定时训练(16)专题特训(阅读理解推理推断) 体裁：说明文话题：视频护理时间：10分钟Californian citizen Kelly Ilnicki is very close to her 89yearold grandmother，who until recently lives alone in her home in Oceanside，near San Diego.Three or four times a day，Ilnicki talks to her grandmother via VideoCare，a video conferencing system for seniors and their family members and caregivers that was developed by a Menlo Parkbased startup of the same name.“In February，we were talking on VideoCare and Grandma was sitting on the couch.I watched her fall over and，to be honest，I thought shed had a ministroke，”said Ilnicki.“I was able to yell at her.We called the medical assistants in Oceanside and they came to her house.I could hear them beating on the door.”When they arrived，Ilnicki was able to explain via VideoCare what had happened，as well as discuss what medication(药物治疗) her grandmother was on.“The medical assistants were thrilled，”said Ilnicki.“VideoCare has been the most amazing thing for our family.Compared with just having a phone call，talking on VideoCare makes a huge difference.”The development of VideoCare is based on a simple fact.Todays 80 and 90 year olds retired from the workforce before the Internet and smart phones were a necessity of daily living，and they are the generation least enthusiastic to explore the new technology.VideoCares technology basically strips down the operating system to make it as simple as possible for the senior.All of the management of the device happens remotely，by the caregiver or family member.“The senior doesnt see an operating system，files，folders，or applications，”said Dave Trescot，cofounder and CEO of VideoCare.“They touch the call button to make a call or the photo button to see a photo.Weve reduced everything to one touch.We have users in Alzheimers wards(病区) who can use our system.”The system is marketed to seniors who either“age in place” in their own homes or live in assisted living facilities.The company has not yet sold any units，but is partnering with local eldercare agencies to get feedback on how well the system works.Eventually，the hope is to sell the service with a monthly subscription fee，much like a cable TV bill.The US.market for “advanced remote patient monitoring，”which includes not just videoconferencing but also the ability to remotely monitor patient care and link to electronic medical records，grew from $8.9 billion in 2011 to $10.6 billion in 2022，according to a March report by Kalorama Information.The report found that the aging of the population，increasing health care costs，shrinking health care resources，advancing technologies and the proven cost effectiveness of patient monitoring all fuel the markets growth.VideoCare sees huge potential for elder care agencies themselves to use the technology.“Some of our agencies use the VideoCare system to remind seniors that theres an ice cream social，or to ask if they want fish or chicken for dinner，”said Trescot.“We can manage a wide range of situations for caregivers，families and professionals.Were combining automation and remote care with personal interaction.”【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。本文通过描述Kelly通过视频护理系统准时救Kelly外婆的例子来阐述这个视频护理系统在老年人护理的重要性和它的前景。1The writer

check my email.I have a daily electronic newspaper and weather report waiting for me.My computer stays logged on all day，and the last thing I do before I go to bed is check my email again，just in case

sat down by my computer after classes were done for the day.I had an hour before choir(合唱班)，and a pile of reading that needed to be done.Ill just quickly check my email，I thought，and then Ill do my reading.Instead，I found myself doing email and Internet browsing(扫瞄) for the entire hour and was even two minutes late for choir.Countless times Ive said “only one more minute” to myselfbut quite often that “minute” turns into hours.Spends less and less time on meals at home or at work，and eats in front of the monitor.Occasionally I am pressed for time to get to my next class，so I eat and do

where we are either asked to choose between trust and disbelief.Many of us would say we have to choose trust over disbelief.Actually we are given intellectual(智力的) power to choose what we want，and what we choose certainly need not be the one that sounds pleasing.That is，we can choose both trust and disbelief，but we have to know when to choose between these two.We should all realize that we are living in a world which is unfortunately mixed with people of various types.We have been given the power of judging who we are working with and who we are partnering with.We cannot give an excuse for believing a scheming(阴谋多端的) person，just because he looked or sounded nice，unless we consider ourselves mentally unskillful.This world was there before us and it does not owe us a single thing.We are asked to take care of ourselves and our belongings.Trust，too，has to be saved for the deserving(值得的) people.When we give trust universally to all，we end up troubled by the undeserving common cheat.People say trust is life.True! But only wisely exercised trust is life.When we start a conversation with someone，the first things that we usually notice would be their dress，behavior，style and their language.What sometimes we all forget to look at is the persons intention.Now how to look at a persons intention is a lesson everybody has to learn for themselves in their own waythere is no single standard for it.But it is certainly possible to discover the purpose if we seek a little bit more.Certainly a false offer of friendship or guidance cannot stand undiscovered for long；we_are_therefore_called_to_exercise_disbelief_over_trust_at_least_momentarily_till_we_find_out_that_we_certainly_are_in_agreement_with_a_mutual(相互的)goodwilled_person.The world teaches you lots of lessons and if we are willing，we can learn all that we want.【语篇导读】一生中，我们很多时候要在“信任与怀疑”之间做出选择。人们被赐予了做选择的力量，有些时候，怀疑是信任的必由之路。10In the first paragraph，the author _Aconcentrates on the reason why we make different choicesBfocuses on how to choose between trust and disbeliefCsuggests that trust should be wisely exercisedDimplies that people are forced to make the choice解析推理推断题。依据文章第一段中Actually we are given intellectual (智力的) power to choose what we want，and what we choose certainly need not be the one that sounds pleasing.以及第三段中But only wisely exercised trust is life.可知C项正确。答案C11We can infer from the passage that _Apeople who we are working with are in fact those who we are partnering withBthe first thing we notice tends to mislead our judgmentCthe mentally healthy people will not judge a person by his looksDthe standards of looking at a persons intention are not various解析推理推断题。依据文章第四段the first things that we usually notice would be their dress，behavior，style and their language.What sometimes we all forget to look at is the persons intention可知，我们首先看到的通常只是表面，而不是一个人的内心。答案B12The underlined sentence means _Atrust and disbelief go hand in hand with each otherBdisbelief is necessary if you arent wiseCtrust is established if two people know each otherDdoubt may serve as the precondition for trust解析推理推断题。依据文章最终一段首句：Certainly a false offer of friendship or guidance cannot stand undiscovered for long(虚假的友情或指导掩饰不了多长时间)可以推断出最佳答案：doubt may serve as the precondition for trust(怀疑可能是信任的先决条件)。答案D13Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?ATrust or Disbelief?BTrust Is Life.CTrust over Disbelief?DDisbelief over Trust?解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主题为：Trust or Disbelief？(信任与怀疑)，而并非论述“一方面赛过另一方面”， 所以C、D不正确；B项太宽泛，也不正确。答案A
