Scientists say they’ve developed a system using machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike.The research was led by engineers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland.
European researchers have estimated between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year.The strikes can also cause power outages(停电),destroy property,damage electrical equipment and start forest fires.For these reasons,climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning.But no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.
The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods.The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.
The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas.The data related to four main surface conditions:air pressure,air temperature,relative humidity(湿度) and wind speed.
The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm(算法),which compared it to records of lightning strikes.Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.
Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the development of the method.He said,“Current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites.”
“Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station,” Mostajabi said.“This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellites or in places where communication systems have been cut,” he added.
24.Why have climate scientists tried to predict and control lightning
A.To collect relative data. B.To create a scientific system.
C.To do research in relation to machine learning. D.To reduce the destruction lightning has been causing.
25.The four mentioned surface conditions include all the following EXCEPT .
A.wind speed B.air pollution C.relative humidity D.air temperature
26.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to
A.Lightning. B.The system being tested.
C.The atmospheric data. D.The machine learning algorithm.
27.What can we learn about Mostajabi from the passage
A.He developed the method and the system by himself.
B.He thinks the current systems are too slow and simple.
C.He is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
D.He believes their system does much better in data collection.

A storm hit Houston,Texas,on Tuesday.It brought heavy rains and rising floodwaters.By Tuesday night,some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain.Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places.They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.
Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard.In just four hours,more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston.Cars could not pass through any of the area’s main roadways.On Twitter,Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground.
Tuesday’s rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged.Hurricane Harvey in August,2017 was the second most costly hurricane in US history.It caused $125 billion worth of damage in Texas.In the Houston area,36 people died and about 150,000 homes were flooded.
A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management said that this week’s rain “is not in any way a Harvey-level event”.
But the worst may not be over yet.People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service,the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week.“Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,”said Don Oettinger,a National Weather Service meteorologist(气象学家).
Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned,“As there is too much water on the ground and flash floods are likely to happen,we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and encourage them to stay home.There’s no sense in putting yourself,firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.”
28.What are paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about
A.Climate change in Houston. B.Flood prevention in Houston.
C.Heavy floods hitting Houston. D.People fighting floods in Houston.
29.What do we know about Hurricane Harvey
A.It caused no deaths or injuries.
B.It did a lot of damage to Texas.
C.It was less serious than this week’s rain.
D.It was the biggest hurricane on record.
30.What can we learn from the weather report of the National Weather Service
A.Fine days are coming. B.It will rain a little non-stop.
C.A hurricane is unavoidable. D.Floods will continue.
31.What did Samuel suggest local people do
A.Stay indoors. B.Join firefighters.
C.Give up needless things. D.Comfort those who lost homes.

The worsening air quality in tropical cities is causing ever greater threats to people’s health and this trend will only get worse as the urbanization is progressing quickly,scientists have warned.In a newly published study,a team of researchers explain that across all the 46 cities they surveyed from Africa to Asia,they have measured significant annual increases in pollutants harmful to health.
This trend is troubling as tropical cities usually lack proper air pollution monitoring measures and policies to deal with the problem.“These cities are predicted to reach populations of up to 80 million people by 2100,so actions targeting human-related pollution are badly needed,” the scientists stress.
Already the number of people dying prematurely(过早地) from long exposure to air pollution has been on the increase and people living in cities in South Asia are the worst affected.In Dhaka,Bangladesh,some 24,000 people die of such causes each year while around 100,000 people die in Indian cities such as Mumbai,Bangalore etc.
“The number of deaths in tropical cities in Africa is still lower due to recent improvements in health care there.But the worst effects of air pollution on health will likely occur in the coming decades,” the scientists say.
The reasons for worsening air quality in tropical cities lie in increasing road traffic,waste burning,and the widespread use of coal and wood.Industry is also partly to blame.“Open burning for land clearance in the past contributed most to air pollution in the tropics,” explains Karn Vohra,an author of the study.“Our analysis suggests we’re entering a new age when some cities experience rates of air pollution in a year that others experience in a decade,” Vohra warns.
32.What is the function of the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3
A.To show the negative effect of urbanization.
B.To warn people to limit their time of going out.
C.To remind people to pay attention to their health.
D.To display the seriousness of air pollution in some tropical cities.
33.What helps the tropical cities in Africa maintain a lower death rate
A.The fast-paced urbanization.
B.The improvements in health care.
C.The proper policies dealing with air pollution.
D.The effective air pollution monitoring measures.
34.What does the underlined word “blame” in the last paragraph mean
A.Take responsibility. B.Get affected. C.Break down. D.Check out.
35.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.Air pollution is fast getting worse in tropical cities
B.The growing population is speeding up air pollution
C.Human activities lead to air pollution in tropical cities
D.It’s of great importance to increase the use of green energy

