1、Unit 1 Art reading课时作业第一节 阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。AAt age 12,Keegan Sobilo of New Baltimore carefully tucks his legs and arms into a fire suit, pulls on a helmet and climbs into a race car that exceeds 80 mph. He has been doing this since age 8.“ At first, I was scared to d

2、eath. I was like, Lets do bowling or swimming. Its still very scary. But he knows what hes doing. Your heart goes out on that track every time he goes out there, said his mother Hillary Sobilo.The sixth-grader always wears pajamas to the track every night and takes them off when he puts his race clo

3、thes on. Hes been doing that for the last four years. Thats his trademark,” said Tim Phillips, his crew chief. The first time he wore his train pajamas to the track, Keegan went from last place to ninth place. He decided they brought luck. Since then, he has won a series of championships.Passion for

4、 cars runs in the family. Keegans father is a design mechanic at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. He knows what it means to have seats and roll cages built to fit his sons body.What I see in Keegan is passion, like how I feel about car restoration. But for him, everything has to align itself. I tell my so

5、n you have to be the perfect package. Winning races every weekend is not the only key. More importantly, you have to have the right name, you have to look the correct way, speak the correct way, and act the correct way. Then the rest of it is really luck, like the stock market. If you dont put yours

18、volunteer hoursCWe are fortunate to live in a city that encourages bicycling as a means of transportation. Our local government has promoted bicycling by improving bike lanes and increasing the number of them. The growing number of cyclists, however, brings this question to mind: should bicyclists b

19、e required to share the responsibilities of the road? Automobile drivers have to take competency tests, follow established regulations, and accept punishment for breaking rules. The city requests drivers to register and license their vehicles to ensure accountability (责任）。 Bicyclists who use public

20、roadways should be held accountable, too.Lets look at what sharing the road means. For one thing, it should involve cost sharing. Auto registration and license fees are used, in part, for building and maintaining roadways. It seems only reasonable to ask bicyclists to contribute to transportation fu

21、nding as well.More importantly, sharing the road includes accountability. When drivers ignore the rules of the road, the police and other motorists have the opportunity to identify them by their license plate number and report their offenses (违法行为）。 This isnt true for bicyclists. Ive seen bicyclists

22、 moving quicklybetween lanes.Because they show no identification, they feel protected by anonymity(匿名）。What good would it do to report to the police “I saw a guy on a red bike blow through the stoplight? The simple act of making bicyclists identifiable would encourage safer, more responsible riding.

23、Of course, Ive heard arguments against asking cyclists to register and license their bikes. Some people might say, “Little kids ride bikes. Would you require a six-year-old rider to take a test and pay a fee? Obviously, the city could determine an age when cycling would be considered a means of tran

24、sportation on public roads. Other people argue that bicycle fees are unfair because bikes dont damage the roadways as cars do. Bicycle registration fees could be comparatively modest, and the method for displaying a license number could be simple.Many U.S. cities and towns now implement bike registr

25、ation and licensing. A statute(法规）from one. California town states that the laws regulating bicycles have a dual purpose, antitheft and safety. Im eager to see more bicyclists on the road, and Im hoping for riders who take their responsibilities seriously.8. To advocate responsible cycling, the auth

26、or suggestsA. increasing the number of bike lanesB. giving competency tests to all cyclistsC. identifying cyclists through registrationD. reporting cycling offenses more frequently9. What is the authors purpose in writing Paragraph 4?A. To explain how bicycle registration and licensing work.B. To pr

27、ovide solutions to reduce irresponsible cycling of kids.C. To respond to peoples doubts about holding cyclists accountable.D. To argue against requiring cyclists to register and license their bicycles.10. What argumentative methods are used in this article? Using examples Quoting professionals Compa

Should cyclists register and license their bikes?C. What does sharing the road mean to cyclists?D. How can road safety be

29、 guaranteed for cyclists?DAlzheimers AIAn estimated 5.7 million people in the U.S. have Alzheimers disease-the most common type of dementia(痴呆）and that number is expected to more than double by 2050. Early diagnosis is crucial for patients to benefit from the few therapies available. But no scans ca

30、n deliver a conclusive diagnosis while a person is alive; instead doctors have to conduct numerous and complicated clinical and neuropsychological tests. So there is growing interest in developing artificial intelligence to identify Alzheimers based on brain imaging.Researchers at the University of

31、California, San Francisco, have now successfully trained an AIalgorithm(算法） to recognize one of the early signs of Alzheimers-a reduction in the brains glucose（葡萄糖） consumption-in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.The algorithm accurately predicted an eventual Alzheimers diagnosis in nearly

32、 all the test cases, according to the study. In PET imaging, a very small amount of a radioactive compound are injected into the body, producing three-dimensional images of metabolism(新陈代谢）。circulation and other cellular activities. PET is well suited for an AI diagnostic tool because Alzheimers lea

33、ds to subtle changes in the brains metabolism that begin years before neural(神经的） tissue starts to go downhill, says study co-author Jae Ho Sohn, a radiologist at UCSF. These changes are very hard for radiologists to pickup, he notes.The algorithm was trained and tested on 2,100 PET brain images fro

34、m about 1,000 people 55years and older. The images came from a 12-year study that tracked people who would ultimately be diagnosed with Alzheimers, as well as those with mild memory declines and healthy control participants. The algorithm was trained on 90 percent of the data and tested on the remai

35、ning 10percent. It was then retested on a second, independent data set from 40 patients monitored for 10 years. The algorithm was highly sensitive and was able to recognize 81 percent of the patients in the first test group and 100 percent in the second who would be diagnosed with Alzheimers six yea

36、rs later, on average. The findings were published in February in Radiology.The algorithm is based on deep learning ,a machine-learning technique that uses artificial neural networks programmed to learn from examples. This is one of the first promising, preliminary(初步的）applications of deep learning t

37、o the diagnosis of Alzheimers, says Christian Salvatore, a physicist at Italys National Research Council, who was not involved in the study. “The model performs very well when identifying patients with mild or late diagnoses, he says, “but catching it in the earliest stages remains one of the most c

38、ritical open issues in this field.12.People are increasingly interested in using AI to identify Alzheimers because_A. the number of people suffering from dementia is more than doublingB. diagnostic methods that are both reliable and convenient are in needC. there are only a limited number of effecti

39、ve therapies for the patientsD. diagnosing Alzheimers disease through AI is still an unexplored area13. What can we learn about PET imaging?A. It recognizes the worsening of the neural tissue.B. It reduces the glucose consumption in the brain.C. It changes the pattern of the brains metabolism.D. It

40、photographs various kinds of cellular activities.14. According to Paragraph 4,_.A. 90% of the people in the study were trained on the algorithmB. the participants in the study consist of people both young and oldC. 81% of the people in the first test group were diagnosed with AlzheimersD. the algori

41、thm managed to recognize all the patients in the second test group15. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5?A. The algorithm serves as a promising treatment of Alzheimers.B. Deep learning has been widely applied in diagnosing Alzheimers.C. To detect Alzheimers in its earliest stages calls for more exploration.D. Whether to use the model to detect Alzheimers remains a critical issue.参考答案1. B 2. C 3. A4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A 8. C 9. C 10. D 11.B 12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C
