Everyone smiles. Everyone says hello. Are dog owners nicer than other people? Sometimes it is true. Perhaps because of the presence (存在) their dogs, humans find it easy to start a talk. Think about it: In most places where you meet strangers, you may start a talk as follows. “So where do you work?” “I don’t. I lost my job last week.” “But children—you have children?” ‘“No.” The talk comes to a dead end. However, when you meet a dog owner, you can start and continue a talk more smoothly. “That’s a beautiful dog. What is his or her name?” you might ask. Or you can say “What breed (品种) is your dog?” At the same time, I have become very dependent on other dog owners. Whenever I have a question, I think, “There will be an answer at the park.” “Does anyone know a good computer person?” an old dog owner asked. “I’ve got one,” said a woman. “Does anyone know a good dentist?” “Oh, I have one of those,” said a young mother. We often had such talks at the park. Thanks to the dog owners, I knew a good dance teacher. Whatever the reason, dog parks are a rich source (来源) of not only top information but also the small joys of strangers reaching out to each other—a reminder that people in your community, most of the time, are kind. 36. The writer thinks that having a dog can help with people’s communication. How does he support (支撑) his idea? A. He draw a picture at the local park. B. He gives numbers. C. He makes a comparison (比较). D. He wrote a book. 37. What does the underlined word “smoothly” probably mean in Chinese? A. 滑稽地 B. 流畅地 C. 深刻地 D. 谨慎地 38. What help did the writer get at the dog park? A. He knew a good dance teacher. B. He learned computer skills. C. He bought a dog. D. He found a good dentist. 39. The writer learned at the dog park that________. A. dogs are our best animal friends B. a true friend accepts who you are C. dogs can help people do a lot of things D. there is always someone ready to help you 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，通过对比狗公园与其他社交场合的对话差异，说明养狗能促进人际交流，并强调狗公园是获取信息和感受社区温暖的场所。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。作者通过对比普通社交场景（如询问工作或孩子导致对话冷场）与狗公园场景（以狗为话题轻松开启对话），证明养狗能促进人际交流。故选C。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上下文，普通对话常因敏感话题中断“comes to a dead end”，而狗主人之间的对话能自然持续。因此“smoothly”在此指对话“顺利、流畅地进行”。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Thanks to the dog owners, I knew a good dance teacher.”可知，因狗主人的帮助，作者认识了舞蹈老师。故选A。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。作者总结狗公园不仅是信息源（如推荐牙医、电脑维修），更让他感受到社区的温暖“people in your community, most of the time, are kind”（社区中的人大多友善）。D项“总有人愿意帮助你”契合这一主旨。故选D。 B In recent years, six amazing companies from Hangzhou have become very famous in the world of technology.

UnitreeTech UnitreeTech developed the robots that used in the dance performance “Yang BOT”. These robots not only entertain but also help with different tasks in our daily life, such as carrying heavy objects, providing companionship, and even taking part in rescue operations (救援行动). DEEP Robotics DEEP Robotics makes robots that can work in dangerous places to keep people safe. The company is making robots smarter and more useful. BrainCo BrainCo is an important company. It makes devices that can read brain activity and help people relax. ManyCore ManyCore also plays a big role. Its 3D data platform helps other companies develop better AI technology. Game Science Game Science has been known because the company made the game “BlackMyth: Wukong.” The game is based on the famous Chinese story called “Journey to the west”. 40.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了来自杭州的六家令人惊叹的科技公司及其在各自领域的成就，展现了杭州在科技领域的强大实力。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In recent years, six amazing companies from Hangzhou have become very famous in the world of technology. People call them the ‘Six Dragons.’ These companies are doing great things in fields like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, brain-computer interfaces and video games.”可知，文章主要介绍了杭州的六家科技公司及其在科技领域的成就，所以选项C“介绍杭州六家令人惊叹的科技公司及其成就”符合文章主旨。故选C。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据DeepSeek部分中的“Its DeepSeek-V3 model is cheaper to make than other models, but it works better.”可知，DeepSeek-V3模型的优势在于制造成本更低，但性能更好。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据BrainCo部分中的“It makes devices that can read brain activity and help people relax.”可知，BrainCo制造的设备可以读取大脑活动并帮助人们放松，而不是BrainCo的3D数据平台帮助人们放松，所以选项D“BrainCo的3D数据平台帮助人们放松”是不正确的。故选D。 C Think of somebody you really admire. You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life reducing hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population. Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery (肝胆外科)”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 surgeries (手术) during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “I would work at the operating table until my dying day.” In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria (疟疾), Tu Youyou, a pharmacologist (药学家), took on the job as head of a research team and performed different kinds of experiments (实验) with her teammates. However, the results failed. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, she finally received the Nobel Prize. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I am not sad, because every wrong try is another step forward.” Some people only became successful after their deaths. The artist Vincent van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds. One thing all these people have in common is keeping their goals (目标) no matter what. 43. What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common? A. They succeeded in solving world problems. B. They spent all their lives serving people. C. They achieved a lot in the medical field. D. They are remembered for their happiness. 