tom Sawyer lived with his Aunt Polly and half brother, Sid, in St. Petersburg, Missouri; the fictional town was based on Hannibal, Missouri. The first few chapters highlighted Tom’s troubled tendencies. He angered his aunt by eating jam, and then he got in a fight with another boy. As punishment for his various misdeeds, Aunt Polly ordered him to whitewash the fence. However, Tom managed to convince other children that whitewashing was fun, and they ended up giving him various items for a turn at the fence. Later in the book Tom went to the cemetery with Huckleberry Finn, a wanderer whose father was a heavy drinker. They came across three grave robbers, including Injun Joe and Dr. Robinson. The two men got into a fight, and Injun Joe murdered the doctor. Although Tom and Huckleberry promised never to tell anyone what they had seen, Tom eventually charged the escaped Indian Joc.
At one point, Tom, Huckleberry, and a third boy decided to run away from home and became pirates (海盗). While on an island in the Mississippi River, they discovered that people thought they had died. The three dramatically reappeared during their funeral services. Tom and Huckleberry then decided to look for buried treasure in an abandoned house. The boys were forced to hide when Injun Joe and a partner arrived to bury their own treasure there. However, the two men then came across a gold storage in the house and decided to hide it elsewhere. One night Huck followed them, hoping to find the gold. When he overheard their plan to attack the Widow Douglas, Huck got help, and the crime was prevented. Tom later went on a picnic with his classmates. While exploring a cave, they became lost, and Tom later realized that the gold was likely to be in the cave, and he and Huckleberry discovered it.

Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View- Return of the Jedi To mark the 40th anniversary of the release of Return of the Jedi, this selection sees 40 scenes from the movie recreated through the eyes of a supporting character, from robots to Mon Mothma. So, among the 40 writers and artists contributing, we have Olivie Blake giving a glimpse into the mind of Emperor Palpatine, Mary Kenney telling the story of Wicket the Ewok’s dream of a quiet day on the forest moon of Endor and Charlie Jane Anders looking into that terrifying open mouth in the desert of Tatooine.
Creation Node by Stephen Baxter Stephen Baxter is the author of one of my all-time favourite moments in a sci-fi novel: the oceans close over the top of Everest in Flood. I think of his drowned Earth relatively often - it is an image burned into my brain. His latest book sounds equally interesting and I’ll definitely be giving it a read. Set in 2255, it follows the discovery of an object called Planet Nine, which a woman named Salma spots from her spaceship. It’s not a planet, or the “ninth” of anything; it was briefly believed to be a black hole, but then it sends a message that there is something waiting on its surface. Meanwhile, a quasar(类星体)has appeared and is heating up the solar system. Lots to deal with, then.
Starter Villain by John Scalzi This is the sort of sci-fi novel that needs to be described as a joke, I feel. It’s set on Earth today and sees divorced substitute teacher Charlie inherit his long-lost late uncle Jake’s business. Unfortunately for Charlie, he also inherits his uncle’s enemies. We are also promised intelligent, talking spy cats and unionised dolphins - what’s not to like
Land of Milk and Honey by C. Pam Zhang I loved Zhang’s first novel, How Much of These Hills Is Gold, set in the 19th-century Old West. I highly, highly recommend it: Zhang is a phenomenal writer. Her second book moves the action to the near future, where food crops are disappearing and a smog is spreading. Hoping to escape her troubled reality, a chef takes a job in a mountaintop settlement for the global elite (精英) and discovers plans to reshape the world.
Edge of Here by Kelechi Okafor What a treat this sounds: a short story collection to dip into in this busiest of months. Okafor, who is host of the Say Your Mind podcast, sets out to explore contemporary Black womanhood, but sets her stories in a Black Mirror version of the near future. There’s one in which you can experience someone else’s emotions through a chip in your brain, one where you can view bits of a distant relative’s life with help from your DNA.
