Ⅰ.阅读理解
A(2026河南许昌模拟)
Beneath California lie faults(断层)—places where rocks slide past,over,under,or into one another.They move at an alarming rate until,eventually,the ground shakes violently.
Unavoidably,destructive earthquakes will rock the state.Nothing can be done to prevent them from striking.But understanding where they are likely to happen,and what sort of power they can release,means communities can prepare.In other words,the best way to reduce these future disasters is to draw maps of the underworld,charting every fault and monitoring its behavior.
To create those maps,researchers employ seismometers(地震仪).This work,historically,has been painstaking.Traditional methods of quake-hunting science were not reliable.Even the best computer programs at the time missed certain earthquakes.Zachary Ross,an assistant geophysics professor at Caltech,explains because California is so geologically active and so thoroughly covered in seismometers,there were more data than human experts alone could reasonably handle.
In 2017 Ross was inspired by machine learning programs which can handle huge sets of photos,identifying and categorizing elements within them,and with accuracy and speed that humans couldn’t match.So,he thought,why not apply a similar approach to seismology Ross and his colleagues first took seismic waveforms from genuine quakes.Then he figured out their wave patterns.Finally,he set an algorithm(算法) searching for quakes that matched those wave patterns.
The algorithm quickly identified nearly two million previously hidden tiny quakes from 2008 to 2017—which,in turn,illustrated a complex network of faults and fault features that prior quake searches were unable to see.There was a drawback,however.This program could only find earthquakes in the seismic record that it was taught to recognize.Novel seismic events went unnoticed.So Ross turned to AI tools:self-learning programs,software that could take preexisting information and make predictions about the future.
1.What’s the purpose of mapping faults in California
A.To collect more geological data.
B.To identify hidden fault networks.
C.To predict earthquake frequencies.
D.To assist residents in preparation.
2.Why were traditional quake-hunting methods unreliable
A.Some quakes went undetected.
B.Geological structure is complicated.
C.Hunting tools were not widely used.
D.Inaccuracies existed in collected data.
3.What’s the author’s attitude toward Ross’s research
A.Critical.　　　 B.Doubtful.
C.Objective. D.Supportive.
4.What might the author continue talking about
A.The application of AI tools.
B.The findings of hidden fault features.
C.The ways to reduce earthquake damage.
D.The drawback of self-learning programs.
B(2025山东枣庄二模)
As climate change continues to be a contributing factor to the frequency and intensity of disaster events,timely and effective preparedness can save lives and protect property.But according to a recent study in University of Michigan,nearly half of the young people surveyed on disaster preparedness showed they lack readiness for any type of disaster event during a period when climate-related disasters are becoming increasingly frequent.
Surveying 1,083 individuals aged 14 to 24 through text messaging,the University’s My Voice project brought to the forefront the attitudes young people hold regarding disaster preparedness.Of those surveyed,47% of the young people disclosed having no readiness planning in potential disasters,with finances and lack of resources being cited as primary reasons for their lack of readiness.
“While respondents felt there were actions they could take now to prepare for a future disaster,some were unsure of the most effective readiness approaches they and their communities could take,” said Katherine Kruger,lead author and a Ph.D.student at the U-M School of Nursing.
“Youth are significant stakeholders in developing strategies to be ready for disaster and their insights can lead to policy development that allow youth to prioritize the effective readiness strategies to reduce the potentially destructive impacts and promote individual and community resilience,” Kruger added.Inclusion of young individuals in readiness planning is crucial.They provide unique perspectives that can greatly enhance strategies designed to boost resilience(适应力) both at the individual and community levels.
The study’s findings highlight an opportunity to engage youth in readiness efforts that empower them and strengthen the larger emergency management framework.Young people’s capacities for innovation and communication are valuable assets in disaster response and recovery.
“Our research underscores the need for including young people as key stakeholders in disaster preparedness,” Kruger said.“As highlighted by the United Nations Office of Disaster Risk Reduction’s Youth Engagement Action Plan,their active contribution is indispensable.”
5.What makes disaster preparedness vital
A.The changing lifestyle of the youth.
B.The loss of natural resources.
C.The rising risks of climate change.
D.The lack of safety awareness.
6.What are nearly half of young people surveyed like
A.Unprepared. B.Dismissive.
