II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Section A

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and

grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of

the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

Science journals ban listing of ChatGPT as co-author on papers

The publishers of thousands of scientific journals have banned or restricted contributors' use

of an advanced AI-driven chatbot amid the concerns (21) _________ it could pepper academic

literature with flawed and even fabricated research.

ChatGPT, a fluent but flaky chatbot developed by OpenAI in California, has impressed or

distressed more than a million human users by rattling out poems, short stories, essays and even

personal advice since its launch in November.

(22) _________ the chatbot has proved a huge source of fun - its take on how to free a peanut

butter sandwich from a VCR, in the style of the King James Bible, is one notable hit - the program

can also produce fake scientific abstracts that are convincing enough to fool human reviewers.

ChatGPT's more legitimate uses in article preparation have already led to it (23) _________

(credit) as a co-author on a handful or papers.

The sudden arrival of ChatGPT has promoted a scramble published to respond. On Thursday,

Holden Thorp, the editor-in-chief of the leading US journal Science, announced an updated

editorial policy, banning the use of text from ChatGPT and clarifying that the program could not

be listed as an author.

"Given the frenzy that has built up around this, it's a good idea to make it absolutely explicit

that we will not permit ChatGPT to be an author or to have its text (24) _________ (use) in

papers," Thorp said.

Leading scientific journals require authors to sign a form declaring that they are accountable

(25) _________ their contribution to the work. Since ChatGPT cannot do this, it cannot be an

author, Thorp says.

But even using ChatGPT in the preparation of a paper is problematic, he believes. ChatGPT

makes plenty of errors, which could find (26) _________ way into the literature, he says, and if

scientists come (27) _________ (rely) on AI programs to prepare literature reviews or summarise

their findings, the proper context of the work and the deep scrutiny that results deserve could be

lost. "That is the opposite direction of (28) _________ we need to go," he said.

Other publishers have made similar changes. On Tuesday, Springer-Nature, which publishes

nearly 3,000 journals, updated its guidelines to state that ChatGPT cannot be listed as an author.

But the publisher has not banned ChatGPT outright. The tool, and others like it, can still be used in

the preparation of papers, provided full details (29) _________ (reveal) in the manuscript.

Elsevier, which publishes about 2,800 journals, including Cell and the Lancet, has taken a

similar stance to Springer-Nature, (30) _________ guidelines allow the use of AI tools to improve

the readability and language of the research article, but not to replace key tasks that should be

done by the authors, such as interpreting data or drawing scientific conclusions.

Section B

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be

used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A. distribution B. sustained C. scale D. unfolding E. chaos F. trials

G. subscriptions H. intellectual I. fared J. share K. rocking

At 100, the mouse can still roar. But it faces a new kind of rival

"Why do we have to grow up?" Walt Disney once wondered. As it launches its centenary

celebrations on January 27th, the Walt Disney Company has (31) _________ its appeal to the

young and young-at-heart. This year Hollywood's biggest studio will invest more in original

content than any other firm. It dominates the global box office, with four of last year's ten biggest

hits, and has more streaming (32) _________ than anyone else. Its (33) _________ property is

turned into merchandise ranging from lunchboxes to lightsabers, and exploited in theme parks that

are churning out healthy profits even as covid-19 lingers. More than just a business, Disney is

perhaps the most successful culture factory the world has ever known.

So the change (34) _________ the company today has played a significant role far beyond its

empire. Uncertainty about the future profitability of Disney's enormous entertainment portfolio

has caused a roller-coaster ride in its (35) _________ price. It threw out its chief executive in

November and will soon replace its chairman. It also faces a rebellion from an activist investment

firm that wants a board seat in what could turn into the biggest face-off since Michael Eisner, a

previous CEO, was forced out in 2005. Disney's (36) _________ are not just a boardroom drama.

Similar crises are (37) _________ at other leading culture factories, from Warner Bros to Netflix.

The reason is a technological revolution that is turning Hollywood upside down.

Those who have (38) _________ best at a shrinking box office are the owners of films that

are already popular. As people visit cinemas less often and competition intensifies, studios have

pumped money into films people will turn out to see even when they go only three or four times a

year. America's ten biggest films last year were all sequels or parts of a franchise; Disney's

upcoming slate includes an 80-year-old Harrison Ford returning for a fifth outing as Indiana Jones.

It has not been a golden age for cinema, but for those at the top it has been a profitable one.

Now technology is shaking things up again. Online (39) _________ has drawn tech firms that

make the hardware and software used for streaming. Silicon Valley is of a different (40)

_________ from Tinseltown (Amazon's growing advertising business is already three times bigger

than Disney's) and its moguls have no need to make money from streaming, which they see as an

add-on to their main business. The more fine content these new producers make and sell below

cost, the greater the risk that older studios will fall from the top tier of media into the perilous

middle.

III. Reading Comprehensions

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B,

C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

When Harry told me that he was leaving the company, one of the first things he said to me

was that he didn't like emotional goodbyes. I have decided to take him at his word. Everything you

will hear my say tonight is straight-forward and (41) _________, just like the man himself.

Harry has been in the finance department for seven years. In that time, he has not done

anything remotely (42) _________. I asked several people if they had amusing stories about him,

and the best they could come up with is that he once accidentally changed a formula in the annual

budget spreadsheet. Since the (43) _________ was quickly spotted and fixed, it had no impact at

all.

Will Harry be (44) _________? Not at all, though for reasons that he may not fully grasp.

This is an evening in which the person who is leaving receives presents (as well as a card from

people whose names you don't recognize but who just loved working with you). But the (45)

_________ goes both ways. The leavers have a parting gift of their own to present: a convenient

scapegoat.

When someone dies, the convention is not to speak ill of the (46) _________. When an

employee exits a company, it's the opposite. Things that don't work as well as they should can be

laid at the door of someone who won't (47) _________. Frustrations that have been suppressed

can finally be blamed on someone. When we speak of you, we will say things like "Harry had

many strengths but ...", and we will (48) _________ ourselves that you held us back a bit. This

will not be true, but it will be (49) _________. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that we

are grateful for this (50) _________ act of service, which can last for as long as a year after

someone has actually left the building. After that, memories tend to fade. I wish I could promise

you that you are part of company folklore, or that your role in banning plastic straws from the

office will ring through the ages. (51) _________, the only guarantee I can give is that no one here

will ever read your exit-interview notes.

This may all seem a little (52) _________. You have spent many years at the company, and

yet will probably (53) _________. But in spite of that, you should still feel (54) _________ in

your time here. To have done your work well and to leave at a time of your choosing are

achievements that are beyond most people. So please raise your glasses to Harry. He has been an

excellent colleague and won't really be (55) _________ in the end.