44. The underlined phrase “deformed his fingers” means ________. A. changed the shape of his fingers B. made him feel unhappy C. gave him too much pressure D. got his fingers cut off 45. What can we learn from the passage? A. Vincent van Gogh was successful all through his life. B. Vincent van Gogh painted 2,000 artworks in his life. C. It took Tu Youyou’s team about 3 years to reach their goal. D. Thomas Edison tried 10,000 ways before he invented the light bulb. 46. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. Not everyone can be successful. B. The more difficulties, the better. C Great hopes make great men. D. Great achievements aren’t made naturally. 【答案】43. B 44. A 45. C 46. D 【解析】 【导语】本文列举袁隆平、吴孟超、屠呦呦、爱迪生、梵高的事例，阐述成功需历经艰辛、坚守目标，伟大成就并非轻易取得。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。袁隆平一生致力于减少饥饿、养活人口，吴孟超近八十年专注救人，都“spent all their lives serving people（一生服务他人）”，故选B。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers.”可知，长时间握手术刀会让手指“changed the shape of his fingers（变形）”，故选A。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria (疟疾)...Finally, in 1972, they made it!”可知屠呦呦团队1969年开始研究疟疾，1972年成功，历时约3年，“It took Tu Youyou’s team about 3 years to reach their goal”正确，故选C。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。文章通过多个事例说明伟大成就需克服困难、坚守目标，并非自然达成，“Great achievements aren’t made naturally（伟大成就并非天生铸就）”符合文章主旨，故选D。 D AI doctors are no longer only in the science fiction. It’s truly happening now. In different parts of China, we can clearly see how AI technology is bringing big changes to the medical field. In February 2025, Beijing Children’s Hospital introduce the first AI pediatrician (儿科医生). There was a difficult case where an 8-year-old boy had sudden and unexplained seizures (癫痫) along with a skull-base tumor (颅底肿瘤). Thirteen leading experts were trying hard to find out the best treatment. At the same time, the AI quickly looked into the boy’s medical history and symptoms (症状). It had been trained on loads of data (数据) from over 300 pediatric experts. In just a few minutes, it came up with a surgical(手术) plan that was very similar to what the human doctors thought. What’s more, it could get the latest medical research, which really helped speed up the diagnosis (诊断) process. Even in places that don’t have as many medical resources, like some community hospital in Wuhan and Shandong, AI is lending a helping hand. In Wuhan, hospitals can now use AI to analyze (分析) CT scans in less than a minute. Before, it would take hours. In Shandong, there are AI systems that help patients describe their symptoms and give the same medicine and diagnosis as the doctor in the hospital. AI can help top doctors make better decisions and it can also make health care more available to everyone in the country. However, there are still some discussions. As one doctor said, “AI can provide us ideas, but the care and judgement (判断) that humans bring is also really important.” 47. What happened in Beijing Children’s Hospital in February 2025? A. They held a large medical meeting. B. They introduced the first AI pediatrician. C. They could not find a solution about the difficult case. D. They changed all their medical equipment (设备). 48. For the 8-year-old boy who had sudden and unexplained seizures along with a skull-base tumor, how does AI work? A. It performed directly the surgery (直接手术) on the boy. B. It provided a completely different surgical plan from the experts. C. It only analyzed the boy’s symptoms and didn’t offer any solutions. D. It quickly came up with a surgical plan similar to the human doctors’ thoughts. 49. When the Shandong parent used DeepSeek for their child’s fever, what might the result be? A. The AI gave a wrong diagnosis. B. The AI provided a different medicine from the hospital does. C. The AI provided the same medicine and diagnosis as the doctor in the hospital. D. The AI couldn’t analyze the blood test results. 50. Which of the following is NOT true? A. In Wuhan, AI reduced the analysis CT scan’s time from hours to less than a minute. B. From the last paragraph, we know AI doctor can completely take human doctor’s place. C. AI systems can help top doctors make better decisions. D. AI technology is bringing big changes to the medical field. 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了AI在医疗领域的应用，包括辅助诊断、手术规划和资源不足地区的医疗支持，同时强调AI无法完全替代人类医生的判断和关怀。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In February 2025, Beijing Children’s Hospital introduce the first AI pediatrician .”可知，2025年2月，北京儿童医院引入了第一个AI儿科医生。故选B。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It quickly looked into the boy’s medical history and symptoms… In just a few minutes, it came up with a surgical plan that was very similar to what the human doctors thought.”可知，AI快速查看了男孩的病史和症状……几分钟内就提出了一个与人类医生想法非常相似的手术计划。选项D准确概括了AI的工作方式。故选D。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In Shandong, there are AI systems that help patients describe their symptoms and give the same medicine and diagnosis as the doctor in the hospital.”可知，在山东，有AI系统帮助患者描述症状，并提供与医院医生相同的药物和诊断。故选C。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段引用医生的话“AI can provide us ideas, but the care and judgement that humans bring is also really important.”可知，AI能提供想法，但人类的关怀和判断同样重要。这明确表示AI不能完全取代人类医生。选项B说“从最后一段，我们知道AI医生能完全取代人类医生”，这与文章矛盾，因此B不正确。故选B。 阅读填空。请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从下面五个选项中，选择还原到文章中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。 It’s time to think about how to make yourself happy. ____51____ They choose kindness.

