【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 and roles on their caps.”Rob提出在手術(shù)帽上寫上名字和職位，由此可知他是支持這一想法的。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的例子和第三段中的The 39。Theatre Cap Challenge39。 is in response to concerns about how easily avoidable mistakes and poor munication are contributing to rising harmful events for our patients. 可知，Theatre Cap challenge活動(dòng)是為了應(yīng)對(duì)不斷增加的病患相關(guān)不良事件，而這些事件常是由一些很容易避免的錯(cuò)誤和溝通障礙引起的。所以這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)目的是盡量避免錯(cuò)誤和交流中的誤解。故選C。 （3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第三段中的“We need to develop systems which reduce mistakes and misunderstanding without causing harm.”可知,他們想建立一種在不造成傷害的情況下盡可能減少錯(cuò)誤和誤解的系統(tǒng)，而要達(dá)到這個(gè)目的，首先要讓每個(gè)人知道醫(yī)生是人類，是有人情味的。只有病人也感覺(jué)到醫(yī)生的善良，才能減少病患之間的誤解。故選D。 （4）考查觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度。全文最后三句是站在患者角度闡述這個(gè)活動(dòng)的意義。從其中的unworried（不擔(dān)心的，不著急的）和relaxed（松懈的，放松的）兩個(gè)詞可以知道，這個(gè)活動(dòng)能讓病人心情放松，病人對(duì)這一做法是很支持的。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷，詞義猜測(cè)和觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科教類閱讀，要求考生根據(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。4．犇犇閱讀理解 Researchers have found bees can do basic mathematics, in a discovery that deepens our understanding of the relationship between brain size and brain power. Recently, A study conducted by researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia showed that bees could perform arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction (減法). Solving math problems requires a plex level of involving the mental management of numbers, longterm rules and shortterm working memory. The finding that even the tiny brain of a honeybee can grasp basic mathematical operations has a possible effect on the future development of Artificial Intelligence, particularly in improving rapid learning. RMIT39。s Professor Adrian Dyer said numerical (數(shù)字的) operations like addition and subtraction are plex because they require two levels of processing. “You need to be able to hold the rules around adding and subtracting in your longterm memory, while mentally using skillfully a set of given numbers in your shortterm memory,” Dyer said. “On top of this, our bees also used their shortterm memories to solve arithmetic problems, as they learned to recognize plus or minus as abstract concepts.” The findings suggest that advanced numerical cognition (認(rèn)知) may be found much more widely in nature among nonhuman animals than previously suspected. “If math doesn39。t require a massive brain, there might also be new ways for us to include interactions of both longterm rules and working memory in designs to improve rapid AI learning of new problems,” said Dyer. Many species can understand the difference between quantities and use this to search for food, make decisions and solve problems. But numerical cognition, such as exact number and arithmetic operations, requires a more plex level of processing. Previous studies have shown some primates (靈長(zhǎng)目動(dòng)物), birds, babies and even spiders can add and/or subtract. The new research, published in Science Advances, adds bees to that list.（1）What have the researchers from RMIT University discovered?

Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine。 she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relaxand her reactions changeas she continues reading. That39。s why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future? To find the answer, we have to analyse the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. And third the voices and movements are married in a way that when the Al news anchor reads, the micro electric motors behind her face move to make her expres
