.I travel on a regular basis, although I spend most days working to make a living just like you do. So whenever a chance arises for me to visit a far-off country, I jump at it. When I was studying abroad in Australia, I traveled extensively (广泛地) all over the country with two friends. We booked everything from whale watching to a private flight over Mount Kosciuszko, and racked up (累积) some impressive credit card bills. Another international student almost looked down her nose at our pricey adventures, declaring that she had come to Australia to study, not to empty her saving account on travel.
My question to her came. Why would you come literally halfway around the world to save your money and keep your nose pressed into a book every weekend Would you go to China and not visit the Great Wall because it costs money Would you go to Italy and skip visiting the Vatican because it requires an admission ticket
I know where I would like my life to go in the coming months and years. But there are no guarantees that things will go as planned. In fact, nothing will go as planned.
“Oh, I’ll travel when 1 retire.” “I’ll travel when the kids are grown.” “I’ll travel when the house is paid off.” How often do we hear others say these I hear these excuses all the time. But you know what happens Age. And stress. And, well, life. Life happens and by the time you retire and your kids are grown and your house is paid off, you have bad knees and weak lungs and you simply can’t visit all those places you dreamed about in your youth. How sad! I don’t want to end up like that, holding on to youthful travel dreams that will never be reality.
I often think, what if “sometimes later” never came So, if you are privileged enough to be able to afford to travel, then you should attack it with curiosity and energy and a sense of adventure. As for me, at the end of the day, I’d rather die with a million memories than a million dollars. Money won’t comfort me on my deathbed, but knowing that I’ve lived a full and fulfilling life might.

27. What is the writing purpose of the text

C. To illustrate the benefits of travel. D. To make a comparison between life and travel.
C
Self-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes on this technology, a new study concludes.
To understand the challenge, imagine a car that suddenly meets some pedestrians in the road. Even with braking, it’s too late to avoid a crash. So the car’s artificial intelligence must decide whether to swerve (急转弯). To save the pedestrians, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into oncoming traffic What if such options would likely kill the car’s passengers
Researchers used online surveys to study people’s attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed that driverless cars should be designed to protect the most people. That included swerving into walls (or otherwise sacrificing their passengers) to save a larger number of pedestrians. But there is a dilemma (困境). Those same surveyed people want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs—even if the pedestrians would now end up dying. Jean Bonnefon is a psychologist at the Toulouse School of Economics in France. He and his colleagues reported their findings in Science.
“Autonomous cars can completely change transportation”, says study coauthor Iyad Rahwan. But, he adds, this new technology creates a moral dilemma that could slow its acceptance.
“Makers of driverless cars are in a tough spot,” Bonnefon’s group warns. Most buyers would want their car to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However, regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers. If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost.
“Compromises (折中) might be possible,” Kurt Gray says. He is a psychologist at the University of North Carolina. He thinks that even if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decrease. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they “won’t speed, won’t drive drunk and won’t text while driving, which would be a win for society.”
28.The underlined word “challenge” in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. people’s negative attitudes towards self-driving cars.
B. how self-driving cars reduce traffic accidents.
C. the technical problems that self-driving cars have.
D. how self-driving cars handle emergencies.
29.According to the text, online surveys show that _________.
A. self-driving cars’ artificial intelligence needs improvement.
B. the busy traffic may be a problem for self-driving cars.
C. people are in a moral dilemma about driverless cars.
D. self-driving cars should be designed to protect drivers.
30.What can we learn from the fifth paragraph
A. Regulations are in favour of drivers.
B. Most people dislike self-driving cars now.
C. Self-driving car makers are in a difficult situation.
D. The potential benefits of driverless cars are ignored.
31.What is Kurt Gray’s attitude toward self-driving cars
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Disapproving.
D
For all the technological wonders of modern 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-intelligence ( 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 data 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 modern medicine. If it gives a “ gift of time” to doctors, they argue that this bonus should 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 societies 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 surely 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 surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug”. There's 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 stethoscope ( 听诊器) ,placed gently on a patient's back, may become a relic of the past.
32.What's Dr Topol's attitude toward AI's coming into medicine
A.Concerned. B.Doubtful. C.Optimistic. D.Cautious.
33.What does the author of the text attach more importance to
A.Medical costs. B.National wealth. C.Longer consultation. D.Greater efficiency.
34.Why is the Hippocratic Oath mentioned
A.To prove the bright future of AI.
B.To show the advantage of a human doctor.
C.To explain medical equipment is more important.
D.To argue a human doctor performs as well as a robot.
35.What may be the best title for the text
A.Health care and AI B.AI and its applications
C.Zoctors and Patients D.Dr Topol and digital medicine

