Medical artificial intelligence (AI) can perform with expert-level accuracy and deliver cost-effective health care. IBM’s Watson diagnoses heart disease better than doctors. Chatbots give better medical advice to patients in place of nurses. Smartphone apps can now detect skin cancer. Some forecast that medical AI will enter most hospitals and replace what quite a few doctors currently do. Yet, as recent researches suggest, patients show a strong reluctance to medical AI—a big challenge the health care system will really face.
The reason is not the belief that AI provides inferior care. Nor is it that patients think that AI is more costly, less convenient, or less informative. Rather, it seems that AI does not take into account one’s specific characteristics and circumstances. People view themselves as unique. By contrast, they see AI medical care as standardised—well suited to treat an average patient but not enough to deal with unique individual circumstances. It is no wonder that medical AI providers are given a cold welcome.

There are a number of steps that care providers can take to overcome patients’ resistance to medical AI.For example, they can remove the concerns about being treated as an average patient by giving their recommendations specifically and uniquely. If so, patients in doubt would be as likely to follow the treatment recommendations of the AI provider as they would be to follow those of a human physician (医生).In addition, health care providers could also deliver individualised health care by explaining how the algorithms (算法) work and sharing patients’ reviews of the service with the media. Having a physician confirm the recommendation of an AI provider should make people more receptive to AI-based care. People are comfortable using medical AI if a physician remains in charge of the final decision.
AI-based health care technologies are being developed and employed at an impressive rate, providing better medical services for the patients. But utilising the full potential of them will require that we first overcome patients’ scepticism.

1.How does the author explain the use of medical AI in Paragraph 1?( )
C
A.By listing data. B.By doing experiments.

2.What holds back the wide application of medical AI most probably?( )
D
A.Its high cost. B.Its misdiagnosis. C.Its inconvenience. D.Its inflexibility.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的By contrast, they see AI medical care as standardised—well suited to treat an average patient but not enough to deal with unique individual circumstances.可知,人们认为医疗人工智能的治疗模式是标准化的,不能根据每个人的特殊情况去作判断,所以阻碍人工智能医疗发展的是它的灵活性不足。故选D项。

3.What is suggested to make medical AI acceptable to patients?( )
B
A.Treating patients as average people. B.Offering personalised cure plans.
C.Updating the algorithms in time. D.Keeping away from the physician.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的For example, they can remove the concerns about being treated as an average patient by giving their recommendations specifically and uniquely.可知,可以通过给患者提出个性化的治疗方案,从而让医疗人工智能为患者所接受。故选B项。

25
4.What does the underlined word “scepticism” probably mean?( )
A
A.Distrust. B.Mystery. C.Fantasy. D.Criticism.
解析 词义猜测题。根据文章内容可知,本文主要论述了医疗人工智能发展受阻的主要原因,由于医疗人工智能的治疗程序相对固定,无法根据患者的个人情况作出灵活调整,患者不信任医疗人工智能作出的诊断;再结合第三段中的关键词patients in doubt可知,患者对医疗人工智能持怀疑态度。由此可推测出,画线词所在句表示“要想充分发挥医疗人工智能的潜力,首先要消除患者的怀疑”。画线词意为“怀疑”,与distrust意思最接近。故选A项。

Commercial airlines alone contribute around 3 percent of total global carbon emissions.But the industry is actively looking for green solutions in the form of sustainable airline fuel, and in one case, that fuel may have had a previous life as your household food waste. In a study released in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of researchers detail a method of converting food waste into sustainable airline fuel.
Biomass (生物质), such as animal and food waste, can be converted into biofuels, which are renewable liquid fuels made from organic matter. Derek Vardon, a senior research engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), said that their fuel worked as a mixture of 90 percent conventional petrol airline fuel and 10 percent alternative airline fuel required by the industry currently.He also showed the research team could push it to a 70/30 mixture with more time and testing available.
刷阅读理解

Major companies are eager to get involved in sustainable airline fuel because some sustainable solutions, such as battery-operated commercial planes, just aren’t possible yet with current battery technology. A battery-powered plane would be too heavy to fly long distances, so fuel that works in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way to trade out emission-heavy fossil fuels.
Vardon says that because the wet waste used in the process would normally go to a landfill (垃圾填埋场) and break down to release greenhouse gases, the process of making and using sustainable airline fuel could actually have a negative carbon footprint when scaled up.
Commercial airlines are also on board to find an affordable and sustainable solution to the carbon-intensive process of air travel. Airlines are looking to hit aggressive sustainability goals by 2050, including decreasing net carbon dioxide emissions by 50 percent.

1.Which of the following is used for sustainable airline power?( )
A
A.Biomass. B.Liquid fuel. C.Battery power. D.Fossil fuel.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句In a study released in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of researchers detail a method of converting food waste into sustainable airline fuel.和第二段第一句Biomass, such as animal and food waste, can be converted into biofuels, which are renewable liquid fuels made from organic matter.可知,生物质可以被转化为可持续的航空燃料。故选A项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的一项研究:将食物垃圾转化为可持续航空燃料,该燃料有望给未来客机带来动力。

2.Why aren’t commercial planes battery-powered?( )
D
A.Batteries are more costly.
B.It’s inconvenient to produce batteries.
C.Batteries are not environmentally friendly.
D.Battery-powered planes are unlikely to travel far.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的A battery-powered plane would be too heavy to fly long distances可知,目前飞机不用电池驱动的原因是,电池驱动的飞机太重,无法长距离飞行,即无法飞得远。故选D项。

【方法总结】通过分析长难句理解文章内容
长难句是历年高考阅读理解中必出现的,因此学会理解长难句对正确解题有很大的帮助,只要能理解关键的句子,正确提炼信息,一些阅读理解题就能得出答案。无论结构多么复杂的长难句,都是由一些基本的成分组成的。基本思路就是先找到句子主干,然后再把修饰或解释的成分填进去。以本句为例:
A battery-powered plane would be too heavy to fly long distances, so fuel that works in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way to trade out emission-heavy fossil fuels.
结构分析:该句是由so连接的两个并列句,so前是原因,带着一个too… to… 结构;so后面是结果,找到句子主干fuel is a simpler way后,再把定语从句that works in the same way as the fuel we have填进去修饰fuel,把to trade out emission-heavy fossil fuels填回去修饰way。
句意:电池驱动的飞机太重,无法飞很远的距离,因此,(使用)与我们现有燃料的工作原理相同的燃料是一种更简单的方式,可以取代高排放的化石燃料。

3.What does the underlined phrase “on board” in the last paragraph refer to?( )
B
A.Taking off. B.Participating in. C.Holding a meeting. D.Appearing on stage.
解析 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的Major companies are eager to get involved in sustainable airline fuel和最后一段最后一句Airlines are looking to hit aggressive sustainability goals by 2050, including decreasing net carbon dioxide emissions by 50 percent.可知,画线短语所在句表示“商业航空公司也正在参与寻找一种负担得起的、可持续的解决方案……”。on board意为“参与”。故选B项。

4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?( )
C
A.Alternative Energy to Fossil Fuel B.How to Get Fossil Fuel Sustainable
C.Changing Food Waste Into Airplane Fuel D.How to Decrease Carbon Dioxide Emissions
解析 主旨大意题。结合全文可知,文章主要介绍了研究人员正在努力将食物垃圾转化为可持续的航空燃料。所以C项(把食物垃圾变成飞机燃料)最能概括全文主旨。故选C项。
