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.
22、Scientists have calculated the total amount of plastic ever made: 8.3 billion tons. Looked at another way, that's as heavy as 25,000 Empire State Buildings or one billion elephants. And incredibly, almost all of it has been made in the last 65 years.
So what's the problem? Much plastic is in the form of packaging which is used just once and then thrown away. According to a major new study from the University of California, 9% of this is recycled, 12% is completely burnt and 79% goes to landfill. And because most plastic is not easily disposed of, once it's in the ground, it stays there.
It's a situation that has led the paper's lead author, ecologist Dr. Roland Geyer, to say that we are “rapidly heading towards ‘Planet Plastic’”. The team behind this report also estimate that eight million tons of plastic waste are escaping into the sea every year. This has caused concern that plastic is entering the food chain, through fish and other sea life which swallow the smaller fragments.
Of course, the reason why there's so much plastic around is that it's an amazingly useful material. It's durable and adaptable, and is used for everything from yoghurt pots to spaceships. But it's exactly this quality which makes it a problem. The only way to destroy plastic is to heat or burn it -although this has the side effect of harmful emissions.
So what's the alternative, other than using less plastic? Oceanographer Dr. Erik van Sebille from Utrecht University says we're facing a “tsunami” of plastic waste, and that the global waste industry needs to “get its act together”.
Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from Plymouth University, says it's poor design that's at fault. He says that if products are currently designed “with recyclability in mind”, they could be recycled around 20 times over.
【1】Where does most plastic waste go?
A．It is completely burnt.
B．It ends up in landfill.
C．It is thrown away randomly.
D．It stays in the ground.
【2】How might plastic enter the food we eat?
A．By getting into the deep sea.
B．By being used as useful materials.
C．By getting into the food market directly.
D．By being eaten and absorbed by fish.
【3】Which of the following might Richard Thompson agree with?
A．Plastic waste has caused tsunami.
B．Plastics are currently recycled over 20 times.
C．The design of products should be environmentally friendly.
D．Global waste industry is to blame for the plastic waste problem.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Planet Plastic
B．Global Waste Industry
C．Recyclability of Plastics
D．Plastic Waste into the Sea
23、Some places in the world have strange laws. It’s important for you to know about them before going there.
Whoever likes to chew gum (口香糖) may have to leave Singapore. The government really wants to keep the city clean and will fine you for chewing gum.
Before you leave for the United Arab Emirates you’d better make sure you aren’t visiting during Ramadan (斋月). During that time you aren’t allowed to eat or drink in public. Tourists have been fined up to $275 for drinking in public.
Lovers spend so much time kissing each other goodbye at train stations that trains often start late. This law---no kissing your lover goodbye at train stations---is rather old, and isn’t in use today in France.
In Thailand it’s against the law to drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt on, no matter how hot it is. Punishments are different in different areas and can include warnings and tickets costing about $10. No joke ---the local police will stop you.
Studies in Denmark have shown that cars with their headlights on are more noticeable by other drivers than those with their headlights off. Drivers there are required to leave their headlights on even during the day, or they may face a fine up to $100.
Do you often buy things using coins? Don’t do it in Canada. The Currency Law of 1985 doesn’t allow using only coins to buy things. Even the use of the dollar-coin is limited (受限制的). The shop owner has the right to choose whether to take your coins or not.
Make sure you know about these laws before your next trip. Better safe than sorry.
【1】What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. How to make your trip around the world safe.
B. Some strange laws you should know about for your trip.
C. Interesting places you can go to around the world.
D. Why there are strange laws in the world.
【2】If you are driving a car in Thailand, __________.
A. the police will play a joke on you
B. the police will give you tickets costing about $10
C. you should wear your shirt even though it’s hot
D. you should always keep your headlights on
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A. You can turn your headlights off in daytime in Denmark.
B. Kissing goodbye at train stations isn’t allowed in France today.
C. Tourists in the United Arab Emirates shouldn’t eat in public.
D. The Singaporean government cares a lot about its environment.
24、How to Write a Letter to Parents
As a teacher, one of the most difficult parts of your job is working with parents. With proper communication, however, you can build bridges between the school and home. 【1】
If you do it properly, this is an excellent way to communicate when you cannot meet with parents face to face.
·Put positive communication in the letter, even if you are writing to discuss a problem.
【2】 Even if it is difficult, you must find this positive spin, because it will make the parents more open to what you have to discuss. The general rule is “start with the good, hit them with the bad, then end on a positive note”.
·【3】 Express your concern and desire to help. Do not place it completely on their shoulders, as they may resent(厌恶)this action. Show them through the letter that you want to work with them to find a solution.
·Ask for a response. You can ask them to write back, sign a part of the letter or give you a call. 【4】 Be caring, but make sure they got the communication. Remember, your goal is to work together to help their child succeed.
·Consider mailing the letter to the parent, rather than sending it home with the student. Some students will intentionally forget to give the letter to their parents, while others will accidentally or purposely lose the letter.【5】
A．Writing a letter to parents is one way to do this.
B．If you do not hear from them, you should call them
C．Share the problem with the parents.
D．Respect parents and never quarrel with them.
E．Whenever you meet with problems, you should keep cool.
F．Sending it in the mail makes it more certain that it will be received.
G．You can do this by pointing out a gain the child has made recently.
