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.
24．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.
25．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.
26．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.
27．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
With fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word “rubbish” could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.
The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.
Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will pass through sharp metal bars (金属条) which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁), which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.
The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps (垃圾场), some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.
28．What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in Paragraph 3
A．Sharpening metal bars.
B．Sorting out small pieces of metal.
C．Breaking up whatever is breakable.
D．Separating light elements from the heavy ones.
29．Why will big cities have to build their own recycling plants
A．To protect the environment. B．To reduce transportation expense.
C．To get raw materials locally. D．To get big profits from those plants.
30．What can we know from the passage
A．Dangerous wastes can’t be recycled.
B．Recycling plant only recycle metal and paper.
C．Rubbish will be dealt with in a better way later.
D．The first full-scale giant recycling plants will begin operation in less than 15 years.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Scientific Ways to Get Energy B．The Location of Recycling Plants
C．Some Methods to Protect the Environment D．New Ways of Recycling Wastes
In September 2022, Artemis Technologies company presented a new type of water ferry(渡船). The Artemis E-24 is the world’s first high-speed, electric, zero-emissions ferry. Currently, the only way to get from Belfast, Northern Ireland to Bangor, Wales without gelling on a plane, is to take a bus or train to Dublin. Ireland and to get on a ferry there. However, that could all change with Artemis E-24 to be applied literally.
The first Artemis E-24 is expected to set sail on a route between Belfast and Bangor as early as 2024. But actually the road to its creation began nearly 20 years ago, in 2005, when Olympic medalist, Dr. Iain Percy, joined the Artemis Racing sailing team. The Artemis ferry used the same hydrofoil(水翼船)technology that the Artemis Racing America’s Cup racing yachts did. It is this technology that can lift the boat out of the water as it picks up speed, much like an airplane’s wings, that make it seem as if it is flying.
Beyond the coolness factor, the reasons why Artemis E-24 uses the hydrofoil technology are practical. Raising the boat above the water, and reducing drug leads to up to a 85 percent reduction in fuel costs. Likewise, the reduced drag also minimizes the impact that running the ship has on shorelines. Reduced drag means lower waves.
The environmental benefit of a transportation technology is obvious to all. However, it also has practical benefits. As Dr. Percy told The Irish World, “this ferry will not only be the cheapest, but also the fastest way in water-based cities. It will get commuters(通勤者)to where they are going in 25 minutes. In addition, this new initiative will also bring more than 1, 000 new jobs into the Belfast area over the next few years. ”
The Artemis Ferry is a proof to the fact that new and creative technologies can make huge impacts, not only for the world and the environment, but for the local economics that produce them.
32．Why is the route from Belfast to Bangor mentioned in paragraph 1
A．To analyse the new ferry.
B．To make a list of evidence.
C．To come up with an idea.
D．To add the background of the topic.
33．What does the paragraph 2 mainly show
A．The shape of the Artemis E-24
B．The origin of the new invention.
C．The experiences of an Olympic medalist.
D．The effect of the hydrofoil technology.
34．How can we describe the Artemis E-24
A．It is light and energy-efficient.
B．It is cheap and fully automatic.
C．It is high-speed and cost-effective.
D．It is oil-burning and multifunctional.
35．Whal is the best title of the text
A．New Flying Ferry Could Revolutionize Water Travel
B．New Technology Balances Economy and Environment
C．The Artemis Ferry with Airplane’s Wings Will Set Sail
D．Hydrofoil Technology Leads to Reduction in Fuel Costs

Different sports filled my days in my youth. I dreamed or a big win some day, with a big trophy (奖杯). I was skillful and fast, or so I thought. However, I soon learned my skills seemed quite weak because the bigger, stronger boys seemed to occupy every corner of the playground. Once I was in the 100-yard hurdles, the only recognition I received for my performance was two bloody knees.
In college, I took a swim competition, dreaming of the glory! It turned out I achieved nothing. As an older adult, I still maintained an active lifestyle. In 2010 I signed up for a stair-climbing challenge to raise money for fighting against lung cancer. My father had died of the same disease, so this was a meaningful cause for me. Then, in 2019,the organization offered an even more challenging climb option: the vertical (垂直的) mile. So I would have three hours to climb up and down twenty-eight floors fifteen times, plus three more.
I trained hard. When the challenge started. I felt confident. But soon my legs started feeling heavy. What was worse, I began experiencing leg cramps (抽筋). My progress slowed dramatically and I quickly fell behind. When came down after finishing lap 14, it was past the time limit, so my big win had escaped once again.
Soon after the climb, I struggled to experience the sense of self-satisfaction. And I had, after all, set a goal for myself to prove what I was made of, what I had inside me. And what I had inside me was, “Nice try, but you didn’t make it.” So, a year later, at age 62 and after numerous workouts, I was back. Like last year, I was well ahead after an hour and I again started feeling some discomfort in my legs. I heard myself cry out loud, “Oh, no not again!” I finally stopped and sat down on the stairs, feeling quite depressed and wondering if my dream was over. A few climbers stopped to offer help. I was touched, but embarrassed to accept. Except for one climber. An angel climber, really.
Jessica, who I happened to know, was a salesman’s friend when I bought new running shoes at his store. And without that connection, she might have climbed past me as I sat on those steps, my legs shaking. But all those things did happen, and Jessica stopped to help.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When she saw I was cramping, she offered me some sports drinks containing electrolytes (电解质).

