【正文】 d, 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(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。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】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。7．閱讀理解 We may be living in the digital age but reading books is still a big part of growing up. When they39。re in primary school, children read books that really challenge them. But once they reach secondary school, the level of difficulty doesn39。t change much. Secondary school students tend to read books which are also read by upper primary students. They are not challenging themselves enough. To discover these trends, I analyzed data collected by Accelerated Reader (AR) software, which asks pupils to check their understanding of the books they39。ve chosen to read. The difficulty — which I call readability. I also created two lists of books: one for the books that most secondary pupils had chosen to read, and another for the books they had voted as their favorites. According to the readability, these students39。 favorite books tend to be much more advanced than the other books they chose, but they could still understand them. The rest of the books most often chosen by them are quite simple. You might think that students who read harder books might make more mistakes and understand them less well. But students39。 quality of prehension does not depend on the difficulty of the book, no matter what year of secondary school they39。re in. Having an interest is the most obvious factor here — if you like the book, you try hard to really understand it. As children bee teenagers, they listen less to advice from adults and more to advice from kids of their age. So, rather than trying to lecture young people on the benefits of Jane Austen, we should make the nature of the problem clear to them. Students should challenge each other to read more difficult books. Adults could help by setting up noticeboards or organizing social media networks for young people to share their remendations. And teachers can lend a hand by setting aside time for reading in school. Young people will realize the problems that e when they don39。t challenge themselves to read difficult books.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph? spend little time on afterclass reading school students seldom read tough books39。s reading interest tends to decrease as they grow up students have difficulty choosing good reading materials（2）The author made use of AR software to ________. children39。s different reading styles the average time children spend on reading out the causes of children39。s reading difficulties clear the difficulty levels of books read by children（3）What can we infer about secondary school students from the readability scores? find some advanced books interesting often make mistakes during advanced reading prefer to read books remended by their parents can hardly improve their scores on reading prehension（4）According to Paragraph 4, what is vital for improving reading prehension? knowledge skills（5）What does the author want to express in the last paragraph? relatively difficult textbooks is necessary students39。 reading is a shared responsibility technology should be used in reading reaching should be encouraged to read more literary works【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）A（4）C（5）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，作者通過對初中生閱讀能力的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查討論了如何提高他們的閱讀能力—興趣動力。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“But once they reach secondary school, the level of difficulty doesn39。t change much.