The Grand Song is an important part of their culture. In 2009, UNESCO included it in the list of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产名录). The Dong people mainly live in Guizhou Province in southwest China and mostly work as farmers. They passed down their stories and knowledge from long ago through songs, because they didn’t have a way to write them down until 1958. Even today, it is still very popular. Also, the Dong people believe that the Grand Song is like food for their soul (灵魂). The Grand Song doesn’t need any instruments (乐器) or a leader to guide the singers. It’s all about the voices of the singers and how they sing together: They usually sing in groups of as few as three people or as many as several hundred. They like to sing in the open air and take turns singing different parts. The songs can be about the group’s history or ①________ everyday life. The Dong people first sang the Grand Song at an international event, the Paris Autumn Festival, in 1986. People spoke highly of the performance, and then, more and more people in the world fell in love ②________ the art. Every year, many tourists go to Dong villages to enjoy the traditional songs. It benefits (有益于) the Dong people and helps them make lots of money. But some are wondering if the Grand Song is ③________ when the Dong people perform more and more shows for tourists’ enjoyment. What should people do to keep the song the same as before? 71. Why did the Dong people pass down their stories and knowledge through songs long ago? __________________________________________ 72. What do the Dong people think of the Grand Song? __________________________________________ 73. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. __________________________________________ 74. ①___________②___________③___________ 75. Do you think the Dong people should keep the song the same as before or perform for tourists’ enjoyment? Why? __________________________________________ 【答案】71. Because they didn’t have a way to write them down. 72. They believe that the Grand Song is like food for their soul. 73. 人们如何做才能让歌曲保持原样？ 74. ①. their ②. with ③. changing 75. I think people should keep the song the same as before. Because the Grand Song is an important part of their culture. They should pass down it./I think people should perform for tourists’ enjoyment. Because it benefits the Dong people and helps them make lots of money.（答案合理即可） 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了侗族大歌这一国家级非物质文化遗产的相关情况。 【71题详解】 根据“They passed down their stories and knowledge from long ago through songs, because they didn’t have a way to write them down until 1958.”可知，他们直到1958年都没有文字记录方式。故填Because they didn’t have a way to write them down. 72题详解】 根据“Also, the Dong people believe that the Grand Song is like food for their soul.”可知，侗族人认为侗族大歌是他们的精神食粮。故填They believe that the Grand Song is like food for their soul. 【73题详解】 句子结构是特殊疑问句。