Although heat wasn’t an issue at first, as it would become later, coming from New York to India would shock any foreign tourists. Quickly, however, I noticed how nice and helpful everyone was to us. The guest house we stayed in was full of people willing to help. The other two volunteers also helped to calm my nerves about being in India so far away from my home. After the first few days I was eager to get to Bal Ashram.
Upon getting to Bal Ashram, I was able to meet the boys, who called Bal Ashram their home. The center itself helps to rescue boys from child labor in various areas of India and give them a jumpstart into education for free where they will then return to their families and continue their education. They are taught that without education there can be no future. Through education, Bal Ashram also builds a sense of community which can be seen with everyone who works and is taught here. Teaching English here to the children gave me great pride in knowing that these children would be helped within their own experiences here at Bal Ashram and their future lives. Each child was always willing to learn more.
Boys there were always seen laughing. Afternoon sports and nightly social events, including dancing, were just one of the many highlights with me and the children. Even my inner life was enriched (充实), let alone theirs. Living in Bal Ashram also gave us a first hand view of village, life in India, as well as the culture and religion that surrounds this country.
My time spent at Bal Ashram was one I will never forget. Through the simplicity and life of the people and the children who are full of innocence (天真) and joy, I have taken with me so much more than when I arrived.
39. Why did the author come to India
A. To learn about Indian culture and religion.
B. To learn about the life in Indian villages.
C. To work as a volunteer English teacher.
D. To rescue Indian boys from hard labor.

A. The unfair treatment by other volunteers.
B. The hot weather.
C. The communication problems.
D. The culture and religion differences
41. The activities at Bal Ashram aim to .
A. encourage boys to get close to strangers
B. develop the boys’ interest in studying
C. offer those boys a family atmosphere
D. enrich the inner life of those boys
C
In US emergency rooms (ER), the average wait time to see a doctor is more than two hours. There are more patients in need than there are doctors, nurses and other staff to help them. Many parents have suffered through hours in the ER with a sick, upset child, only to get sent home because their case is not considered urgent. What if there was another choice—like a house call from an intelligent machine
Now a new study shows that AI systems can assess (评估) a child’s medical chart and come up with a diagnosis (诊断), a determination of what is wrong with that patient.
The study took place at Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center in southern China. First, a team of doctors reviewed 6, 183 medical charts. They summarized the information in these charts into a list of keywords linked to disease-related symptoms or signs, such as “fever”. Researchers then taught these keywords to the AI system. Once trained, the system scanned children’s charts for the key terms, checking if they were present or not in order to come to a conclusion. Finally, it offered diagnoses based on the charts, narrowing down from among 55 illness categories.
Dongxiao Zhu, an assistant professor of computer science at Wayne State University who did not take part in the study, however, sees this as “augmented intelligence (增强智能)” rather than “artificial intelligence”, because the system handled only 55 illness pare that to thousands of possibilities in the real world. The machine cannot yet get into the more complex aspects of a medical decision.
Zhu is also concerned about the amount of human work that went into the study—namely, the time and energy spent by human doctors. They spent hours grading the machine’s assessments and comparing them to their own. It’s no wonder that the process took four years. Considering that, it may be a while before you can skip the ER and see a robot-doctor instead.
42. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. Patients pay too much for the ER.
B. American doctors aren’t responsible.
C. Children are treated urgently in the ER.
D. The emergency rooms are crowded with patients.
43. What does the author mainly intend to show in the text
A. AI systems still have a long way to go.
B. AI systems diagnose disease like doctors.
C. AI systems will take over from doctors someday.
D. AI systems get into complex medical decisions.
44. How does AI system determine a patient’s disease
A. By examining a patient first.
B. By reviewing many medical charts.
C. By scanning keywords about a disease.
D. By observing disease-related symptoms.
45. What does Zhu think of AI doctors
A. They need to be improved a lot.
B. They will replace real doctors soon.
C. They are suitable for complex disease.
D. They help doctors make a quick analysis.

