AI systems are always learning. They collect information from many places, such as our Internet activities or sensors (传感器). The more information AI has, the smarter it becomes. It can understand better, predict better, and do its job better. On the other hand, water is a must for AI to cool down. AI works hard in places called data centers, which can produce a lot of heat. Data centers are AI's brains. To prevent them from overheating, they need water to remain cool. For example, to lower the temperature of the data center in Sweden, Facebook uses a special system to provide cold water, even though Sweden is already a cold place. If you ask Chat GPT lots of questions, it might need about 0.5L of water to reduce the heat. In 2022, one company in the US used up to 19,000,000,000 liters of water for their AI systems! Therefore, companies are trying new ways to save water. In China, Alibaba builds its data center near a lake. The lake water is stored in a sealed system, so it remains clean and reusable. There is another data center under the sea in Hainan, which saves water and energy. When we say "AI is thirsty", we mean AI requires data to become more intelligent and water to cool the system, just like plants need water. As AI gets smarter, it's necessary for us to go greener and make sure the safety of our personal information. ( ) 61. AI's "thirst" for data refers to the need for ___. A. places to work in B. water to cool down C. books to learn better D. information to get smarter ( ) 62. The writer lists the numbers in Paragraph 3 to show the importance of ___. a. storing the energy b. building the center c. saving the water d. reducing the heat A. ab B. cd C. ad D. bc ( ) 63. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refers to ___. A. the water B. the center C. the system D. the sea ( ) 64. We can learn from the text that ___. A. AI stops learning when getting thirsty B. AI produces water while working C. AI requires cooling systems to work better D. AI makes our personal information safe ( ) 65. Companies can ___ to make AI more environmentally friendly. A. provide more cold water B. encourage tree planting C. improve water recycling D. increase data collection ( ) 66. You will probably read the passage ___. A. in a comic book B. on a poster C. from a novel D. from a newspaper D. 完形填空 Jack, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, always wants to explore and learn new things.