40. If you want to know the life of a cook, which novel would you choose
A. Edge of Here by Kelechi Okafor B. Starter Villain by John Scalzi
C. Creation Node by Stephen Baxter D. Land of Milk and Honey by C. Pam Zhang

In recent years, the International Space Field set off a new round of exploration craze, hoping to further master the space secrets and resources. Countries are busy developing rockets and satellites, developing manned space technology, formulating plans to explore the moon and Mars, and conquering space “One step ahead ”.
When engineers develop a spacecraft, they ask a few key questions that guide their process, says David Klaus, a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, who studies risk assessment and human spaceflight. They are, he explains, “What do we want to do What does it take to do it What can go wrong And what can we do to reduce the chance of the bad things going wrong ” These questions seem simple enough, but the answers are essential.
When NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin or anyone else considers sending humans into space, the vehicle they build must do three things. First, it has to accommodate the crew members by meeting their basic needs such as oxygen, food and water. Second, it should allow them to accomplish mission objectives. Lastly, it must protect the people onboard and on the ground from the risks of spaceflight and reentry. Sometimes meeting one need introduces new risks. The crew needs to breathe, of course, but it was high-pressure tanks of liquid oxygen that caused an explosion on Apollo 13, and it was the fuel powering an oxygen generator that sparked a fire onboard the Mir space station in 1997.
Not only do astronauts float through a near vacuum (真空) filled with radiation, but in low-Earth orbit, where the International Space Station (ISS) operates, crews have to deal with a growing cloud of debris (碎片) circling Earth, which are usually from old satellites. The ISS’s debris protective covering can absorb impacts from particles smaller than half an inch, but between 1999 and 2022, the station had to fire pushers 32 times to avoid contact with larger objects. A single hit would be dangerous; at speeds of 17,500 miles per hour, even something the size of a softball can cause severe damage.
What is the point of looking decades into space and struggling to explore the vastness of the universe The development of the space industry has brought humans many benefits, the most important of which is the spread of information. The cell phone signal and TV signal people use now are all benefiting from the development of the space industry. The ultimate goal of mankind is to go deeper into space, and to explore more unknown worlds, that is, the Moon, Mars and beyond, and what humanity is eager to achieve is a common home of freedom and equality.