5．A
【原文】M: Which suit do you like best
W: Well, to be honest, the brown one and the white one are not good choices, in my opinion. You are going to a job interview, not a dance party. You should go with something classic, like black or dark blue.
6．A 7．C
【原文】M: We need to decide exactly when we’re going to move. Any suggestions
W: I think July would be the best time. Our sales are always down that month. We could move all the office equipment at a weekend, do everything at once.
M: I think a weekend is too short. Maybe we should do it department by department.
W: What do you mean
M: Well, each week, a different department would move. That way, there would always be people here to handle customer inquiries, phone calls, and so on.
W: Emm, that’s a good idea.

M: Yeah, but it’s easy for me to hide behind my music desk at work. I’m not very good at making conversations in public.
W: What are you most nervous about
M: Well, I gave up studying to become a DJ, and I don’t think Sarah’s parents will be satisfied with that. Also, I changed my hair style last week, and they’ll probably be shocked by that.
W: How are you going to try and make a good impression
M: Well, I’m going to wear smart clothes. And I’ll take her mom some flowers.
10．B 11．A

It was the first time for both of us to travel by air. We sat near the window of the plane and enjoyed an unusual and beautiful view of the world. We went there because the cost was lower. We stayed at a hotel on the beach. We slept late every morning and then had breakfast outdoors near the pool. When the weather was not too hot, we went sightseeing in the morning. In the afternoon, we would go swimming in the ocean, lie in the sun, or go water-skiing. After dinner in the evening, we usually went dancing or enjoyed ourselves in the nightclubs. The two weeks went by (流逝) too quickly. We were both very sorry when we had to leave.
16．B 17．C
【原文】M: How was the activity holiday

