Science journals ban listing of ChatGPT as co-author on papers
The publishers of thousands of scientific journals have banned or restricted contributors’ use of an advanced AI-
driven chatbot amid the concerns 1 it could pepper academic literature with flawed and even fabricated
research.
ChatGPT, a fluent but flaky chatbot developed by OpenAI in California, has impressed or distressed more than
a million human users by rattling out poems, short stories, essays and even personal advice since its launch in
November.
2 the chatbot has proved a huge source of fun -- its take on how to free a peanut butter sandwich from
a VCR, in the style of the King James Bible, is one notable hit -- the program can also produce fake scientific
abstracts that are convincing enough to fool human reviewers.
ChatGPT’s more legitimate (legal) uses in article preparation have already led to it 3 (credit) as a co-
author on a handful of papers.
The sudden arrival of ChatGPT has promoted a scramble published to respond. On Thursday, Holden Thorp, the
editor-in-chief of the leading US journal Science, announced an updated editorial policy, banning the use of text
from ChatGPT and clarifying that the program could not be listed as an author.
“Given the craze that has built up around this, it’s a good idea to make 4 absolutely clear that we will
not permit ChatGPT to be an author or to have its text 5 (use) in papers,” Thorp said.
Leading scientific journals require authors to sign a form 6 (declare) that they are accountable 7
their contribution to the work. Since ChatGPT cannot do this, it cannot be an author, Thorp says.
But even using ChatGPT in the preparation of a paper is problematic, he believes. ChatGPT makes plenty of
errors, which could find their way into the literature, he says, and if scientists come 8 (rely) on AI
programs to prepare literature reviews or summarize their findings, the proper context of the work and the deep
scrutiny(inspection) that results deserve could be lost. “That is the opposite direction of where we need to go,” he
said.
Other publishers have made similar changes. On Tuesday, Springer-Nature, which publishes nearly 3,000
journals, updated its guidelines to state that ChatGPT cannot be listed as an author. But the publisher has not banned
ChatGPT outright. The tool, and others like it, can still be used in the preparation of papers, provided that full details
9 (reveal) in the manuscript.
Elsevier, which publishes about 2,800 journals, including Cell and the Lancet, has taken a similar stance to
Springer-Nature, 10 guidelines allow the use of AI tools to improve the readability and language of the
research article, but not to replace key tasks that should be done by the authors, such as interpreting data or drawing
scientific conclusions.

Stepney Words
Chris Searle’s journey as a teacher at Sir John Cass Secondary School in Stepney, East London, began in
1970. He was driven by a strong 11 to the area and a progressive vision for education. Having completed a
postgraduate thesis (论文) on Isaac Rosenberg, a poet from the East End, Searle saw Stepney as a place filled with
potential, in spite of its 12 as a hopeless community. He believed that education, particularly through poetry,
could transform the lives of his students, many of whom came from low-income, high-risk backgrounds.
Searle’s 13 approach conflicted with the traditional views of the school’s governors and teachers. At a
time when discipline was harsh and students were often regarded as troublemakers, Searle viewed these 14
teenagers as individuals with untapped potential. He believed that poetry could unlock their creativity and help them
express their experiences, offering them a sense of hope and purpose.
His belief in poetry’s power materialized in the creation of Stepney Words, a collection of his students’
poems. Despite the 15 from some staff who thought his methods too liberal, the poems gained attention, and
some of them were even published in The Sun newspaper by March 1971. The 16 gave the students a voice,
but it also drew criticism from school officials who thought the poems were “too gloomy.”
Searle’s progressive ideals led to his 17 from the school. However, his students, 18 by the
decision, organized a protest led by 16-year-old Zenaida de la Cruz. The entire school quickly 19 , standing
together with Searle. On his return to the school, he found 800 students standing outside the gates in the rain,
showing their support.
