【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 subjects like mathematics and science, largely ignoring areas like public speaking and teamwork. But that is changing. Schools are exploring new teaching models to offer soft skills and professional training”可知傳統(tǒng)上，非洲的中學(xué)花時間在數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)等科目上，很大程度上會忽略公共演講和團(tuán)隊協(xié)作等領(lǐng)域。但現(xiàn)在這樣的情況正在改變。學(xué)校正在探索新的教學(xué)模式以提供軟技能和專業(yè)訓(xùn)練。所以非洲中級學(xué)校的改變是他們努力教給學(xué)生軟技能。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Soft skills are personal qualities that help a person relate effectively to others. Officials say this kind of training can help students succeed in the job market and in life”可知軟技能是指人的品質(zhì)，能幫助人與人之間有效交流的品質(zhì)。權(quán)威人士說這樣的訓(xùn)練能幫助學(xué)生在找工作和生活中成功。因此軟技能幫學(xué)生跟人和睦相處。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)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(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。4．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For all the technological wonders of modem medicine, health carewith its fax machines and clipboards(寫字板)—is out of date. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the artificialintelligence ( AI) revolution.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(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)創(chuàng)造了許多技術(shù)奇跡，但醫(yī)療保健——包括傳真機(jī)和剪貼板——已經(jīng)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(rèn)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(jī)器人表現(xiàn)得一樣好。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)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(rèn)為認(rèn)為人工智能將特別有用，即他對人工智能進(jìn)入醫(yī)學(xué)界是持樂觀態(tài)度的，故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)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(rèn)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。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“There39。s lots of sense in it: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to recover better.”有同情心的醫(yī)生的病人康復(fù)得更好?？赏评碜髡咛岬紿ippocratic Oath的目的在于指出人類醫(yī)生的優(yōu)勢。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。縱觀全文可知，本文討論人工智能即將進(jìn)入現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)界，就此展開討論。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇醫(yī)學(xué)類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Stress is one of the most mon causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems. There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory (呼吸的) system. It can lead to asthma and cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomachaches and problems of digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress. Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks and feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous. Longterm stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve(釋放)stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one39。s mental health is put at risk. It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health, our feelings and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop t
