八年级英语时文阅读: 当ChatGPT遇到文学创作
A growing number of people are using ChatGPT,an AI program, to create books for sale.
Until recently,Brett Schickler never imagined he could be a writer. But after learning about ChatGPT,Schickler decided that he had a good chance.“The idea of writing a book finally seemed possible,”said Schickler, a postman in New York. "I thought I could do this.”
Using the AI program, Schickler created a30-page picture book in a few hours. He offered it for sale in January through Amazon.“The book has made me less than $100,"he said. While that may not sound like much, it is enough to make him want to create other books using ChatGPT.Like Schickler,Kamil Banc told his wife that he could make a book in less than one day. “It was actually really simple,"he said.“I was surprised at how fast it went from an idea to publishing(出版).”
However, Mark Dawson, a famous writer, was quick to call ChatGPT-aided novels“dull".which means not interesting. He said,“If a book gets bad reviews because the writing is dull, then it's quickly going to the bottom.”
Mary Rasenberger is a member of a writer's group.She said,“This is something we really need to think about. These books will pour into the market and a lot of writers are going to be out of work.”

译文
越来越多的人正在使用人工智能程序ChatGPT来创作出售的书籍。直到最近，Brett Schickler从未想象过他能成为一名作家。但在了解了ChatGPT之后，Schickler决定抓住这个不错的机会。作为纽约邮递员的 Schickler说：“我想写一本书的想法似乎终于有可能实现了。我认为我可以做到。”
Schickler使用人工智能程序在几个小时内创作了一本30页的图画书。1月份，他通过亚马逊售卖这本书。他说：“这本书让我赚了不到100美元。”虽然这听起来不算多，但足以让他想使用ChatGPT创作其他书籍。与Schickler一样，Kamil Banc告诉他的妻子，他可以在不到一天的时间内创作一本书。他说：“那实际上很简单。我创作一本书从一个想法到出版的速度这么快，我都感到惊讶了。”
然而，在ChatGPT 辅助下创作出来的小说很快被著名作家 Mark Dawson认为是“枯燥”的，也就是无聊。他说：“如果一本书因为写作（内容）枯燥而获得差评，那么它很快就会跌入谷底。”
Mary Rasenberger是一个作家团体的成员。她说：“这是我们真正需要考虑的问题。这些书将涌入市场，许多作家将失业。”
语篇解读
随着ChatGPT的推出，越来越多的人利用它来写书，那么这会对出版业带来什么影响？是不是人人都可以借助它成为作家呢？
答案详析1. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Schickler，a postman in New York"可知，Schickler 是美国纽约的一个邮递员。2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“While that may not sound like much, it is enough to make him want to create other book susing ChatGPT.”可知，虽然这听起来不算多，但足以让他想使用ChatGPT创作其他书籍。由此可推知，BrettSchickler可能会继续使用ChatGPT写书。3.B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I was surprised at how fast it went from an idea to publishing.”可 知，Kamil Banc 惊讶于ChatGPT写书的速度之快。4.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“These books will pour into the market and a lot of writers are going to be out of work.”可知，这些用ChatGPT写的书将涌入市场，许多作家将失业。故推知，Mary Rasenberger 对作家们的工作感到担心。5.A主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一款人工智能程序以及人们对它的不同看法，故A项符合题意。
长难句分析原句：（倒数第二段最后一句)He said，"If a book gets bad reviews because the writing is dull,then it's quickly going to the bottom.”译文：他说：“如果一本书因为写作（内容）枯燥而获得差评，那么它很快就会跌入谷底。”分析：直接引语部分是一个复合句。If a book gets bad reviews because the writing is dull是if引导的条件状语从句；在这个条件状语从句中，because引导原因状语从句。
