8、n the drop-down menu. Unfortunately, the boy died.Dr. Gidi Stein heard the story and felt forced to do something. “ It was like killing someone with a spelling error. He just clicked on the wrong button,” Stein said. “One would have thought thered be some, kind of spell-checker to prevent these terr
9、ible things from happening. But apparently this is not the case. ”Several things were immediately obvious to the 54-year-old Stein, who had previously studied computer science. If you look at this problem from a birds eye view, there were so many places down the line where this decision could have b
10、een stoppedfrom the physician to the pharmacy (药房)even to the mother. All of them had all the relevant information to have a judgment call that this was just the wrong drug for the wrong patient. ” For Stein, it represented a systemic failure.Stein compared this with credit cards. “ If you use your
11、credit card in the daily routine over time, a pattern emerges of how we use our cards: the grocery store, the gas station in our local town. If your credit card would appear tomorrow in Zimbabwe, it would be unusual. The credit card company would call you and say, Hey, was that you?”But nothing like
12、 that existed in the field of prescription drugs. So Stein set up a company called MedAware. He came up with a machine learning outlier detection (异常检测值）system. In other words, he trained the computers to realize if a doctor accidentally prescribed the wrong medicine.The system is already used in ho
13、spitals and doctors offices. To date，MedAware has used their technology to help nearly six million patients in the United States and Israel.1.What led to the boys death?A.

Check the prescription.C. Remind patients to take medicine.D. Help doctor choose right medicine.4.Where is this text most
15、likely from?A. A diary.B. A science fictionC.A guidebook.D. A magazine.3、Like toolmaking, teaching was once thought to be an exclusive(独有的) capacity of the human mind. It is not actually.“Teaching” requires this: one individual must take time from their own task to demonstrate and instruct with effo
16、rt and the student must learn a new skill. Thats a tall order.When a young chimpanzee watches a skilled adult and then imitates (模仿), thats learning. But the adult has not taken time specifically to instruct, so it is not teaching. In the honeybees amazing dance, the dancer takes time to indicate in
17、formation about a source of food, but observers learn no new skill. They do take time to show, but they do not pass on new skills to learners.Dolphins teach. Atlantic spotted dolphin mothers sometimes free a caught fish in the presence of their youngsters and let their youngsters chase it, catching
18、it again if its getting away. Dolphin youngsters also position themselves alongside mothers who are scanning sandy bottoms for hidden fish, and the mother spends extra time demonstrating.Other teachers include: housecats who bring back live prey and let their young learn to catch it, and meerkats (猫
19、鼬)who first bring to their growing young dead scorpions (蝎子), then disabled ones, to demonstrate how to remove the poisonous part on their tails.Like toolmaking and teaching, imitation is also considered to reflect high intelligence. In South Africa lived a baby dolphin named Dolly. One day while sh
20、e was just six months old, Dolly was watching a trainer standing at the window smoking a cigarette, blowing puffs of smoke. Dolly swam to her mother, got a mouthful of milk, then returned to the window and released a cloud of milk that surrounded her head. The trainer was “absolutely astonished”.Som
21、ehow Dolly came up with the idea of using milk to represent smoke. Using one thing to represent something else isnt just imitation. It is art. 1. What does the underlined phrase “a tall order” probably mean in paragraph 2?A. A clear instruction. B. A high risk. C. A useful purpose. D. A difficult re
22、quirement.2. What do we know about honeybees dance?A. Imitating. B. Learning. C. Presenting. D. Teaching.3. What can we infer about animals that can teach?A. Bees show their dance to younger generations.B. Young dolphins must learn how to free a fish.C. Housecats teach in a way similar to dolphins.
