21、 A few years ago, a doctor gave a wrong prescription to a 9-year-old boy because he had accidentally clicked the next medicine listed in the drop-down menu. Unfortunately, the boy died.
Dr. Gidi Stein heard the story and felt forced to do something. “It was like killing someone with a spelling error. He just clicked on the wrong button,” Stein said. “One would have thought there’d be some kind of spell-checker to prevent these terrible things from happening. But apparently this is not the case.”
Several things were immediately obvious to the 54-year-old Stein, who had previously studied computer science. “If you look at this problem from a bird’s eye view, there were so many places down the line where this decision could have been stopped — from the physician to the pharmacy (药房) even to the mother. All of them had all the relevant information to have a judgment call that this was just the wrong drug for the wrong patient.” For Stein, it represented a systemic failure.
Stein compared this with credit cards. “If you use your credit card in the daily routine over time, a pattern of how we use our cards comes out: the grocery store, the gas station in our local town. If your credit card would appear tomorrow in Zimbabwe, it would be unusual. The credit card company would call you and say, ‘Hey, was that you?’”
But nothing like that existed in the field of prescription drugs. So Stein set up a company called MedAware. He came up with a machine learning outlier detection (异常检测值) system. In other words, he trained the computers to realize if a doctor accidentally prescribed the wrong medicine.
The system is already used in hospitals and doctor’s offices. To date, MedAware has used their technology to help nearly six million patients in the United States and Israel.
【1】What led to the boy’s death?
A.The doctor’s carelessness. B.The drawback of the computer.
C.The doctor’s poor medical skill. D.The incomplete health care system.
【2】What does Stein feel about this medical accident?
A.Angry. B.Frightened.
C.Embarrassed. D.Regretful.
【3】What can MedAware’s technology do?
A.Help doctor choose right medicine. B.Reminds patients to take medicine.
C.Introduce new drugs to doctors. D.Check the prescription.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary. B.A guidebook.
C.A magazine. D.A science fiction.

23、Late that afternoon I took the train back to Sydney. There I found another surprise waiting for me. My room had been given to somebody else and they had no room for me. Harkin had known my travel plans and had arranged everything; how could he have booked the room only for three days? There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel. The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel, and when I said that I was happy to stay at the Airport, thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city, they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport. There was one small matter: the room rate was $300 per night. The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only$145. I asked if there were anything cheaper they might suggest but they warned that most hotels would already be full by this time.
The hotel was far from the train station, so I'd best take a taxi, at $25. On the way to the Holiday Inn, we passed a hotel just two blocks from the Holiday Inn that advertised a room rate of $104. At the desk I asked if their room rate could go down a lot. “No, this is a 4star hotel，”the waiter told me. “In that case，” I replied, “I'll just walk the two blocks to the cheap hotel.”But she warned me that they were probably full and that if I didn't take the room, it might not be available if I came back. Finally，I decided to take the room.
The room itself was big, but the air conditioning couldn't keep up with the Australian heat. I couldn't get to sleep until about 1：00 am.
【1】Why did the writer have to look for another hotel?
A. He didn't book early. B. He wasn't well received.
C. He was short of money. D. Harkin made a mistake.
【2】What was the weather like at that moment?
A. Hot B. Warm.
C. Cold. D. Cool
【3】Why did the writer take a room in the Holiday Inn finally?
A. It's a 4star hotel. B. The room was in great demand.
C. It was midnight then. D. It' s around the station.
24、Japan is known to have higher than average rates of stomach cancer. Recently, the town of Kaneyama in Yamagata Prefecture decided to get its 6, 000 residents (居民) tested.
However, the frozen urine samples (尿样) are not tested in conventional ways. Instead, Professor Masao Miyashita and his team are using them in a trial to determine if specially trained cancer-sniffing dogs can accurately detect the disease. Though the study is still in its early stages, Miyashita is thrilled with the results. He said, “In our research so far, cancer detection dogs have been able to find signs of cancer with an accuracy of nearly 100 percent.”
Researchers have known about the animals’ superior sensory skills for decades. However, their ability to detect cancer in humans came to light in 1989, after a dog sniffed out early-stage malignant melanoma (恶性黑色素瘤) on a patient’s leg in London. Since then, scientists from many countries have conducted studies to test dogs’ great skill at identifying cancer chemicals.
While most dogs can be trained for the task, researchers say the best candidates are dogs that are precise, quiet, and perhaps even a little shy. The training process is similar to how dogs are taught to learn any trick — by rewarding them with treats! However, it takes much longer because the dogs have to learn to separate the “cancer scent (气味)” from the thousands of organic compounds (有机化合物) in the human body. Researchers begin by exposing the dogs to urine samples from people with cancer, people with other diseases, and patients with no health issues, Once the dogs are able to accurately identify cancer, they are further trained to detect particular kinds of cancer.
Successful as they may be, experts think dogs are unlikely to replace conventional tests. For one, it takes about seven years and costs as much as $45,000 to train a single dog. Klaus Hackner, a researcher and physician who studies dogs detecting cancer in breath samples at Krems University Hospital in Austria, is also not convinced dogs can be relied upon alone. Patients, therefore, have to receive further tests to confirm if they have the disease.
【1】What do we know about the cancer-sniffing dogs mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A．They have done a great job.
B．They are trained in a special way.
C．They can easily learn to distinguish cancer.
D．They can be seen in many Japanese hospitals.
【2】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A．Offer readers some advice.
B．Add some background information.
C．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
【3】What kind of dog is suitable for the cancer-sniffing job?
A．Smart and brave.
B．Active and faithful.
C．Strong and patient.
D．Careful and peaceful.
【4】What is Klaus Hackner’s opinion on cancer-sniffing dogs?
A．They should work as a team.
B．They need to receive more training.
C．They can replace doctors in detecting cancer.
D．They should be used together with traditional tests.
