四、阅读理解
A drug designed entirely by artificial intelligence is about to enter clinical trials for the first time. The drug,which is intended to treat obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) (强迫症) ,was discovered using AI systems from Oxford based biotech company Exscientia. While it would usually take around four and a half years to get a drug to this stage of development,Exscientia says that by using the AI tools it's taken less than 12 months.
The drug,known as DSP 1181,was created by using algorithms (算法) to examine potential compounds,checking them against a huge database of parameters,including a patient's genetic factors. Speaking to the BBC,Exscientia chief executive Professor Andrew Hopkins described the trials as a “key milestone in drug discovery”and noted that there are “billions” of decisions needed to find the right molecules (分子) for a drug,making their eventual creation a “huge decision”. With AI,however, “the beauty of the algorithms is that they are unknowable,so can be applied to any disease”.
We've already seen multiple examples of AI being used to diagnose illness and analyze patient data,so using it to engineer drug treatment is an obvious progression of its place in medicine.But the AI created drugs do bring about some relevant questions.Will patients be comfortable to take medicine designed by a machine How will these drugs differ from those developed by humans alone Who will make the rules for the use of AI in drug research Hopkins and his team hope that these and a great many other questions will be explored in the trials,which will begin in March.
1.What is special about the drug designed by AI
A.It's a better cure for OCD.
B.It has no side effect on humans.
C.Its development takes less time.
D.It doesn't need clinical trials.
2.Which is a key factor in creating the drug according to Paragraph 2
A.Trials. B.Algorithms.
C.Compounds. D.Molecules.
3.How does Hopkins feel about the way of drug creation
A.Optimistic. B.Doubtful.
C.Disappointed. D.Puzzled.
4.What can be the best title for the text
A.Medical Trials by AI
B.An Example in Medical Trials
C.A Creation in AI Development
D.AI designed Drugs to Be on Trial

四、阅读理解
1.C 考查细节理解。根据第一段尾句可知,虽然通常需要大约4年半的时间才能将药物研发到这个阶段,但使用人工智能工具只需要不到12个月的时间。据此可知,通过人工智能研发药物花的时间短,故C项正确。
2.B 考查推理判断。根据第二段第一句可知,这种名为DSP 1181的药物是通过使用算法来检测潜在的化合物,并将它们与庞大的参数数据库进行比对而创造的;又结合该段最后一句可推知,算法是人工智能研发药物的关键,故B项正确。
3.A 考查观点态度。根据第二段中的“Exscientia chief executive Professor Andrew Hopkins described the trials as a‘key milestone in drug discovery’”和“With AI,however,‘the beauty of the algorithms is that they are unknowable,so can be applied to any disease’.”可知,Hopkins认为人工智能研发的药物进入临床试验是药物研发中的重要里程碑;有了人工智能,这些算法的美妙之处在于它们是不可知的,因此可以应用于任何疾病。据此可推知,Hopkins对这种制药方法持乐观的态度,故A项正确。
4.D 考查标题判断。通读全文可知,首段第一句“A drug designed entirely by artificial intelligence is about to enter clinical trials for the first time.”为全文的主旨句,结合下文内容可知,本文主要介绍了一种完全由人工智能研发的药物即将首次进入临床试验的相关情况,故D项最适合作本文标题。
