Big storms like this are happening more often and are getting stronger. So, scientists are working hard to predict them. AI is playing an important role in this work. ② For years, scientists use computers to make models (模型) of storms. They use information from planes and satellites (人造卫星). It takes those models hours to create predictions. But AI models use lots of information from past storms to find patterns (模式). They can find rules that most humans can’t. And they can do this very quickly. AI models made true predictions about storms in just seconds, sometimes even days before they happened. ③One AI program called GraphCast predicted that Hurricane Beryl would hit Texas, while a traditional model predicted it would hit Mexico. GraphCast was right, and the team behind it won an engineering prize. ④ In September 2024, another AI program called EC-AIFS predicted that Hurricane Francine would hit Louisiana. Because it was so right, Matt Lanza, a scientist in Houston, Texas, told people in Texas that the storm wouldn’t be a problem for them. “It was really amazing,” Lanza said. ⑤ Even though AI is helpful and has made significant success, it’s still not good enough. Lanza said that AI models have trouble predicting how strong a storm will be and how much rain will fall. That’s why scientists need to use AI along with other tools. “We’re not just letting AI make the weather reports,” he said. ( )1. How are AI models different from traditional models according to Paragraph 2? [A] AI models are faster at creating predictions. [B] AI models need information only from satellites. [C] AI models need more information to make predictions. [D] It takes longer for AI models to give more true results. ( )2. What does the underlined word “significant” in Paragraph 5 mean? [A] Very funny. [B] Very similar. [C] Very common. [D] Very important. ( )3. How will the future use of AI in weather prediction be? [A] It won’t get any better than it is now. [B] It will be truer but still need help from humans. [C] It will do all the work and take human scientists’ place. [D] It will only be able to predict hurricanes, not other weather events. ( )4. What would be the best structure of the text? 六、完形填空（每小题1分，共15分） Every time I drove down our street, I noticed an old man sitting in his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking, looking rather unhappy. One day, while I was driving past him with my 1_______, I decided to wave at him with a lot of excitement. 2_______ the beginning, when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit surprised. Then I saw he 3_______ his hand and waved back. “ 4_______ did you wave at him?” my daughter asked. I told her it was just an act of kindness that didn’t 5_______ anything. It gave both him and me a feeling of joy. My daughter replied that she felt a bit uncomfortable about waving to a stranger, but she would try it. We lived close to the old man, 6_______ we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start 7_______ at him and pretty soon, the old man started waving at everyone who 8 _______his yard. One time, my daughter’s friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home wave at her very 9_______. She said that she waved back, although she didn’t know 10 _______, and it felt really good. As soon as my daughter heard this, she told her friend the 11_______ of how all the waves began. Her friend answered, “Tell your mum that’s really cool!” Other friends gave similar 12_______ . This taught my daughter that an act of kindness could be natural and 13_______if she really wanted to do it. It showed us how showing 14 _______could do good to both the giver and the receiver. Moved by the old man’s actions, we’re planning to give our waving neighbour a card to show our 15_______ for his exciting waves. We are really thankful that he shares his simple joy with others.
