We were going to drive to the local grocery store to pick up a few things that we had run out of during the week. I shut the door quickly because my dogs were already barking at being left behind in the house. We headed down the hill but when I reached into my pocket for the car keys, they werent there. Shaking my head, I walked back up the hill and saw my keys still dangling from the hook where I always hang them.This, of course, isnt the only time I have forgotten something recently. In fact, it seems to be happening more and more. There isnt a week that goes by when I dont forget something and then remember it later in the day or misplace something and have to go looking for it.

She follows a special raw diet and only drinks rainwater.She looks so young that people mistake her to be the daughter, when shes out with her husband of 54 years, but I suppose he isnt complaining.Mrs. Larkins says the secret to her beauty lies in her special diet, consisting of organic vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts grown in her own garden; she calls it the “fountain of youth”. The woman doesnt touch anything that has been cooked.And another strange thing she does is to collect rainwater, to keep her garden blossoming, but also to drink. But the residents of Miami-Dade County, Florida, didnt always have such a healthy lifestyle. In fact, she consumed meat regularly, as her husband used to own a meat factory way back in the 1960s. It was then that she decided to change her eating habits forever. And what a great decision that was. I mean, just look at her!When she started off, Mrs. Larkins was just looking for a few health benefits and never anticipated that she would look like a 40-year-old at the age of 70. Over the 27 years that she has been eating raw, Mrs. Larkins has written two booklets railed Journey to Health and also produced a DVD containing all her healthy secrets.Her husband, Mr. Larkins, wishes he had followed her example, because now he looks much, much older and also suffers from diabetes（糖尿病）and high blood pressure. He takes prescription medicine every day, but Annette doesnt even take an aspirin.63. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The organic food. B. Her beauty.C.

She improved them with her husbands help.66. What is the authors attitude towards Mrs. Larkinss lifestyle?A. Disapproving B. Supportive. C. Sympathetic.D. doubtful.DArtificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. For example, it may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer（乳腺癌）in ways that were not possible.Rishi Rawat teaches AI at a University in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. He says, You put information about cancer cells（细胞）into a computer and it will learn the cancerous growth patterns（方式）. The pattern recognition is very important to making decisions.At present, researchers have to take a thin piece of tissue（组织）, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cell-growth patterns. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do it better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can quickly recognize patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized.The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick recognition of cancerous cell-growth patterns that is free of human mistakes. Rawat adds that the process could be done “for almost no cost for the patients”. But having a large amount of information about cells is important for a machine to effectively do its job.Once the cancerous growth pattern is recognized, doctors still have to treat the patient. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer.David Agus is another researcher of the team. He believes, “Computers will help doctors make better decisions and look for those patterns that the human brain cant recognize by itself. But they will not treat patients.”67. AI technology may _.A. treat breast cancer all by itselfB. provide free cancer treatment for the patientsC. recognize the cancerous I growth patterns fasterD. help doctors avoid making mistakes in cancer treatment68. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The process of treating cancers.B. The process of adding color to cells.C. The process of taking a piece of tissue.D. The process of recognizing the cell-growth.69. What can be inferred from David Agus words?A.AI will develop fast in the future.B.AI can be useless in treating cancers.C.AI will not replace doctors. D.AI can provide the doctors with treatments.70.What can be the best title for the text?A. The Advantages of AI B. AI Makes Better DoctorsC. Future Cancer Treatments D.
