【文章內容簡介】 f you must repeat yourself again and again. If you39。re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself, then you39。re doing it right. Can an allowance help? Maybe. But if you39。re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for routine housework is not the right message.（1）What is most parents39。 problem with children doing housework? A.They are against the idea.B.They fail to put it into practice.C.They doubt the possibility of it.D.They are finding excuses for their children.（2）Why does the author mention the small study? A.To state the reasons for early success.B.To give examples of some successful people.C.To prove doing housework is beneficial.D.To suggest kids take responsibility for their behavior.（3）According to the survey of American adults, how many of them used to do housework as children? ....（4）Why does the author write the last paragraph? criticize some irresponsible parents. discuss the impact of a good family atmosphere. advise parents to spend more time with their kids. offer parents some advice on assigning children housework.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，作者認為孩子應該分擔家務，這不僅有利于培養(yǎng)他們的責任心，而且能提升他們的幸福感。而且家務能夠讓孩子在家庭和社區(qū)中的關愛角色與他們選擇的任何終身成就目標之間取得平衡，文章最后說明一些關于分配孩子做家務的建議。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段中的“A few parents will declare that their children are too busy for housework. Many more of us assign housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn39。t get done.”一些父母會說他們的孩子太忙了，沒有時間做家務。我們中更多的人會分配家務，或說我們相信他們，但家務就是做不完?？芍贁导议L覺得孩子學業(yè)太忙無暇做家務，但多數家長即便認為孩子該做家務，實際生活中也沒有很好地付諸實踐?？芍獙Υ蠖鄶蹈改竵碚f讓孩子做家務存在的問題是他們沒有把它付諸實踐。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據第三段中的“Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.”那些早期共同承擔的責任擴展到了他們生活的其他領域。可知文章在第二段介紹了孩子做家務的好處，第三段用一項研究具體闡釋了第二段的內容。該研究表明，孩子幼時做家務預示著成年后較早成功，因為做家務過程中培養(yǎng)出的責任感會遷移到生活的其他方面。可知作者提到研究是為了證明讓孩子做家務是有益的。故選C。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第四段中的“Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework.”然而，82%的人稱自己在成長過程中經常做家務，而只有56%的有孩子的人稱自己需要孩子做家務?？芍瑓⑴c調查的1000個人中，82%的人說自己成長過程中經常做家務，即有820人小時候做過家務。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。最后一段中的“What should you do when getting children to do housework?”要讓孩子做家務時你應該做什么?，是本段的主題句，作者在本段就“如何讓孩子參與到家務事中”向家長提供了建議?？芍髡邔懙淖詈笠欢问墙o父母一些關于分配孩子做家務的建議。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 For all the technological wonders of modem medicine, health carewith its fax machines and clipboards(寫字板)—is out of date. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the artificialintelligence ( AI) revolution. Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease and enthusiast for digital medicine, thinks AI will be particularly useful for such tasks as examining images, observing heart traces for abnormalities or turning doctors39。 words into patient records. It will be able to use masses of data to work out the best treatments, and improve workflows in hospitals. In short, AI is set to save time, lives and money. The fear some people have is that AI will be used to deepen the assemblyline culture of modem medicine. If it gives a gift of time to doctors, they argue that this bonus should be used to extend consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently. That is a fine idea, but as health swallows an everbigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is exactly what is needed, at least so far as governments and insurers are concerned. Otherwise, rich societies may fail to cope with the needs of ageing and growing populations. An extra five minutes spent chatting with a patient is costly as well as valuable. The AI revolution will also enable managerial accountants to adjust and evaluate every aspect of treatment. The autonomy of the doctor will surely be weakened, especially, perhaps, in publichealth systems which are dutybound to cut unnecessary costs. The Hippocratic Oath(誓言) holds that there is an art to medicine as well as a science, and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon39。s knife or the chemist39。s drug”. There39。s lots of sense in it: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to recover better. Yet as the supply of human carers fails to satisfy the demand for health care, the future may involve consultations on smartphones and measurements monitored by chatbots. The considerately warmed stethoscope (聽診器) ,placed gently on a patient39。s back, may bee a relic of the past.（1）What39。s Dr Topol39。s attitude toward AI39。s ing into medicine? ....（2）What does the author of the text attach more importance to? costs. wealth. consultation. efficiency.（3）Why is the Hippocratic Oath mentioned? prove the bright future of AI. show the advantage of a human doctor. explain medical equipment is more important. argue a human doctor performs as well as a robot.（4）What may be the best title for the text? care and AI and its applications and Patients Topol and digital medicine【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，盡管現代醫(yī)學創(chuàng)造了許多技術奇跡，但醫(yī)療保健——包括傳真機和剪貼板——已經過時了。隨著人工智能革命的到來，這個過時的時代正在慢慢接近尾聲。作者認為人工智能旨在節(jié)省時間、生命和金錢，對提高效率是很有幫助的。但同時也指出人類醫(yī)生可以和機器人表現得一樣好。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據第二段中的“Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease and enthusiast for digital medicine, thinks AI will be particularly useful”可知Topol醫(yī)生認為認為人工智能將特別有用，即他對人工智能進入醫(yī)學界是持樂觀態(tài)度的，故選C。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第四段中的“That is a fine idea, but as health swallows an everbigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is exactly what is needed, at least so far as governments and insurers are concerned.”可知作者認為但隨著健康吞噬了越來越多的國家財富，提高效率正是我們所需要的。即作者更注重提高效率。故選D。