M: Did you get one
W: Yeah. I was surprised to get one. Climbing was awful — I couldn’t reach the top of the wall.
My team was the best at the walking, though. We were left in a place and had to find our way back. We were first because luckily I could read the map.
M: That’s great! What about the sailing Did you have a good time going sailing
W: Yeah. I really enjoyed the sailing, even though I wasn’t very good at it.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Dr. Gidi Stein从一次医疗事故中受到启发，从而研发出了一种技术来帮助医生检查是否开错了药，来确保病人正确的用药。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中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.可知几年前，一个医生给一个9岁的男孩开了一个错误的处方，因为他不小心点击了下拉菜单中列出的下一种药。不幸的是，男孩死了。由此可知，医生的粗心大意造成了男孩的死亡。故选A。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段中“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.”可知“这就像杀了一个拼写错误的人。他只是点错了按钮……Stein说。“人们会认为会有某种拼写检查程序来防止这些可怕的事情发生。但显然情况并非如此。”由此可推知Dr. Gidi Stein对男孩的死很遗憾，结合后文Stein开发识别处方错误的软件可知，Stein试图阻止类似的事故发生。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段中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 ’”可知如果你的信用卡明天出现在津巴布韦，这将是不寻常的。信用卡公司会打电话给你，说:“嘿，是你吗 ”结合后文提到了Stein开发出可以识别处方错误的软件，由此可推知，Stein是将信用卡发现使用不寻常的情况与自己的软件发现处方错误相比较，以此来告诉我们这项技术将拯救许多死于医生失误的孩子。故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中In other words, he trained the computers to realize if a doctor accidentally prescribed the wrong medicine.可知换句话说，他训练计算机去识别是否医生不小心开错了药。由此可推知，MedAware公司的技术是检查医生开出的处方的。故选B。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种大型垃圾回收工厂，可以回收垃圾并将垃圾转化为有用的东西，这是一种垃圾回收利用的新途径。
28．细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“First, it will pass through sharp metal bars (金属条) which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed”可知，首先，垃圾会穿过锋利的金属条，这些金属条会撕开通常用来装垃圾的塑料袋。由此可推断出，在第三段所述的回收垃圾的过程后中，第一步是让垃圾穿过锋利的金属条，让金属条撕开装垃圾的塑料袋。“Sharpening metal bars”意为“削尖金属条”，与文中描述不符。故选A项。
29．细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps (垃圾场), some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.”可知，随着将垃圾运到更远的垃圾场的成本越来越高，一些大城市将被迫建立自己的回收工厂。由此可推断出，大城市建造自己的垃圾回收工厂是为了减少运输费用。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“The word “rubbish” could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful.”可知，随着大型垃圾回收工厂的建立，“垃圾”这个词可能会失去它的意义，因为所有进入垃圾堆的东西都会变成有用的东西。由此可推断出，随着大型垃圾回收工厂的建立，垃圾会得到更好的处理，它们会被转化成有用的东西。故选C项。
31．主旨大意题。结合文章内容及第一段关键句“The word “rubbish” could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful.”可知，文章主要讲述了随着大型垃圾回收工厂的建立，垃圾将会被回收，并转化为有用的东西，这是一种回收垃圾的新方法。“New Ways of Recycling Wastes”意为“垃圾回收利用的新途径”，能够概括文章主旨。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Artemis Technologies公司推出了一种新型水上轮渡，第一艘Artemis E-24预计最早于2024年在贝尔法斯特和班戈之间的航线上起航。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段中“he Artemis E-24 is the world’s first high-speed, electric, zero-emissions ferry. Currently, the only way to get from Belfast, Northern Ireland to Bangor, Wales without gelling on a plane, is to take a bus or train to Dublin. Ireland and to get on a ferry there. However, that could all change with Artemis E-24 to be applied literally.”（Artemis E-24是世界上第一艘高速、电动、零排放的渡轮。目前，从北爱尔兰的贝尔法斯特到威尔士的班戈而不坐飞机的唯一方法是乘坐公共汽车或火车到爱尔兰的都柏林，然后坐船去那里。然而，随着阿Artemis E-24的实际应用，这一切都可能改变。）可推知，在第一段中提到了从贝尔法斯特到班戈的路线是为了提出一个想法。故选C项。
33．主旨大意题。根据第二段“The first Artemis E-24 is expected to set sail on a route between Belfast and Bangor as early as 2024. But actually the road to its creation began nearly 20 years ago, in 2005, when Olympic medalist, Dr. Iain Percy, joined the Artemis Racing sailing team. The Artemis ferry used the same hydrofoil technology that the Artemis Racing America’s Cup racing yachts did. It is this technology that can lift the boat out of the water as it picks up speed, much like an airplane’s wings, that make it seem as if it is flying.”（第一艘Artemis E-24预计最早于2024年在贝尔法斯特和班戈之间的航线上起航。但实际上，它的创立之路始于近20年前，即2005年，当时奥运奖牌得主伊恩·珀西(Iain Percy)博士加入了Artemis帆船队。Artemis轮渡使用了与Artemis美洲杯帆船赛相同的水翼技术。正是这项技术使船在加速时脱离水面，就像飞机的翅膀一样，让它看起来像在飞行。）可知，第二段主要表明了新发明的起源。故选B项。
34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“As Dr. Percy told The Irish World, this ferry will not only be the cheapest, but also the fastest way in water-based cities. It will get commuters to where they are going in 25 minutes.”（正如珀西博士在接受《爱尔兰世界报》采访时所说，“这艘渡轮不仅是水基城市中最便宜的，也是最快的方式。它可以让通勤者在25分钟内到达他们要去的地方。）可知，Artemis E-24速度快，性价比高。故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“In September 2022, Artemis Technologies company presented a new type of water ferry. The Artemis E-24 is the world’s first high-speed, electric, zero-emissions ferry.”（2022年9月，Artemis Technologies公司推出了一种新型水上轮渡。Artemis E-24是世界上第一艘高速、电动、零排放的渡轮。）以及第二段中“The first Artemis E-24 is expected to set sail on a route between Belfast and Bangor as early as 2024.”（第一艘Artemis E-24预计最早于2024年在贝尔法斯特和班戈之间的航线上起航。）和“The Artemis ferry used the same hydrofoil technology that the Artemis Racing America’s Cup racing yachts did. It is this technology that can lift the boat out of the water as it picks up speed, much like an airplane’s wings, that make it seem as if it is flying.”（Artemis轮渡使用了与Artemis美洲杯帆船赛相同的水翼技术。正是这项技术使船在加速时脱离水面，就像飞机的翅膀一样，让它看起来像在飞行。）可知，文章主要讲的是Artemis Technologies公司推出了一种新型水上轮渡，第一艘Artemis E-24预计最早于2024年在贝尔法斯特和班戈之间的航线上起航。故文章最好的标题是“有飞机翅膀的Artemis渡轮将起航”。故选C项。

Dear Xiao Wang,
I have received your letter, in which you mention that you want to lose weight by dieting.
It is natural for young girls at your age to hope to look beautiful. However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty. As a student, you should put your study in the first place and not let others’ opinions affect your normal life. Keep in mind that it is a person’s inner qualities that really count. However, if you do want to lose weight, you are supposed to use scientific methods. What matters most is that you ought to keep a healthy state of mind and stay confident.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you and I’m looking forward to your next letter.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．When she saw I was cramping, she offered me some sports drinks containing electrolytes. I was touched by her kindness and I accepted her offer. The drinks helped me to rehydrate and recover from the climb. With the support of Jessica and the other climbers, I managed to push through the last few flights of stairs.
The cramps in my legs finally started to go away. I felt a sense of accomplishment that was greater than any win I had achieved before. I realized that it was not about the destination, but about the journey and the challenges that we overcome along the way. Although I did not get the first place at the moment, I still loved the whole process. My dream did not end, but became more motivated to pursue higher goals.
