Every year, 12, 000 to 14, 000 earthquakes happen around the world, killing tens of thousands of lives. So when it comes to monitoring(监测) earthquakes, every second counts. Recently, a new AI system developed by China shorten the time that it will take to notice earthquakes.
Ⅲ 阅读理解
语篇类型：说明文 主题：人与社会·AI智能用处多
难度： 词数：284 用时：7分钟
“This is the first earthquake monitoring AI system in China and the world,”Zhu Huiyu, a researcher at the University of Science and Technology of China, told China News. “It can notice earthquakes in real time.”
After an earthquake happens, most researchers can quickly tell the time, place, magnitude(震级) and depth of the earthquake to people. However, they often don't include the focal mechanism parameters(震源机制参数), which can be used to find the possible areas of strong aftershocks. This information is very important. “It takes three to ten minutes for other countries to give out earthquake focal mechanism parameters, but by this time,
the earthquake has fully happened and the damage has been done,” Zhu said. “This new system can provide the focal mechanism parameters within just one second and release the information before the aftershocks reach some areas. Then people in those areas could get enough preparation and avoid too much hurt.”
“If we are able to receive the warning information three seconds before an earthquake happens, we will be able to reduce casualties(伤亡人数) by 14 percent. With 10 seconds earlier, casualties can be reduced by 39 percent. The AI system is of great use for people to run away from the earthquake, ” Zhu said.
This improvement is possible thanks to a deep learning method. The system is trained with millions of earthquake examples. It's now being tested in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces.
( )1.Why is the AI system in the passage special
A. It is the best earthquake AI system in the world.
B. It can tell people the depth of an earthquake quickly.
C. It can quickly find areas that might have strong aftershocks.
D. It can give out earthquake focal mechanism parameters in three minutes.
C
( )2.What does the underlined word “release“ in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Borrow.
B. Write.
C. Send.
D. Hide.
C
( )3.How can people help save more lives
A. By asking people to buy the AI system.
B. By getting the warning information earlier.
C. By finding more methods to make the system.
D. By helping people learn more about onitoring earthquakes.
B
( )4.What can be the best title of this passage
A. Use AI to Stop Earthquakes
