Robot Surgeon(外科医生) Succeeds without Help from Human Doctors Humans make mistakes. Even surgeons with years of experience are not infallible. But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care, to be carried out by machines?
That’s the idea behind surgical robots, which may soon perform most surgeries, from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures. Many of these operations are, in fact, already completed with the assistance of robots. But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further, performing on soft tissue completely on their own, from start to finish.
The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR), successfully completed surgeries on pigs. “We’re the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery, and when c ompared to standard operation, it’s better,” says Peter Kim, professor of surgery. “The idea is not to replace surgeons; it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer.”
Recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors—including operating on the wrong site or side of the body, or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient—occur every one out of 22,000 procedures. That’s rare, but robots like STAR w ould aim to lower the number even further.
In the da Vinci surgical system, surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar. The robot’s every major move is controll ed by surgeons, and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon’s training or experience.
STAR, on the other hand, is entirely autonomous. It’s not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible “hand”, but it’s able to react to the unexpected incidents. Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing, but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex. STAR reacts to a changing environment, similar to how self-driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway, but also react to another driver making a mistake and getting in your way.
24. The underlined word “infallible” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.
A. always right
B. really creative
C. rather responsible
D. quite smart
25. We can learn from the passage that STAR _____.
A. has been widely used in the operating room
B. can perform the operation on its own
C. can make surgeries much faster
D. will take the place of surgeons
26. In the da Vinci surgical system, _____.
A. robots are trained from afar
B. surgery results depend on surgeons
C. robots always make mistakes
D. surgeons have trouble controlling robots
27. In the last paragraph, the author mentions self-driving cars in order to show _____.
A. how bad getting in another driver’s way might be
B. how difficult self-driving on the highway is
C. how smart an autonomous robot can be
D. how dangerous operating on people is
C
People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus (章鱼) a great delicacy (美味佳肴). You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat—the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.
No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail (蜗牛). Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are looked down upon. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him. The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a walk on some of my prize plants. Acting on a sudden impulse, I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bag, and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner. Snails would, of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. To my surprise, we saw that there were snails everywhere, they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall. I have never been able to look at a snail since then.
28. As indicated in the passage, people love different foods mainly because ______.
A. they live in different places
B. they are illogical about food choices
C. they have different understandings of delicacy
D. they learn to eat certain foods in their families
29. We can infer from the second paragraph that when collecting the snails, the author
______.
A. was glad that he could share them with his friend
B. was angry because they might damage his beloved plants
C. was excited about being able to give his friend a surprise
D. was depressed because it was hard to extinguish them all
30. The author finds that snails ______.
A. are as delicious as octopus
B. are disliked in his hometown
C. are the most controversial food
D. are as popular as fried potatoes
31. The best title of this passage might be “_______”.
A. One Man’s Meat is Another Man’s Poison
B. People Are Illogical in Front of Delicacies
C. Snail and Octopus
D. Foods and Cultures
D
A remarkable variety of insects live on this planet. More species of insects exist than all other animal species together. Insects have survived on earth for more than 300 million years，and may possess the ability to survive for millions more.
Insects can be found almost everywhere—on the highest mountains and on the bottom of rushing streams, in the cold South Pole and in bubbling hot springs. They dig through the ground, jump and sing in the trees, and run and dance in the air. They come in many different colors and various shapes. Insects are extremely useful to humans, pollinating (授粉) our crops as well as flowers in meadows, forests, deserts and other areas. But ticks and some insects, such as mosquitoes and fleas, can transmit disease.
There are many reasons why insects are so successful at surviving. Their amazing ability to adapt permits them to live in extreme ranges of temperatures and environments. The one place they have not yet been found to any major extent is in the open oceans. Insects can survive on a wide range of natural and artificial foods—paint, pepper, glue, books, grain, cotton, other insects, plants and animals. Because they are small, they can hide in tiny spaces.
A strong, hard but flexible shell covers their soft organs and is resistant to chemicals, water and physical impact. Their wings give them the option of flying away from dangerous situations or toward food or mates. Also, insects have an enormous reproductive capacity: An African ant queen can lay as many as 43,000 eggs a day.
Another reason for their success is the strategy of protective color. An insect may be right before our eyes, but nearly invisible because it is cleverly disguised like a green leaf, lump of brown soil, gray lichen (青苔), a seed or some other natural object. Some insects use bright, bold colors to send warning signals that they taste bad, sting or are poisonous. Others have wing patterns that look like the eyes of a huge predator, confusing their enemies. Some insects also imitate bitter-tasting insects; hungry enemies are fooled into avoiding them.
32. The passage mentions that insects ____.
A. can be found in any extreme environment
B. have survived longer than any other creatures
C. can be fed on any natural or man-made foods
D. are important for the growth of crops and flowers
33. Insects protect themselves from chemicals by ______.
A. hiding in tiny spaces
B. flying away when necessary
C. having a strong shell
D. changing colors or shapes
34. Some insects disguise like natural objects so as to ______.
A. avoid being discovered
B. frighten away their enemies
C. send warning signals
D. look bitter-tasting
35. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. how insects survive in different places
B. why insects can survive so successfully
C. what insects can do to the environment
D. where insects can be found in quantity

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。

The sight of Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000. 36 Yet the widespread, intense grief a t the sight of the cathedral’s collapsing top is in fact profoundly human—and in a particularly 21st-century way.
37 People wander the world in search not just of jobs and security but also of beauty and history. Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself. 38 In the 24 hours after the fire started videos on social media of the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter of a billion times.
Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. 39 Its survival through 850 years of political movements—through war, revolution and Nazi occupation—binds the present to the past.
The fire also binds people to each other. The outpouring of emotion it has brought forth is proof that, despite the dark forces of division now abroad, we are all in it together.
40 When politics is polarized, a love of culture has the power to unite. When extremism divides Muslim from Christian and religious people from non-religious, those of all faiths and none are mourning together.
A. Social media have turned great works of art into superstars.
B. It is not just the economy that is global today; it is culture too.
C. The effort to rebuild it, like the fire, will bring people together.
D. That helps explain why people around the world is in mourning.
E. It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people.
F. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective (集体的) best.
G. When nationalism is a rising threat, shared sadness makes borders suddenly irrelevant.

a tablet or mobile phone for entertainment — and is aimed at handling child inactivity,

64 (recommend) on physical activity for children under five, WHO also says babies should not spend 65 (long) than an hour at a time seated into a buggy (童车) or car seat.
The WHO advice is based 66 available evidence, but there is still 67 lack of research into the harms of screen use. 68 , it was unlikely that young children would gain much from passive viewing, insisted one of the guideline authors, Dr Juana Willumsen.

A Possible Version:
Dear Mr Smith,
I was so sorry to hear about your illness and hospitalization. We are relieved, though, to know that you are receiving good care and recovering fast.
You must feel it very difficult to be confined to bed with little to do, so you are sure in need of some company. Many of my classmates have expressed their desire to go to the hospital to see you, but we are told that only one of us can go in case that we may disturb your rest. I am allowed to visit you on behalf of all my classmates and I plan to go this Friday after school. I will call before I go.
Please know that we are thinking of you and wishing you a speedy and complete recovery.
Yours,
Li Hua。
