A major meeting of computer hackers(黑客)planned for this summer is to include an event that will test the limits of artificial intelligence(AI) tools. The event, in August, will be held as part of the yearly DEF CON hacker meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Organizers say the meeting provides a chance for hackers to hear from leading industry officials about the latest developments n computer security. It also includes hacking competitions.
This year, several major AI developers will take part in DEF CON. Among them will be OpenAI, which launched its latest AI model, ChatGPT-4,in March.
Recently released AI tools are built by feeding huge amounts of information into machine learning computer systems. The data trains the AI systems to develop complex skills and produce human-like results.
Experts have warned that such systems may bring major changes to many different jobs and industries. It affects everyone from managers to workers to housewives. They also fear the tools,known as "chatbots", could greatly increase the amount of misinformation in the news media and on social media.
Chowdhury, an organizer of the hacking event, says the results of the event can provide helpful information to companies looking at ways to safely use the fast-developing AI systems.She notes that the hackers' work will not end after the gathering. They will spend months afterward creating reports on their findings and identifying specific system vulnerabilities(漏洞).
Jack Clark is the co-founder of AI developer Anthropic. He says he hopes the DEF CON event will lead to deeper commitments from AI developers to measure and test the safety of their systems. For this to happen, though, AI systems will need to be examined by third parties both before and after deployment(部署)."We need to get practice at figuring out how to do this. It hasn't really been done before," he says.

2、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
If you're thinking about growing apples, now is the time to test different kinds and talk with local growers. This advice comes from gardening writer Lee Reich. His books include The Pruning(修剪)Book and Weedless Gardening. Reich grows an apple called Hudson's Golden Gem, and he does so for one reason-the taste. He says the fruit's wonderful taste makes it truly special.
When you buy apples at the store, your choice is limited to the 12 or more kinds available for sale. Gardeners, however, have more choices. They can plant any of more than 5,000different kinds of apples.
Gardeners can also harvest their apples just as each kind reaches its moment of perfection.Reich says his Macoun apples taste much better than any Macoun apples found in stores. One reason is that his can be left to ripen until they nearly fall off the tree.
Here are some other flavorful apples to plant. The Ashmead's Kernel apple was first grown more than 200 years ago in a garden belonging to Dr. Ashmead in Gloucester,England.The apple has a reddish, golden brown color. Inside, it has tasty, sharp flesh. Cox's Orange Pippin is another old apple from England. It was first grown by Richard Cox in 1825. This apple's orange and red color makes it unpopular in the American market. But it is loved for its strong taste. Ellison's Orange is another British apple that came from Lincolnshire in 1911. It is a late summer or early autumn apple, golden yellow with stripes,with juicy flesh.
Before you run out to buy trees to grow the kinds you love to eat, Reich does have a warning: Apples are not easy to grow in many parts of the country. The plants require yearly pruning and insect control. But if you're willing to learn how to keep the unwanted insects away,a few kinds of trees chosen for their taste will give you years of good eating.
(1)、What can we infer about Lee Reich?A、He is a teacher. B、He loves planting. C、He grows a very rare kind of flower. D、His books are about how to sell trees.(2)、Why are Reich's Macoun apples tastier than those in the store?A、They are naturally ripe. B、They are planted in the garden. C、They have been picked out carefully. D、They are genetically modified products.(3)、How many types of apples are mentioned in the text?A、Three. B、Four. C、Five. D、Six.(4)、What do you need to do in planting apple trees according to the last paragraph?A、Water enough. B、Read many relative books. C、Pay attention to light and nutrition. D、Prune the trees and remove insects. -

It was a typical weekend for Mitch White and his friends. They were out celebrating a bachelor party, sailing the peaceful waters of the Minnesota River. They never expected that this single party would transform from a relaxed canoe trip into a painful rescue mission. With the sun setting, an unexpected bark changed everything.
Led by Mitch White, the soon-to-be-married man, they searched for the source of the sound along the banks of the river. Suddenly, a weak cry for help came from the mud.

15、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Secret of Growing Flowers
Amy helped her mother in their vegetable garden every day, so the vegetables would be healthy and ready for the market. Amy often pretended the plants she took care of were beautiful chrysants (菊花) , like Mrs. Taylor's prize flowers.
"Foolish girl!" her mother scolded. "No one in our poor village wastes money so foolishly on flowers. Take care of the vegetables. That's our living."
Amy knew her mother was right. The only person in the village who made money by selling flowers was Mrs. Taylor. Every year she won first prize at the Chrysant Festival. Other competitors whispered that Taylor used magic to grow her chrysants.
Amy envied Mrs. Taylor. But chrysants were expensive to start, and Amy could only dream about growing them.
One day, Amy visited Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Taylor was inspecting her chrysants. "Spying on me again!" Taylor frowned. "But, Mrs. Taylor, I only come to see your flowers." Amy took a deep breath. "I wish I could grow beautiful chrysants and win a prize at the festival like you."
"You?" Mrs. Taylor laughed. "Child, do you know what's required to grow such flowers? The secret of growing chrysants has been passed down from my grandfather. Stick to vegetables. Leave flowers to those who know the secret." Taylor pulled up a weak plant and threw it away.
Suddenly Amy had an idea. She asked for Taylor's permission to have that plant, dashed back home, and grew it behind the cottage. She leaned close to the hanging leaves and whispered, "Grow, little flower. You don't have to win a prize. Just grow." She took care of her plant every morning and evening. "You are my beautiful plant," Amy would sing softly, as she weeded and watered it. "Someday, you will bloom (开花) prettier than any flower at the festival." Each time Amy visited her little plant, it looked greener and taller. Time seemed to fly by as the festival neared.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the morning of the festival, when Amy visited her plant again, she screamed with delight.
Amy'schrysant won first prize as Mrs. Taylor had predicted.
