A study conducted by Cornell University examined how the use of AI in conversations impacts the way people express themselves and view each other.

The researchers have found people have more efficient conversations, use more positive language and perceive each other more positively when using an Al-enabled chat tool.

However, the group also found that when participants think their partner is using more AI-suggested responses, they consider that partner as less cooperative.

"I was surprised to find people tend to evaluate you more negatively simply because they suspect you're using AI to help compose text, regardless of whether you actually are," said Jess Hohenstein, the lead researcher. "This illustrates the continuous overall doubt that people seem to have around AI."

For their first experiment, participants were asked to talk about a policy issue and assigned to one of three conditions: both participants can use smart replies; only one participant can use smart replies; or neither participant can use smart replies. Researchers found that using smart replies increased communication efficiency, positive emotional language and positive evaluations by communication partners. On average, smart replies accounted for 14.3% of sent messages.

But participants who their partners suspected of responding with smart replies were evaluated more negatively than those who were thought to have typed their own responses, consistent with common assumptions about the negative implications of AI.

"While Al might be able to help you write," Hohenstein said, "it's altering your language in ways you might not expect, especially by making you sound more positive. This suggests that by using text-generating Al, you're giving up some of your own personal voice."

Malte Jung, an associate professor, said, "What we observe in this study is the impact that Al has on social dynamics and some of the unintended consequences that could result from integrating AI in social contexts. This suggests that whoever controls the algorithm(算法) may have influence on people's interactions, language and insights into each other."

(1) What is the text mainly about? A. Methods of using AI in conversations. B. Efficiency of using AI in conversations. C. Convenience of using AI in conversations. D. Impacts of using AI in conversations.
(2) How do the researchers draw their conclusion? A. By analyzing figures. B. By making use of AI. C. By making experiments. D. By completing questionnaires.
(3) Which statement does Hohenstein agree with? A. Al always expresses in ways you expect. B. Algorithm will never influence people's insights. C. Trust can be affected by using AI in conversation. D. You will regain your voice by using AI in conversation.
(4) How will a person feel about suspecting his partner's using smart replies? A. Nervous. B. Uncomfortable. C. Excited. D. Puzzled.

1. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 

 Imagine a future where science has created your twin. Not a flesh-and-blood twin, but one that recreates your flesh and blood, your bones, your heart, your brain — your whole body, in fact — as an extremely complicated computer model.  

 Your doctors can use this digital twin to work out how you will respond to a particular drug or medical procedure. They can even look further into the future, creating a " healthcast" , to forecast what diseases might happen to you or how your lifestyle will affect your health as you age. It is the ultimate in personalized medicine. This is the bold vision set out in Virtual You: How building your digital twin will revolutionize medicine and change your life by Peter Coveney, director of the Centre for Computational Science, and Roger Highfield, science director of the Science Museum Group, UK.  

 Digital twins are already in widespread use in industries such as civil engineering. But these model systems are much simpler than the complex human body. Imagine all the parts that come together to make you work: from the 3 billion letters of your genome (基因组), the numerous molecules (分子) that make up your cells, the trillions of cells building your tissues and organs, and the environment having its input too. Now, imagine trying to create a model of this that is made to each unique individual and that predicts the changes that will take place over a lifetime. This is easier said than done. Changes in the systems biologists want to describe are usually different from what mathematicians describe as " non-linear" (非线性的). Another complication is " emergence" : where the whole of a system is greater than the sum of its parts. This complexity challenges mathematics and pushes computing to the limit too.  

 But getting to the next level — a whole human individual — is going to require yet more data and a revolution in computing technology far beyond what is currently possible. Whether we will get there is an open question, but Virtual You shows us what scientists from different fields can achieve when they all work together.  

(1) What be learned about your science-made twin according to paragraph 1?  A. Your twin looks just like you. B. Your twin knows your thoughts. C. Your twin exists on the computer. D. Your twin is created out of your DNA.
(2) Why is it difficult to build a digital twin?  A. Human body is more complicated than models. B. Digital twins are not widely used in industries. C. Scientists lack enough data in building it. D. Mathematicians and biologists hold different opinions.
(3) What' s the author' s attitude towards the idea of a digital twin?  A. Optimistic. B. Uncertain. C. Unconcerned. D. Skeptical.
(4) What is the purpose of this text?  A. To stress the necessity of digital twins. B. To show the effects of digital twins on future health. C. To explain the building of digital twins in health. D. To introduce new treatments for diseases in the future.

2. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Humans have sailed the oceans' surfaces for millennia, but their depths remain effectively uncharted. Only about a quarter of the seafloor has been mapped at high performance. Maps of most regions display only approximate depths and often miss entire underwater mountains or valleys. 

