【正文】 lyzing patients39。By storing blood samples.C. He found the technique forecast outes of patients with kidney problems with up to 95 per cent accuracy. Traditional methods highlighting serious patient concerns picked up as few as 16 percent of patients who went on to die. This gives us the opportunity not only to save lives but to prevent serious illness, making the health service not only safer but more efficient. Prof Young said, Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier.（1）What does the underlined phrase screen in Paragraph2 mean? A. The technology is the brainchild of Dr Vishal Nangalia, a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He used AI to analyse a billion stored blood samples from 20 different UK hospital trusts dating back up to 12 years. Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill.fortspot cases.C.To show the influence of AI.B.It helps patients recover earlier.B. （1）考查詞義猜測。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was—and signals a pletely new example in the way we manage healthcare. 楊教授認為，人工智能在醫(yī)療保健領(lǐng)域的潛力與工業(yè)革命一樣大，以此類比，說明人工智能在醫(yī)療領(lǐng)域的影響力。故選C。 And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly billion Wikipedia search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search rates for insects, horsetails and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals.s biological diversity. It also shows new ways to see how much people care about nature, and which species and areas might be the most effective targets for conservation.s a concern among conservationists (生態(tài)環(huán)境保護者) that people are losing touch with the natural world and that they39。s care about nature. about people39。這一發(fā)現(xiàn)提出了監(jiān)測世界生物多樣性變化的新方法。故選D。故選B。故選C。故選A。 The study reports the newlydeveloped rice produces proteins that attach directly to the HIV virus. This process prevents the virus from mixing with human cells. The scientists say it can remove the effect of the virus and block its spreading. The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.（1）What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A.Introduce HIV to the public.（2）In which way will the rice be used at the lowest cost? A.By processing it into a cream.（3）What can we infer about the genetic engineering process? A.It applies to the developed world.（4）From which is the text probably taken? A.A first aid brochure.【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了科學家培育出可預(yù)防艾滋病病毒感染的轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻。盡管口服藥物治療已經(jīng)有了進展減緩了疾病的發(fā)展，但現(xiàn)在還沒有治愈艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方法”。根據(jù)第五段中的“They say the easiest and most costeffective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin.”可知，最簡單、最劃算的使用方法是將大米制成面霜涂在皮膚上。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.”可知，科學研究小組認為要進一步的測試，以確?；蚬こ踢^程不會產(chǎn)生任何可能對人類有害的額外化學物質(zhì)?？v觀全文可知，本文介紹了最近的一項研究，一種新的轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻可以預(yù)防艾滋病病毒的感染。 Humpback whales belong to the rorqual (groovethroated) family, which includes fin, sei, Bryde39。They are large and likely to grow longer than 15 metres.C. migration?

It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen.RAS bines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected, said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.D.It can cook for owners on its own.（3）What39。Negative.C.B.D. （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“ While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been promising”可知，Minor對這款機器人的未來發(fā)展充滿信心、非常樂觀，故選C。 performance ”可知，機器人目前還在華盛頓州立大學的智能屋里進行測試，故選B。 Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive. He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support his opinion.s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fightorflight response. Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health. And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone39。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。故選D。故選C。而且它可能會為每個人的心臟健康提供一點額外的保護。根據(jù)第二段中的“Dr. Chockalingam,