Though the government eventually allowed him to return, he decided to leave the school in 1974. His
commitment to education did not end there — he continued to teach around the world and published his own poetry,
leaving behind a(n) 20 impact of optimism, innovation, and faith in the power of education to bring about
change.

A few years ago, I found myself really burnt out. I was struggling to motivate myself and looking at my
calendar started filling me with a sort of low-grade fear.
But the 21 part for me was that on the surface there wasn’t any obvious reason why I would be so
tired. It didn’t seem 22 . Sure, I was busy, but no more busy than anyone else. So what was wrong with
me?
But when I couldn’t shake it off after a few weeks and when I 23 more serious health issues, it
became clear that what I was experiencing was, in fact, burnout. And at a certain point it hit me: my burnout wasn’t
stemming from my distant past; it had actually been more than a decade in the 24 . I realized that I’d been
25 to truly relaxing for at least 15 years. Even when I had “time off”, I never actually relaxed. I never let myself
off the hook. Taking downtime made me feel 26 , which was hard to detect — but 27 . And over
time it wore me down, physically and mentally.
Job burnout is very real, but it is not the only cause of burnout. We tend to think that taking a rest or a break
from work will always 28 our burnout. But because we can also get burnt out from other, less obvious
causes, the cures are often less obvious as well. We can get burnt out from years of stress, 29 emotions
and simply living the wrong life for us. If your cause of burnout stems from one of those less obvious places, you are
going to have to do a little more digging to figure out the cause of your 30 .
Assuming you can’t quit your life and go chill on a beach for a few years, what does 31 from
burnout look like? The first cure is rest. And I mean true rest, not rest where you feel stressed and guilty for resting.
It also helps to think through where your particular burnout originates from. After identifying the 32
of your burnout, then you can get honest with yourself about what you can do to help yourself. If it’s overworking,
the obvious cure is a shift in the way you operate and very 33 rest and downtime. It will depend on what’s
feasible for you, but if you find yourself in a job or career that you cannot, practically speaking, 34 , the
question is how can you create more rest outside work? I recommend, in addition to 35 , working with a
great therapist to help unpack your emotions and trauma, gain coping mechanisms to heal, and avoid burnout in the
future.

Creative writing is part of being a kid. Writing and reading wild stories of lost kingdoms and Mars colonies
help the imagination grow strong. But a recent study uncovers an interesting, perhaps even discouraging, trend: This
generation of kids seems to prefer narrative realism when they write.
In a study published in Creativity Research Journal, researchers at the Harvard Graduate School of Education
and the University of Washington asked the question, “How have the style, content, and form of adolescents’ art-
making and creative writing evolved over the last 20 years? ”
To answer that question, researcher Emily Weinstein examined traditional hallmarks of creativity, such as
originality, complexity, and sophistication, in two distinct eras of teenage self-expression. After analyzing 354 visual
artworks and 50 fiction stories from two separate time periods (1990-1995 and 2006-2011), there’s good and bad
news.
The good news? Adolescent visual proficiency has improved. The bad news: Teen creativity and technical
skill in writing have declined. Instead of imagining Martian neighborhoods, the app generation has been describing
their own summer plans.
Why is this happening? From the study: “The observed domain changes could undeniably be the result of any
number of societal changes over the period of interest. Two changes highlighted by Kim (2011), however, may be
particularly relevant to high school students’ experiences and their creative expression: the increase in digital media
technologies and the rise of standardized testing in schools.”
This is a small study, but if it inspires you to think about how to develop the imaginations of the kids and
teens you know, may we suggest this option: Read and share fiction that sparks wonder and possibility. That means
genre fiction: science fiction and fantasy that pulls you out of narrative realism and into a world of possibility. If you
already love science fiction and fantasy, I encourage you to plant seeds of inspiration by sharing your favorite
science fiction and fantasy authors with a teenager or young person you like.
39．What is the focus of Emily Weinstein’s research?
A．The impact of modern technology on adolescents’ creativity.
