21．（6分） Supercomputers which can analyse blood samples and predict which patients are likely to become seriously ill could save tens of thousands of lives a year, it was revealed last night, according to The Daily Express.
The artificial intelligence (AI) system, developed at University College London and set to be piloted in NHS hospitals later this year, will screen “at risk” patients so doctors can take early action to prevent death or serious illness. Prof Young, a consultant surgeon at Southend University Hospital, said: “I am so excited about this form of technology.”Instead of people getting sick or dying because they are not picked up in time, this will allow us to step in earlier which will save lives and an enormous amount of money. “I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was — and signals a completely new example in the way we manage healthcare.”
The technology is the brainchild of Dr Vishal Nangalia, a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He used AI to analyse a billion stored blood samples from 20 different UK hospital trusts dating back up to 12 years. Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill.
He found the technique forecast outcomes of patients with kidney problems with up to 95 per cent accuracy. Traditional methods highlighting serious patient concerns picked up as few as 16 percent of patients who went on to die. “This gives us the opportunity not only to save lives but to prevent serious illness, making the health service not only safer but more efficient.” Prof Young said, “Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier.”
1、What does the underlined phrase “screen” in Paragraph2 mean?
A．comfort. B．treat.
C．spot. D．nurse.
2How do supercomputers help save lives?
A．By storing blood samples.
B．By analyzing patients’ cases.
C．By observing changes in blood cells.
D．By assisting doctors with their operations.
3、Why did Professor Young mention the Industrial Revolution?
A．To show the influence of AI.
B．To stress the importance of health care.
C．To introduce the topic of supercomputers.
D．To present the achievement he has accomplished.
4、What do we know about the new technology?
A．It helps patients recover earlier.
B．It has helped save thousands of lives.
C．It will promote the health service greatly.
D．It is intended for patients with kidney diseases.
22．（8分） A notice at IKEA Shanghai has been shared widely among netizens on Chinese social media. It states that the stores cafeteria now requires customers to order food before sitting down in cafeteria seats. The policy is in response to an elderly blind dating group that occupies seats for a long time, consuming only their own food brought from home. Do you support IKEA’s new regulation? China Daily readers share their opinions with us.
Lee Xin (China)
The elderly are harmless. They are lonely and are probably hoping to find some company again. If anything, the store should at least sympathize with these old people.
Mbursian (US)
This is more for socializing than for romance. I really don’t think a home furnishing store is a good dating place for seniors.
IKEA could also post a reasonable time limit per visit during peak hours. Or instead of tables and chairs, they could use those standing tables and get rid of the chairs altogether. At least IKEA’s cafeteria isn’t occupied by the dancing grannies and their portable PA systems (音响).
SEARU (Australia)
Romance is the most important thing while eating is not that important! So a noble man always leaves more space for seniors’ love affairs!
Mr. Qiu (Shanghai, China 65 years old)
We have been to fast food outlets like McDonalds, but there are barely any peers there. We feel like aliens surrounded by youngsters. If there is another place in Shanghai where elderly people can gather, we are more than ready to pay twice as much and travel further.
TedM (UK)
Romance can arise in many places, even IKEA．However, this debate arose as a result of many people taking advantage of IKEA’s generous drink offers and going there to meet and stay with friends without buying anything. IKEA is a shop; it exists to provide a service for a reasonable profit. It is not a public park.
Michel (New Zealand)
To everyone romanticizing this, please also consider that the store has an image to uphold while protecting the interests of other paying customers. It is ugly to take up seats for such long durations while you make others wait.
1、How many people are in support of this new regulation?
A．2. B．3.
C．4. D．5.
2、What is the major cause of this new regulation?
A．Senior blind dates influencing their business.
B．IKEA has zero tolerance for romantic behavior.
C．The strong reaction of netizens on social media.
D．Old people eating their own food to save money.
3、People who are against the new regulation will probably agree that .
A．seniors’ love affairs can contribute to the store’s image
B．IKEA is the only place where seniors can find their peers
C．the society is being too judgmental and lacks understanding
D．IKEA should not reserve a special area for the old people to date
23．（8分）Imagine that you’re looking at your company-issued smartphone and you notice an e-mail from Linkedln: “These companies are looking for candidates like you!” You aren’t necessarily searching for a job, but you’re always open to opportunities, so out of curiosity, you click on the link. A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk. “We’ve noticed that you’re spending more time on Linkedln lately, so I wanted to talk with you about your career and whether you’re happy here,” she says. Uh-oh.
It’s an awkward scene. Attrition (损耗）has always been expensive for companies, but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising, owing to tight labor markets. Thus companies are intensifying(增强）their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them. Tactics (策略）range from electronic monitor to sophisticated(复杂的）analyses of employees’ social media lives.
Some of this work may be a reason to let employees to quit. In general, people leave their jobs because they don’t like their boss, don’t see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a higher pay; these reasons have held steady for years.
New research conducted by CEB, a Washington-based technology company, looks not just at why workers quit but also at when. “We’ve learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they’re doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life, says Brian Kropp, who heads CEB’s HR practice. “We’ve learned to focus on moments that allow people to make these comparisons.”
Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the exit. Companies can tell whether employees using work computers or phones are spending time on (or even just opening e-mails from) career websites, and research shows that more firms are paying attention to these things. Large companies have also begun tracking badge swipes(浏览痕迹)---- employees’ use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage---to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job.
1、From the first paragraph, we can infer Linkedln is___________.
A．an e-mail B．a job from the Internet
C．a professional social network D．a world-famous company
2、What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A．The cost of losing good workers is rising.
B．Companies are stricter with workers than before.
C．Measures have been taken to find the potential workers who want to quit.
D．Finding new jobs has been a trend for most workers.
3、According to the research by CEB, which of the following might be the most probable reason for workers to quit their jobs?
A．They don’t like their bosses. B．Workers are always doing comparisons.
C．Not seeing opportunities for promotion. D．To find a higher-paid job.
4、What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To make a review on a phenomenon. B．To tell us the leader’s concerns.
C．To show a new trend in the job market. D．To stress the role of new technologies.