43. Why did the writer mention the explosion on Apollo 13 in Paragraph 3 and the fire onboard the Mir space station
A. To explain the high risks of the space industry.
B. To show the disadvantages of the space travel.
C. To prove the unexpected risks of the spaceflight process.
D. To describe the new risks involved in meeting the requirements.
44. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph
A. The space environment itself piles on danger.
B. Any misstep on a space mission is fatal.
C. It is very difficult to complete the space mission.
D. Space engineers work hard to clean up space debris.
45. What is the ultimate goal of human exploration of space
A. More unknown planets and stars. B. Freedom and equality of human beings.
C. More protection against human diseases. D. Space secrets and endless resources.
46. What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean
A. Studying space for countless years. B. Living in space for many years.
C. Exploring space for some ten years. D. Observing space for several ten years.
【答案】43. D 44. D 45. A 46. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了近年来，国际空间领域掀起了新一轮的探索热潮，希望进一步掌握空间秘密和资源。各国都在忙着研制火箭和卫星，发展载人航天技术，制定探索月球和火星的计划，“领先一步”征服太空。航天事业的发展给人类带来了许多好处，其中最重要的是信息的传播。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Sometimes meeting one need introduces new risks. The crew needs to breathe, of course, but it was high-pressure tanks of liquid oxygen that caused an explosion on Apollo 13, and it was the fuel powering an oxygen generator that sparked a fire onboard the Mir space station in 1997.(有时满足一种需求会带来新的风险。当然，宇航员需要呼吸，但导致阿波罗13号爆炸的是高压液氧罐，1997年和平号空间站上发生火灾的也是氧气发生器的燃料。)”可推知，作者在第三段提到阿波罗13号的爆炸和和平号空间站的火灾是为了描述满足需求所涉及的新风险。故选D。
【44题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Not only do astronauts float through a near vacuum (真空) filled with radiation, but in low-Earth orbit, where the International Space Station (ISS) operates, crews have to deal with a growing cloud of debris (碎片) circling Earth, which are usually from old satellites. The ISS’s debris protective covering can absorb impacts from particles smaller than half an inch, but between 1999 and 2022, the station had to fire pushers 32 times to avoid contact with larger objects. A single hit would be dangerous; at speeds of 17,500 miles per hour, even something the size of a softball can cause severe damage.(宇航员不仅要漂浮在充满辐射的近乎真空的环境中，而且在国际空间站运行的近地轨道上，宇航员还必须处理越来越多的环绕地球的碎片云，这些碎片通常来自旧卫星。国际空间站的碎片防护覆盖物可以吸收小于半英寸的颗粒的撞击，但在1999年至2022年期间，空间站不得不发射32次推进器，以避免与更大的物体接触。一次命中就会很危险;在每小时17500英里的速度下，即使是垒球大小的东西也会造成严重的伤害)”可知，第四段的主旨是空间工程师努力清理空间碎片。故选D。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The ultimate goal of mankind is to go deeper into space, and to explore more unknown worlds, that is, the Moon, Mars and beyond, and what humanity is eager to achieve is a common home of freedom and equality.(人类的终极目标是向更深的空间发展，探索更多未知的世界，即月球、火星和更远的地方，人类渴望实现的是一个自由和平等的共同家园)”可知，人类探索太空的最终目标是更多未知的行星和恒星。故选A。
【46题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“and struggling to explore the vastness of the universe”可知，此处指研究太空很多年，努力探索浩瀚的宇宙，故划线词意思是“研究太空很多年”。故选A。
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Is Human Brain Too Full
The brain is a seemingly endless library, whose shelves house our most precious memories as well as our lifetime’s knowledge. But is there a point where it reaches capacity The answer is no, because brains are more complicated than that. Instead of just crowding in, old information is sometimes pushed out of the brain for new memories to form. Previous behavioral studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting. ___47___
In daily life, forgetting actually has clear advantages. Imagine, for instance, that you lost your bank card. The new card you receive will come with a new personal identification number (PIN). Each time you remember the new PIN, you gradually forget the old one.___48___ And most of us may sometimes feel the frustration of having old memories interfere with new, relevant memories. Consider trying to remember where you parked your car in the same car park you were at a week earlier. This type of memory (where you are trying to remember new, but similar information) is particularly vulnerable to interference.
___49___ When we search information, both relevant and irrelevant information will appear. The majority of previous research has focused on how we learn and remember new information. But current studies are beginning to place greater emphasis on the conditions under which we forget, as its importance begins to be more appreciated.
A very small number of people are able to remember almost every detail of their life. ___50___ In a sense, forgetting is how our brains categorize memories, so the most relevant memories are ready to be taken out. Normal forgetting may even be a safety mechanism to ensure our brain doesn’t become too full.
A. While it may sound like an advantage to many, people with this rare condition often find their unusual ability stressful.
B. But in a new study researchers demonstrated for the first time how this effect occurs in the brain.
C. In the future, with the deepening of brain science research, human beings will eventually unlock the secrets of the brain.
D. This process improves access to relevant information, without old memories interfering.
E. When we obtain new information, the brain automatically attempts to make it into existing information by forming associations.