B．The relationship between visual proficiency and creative writing.
C．The change in adolescents’ creative writing and art-making.
D．The reason why reading plays an important role in developing creativity.
40．What did the researchers conclude about this generation of kids?
A．Teens no longer write realistically, but have improved their ability to write creatively.
B．Digital media technologies have improved adolescents’ visual skills as well as their ability to write
creatively.
C．Adolescents prefer realism to fantasy because the latter is not relevant to their life.
D．Teens’ writing skills are not as good as they used to be, and their writing tends to be less creative than it was
before.
41．Which of the following factors contributes to the change in adolescents’ creative writing ability?
A．The fear of being considered weird.
B．The lack of high-quality science fictions.
C．The overwhelming pressure from study. D．The wide use of standardized testing in schools.
42．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Having teens read science fiction and fantasy novels is a good way to develop their imaginations.
B．Teens will have trouble going beyond narrative realism in their writing.
C．Sharing your favourite writers with a teen or young person is a good way to get them to reduce their use of
technology.
D．Reading wild stories does not necessarily help the imagination grow strong

In the genetic age, ecologists’ jobs are made much easier by two things. One is that every organism carries its
own chemical identity card, in the form of its genome (基因组). The second is that they drop these ID cards
everywhere they go. Urine, bits of fur stuck to a hedge, even shed skin cells: all deposit DNA into the environment.
Cheap gene sequencing allows scientists to harvest this “environmental DNA” (eDNA) from soil, sand, water and
the like, and use it to keep track of which species are living where.
“Every organism,” of course, includes humans. In a paper published on May 15th in Nature Ecology &
Evolution, a group of researchers from America and Europe report that such eDNA surveys pick up large quantities
of human DNA as well as the animal sort. That DNA can be read—and potentially matched with individuals—by
anyone with the right equipment.
The researchers did not set out to study “inadvertent human genetic bycatch”, as they call the phenomenon.
The work began at the Witney Sea Turtle Hospital in Florida, during an investigation into a viral turtle disease. The
researchers sampled water from the turtle’s tanks, as well as from ocean water and beaches upon which the creatures
nested, looking for viral DNA．
They expected to sweep up DNA from other species during their trawl ( 拖网). What was surprising,
according to Jessica Farrell, a biologist at the Witney Hospital and one of the paper’s authors, was just how much
human DNA they found. Even though many of their sampling sites were not near towns and cities, they found
human genetic material in every sample they examined.
Interested, they expanded their search. In both Florida and in Ireland they found human DNA in rivers, with
concentrations especially high as they flowed through towns. They found it in beach sand, and even in air from
rooms in which humans had been working. Human DNA is not quite everywhere: it was not detectable in deep ocean
water, or on remote beaches closed to the public. But anywhere that humans are, their DNA appears to be as well.
In one sense, that is unsurprising. But advances in gene-sequencing meant there was enough information in
the samples to deduce plenty of things about the humans in question. The researchers could pick out males thanks to
DNA from the Y chromo some. They could infer an individual’s ancestry, and even spot mutations (突变) that
affect a person’s disease risk. David Duffy, another of the paper’s authors, said the amount and quality of the DNA
they recovered “far exceeded” the minimum necessary to be included in America’s database of missing people. Dr
Duffy and his colleagues did not try to identify individuals in their study, for moral reasons. But they had no doubt it
could be done.
43．Which of the following about eDNA is true according to the passage?
A．It provides a way to track the migration of animals.
B．It allows researchers to restore individual organisms.
C．It can be easily collected from all types of environments.
D．It contains a wealth of genetic information about various species.
44．In this passage, the word “inadvertent” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to “__________”.
A．familiar
B．accidental
C．insensitive
D．regular
45．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The application of eDNA for identity confirmation has aroused concern.
B．As expected, the researchers detected much human eDNA in their search.
