  「每日一句第135句」

  But as details of the law took shape, it quickly became the worst nightmare of pharmaceutical companies. Under the new legislation, known as the IRA, the US government for the first time was given the power to negotiate drug prices for the millions of elderly Americans on Medicare. That change marked a dramatic challenge to drugmakers’ traditional business model—which has long relied on spending heavily on research and development with the assurance they could charge hefty prices for medicines later on.

  「答案解析」

  第135句题目解析进度条04:3200:00/04:32

  The change brought by the new legislation __.

  新立法带来的变化__。

  A.would benefit drugmakers in the long term

  (会在长期令制药商受益)

  B.has given the U.S. government more power

  (给予了美国政府更多权力)

  C.would challenge the tradition of research

  (会挑战研究的传统)

  D.has already lowered prices of new medicine

  (已经降低了新药的价格)

  答案选B。

  你看不懂这个IRA具体是什么法案没有关系,但是你要能看出,第二句话里很明显的谈到了这个法案意味着美国政府第一次被赋予一个议价的权力,第一次被赋予的意义就是从前是没有的,因为这个法案才有了,也就是意味着B选项说的,有了更多的权力。

  A选项,恰恰相反,这是那些制药商的噩梦;

  C选项,这是一个强干扰选项,实际上它不是挑战研究的传统,而是挑战一个商业模式,只是这个商业模式是“先花很多钱研究,然后高价卖药”;

  D选项,这个有点扯远了,原文还没有谈到这里。

  「文章背景」

  当拜登总统去年推出涵盖广泛的《通胀削减法案》之时,这部法案因为能够降低飙升的家庭成本并促进能源生产方面的投资而备受欢迎,并屡屡成为媒体头条。但随着法案的具体条文浮出水面,药企开始坐立不安,因为该法赋予了政府为享有医保的人员对药品进行议价的权力。一直以来,药企的盈利模式基于前期高成本的新药研发和后期对药品的高定价,而新法的“政府议价”无疑将极大影响它们的利润,因此,默克制药将美国政府告上法院,称《通胀削减法案》违反美国宪法,对于药企业来说“近乎灭绝”。默克制药认为药价谈判只是一个迫使企业同意政府定价的“幌子”,如果企业们不同意,就会面临税收和其他罚金。此举可谓十分罕见,是第一次有企业因为新法而将政府推上实行席。

  「今日预习」

  To avoid the AIs giving themselves away when asked, the researchers used three different language models, sometimes switching between them within a single conversation, and gave the AIs random prompts to act as people with specific intentions and objectives. They also incorporated a typing delay for all players to mask the rapid computation time of the models. The results of 1.5 million conversations show that people could only tell if they were dealing with another human or an AI 68 per cent of the time.
