correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
GPT-4 is a new language model created by OpenAI that can generate text that is similar to human
speech. It advances the technology used by ChatGPT, which is currently based on GPT-3.5. The creator of
the model, OpenAI, calls it the company’s “most advanced system, producing safer and more useful
responses.”
According to OpenAI, GPT-4 is much better at both creating and collaborating with users on
creative projects. Examples of these include music, screenplays, technical writing, and even “learning a
user’s writing style.” Another important improvement over the old ChatGPT is that GPT-4 can process up
to 25,000 words of text from the user. You can even just send GPT-4 a web link and ask it to interact with
the text from that page. OpenAI says this can be helpful for the creation of long-form content, as well as
“extended conversations.”
GPT-4 can also now receive images as a basis for interaction. In the example provided by the
creators on the GPT-4 website, the chatbot is given images of a few baking ingredients and is asked what
dishes can be made with them. It is not currently known if videos can also be used in this same way.
Lastly, OpenAI also says GPT-4 is significantly safer to use than the previous generation. It can
reportedly produce 40% more factual responses in OpenAI’s own internal testing, while also being 82%
less likely to “respond to requests for disallowed and harmful content.” OpenAI says it’s been trained with
human feedback to make these strides, claiming to have worked with “over 50 experts for early feedback
in domains including AI safety and security.”

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Five years ago, when Mark Barrow started his project to film along the 65-mile River Wharfe in
Yorkshire, England, he captured footage of majestic shoals of grayling, the fish known as “the Lady of the
Stream”. However, upon his recent return, Barrow was shocked: The water was cloudy with pollution and
the numbers of grayling were reduced to groups of no more than 30 or 40.
Barrow is an underwater photographer and embarked on his project in 2018 to document the river’s
aquatic life. His mission was to show the Wharfe from above and below, using drones and other dedicated
equipment to get footage. Barrow explained: “The original idea wasn’t focused on pollution, though I have
been campaigning against river pollution for 15 years. It was to put a spotlight on the breadth of aquatic
life under the surface of the river, which a lot of people who enjoy the Wharfe might not necessarily think
about.”
As well as grayling, the Wharfe is home to perch, chub, trout, barbel and even mussels. But Barrow
said that he swam through sections of the river which were “completely devoid of life”. The main culprit
for pollution is the sewer overflows that empty directly into the river. He said there were 46 such overflows
installed by utilities companies on the Wharfe, and on multiple occasions, he swam by just as they
discharged into the river – leaving him emerging from the water covered in human waste. “Where I was
once seeing widespread shoals of fish, there are now just pockets of them trapped in the clean water
between the sewage overflows,” he described.
The state of the Wharfe was in a documentary aired on the BBC called Our Troubled Rivers, in which
Barrow was filmed pulling used sanitary products from the river. Currently, he is editing his footage into a
self-funded documentary about the wildlife and waste in the Wharfe, which he is planning to submit to
film festivals next year to mobilize more support. He said: “Something needs to be done now. The River
Wharfe reminds us that our connection to nature is both precious and fragile. We all need to work together
to protect and preserve this magnificent river for generations to come.”
