21、 Google previously announced successful tests of machine learning systems designed to assist doctors. In one case, Google reported AI had examined eye diseases with equal accuracy to doctors. Other tests showed that machine learning can be used to study large amounts of patient data to predict future medical events.
Now the company has published two new studies showing a high level of success in identifying metastatic breast cancer. Metastatic means that cancer has spread from its main area to other parts of the body. Metastatic breast cancer is one of the deadliest, causing about 90 percent of all breast cancer deaths worldwide.
In metastatic breast cancer patients, the cancer often travels to nearby lymph nodes（淋巴结）.Usually doctors examine lymph node tissue under a microscope to see whether cncer is present・ Google notes that previous studies have shown that up to one-fourth of metastatic lymph node classifications end up being changed after a second examination. In addition , studies show that small metastatic material can be missed up to 67 percent of the time when examinations happen under extreme time restrictions.
Google says it created a mathematical algorithm（算法）.The algorithm, called Lymph Node Assistant, is trained to find characteristics of tissue affected by metastatic cancer. When the system examined tissue images （图像），it was able to differentiate between metastatic cancer and non-cancer 99 percent of the time. In addition, the Lymph Node
Assistant is highly effective at finding the positions of the cancers. Some of these positions would be too small for doctors themselves to identify. The research also showed that the algorithm method can reduce the usual time needed to examine the disease by about 50 percent .
But Google makes clear the Al-based system is not meant to replace the work of medical professionals. Instead , it is designed to reduce the number of false identifications and help doctors work faster and more effectively.
【1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Google became a pioneer in training doctors.
B. Machine learning is able to stop future medical events.
C. Google developed artificial intelligence to help doctors.
D. Artificial intelligence cured eye diseases with equal accuracy to doctors.
【2】What can we infer about metastatic breast cancer?
A. One-fourth of the metastatic breast cancer patients die in the end.
B. Metastatic breast cancer is very difficult to identify.
C. It results in 90 percent of deaths of all cancers.
D. It can be identified after a second examination.
【3】What is the advantage of Google's new mathematical algorithm?
A. It can offer effective treatment.
B. It can tell the exact positions of cancers
C. It costs 99 percent less time than before.
D. It improves the accuracy of identifying cancers by 50%.
【4】What influence will the mathematical algorithm bring?
A. False identification of cancers will be avoided.
B. More effective prevention of cancers will be found.
C. The number of medical professionals will be reduced.
D. Doctors can have a faster understanding of patients' condition.
22、Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which are different from other cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.
Time is not very important in nonindustrial (非工业的) societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule (时间表) based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures days in terms of “sleeps” or longer periods in terms of “moons”. Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.
Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of “telling time”. For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.
In contrast (成对比), exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies.
This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently (well, quickly and without waste), for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated (复杂的) societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.
【1】By saying “Humans are social animals”, the author means ________.
A．they live all over the world
B．they are different from other animals
C．they live in one area as a whole
D．they are divided into many groups
【2】Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies because people in those societies ________.
A．don’t have the word TIME in their languages
B．don’t get used to using clocks and other timepieces
C．don’t measure time in their daily-lives around an exact time schedule
D．don’t need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule
【3】The Australian aborigines’ way of “telling time” is based on ________.
A．the change of the angle of the sun
B．the change of the weather
C．the position of the stone
D．the position of the tree or the cliff
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A．Time and Culture
B．The Measurement of Time
C．Time Schedule and Daily Life
D．Clock, Calendar and Society
23、A drunken burglar in the Orrell Park area of Liverpool, ended up leaping out of a window after a 10-year-old girl asked him to prove he was a superhero.
The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.
Thief Ethan Adamson, 25, told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking party, believing it was empty.
But he was horrified when the owner’s 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there.

Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants, covered in cuts and bruises(淤青) after a neighbor heard his cries of pain.
He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.
Police spokesman Frank Armado said, “He was in quite a serious state and couldn’t move until we got up there using ladders. He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes, before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested.”

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Punishing children is a controversial topic.Everybody has different opinions about how to act to correct a child's behavior.Parents，teachers，doctors，and specialists such as psychologists，have disagreements about whether it is good for a child's education to punish him or her.
The word “punish” means different things to different people.Punishment can be physical or emotional.Physical punishment is when the parent hits，slaps or spanks the child.
On the other hand，emotional punishment is when the parent，in order to educate the child，doesn't let him or her watch TV，go to play with his or her friends，or the like.The parent doesn't teach him or her，but still he or she punishes the child.
Although many surveys and studies have been made about what the correct way is to raise a child，nobody knows the answer or the truth.I think it will be very difficult to find the answer or get people to agree.
I think the parents should love their child and give him or her the best education，but at the same time，they should punish the child if he or she deserves it.I think if you love your child，you should be rational when you apply the punishment.It should be reasonable but strict.
The parents' goal is to have in the future a good man or woman in society，so sometimes you should do what is necessary to get your child to behave well.