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The aftermath(后果) of an earthquake can be horrible,but it is important that you are attentive and focused after an earthquake happens.Fires,gas leaks,and injuries are all dangers you might face after an earthquake. 36 By assessing the safety of your location and following the directions of local authorities,your chances of surviving the aftermath of an earthquake will be much higher.
Check yourself for injuries. 37 If you’re bleeding,lift your injury up and put pressure on it.If your injury is serious,call for help using a cellphone or try to get rescuers’ attention.
38 Use a cellphone to call for help if you have one.If you can’t use a phone,try knocking loudly on something nearby until rescuers find you.
Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes which follow the main shock of an earthquake. 39 So you should prepare to move to a safe location,like an open outdoor space or a structurally sound building.
Exit the building and go to a safer place once the shaking has stopped.The structure of the building you’re in may have been weakened by the main earthquake. 40
A.Signal for help if you are trapped.
B.They can cause significant damage.
C.Remain calm as the earthquake occurs.
D.The more prepared you are,the safer you’ll be.
E.Make sure you’re not seriously hurt before you do anything.
F.After the earthquake,you must get medical treatment in time.
G.Therefore,you should leave as soon as possible in case of any aftershocks.

A man in California survived a five-hour night swim,thanks to the 41 of a friendly seal.
Scott Thompson,a boater from Southern California,was out on his boat.After realizing the weather wasn’t favorable,he turned the boat back towards land.
Soon after,something 42 happened.The boat was rocked by the wavy water and Scott got 43 out of the boat.The engines continued to run,moving the boat farther and farther away from him,which made it 44 to swim back to it.He watched his boat 45 in the middle of the icy Santa Barbara Channel.

All of a sudden,he heard a big splash(拍水声).It was a medium-sized harbor seal that Thompson described as “an angel” that came to help him.“The seal would come up and 51 me,like a dog comes up and pushes your leg.” Thompson said.It was a sense of 52 ,Thompson recalled,knowing that he wasn’t alone on this heroic journey.
Being pushed along by the seal,Thompson felt 53 to swim to the nearest oil platform,which was far but closer than land.With the 54 of the seal,he swam through the dark,freezing water for five hours,until he managed to reach an oil platform.People aboard the oil platform offered aid.They rushed him to a hospital where Thompson was treated and recovered a few days later.
While the thought of his 55 motivated him to keep going,Thompson said that he would not have endured through the pain if it hadn’t been for the seal swimming alongside him.

I Survived Being Caught In A Mudslide(泥石流)
It was May 2018,and my boyfriend,Gabe Smith,and I were driving from my home in Weyburn,to visit friends in Nelson.
At around 5:30 p.m.,we were driving along the Crowsnest Highway,a steep and winding mountain road.I was texting my mother when I happened to look up in time to see a huge tree in front of us on the highway.It was being pushed down by a torrent(洪流) of mud that was swallowing everything in its path.We didn’t know about the recent flooding in the area,and now we were trapped in it.Gabe and I looked at each other unbelievably and said,“Oh,god.” Within seconds,our car was rolling 30 meters down the cliffside(悬崖边).
I don’t know how long we were unconscious(昏迷的),but I woke up to the sound of Gabe moaning (呻吟).He lay beside me and his blood was everywhere.
Our car had landed on a small area among trees that had come down with the mudslide.On one side of us was the mountain.On the other,a steep drop of about 1,000 meters into a river.
I tried opening my door with a sharp pain in the chest.In addition,my left ankle had been broken.Gabe had broken his nose and cheek,as well as his chest bone,leaving him blind in his left eye and having difficulty in breathing.
As the doors were crashed out of shape,and my window failed to be opened,the only way out was through the driver’s side window.Although it was difficult and painful,we both managed to get out of it.

