A
A computer programme can identify
breast cancer from routine scans with greater
accuracy than human experts.Researchers said
that could prove a breakthrough in the fight against
the global killer.
Breast cancer is one of the most common
cancers in women,and regular screening is key
to discovering signs of the disease in patients
before they show obvious symptoms.In
Britain,women over 50 are advised to get a
mammogram,an X-ray picture of the breast,
every three years,and the results are analyzed
by two independent experts.But interpreting
the scans leaves room for error,and a small
percentage of all mammograms either return a
false positive-一misdiagnosing(误诊)a healthy
patient as having cancer-or false negative-
missing the disease as it spreads.
Now researchers have trained an artificial
intelligence (AI)model to detect cancer in
breast scans from thousands of women in
Britain and the US.The images had already
been reviewed by doctors in real life,but
unlike in a clinical setting,the machine had no
patient history to inform its diagnosis.
The team found that their AI model could
predict breast cancer from the scans with a
similar accuracy level to expert radiographers
(放射技师).Further,.the ad showed a reduction in
the cases where cancer was incorrectly identified-
5.7 percent in the US and 1.2 percent in Britain,
respectively.It also reduced the percentage of
missed diagnoses by 9.4 percent among US patients
and by 2.7 percent in Britain.
"Application of AI is definitely great
progress for the field.We think about this
technology in a way that enabled an expert,or
a patient finally,to get the best outcome from
whatever diagnosis they've had,said Dominic

opportunity to perfect the existing service by
comparing the computer's decision with that of the
first human reviewer to test his diagnosis.If the
two agreed,the case was marked as reliable.That

It was a weeknight and one of my twin
daughters marched into the room,waving a
book she'd finished."Dad,why are books with
science in them always about boys?"she asked.
I told her that simply wasn't true;there
were loads of great science fictions with girls
in them.She agreed,but argued that in those
stories it was the boys who were doing

science,and the girls were just along for the
ride.My other daughter took her sister's side
and challenged me to give an example.
This left me in a difficult position.I could
either go through our library to point out some
wonderful examples of female-led science
fictions,or just admit they were right and
remain in my comfortable chair.
I've been asked several times how I came
up with the idea for A Problematic Paradox
and my answer is always the same:it came to
me in a moment of inspiration.I like that
answer because it's simple and makes me seem
very creative.The fact that this explanation is
not true bothers me from time to time.Here's
the truth:the story wasn't my idea.It was my
daughters who suggested I write something for
them that had a girl doing science.
My daughters were at an age when many
young women turn away from STEM
(science,technology,engineering,and math),
believing those areas of study unfriendly or
out-of-the-norm for girls.I also read about
how important role models can be to young
people.It's one thing to tell a person they can
do something,but seeing someone like them
doing that thing can be more powerful.
So,I kept two guidelines for the book in
mind:First,the story had to be fun for
anyone,because it's as important for boys to
understand that science is for everyone.
Second,I wanted the main character,Nikola,to
be imperfect.She should be someone with
shortcomings as we all have.I think this not
only makes a story more interesting to read,
but also helps make it clear that the most
extraordinary things can be done by ordinary
people.
5.What does the underlined phrase "along for
the ride"in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Entering a bike race.
B.Offering vital help.
C.Doing unimportant things.
D.Playing the leading role.

6.What do we know about the book A Problematic
Paradox?
A.Its main character is perfect.
B.It is a female-led science fiction.
C.It is intended to appeal to girls only.
D.Its idea comes from the author's inspiration.
7.Which of the following best describes the
author's book?
A.Serious and abstract.
B.Simple and practical.
C.Creative and well-organized.
D.Inspiring and interesting.
Science fiction writers create imaginary
worlds.The way things work in your imaginary
worlds will be based on actual science.So it's
important for you to be familiar with the scientific
principles and inventions that are related to your
creation.For example,if you're writing about
human living on a planet with zero gravity,then you
need to know the effects of zero gravity on the
human body.
Then you have to figure out the exact
rules of your imaginary worlds.And you have
to follow them.If humans are able to breathe
underwater in Chapter 1,your character can't
drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3.The
issue here is maintaining your readers trust.
That means the readers are willing to pretend
along with you.If you start out with an
ordinary detective novel and then throw in
someone breathing underwater in the 6th
chapter,you will pull the readers out of their
imagination.The same thing happens if you
change the rules halfway.
Part of your preparation work for the
novel is to map out its worlds in great detail.
You should decide the following issues:the
history of the world,the geography,what
possibilities it offers,how everything works in
this new reality,and how all of these factors
affect the way your characters think,feel,and
react to things.You don't have to tell your
班级
姓名
readers all the rules in the first chapter.But
you have to let readers know enough to
understand what's going on.This also allows you to
work out logical problems and contradictions
before you start writing.
When you are writing,remember to make
it feel real.You are inviting readers to visit a
new world.They will want to be able to see,
hear,feel,smell,and even taste what it's like.
Whether your novel is about a world without
disease or an undiscovered planet,help your
readers feel like they're actually there.
8.What's the relationship between actual science
and science fiction?
A.Science fiction promotes the development
of actual science.
B.Science fiction often reflects the development
of actual science.
C.Actual science limits the imagination
described in science fiction.
D.Actual science provides basic principles
for science fiction.
9.The second paragraph is mainly developed by
A.making comparisons
B.giving examples
C.following the time order
D.analyzing causes
10.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.It is necessary to do some scientific
experiments before writing science fiction.
B.It is more difficult to write science fiction
than ordinary detective novels.
C.Readers of science fiction actually pretend
the writers'rules are true.
D.It is great to leave some contradictions
in your science fiction.
11.The target readers of the passage are
A.young scientists
B.science fiction writers
C.college students
D.professional journalists

Understanding Your Feelings Helps
You Name and Tame(驯服)Them
We all experience various feelings all the
time.Some of them feel great,some feel
unpleasant,and it's helpful to be able to
recognize and understand how you're feeling so
you know how to deal with it.
1 They can include anger,sadness,
worry,loneliness and shame,as well as
surprise,happiness,courage and hope,among
many others.2 All feelings are there to be
felt and some can be more uncomfortable than
others.It's OK and natural to experience
different emotions and that includes emotions that
might not feel nice.
To deal with your feelings,you need to
recognize what they are.3 Are your fists
clenched(攥紧)?Does it seem like there'sa
knot in your stomach?Next,pay attention to
what you're thinking at this time.4 Or are
you thinking that you really don't want to do
something?Once you have identified how
you're feeling,you can label it by saying,for
example,“I'm feeling angry”or“T'm feeling
lonely?”.
You can understand a difficult feeling and
help yourself to handle it.5 If you're
upset about a difficult feeling,like "I'm feeling
angry",you might count to ten to calm down.
Perhaps you notice“I'm feeling nervous”,and
you might talk to someone about it.The
person you talk to may be able to give you
reassurance,more information,a different
point of view,or even help you take action to
deal with the cause of your difficult feeling.
A.Experts call this“name it to tame it'”.
B.How can you deal with different feelings?
C.Perhaps you have the thought,"It's not
fair”.
D.Feelings are how people experience emotions.
E.First of all,notice what's going on with
your body.
F.They are shown through various body
movements,to begin with.
G.Feelings are sometimes labelled as good or
bad but that isn't helpful.6.certificate 7.proficiency 8.purse 9.Camels 10.supervise