F. The outside world is a judgment of the brain, but humans just don’t realize it.
【答案】47. B 48. D 49. E 50. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了大脑关于记忆和遗忘的机制设定和作用。
【47题详解】
根据上文“Previous behavioral studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting. (先前行为研究表明，学习新信息会导致遗忘)”以及后文介绍了新的研究发现，故本句与上文构成转折关系，故B选项“但在一项新的研究中，研究人员首次证明了这种效应是如何在大脑中发生的”符合语境，故选B。
【48题详解】
根据上文“Imagine, for instance, that you lost your bank card. The new card you receive will come with a new personal identification number (PIN). Each time you remember the new PIN, you gradually forget the old one.(想象一下，例如，你丢了你的银行卡。你收到的新卡将附带一个新的个人识别号码(PIN)。每次你记住新的密码，你就会逐渐忘记旧的)”以及后文“And most of us may sometimes feel the frustration of having old memories interfere with new, relevant memories.(我们大多数人有时会因为旧记忆干扰新的相关记忆而感到沮丧)”可知，本句承接上文进一步解释忘记旧密码的现象：这个过程在没有旧记忆干扰的情况下提高了对相关信息的获取。故D选项“这个过程在没有旧记忆干扰的情况下提高了对相关信息的获取”符合语境，故选D。
【49题详解】
根据后文“When we search information, both relevant and irrelevant information will appear. The majority of previous research has focused on how we learn and remember new information. But current studies are beginning to place greater emphasis on the conditions under which we forget, as its importance begins to be more appreciated.(当我们搜索信息时，相关和不相关的信息都会出现。之前的大部分研究都集中在我们如何学习和记忆新信息上。但是目前的研究开始更加强调我们遗忘的条件，因为它的重要性开始得到更多的认识)”可知，后文提到了搜索信息，可知本句是在说明搜索信息之前需要获得新信息。故E选项“当我们获得新信息时，大脑会自动尝试通过形成联想将其转化为现有信息”符合语境，故选E。
【50题详解】
根据上文“A very small number of people are able to remember almost every detail of their life.(只有极少数人能够记住他们生活中的几乎每一个细节)”可知，上文提到了极少数的人能记住，可知本句是在说明大多数人的记忆情况。故A选项“虽然对很多人来说，这听起来像是一种优势，但患有这种罕见疾病的人通常会觉得他们这种不寻常的能力很有压力”符合语境，故选A。

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer changed the course of children’s literature in the United States as well as of American literature generally, presenting the first deeply-felt description of boyhood. Mark Twain published the novel in 1876, which centered on a smart naughty young boy living in a town along the Mississippi River. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer marked the further development of Mark Twain realism.
An orphan, Tom Sawyer lived with his Aunt Polly and half brother, Sid, in St. Petersburg, Missouri; the fictional town was based on Hannibal, Missouri. The first few chapters highlighted Tom’s troubled tendencies. He angered his aunt by eating jam, and then he got in a fight with another boy. As punishment for his various misdeeds, Aunt Polly ordered him to whitewash the fence. However, Tom managed to convince other children that whitewashing was fun, and they ended up giving him various items for a turn at the fence. Later in the book Tom went to the cemetery with Huckleberry Finn, a wanderer whose father was a heavy drinker. They came across three grave robbers, including Injun Joe and Dr. Robinson. The two men got into a fight, and Injun Joe murdered the doctor. Although Tom and Huckleberry promised never to tell anyone what they had seen, Tom eventually charged the escaped Indian Joc.
At one point, Tom, Huckleberry, and a third boy decided to run away from home and became pirates (海盗). While on an island in the Mississippi River, they discovered that people thought they had died. The three dramatically reappeared during their funeral services. Tom and Huckleberry then decided to look for buried treasure in an abandoned house. The boys were forced to hide when Injun Joe and a partner arrived to bury their own treasure there. However, the two men then came across a gold storage in the house and decided to hide it elsewhere. One night Huck followed them, hoping to find the gold. When he overheard their plan to attack the Widow Douglas, Huck got help, and the crime was prevented. Tom later went on a picnic with his classmates. While exploring a cave, they became lost, and Tom later realized that the gold was likely to be in the cave, and he and Huckleberry discovered it.

B
Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View- Return of the Jedi To mark the 40th anniversary of the release of Return of the Jedi, this selection sees 40 scenes from the movie recreated through the eyes of a supporting character, from robots to Mon Mothma. So, among the 40 writers and artists contributing, we have Olivie Blake giving a glimpse into the mind of Emperor Palpatine, Mary Kenney telling the story of Wicket the Ewok’s dream of a quiet day on the forest moon of Endor and Charlie Jane Anders looking into that terrifying open mouth in the desert of Tatooine.
