A(24-25高二河南洛阳期中考试)
Weather researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) systems to improve existing weather prediction methods. But, experts say the AI tools currently face limitations and should be used along with traditional prediction methods to be most effective. AI systems trained to predict, or forecast weather events are now being used by many government agencies and organizations worldwide. Such systems aim to produce weather predictions faster and at a lower cost than traditional forecasting methods.
One weather predicting system that has shown promise is the Google-financed GraphCast method. This machine learning-based system trains directly on weather data that has already been collected and examined. Such methods have demonstrated an ability to outperform traditional forecasting systems. The system works by combining past weather predictions with modern forecasting models to provide the most complete picture of weather and climate.
In Europe, the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has been using AI prediction tools since January. The organization provides detailed weather forecasts four times per day to nations across Europe.
The ECMWF technology is called the Artificial Intelligence/ Integrated Forecasting System(AIFS). The group describes the system as a“data-driven” forecasting model. It is designed to make many predietions quickly, including for extreme events involving powerful storms and heatwaves. AI-supported data from the ECMWF correctly predicted intense rains last month across parts of Europe that resulted in widespread flooding. But while the predictions were right, destruction caused by the flooding could not be avoided.
Experts told Reuters this is largely because it is still difficult to gather and fully utilize (利用) some collected weather data. In addition, there is a need to strengthen and improve currentAI models used to predict weather.
Andrew Charlton-Perez is a professor of meteorology— the scientific study of weather processes— at the University of Reading in Britain. He told Reuters, “In some cases, AI models can beat physics-based models, but in other cases vice versa (反之亦然).” Charlton- Perez said he thinks the best use of AI-based weather forecasts would be to use them in combination with traditional weather predicting tools. This, he noted, could utilize AI data to produce weather predictions based on large sets of information collected from different sources.
1.What’s the advantage of AI weather predicting system?
A.It provides detailed weather forecasts frequently. B.It can avoid extreme events including heatwaves.
C.It can predict weather conditions faster at a low cost. D.It is used in all walks of life without limitations.
2.What is the purpose of AIFS?
A.To avoid national floods. B.To forecast disaster destruction.
C.To provide timely data. D.To predict weather events quickly.
3.What can we know about the prediction of AI-data from the ECMWF?
A.It’s perfect. B.It’s precise.
C.It’s much easier. D.It’s worldwide.
4.How can AI improve the weather forecast?
A.By combining AI with traditional methods. B.By using AI prediction tools collectively.
C.By making use of Google Graph Cast method. D.By gathering a lot of current weather data.

Researchers from the Yale Child Study Center collected 21 days of daily diaries from parents and teens from 151 families. Participating teens were in the 9th and 10th grades, and ranged from 13 to 16 years old. Slightly more female teens participated. By analyzing these diaries, the researchers could connect parents’ displays of warmth with daily fluctuations (变动) in how loved their teens were feeling. “The daily methodology is suited to providing caregivers with practical suggestions for daily life,” says Beata Ujvari, who was not involved in the study.
Regardless of the general closeness of the parent-teen relationship, the researchers found that teens reported feeling more loved on days when parents reported showing more warmth in the form of affection, understanding, or praise. Likewise, teens reported feeling less loved on days when parents reported more conflicts than usual. More importantly, the researchers also found that parents could weaken the impact of conflicts by showing their teens warmth. In their words, on days when parents were warm, high levels of conflicts didn’t reduce how loved teens felt.
To weaken conflicts’ impact, warmth had to be shown on the same day, but the warmth and conflicts did not need to be related, the researchers said.
“Parents often complain about the conflicts they are experiencing with their children,” said John Coffey, the study’s lead author, “but our study suggests conflicts are manageable.”
The study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting daily fluctuations in feeling loved are common even in long-term relationships. How parents and teens communicate and resolve conflicts may be most important to maintaining a healthy relationship in the long term, said the researchers.
“The study findings are particularly useful right now,” added Coffey, “because parents and their children are spending much time together. Finding ways to be kind and warm will help lessen potential conflicts and ensure children feel loved.”
5.What does Beata Ujvari think of the study method?
A.It is good. B.It is simple. C.It is popular. D.It is creative.
6.What does the underlined word “affection” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Care. B.Hope. C.Humor. D.Silence.
7.How can parents reduce conflicts’ effect on their teens according to the text?
A.By spending more time with their teens.
B.By displaying emotional warmth on the same day.
C.By showing understanding related to the conflicts.
D.By expressing agreement on what whatever ever their teens say.
8.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Life. B.Science. C.Culture. D.Education.
