ChatGPT is one consumer-facing deep learning model. GPT is a(n) 21 for “generative pre-trained
transformer,” meaning that it is able to generate responses based on a large language model. Artificial

how these processes and programs work in real terms. As you will see, while the concept of AI sounds very

The economic conditions that necessitate the construction of very high buildings on narrow lots first emerged
as a decisive factor in New York City. Intensive land use, with the resulting speculative traffic in real estate,
was itself a consequence of more powerful and pervasive forces. Industrial expansion was the primary factor,
and in the period following the American Civil War much of that expansion continued to be concentrated in
New England and the Middle Atlantic states. Financial institutions had long been located mainly in Boston,
but the center was rapidly shifting to New York around the time of the War. A new pattern of close
interdependence among industries demanded centralization of business administration. The leadership of New
York City as an ocean port, along with its proximity to major arteries of land transportation, was a local factor
that helped to make the city an irresistible magnet. Its power to attract, once established, has never waned;
even today it is a primary administrative and banking center. The financial resources for the high building were
there; the development of safe elevator transportation and the organization of construction facilities soon made
them a reality.
31 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
Buying Real Estate for Speculation in New England
The Development of New York City as a Business Center
New Patterns of Transportation in the Middle Atlantic States
The Building Construction Industry during the American Civil War

most manufacturing cities were located close by

the real estate business was highly developed there
nearby mineral resources facilitated industrial development
34 Which of the following did NOT contribute to the rapid construction of high-rise buildings in New York
City?

sufficient monetary backing the increased availability of land

All whales fall into two groups, those with teeth and those without. Both beluga and dolphins belong to the
suborder of toothed whales known as Odontoceti, along with porpoises, narwhales, pilot whales, killer whales,
and the largest toothed creature in the world, the sperm whale. Size differences among the Odontoceti are
remarkable. A common porpoise will run only 4 or 5 feet in length and 300 pounds in weight; a sperm whale
may be 10 times as long and 300 times as heavy. The beluga falls in between, weighing up to 2,000 pounds.
And it does chirp. In fact, it makes a great variety of squeaking, whistling, and clicking sounds, which have
earned it the name of sea canary. The toothless, or baleen, whales belong to the suborder of Mysticeti. This is
a group of generally large whales, formerly abundant in all the oceans of the world. Though reduced by
hunting, most species are still found along the coasts of the United States and Canada. All but two of the
Mysticeti reach 40 feet or more at maturity, with the blue whale running up to 100 feet and tipping the scales
at up to 130 tons. This whale is by far the largest creature that has ever lived on the Earth, 4 times the weight
of the largest dinosaur, and 30 times that of an elephant.
36 With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?
Breeding habits of whales Efforts to preserve whales
The intelligence of whales Differences between whales
37 The author compares the beluga whale with ______.
a bird a giant an elephant a submarine
38 According to the passage, the suborder of Mysticeti is distinguished from the suborder of Odotoceti by
the absence of ______.
ears fins color teeth
39 Which of the following is mentioned by the author as a reason why the baleen whale population has been
reduced?
disease hunting
insufficient supply of food increased pollution of the seas
40 According to the passage, which of the following accurately describes the relative sizes of two whales?
The beluga is larger than the blue whale.
The porpoise is larger than the killer whale.
The blue whale is larger than the sperm whale.
The killer whale is larger than the sperm whale.