.I travel on a regular basis, although I spend most days working to make a living just like you do. So whenever a chance arises for me to visit a far-off country, I jump at it. When I was studying abroad in Australia, I traveled extensively (广泛地) all over the country with two friends. We booked everything from whale watching to a private flight over Mount Kosciuszko, and racked up (累积) some impressive credit card bills. Another international student almost looked down her nose at our pricey adventures, declaring that she had come to Australia to study, not to empty her saving account on travel.
My question to her came. Why would you come literally halfway around the world to save your money and keep your nose pressed into a book every weekend Would you go to China and not visit the Great Wall because it costs money Would you go to Italy and skip visiting the Vatican because it requires an admission ticket
I know where I would like my life to go in the coming months and years. But there are no guarantees that things will go as planned. In fact, nothing will go as planned.
“Oh, I’ll travel when 1 retire.” “I’ll travel when the kids are grown.” “I’ll travel when the house is paid off.” How often do we hear others say these I hear these excuses all the time. But you know what happens Age. And stress. And, well, life. Life happens and by the time you retire and your kids are grown and your house is paid off, you have bad knees and weak lungs and you simply can’t visit all those places you dreamed about in your youth. How sad! I don’t want to end up like that, holding on to youthful travel dreams that will never be reality.
I often think, what if “sometimes later” never came So, if you are privileged enough to be able to afford to travel, then you should attack it with curiosity and energy and a sense of adventure. As for me, at the end of the day, I’d rather die with a million memories than a million dollars. Money won’t comfort me on my deathbed, but knowing that I’ve lived a full and fulfilling life might.

Self-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes on this technology, a new study concludes.
To understand the challenge, imagine a car that suddenly meets some pedestrians in the road. Even with braking, it’s too late to avoid a crash. So the car’s artificial intelligence must decide whether to swerve (急转弯). To save the pedestrians, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into oncoming traffic What if such options would likely kill the car’s passengers
Researchers used online surveys to study people’s attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed that driverless cars should be designed to protect the most people. That included swerving into walls (or otherwise sacrificing their passengers) to save a larger number of pedestrians. But there is a dilemma (困境). Those same surveyed people want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs—even if the pedestrians would now end up dying. Jean Bonnefon is a psychologist at the Toulouse School of Economics in France. He and his colleagues reported their findings in Science.
“Autonomous cars can completely change transportation”, says study coauthor Iyad Rahwan. But, he adds, this new technology creates a moral dilemma that could slow its acceptance.
“Makers of driverless cars are in a tough spot,” Bonnefon’s group warns. Most buyers would want their car to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However, regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers. If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost.
“Compromises (折中) might be possible,” Kurt Gray says. He is a psychologist at the University of North Carolina. He thinks that even if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decrease. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they “won’t speed, won’t drive drunk and won’t text while driving, which would be a win for society.”
28.The underlined word “challenge” in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. people’s negative attitudes towards self-driving cars.
B. how self-driving cars reduce traffic accidents.
C. the technical problems that self-driving cars have.
D. how self-driving cars handle emergencies.
29.According to the text, online surveys show that _________.
A. self-driving cars’ artificial intelligence needs improvement.
B. the busy traffic may be a problem for self-driving cars.
C. people are in a moral dilemma about driverless cars.
D. self-driving cars should be designed to protect drivers.
30.What can we learn from the fifth paragraph
A. Regulations are in favour of drivers.
B. Most people dislike self-driving cars now.
C. Self-driving car makers are in a difficult situation.
D. The potential benefits of driverless cars are ignored.
31.What is Kurt Gray’s attitude toward self-driving cars
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Disapproving.
D
For all the technological wonders of modern 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-intelligence ( 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 data 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 modern medicine. If it gives a “ gift of time” to doctors, they argue that this bonus should 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 societies 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 surely 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 surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug”. There's 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 stethoscope ( 听诊器) ,placed gently on a patient's back, may become a relic of the past.
32.What's Dr Topol's attitude toward AI's coming into medicine
A.Concerned. B.Doubtful. C.Optimistic. D.Cautious.
33.What does the author of the text attach more importance to
A.Medical costs. B.National wealth. C.Longer consultation. D.Greater efficiency.
34.Why is the Hippocratic Oath mentioned
A.To prove the bright future of AI.
B.To show the advantage of a human doctor.
C.To explain medical equipment is more important.
D.To argue a human doctor performs as well as a robot.
35.What may be the best title for the text
A.Health care and AI B.AI and its applications
C.Zoctors and Patients D.Dr Topol and digital medicine