C.Confident. D.Fearful.
7.Why is young people’s involvement crucial
A.They are creative.
B.They are innocent.
C.They are sociable.
D.They are ambitious.
8.What does the underlined word “underscores” mean in the last paragraph
A.Discovers. B.Argues.
C.Advocates. D.Emphasizes.
C(2025山东威海模拟)
The fires went on for three days continuously in the summer of 2021,burning over 13,000 hectares of western Sardinia.Mr.Poddi,a forestry expert,warns such fires are bound to become more common and intense in a warming world.So,the island is preparing.
As part of the preparations,Mr.Poddi’s team has installed 20 fire-detection sensors in the Santu Lussurgiu forest.
These sensors,which hang from branches three to four metres off the ground,collect comprehensive information,including gases,temperature,humidity,and air pressure.These data are then analyzed by AI models.If anything unusual is spotted,emergency services are alerted.
Until now,fire detection on Sardinia has relied on human sight.But usually,the fire is noticed only once it has started to spread.The sensors work more like a sense of smell,identifying the chemicals in the air caused by hidden fires before flames and smoke are visible.This allows firefighters to step in before the blaze is too large to control and to have a clearer sense of where to tackle it.
The sensors are designed to be installed every few hundred meters in high-risk fire zones.This deployment can make sensors much cheaper than alternative wildfire suppression methods.Once installed,the sensors can last for up to 15 years and can be updated remotely.
Given the differences in environments,AI models must be tailored to regional characteristics.A system for Italy may not work in Canada.Mr.Poddi says the ultimate test for Sardinia will be if the sensor networks can be deployed(部署) with equal effectiveness along the pine forests near the island’s beaches.These environments are very different from those in Santu Lussurgiu.
To truly enhance early fire detection,sensor networks will need to be installed on a large scale.Even so,their real impact will depend on how well they are integrated with other existing firefighting measures,from mapping and data-analysis tools to the ability to promptly deploy firefighters.Moreover,the risk of time-wasting false alarms from such sensitive systems is very real.Overcoming such challenges will bring significant rewards.All the various technologies can and should work together to build a strong solution.
9.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The data collected by sensors.
B.The working principles of the sensors.
C.The role of AI models in fire detection.
D.The fire prevention measures on the island.
10.What does the underlined “This” refer to
A.Detecting hidden fires.
B.Relying on human sight.
C.Spreading chemicals in the air.
D.Spotting flames and smoke.
11.Why are the pine forests mentioned in paragraph 6
A.To compare coastal and inland fire risks.
B.To show the flexibility of the sensor networks.
C.To highlight the widespread use of the sensors.
D.To prove the need for region-specific solutions.
12.How does the author view the future of the sensors
A.They can make great profits.
B.Their sensitivity needs to get improved.
C.They must work with existing measures.
D.They will replace conventional methods.

We all know that first impressions are important and that they are lasting.That’s why we work hard to make great first impressions.　13　
First impressions might overshadow your abilities.When you are hired in an organization,a set of inferences are made about you.Making inferences is human nature.If you become known for your attention to details,you may never be seen as someone who can see the big picture.If you are the person who organizes all of the birthday celebrations,you may never be seen as management material.　14　
First impressions can stamp you forever,often pre-determining the path of your career and how far you will be able to advance your career.These perceptions paint a picture of who people think you are.　15　 This,in large part,is why your careers are held back,why you become frustrated,dissatisfied and even want to leave the present position.
But it doesn’t have to come to that if you can unlock hidden aspects of your value.Talk about what you are reading or a project you are working on at home with coworkers and your manager when appropriate.This can demonstrate other skills you possess.Embrace(接受) new things and become knowledgeable about your company and industry.　16　 Volunteer in your company.It is a good way to give yourself the opportunity for others to see you in a way that is outside of your defined role.
　17　 As people get to know you better,they will recognize your diverse interests and capabilities,potentially opening new doors for career advancement.
A.Here are some useful suggestions for you.
B.Arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible.
C.Thus,you can contribute in fresh and unexpected ways.
D.It is often extremely difficult for people to change them.
E.Whatever labels,they prevent people seeing your other capacities.
F.Nevertheless,the same first impressions can block our career progress.
G.By expanding your knowledge and network,you can reshape others’ perceptions.
