【文章內容簡介】 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(xiàn)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。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的“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)生的病人康復得更好。可推理作者提到Hippocratic 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入現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學界，就此展開討論。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇醫(yī)學類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Painkillers (止痛藥) are turning out to be a real pain: according to a new study in the British Medical Journal. Taking them for just a week can increase your risk of heart attack by 50%. The research suggested that the risk related to the use of certain drugs was greatest with higher doses (服用量) and during the first month of use. The potential risk may increase by 75% for medicines like ibuprofen (布洛芬) and naproxen, and more than 100% for rofecoxib. It all sounds bad but, your risk is very low, — say, one in a million — a 100% increase means you still only have a two in a million chance. Of course, all painkilling medication that works can have side effects — nothing is safe and effective. Paracetamol (撲熱息痛) has very few unless taken too much, in which case it can cause serious liver danger, but it isn39。t very effective. Drugs like opiates are strong painkillers but easy to be addicted and often have other bad effects. Maybe you find that you are in a dilemma now. But don39。t despair。 you can refer to a pain clinic for some professional guidance. For ongoing pain, music and exercise may be the best choices to help you reduce the feeling of it. Scientist at Harvard have recently done a quite horrible study on mice. They made the mice experience extremes of hot and cold, applied pressure to their back legs and injected the capsaicin (辣椒素) into their feet. And then they timed how long it took them to respond to the pain. Lack of sleep increased the disfort, while stimulants (興奮劑) such as caffeine made them less responsive to pain. This has been widely reported that a good night39。s sleep and a cup of coffee in the morning may help reduce pain. But anyway don39。t throw the pills away because the study also shows taking small doses of drugs, such as for short periods of time can be effective and safe as long as your heart is in good condition.（1）Which of the following painkillers has fewest sideeffects? ....（2）What does the underlined word “despair” in Paragraph 2 refer to? it seriously. any risks. hope. doubtful.（3）The example of mice is used to show that ____ can stand extreme pressure sleep and coffee may decrease pain and feet are more sensitive to pain and stimulants can help reduce pain（4）What is the text mainly about? to stop taking painkillers. new way of reducing pain. risk of taking painkillers. to avoid painkillers39。side effects.【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，根據《英國醫(yī)學雜志》的一項新研究，止痛藥正變成一種真正的疼痛。只服用一周就會使心臟病發(fā)作的風險增加50%。文章主要說明了止痛藥存在的風險，以及說明了其他一些可以有助于減輕疼痛的方法。研究還表明，只要你的心臟狀況良好，服用小劑量的藥物仍然是有效和安全的。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據第一段中的“The research suggested that the risk related to the use of certain drugs was greatest with higher doses (服用量) and during the first month of use. The potential risk may increase by 75% for medicines like ibuprofen (布洛芬) and naproxen, and more than 100% for rofecoxib.”研究表明，在使用某些藥物的第一個月，服用高劑量藥物的風險最大。布洛芬和萘普生等藥物的潛在風險可能增加75%，羅非昔布增加100%以上；及第二段中的“Paracetamol has very few unless taken too much, in which case it can cause serious liver danger, but it isn39。t very effective.”撲熱息痛的含量很少，除非服用過量，在這種情況下，它會導致嚴重的肝危險，但不是很有效，可知，在Ibuprofen，Naproxen，Rofecoxib和Paracetamol四種藥物之中，Paracetamol的副作用最小。故選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據第二段中的“Maybe you find that you are in a dilemma now.”也許你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你現(xiàn)在處于一個兩難的境地；以及“you can refer to a pain clinic for some professional guidance”你可以向疼痛診所尋求一些專業(yè)指導)可知，雖然也許你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你現(xiàn)在處于一個兩難的境地，但是不必絕望，你還可以向疼痛診所尋求一些專業(yè)指導。故劃線單詞意思是“絕望的”。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據倒數第二段中
