Little babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they39。 abilities of the young brain allow us to process more information during youth, causing the days to seem longer earlier in life. However, as we get old, researchers say the older brain takes more time to process information.ve got your aging brain to blame. This is likely due largely to the physical changes of our nerves and neurons (神經(jīng)元).

At the moment, effective munications are important. I went to a theatre where there were about 20 doctors and nurses in the room, Dr. Rob Hackett said.

And so in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see people39。 Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He mented, I think there39。 This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the world39。 Migratory birds (候鳥) flood back to where they reproduce every spring. That migratory behavior is acpanied by some human behavior. In Englishlanguage Wikipedia (維基百科), the online searches for migratory species tend to increase in spring when those birds arrive in the United States, said the lead author John Mittermeier. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)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(xiàng)技術(shù)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(duì)疾病診療早預(yù)判，早介入，從而幫助挽救大量生命，將大大促進(jìn)衛(wèi)生服務(wù)。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(jì)算機(jī)通過檢測(cè)紅細(xì)胞和白細(xì)胞的細(xì)微變化來評(píng)估血液檢測(cè)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(dòng)，預(yù)防死亡或嚴(yán)重疾病，可以猜測(cè)出，人工智能將用于對(duì)高危病人進(jìn)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(jí)計(jì)算機(jī)能夠分析血樣并預(yù)測(cè)哪些病人可能會(huì)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?

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.
