Jiang Zhapeng, an 18-year-ld medical student at Shandng City Service Technician Cllege in Yantai, faced a life-r-death test n his way t the spring cllege entrance exam.
At abut 8:10 am, Jiang and his classmate barded a car t the testing site. Just a minute later, his classmate cllapsed, shwing signs f heart failure. Applying first aid skills learned in schl, Jiang immediately perfrmed Cardi Pulmnary Resuscitatin (心肺复苏术) while instructing the driver Wang Ta t head t the hspital. Wang respnded quickly — he infrmed traffic plice, ran six red lights, and reached the hspital in just seven minutes, half the nrmal time. Only after ensuring his classmate was receiving prfessinal medical care did Jiang rush t the exam site, thugh he missed the 9 am Chinese test.
Dctrs later cnfirmed that Jiang’s classmate wuld recver withut brain damage, emphasizing that the first fur minutes f CPR were “abslutely vital” fr saving his life. Thugh having missed the imprtant exam, Jiang expressed n regrets. “Exams can be retaken, but a life cannt,” he said.

Beneath Califrnia lie faults (断层) — places where rcks slide past, ver, under, r int ne anther. They mve at an alarming rate until, eventually, the grund shakes vilently.
Unavidably, destructive earthquakes will rck the state. Nthing can be dne t prevent them frm striking. But understanding where they are likely t happen, and what srt f pwer they can release, means cmmunities can prepare. In ther wrds, the best way t reduce these future disasters is t draw maps f the underwrld, charting every fault and mnitring its behavir.
T create thse maps, researchers emply seismmeters (地震仪). This wrk, histrically, has been painstaking. Traditinal methds f quake-hunting science were nt reliable. Even the best cmputer prgrams at the time missed certain earthquakes. Zachary Rss, an assistant gephysics prfessr at Caltech, explains because Califrnia is s gelgically active and s thrughly cvered in seismmeters, there were mre data than human experts alne culd reasnably handle.
In 2017 Rss was inspired by machine learning prgrams which can handle huge sets f phts, identifying and categrizing elements within them, and with accuracy and speed that humans culdn’t match. S, he thught, why nt apply a similar apprach t seismlgy? Rss and his clleagues first tk seismic wavefrms frm genuine quakes. Then he figured ut their wave patterns. Finally, he set an algrithm (算法) searching fr quakes that matched thse wave patterns.
The algrithm quickly identified nearly tw millin previusly hidden tiny quakes frm 2008 t 2017 — which, in turn, illustrated a cmplex netwrk f faults and fault features that prir quake searches were unable t see. There was a drawback, hwever. This prgram culd nly find earthquakes in the seismic recrd that it was taught t recgnize. Nvel seismic events went unnticed. S Rss turned t AI tls: self-learning prgrams, sftware that culd take preexisting infrmatin and make predictins abut the future.
8. What’s the purpse f mapping faults in Califrnia?
A. T cllect mre gelgical data. B. T identify hidden fault netwrks.
C. T predict earthquake frequencies. D. T assist residents in preparatin.
9. Why were traditinal quake-hunting methds unreliable?
A. Sme quakes went undetected. B. Gelgical structure is cmplicated.
C. Hunting tls were nt widely used. D. Inaccuracies existed in cllected data.
10. What’s the authr’s attitude tward Rss’s research?
A. Critical. B. Dubtful. C. Objective. D. Supprtive.
11. What might the authr cntinue talking abut?
A. The applicatin f AI tls.
B. The findings f hidden fault features.
C. The ways t reduce earthquake damage.
D. The drawback f self-learning prgrams.

Cancer treatment has made remarkable prgress. New drugs and cutting-edge technlgies have greatly changed utcmes fr many cancer patients. Sme nce-deadly diagnses turn int manageable chrnic cnditins that can be kept in check with regular care and allw cancer patients t maintain a basic quality f daily living. Yet despite these prmising advances, there are clear limits t what mntherapy (单一疗法) can achieve. Tumrs (肿瘤) are adaptive and cmplex; they can find ways t bypass even the mst cmplicated therapies, leaving patients with few ptins nce drug r treatment resistance develps.
Few phrases strike mre fear in cancer patients than “Yur cancer is n lnger respnding t treatment.” That destructive mment, hwever, has als fueled a grwing interest in cmbinatin therapy fr cancer—the strategic use f tw r mre treatments with different wrking principles t target tumrs frm multiple angles and reduce the chance f resistance.
Dctrs have lng paired chemtherapy drugs r cmbined chemtherapy with radiatin t bst efficiency and cver mre cancer cell ppulatins. Tday, the treatment tlbx is brader than ever: targeted therapies that zer in n specific cancer cell, immuntherapies that activate the bdy’s wn immune (免疫的) system t attack tumrs, and precisin frms f radiatin can all be matched t a patient’s unique tumr bilgy. This matching pens the dr t innvative cmbinatins and, in many cases, renewed hpe fr thse with advanced r recurrent disease. As a result, arund 5,000 clinical trials wrldwide are currently investigating the ptential benefits f new cmbinatin therapies acrss varius cancer types, frm lung cancer t breast cancer.
Over time, the ttal number f cancer clinical trials has risen steadily, but the share f mntherapy trials has declined sharply (frm arund 70 percent t 20-30 percent). This ntable shift reflects grwing medical cnfidence that well-designed cmbinatin treatments can utperfrm single treatments, bth in effectiveness against tumrs and in brader applicability acrss diverse patient ppulatins with different health prblems.
12. What des the underlined wrd “chrnic” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Lng-term. B. Hard-t-detect. C. Life-threatening. D. Cst-saving.
13. Why des the authr mentin the phrase “Yur cancer is n lnger respnding t treatment” in paragraph 2?
A. T demnstrate cancer is incurable.
B. T illustrate the fear f cancer patients.
C. T shw the difficulty f cancer treatment.
D. T indicate the need fr alternative therapies.
14. What can be inferred frm the last tw paragraphs?
A. Mntherapy will disappear sn. B. Cancer treatment can be tailred.
C. Clinical trials favr certain cancers. D. Cmbinatin therapies suit all cancers.
15. What’s the best title fr the passage?
A. Mntherapy: T Leave r t Stay B. Brader Tlbx: The Cure fr Cancer
C. Cancer Clinical Trials: A Rising Trend D. Cmbinatin Therapy: Hpe fr Cancer
