11、on for travelers looking to find almost everything in one central spot. Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular town with cobblestone (鹅卵石) streets for wandering leisurely.

16、 pigeon-like. It has a bright red tail, intelligent orange eyes, and a stunning scalloped (扇形的) pattern to its feathers.

17、g and puzzle toys.

But a new smartphone app takes advantage of parents fondness for taking pictures of their children to look for signs that a child might be developing an eye disease.The a

23、pp is the result of a fathers five-year quest to find a way to catch the earliest signs of eye diseases, and prevent loss of vision. Five years ago, doctors diagnosed (诊断) Noah Shaws retinoblastoma - a rare type of eye cancer - when he was 4 months old. To make the diagnosis, the doctors shined a li

24、ght into Noahs eye, and got a pale reflection from the back of the eyeball, an indication that there was something wrong there. Noahs father Bryan, a scientist, wondered if he could see that same pale reflection in pictures of his baby son.Sure enough, he saw the reflection, which doctors callwhite

25、eye, in a picture taken right after Noah was born.Then Bryan decided to create an app that could scan photos for signs of this reflection. Now, that app exists, called CRADLE. To test the app, Bryan and his colleagues analyzed more than 50,000 pictures taken of 40 children. Half had no eye disease a

26、nd half had. On average, the app detected white eye in pictures collected 1.3 years before diagnosis, says Bryan.The app isnt perfect. It sometimes misses white eye when its there, and sometimes says its there when its not. That latter condition is a problem. Even though the so-called false positive

27、 occurs less than 1% of the time, thats not good enough. There are about 4 million children born in the U.S.each year. A 1% false positive rate would mean tens of thousands of children showing up at the doctor unnecessarily.Still, Bryan is upbeat about the promise of the app. This is exciting new te

28、chnology, and this is how I think were going to go about screening for a number of diseases in the future,” he says.28. What inspired Bryan to create CRADLE?A. His sons diagnosis. B. His family photos.C. His hobby of taking pictures. D. His working experience as a scientist.29. What do we know about

30、 affect the future of the app.C. It may raise serious doubts about doctors.D. It may cause a waste of medical resources.31. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word upbeat in the last paragraph?A. Curious. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Worried.DIn a classic episode (片段) of The Si

31、mpions, Homers class reunion ends in shame when one of Homers guilty secrets is exposed: he never graduated from high school. To get this diploma, he must pass a science test. As he sits down to retake the exam, he holds one of his trademark dialogues with his brain. All right, brain. You dont like

32、me and I dont like you. But lets just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.Many a true word is spoken as a joke. Homer Simpsons Everyman character really is an Everyman. For most people, engaging in the kind of effortful thinking that is required to pass a science test feels too much

33、like hard work. It is so much easier to quit and let the brains autopilot talker over.And no wonder. Evolution has blessed the human brain with all kinds of mental shortcuts that make life manageable. If we had to think about every action or weigh up every decision, we would break down. As a result,

34、 certain ideas and modes of thinking come naturally to us, such as effortless thinking.But at huge cost. Our mental shortcuts work fine at the level of individuals and small scale societies, but in an increasingly interconnected and globalized world, they are a danger to society. Effortless thinking

35、 is at the root of many of the modern worlds most serious problem: terrorism, hatred, inequality and elisious exremism. All are caused by people disengaging (摆脱) their critical thinking and going with their gut (非理性的) feeling.Everybody is capable of gut feeling, but also of the critical thinking. Bo

36、th thinking styles are needed to make the world go round. Unfortunately, the latter requires training that is unavailable or unappealing to many people.One of the bright spots in 2020 was the start of a movement called the March For Science. Those who believe in the power of science need to keep on

37、marching, or give more power to people who dont much like their own brains or other peoples.32. What does the author want to convey through Homers story?A. Feeling is very important.B. Drinking beer is harmful to ones brain.C. High school seniors should work hard.D. Most people hate effortful thinki

38、ng like Homer.33. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. Our mental shortcuts function well.B. Effortless thinking is expensive for people.C. Effortless thinking is dangerous to society.D. People prefer effortless thinking to critical thinking34. What does the author think of critical thinking

39、?A. It makes the world go round.B. It needs necessary training.C. It works fine at the level of personal affairs.D. It leads to the March For Science in 2020.35. What is the best title for the text?A. We Need to March Towards Science.B. Thinking Contributes to Social Problems.C. Effortless Thinking