So a group of researchers has selected some deep-diving experts: Elephant Seals and Weddell Seals. Scientists have been placing trackers(跟踪装置)on these marine mammals around Antarctica compared these divers' location and depth data with some of the less detailed seafloor maps. They for years, gathering data on ocean temperature and salinity. For a new study, the researchers spotted places where the seals(海豹)dove deeper than should have been possible according to the maps—meaning the existing depth estimates were inaccurate. 

In eastern Antarctica's Vincennes Bay, the diving seals helped the scientists find a large, hidden underwater valley. An Australian research ship called the RSV Nuyina later measured the valley's exact depth using sonar(声 呐). "The seals discovered the valley, and the ship confirmed it," says Clive McMahon, a researcher at the Integrated Marine Observing System in Australia and a co-author of the new study. 

But seals can't map the entire ocean floor. The trackers used in the study could mark a seal's geographical location only within about 1.5 miles, which allows for useful but not exactly high-resolution data. Plus, because the seals don't always dive to the bottom of the ocean, they can show only where the bottom is deeper than in existing maps—not shallower. McMahon notes that scientists could improve on these data by means of more precise GPS trackers and analyzing the seals' diving patterns to determine whether they have reached the seafloor or simply stopped going down. 

The current seal-dive data can still be valuable for an important task, says Anna Wahlin, an oceanographer at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. The deep ocean around Antarctica is warmer than the icy waters at the surface, and seafloor valleys can allow that warmer water to flow to the ice along the continent's coast, Wahlin explains. To predict how Antarctica's ice will melt, scientists will need to know where those valleys are and how deep they go. 

(1) What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. Humans are at the mercy of the oceans. B. The oceans are too vast to describe. C. Humans have taken charge of the oceans. D. The oceans call for further exploration.
(2) In what way have scientists carried forward their research? A. By equipping the seals with advanced devices. B. By following the seals to the deeper seafloor. C. By using sonar to measure the sea directly. D. By checking the previous seafloor maps.
(3) What does McMahon suggest scientists do for further research? A. Train the seals' diving ability. B. Update the existing ocean map. C. Turn to more exact GPS trackers. D. Seek cooperation opportunities.
(4) What does Anna Wahlin think of the research with seals? A. It's greatly creative. B. It's a little incredible. C. It's highly significant. D. It's a little impractical.

The topic of "crossing your legs" has been hotly discussed on the Internet recently. The truth is that crossing one leg over the other, a common sitting posture preferred by many people, may actually do harm to one's health. So while seated, try not to do so any more.

Whether it is at the office, in a waiting room or relaxing at home, many people' s go-to posture is one leg over the other, crossed at the knee. If you're like many of us, you spend too many hours of your day seated and for most of that time, you have crossed your legs for comfort.

One study found that people who sat with their legs crossed for more than three hours a day were more likely to lean forward and to round their shoulders. But the research relied on people's own estimations of how long they crossed their legs for.

When you cross your legs, you are putting compression and pressure on your leg and knee joints and nerves. The way you sit is a huge determinant of your health and the way your body moves and functions. Sitting with your legs crossed leaves your hips uneven and forces your pelvic bone (盆骨) to rotate. Therefore, the longer you sit in this uneven position, the more pressure is placed on your knee and spine (脊柱), increasing the likelihood that it will develop into a long-term issue.

If seated long, then more importantly for you, cultivate and develop a healthy habit of sitting position. And here are the followings. Switch sitting positions often. Take brief walks around your office or home. Gently stretch your muscles every so often to help relieve muscle tension. Keep your feet on the floor, with your ankles in front of your knees. Relax your shoulders; they should not be rounded. Keep your elbows in close to your body and let them be bent between 90 and 120 degrees. Make sure that your back, thighs and hips are fully supported. Try doing those and maybe some of them fit you.

(1) Why do many people like to be seated "crossing their legs"? A. They do so just for sort of ease. B. They want their legs to take up more space. C. They think it's a power move. D. It is a common sitting posture preferred by the most.
(2) Which of the following may not be the "harm" that the long "cross-legged" position leads to? A. Your hips are in an unbalanced position. B. Your spine supports more pressure. C. Your pelvic bone is forced to rotate. D. You may lean forward.
(3)  How many proposals does the author speak about to those seated long in the text? A. 9. B. 7. C. 5. D. 3.
(4) What might the author mainly want to tell us? A. What a common sitting posture is. B. The cross-legged position is popular. C. Don't cross your legs any longer. D. Being seated long is unhealthy.
