It may help them better understand and treat diseases like liver cancer in ways that were never before possible.

16、Rishi Rawat, who teaches AI at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, is part of a team of scientists researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the liver. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says, “You can put th

17、e data into them and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition thats important for making decisions.”David Agus is another researcher. He believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors. “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions an

18、d look for things that the human brain cant recognize by itself.”Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Nowadays, researchers take a thin piece of tissue (组织),

19、put it on a small piece of glass and add color to see the cells better. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns or structures, and learn how the cell

20、s are organized.The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. Agus says the process could be done for almost no cost in the developing world and that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine

21、to effectively do its job in medicine.The researchers of the university are now only studying liver cancer. But doctors predict artificial intelligence will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer.5What can AI do with the help of the information provided by the researchers?ARecognize cancer

22、 patterns.BTreat liver cancer.CCollect useful information.DStore cancerous cells.6What can we learn about AI?AIt will be able to replace doctors.BPatients are unlikely to be cancerous again with its help.CIt is making a difference in taking care of patients.DIt can recognize cancer more accurately.7

23、Whats the authors attitude towards the future of AI?AOptimistic. BDoubtful.CCurious. DCold.8What is the best title for the text?AAI Is Used to Treat CancersBAI May Compete with DoctorsCAI May Make Doctors BetterDAI Is Better at Curing CancersCThere are more bicycles than residents in the Netherlands

24、, and in cities like Amsterdam and The Hague up to 70% of all journeys are made by bike. The BBCs reporter, Anna Holligan, examines what made everyone get back in the saddle (车座)Before World War ， journeys in the Netherlands were mainly made by bike, but in the 1950s and 1960s, as car ownership incr

25、eased quickly, this changed. As in many countries in Europe, roads became increasingly crowded.The jump in car number caused a huge rise in the number of deaths on the roads. In 1971 more than 3,000 people were killed by motor vehicles, and 450 of them were children. In response a social movement de

26、manding safer cycling conditions for children was formed. Called Stop de Kindermoord, it took its name from the headline of an article written by journalist Vic Langenhoff whose own child had been killed in a road accident.The Dutch love of the motor vehicle was also shaken by the Middle East oil cr

27、isis of 1973, when oilproducing countries topped export to the US and Western Europe.These twin pressures helped to persuade the Dutch government to invest in improving cycling infrastructure (基础设施) and the Dutch urban planners started to change from the roadbuilding policies designed mainly for car

29、 live in a world of cycling. As babies they travel in special seats on bikes. As the children grow up they ride their own bikes. And, as the Dutch are not allowed to drive until 18, cycling offers teenagers an alternative form of freedom.The state also plays a part in teaching, with cycling lessons

30、a compulsory (必修的) part in Dutch schools. All schools have places to park bikes and at some schools 90% of pupils cycle to class.9What does Anna Holligan intend to find out?AWhy cycling is popular in the Netherlands.BHow journeys are made in the Netherlands.CWhats the main means of transport in the