特殊疑问词what翻译为“什么”；should“应该”；people“人们”；do实义动词“做”；keep“保持”；the same as before“和之前一样”。故填：人们如何做才能让歌曲保持原样？ 【74题详解】 根据“about the group’s history and ...every day life”可知，表示“他们的每日生活”；第一个空格填their“他们的”。第二个空，考查固定短语fall in love with“爱上”，因此填with。根据“What should people do to keep the song the same as before?.”可知，为游客表演是否改变大歌本质，此处需形容词。“if the Grand Song is ... when… perform for tourists.” 填入“changing”（变化中）最合逻辑，因此填changing。故填their；with；changing。 【75题详解】 答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案为：I think people should keep the song the same as before. Because the Grand Song is an important part of their culture. They should pass down it./I think people should perform for tourists’ enjoyment. Because it benefits the Dong people and helps them make lots of money. 第三节 翻译句子 76. 他号召年轻人坚持自己的梦想。 _________________________________ 【答案】He called on the young men to hold on to their dreams. 【解析】 【详解】他：He，作主语；号召：call on；年轻人：the young men；坚持：hold on to；自己（他们）的梦想：their dreams；call on sb. to do sth.意为“号召某人做某事”，此处描述过去发生的动作时，要用一般过去时，“call”的过去式是“called”，所以“他号召”翻译为“He called on”。故填He called on the young men to hold on to their dreams. 77. 每次我和陌生人交谈时，总是有一种隐秘的恐惧感。 _________________________________ 【答案】Each time I talk to strangers, I always have a secret feeling of fear. 【解析】 【详解】句子是主从复合句。从句是each time“每次”引导的时间状语从句，主语是I“我”；动词短语talk to“与某人交谈”；strangers“陌生人”；主句中主语是I“我”；always“总是”；have a secret feeling of fear“有一种神秘的恐惧感”。故填Each time I talk to strangers, I always have a secret feeling of fear. 78. 你还没看过这部电影，是吗？ _________________________________ 【答案】You haven’t seen the film yet, have you? 【解析】 【详解】此句表达的是现在的完成时态的否定形式，其结构为“haven’t/hasn’t+过去分词”，主语是you，所以用haven’t seen；这部电影：The film；yet常用于现在完成时的否定句和疑问句句末，表示“还，尚”；“是吗”是一个反意疑问句，前半句是否定形式，后半句用肯定形式，且前后主语和谓语要保持一致，所以用have you。故填You haven’t seen the film yet, have you? 79. 他梦想成为物理学的领军人物。 _________________________________ 【答案】He dreamed of becoming the leading figure of physics. 【解析】 【详解】根据句意，句子是陈述句，时态是一般过去时。主语是he“他”；dream of“梦想”，用动词的过去式dreamed；become“成为”，作of的宾语用动名词becoming；the leading figure of“……的领军人物”，physics“物理”。故填He dreamed of becoming the leading figure of physics. 80. 这个节目把现代科技和中国传统文化联系起来。 _________________________________ 【答案】The program/show connected modern technology with traditional Chinese culture. 【解析】 【详解】这个节目：The program/show，作主语；把……和……连接：connect...with，作谓语；现代科技：modern technology；中国传统文化：traditional Chinese culture。此处描述过去发生的动作时，要用一般过去时，“connect”的过去式是“connected”，故填The program/show connected modern technology with traditional Chinese culture. 第四节 写作 81. 张桂梅老师获“感动中国的人物”称号，颁奖词中评价她“不惧碾作尘，无意苦争春，以怒放的生命，向世界表达倔强。是崖畔的桂，雪中的梅。”请你根据下面表格信息，写一篇英语短文。 人物简介 1957年生于黑龙江省一个普通家庭。年少时努力学习实现梦想。 主要事迹 2008年创建华坪女子高中。她坚信教育是改变命运（destiny）的钥匙，一直坚持自己的教育梦想。她克服种种困难，帮助贫困女学生接受教育，考上大学，改变命运，现在她的学生们从事各种工作，为社会服务，实现了自己的梦想。 你的感悟 至少两点 要求：语句通顺，条理清楚，可适当发挥。不少于100词。 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： Zhang Guimei was born in 1957 in a poor family in Heilongjiang.

