There are many existing vaccines for other disease that use this type of technology, while there are relatively few DNA173。 would still be years away, experts advise. Zika has been spreading across Central and South America and, most recently, Africa. More than 60 countries and territories now have continuing transmission(傳播) of the disease, which is carried by mosquitoes. The virus causes serious birth damages during pregnancy and has been declared a global public health emergency. Tests in humans could begin in months. But even if these go well, a licensed vaccine for widespread use to protect those at most risk 173。4．犇犇閱讀理解 故選D。在少數(shù)極端情況下，這種緊張情緒接近沖突。 （5）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities.”但他們承認，如今的畢業(yè)生情況有所不同，他們畢業(yè)時背負著巨額債務，工作機會也更少。）可知，大學畢業(yè)生對回家的態(tài)度是積極的，很高興能夠回家，故選B。根據(jù)第三段中的“The young adults taking part in the study were‘more positive than might have been expected’about moving back home – the shame is reduced as so many of their friends are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents39。故選A。 quality of life and wellbeing. ”通過新舊研究對比，以往的研究表明，返鄉(xiāng)的成年子女會導致父母的生活質(zhì)量和幸福感顯著下降。 （2）考查詞義猜測。 quality of life and wellbeing.”這一發(fā)現(xiàn)與今年早些時候發(fā)表的一項研究結(jié)果不一致，早些的研究顯示，返鄉(xiāng)的成年子女會導致父母的生活質(zhì)量和幸福感顯著惡化。 （1）考查推理判斷。而這一發(fā)現(xiàn)與今年早些時候發(fā)表的一項研究結(jié)果相矛盾，該研究顯示，返鄉(xiāng)的成年子女會導致父母的生活質(zhì)量和幸福感顯著下降。Not only parents but also children want to be independent.D.Both parents and children enjoy a more harmonious relationship.B.It is harder for the children to secure a satisfying job.D.The children want to keep in closer touch with their parents.B.They are doubtful about whether they should return.D.They are ashamed of turning to their parents for help.B.D.ariseB.cause quality of life became worse than before.D.s return.C.Boomerang children made their parents happier.B. However, the study says, daytoday tensions about the prospects of achieving different dimensions of independence, which in a few extreme cases came close to conflict, characterised the experience of a majority of parents and a little over half the graduates. Parents on the whole were more uncertain, expressing concern about the likely duration of the arrangement and how to manage it. But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities. The young adults taking part in the study were more positive than might have been expected about moving back home—the shame is reduced as so many of their peers are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents39。 The findings contradict research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents39。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)最后一段中的Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier. 可知，這項技術將能夠更早地治療患者，而不是坐等病情惡化，從而推斷，人工智能這一科技幫助醫(yī)生對疾病診療早預判，早介入，從而幫助挽救大量生命，將大大促進衛(wèi)生服務。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill.”可知，計算機通過檢測紅細胞和白細胞的細微變化來評估血液檢測結(jié)果。故選C。根據(jù)第二段中的“so doctors can take early action to prevent death or serious illness. ”以便醫(yī)生能夠及早采取行動，預防死亡或嚴重疾病，可以猜測出，人工智能將用于對高危病人進行“篩查”。It is intended for patients with kidney diseases.【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）A（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹超級計算機能夠分析血樣并預測哪些病人可能會患上重病，每年可以挽救數(shù)萬人的生命。It has helped save thousands of lives.C.To present the achievement he has acplished.（4）What do we know about the new technology? A.To stress the importance of health care.C.By assisting doctors with their operations.（3）Why did Professor Young mention the Industrial Revolution? A.By observing changes in blood cells.By analyzing patients39。By storing blood samples.D.C.B. He found the technique forecast outes of patients with kidney problems with up to 95 per cent accuracy. Traditional methods highlighting serious patient concerns picked up as few as 16 percent of patients who went on to die. This gives us the opportunity not only to save lives but to prevent serious illness, making the health service not only safer but more efficient. Prof Young said, Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier.（1）What does the underlined phrase screen in Paragraph2 mean? A. The artificial intelligence (AI) system, developed at University College London and set to be piloted in NHS hospitals later this year, will screen at risk patients so doctors can take early action to prevent death or serious illness. Prof Young, a consultant surgeon at Southend University Hospital, said: I am so excited about this form of technology. Instead of people getting sick or dying because they are not picked up in time, this will allow us to step in earlier which will save lives and an enormous amount of money. I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was—and signals a pletely new example in the way we manage healthcare. 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇環(huán)境類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)最后一段中的“…At the current rate, the world39。根據(jù)第一段中的“to reach a newly revealed ecosystem that had been hidden for 120,000 years below the Larsen C ice shelf.”到達一個新發(fā)現(xiàn)的在拉森冰架下面隱藏了12萬年的的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，可知選D。故選
