California, America Using AI to stop fires California uses AI to report wildfires. The AI can find smoke and fire. It uses over a thousand cameras in forests across the state.

They not only cause property(财产) loss but also take away people's lives. Strong winds can be very terrible. On March 31st, 2024, strong winds hit Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. The strong winds broke the windows into pieces and blew off three people sleeping at home, causing their deaths. What's worse, more than 1，600 trees were blown down overnight. This deadly disaster was mainly caused by funnelling(狭管效应). When the earthquake happens, the ground and buildings will shake terribly. In serious situations, buildings may even fall down and will bury people in the ground. Recently, in Taiwan, the most powerful earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island on April 3rd. At least nine people were killed and hundreds of people were hurt. Another example is rainstorms. They can flood many places. Dubai lies on the coast of the Persian Gulf and in the northeast of the U．A.E. with a long and beautiful coastline. It doesn't rain a lot. But on April 16th, a big rainstorm hit Dubai. It rained so much in just 12 hours that it was like a year's worth of rain. The heavy rain flooded roads, shopping malls, and even airports, causing a lot of damage(破坏). To better deal with natural disasters, we need to make our disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief coordination system(防灾减灾救灾协调机制) better. Also, people should learn ways to protect themselves when facing natural disasters. But most importantly, we should realize that we are not the masters of nature and need to care about it and respect(尊重) it. 4. How many pieces of news about natural disasters are mentioned? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 5. What kind of damage can an earthquake probably cause? A. It can blow down a lot of trees overnight. B. It can make buildings fall and kill people. C.

C(2025宿迁沭阳期末) Nature's Warnings(警告) When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are frightening. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don't wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe. Safety Steps At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed(棚屋) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe. Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be. Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity, either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don't! It is better to be bored than to get hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games. If you can't get to somewhere safe, crouch low in a ditch or depression(洼地). You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning strikes tall objects like poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can hurt your hearing. Lightning Strikes(雷击) Lightning does not strike people very often. You will almost never see that happen. If you do, call 120. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lightning. If you follow these rules, you will stay safe during a storm. 8. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________． A. storms are frightening and dangerous B. storms often come without warnings C. people should wait and watch lightning D. people should take action after the storm 9. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”． A. a building B. a shed C. a car D. a room 10. What is the safest place for us to stay? a. A room with many windows when we're indoors. b. A ditch or depression in an open area. c. Under a big tree when we're in the open. d. A room with no windows. A. ab B. bc C. cd D. bd 11. Where can we read this passage? A. In a story magazine. B. In a travelling magazine. C. In a science magazine. D. In a sports magazine. D(2025无锡期末) A tornado is a tower of spinning air. Tornadoes can be very dangerous. The cause of tornadoes is not fully known. They form during thunderstorms. Inside the stormy clouds, warm air rises and cool air falls. The warm and cool air can begin to spin. This spinning air can push out of the storm clouds as a funnel. When the funnel of spinning air touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. There are three levels of tornadoes. Weak tornadoes have wind speeds that are below 160 km/h. They last for less than ten minutes. They cause small damage like fallen tree branches. Strong tornadoes have wind speeds that are between 177 km/h and 330 km/h and can last about twenty minutes. These tornadoes can cause quite a bit of damage and can push cars and trains over. The most dangerous tornadoes are called violent tornadoes. They can last for longer than an hour and have wind speeds that are higher than 330 km/h. These deadly tornadoes can lift houses and cars into the air. Tornadoes and cyclones are very different. Tornadoes form on land and cyclones form on the ocean. Tornadoes can be a few kilometres wide. The biggest cyclones can be hundreds of kilometres across. Some people set up a safe room in a basement. They get a radio, water, sleeping bags and extra food. They also keep their house and garden clean by getting rid of dead trees or weak fences. If a tornado alert is given, get your safe room ready. Do not go outside or near windows. Hide under a large bed or table. Get out of your trailer or car. If you are outside with no shelter, seek a dry depression. Crouch down and protect your neck and head with your arms. Once the tornado is over, turn on the radio. Avoid any damaged areas and do not go near any fallen power lines. 12. What can we learn about tornadoes? A. Tornadoes usually happen on sunny and windy days. B. Tornadoes happen when the storm clouds touch the ground. C. Tornadoes can be hundreds of kilometres across the land. D. Tornadoes can take houses and cars into the air sometimes. 13. The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of ________： “There are many different ways to prepare for a tornado.” A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 14. The meaning of the underlined word “spinning” might be ________． A. rotating B. blowing C. rising D. falling 15. What's the purpose of the article? A. To introduce tornadoes to us. B. To show us the danger of tornadoes. C. To tell the differences of natural disasters. D. To give us some tips to protect ourselves. 第二节(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2025无锡梁溪期末)Earthquakes are one of the most serious natural disasters. __16__ It is a good way recommended by emergency management organizations(应急管理组织) in many countries.

There is not much time to think. People need to act quickly. The following rules will be helpful： Shout out If you smell smoke or see fire, shout out “Fire！” Shout as loudly as you can to wake people up. Call 119 Never try to put out a fire by yourself, even if it is a very small one! Get help from your parents or call 119. Keep down close to the floor If there is a lot of smoke in your room, keep down close to the floor. There is less smoke down there. It is easier to breathe(呼吸) and see where you are going. Take a wet towel to protect yourself from the fire and smoke. Check the door Check the door before you open it. Touch it with the back of your hand. If the door is cool, open it carefully. If the door is hot, do not open it. Get out If you can, get out of your home as quickly as you can. Don't stop to pick up anything. A fire can become very big in a few seconds! Don't use the lift Never use the lift during a fire. Always use the stairs(楼梯). A lift may stop at a floor where the fire is burning. It may also go wrong and keep you inside. Don't go back Never go back into a building on fire! Even if you have left your pet or favourite toy inside, do not go back for it. 1. Why should you shout loudly if you smell smoke or see fire? ______________________________________________________________________ 2.

Exactly, the more we care about our own safety, the more happily we'll live. Among all of the dangerous things around us, I think we should notice the fire safety most. As a student, we can join in some activities to tell not only our neighbours but also strangers a lot about how to prevent it from happening. If there is a fire, it is better to run out of the building on fire as quickly as we can. We should call the firemen for help at once. When something terrible happens, calming down seems more important. Safety comes first. Hope everyone will be safe all year round. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