23、D. Meerkats have poisonous parts on the tails.4. Why does the author use Dollys example?A. To prove smoking can affect other animals. B. To show animals can be surprisingly intelligent.C. To explain dolphins are capable of making art.D. To stress milk is to dolphins what smoking is to men.4、Har Gobi
24、nd Khorana would have turned 96 on this day, though nobody knows the exact date the Nobel Prize-winning scientist was bom. Khorana was from a small village of roughly 100 in what is now Raipur, Pakistan, but was part of India in 1922. The youngest of five, Khorana and his siblings learned to read an
25、d write from their father at a time when there were very few literate people in the area. “His family was probably the only literate family in the village,” says Uttam Raj Bhandary, a professor. “He came from a very humble background to become an icon in biology.” As a chemist, Khorana solved some o
26、f biologys greatest problems. In the 1960s, biologists knew there was a genetic code but didnt understand how individual DNA molecules translated into amino acids and created life. Khorana and two other scientists,Robert Holley and Marshall Nirenberg, solved that problem. In essence, they discovered
27、 the grammar that organizes the code of life. “Its for this that he was awarded the Nobel Prize within two years of publishing,” RajBhandary says. “He did one amazing thing after another. He was the first person to chemically synthesize a gene and show that a synthesized gene could be put into cells
28、 and function. That work made the field of genetic engineering possible. “It forms the basis of much of the biotechnology industry as we know now, he says. Raj Bhandary says,“He understood that if you cant communicate what youve done then its useless.” As a graduate student in England, Khorana would
29、 stay in on weekend nights and study BBC radio broadcasters carefully. “He listened to the way they articulated things,” Raj Bhandary says. “Learning to speak slowly, correctly with the right emphasis. Thats how he became such a great speaker.” Khorana died on November 9, 2011. He was survived by tw
30、o children, Julia and Dave. I used to see him every day. He would leave me notes here and there, just very kind notes,” RajBhandary says. “When someone like that goes, you miss him or her a lot.1.We can infer that when Khorana was young, in Raipur _.A.his father taught the local kids reading and wri

56、u. ” 可知， 因为医生在开处方时不小心点击了下拉菜单中的另一种药， 从而导致了孩子的死亡。故选A。2.根据第三段中Stein所说的内容可知，他认为在 很多环节都可以避免这次事故的发生从医生到药房到孩子的母亲，他们本可以看出药方的错误。可是，他们都没有看到。由此推断Stein对这件事深表遗憾。故选B。3.B根据倒数第二段的最后一句“In other words, he trained the computers to realize if a doctor accidentally prescribed the wrong medidne. ”可知，这种新技术可以帮助人们查别医生是否开错了药
57、。故选B。4.文章主要介绍了 Dr. Gidi Stein从一次医疗事故 中得到启发，研发了一种技术来帮助医生检查是否开错了处方。这是社会中发生的一件事，故可能出自一本杂志。 3答案及解析：答案：1.D; 2.C; 3.C; 4.B解析：1.推断题。根据文章第二段第一句 Teaching-requires this: one individual must take time from their own task to demonstrate and instruct with effort and the student must learn a new skill. 可知,要达到“tea
58、ching”,一个人必须抽出时间来努力演示和指导,学生必须学习一项新技能,“teaching”这一状态是比较难达到的,D项“一个困难的要求”,符合文意。故D项正确。A项“一个明确的指令”,B项“高风险”,C项“一个有用的目的”,均不符合文意。2.细节题。根据文章第三段最后一句Theydotaketimetoshow,buttheydonotpassonnewskillstolearners.可知,蜜蜂跳舞只是在展示,C项,present意为“呈现”,符合文意。B项“学习”,A项“模仿”,D项“教学”,均不符合文意。3.推断题。根据文章第四段第一句 Dolphins teach. 以及第五段第一
59、句中 Other teachers include: housecats who bring back live prey and let their young learn to catch it 可知,家猫的教学方式与海豚相似。故C项正确。A项,“蜜蜂向年轻一代展示它们的舞蹈”。这一行为并非教学活动。故A项错误。B项,“年轻的海豚必须学会如何释放一条鱼”。根据文章第四段第二句 Atlantic spotted dolphin mothers sometimes free a caught fish in the presence of their youngsters and let th
60、eir youngsters chase it, catching it again if its getting away. 可知,海豚妈妈是故意放走鱼而让年轻海豚学习去抓鱼,而不是年轻海豚一定要学会释放鱼。故B项错误。D项,“猫鼬尾巴上有有毒的部位”。根据文章倒数第三段第一句中 meerkats (猫鼬) who first bring to their growing young dead scorpions (蝎子), then disabled ones, to demonstrate how to remove the poisonous part on their tails 可
61、知,猫鼬带回有毒的蝎子然后展示如何去除蝎子尾部有毒的部分,猫鼬尾巴上并没有毒。故D项错误。4.推断题。该例子主要讲述了在南非一个叫 Dolly 的小海豚,看见训练师抽烟吹出一阵烟,然后自己喝牛奶,也吹出一阵牛奶气泡的故事。这主要说明了动物很聪明。故B项正确。A项,“证明吸烟会影响其他动物”。并非该例子的主要目的。故A项错误。C项,“解释海豚有能力创造艺术”。海豚有能力创造艺术是作者得出的结论,并非提出这个例子的主要目的。故C项错误。D项,“强调牛奶对海豚就像吸烟对男人一样”。不符合实际。故D项错误。 4答案及解析：答案：1.D; 2.A; 3.B; 4.C解析：1.推理判断题。根据第二段第二句