C．An individual’s gender and ancestry can be confirmed by means of eDNA．
D．eDNA is instrumental in upgrading America’s database of missing people.
46．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．Unintended Discoveries in Turtle Disease Research
B．The Ecological Significance of Environmental DNA
C．Human DNA’s Prevalence in Environmental Samples
D．Using Genetic Information to Identify Missing Persons

The Fight for a Clean Energy Future
Net zero climate policies are increasingly under threat. Elected far-right populists and authoritarian oil-rich
states are pushing back against global climate efforts. Meanwhile, Europe is facing yet another summer of record-
breaking heatwaves. 47
Yet UN secretary general António Guterres offered a note of hope in a recent speech. “The sun is rising on a
clean energy age,” he said, highlighting the falling costs of solar and wind energy. He warned of future gas-price
shocks and urged major tech companies — whose energy-hungry data centres are driving up electricity demand —
to commit to using 100% low-carbon power by 2030.
Given US president Donald Trump’s open hostility toward renewable energy, Mr. Guterres may be right to
focus on businesses rather than politicians. In Scotland this week, Mr. Trump once again launched a misleading
attack on wind turbines. 48 This makes him a uniquely damaging figure — but he’s not alone. In
several countries, populist parties are stepping up their opposition to climate goals.
49 Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has questioned net zero and even suggested leaving
the Paris Agreement. Her acting shadow energy secretary accused the UN’s top climate scientists of bias.
Labour’s Ed Miliband responded firmly, calling such attitudes anti-science and irresponsible. With the UN
climate deadline approaching, political courage is essential. The goal of tripling global renewable capacity by 2030
is still far out of reach.
50 Grid systems need upgrading. Supply chains must be improved. Labour’s proposal for
fairer billing through a social energy tariff (关税) could protect vulnerable households. Real progress will take
honesty, ambition — and determination.
A．In the UK, views that once belonged to the political extremes have moved into the
mainstream.
B．He says he backs green energy and believes wind and solar should play a role in the energy
mix.
C．The world’s failure to reduce carbon emissions remains deeply concerning.
D．Domestically, Britain must ensure a fair and well-planned green transition.
E．Public awareness of energy issues is growing, but many remain unsure about what net zero
really means.
F．He also supports the cancellation of major green investments.

Intermittent Fasting: A New Approach to Health and Longevity
In recent years, intermittent fasting (IF) has gained popularity worldwide as a lifestyle choice to improve
health. Unlike traditional dieting, IF does not focus on what people eat but rather when they eat. The most common
patterns include the 16/8 method, which limits food intake to an eight-hour window each day, and the 5:2 method, in
which people eat normally for five days but restrict calories on two non-consecutive days.
Advocates of IF believe it benefits the body in multiple ways. Firstly, it may support weight management. By
limiting eating hours, people often consume fewer calories, which helps reduce body fat. For example, someone who
usually snacks late at night might naturally avoid extra calories by following IF. Moreover, fasting periods allow the
body to use stored energy more effectively, promoting metabolic flexibility.
Secondly, IF may reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Studies suggest that fasting can lower blood sugar,
improve insulin sensitivity, and decrease inflammation—factors closely linked to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular
disease. Some studies have even noted improvements in blood pressure and cholesterol, though more long-term
evidence is still needed. Additionally, fasting may enhance cellular repair processes, such as autophagy, which
removes damaged cells and promotes longevity.
Thirdly, IF is often easier to follow compared with strict diets that ban certain foods. Since no food groups are
forbidden, individuals can enjoy a balanced diet during eating windows, making the approach more sustainable in
the long term. For instance, a person can still enjoy family meals or social gatherings without feeling restricted, as
long as these fall within the eating period.
Nevertheless, IF is not suitable for everyone. Pregnant women, children, or individuals with certain medical
conditions may experience negative effects. Some people may also struggle with hunger, fatigue, or overeating
during eating periods. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before starting an
intermittent fasting plan.
