Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable，thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities．Researchers at the University of Texas，Austin，created an AI model that，during a test run in China，correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity．
The researchers attribute their technique's effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine learning framework．The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team's knowledge of earthquake physics，and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings．Once trained，the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet's low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声)．
The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震的) events．According to Alexandros Savvaidis，a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network，“Seismic occurrences strike without warning，often in the blink of an eye．Your readiness is all you can influence．Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes，reducing both the financial burden and loss of life，and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide．”
Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain，the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities．Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas，where the University of Texas's TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years' worth of continuous records，making it an ideal location for these purposes．
Ultimately，the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models．This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data．“That may be a long way off，but many advances such as this one，taken together，are what moves science forward，” concludes Scott Tinker，the bureau's director．
1．How does the AI predict seismic events？( )
A．It identifies data from the satellites．
B．It analyzes background sounds in the Earth．
C．It models data based on earthquake recordings．
D．It monitors changes in the Earth's magnetic field．
2．What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3？( )
A．The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes．
B．The importance of preparing for earthquakes．
C．The significance of developing the AI prediction．
D．The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction．
3．What does the subsequent research focus on？( )
A．Conducting tests in different locations．
B．Applying the AI approach to other fields．
C．Building more earthquake stations in Texas．
D．Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy．
4．Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology？( )

Panic attacks cause a sudden intense fear when no danger is present or there is no identifiable trigger (诱因)．This fear activates the body's emergency system，causing the physical fight or flight reactions． 1
Learn to be flexible．
If you are sitting on the couch watching TV and you start to feel a panic attack，don't continue to sit there and think about it．Get up and do something else！Leave your desk and apply some cold water to your face．Call a friend．Or just leave the house to get some fresh air． 2
Work out．
When feeling panic，it can be effective to match the intensity of the anxiety with physical exercise．Just go outside，walk energetically around the block，or walk up and down the stairs until the feeling passes．Gentle exercise is less effective while intense exercise can make it difficult to think about anything else． 3 People tend to tense their muscles when having anxiety and panic．
Breathe properly．
4 Naturally，people may breathe deeper and then make the situation worse．So do it slowly through your nose by pushing your abdomen (腹部) out for 5－7 seconds．Hold your breath for a few seconds and then breathe it out through your mouth slowly．
5
Pick something objective and study it deeply．Then describe every detail of it．When you finish one item，move on to describe other items．For example，what is the leaf like？Does it have smooth edges？What is its color？Are some new leaves coming out？This exercise can help bring you back to the moment and away from focusing on physical sensations．
A．Shift your focus．
B．Enhance muscle building．
C．Incorrect breathing can lead to shortness of breath．
D．Physical exercise can also help your muscles relax．
E．If not controlled，they can be terrifying and life-changing．
F．So use these tools to measure it when a panic attack starts．
G．In a word，don't remain in the same environment whenever possible．

(2025年1月·八省高考适应性考试)
I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel． A nearby theater was showing a documentary(纪录片)about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country． I love animals，and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event． However，none of my co-workers would go with me，and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night．
I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room，but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored． The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel，and the area around the hotel didn't seem particularly dangerous． So，I decided to brave it． I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off．
It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted． I managed to find the street the theater was on，but when I turned the corner，I stopped in shock． In front of the theater were a group of bikers—very big，tough-looking bikers．
I've known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people． However，in this case，I was a woman all alone，in a strange neighborhood，at night，and there were twenty or so very large men—all wearing insignia (徽章)that indicated they were in some sort of club—standing before me． Warning bells began to sound in my head，and my heart was pounding．Was I at the right theater Had I misread the date of the event
A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening．Nevertheless，I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers． I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater． Hopefully，the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over．
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
I hurried into the theater，only to find there were even more bikers inside．__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the film began，I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group．__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ⅰ．阅读理解(限时7分钟)
(2024·河南开封三模)
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable，thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities．Researchers at the University of Texas，Austin，created an AI model that，during a test run in China，correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity．
The researchers attribute their technique's effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine learning framework．The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team's knowledge of earthquake physics，and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings．Once trained，the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet's low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声)．
The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震的) events．According to Alexandros Savvaidis，a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network，“Seismic occurrences strike without warning，often in the blink of an eye．Your readiness is all you can influence．Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes，reducing both the financial burden and loss of life，and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide．”
Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain，the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities．Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas，where the University of Texas's TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years' worth of continuous records，making it an ideal location for these purposes．
Ultimately，the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models．This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data．“That may be a long way off，but many advances such as this one，taken together，are what moves science forward，” concludes Scott Tinker，the bureau's director．