Perhaps it was due to excitement, I had performed well in my given tasks. Everything went smoothly in my work. The passion when I started was still the same passion I am feeling until now. Furthermore, I didn’t forget to do well in my studies. In fact, I still managed to review my notes, to become active in classes and to score high in tests.
I had learned new things as I started working there. Dealing and interacting with people were some of the remarkable learning I had. Moreover, it was also very fulfilling when I had helped my parents diminish their finances in my own ways.
It is not that easy to study while working. There are truly pressures in between them. Sometimes, deadlines of the school project and errands(差事) from the boss go together. Sometimes, there are misunderstandings between colleagues. There are just some sacrifices and challenges of becoming a working student.
Yet, it is my will and I am very happy with it because I am learning and growing. They say, “You can’t serve two masters at a time. ” It is possible, but it is a challenge. I know that I can balance studies and work. Moreover, I know that I can still keep my relationships with my family, friends and loved ones. I know that I can still share my talents despite my busy life. I just enjoy everything because every moment of being a working student is a truly remarkable experience.

Although heat wasn’t an issue at first, as it would become later, coming from New York to India would shock any foreign tourists. Quickly, however, I noticed how nice and helpful everyone was to us. The guest house we stayed in was full of people willing to help. The other two volunteers also helped to calm my nerves about being in India so far away from my home. After the first few days I was eager to get to Bal Ashram.
Upon getting to Bal Ashram, I was able to meet the boys, who called Bal Ashram their home. The center itself helps to rescue boys from child labor in various areas of India and give them a jumpstart into education for free where they will then return to their families and continue their education. They are taught that without education there can be no future. Through education, Bal Ashram also builds a sense of community which can be seen with everyone who works and is taught here. Teaching English here to the children gave me great pride in knowing that these children would be helped within their own experiences here at Bal Ashram and their future lives. Each child was always willing to learn more.
Boys there were always seen laughing. Afternoon sports and nightly social events, including dancing, were just one of the many highlights with me and the children. Even my inner life was enriched (充实), let alone theirs. Living in Bal Ashram also gave us a first hand view of village, life in India, as well as the culture and religion that surrounds this country.
My time spent at Bal Ashram was one I will never forget. Through the simplicity and life of the people and the children who are full of innocence (天真) and joy, I have taken with me so much more than when I arrived.
39. Why did the author come to India
A. To learn about Indian culture and religion.
B. To learn about the life in Indian villages.
C. To work as a volunteer English teacher.
D. To rescue Indian boys from hard labor.
40. What did the author suffer from most while staying in India

