“I have cancer” Mm said and held me in a tight hug. I culd feel her chest shaking as she tried nt t cry but failed.

T create is human. Fr the past 300,000 years, we’ve been unique in ur ability t make art, cuisine, and scieties t imagine and create smething new where there was nthing befre. Nw we have cmpany. While yu’re reading this sentence, generative artificial intelligence prgrams are respnding t emails, preparing tax returns, and prviding health advice.
Artificial intelligence has already had a wide impact n ur lives. AIs have been used t price medicine and huses, assemble (组装) cars, determine what ads we see n scial media. But generative AI, which can create whlly nvel cntent, is much newer.
Supprters believe this is just the beginning, that generative AI will change the way we wrk and engage with the wrld, unlck creativity and scientific discveries, and allw human beings t achieve previusly unimaginable gals.
This shift marks the mst imprtant technlgical breakthrugh since scial media. Generative AI tls have been adpted greedily in recent mnths by the public, thanks t prgrams like ChatGPT, which respnds t virtually any questin, and Dall-E, which allws yu t prduce any image yu dream up. In January, ChatGPT reached 100 millin mnthly users.
This craze caught ff guard many tech cmpanies and has stimulated an intense race in Silicn Valley. In weeks, Micrsft and Ggle have shifted their entire crprate strategies t seize cntrl f what they believe prfitable. Micrsft is investing $10 billin in Open AI, creatr f ChatGPT and Dall-E, and annunced plans t integrate generative AI int its Office sftware and search engine. Ggle declared a “cde red” crprate emergency in respnse t the success f ChatGPT and rushed its wn search-riented chatbt t market.
But this gld rush culd als prve disastrus. In a winner-takes-all battle fr pwer, these cmpanies risk repeating past mistakes, such as priritizing grwth ver safety. While there are many ptentially gd aspects f these new technlgies, even tls designed fr gd can have unfreseen I and ruinus cnsequences. This is the stry f hw the gld rush began—and what histry tells us abut what culd happen next.
8. Which f the fllwing is the particular functin f generative AI?
A. Price gds.B. Build vehicles.
C. Decide ads n scial media.D. Offer health suggestins.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The functins f generative AI.B. The prgrams f generative AI.
C. Peple’s interest in generative AI.D. Cmpanies’ investment in generative AI.
10. What des Micrsft plan t d?
A. Shift its fcus t Office sftware.
B. Invest in anther generative AI start-up.
C. Integrate its search engine int Office sftware.
D. Cmbine generative AI with its existing prducts.
11. Why des the authr mentin the gld rush in the last paragraph?
A T emphasise the imprtance f histry.
B. T advcate the use f new technlgies.
C. T put ff the develpment f generative AI.
D. T warn f the ptential danger f generative AI.

Music streaming platfrms (平台) such as Sptify and Apple Music have cmpletely changed hw peple listen t music nwadays. By paying very affrdable prices, peple can access music very easily. Hwever, while these platfrms may prvide benefits fr sme artists, up-and-cming artists are being left behind because they nly fcus n big names and creating prfits.
Because f COVID-19, musicians have nt been able t tur r perfrm live in many cuntries, which cntributes t a large part f their incme. In a YuTube interview, up-and-cming Texas artist Mbey mentined that “The majrity f my incme cmes frm playing live shws. Usually that means arund 50% — 70% f what we expect t make in a year”. With these factrs, small artists are finding it increasingly difficult t make it in the industry due t the lack f investment (投资) int new talent.
Small artists n Sptify and Apple Music can expect t make little t nthing. An artist n Sptify can expect t earn an average f $0.003 per stream r arund $3 per 1,000 streams fr ne f their sngs. On Apple Music, artists can expect t make a little mre with an average f $0.01 per stream, r arund $10 with 1,000 streams. Even if they culd hit arund 1,000 streams, they have t pay music distributin (分发) platfrms needed fr their music t be shwn n the streaming platfrms such as DistrKid, whse cheapest plan is $20.
A new artist wuld find it very difficult t prmte their music utside f their scial media accunts which may nt even have a large amunt f fllwers. They prbably cannt get large amunts f streams n their music since it is nt being prmted due t the lack f expsure (宣传) they have n scial media.
With the takever f music streaming platfrms, many artists are finding it increasingly difficult t make a sustainable (可持续的) living frm their lve fr music. A simple way these platfrms can enable new artists t keep making music is t increase their payuts per stream fr their music. Hpefully the music streaming industry will make similar changes t imprve the situatin f their artists.
12. What is the prblem with music streaming platfrms?
A. They ignre small artists.B. They are nt user-friendly.
C They are very difficult t manage.D. They limit the number f small artists’ sngs.
13. What d artist Mbey’s wrds center n?
A. His lack f investment.B. His ttal incme in a year.
C. The main surce f his incme.D. The reasn fr his fewer live shws.
14. What d the figures in paragraph 3 shw?
A. Hw a music streaming platfrm wrks.
B. Small artists’ hpe fr music streaming platfrms.
C. Small artists’ dislike fr music streaming platfrms.
D. Why small artists earn little n music streaming platfrms.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Music streaming platfrms: D they really put prfits first?
B. Music streaming platfrms: Are they a chance r challenge t artists?
C. Music streaming platfrms: Have they harmed the industry fr artists?
D. Music streaming platfrms: Culd they ffer music lvers better services?