Creation Node by Stephen Baxter Stephen Baxter is the author of one of my all-time favourite moments in a sci-fi novel: the oceans close over the top of Everest in Flood. I think of his drowned Earth relatively often - it is an image burned into my brain. His latest book sounds equally interesting and I’ll definitely be giving it a read. Set in 2255, it follows the discovery of an object called Planet Nine, which a woman named Salma spots from her spaceship. It’s not a planet, or the “ninth” of anything; it was briefly believed to be a black hole, but then it sends a message that there is something waiting on its surface. Meanwhile, a quasar(类星体)has appeared and is heating up the solar system. Lots to deal with, then.
Starter Villain by John Scalzi This is the sort of sci-fi novel that needs to be described as a joke, I feel. It’s set on Earth today and sees divorced substitute teacher Charlie inherit his long-lost late uncle Jake’s business. Unfortunately for Charlie, he also inherits his uncle’s enemies. We are also promised intelligent, talking spy cats and unionised dolphins - what’s not to like
Land of Milk and Honey by C. Pam Zhang I loved Zhang’s first novel, How Much of These Hills Is Gold, set in the 19th-century Old West. I highly, highly recommend it: Zhang is a phenomenal writer. Her second book moves the action to the near future, where food crops are disappearing and a smog is spreading. Hoping to escape her troubled reality, a chef takes a job in a mountaintop settlement for the global elite (精英) and discovers plans to reshape the world.
Edge of Here by Kelechi Okafor What a treat this sounds: a short story collection to dip into in this busiest of months. Okafor, who is host of the Say Your Mind podcast, sets out to explore contemporary Black womanhood, but sets her stories in a Black Mirror version of the near future. There’s one in which you can experience someone else’s emotions through a chip in your brain, one where you can view bits of a distant relative’s life with help from your DNA.
40. If you want to know the life of a cook, which novel would you choose
A. Edge of Here by Kelechi Okafor B. Starter Villain by John Scalzi
C. Creation Node by Stephen Baxter D. Land of Milk and Honey by C. Pam Zhang

C
In recent years, the International Space Field set off a new round of exploration craze, hoping to further master the space secrets and resources. Countries are busy developing rockets and satellites, developing manned space technology, formulating plans to explore the moon and Mars, and conquering space “One step ahead ”.
When engineers develop a spacecraft, they ask a few key questions that guide their process, says David Klaus, a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, who studies risk assessment and human spaceflight. They are, he explains, “What do we want to do What does it take to do it What can go wrong And what can we do to reduce the chance of the bad things going wrong ” These questions seem simple enough, but the answers are essential.
When NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin or anyone else considers sending humans into space, the vehicle they build must do three things. First, it has to accommodate the crew members by meeting their basic needs such as oxygen, food and water. Second, it should allow them to accomplish mission objectives. Lastly, it must protect the people onboard and on the ground from the risks of spaceflight and reentry. Sometimes meeting one need introduces new risks. The crew needs to breathe, of course, but it was high-pressure tanks of liquid oxygen that caused an explosion on Apollo 13, and it was the fuel powering an oxygen generator that sparked a fire onboard the Mir space station in 1997.
Not only do astronauts float through a near vacuum (真空) filled with radiation, but in low-Earth orbit, where the International Space Station (ISS) operates, crews have to deal with a growing cloud of debris (碎片) circling Earth, which are usually from old satellites. The ISS’s debris protective covering can absorb impacts from particles smaller than half an inch, but between 1999 and 2022, the station had to fire pushers 32 times to avoid contact with larger objects. A single hit would be dangerous; at speeds of 17,500 miles per hour, even something the size of a softball can cause severe damage.
What is the point of looking decades into space and struggling to explore the vastness of the universe The development of the space industry has brought humans many benefits the most important of which is the spread of information. The cell phone signal and TV signal people use now are all benefiting from the development of the space industry. The ultimate goal of mankind is to go deeper into space, and to explore more unknown worlds, that is, the Moon, Mars and beyond, and what humanity is eager to achieve is a common home of freedom and equality.
43. Why did the writer mention the explosion on Apollo 13 in Paragraph 3 and the fire onboard the Mir space station
A. To explain the high risks of the space industry.
B To show the disadvantages of the space travel.
