B On a cold winter night,two beagles,Pepper and Cooper,walked along a snowy road in Bethel,Ohio.They had no home and needed a safe,warm place to rest.Pepper,the female dog, was pregnant,and Cooper stayed close to protect her. Gus Kiebel,a wildlife officer,was driving home when he saw the dogs in the snow.He noticed they wore collars with name tags.Gus stopped his truck and gently approached them. The dogs didn't try to run away.He read their names and tried calling the number on their tags, but the snow made it hard to use his phone. 英语试卷 第4页共12页 Gus decided to take the dogs into his truck to keep them warm.He called the number again, but the owner said he didn't want the dogs anymore.Realizing they were abandoned,Gus called his wife,Katie.She told him to bring them home because they couldn't leave the dogs outside in the storm. That night,Gus and Katie gave the dogs food,water,and a warm bed on their porch.The two beagles stayed close to each other,showing how much they cared for one another.Although Gus had always wanted beagles,the couple already had a family dog and couldn't keep Pepper and Cooper. The next day,Gus contacted a no-kill animal shelter.Katie brought the dogs there but made the staff promise to keep them together.She called often to check on them,glad to hear they were safe and cared for.A few days after Christmas,the shelter told her Pepper and Cooper had been adopted as a pair by a loving family.In the middle of a snowy winter,two abandoned dogs found a warm home,thanks to the kindness of strangers. 29.How did Gus realize Pepper and Cooper had been left behind?

A.Warm Place in the Snow B.Snowstorm and Poor Dogs C.A Helping Hand in the Cold D.Gus and the Beagles'Journey Q A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems. At present,weather forecasts are made through many difficult steps,each taking hours. These systems need supercomputers and large teams of experts to develop and keep them working. However,Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from weather stations,satellites,weather balloons,ships,and planes around the world to make predictions.This promises improvements in forecast speed,correctness,and cost,according to 英语试卷 第5页共12页 research published in Nature by the University of Cambridge,the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research,and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ECMWF). Professor Richard Turner from the University of Cambridge explained that this new method can quickly create specialized forecasts for different industries or locations.For example,it could guess temperatures for farms in Africa or wind speeds for wind energy companies in Europe.Traditional weather systems require large teams and supercomputers to deal with data and create forecasting models,taking hours for just one forecast. "This is a totally different method,"Turner said,adding that the model would finally be able to provide correct eight-day forecasts,compared to the present five-day limit,and offer more localized predictions. Dr.Scott Hosking from the Alan Turing Institute said that this breakthrough could make weather forecasting available to more countries,especially developing countries.It will also help governments,emergency teams,and businesses that need weather predictions. Dr.Anna Allen,the lead author of the paper,highlighted that this research could improve forecasts of natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires,as well as problems like air quality and sea ice predictions. Aardvark builds from research from Huawei,Google,and Microsoft,replacing a key step in the traditional method with Al,which makes forecasts faster and more correct.It is already in use at the ECMWF. Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10%of the data used by present systems,yet in some areas,it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the correctness of the US Weather Service. 33.What is the main advantage of the new AI weather prediction method? A.It depends on supercomputers. 4 B.It requires large teams of experts. C.It predicts for longer periods of time. D.It works faster with less computing power. 34.What makes the new weather prediction model different from traditional systems? A.It mainly predicts weather for developed countries. B.It can hardly predict natural disasters and air quality. C.It gathers data from different sources across the world. D.It only pays attention to specific industries like agriculture. 35.What can we infer about the new weather prediction method? A.It doesn't need human effort. B.It is more expensive to use. C.It requires less data to work. D.It doesn't develop specialized forecasts. 36.What is the purpose of the article? A.To describe weather forecasting history.B.To introduce a new Al weather model. C.To criticize traditional weather systems.D.To explain the role of supercomputers. 英语试卷 第6页共12页 D was Christmas Eve,and Ebenezer Serooge was in his ofice.counting money.Serooge was a lonely,greedy man who cared only about wealth.When his nephew Fred came to wish hima Merry Christmas,Serooge replied coldly: "Bah!Humbug!Christmas is just a waste of time!"
