【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 ol, 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(shí)了。隨著人工智能革命的到來，這個(gè)過時(shí)的時(shí)代正在慢慢接近尾聲。作者認(rèn)為人工智能旨在節(jié)省時(shí)間、生命和金錢，對(duì)提高效率是很有幫助的。但同時(shí)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(duì)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(guó)家財(cái)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(shì)。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意?？v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(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)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 Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of being better readers than those who don39。t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills. A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them, Donna George said. They are sadly mistaken. George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. It is better for children to hear things at a high level than where they are, George said. Parents are their child39。s first teacher. Parents help their children build listening, phonics, prehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them. Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Jones said that while her 14yearold daughter and 10yearold son enjoy reading, the television sometimes bees a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series. Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents39。 job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.（1）According to George, reading aloud to children ______. them correct mistakes helpful to their reading parents39。 first duty to their children get children out of television39。s attraction（2）The underlined word distraction (in Paragraph4) means something that can _____. children39。s reading skills children form the right habit of reading children interested in reading children concentrating on reading（3）What is important according to the fourth paragraph? skills. speed. materials. environment.（4）The best title for the passage would be ______.