C. To prove the unexpected risks of the spaceflight process.
D. To describe the new risks involved in meeting the requirements.
44. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph
A. The space environment itself piles on danger.
B. Any misstep on a space mission is fatal.
C. It is very difficult to complete the space mission.
D. Space engineers work hard to clean up space debris.
45. What is the ultimate goal of human exploration of space
A. More unknown planets and stars. B. Freedom and equality of human beings.
C. More protection against human diseases. D. Space secrets and endless resources.
46. What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean
A. Studying space for countless years. B. Living in space for many years.
C. Exploring space for some ten years. D. Observing space for several ten years.

Is Human Brain Too Full
The brain is a seemingly endless library, whose shelves house our most precious memories as well as our lifetime’s knowledge. But is there a point where it reaches capacity The answer is no, because brains are more complicated than that. Instead of just crowding in, old information is sometimes pushed out of the brain for new memories to form. Previous behavioral studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting. ___47___
In daily life, forgetting actually has clear advantages. Imagine, for instance, that you lost your bank card. The new card you receive will come with a new personal identification number (PIN). Each time you remember the new PIN, you gradually forget the old one.___48___ And most of us may sometimes feel the frustration of having old memories interfere with new, relevant memories. Consider trying to remember where you parked your car in the same car park you were at a week earlier. This type of memory (where you are trying to remember new, but similar information) is particularly vulnerable to interference.
___49___ When we search information, both relevant and irrelevant information will appear. The majority of previous research has focused on how we learn and remember new information. But current studies are beginning to place greater emphasis on the conditions under which we forget, as its importance begins to be more appreciated.
A very small number of people are able to remember almost every detail of their life. ___50___ In a sense, forgetting is how our brains categorize memories, so the most relevant memories are ready to be taken out. Normal forgetting may even be a safety mechanism to ensure our brain doesn’t become too full.
A. While it may sound like an advantage to many, people with this rare condition often find their unusual ability stressful.
B. But in a new study researchers demonstrated for the first time how this effect occurs in the brain.
C. In the future, with the deepening of brain science research, human beings will eventually unlock the secrets of the brain.
D. This process improves access to relevant information, without old memories interfering.
E. When we obtain new information, the brain automatically attempts to make it into existing information by forming associations.
F. The outside world is a judgment of the brain, but humans just don’t realize it.
IV. Summary Writing
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
ChatGPT Helps People a Lot
In real life, robot customer service in various applications are broadly similar to ChatGPT’s Al products. It is ChatGPT’s ability to learn the most with the highest level of intelligence that has made it a global hit. At the end of November 2022, AI research lab OpenAI launched AI chat software ChatGPT. So what exactly can ChatGPT do, and how can it help us ordinary people
First, chat with ChatGPT as if it were your friend when you’re bored, and it will constantly revise its parameters (参数) and behavior with your advice and guidance. So the more you talk to it, the more it knows what you want, and the more it responds to you. Take travel as an example. While there are a lot of travel recommendation sites out there right now, they can’t be customized to the individual, but you can ask ChatGPT for very specific information to get suggestions.
Second, ChatGPT can be used when you want to create content but lack ideas. It can open your mind to ideas as well as create ideas for you. Children in the growth always like to listen to parents tell new stories, and story-telling gives a lot of parents a headache. What should we do when we run out of storybooks ChatGPT is a great story generator, which generates a whole new story, as many as you want, based on the themes and characters you provide. It’s perfect.
Third, let ChatGPT help you out when you’re not sure how to get started with a paper, or an article. Of course, it doesn’t always provide the right content, so we can learn from its framework, and it’s much easier to fill in the content from there. Enter information about the type, title, column name, data, and so on, and ChatGPT will generate the table with one click. You can add columns and rows and do in-table calculations.
According to ChatGPT’s own answer, it’s just an unconscious computer program. It can carry on self-active learning and realize task transfer under the regular instruction. Docs the answer ChatGPT gives you have to be the right answer For conscious humans, it might be better to pick from all the possible answers.
