A

For all the technological wonders of modem medicine, health care-with its fax machines and clipboards(写字板)—is out of date. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the artificial-intelligence ( AI) revolution.
Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease and enthusiast for digital medicine, thinks AI will be particularly useful for such tasks as examining images, observing heart traces for abnormalities or turning doctors' words into patient records. It will be able to use masses of data to work out the best treatments, and improve workflows in hospitals. In short, AI is set to save time, lives and money.
The fear some people have is that AI will be used to deepen the assembly-line culture of modem medicine. If it gives a “ gift of time” to doctors, they argue that this bonus should be used to extend consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently.
That is a fine idea, but as health swallows an ever-bigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is exactly what is needed, at least so far as governments and insurers are concerned. Otherwise, rich societies may fail to cope with the needs of ageing and growing populations. An extra five minutes spent chatting with a patient is costly as well as valuable. The AI revolution will also enable managerial accountants to adjust and evaluate every aspect of treatment. The autonomy of the doctor will surely be weakened, especially, perhaps, in public-health systems which are duty-bound to cut unnecessary costs.
The Hippocratic Oath(誓言) holds that there is an art to medicine as well as a science, and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug”. There's lots of sense in it: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to recover better. Yet as the supply of human carers fails to satisfy the demand for health care, the future may involve consultations on smartphones and measurements monitored by chatbots. The considerately warmed stethoscope ( 听诊器) ,placed gently on a patient's back, may become a relic of the past.
1、What's Dr Topol's attitude toward AI's coming into medicine?
A．Concerned. B．Doubtful. C．Optimistic. D．Cautious.
2、What does the author of the text attach more importance to?
A．Medical costs. B．National wealth.
C．Longer consultation. D．Greater efficiency.
3、Why is the Hippocratic Oath mentioned?
A．To prove the bright future of AI.
B．To show the advantage of a human doctor.
C．To explain medical equipment is more important.
D．To argue a human doctor performs as well as a robot.
4、What may be the best title for the text?
A．Health care and AI B．AI and its applications
C．Doctors and Patients D．Dr Topol and digital medicine

B
“Preventing obesity (肥胖) and smoking can save lives, but it doesn’t save money,” reported researchers. “It was a small surprise, for it is against the common belief,” said Pieter van Baal, who led the study. “But it makes sense. If you live longer, then your costs of the health system will be more.”
The researchers found that from age 20 to 56, obese people racked up (累计) the most expensive health costs. But on average, healthy people lived 84 years. Smokers lived about 77 years, and obese people lived about 80 years. Smokers and obese people tended to have more heart disease than healthy people. Therefore in the long run, the thin and healthy group spent about $ 417,000, from age 20 on. Smokers spent about $ 326,000 and obese people $ 371,000.
“The result throws a bucket of cold water onto the idea, based on guesswork, that obesity is going to cost trillions of dollars,” said Patrick Basham, a professor of health politics. “If we’re going to worry about the future of obesity, we should stop worrying about its financial impact,” he said.
“The benefits of obesity prevention may not be seen immediately in terms of cost saving in tomorrow’s budget, but there are long-term gains,” said Baal. “These are often immeasurable when it comes to people living longer and healthier lives.” In the meanwhile, he said that governments should recognize that successful smoking and obesity prevention programs mean that people will have a higher chance of dying of something more expensive later in life.
“Lung cancer is a cheap disease to treat because people don’t survive very long. But if they are old enough to get Alzheimer’s (早老性痴呆病) one day, they may survive longer and cost more. We are not advising that governments stop trying to prevent obesity,” Baal said. “But they should do it for the right reasons.”
1、Among middle-aged people, whose costs of the health system are the most?
A．Those who are heavy smokers.
B．Those who are overweight.
C．Those who are too thin.
D．Those who are suffering from heart attacks.
2、What can we know about the belief that obesity costs much?
A．It turns out to be incorrect.
B．It comes from scientific studies.
C．It is based on medical evidence.
D．It has changed over the past years.
3、According to the text, governments should prevent obesity for the purpose of .
A．reducing the risk of suffering cancer
B．weakening obesity’s financial impact
C．making sure of people’s long and healthy life
D．reducing the money spent on medical programs
4、What would be the best title for this text?
A．A Recent Medical Study Shows the Truth about Health
B．Preventing Obesity and Smoking May Cost More
C．Obesity and Smoking Lead to Expensive Diseases
D．Governments Change Attitude towards Obesity and Smoking
