26、 HANGZHOU-Chinese internet giant Alibaba on Tuesday opened a hotel loaded with artificial intelligence (Al) and robots, automating a series of procedures like check-in, lights control and room service.
FlyZoo Hotel, opened in Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang province, where Alibaba is headquartered, is known as the company's first "future hotel”. Customers can check into the hotel by simply scanning their faces. The facial recognition system installed in the hotel also enables customers to use their faces as key cards to open doors and access another hotel service. Users can also control the lights, televisions and curtains in the room via Alibaba's voice-activated digital assistant, while robots are deployed to serve dishes, cocktails and cofiee. Hotel bookings and check-out can also be done with a few clicks on mobile through an app. nThe Al-based solution can help customers save time and relieve hotel employees from repetitive work," said Wang Qun, CEO of FlyZoo Hotel. The hotel is the latest example of Chinese tech companies1 attempt into traditional industries such as the hotel industry.
E-commerce giant JD. com announced in October its strategy to put smart home and electronic devices sold on its platform into hotels, in an effort to improve online sales.
In July, Baidu teamed up with Intercontinental Hotels Group in Beijing to allow guests to use its voice-controlled assistant to adjust room temperature and order room service at ease.
Before that, social media giant Tencent introduced QQfamily, a similar tech solution for hotel operators, in the southern city of Zhuhai last year.
"We want to install a 'smart brain' for hotels, " said Wang, "In the future, we will continue to make hotels smarter and more automated, as well as create more personalized experiences for consumers."
【1】How can customers check into FlyZoo Hotel?
A. By scanning their faces. B. By clicking their mobile phones.
C. By showing hotel staff their ID cards. D. By using voice-activated digital assistant.
【2】Which of the following hasn't been realized?
A. All hotel service is provided by robots.
B. Room service can be controlled by artificial intelligence.
C. Room temperature can be adjusted by artificial intelligence.
D. Televisions can be turned off by voice-activated digital assistant.
【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?

27、In a study published in Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers at Ohio State University show how artificial intelligence(AI)can follow clinical trials to identify drugs for repurposing, a solution that can help advance innovative treatments.
Repurposing drugs is legal and not unusual. When doctors prescribe(开处方)drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA)for purposes different from what is printed on the labels, the drugs are being used “off-label” Just because a drug is FDA-approved for a specific type of disease does not prevent it from having possible benefits for other purposes.
For example, Metformin, a drug that is FDA-approved for treating type 2 diabetes, is also used to treat PCOS(a disease of women), and other diseases. Trazodone, an anti-depressant with FDA-approval to treat depression, is also prescribed by doctors to help treat patients with sleep issues.
The Ohio State University research team created an AI deep learning model for predicting treatment probability with patient data including the treatment, outcomes, and potential confounders(干扰因素).
Confounders are related to the exposure and outcome. For example, a connection is identified between music festivals and increases in skin rashes(红疹). Music festivals do not directly cause skin rashes. In this case, one possible confounding factor between the two may be outdoor heat, as music festivals tend to run outdoors when the temperature is high, and heat is a known cause for rashes. When working with real-world data, confounders could number in the thousands. AI deep learning is well-suited to find patterns in the complexity of potentially thousands of confounders.
The researcher team used confounders including population data and co-prescribed drugs. With this proof-of-concept, now clinicians have a powerful AI tool to rapidly discover new treatments by repurposing existing medications.
【1】What do we know about a drug used off-label?
A.It is sold without a label.
B.It is available at a low price.
C.Its uses extend beyond the original ones.
D.Its clinical trials are rejected by doctors.
【2】Metformin and Trazodone are similar as both of them________.
A.are used off-label
B.treat rare diseases
C.result in sleep issues
D.are medical breakthroughs
【3】What can be inferred about “confounders”?
A.They are possible treatments.
B.They are environmental factors.
C.They can be easily recognized in real-world data.
D.They should be taken into serious consideration.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.AI examines benefits of existing drugs.
B.AI identifies off-label uses for drugs.
C.AI finds new drugs for common diseases.
D.AI proves the power of drug research.
28、It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mother will push the conversation into the Third World War. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she shouts all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to say except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve something because of loving it, not because of fame or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle (艰难) to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes back home around 5:00 pm or even 6:00 pm.
However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

29、 Paulie received a remote control car, some clothes, and a collection of action figures for his birthday. But what he really wanted was this video game he had been asking for. Only Granddad’s present was to come, so, with two fingers on each hand crossed tightly, he hoped.
“Here you go you little whippersnapper.”
“Thanks,” said Paulie, ripping the wrapping clean off the present.
His face dropped; all he got was a drawing pad, and an old, used, wooden pencil.
“Now that there is a magic pencil,” said Granddad.
Paulie looked sceptical.
“It brings imagination to life,” said Granddad, prodding(戳一下)his nose secretly.
Later that night, Paulie was sent to bed. But he couldn’t sleep. He wished he had his game to play, but he didn’t. So he got up, took out his pad and “magic” pencil, and started to draw.
Paulie drew a monster. He then drew a castle for the monster to attack, and he added a princess, as they are always in castles. Paulie figured the monster wanted to eat the princess as her dress made her look like a birthday cake.
Then he drew a knight(骑士), as knights always rescue princesses.
Then something magical happened. Paulie was sucked into this paper world.
Paulie now stood looking down at the castle. A knight was charging at him. So, with his mighty(有劲儿的)arm, he hit the knight right hard out of the picture. Then he ate the princess.
Paulie soon found himself back in his bedroom. He looked at the paper; on it was a drawing of the monster. It was licking(舔)its finger, with a big smile. Paulie smiled back.
