Researchers at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp，a state-owned defense contractor，have developed and made the world's first robot whale shark.
Designed and built by engineers at the Shenyang-based No. 111 Factory，the underwater robot is 4.7 metres long，weighs 350 kilograms and can move 42 metres a minute.
Powered by a lithium battery，it can swim，turn，float and dive like a real shark by moving its mechanical fins(鳍). The mouth and gills(鳃)can also open and close like a shark's. The biomimetic shark is made up of sensors，multi-joint fins，batteries，and systems which enable it to avoid what's in the way in all directions.
"The robot can reach a depth of 10 metres and work for as long as 10 hours，" said Fang Xuelin，a senior researcher.
"The shark can be remotely controlled and can also swim based on preset programs or its own sensors，" he said.
"We have built multiple kinds of robot fishes，and the robotic whale shark is the largest mechanical fish we have made so far，" Fang added. "Our robots are to serve three purposes—to perform in aquariums for entertainment，to spread knowledge about the sea and aquatic(水生的)animals among youngsters，and to carry out scientific tasks such as hydrological surveys，underwater photography and environmental inspection."
"The factory now plans to develop more types of aquatic robots，including some extinct mammals(哺乳动物)，for display in parks and schools. It will also promote the products to businesses engaged in fields such as underwater salvage and mineral prospecting，" he said.

第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
A powerful robot named ChatGPT has been made by an American company OpenAI. It's developed to make up human-like texts. It can translate languages，talk with people and write songs，poems and even jokes. 41. If you ask the robot to write a bedtime story，just type in(输入)"A cat wants to go to space". One second later，you'll get a story of a cat called Max，who is on his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars.
42. They posted their results on social media. Some asked it to take notes or give advice on how to communicate with people at a party. Some wrote historical articles with it.
The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of difficult matters. We may spend hours researching，understanding and writing an article on a certain topic. 43. Another good thing about it is that if you ask harmful questions，it will not give you an answer.
ChatGPT appears at a time when AI is becoming better at doing creative tasks. The system can produce something similar to humans' own works. 44. But the creation of art should also be a lot more personal. So people have many worries about that. However，ChatGPT is a completely new thing. It is natural for it to cause some problems. 45.
A. People around the world tried ChatGPT.
B. It has the writing skills of a real person.
C. We expect the problems to be solved over time.
D. People start depending on ChatGPT for artworks.
E. Nowadays few people use ChatGPT to write or draw.
F. But ChatGPT can produce a well-written article at once.
