A Leap（跳躍）to Honor

Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.

To perfect her skills, Lola ________ for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls. That’s especially impressive, ________ she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift (轉(zhuǎn)移) constantly. She often sees double and can’t ________ how far away things are.

When she was little, her mom _________ that even though she couldn’t see _________, she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the ______ right away and gymnastics became her favorite.

Though learning gymnastics has been more ______for her than for some of her tournaments(錦標(biāo)賽), she has never quit(放棄). She doesn’t let her ______ stop her from doing anything that she wants to. She likes the determination(決心) it takes to do the sport. Her biggest ______is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to ______your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go,” says Lola.

To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most ______ for anyone because it’s only four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t ______ the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10 — her highest score yet.

Lola doesn’t want to be ______ differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision ________. She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her ______ attitude.

Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into a

physical object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just

by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the

United States.

Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The store

is filled with tools like a laser cutter, an industrial sewing machine and 3D printers. The Jaycoxs offer

3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.

"I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It's going to have a huge effect on society as a whole."

One of the students in a recent class was KiChong Tran. He plans to open a 3D printing business in

Cambodia.

3D printing services are becoming available for American consumers.

The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商 ) that provides shipping, copying and other

services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke

Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.

"The demand has been amazing. It's been much more than I would have imagined." The UPS

Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.

At The UPS Store, the cost of the object depends on the amount of materials used. The store

charges up to $95 an hour to design the object with computer software that creates a digital file to

guide the printer.

Mr. Jaycox predicts that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more popular.

But KiChong Tran says even current technology can make a difference in a developing country like

Cambodia.

"With 3D printing, you can give them tools; you put it in their hands so they are responsible

more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just learning English and becoming a

tour guide or something like that or working at a bank; you can actually create things that give value

to the world."

He says it's not just in Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer that it can turn a good

idea into reality.

1.The purpose of the passage is to _

A. attract consumers to buy 3D printers B. explain the importance of 3D printing

C. introduce a new technique-3D printing D. describe the rapid development of technology

2.The Build Shop LLC is a store .

A. promoting 3D printers B. offering 3D printing classes and services

C. selling sewing machines D. known for tools like laser cutters

3.At the UPS Store, the price of a 3D object depends on

A. the person who makes it B. the materials to make it and time to design it

C. the size of the object D. the labor service it needs

4.The attitude of KiChong Tran towards the development of 3D printing technology is

A. positive B. objective C. uncertain D. critical

Artificial intelligence can ide ntify skin cancer in photographs with the same accuracy as trained doctors, say scientists. The Stanford University team said the findings were "incredibly exciting" and would now be tested in clinics. Eventually, they believe using AI could revolutionize healthcare by turning anyone’s smart-phone into a cancer scanner.

The AI was repurposed from software developed by Google that had learned to spot the difference between images of cats and dogs. It was shown 129,450 photographs and told what type of skin condition it was looking at in each one.

It then learned to spot the hallmarks of the most common type of skin cancer: carcinoma, and the most deadly: melanoma(黑色素瘤). Only one in 20 skin cancers are melanoma, yet the tumor(腫瘤) accounts for three-quarters of skin cancer deaths.

The experiment, detailed in the journal Nature, then tested the AI against 21 trained skin cancer doctors. One of the researchers, Dr Andre Esteva, told the BBC News website: "We find excitedly, in general, that we are on par with excellent skin cancer doctors."

However, the computer software cannot make a full diagnosis, as this is normally confirmed with a tissue biopsy(活檢). Dr Esteva said the system now needed to be tested alongside doctors in the clinic. "The application of AI to healthcare is, we believe, an incredibly exciting area of research that can be leveraged to achieve a great deal of societal good," he said. "One particular route that we find exciting is the use of this algorithm on a mobile device, but to achieve this we would have to build an app and test its accuracy directly from a mobile device." Incredible advances in machine-learning have already led to AI beating one of humanity's best Go players.

And a team of doctors in London have trained AI to predict when the heart will fail.

1.From the passage we can infer that ________.

A. Artificial Intelligence must replace human one day

B. we can use Artificial Intelligence to cure skin cancers

C. we can use smart-phone to scan our skin at present

D. the research will be of great help to us and our health care

2.Which one will he agree with according to Dr Esteva?

A. Artificial Intelligence has beaten all of humanity’s best Go players.

B. Artificial Intelligence could support assessments by GPs.

C. We still need professional doctors with the help of the system.

D. There are too many disadvantages for Artificial Intelligence.

3.The underlined words “on par with” in Para 4 likely mean ________.

A. inferior to B. equaled by C. superior to D. opposite to

4.What’s probably the best title of this passage?

A. Cancer Doctors Are Out

B. An APP Scanning Skin Cancers

C. Artificial Intelligence—change our future

D. Artificial Intelligence—as good as cancer doctors
