【正文】 Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society. I needed to be aggressive to get what I wanted. I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal verbsfar more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said: this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong. It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day. Or, You may find the book I remended helpful. Or, You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting. When making ments on students39。 In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it. That is why they make far more certain statement than American students. That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas.（1）The American professors use many modal verbs because they want to______.

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. 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 drug”. There39。s back, may bee a relic of the past.（1）What39。s attitude toward AI39。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。但同時也指出人類醫(yī)生可以和機器人表現(xiàn)得一樣好。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)生認為認為人工智能將特別有用，即他對人工智能進入醫(yī)學(xué)界是持樂觀態(tài)度的，故選C。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。故選D。根據(jù)最后一段中的“There39。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。 （4）考查主旨大意。故選A。4．閱讀理解 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 despair。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。But anyway 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。只服用一周就會使心臟病發(fā)作的風(fēng)險增加50%。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。根據(jù)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(fēng)險最大。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(dǎo)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。 （2）考查詞義猜測。故劃線單詞意思是“絕望的”。 （3）考查推理判斷。s sleep and a cup of coffee in the morning may help reduce pain.”晚上睡個好覺，早上喝杯咖啡有助于減輕疼痛，可知，老鼠的例子表明良好的睡眠和咖啡可以減輕疼痛。 （4）考查主旨大意。只服用一周就會使心