New research carried out by Yale University shows that people who read a lot live longer.The researchers said reading keeps the mind active,helps reduce stress and makes us take better care of our health.The researchers said that books help the brain more than newspapers and magazines,but any kind of reading will help us to live longer.In the study,researchers looked at the lifestyles of 3,500 men and women over a 12-year period.They looked at their reading habits,health,lifestyle and their education.All of the people were at least 50 years old at the start of the research.
The study found that people who read for up to 3.5 hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die during the study’s 12-year research period than those who read no books.Those who read for more than 3.5 hours a week were 23 percent less likely to die.Researcher Becca Levy said,“Individuals over the age of 65 spend an average of 4.4 hours per day watching television.Efforts to redirect leisure time into reading books could prove to be beneficial.”

【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了在灾难时有帮助的几款应用程序。
21.B 细节理解题。根据Siren GPS Mobile部分第二段中“But it also works on Wi-Fi if cellphone networks are down after an emergency.”可知,B项“如果你的手机网络坏了,它就没用了。”不是Siren GPS Mobile应用程序的特点。
22.B 细节理解题。根据Life360部分第一段中“The Life360 app provides a service to keep the loved ones connected.”可知,如果你有Life360应用程序,你能和你社交圈里的人保持联系。
23.D 推理判断题。根据First Aid by American Red Cross部分第一段中“The app can also help with information to help plan for droughts,floods,storms and more.”可知,如果你想提前获得灾难的信息,最好的选择是First Aid by American Red Cross。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。为了有效地预测闪电以减少因雷击造成的损失,科学家们使用了气象站数据和机器学习方法的组合,开发了一个可以识别可能导致闪电的预测模型。这个系统使用的数据可以从任何气象站获得,比其他的系统更好、更全面、更省经费。
24.D 推理判断题。根据第二段可推断,雷电可能导致人员死亡,财产受损,引发火灾,所以气候科学家试图预测和控制闪电,希望减少雷电造成的破坏。故选D项。
25.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The data related to four main surface conditions:air pressure,air temperature,relative humidity and wind speed.”可知,数据与四个主要表面条件(气压、气温、相对湿度和风速)相关。没有提到空气污染。故选B项。
26.C 代词指代题。根据第五段中的“The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm,which compared it to records of lightning strikes.”可知,大气数据被放入机器学习算法中,该算法会把大气数据与雷击记录进行比较。由此可推断,it指代上文的The atmospheric data。故选C项。

第二节
We sat on a rock with no phone signal,realizing all we could do was shout for help.Because of the pain,we could only yell from time to time.After what seemed a century,someone responded.Four bystanders had spotted our car and were wading through the mud to us.We showed great excitement.Once they arrived,two of them helped Gabe climbing up the hill.Because of my injured foot,the other two had to carry me.Sinking into the mud made it even tougher.
With the help of them,we finally reached the highway at around 8:00 p.m.Gabe was in shock.He kept slipping in and out of consciousness.They kept shocking him to keep him awake so he wouldn’t slip into a coma.When the medical helicopter finally came and airlifted us to the nearest hospital,they left without a word.The experience bounded us as a couple and made us even more positive to life.And the kindness of the strangers will always remain in our hearts.

Scientists say they’ve developed a system using machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike.The research was led by engineers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland.
European researchers have estimated between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year.The strikes can also cause power outages(停电),destroy property,damage electrical equipment and start forest fires.For these reasons,climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning.But no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.
The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods.The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.
The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas.The data related to four main surface conditions:air pressure,air temperature,relative humidity(湿度) and wind speed.
The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm(算法),which compared it to records of lightning strikes.Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.
Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the development of the method.He said,“Current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites.”
“Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station,” Mostajabi said.“This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellites or in places where communication systems have been cut,” he added.
24.Why have climate scientists tried to predict and control lightning
A.To collect relative data. B.To create a scientific system.
C.To do research in relation to machine learning. D.To reduce the destruction lightning has been causing.
25.The four mentioned surface conditions include all the following EXCEPT .
A.wind speed B.air pollution C.relative humidity D.air temperature
26.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to
A.Lightning. B.The system being tested.
C.The atmospheric data. D.The machine learning algorithm.
27.What can we learn about Mostajabi from the passage
A.He developed the method and the system by himself.
B.He thinks the current systems are too slow and simple.
C.He is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
D.He believes their system does much better in data collection.

