In addition , studies show that small metastatic material can - 9 - be missed up to 67 percent of the time when examinations happen under extreme time restri

46、ctions.”可知，以前的研究表明，多达四分之一的转移性淋巴结分类在第二次检查后会改变，此外，研究表明，在极端的时间限制下进行检查时，小的转移性乳腺癌可以漏诊高达67%，也就是说转移性乳腺癌很难鉴别，故B项正确。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In addition, the Lymph Node Assistant is highly effective at finding the positions of the cancers.”可知，谷歌研发的新算法在发现癌变位置方面非常有效，由此可知，它的优点是能识别癌变的确切位置，故B项正确。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后

47、一段中的“Instead , it is designed to reduce the number of false identifications and help doctors work faster and more effectively.”可知，这种新算法旨在减少误诊的数量，帮助医生更快更有效地工作，由此可知，通过这种新算法，医生可以更快地了解病人的病情，故D项正确。 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分io分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why Ultra-pure（超高纯的）Water Is Actually Bad f
