10、选出最佳选项。21（6分）To fight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro, an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of orange peels (皮

11、) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that

12、their competitor was “polluting a national park”. They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop

13、by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him.“While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, Id have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls of vines (藤) in the orange peel site itself.” said Timo

14、thy Treuer.Treuer and his team spent months picking up samples (样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area with orange waste had richer soil.The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably

15、 not that surprising to people familiar with composting (施肥), but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange “mined” a national park and stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuers study has received worldwide attention, this type of “ruining” is being s

16、eriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.1、What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?AAdd them to fuel. BThrow them into a national park.CBum or bury them. DMake them into cakes.2、What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?AIt lasted 15 years. BIt

17、was signed by Treuer.CIt was made in about 1998. DIt was broken by Del Oro.3、What was Treuers finding?AOrange peels contain much fibre.BOrange peels can make soil richer.COrange peels rot away in a short time.DOrange waste ruined the national park.4、What is the authors attitude toward the judge ment

18、ioned in the last paragraph?ADisapproving. BPositive.CWorried. DAdmirable.22（8分）For all the technological wonders of modem medicine, health care-with its fax machines and clipboards(写字板)is out of date. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the artificial-inte

19、lligence ( AI) revolution.Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease and enthusiast for digital medicine, thinks AI will be particularly useful for such tasks as examining images, observing heart traces for abnormalities or turning doctors words into patient records. It will be able to use masses of dat

20、a to work out the best treatments, and improve workflows in hospitals. In short, AI is set to save time, lives and money.The fear some people have is that AI will be used to deepen the assembly-line culture of modem medicine. If it gives a “ gift of time” to doctors, they argue that this bonus shoul

21、d be used to extend consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently.That is a fine idea, but as health swallows an ever-bigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is exactly what is needed, at least so far as governments and insurers are concerned. Otherwise, rich s

22、ocieties may fail to cope with the needs of ageing and growing populations. An extra five minutes spent chatting with a patient is costly as well as valuable. The AI revolution will also enable managerial accountants to adjust and evaluate every aspect of treatment. The autonomy of the doctor will s

23、urely be weakened, especially, perhaps, in public-health systems which are duty-bound to cut unnecessary costs.The Hippocratic Oath(誓言) holds that there is an art to medicine as well as a science, and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeons knife or the chemists drug”. The

24、res lots of sense in it: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to recover better. Yet as the supply of human carers fails to satisfy the demand for health care, the future may involve consultations on smartphones and measurements monitored by chatbots. The considerately warmed steth

25、oscope ( 听诊器) ,placed gently on a patients back, may become a relic of the past.1、Whats Dr Topols attitude toward AIs coming into medicine?AConcerned.BDoubtful.COptimistic.DCautious.2、What does the author of the text attach more importance to?AMedical costs.BNational wealth.CLonger consultation.DGre

28、 the 56 wild parrots that once lived there survived Maria, the Category-4 storm that struck Puerto Rico in September 2017.

32、her to catch some of the remaining wild parrots and put them in the same cage as the birds that are set to be released. This way, the captive birds can learn from the wild birds how to survive in the forests. Another consideration is to release some captive parrots in Maricao, which was not as heavi

38、king immigrants opened Piroshky bakery 25 years ago. Not a lot of people understand what Piroshky is. People think sometimes its a last name, so we do have to educate people a lot.
