B 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 the judgment that this was just the wrong drug for the wrong patient. For Stein, it represented a systematic failure. Stein compared this with credit cards. “If you use your credit card in the daily routine over time, a pattern emerges of how we use our cards : 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 outliner detection 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 doctor5 s offices. To date, MedAware has used their technology to help nearly six million patients in the United States and Israel. 4．What caused the boy?s death? A．The doctor?s carelessness. B．The doctor?s poor medical skill. C．The failure of the computer. D．The incomplete health care system. 5．How did Dr. Gidi Stein react to the boy?s death? A．He was annoyed and put the blame on the doctor only. B．He was regretful and tried to prevent similar accidents happening. C．He was embarrassed and mistook it as a systematic failure. D．He was confused and detected the mistakes in prescriptions himself. 6．What does Stein want to tell us by mentioning credit cards? A．Credit cards are available for doctors? prescriptions. B．Instructions in using credit cards are offered to users. C．The boy might have been saved with the technology like credit cards. D．MedAware?s technology will benefit the patients in Zimbabwe. 7．It can be concluded from the text that ________. A．MedAware?s technology helps doctors choose right medicine B．MedAware?s technology checks the prescriptions doctors make out C．Medical industry worldwide has enjoyed MedAware?s technology D．The boy? s mother was not to blame for his death during the accident C The royal family is filled with rules, and one in particular might explain why Princess Charlotte is a princess, but her kids likely won't be. When it comes to the British royal family, one thing is almost always true: they have a pretty confusing set of official rules and protocols. For instance, the royal family doesn't have a last name. And don't forget the fact that Queen Elizabeth celebrates two birthdays every year. If your head isn't swimming yet, consider the tradition of royal titles. As a British custom, only the daughter of a prince or a prince's wife may be considered a formal "princess". The latter applies to Kate, who is both a princess and the Duchess of Cambridge thanks to her marriage to Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. And their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, also bear official royal titles because their father is Prince William. However, while Prince George's future children will also carry their father's royal status, any children that Princess Charlotte has will not automatically be considered princes or princesses. Why? Royal custom dictates that royal titles are passed down via sons, but not daughters. "Royal titles are inherited through sons, so if Princess Charlotte has children they would not automatically inherit the titles (his or her royal highness) HRH, Prince, or Princess," Lucy Hume, associate director of etiquette experts Debrett's, told Town& Country. Of course, exceptions can (and will!) be made. (Learn about every time the British royal family broke their own protocol.) The Queen has offered HRH status to other royal offspring in the past, including the children of Queen Elizabeth's daughter, Anne. Although Princess Anne and her husband, Captain Phillips, declined, perhaps Princess Charlotte will be extended the same offer when her own children are born. 8．What?s the meaning of the underlined word “protocols” in the second paragraph? A．Promise. B．Behavior. C．Manners. D．Connection. 9．What kind of child is regarded as "princess"? A．The son of a princess. B．The daughter of a prince. C．The daughter of a princess. D．The wife of a king. 10．Who is Charlotte's father? A．Prince George. B．Elizabeth. C．Prince William. D．Captain Philips. 11．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．Any person can break traditional rules. B．Not every person must obey traditional rules. C．Any British royal family member has their own title. D．Maybe the British royal family will break their own rules. D Space Hotel Promises Guests A Truly Out-Of-This-World Vacation Looking for a true out-of-this-world vacation? Then you are in luck! On Thursday, Aprils, Texas-based start-up Orion Span announced they were taking reservations for Aurora（极光） Station, the world's first luxury hotel in space, which is expected to launch in 2021 and begin welcoming visitors by 2022. The pill-shaped space station, which begins construction in 2019, will measure 43.5 feet long and 14.1 feet wide-about the size of a large private jet?s cabin-when completed. It will accommodate four guests in two private suites and two crew members, most likely former astronauts. Hovering about 200 miles above Earth, Aurora Station will circle the planet once every 90 minutes, enabling guests to enjoy 16 spectacular sunrises and sunsets daily, as well as scores of the breathtaking northern and southern auroras that the hotel is named after. While admiring the beauty of our planet, tourists can eat non-astronaut food and drinks or entertain themselves with playing cards. Those hoping to do something more worthwhile will be able to engage in astronaut-like experiments such as growing food in a special environment. The Wi-Fi enabled spacecraft will make it easy for guests to share their experiences with friends and family members on Earth. At the end of the week and half-long vacation, returning guests will be treated to a special "hero's welcome", similar to the one experienced by astronauts returning from a real mission. Before the once-in-a-lifetime trip, guests will have to undergo the three-month-long special training learning how to move in a weightless environment, along with the basics of spaceflight and orbital mechanics. Also, before you start packing your bags, you will have to pay $9.5 million for the 12-day round-trip vacation. While several companies are planning to build hotels in space, Orion Span hopes to transform sections of used rockets floating in space into hotel rooms, instead of crowding the already messy skies with additional man-made objects. 12．What can be learnt about Aurora Station? A．People can visit it now. B．It?s construction will last for about 5 years. C．It can only hold four people in this station. D．It looks like a pill with the size of a small plane. 13．Why is the station named Aurora Station? A．Because guests can enjoy spectacular auroras of the Earth. B．Because the station will give off auroras while travelling. C．Because the station will run around the auroras of the Earth. D．Because the hotel is lit up by the auroras of the Earth. 14．What can guests do in a space hotel? A．Stay there as long as they like. B．Cook meals like they are at home. C．Communicate with their family. D．Receive welcome as a real hero. 15．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．There is little room for people to live on the earth. B．Too many space crafts have aroused people's concern. C．Space hotels will be necessary in the near future. D．Used rockets floating in space are easy to be recycled. 第二节 (共 5 小题:每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Will you stop using plastic? If you take a look around your kitchen or office right now, chances are that you?ll notice you?re surrounded by plastic―water bottles, to-go coffee cups, straws (吸管), plastic grocery bags, food wrappers, take-out containers, single-serve coffee pods and produce bags. 16． It?s certainly not realistic to remove all plastic from your life, but let?s examine some statistics that may encourage you to reduce your single-use plastic footprint by throwing away straws, switching to reusable water bottles, bringing cloth bags to the grocery store and more. According to a study published in the journal Science Advances, the popularity of plastic, which began rising in the 1950s, is growing out of control. 17． And there?s no sign of slowing down, considering scientists say that another 12 trillion kilograms will be produced worldwide by 2050. “Every piece of plastic that has ever been created will remain in the environment in some form, but once we conveniently throw out our rubbish at home, wind and runoff carry our waste from landfills and streets to