B. The hot weather.
C. The communication problems.
D. The culture and religion differences
41. The activities at Bal Ashram aim to .
A. encourage boys to get close to strangers
B. develop the boys’ interest in studying
C. offer those boys a family atmosphere
D. enrich the inner life of those boys
【答案】39. C 40. B 41. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章介绍了作者在印度Bal Ashram支教时度过的难忘时光，通过人们的简单生活，以及充满纯真和欢乐的孩子们，收获了很多。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“Teaching English here to the children gave me great pride in knowing that these children would be helped within their own experiences here at Bal Ashram and their future lives.(在这里给孩子们教英语让我感到非常自豪，因为我知道这些孩子在巴尔道场的亲身经历和他们未来的生活中会得到帮助)”可知，作者是从纽约来到印度的一个志愿者，教孩子学习英语。故选C项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章首句“Although heat wasn’t an issue at first, as it would become later, coming from New York to India would shock any foreign tourists.(虽然一开始暑热并不像后来那样是个问题，但从纽约到印度的旅行会让任何外国游客感到震惊)”可知，作者在印度时，最痛苦的是印度炎热的气候。故选B项。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Boys there were always seen laughing. Afternoon sports and nightly social events, including dancing, were just one of the many highlights with me and the children. Even my inner life was enriched (充实), let alone theirs.(男孩子们总是被看到大笑。下午的运动和晚上的社交活动，包括跳舞，只是我和孩子们的许多亮点之一。就连我的内心生活都得到了丰富，更不用说他们的了)”可知，在Bal Ashram的活动目的在于使这些男孩的内心丰富。故选D项。
C
In US emergency rooms (ER), the average wait time to see a doctor is more than two hours. There are more patients in need than there are doctors, nurses and other staff to help them. Many parents have suffered through hours in the ER with a sick, upset child, only to get sent home because their case is not considered urgent. What if there was another choice—like a house call from an intelligent machine
Now, a new study shows that AI systems can assess (评估) a child’s medical chart and come up with a diagnosis (诊断), a determination of what is wrong with that patient.
The study took place at Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center in southern China. First, a team of doctors reviewed 6, 183 medical charts. They summarized the information in these charts into a list of keywords linked to disease-related symptoms or signs, such as “fever”. Researchers then taught these keywords to the AI system. Once trained, the system scanned children’s charts for the key terms, checking if they were present or not in order to come to a conclusion. Finally, it offered diagnoses based on the charts, narrowing down from among 55 illness categories.
Dongxiao Zhu, an assistant professor of computer science at Wayne State University who did not take part in the study, however, sees this as “augmented intelligence (增强智能)” rather than “artificial intelligence”, because the system handled only 55 illness pare that to thousands of possibilities in the real world. The machine cannot yet get into the more complex aspects of a medical decision.
Zhu is also concerned about the amount of human work that went into the study—namely, the time and energy spent by human doctors. They spent hours grading the machine’s assessments and comparing them to their own. It’s no wonder that the process took four years. Considering that, it may be a while before you can skip the ER and see a robot-doctor instead.
42. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. Patients pay too much for the ER.
B. American doctors aren’t responsible.
C. Children are treated urgently in the ER.
D. The emergency rooms are crowded with patients.
43. What does the author mainly intend to show in the text
A. AI systems still have a long way to go.
B. AI systems diagnose disease like doctors.
C. AI systems will take over from doctors someday.
D. AI systems get into complex medical decisions.
44. How does AI system determine a patient’s disease
A. By examining a patient first.
B. By reviewing many medical charts.
C. By scanning keywords about a disease.
D By observing disease-related symptoms.
45. What does Zhu think of AI doctors
A. They need to be improved a lot.
B. They will replace real doctors soon.
C. They are suitable for complex disease.
D. They help doctors make a quick analysis.
【答案】42. D 43. B 44. C 45. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人工智能在未来能够进入医院，为病人诊断并确认疾病，但还需要很多研究才能赶的上真正的医生。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“There are more patients in need than there are doctors, nurses and other staff to help them. ((需要帮助的病人比医生、护士和其他工作人员要多)”可知，病人比医生、护士和其他工作人员要多，可推知急诊室里挤满了病人。故选D项。
【43题详解】
推理判断。根据第二段“Now, a new study shows that AI systems can assess(评估)a child’s medical chart and come up with a diagnosis(诊断), a determination of what is wrong with that patient. (现在，一项新的研究表明，人工智能系统可以评估儿童的病历，并得出诊断结果，确定患者的问题所在。)”可知，文章主要讲述了一项新的研究表明，人工智能可以用于识别和诊断疾病。因此作者主要想在文章中表达人工智能系统像医生一样诊断疾病。故选B项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Once trained, the system scanned children’s charts for the key terms, checking if they were present or not in order to come to a conclusion. (一旦接受了培训，该系统就会扫描儿童图表中的关键术语，检查他们是否在场，以得出结论。)”可知，人工智能系统通过扫描一种疾病的关键词来判断病人的疾病。故选C项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“however, sees this as “augmented intelligence (增强智能)” rather than “artificial intelligence”, because the system handled only 55 illness pare that to thousands of possibilities in the real world.

Considering that, it may be a while before you can skip the ER and see a robot-doctor instead. (难怪这个过程花了四年时间。考虑到这一点，你可能需要一段时间才能跳过急诊室去看机器人医生。)”可推知，朱教授认为这台机器还不能处理更复杂的医疗决策以及评估时间过长，所以他们需要改进很多。故选A项。

Furthermore, I didn’t forget to do well in my studies. In fact, I still managed to review my notes, to become active in classes and to score high in tests.
I had learned new things as I started working there. Dealing and interacting with people were some of the remarkable learning I had. Moreover, it was also very fulfilling when I had helped my parents diminish their finances in my own ways.
It is not that easy to study while working. There are truly pressures in between them. Sometimes, deadlines of the school project and errands(差事) from the boss go together. Sometimes, there are misunderstandings between colleagues. There are just some sacrifices and challenges of becoming a working student.
Yet, it is my will and I am very happy with it because I am learning and growing. They say, “You can’t serve two masters at a time. ” It is possible, but it is a challenge. I know that I can balance studies and work. Moreover, I know that I can still keep my relationships with my family, friends and loved ones.