A storm hit Houston,Texas,on Tuesday.It brought heavy rains and rising floodwaters.By Tuesday night,some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain.Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places.They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.
Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard.In just four hours,more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston.Cars could not pass through any of the area’s main roadways.On Twitter,Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground.
Tuesday’s rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged.Hurricane Harvey in August,2017 was the second most costly hurricane in US history.It caused $125 billion worth of damage in Texas.In the Houston area,36 people died and about 150,000 homes were flooded.
A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management said that this week’s rain “is not in any way a Harvey-level event”.
But the worst may not be over yet.People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service,the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week.“Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,”said Don Oettinger,a National Weather Service meteorologist(气象学家).
Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned,“As there is too much water on the ground and flash floods are likely to happen,we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and encourage them to stay home.There’s no sense in putting yourself,firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.”
28.What are paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about
A.Climate change in Houston. B.Flood prevention in Houston.
C.Heavy floods hitting Houston. D.People fighting floods in Houston.
29.What do we know about Hurricane Harvey
A.It caused no deaths or injuries.
B.It did a lot of damage to Texas.
C.It was less serious than this week’s rain.
D.It was the biggest hurricane on record.
30.What can we learn from the weather report of the National Weather Service
A.Fine days are coming. B.It will rain a little non-stop.
C.A hurricane is unavoidable. D.Floods will continue.
31.What did Samuel suggest local people do
A.Stay indoors. B.Join firefighters.
C.Give up needless things. D.Comfort those who lost homes.

The worsening air quality in tropical cities is causing ever greater threats to people’s health and this trend will only get worse as the urbanization is progressing quickly,scientists have warned.In a newly published study,a team of researchers explain that across all the 46 cities they surveyed from Africa to Asia,they have measured significant annual increases in pollutants harmful to health.
This trend is troubling as tropical cities usually lack proper air pollution monitoring measures and policies to deal with the problem.“These cities are predicted to reach populations of up to 80 million people by 2100,so actions targeting human-related pollution are badly needed,” the scientists stress.
Already the number of people dying prematurely(过早地) from long exposure to air pollution has been on the increase and people living in cities in South Asia are the worst affected.In Dhaka,Bangladesh,some 24,000 people die of such causes each year while around 100,000 people die in Indian cities such as Mumbai,Bangalore etc.
“The number of deaths in tropical cities in Africa is still lower due to recent improvements in health care there.But the worst effects of air pollution on health will likely occur in the coming decades,” the scientists say.
The reasons for worsening air quality in tropical cities lie in increasing road traffic,waste burning,and the widespread use of coal and wood.Industry is also partly to blame.“Open burning for land clearance in the past contributed most to air pollution in the tropics,” explains Karn Vohra,an author of the study.“Our analysis suggests we’re entering a new age when some cities experience rates of air pollution in a year that others experience in a decade,” Vohra warns.
32.What is the function of the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3
A.To show the negative effect of urbanization.
B.To warn people to limit their time of going out.
C.To remind people to pay attention to their health.
D.To display the seriousness of air pollution in some tropical cities.
33.What helps the tropical cities in Africa maintain a lower death rate
A.The fast-paced urbanization.
B.The improvements in health care.
C.The proper policies dealing with air pollution.
D.The effective air pollution monitoring measures.
34.What does the underlined word “blame” in the last paragraph mean
A.Take responsibility. B.Get affected. C.Break down. D.Check out.
35.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.Air pollution is fast getting worse in tropical cities
B.The growing population is speeding up air pollution
C.Human activities lead to air pollution in tropical cities
D.It’s of great importance to increase the use of green energy

The aftermath(后果) of an earthquake can be horrible,but it is important that you are attentive and focused after an earthquake happens.Fires,gas leaks,and injuries are all dangers you might face after an earthquake. 36 By assessing the safety of your location and following the directions of local authorities,your chances of surviving the aftermath of an earthquake will be much higher.
Check yourself for injuries. 37 If you’re bleeding,lift your injury up and put pressure on it.If your injury is serious,call for help using a cellphone or try to get rescuers’ attention.
38 Use a cellphone to call for help if you have one.If you can’t use a phone,try knocking loudly on something nearby until rescuers find you.
Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes which follow the main shock of an earthquake. 39 So you should prepare to move to a safe location,like an open outdoor space or a structurally sound building.
Exit the building and go to a safer place once the shaking has stopped.The structure of the building you’re in may have been weakened by the main earthquake. 40
A.Signal for help if you are trapped.
B.They can cause significant damage.
C.Remain calm as the earthquake occurs.
D.The more prepared you are,the safer you’ll be.
E.Make sure you’re not seriously hurt before you do anything.