(2024·安徽合肥模拟)
Panic attacks cause a sudden intense fear when no danger is present or there is no identifiable trigger (诱因)．This fear activates the body's emergency system，causing the physical fight or flight reactions． 1
Learn to be flexible．
If you are sitting on the couch watching TV and you start to feel a panic attack，don't continue to sit there and think about it．Get up and do something else！Leave your desk and apply some cold water to your face．Call a friend．Or just leave the house to get some fresh air． 2
Work out．
When feeling panic，it can be effective to match the intensity of the anxiety with physical exercise．Just go outside，walk energetically around the block，or walk up and down the stairs until the feeling passes．Gentle exercise is less effective while intense exercise can make it difficult to think about anything else． 3 People tend to tense their muscles when having anxiety and panic．
Breathe properly．
4 Naturally，people may breathe deeper and then make the situation worse．So do it slowly through your nose by pushing your abdomen (腹部) out for 5－7 seconds．Hold your breath for a few seconds and then breathe it out through your mouth slowly．
5
Pick something objective and study it deeply．Then describe every detail of it．When you finish one item，move on to describe other items．For example，what is the leaf like？Does it have smooth edges？What is its color？Are some new leaves coming out？This exercise can help bring you back to the moment and away from focusing on physical sensations．
A．Shift your focus．
B．Enhance muscle building．
C．Incorrect breathing can lead to shortness of breath．
D．Physical exercise can also help your muscles relax．
E．If not controlled，they can be terrifying and life-changing．
F．So use these tools to measure it when a panic attack starts．
G．In a word，don't remain in the same environment whenever possible．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了应对恐慌发作的方法。
1．E [上文“This fear activates the body's emergency system，causing the physical fight or flight reactions．”说明恐惧会引发身体的应急系统，从而导致生理上的战斗或逃跑反应。空处总结前文，说明这样会产生的后果。E项承接上文，说明如果恐慌发作所造成的应激反应得不到控制可能会带来的危害；选项中的代词“they”指代前文中的“physical fight or flight reactions”，由此可知，E项符合语境。]
2．G [本段上文说明在感到恐慌时采取行动，比如离开沙发去做其他事情、用冷水洗脸、给朋友打电话或出门透气。空处总结前文，说明要灵活地面对各种带给我们恐惧的环境。G项符合语境。]
3．D [空前两句说明运动能够缓解恐惧。空处承上启下，D项中的“Physical exercise”和主题句“Work out．”相呼应，“help your muscles relax”和下文中的“tend to tense their muscles”相呼应，说明体育锻炼也可以帮助你的肌肉放松，因为当人们感到焦虑和恐慌时，往往会使肌肉紧张。故选D。]
4．C [下文“Naturally，people may breathe deeper and then make the situation worse．”说明人们的呼吸方式可能是不正确的。空处是对不正确呼吸后果的说明，与接下来的呼吸指导相契合。所以C项符合语境。]
5．A [根据下文可知，本段建议转移注意力。选择一个客观物体进行深入观察并描述细节，完成一个项目后，继续描述其他项目，以此来引导思维远离身体感受；所以A项能够概括本段主旨，适合作本段的小标题。]

7．rarely [考查词性转换。修饰动词，所以用副词，故填rarely。]
8．which [考查非限制性定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词为“The mysterious ancient roads”，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，故填which。]

(2025年1月·八省高考适应性考试)
I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel． A nearby theater was showing a documentary(纪录片)about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country． I love animals，and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event． However，none of my co-workers would go with me，and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night．
I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room，but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored． The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel，and the area around the hotel didn't seem particularly dangerous． So，I decided to brave it． I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off．
It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted． I managed to find the street the theater was on，but when I turned the corner，I stopped in shock． In front of the theater were a group of bikers—very big，tough-looking bikers．
I've known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people． However，in this case，I was a woman all alone，in a strange neighborhood，at night，and there were twenty or so very large men—all wearing insignia (徽章)that indicated they were in some sort of club—standing before me． Warning bells began to sound in my head，and my heart was pounding．Was I at the right theater Had I misread the date of the event
A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening．Nevertheless，I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers． I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater． Hopefully，the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over．
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
I hurried into the theater，only to find there were even more bikers inside．__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the film began，I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group．__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
I hurried into the theater，only to find there were even more bikers inside. My heart sank and I felt a bit panicked． But I noticed that they were all very orderly． Some were chatting quietly about the dogs they had rescued． I took a deep breath and found an empty seat as faraway from them as possible． I was still a bit nervous but tried to calm myself down，waiting for the film to start．
When the film began，I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. They were here for the same reason as me—to support the local animal shelters． I felt so ashamed of my initial fear． As the film played，I saw their efforts in saving the abandoned dogs． They were so passionate and kind． After the film，I went up to them and apologized for my misjudgment． They just laughed and said it was okay． We even exchanged contact information to keep in touch about future animal-saving activities．
