John looked at the shopkeeper and silently mouthed he would pay for the boy's roses.The shopkeeper looked at the boy and said, "OK, I will give you twelve red roses for six dollars."

Open Al, the company behind the popular chatbot has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than GPT-3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger（充电器）, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.But GPT-4's developments don't stop there. The new language model can code（解码） classic games like Tetris（俄罗斯方块） in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout（布局） for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent.For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming Duolingo Max function（功能）. Users can learn language by talking with Al. Another app. Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language.There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 still struggles to get completely correct answers, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes "hallucinates" and it will insist that wrong information is true.42. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. GPT-3.5 can understand pictures as well as GPT-4.B. GPT-4 can code games like Tetris quickly and easily.C. The writer organized the passage by using many dialogues.D. Teachers are worried because GPT-4 does badly in passing tests43. Which of the following sentences should go in the empty box in the fourth paragraph?A. GPT-4 will develop much faster than other apps.B. GPT-4 will become the eyes of the blind people.C. GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services.D. GPT-4 will also help to protect different kinds of languages around the world.44. What does GPT-4 also sometimes "hallucinates" mean in the last paragraph?A. It couldn't get correct answers before Sept 2021.B. It co