Everyone smiles. Everyone says hello. Are dog owners nicer than other people? Sometimes it is true. Perhaps because of the presence (存在) their dogs, humans find it easy to start a talk. Think about it: In most places where you meet strangers, you may start a talk as follows. “So where do you work?” “I don’t. I lost my job last week.” “But children—you have children?” ‘“No.” The talk comes to a dead end. However, when you meet a dog owner, you can start and continue a talk more smoothly. “That’s a beautiful dog. What is his or her name?” you might ask. Or you can say “What breed (品种) is your dog?” At the same time, I have become very dependent on other dog owners. Whenever I have a question, I think, “There will be an answer at the park.” “Does anyone know a good computer person?” an old dog owner asked. “I’ve got one,” said a woman. “Does anyone know a good dentist?” “Oh, I have one of those,” said a young mother. We often had such talks at the park. Thanks to the dog owners, I knew a good dance teacher. Whatever the reason, dog parks are a rich source (来源) of not only top information but also the small joys of strangers reaching out to each other—a reminder that people in your community, most of the time, are kind. 36. The writer thinks that having a dog can help with people’s communication. How does he support (支撑) his idea? A. He draw a picture at the local park. B. He gives numbers. C. He makes a comparison (比较). D. He wrote a book. 37. What does the underlined word “smoothly” probably mean in Chinese? A. 滑稽地 B. 流畅地 C. 深刻地 D. 谨慎地 38. What help did the writer get at the dog park? A. He knew a good dance teacher. B. He learned computer skills. C. He bought a dog. D. He found a good dentist. 39. The writer learned at the dog park that________. A. dogs are our best animal friends B. a true friend accepts who you are C. dogs can help people do a lot of things D. there is always someone ready to help you B In recent years, six amazing companies from Hangzhou have become very famous in the world of technology. People call them the “Six Dragons.” These companies are doing great things in fields like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, brain-computer interfaces and video games. DeepSeek DeepSeek is a leader in AI. Its DeepSeek-V3 model is cheaper to make than other models, but it works better. This has made a big difference on the global AI market. UnitreeTech UnitreeTech developed the robots that used in the dance performance “Yang BOT”. These robots not only entertain but also help with different tasks in our daily life, such as carrying heavy objects, providing companionship, and even taking part in rescue operations (救援行动). DEEP Robotics DEEP Robotics makes robots that can work in dangerous places to keep people safe. The company is making robots smarter and more useful. BrainCo BrainCo is an important company. It makes devices that can read brain activity and help people relax. ManyCore ManyCore also plays a big role. Its 3D data platform helps other companies develop better AI technology. Game Science Game Science has been known because the company made the game “BlackMyth: Wukong.” The game is based on the famous Chinese story called “Journey to the west”. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To introduce six famous companies from different cities in China. B. To explain how Hangzhou became a hot city for tourism. C. To introduce six amazing tech companies in Hangzhou and their achievements. D. To compare the tech industries in different Chinese cities. 41. The DeepSeek-V3 model’s advantage (优势) lies in that ________. A it has a special look B. it costs less to make but performs better C. it is the only model made by DeepSeek D. it is the best AI mode1 in the world 42. Which of the follow is NOT true? A UnitreeTech and DEEP Robotics are both companies making robots. B. Game Science made the game “BlackMyth: Wukong.” C. ManyCore also plays a big role in developing technology in Hangzhou. D. BrainCo’s 3D data platform helps other people relax. C Think of somebody you really admire. You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life reducing hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population. Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery (肝胆外科)”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 surgeries (手术) during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “I would work at the operating table until my dying day.” In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria (疟疾), Tu Youyou, a pharmacologist (药学家), took on the job as head of a research team and performed different kinds of experiments (实验) with her teammates. However, the results failed. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, she finally received the Nobel Prize. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I am not sad, because every wrong try is another step forward.” Some people only became successful after their deaths. The artist Vincent van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds. One thing all these people have in common is keeping their goals (目标) no matter what. 43. What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common? A. They succeeded in solving world problems. B. They spent all their lives serving people. C. They achieved a lot in the medical field. D. They are remembered for their happiness. 44. The underlined phrase “deformed his fingers” means ________. A. changed the shape of his fingers B. made him feel unhappy C. gave him too much pressure D. got his fingers cut off 45. What can we learn from the passage? A. Vincent van Gogh was successful all through his life. B. Vincent van Gogh painted 2,000 artworks in his life. C. It took Tu Youyou’s team about 3 years to reach their goal. D. Thomas Edison tried 10,000 ways before he invented the light bulb. 46. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. Not everyone can be successful. B. The more difficulties, the better. C. Great hopes make great men. D. Great achievements aren’t made naturally. D AI doctors are no longer only in the science fiction. It’s truly happening now. In different parts of China, we can clearly see how AI technology is bringing big changes to the medical field. In February 2025, Beijing Children’s Hospital introduce the first AI pediatrician (儿科医生). There was a difficult case where an 8-year-old boy had sudden and unexplained seizures (癫痫) along with a skull-base tumor (颅底肿瘤). Thirteen leading experts were trying hard to find out the best treatment. At the same time, the AI quickly looked into the boy’s medical history and symptoms (症状). It had been trained on loads of data (数据) from over 300 pediatric experts. In just a few minutes, it came up with a surgical(手术) plan that was very similar to what the human doctors thought. What’s more, it could get the latest medical research, which really helped speed up the diagnosis (诊断) process. Even in places that don’t have as many medical resources, like some community hospital in Wuhan and Shandong, AI is lending a helping hand. In Wuhan, hospitals can now use AI to analyze (分析) CT scans in less than a minute. Before, it would take hours.
