所说的Ijustneededtobeseenwithoutmessingaroundwithlonglinesofpeople可知，Latuske很发愁看医生，

因为他需要等几天甚至一周才能预约上医生。他也可以预约急诊，但需要排队等候。2.D。理解具体信息。根据第五段中的Latuske'swifeshowedhimaprivatemedicalappwithwhichhecouldseeadoctorwithinthehour

—

virtually可知，Latuske的妻子给他推荐了一款私人医疗应用程序。3.C。理解词汇。根据第六段中的hedidn'ttrustsuchaserviceandquestionedthecredentialsofdoctorsavailablethroughit及Latuske

所说的ButIwasingreatneedofadoctor可知，起初，Latuske并不信赖妻子推荐的那款应用程序。由此推断，skeptical在此应表示“怀疑的”。4.A。推断。根据倒数第三段Within20minutes,hewasspeakingwithadoctor,whosoondiagnosedhimwithtonsillitis、倒数第二段中的Withinthehour,hewasathisnearestpharmacy,collectingmedicines及最后一段中Latuske

所说的Iwasimpressedbytheefficiencyofthewholething可知，通过妻子推荐的医疗应用程序，Latuske很快就弄清楚了自己的病情，并且买到了药。由此可推断，与传统的就医方式相比，Latuske所使用的新的问诊方式很高效。【补充说明】outofit

神志不清，昏昏然B篇主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术本文是说明文。科技发展正在为老年人的生活提供更多的便利与保障。5.B。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的inside,GeorgiaTechresearchersaretestinganddevelopingadvanceddevices和第二段中的Thehouseisactuallyalivinglab,calledtheAwareHome可知，该处房屋是一个科研实验室。6.A。理解具体信息。根据第四段中的Thesensorwillautomaticallyturnthestoveoffifitnolongerdetectsmovementaroundtheapplianceafteracertainperiodoftime可知，该设备长时间感知不到炉具附近的动静时，会自动关掉它。7.C。推断。根据第五段中Mynatt所说的Theywilllearnmoreaboutyourhabits,yourlikes,yourdislikes,yourroutines,whenyou'remostlikelytoforgettotakeyourmedicine,whataretheaspectsofyourhealththatneedthemostattention可知，未来智能家居设备会收集数据，更加了解用户的习惯、喜好、日常作息、常忘吃药的时间和需要特别关注的健康问题。因此可推断，她认为未来智能家居设备会变得更加个性化。8.A。推断。根据最后一段中的AlbertBoletofAtlantathinksmostolderadultsaretypicallyreadytobringtechnologyintotheirhomes及AlbertBolet

所说的Peoplehavethemisguidedimpressionthatseniorsareopposedtotechnology

和Wedounderstandwirelesstechnology,andweunderstandhowthesethingswillmakethingseasier.Beingindependentismostimportantinthemindofanybodythatgetstobeourageorolder可推断，Bolet认为大多数老年人乐意使用智能家居设备。第二节主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术本文是议论文。文章论述了未来人工智能不会取代人类，掌控世界。36.C。本空前描述人们担心人工智能将会掌控世界；本空后描述人工智能在许多行业已经取代且将会取代人力。

由此可推断，本空内容应与“人工智能取代人类”相关，C项符合语境。C项中的takingover

与本空前的takeover和本空后的replaced相照应。37.G。本空前说明人工智能不会取代人类；下文几段具体论述人工智能缺乏人类具有的一些品质及能力。由此可知，本空内容与“为什么人工智能不会取代人类”相关，且能起到统领下文的作用，故选G项。G项顺接本空前的itcannotcompletelyreplacepeople，且对其作进一步的解释说明。38.F。AIcannotfeelemotions是本段的主旨句。结合WhileAImaybeabletodealwithissuesinahumanlikeway,itisnotabletofeelemotionslikesympathyorunderstanding可知，人工智能可以像人类一样解决一些问题，但它们没有情感。也就是说，它们不可能完全取代人类。故F项符合语境。F项中的emotions与上文中的emotions相照应，jobsrequiringemotionsarestillbestdo