A man in California survived a five-hour night swim,thanks to the 41 of a friendly seal.
Scott Thompson,a boater from Southern California,was out on his boat.After realizing the weather wasn’t favorable,he turned the boat back towards land.
Soon after,something 42 happened.The boat was rocked by the wavy water and Scott got 43 out of the boat.The engines continued to run,moving the boat farther and farther away from him,which made it 44 to swim back to it.He watched his boat 45 in the middle of the icy Santa Barbara Channel.
Lost at sea,with no land in 46 ,Thompson was sure these were his 47 moments on Earth.However,thoughts of his family helped him find the 48 to survive.“Just keep 49 ,and you will get home to your family,” Thompson kept telling himself.“Just imagining my girls and my son growing up without me,and my wife not having a husband to support her,I couldn’t 50 .”
All of a sudden,he heard a big splash(拍水声).It was a medium-sized harbor seal that Thompson described as “an angel” that came to help him.“The seal would come up and 51 me,like a dog comes up and pushes your leg.” Thompson said.It was a sense of 52 ,Thompson recalled,knowing that he wasn’t alone on this heroic journey.
Being pushed along by the seal,Thompson felt 53 to swim to the nearest oil platform,which was far but closer than land.With the 54 of the seal,he swam through the dark,freezing water for five hours,until he managed to reach an oil platform.People aboard the oil platform offered aid.They rushed him to a hospital where Thompson was treated and recovered a few days later.
While the thought of his 55 motivated him to keep going,Thompson said that he would not have endured through the pain if it hadn’t been for the seal swimming alongside him.

It was May 2018,and my boyfriend,Gabe Smith,and I were driving from my home in Weyburn,to visit friends in Nelson.
At around 5:30 p.m.,we were driving along the Crowsnest Highway,a steep and winding mountain road.I was texting my mother when I happened to look up in time to see a huge tree in front of us on the highway.It was being pushed down by a torrent(洪流) of mud that was swallowing everything in its path.We didn’t know about the recent flooding in the area,and now we were trapped in it.Gabe and I looked at each other unbelievably and said,“Oh,god.” Within seconds,our car was rolling 30 meters down the cliffside(悬崖边).
I don’t know how long we were unconscious(昏迷的),but I woke up to the sound of Gabe moaning (呻吟).He lay beside me and his blood was everywhere.
Our car had landed on a small area among trees that had come down with the mudslide.On one side of us was the mountain.On the other,a steep drop of about 1,000 meters into a river.
I tried opening my door with a sharp pain in the chest.In addition,my left ankle had been broken.Gabe had broken his nose and cheek,as well as his chest bone,leaving him blind in his left eye and having difficulty in breathing.
As the doors were crashed out of shape,and my window failed to be opened,the only way out was through the driver’s side window.Although it was difficult and painful,we both managed to get out of it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请在相应位置作答。
We sat on a rock with no phone signal,realizing all we could do was shout for help.

With the help of them,we finally reached the highway at around 8:00 p.m.

New research carried out by Yale University shows that people who read a lot live longer.The researchers said reading keeps the mind active,helps reduce stress and makes us take better care of our health.The researchers said that books help the brain more than newspapers and magazines,but any kind of reading will help us to live longer.In the study,researchers looked at the lifestyles of 3,500 men and women over a 12-year period.They looked at their reading habits,health,lifestyle and their education.All of the people were at least 50 years old at the start of the research.
The study found that people who read for up to 3.5 hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die during the study’s 12-year research period than those who read no books.Those who read for more than 3.5 hours a week were 23 percent less likely to die.Researcher Becca Levy said,“Individuals over the age of 65 spend an average of 4.4 hours per day watching television.Efforts to redirect leisure time into reading books could prove to be beneficial.”

第二节
We sat on a rock with no phone signal,realizing all we could do was shout for help.Because of the pain,we could only yell from time to time.After what seemed a century,someone responded.Four bystanders had spotted our car and were wading through the mud to us.We showed great excitement.Once they arrived,two of them helped Gabe climbing up the hill.Because of my injured foot,the other two had to carry me.Sinking into the mud made it even tougher.
With the help of them,we finally reached the highway at around 8:00 p.m.Gabe was in shock.He kept slipping in and out of consciousness.They kept shocking him to keep him awake so he wouldn’t slip into a coma.When the medical helicopter finally came and airlifted us to the nearest hospital,they left without a word.The experience bounded us as a couple and made us even more positive to life.And the kindness of the strangers will always remain in our hearts.
