FOR ALL the technological wonders of modern medicine, from gene-editing to fetal(胎儿的) surgery, health care—with its fax machines and clipboards(资料夹)—is often stubbornly old-fashioned. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as, slowly, the industry catches up with the artificial-intelligence (AI) revolution. And it should have happened earlier, argues Eric Topol, a heart doctor keen on digital medicine.

Dr Topol’s vision of medicine’s future is optimistic. He thinks AI will be particularly useful for repetitive tasks where errors arise easily, such as selecting images, examining heart traces for abnormal symptoms or recording doctors’ words into patient records. In short, AI is set to save time, lives and money.

Much of this is imaginary—but AI is already defeating people in a variety of narrow jobs for which it has been trained. Eventually it may be able to diagnose and treat a wider range of diseases. Even then, Dr Topol thinks, humans would watch over the rules, rather than being replaced by them.

The author’s fear is that AI will be used to deepen the assembly-line(流水线) culture of modern medicine. If it awards a “gift of time” on doctors, he argues that this additional benefit should be used to extend the time of consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently.

The Hippocratic Oath holds that there is an art to medicine as well as a science, and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may be more important than the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug”. That is not just a cliché: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to do better. As Dr Topol says, it is hard to imagine that a robot could really replace a human doctor. Yet as demand for health care goes beyond the supply of human carers, the future may involve consultations on smartphones and measurements monitored by chat robots. The considerately warmed stethoscope(听诊器), placed gently on a patient’s back, may become history.

1.According to the author, health care has been generally considered ____________.

A. to bring out many technological wonders

B. to boost the sales of fax machines and clipboards

C. to be out of date and fail to keep up with modern times

D. to constantly catch up with new technological progress

2.AI is set to save time, lives and money because it can ___________.

A. repeat doctors’ words and instructions

B. correct doctors’ errors and mistakes

C. select doctors according to patients’ demands

D. replace doctors’ tasks in certain fields

3.The underlined word “cliché” is closest in meaning to __________.

A. an idea so often used that becomes uninteresting

B. an idea so interesting that is often used

C. an effective rule that applies to medicine and doctors

D. a benefit to both doctors and patients

4.It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.

A. AI will completely replace the jobs of doctors

B. doctors’ sympathy and understanding should not be ignored

C. the application of AI will discourage the assembly-line culture

D. AI will bring warmth, sympathy and understanding to patients

Machu Picchu is an unusual site in Peru and one of the most mysterious wonders of the world. Built at almost 10,000 feet on the top of an Andean mountain, the Incas built hundreds of structures made of stone. A large number of Machu Picchu’s surrounding structures date back to the early 13th century, but it was considered a chief sacred site far before then. The Inca people changed the large site into a very small but wonderful city, completely self-sufficient and hidden from below. Agricultural terraces (梯田) surrounded the entire city, fed by natural spring water, supporting the entire population.

Inca Trail

The trail is one of the most famous in the world and regarded as one of the best. It covers only 26 miles, combining cloud forest, green mountain scenery, forest, and plenty of tunnels, paving stones, and ruins. The four-day hike begins slowly but quickly changes into a difficult journey suitable for those in excellent shape. The trail winds through the Andes, leading alongside and through ruins. Though independent hiking was once permitted, now it must be done with a guide.

Funerary Rock

It is believed that the Funerary Rock at Machu Picchu was used as a place to prepare Inca nobles for preservation, or mummifying (做成木乃伊), a common habit among the tribe. Nobles would be laid out to be mummified by the hot sun and freezing cold nights after their organs were removed. The rock is also famous as a spot from which a view of the city is afforded.

Temple of the Sun

Within the city’s castle, deep within Machu Picchu, is the Temple of the Sun, accessed only by the Emperor and

Inca priests. It means the Inca’s advanced knowledge of religion, weather, and nature, showing the great extent

Incas went to adapt to and learn about nature. Still unbroken, the temple was built to honor the god Inti, who is exactly the sun. The temple was effectively protected. It was also a very important scientific center, built in half-moon shape with openings facing north and east. The windows’ shadows in the center of the temple helped see the start of winter solstice (至日), showing farming season.

1.What do we know about the Inca Trail?

A. The scene is very beautiful along the trail.

B. One person alone is permitted to hike on the trail.

C. Only healthy people can do the four-day hike trail.

D. The trail covers a distance of 80 miles in all.

2.Temple of the Sun suggests that　　　　 .

A. Incas had a good knowledge of math

B. Incas are rich in farming experiences

C. Inca had a desire to go to the moon

D. Incas adapted and learned about nature

3.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Inca Trail　　 B. Funerary Rock

C. Machu Picchu　　 D. Temple of the Sun

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

The Wuhan Institute of Shipbuilding Technology was used as a quarantine site （隔离区） from Feb 8 to March 28. Cheng Shining, a junior of Central China Normal University in Wuhan, was responsible for collecting and distributing supplies for quarantined people and medical staff. As the youngest volunteer at this site, he also chose to live there so that he could show up whenever he was needed.

One day Cheng and two other volunteers took more than 3 hours to move all 1,462 boxes of mineral water to storage with 50 firemen's help. Cheng says. "A single person's strength is limited, but we know the whole country is helping us."

Cheng was a volunteer for the Military World Games held in Wuhan last October. It was the first time he saw his hometown under the world's spotlight. "I've experienced the highlight of Wuhan, and now when my hometown touched a low point, I want to get through the difficulty together with the city," Cheng says.

Like Cheng, 28-year-old Wuhan local Zhu Aobing also volunteered to help his home city. He signed up right away to be a volunteer for the vaccine. A total of 108 Wuhan locals became the first group of COVID-19 vaccine volunteers in March. They are healthy adults aged from 18 to 60 selected from thousands of people who applied.

"Since the lockdown, I've always been thinking what I can do for my hometown during the epidemic," he says. Zhu is a freshman of Hubei University of Technology in Wuhan. He joined the army when he was 18 years old and served for five years. However, Zhu didn't want to miss the chance to study further, so he decided to go to college last year.

"No matter how long I have finished my military service, I always have the responsibility to go to the front line when the country needs me, and when facing this pandemic（疫情），being a vaccine volunteer is what I should do," he says.

1.How does Cheng sound when talking about the help from the firemen?

A.Descriptive and serious B.Generous and exciting

C.Appreciative and optimistic D.Cautious and supportive

2.How can Zhu help his home city?

A.By serving the Military World Games. B.By helping run a quarantine site.

C.By studying further in college. D.By being a vaccine volunteer.

C.They are of the same age. D.They graduated from university.

4.Which of the following is most likely said by President Xi to them during the epidemic?

A.Diligence is crucial for the development of our country.

B.Chinese dream is what pushes the whole country ahead.

C.Life is a book and you are responsible for your own page.

D.The Chinese youth of the new era can shoulder great missions.

5.What is the purpose of this passage?

A.To compare two people. B.To tell two volunteers' stories.

C.To present an argument. D.To report a piece of news.
