The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged① in a yellow wood，
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler，long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To [1]where it bent in the undergrowth②；
Then took the other，as just as fair③，
And having perhaps the better claim，
Because it was grassy④and wanted wear⑤；
Though as for⑥ that，the passing there
Had worn them really about the same，

【参考译文】
未选择的路
金黄色林中两条路各奔一方，
可惜我无法兼顾，
身在旅途，我久久伫立，
极目望向一条路的尽头，
它蜿蜒拐进远方的灌木丛；

但我却选了另外一条路，公正公平，
抑或有更佳理由，
它荒草萋萋，诱人涉足；
即便如此，旅人的足迹
让两条路看起来相差无几，
那天清晨落叶满地，
两条路都未经脚印污染。
啊，我留下第一条路改日再探！
明知道路径延绵，
我不确定是否还能回到这里。
也许多年之后在某个地方，
我会回顾往事轻声叹息：
树林中有两条路，
我选择了人迹较少的那一条，
从此，它为我带来了全新的人生轨迹。
《未选择的路》这首诗中的诗句常常在各种演讲中被引用。许多艺术家为这首诗谱了曲，它还被运用于大量的电视广告之中。事实上，它已经成为美国历史上最著名的诗歌之一，这不仅是因为其自然的风格，还因为其对人性的深刻洞察。
阅读《未选择的路》总会让人脑海中不禁浮现出乡村深处静谧的树林。林间小路往往象征我们人生中的进步和变化。“金黄色林中两条路各奔一方，可惜我无法兼顾”这两句话生动地展现了我们面临的选择以及需要做出的决定。生活每天都会向我们抛出许多选择，不仅包括“我今天应该穿什么”这样的小问题，也包括大学应该学什么专业或者毕业后应该做什么工作这样的重大问题。当然，最大的困境往往源于道德问题，因为我们不确定哪个选择才是正确的。
无论我们的选择是大是小，它们都有一个共同点，那就是它们都会带来某种结果。在大多数情况下，一旦我们做了选择，就没有退路。虽然这首诗的作者考虑改天再探索另一条路，但是他也知道获得这种机会的可能性微乎其微。就像作者一样，我们能做的只有在回首往事时“轻声叹息”，幻想事情本可以成为什么样子。
这一声叹息，以及我们对是否做出了正确选择的顾虑都是可以理解的。虽然我们可以自由地选择走哪一条路，但是当两条路看起来大同小异时，其实很难做选择。比如当我们同时面对两个工作机会时，我们可能会思索到底我们是在什么当中选择。如果我们选择了一份工作而在不知不觉中放弃了其他未来的机会，那该怎么办？而我们又甚至能否发现自己是否做出了正确的选择呢？
最后，前方的路，也就是我们的人生之路，其实是由选择和机会交织而成的。当我们快走到尽头时，我们会如何铭记这段旅途？我们会如何回顾自己的一生？在这首诗中，作者质疑了自己的选择，在“多年之后”的未来，他可能会承认自己选择了一条“人迹较少”的路。生活中确实会有一些人选择不寻常的道路，虽然路途更加艰难，但也会带来新的奇遇和经历。尽管如此，就做决定的艺术而言，一部分就在于学会充分利用我们的决定。我们应该积极乐观地面对未来，而非带着遗憾回顾过去，因为选择在于我们自己，而且它们只属于我们自己。

A
I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston，US，raised by a single mother who didn't finish 3rd grade，lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional public school district”.Not many people expected much of me，so I had to expect something of myself.
On my 13th birthday，I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room.Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about.Even when my electricity was cut off and I woke up at 5：30 a.m. to pitch blackness，I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making，because those paths wouldn't have had me closer to my goal. Even poverty could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.
Every day I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better，my SAT score increased，and my scholarship checks started coming in.Finally，an email arrived from Harvard.The first word was “Congratulations！” A month later，Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday，and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today.Who do you want to be tomorrow

When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program，ChatGPT，in late 2022，educators began to worry.ChatGPT could create text and it seemed that a human wrote it.How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task
As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read，write and think，I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating.These include whether AI，more generally，threatens student writing skills，the value of writing as a process，and the importance of seeing writing as a tool for thinking.
As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing，I surveyed young adults in the U.S.about some issues related to those effects.One participant said that at some point if you depend on predictive text，you're going to lose your spelling abilities.Enter “Was Rom” into a Google search and you're given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”.Type “ple” into a text message and you're offered “please” and “plenty”.These tools complete our sentences automatically，giving us little chance to think about our spelling，and continuously asking us to follow their suggestions.
Evan Selinger，a philosopher，worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression.“By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words，predictive technology may change how we deal with each other，” Selinger wrote.“We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves.Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn't feel like mine anymore.”
I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans' motivation to write.The bot responded：“There will always be a demand for creative，original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued：“Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content，such as self-expression，communication and personal growth，which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.”
I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了ChatGPT对学生写作的影响及其潜在问题。
5.What's the author's main concern about ChatGPT
A.Whether it will lead to students' cheating.
B.Whether it will write articles like humans.

6.What will predictive technology do to us according to Evan Selinger
A.Give us more creative ideas.
B.Make us write like a machine.
C.Encourage us to think more deeply.
D.Make us tend to ignore grammatical mistakes.
解析　B　细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知，Evan Selinger认为预测性文本输入技术让表达出的自我更少，阻止我们思考，所以预测性技术会让我们像机器一样写作。故选B。
7.What can we learn from ChatGPT's response
A.Writing will become completely automated.
B.Robots will work with humans in writing.
C.Robot writing will become more creative.
D.Human writing will still matter a lot.
解析　D　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The bot responded：‘There will always be ... certain types of writing can be automated.’”可知，虽然未来有些写作会实现自动化，但是那些人类作家原创、个性化的写作永远是被需要的。由此推知，人类完成的写作很重要，机器无法取而代之。故选D。
