[山东省2024高二适应性联考]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 research suggests,
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.
刷阅读理解
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.

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。
刷阅读理解
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标准化,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“要想充分发挥基于人工智能的医疗服务技术的潜
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。

[湖北鄂东南联盟2025高二期中]More and more researchers are using artificial intelligence
(AI) to monitor biodiversity and assist endangered species. Different from conventional
methods that can damage ecosystems or require considerable time, labour and resources, AI has
the potential to quickly and effectively analyse vast quantities of real-world data.
Ecologist Jörg Müller at the University of Würzburg, Germany, and his colleagues have
shown that AI tools can help to quantify biodiversity in tropical (热带的) forests by
identifying animal species from audio (音频的) recordings.“Our results demonstrate that AI is
ready for more comprehensive species identification,” says Müller.“All that is needed now is
more training data collected by humans.”
刷阅读理解
AI is imperfect, but it could speed up important discoveries, says Nicolas Miailhe, co-
founder of The Future Society (TFS), an international non-profit organisation that aims to
better govern AI.“We badly need human specialists to design models, as well as collect, label,
check and interpret data,” he says.
Researchers at Conservation AI, a UK-based non-profit organisation in Liverpool that uses
AI technology for various ecology projects, have developed models that can search through
footage and images from drones (无人机) or camera traps to identify wildlife and track
animal movements. So far, Conservation AI has processed more than 12.5 million images and
detected more than 4 million individual animal appearances across 68 species.“The platform can
process tens of thousands of images an hour, in contrast to humans who can do a few thousand
at best,” says Paul Fergus, one of Conservation AI’s lead researchers.“The speed at which AI
processes data could allow conservationists to protect endangered species from sudden threats,”
he adds.
