7、BVacation in the U. S. usually means slower days, and no schooL Teachers know, however, that vacation means students will likely fall behind, and forget things they learned during the year. Simon Vanderpool, a special education teacher in Lexington, Kentucky, decided to do something about it.He star

8、ted a program called Books and Barbers. Children go to the barber, choose a book and read out loud while the barber cuts their hair. The child gets a sticker and can take the book home. And there is an added bonus： money. The kids get paid to read.Vanderpool says barber shops are places where kids c

9、an feel comfortable. “Once a student feels comfortable, thats whenever the brain opens up, and that they are able to start focusing on nothing but learning. ” Amir Shalash owns a barber shop But he is doing more than cutting childrens hair. He is listening to them read, and helping them with their r

10、eading.Most of the children getting haircuts at barber shops are boysVanderpools idea was to do more than just help them with reading and money. The teacher wants to help kids who are growing up in a home without a father liike he did. Also, I created the program in order to provide a positive mento

11、r（指导者）for the kids that go into the barber shop, and are able to have someone that they can rely on and they can trust in, and just build a bond between the two of them. ” Shalash says he and his fellow barbers like being mentors. “The biggest thing is that we try to influence as many kids as we can

12、, and that was my whole intention of it. ”24.Why did Simon Vanderpool start Books and Barbers ?A.To help children kill time.B.To bring children a fruitful vacation；C.To reduce teachers，pressure from work.D.To improve childrens communication skills.25.What makes a barber shop suitable for Books and B

13、arbers program?A.Its collection of books.B.Its quiet atmosphere.C.Its relaxing environment.D.Its friendly barbers.26.What is Amir Shalashs purpose of taking part in the program?A. To offer valuable guidance to children.B.To show the importance of bonding. C.To tell the necessity of trusting people.D

14、.To influence his fellow barbers positively.27.What is the best title for the text?A.What It Takes to Be a Good BarberB.What to Expect During the VacationC.How Important Reading Is to ChildrenD.How a Haircut Is Helping Students Read CWhales, like all mammals（哺乳动物）,need air, and come to the surface t

15、o breathethrough a blowhole. A drone（无人机）that floats over the blowholes of humpback whalesas they are making annual journey along Australias east coast is being used by Australian scientists for collecting nasal mucus（鼻腔粘液）of whales.Vanessa Pirotta, a biologist at Macquarie University says that nasa

16、l mucus indicates the health of the whale. “It is the biological mixture that you see as a whale takes a breath as it surfaces from the water，” she said. You can hear sounds of sharp breaths as a whale breathes because, after all, they are animals like you and I. So as they take a breath it is a lot

17、 of lung bacteria coming out from their lungs, which we can collect to provide a brief idea of whale health.Australian researchers have attached a special dish that is used in scientific tests to a drone which flies through the whales nasal mist. As a whale comes to take a breathyou can actually see

18、 it coming to the surface on really good weather days the drone then lowers, the dish is then opened, collecting nasal mucus for later research.The research could help to solve one of the secrets of another impressive creature of the deep the Southern right whale. Its numbers have recovered on Austr

19、alias west coast since hunting became suppressed but its population on the eastern seaboard remains stubbornly low.In the past, studies into whale health had to rely on examining whales that were either killed or those whales that had been trapped on a beach. Drones allow scientists to collect nasal

20、 mucus from free-swimming whales to gather information in a safe way.28. What is the drone mainly used to do?A. To gather information for researchers.B.To record new species of whales.C. To guarantee the safety of whales.D. To take photos of whales annual journey.29. How can a biologist find out a w

21、hales health condition in the study?A.By examining liquids from its breath.B.By checking its lungs on a machine.C.By listening to the sounds of its breath.D. By studying its similarity with humans.30. What does the underlined word “suppressed” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Commercial. B. Rewarding. C. Hidd

22、en. D. Forbidden.31. Why is the Southern right whale mentioned?A. To describe the difficulty to track it.B. To show the increasing population.C.To stress the urgency of doing the research.D.To indicate the potential application of the research.DGoogle previously announced successful tests of machine

23、 learning systems designed to assist doctors. In one case, Google reported AI had examined eye diseases with equal accuracy to doctors. Other tests showed that machine learning can be used to study large amounts of patient data to predict future medical events.Now the company has published two new s

24、tudies showing a high level of success in identifying metastatic breast cancer. Metastatic means that cancer has spread from its main area to other parts of the body. Metastatic breast cancer is one of the deadliest, causing about 90 percent of all breast cancer deaths worldwide. In metastatic breas

25、t cancer patients, the cancer often travels to nearby lymph nodes（淋巴结）.Usually doctors examine lymph node tissue under a microscope to see whether cancer is presentGoogle notes that previous studies have shown that up to one-fourth of metastatic lymph node classifications end up being changed after

26、a second examination. In addition , studies show that small metastatic material can be missed up to 67 percent of the time when examinations happen under extreme time restrictions.Google says it created a mathematical algorithm（算法）.The algorithm, called Lymph Node Assistant, is trained to find chara

27、cteristics of tissue affected by metastatic cancer. When the system examined tissue images （图像），it was able to differentiate between metastatic cancer and non-cancer 99 percent of the time. In addition, the Lymph NodeAssistant is highly effective at finding the positions of the cancers. Some of thes

28、e positions would be too small for doctors themselves to identify. The research also showed that the algorithm method can reduce the usual time needed to examine the disease by about 50 percent .But Google makes clear the Al-based system is not meant to replace the work of medical professionals. Ins

29、tead , it is designed to reduce the number of false identifications and help doctors work faster and more effectively.32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. Google became a pioneer in training doctors.B. Machine learning is able to stop future medical events.C. Google developed artificial intel

30、ligence to help doctors. D. Artificial intelligence cured eye diseases with equal accuracy to doctors.33.What can we infer about metastatic breast cancer?A. One-fourth of the metastatic breast cancer patients die in the end.B. Metastatic breast cancer is very difficult to identify.C. It results in 9

31、0 percent of deaths of all cancers.D. It can be identified after a second examination.34. What is the advantage of Googles new mathematical algorithm?A. It can offer effective treatment.B. It can tell the exact positions of cancersC. It costs 99 percent less time than before.D. It improves the accuracy of identifying cancers by 50%.35 What influence will the mathematical algorithm bring?A. False identification of cancers will be avoided.B. More effective prevention of cancers will be found.C. The number of medical professional