【答案】5.A 6.A 7.B 8.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了耶鲁大学儿童研究中心的研究人员收集家长和青少年21天的日记,分析发现家长表达温暖与青少年感受到的被爱程度之间的日常波动有关,家长在同一天表达温暖可以减弱冲突对孩子的影响。
5.推理判断题。根据第一段““The daily methodology is suited to providing caregivers with practical suggestions for daily life,” says Beata Ujvari, who was not involved in the study.(没有参与这项研究的Beata Ujvari说:“日常方法适合为护理人员提供日常生活的实用建议。”)”可知,Beata Ujvari认为这种日常的研究方法很适合为照顾者提供日常生活的实用建议,也就是他认为这种方法很好。故选A项。
6.词句猜测题。根据划线所在句子“Regardless of the general closeness of the parent-teen relationship, the researchers found that teens reported feeling more loved on days when parents reported showing more warmth in the form of affection, understanding, or praise.(研究人员发现,不管父母与青少年的关系是否亲密,当父母以affection、理解或赞美的形式表现出更多的温暖时,青少年会感到更被爱)”可知,affection与understanding和praise是并列关系,意思应该相近,而understanding和praise都是积极正面的词,推知affection应是“关爱”之意,符合语境,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
7.细节理解题。根据第三段“To weaken conflicts’ impact, warmth had to be shown on the same day, but the warmth and conflicts did not need to be related, the researchers said.(研究人员说,为了减弱冲突的影响,温情必须在同一天出现,但温情和冲突并不一定要联系起来)”可知,父母在同一天表现出情感上的温暖可以减少冲突对孩子的影响。故选B项
8.推理判断题。根据第一段“Researchers from the Yale Child Study Center collected 21 days of daily diaries from parents and teens from 151 families. Participating teens were in the 9th and 10th grades, and ranged from 13 to 16 years old. Slightly more female teens participated. By analyzing these diaries, the researchers could connect parents’ displays of warmth with daily fluctuations (变动) in how loved their teens were feeling. “The daily methodology is suited to providing caregivers with practical suggestions for daily life,” says Beata Ujvari, who was not involved in the study.(耶鲁儿童研究中心的研究人员从151个家庭的父母和青少年那里收集了21天的日常日记。参与调查的青少年在9年级和10年级,年龄从13岁到16岁不等。参与调查的女性青少年略多一些。通过分析这些日记,研究人员可以将父母的温暖表现与青少年每天感受到的爱的波动联系起来。没有参与这项研究的Beata Ujvari说:“日常方法适合为护理人员提供日常生活的实用建议。”)”以及通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了耶鲁大学儿童研究中心的研究人员收集家长和青少年21天的日记,分析发现家长表达温暖与青少年感受到的被爱程度之间的日常波动有关,家长在同一天表达温暖可以减弱冲突对孩子的影响,这属于家庭教育的范畴,与生活息息相关。由此推知,本文应该出现在报纸的“生活”版块。故选A项。
二、七选五(24-25四川内江期中考试)
Making good eye contact is a surprisingly difficult yet important part of good communication skills. If you want to improve your ability to look people in the eye, you can practice making eye contact on your own to give the right impression in conversations. 1
Try to relax as much as possible. The more you think about what you’re doing, the more awkward you’ll feel. Your nervousness can then be misinterpreted as dishonesty. 2 If you’re going into an important meeting or interview, do some breathing exercises. A few big, full, deep breaths can do a lot to calm you down.
3 It’s actually physically somewhat difficult to keep your eyes locked on both of another person’s eyes. It’s more common to focus on one, or on a spot on the face, rather than trying to look at both eyes at once. If it helps, try moving back and forth between the two eyes.
Break your gaze (凝视) to make other gestures while listening. 4 This looks natural as well as providing you with a needed break if necessary.
Try to keep your eyes focused while you talk as well as listen. It’s one thing to look while you’re listening. 5 Don’t be afraid if you have to break your gaze occasionally, but try to keep your face and eyes forward and up as you’re talking.
A.Focus on one eye.
B.Practice other good listening skills.
C.So staying relaxed is of particular importance.
D.Try to keep your eyes open as much as possible.

【答案】One possible version:
Embracing the Magic of Print Media
As the digital revolution sweeps through our lives, the appeal of screens and the convenience of online content have quietly caused print media to lose its charm. Peeking into our library, we’ll see newspapers gathering dust, like long-forgotten friends.
However, print media offers a unique reading experience. It encourages a slower and more reflective reading process, allowing readers to digest information more thoroughly. Besides, it endows readers with the feel of the pages, the ink smell, and the freedom to flip through pages at our own pace, which offers us an escape into another world and a deeper dive into knowledge.
Therefore, let’s bring back the joy of turning pages! Together, we can foster a culture of curiosity and lifelong learning that over weighs digital screens.

一、阅读理解
A(24-25高二河南洛阳期中考试)
Weather researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) systems to improve existing weather prediction methods. But, experts say the AI tools currently face limitations and should be used along with traditional prediction methods to be most effective. AI systems trained to predict, or forecast weather events are now being used by many government agencies and organizations worldwide. Such systems aim to produce weather predictions faster and at a lower cost than traditional forecasting methods.
One weather predicting system that has shown promise is the Google-financed GraphCast method. This machine learning-based system trains directly on weather data that has already been collected and examined. Such methods have demonstrated an ability to outperform traditional forecasting systems. The system works by combining past weather predictions with modern forecasting models to provide the most complete picture of weather and climate.
In Europe, the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has been using AI prediction tools since January. The organization provides detailed weather forecasts four times per day to nations across Europe.
