The textbook not only pays attention to the basics of AI, but also to the practical use of AI in daily life, said Chen Yukun, a professor at East China Normal University, who is also a writer of the book.

Many industries in the future will benefit from AI technology, so the purpose of the course should be to let students learn the basic idea and methods of AI, Lin said. China has made great progress in technological research and development in recent years.

How to prepare for a wildfire
Before you can effectively prepare, it’s very important to understand how wildfires operate. Many think wildfires destroy homes because a wall of flames(火焰)moves across the landscape. 19 . Now that you know what a wildfire is, here’s how you can protect your home and your family.
20
Creating a defensible space around your home acts as a barrier against wildfire flames. Home hardening involves constructing with fire-resistant materials. Investing $10,000 to $20,000 in these measures significantly reduces the chance of a home being ravaged by a wildfire, lowering risk by 75%.
Remove dead tree branches
Similar to dry or bagged leaves, dead tree branches are dry, which means they, too, can catch fire quickly. If you have any hanging from trees or laying in your yard, remove them ASAP (尽快). The same rule applies when removing dead tree branches: 21 .
Create an evacuation (撤离)plan
Families should go over an evacuation plan and practice it well before an emergency actually occurs. Knowing when to leave and being able to go quickly is crucial during an evacuation scenario. 22 . Then plan your primary and alternative evacuation route, and assemble emergency supplies and store them where you can get to them quickly.
Make sure gutters(水槽)are made of metal
23 . Fix metal gutter covers to reduce leaf litter and windblown debris. This will ensure that things don’t burn in them and spread fire to your home. Don’t pressure-wash gutters; it can damage them or pull them off your house.
A．Do not store them close to the house
B．Replace plastic gutters with metal ones
C．Things we all have are around our homes
D．It’s important to keep away from wildfire
E．Build defensible space s and harden your home
F．Set a meet up destination for all family members first
G．Actually, it’s tiny wind-blown things that destroy most of them

F．Set a meet up destination for all family members first
G．Actually, it’s tiny wind-blown things that destroy most of them实际上是微小的风吹物摧毁了他们
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了预防野火几个准备措施。
16．根据空后内容“Now that you know what a wildfire is, here’s how you can protect your home and your family.(现在你知道了什么是野火，下面是你如何保护你的家和你的家人。)”可知，上文解释了何谓野火。选项G“Actually, it’s tiny wind-blown things that destroy most of them(实际上，是被风吹来的小东西摧毁了它们中的大部分)”延续空前内容“Many think wildfires destroy homes because a wall of flames(火焰)moves across the landscape.(许多人认为野火会摧毁房屋，因为一堵火焰墙会穿过地面。)”，解释了野火的具体含义。故选G。
17．空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Creating a defensible space around your home acts as a barrier against wildfire flames. Home hardening involves constructing with fire-resistant materials. Investing $10,000 to $20,000 in these measures significantly reduces the chance of a home being ravaged by a wildfire, lowering risk by 75%.(在你家周围创造一个可防御的空间，作为抵御野火的屏障。房屋加固包括用耐火材料建造。在这些措施上投资1万到2万美元，可以显著降低房屋被野火破坏的几率，将风险降低75%。)”可知，本段主要建议我们建造一个防御空间。选项E“Build defensible space s and harden your home(建造可防御的空间，加固你的家)”符合本段主要内容，故选E。
18．根据上文“Similar to dry or bagged leaves, dead tree branches are dry, which means they, too, can catch fire quickly. If you have any hanging from trees or laying in your yard, remove them ASAP.(与干燥或袋装叶子类似，枯死的树枝也很干燥，这意味着它们也会很快着火。如果你有挂在树上或躺在你的院子里，尽快把它们移走。)”可知，枯死的树枝很干燥，容易着火，所以要把枯死的树枝移走。空前“The same rule applies when removing dead tree branches(同样的规则也适用于移除枯枝：)”可知，把枯死的树枝移走这个规则也适用于移除枯枝，也就是不要放在院子里。选项A“Do not store them close to the house(不要在房子附近存放)”符合上文内容，故选A。
19．根据上文“Knowing when to leave and being able to go quickly is crucial during an evacuation scenario.(在疏散场景中，知道什么时候离开并能够快速离开是至关重要的。)”可知，在疏散时快速离开很重要。选项F“Set a meet up destination for all family members first(首先为所有家庭成员设定一个见面地点)”是上文内容的具体阐述，指的是在演习疏散场景时应该首先明确见面地点；而且，选项F中的“first”也和下文“Then plan your primary and alternative evacuation route, and assemble emergency supplies and store them where you can get to them quickly.(然后计划好你的主要和备用疏散路线，并将应急物资储存在你可以快速到达的地方。)”中的“then”保持一致。故选F。
20．根据下文“Fix metal gutter covers to reduce leaf litter and windblown debris. This will ensure that things don’t burn in them and spread fire to your home.(固定金属水槽盖，以减少落叶和风吹的碎片。这将确保东西不会在里面燃烧，并将火蔓延到你的家。)”可知，空处提到了金属水槽。选项B“Replace plastic gutters with metal ones(用金属水槽代替塑料水槽)”符合小标题“Make sure gutters(水槽)are made of metal(确保排水沟是由金属制成的)”内容，同时引出下文内容。故选B。