The ECMWF technology is called the Artificial Intelligence/ Integrated Forecasting System(AIFS). The group describes the system as a“data-driven” forecasting model. It is designed to make many predietions quickly, including for extreme events involving powerful storms and heatwaves. AI-supported data from the ECMWF correctly predicted intense rains last month across parts of Europe that resulted in widespread flooding. But while the predictions were right, destruction caused by the flooding could not be avoided.
Experts told Reuters this is largely because it is still difficult to gather and fully utilize (利用) some collected weather data. In addition, there is a need to strengthen and improve currentAI models used to predict weather.
Andrew Charlton-Perez is a professor of meteorology— the scientific study of weather processes— at the University of Reading in Britain. He told Reuters, “In some cases, AI models can beat physics-based models, but in other cases vice versa (反之亦然).” Charlton- Perez said he thinks the best use of AI-based weather forecasts would be to use them in combination with traditional weather predicting tools. This, he noted, could utilize AI data to produce weather predictions based on large sets of information collected from different sources.
1.What’s the advantage of AI weather predicting system?
A.It provides detailed weather forecasts frequently. B.It can avoid extreme events including heatwaves.
C.It can predict weather conditions faster at a low cost. D.It is used in all walks of life without limitations.
2.What is the purpose of AIFS?
A.To avoid national floods. B.To forecast disaster destruction.
C.To provide timely data. D.To predict weather events quickly.
3.What can we know about the prediction of AI-data from the ECMWF?
A.It’s perfect. B.It’s precise.
C.It’s much easier. D.It’s worldwide.
4.How can AI improve the weather forecast?
A.By combining AI with traditional methods. B.By using AI prediction tools collectively.
C.By making use of Google Graph Cast method. D.By gathering a lot of current weather data.
B(24-25高二山东菏泽期中考试)
Researchers from the Yale Child Study Center collected 21 days of daily diaries from parents and teens from 151 families. Participating teens were in the 9th and 10th grades, and ranged from 13 to 16 years old. Slightly more female teens participated. By analyzing these diaries, the researchers could connect parents’ displays of warmth with daily fluctuations (变动) in how loved their teens were feeling. “The daily methodology is suited to providing caregivers with practical suggestions for daily life,” says Beata Ujvari, who was not involved in the study.
Regardless of the general closeness of the parent-teen relationship, the researchers found that teens reported feeling more loved on days when parents reported showing more warmth in the form of affection, understanding, or praise. Likewise, teens reported feeling less loved on days when parents reported more conflicts than usual. More importantly, the researchers also found that parents could weaken the impact of conflicts by showing their teens warmth. In their words, on days when parents were warm, high levels of conflicts didn’t reduce how loved teens felt.
To weaken conflicts’ impact, warmth had to be shown on the same day, but the warmth and conflicts did not need to be related, the researchers said.
“Parents often complain about the conflicts they are experiencing with their children,” said John Coffey, the study’s lead author, “but our study suggests conflicts are manageable.”
The study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting daily fluctuations in feeling loved are common even in long-term relationships. How parents and teens communicate and resolve conflicts may be most important to maintaining a healthy relationship in the long term, said the researchers.
“The study findings are particularly useful right now,” added Coffey, “because parents and their children are spending much time together. Finding ways to be kind and warm will help lessen potential conflicts and ensure children feel loved.”
5.What does Beata Ujvari think of the study method?
A.It is good. B.It is simple. C.It is popular. D.It is creative.
6.What does the underlined word “affection” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Care. B.Hope. C.Humor. D.Silence.
7.How can parents reduce conflicts’ effect on their teens according to the text?
A.By spending more time with their teens.
B.By displaying emotional warmth on the same day.
C.By showing understanding related to the conflicts.
D.By expressing agreement on what whatever ever their teens say.
8.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Life. B.Science. C.Culture. D.Education.
二、七选五(24-25四川内江期中考试)
Making good eye contact is a surprisingly difficult yet important part of good communication skills. If you want to improve your ability to look people in the eye, you can practice making eye contact on your own to give the right impression in conversations. 1
Try to relax as much as possible. The more you think about what you’re doing, the more awkward you’ll feel. Your nervousness can then be misinterpreted as dishonesty. 2 If you’re going into an important meeting or interview, do some breathing exercises. A few big, full, deep breaths can do a lot to calm you down.
3 It’s actually physically somewhat difficult to keep your eyes locked on both of another person’s eyes. It’s more common to focus on one, or on a spot on the face, rather than trying to look at both eyes at once. If it helps, try moving back and forth between the two eyes.
Break your gaze (凝视) to make other gestures while listening. 4 This looks natural as well as providing you with a needed break if necessary.
Try to keep your eyes focused while you talk as well as listen. It’s one thing to look while you’re listening. 5 Don’t be afraid if you have to break your gaze occasionally, but try to keep your face and eyes forward and up as you’re talking.
A.Focus on one eye.
B.Practice other good listening skills.
C.So staying relaxed is of particular importance.
D.Try to keep your eyes open as much as possible.
E.Doing so can make you a better listener and a more effective speaker.
F.It’s good to break eye contact when you’re laughing, or to nod and smile.
G.But it’s more difficult to keep eye contact while you’re also trying to say something.
