Last summer, his home state was destroyed by Great Derecho. He soon came up with a creative idea to raise money for his community by making and selling baseball bats out of wood brought down by the storm. 单元过关检测 The idea for the bats originally began as Tommy prepared a birthday gift for his friend. Then many others expressed interest in owning Great Derecho bats of their own. At first, Tommy didn't take it seriously, but since so many people in the area needed help after the storm, he determined to make a difference to them. 单元过关检测 The first bat took Tommy 10 hours to carve and sand (用砂纸打磨) out of a tree branch that had fallen in his yard. With blisters (水疱) on his hands, Tommy had to refuse his brother's request for making another bat. But as he began receiving more orders, he streamlined the process with a machine with the help of his grandfather. Tommy promised $20 from each order would go to the local disaster relief fund to rebuild the community. 单元过关检测 When asked why he started the “bat business”， Tommy replied, “We got kind of lucky with the storm. We didn't have much damage, but just driving around town, I saw people whose houses were destroyed, and I just wanted to raise money so we could help them rebuild. I feel like it's really helping people.” 单元过关检测 Tommy has made more than 100 bats, raising more than $2，500 to help out his community, and orders have come in from as far as Arizona and Connecticut.

How hot is a lightning bolt? About 50，000°F—five times hotter than the surface of the Sun.Yes，it really can rain frogs，fish，and other decidedly odd things.It's a rare meteorological (气象学的) event，but scientists say strong winds from a tornado or from a storm can be powerful enough to drive animals and objects high into the air, and they have to come down eventually. 单元过关检测 It is a bad idea to take a shower during a thunderstorm.If lightning hits your house，it can travel through your plumbing (管道设备) and shock anyone who comes into contact with water flowing through it.People have been shocked or killed while bathing，washing dishes and clothes.This is also why indoor pools often close during storms.Rubber tires are not what protect you from lightning when you're in your car.You're protected because when lightning hits a car，it travels around the outside of the metal structure to get to the ground.Just be careful not to touch any metal areas inside. 单元过关检测 Lightning can strike the same place twice—and it often does, especially objects that are tall，pointy, and separated.The Empire State Building，for example，is hit almost 100 times a year，according to the CDC. 单元过关检测 You can be struck by lightning even when it's not raining.About 10 percent of lightning strikes take place when there's no rainfall.In the 1980s，NASA flew one airplane through 1，496 thunderstorms.It was struck by lightning more than 700 times.Today，a commercial airplane will be hit by lightning about once a year on average，typically with no ill effects.It has been decades since a U．S.airliner has crashed as a result of a lightning strike. 单元过关检测 To deal with such a frequent phenomenon，every day，twice a day，weather trackers，at the same time, launch giant balloons from almost 900 locations worldwide.The balloons measure above ground weather data such as temperature，humidity(湿气), and wind speed, and they provide vital information that meteorologists use to make forecasts and predict lightning. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了闪电的发生频率、温度、影响，以及人们在雷暴期间应该注意的事项等。 单元过关检测 28．What can lightning lead to according to the passage?

Changing climate conditions have increased the frequency of severe storms, floods, and heatwaves, along with larger wildfires. As a result, scientists are using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for more accurate forecasts that help to reduce damage and save lives. 单元过关检测 Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have worked together with meteorologists (气象学家) to analyze more than 50，000 weather satellite images to quickly identify storms. They found comma­-shaped (逗点状的) cloud formations that often lead to severe weather such as high winds and thunderstorms. Computers were then taught using computer vision and machine learning to automatically detect these clouds from satellite images, with almost 100 percent accuracy, in less than a minute. 单元过关检测 By refocusing meteorologists' attention on potential storm cloud formations, the AI tool helped predict 64 percent of severe weather events and beat established detection systems. Senior meteorologist Steve Wistar said it let forecasters find storm formations in a sea of cloud data. “The calling of our business is to save lives and protect property, ” he said. “The more advance notice we give to people that would be affected by a storm, the better we're providing that service.” 单元过关检测 Using AI techniques generates highly accurate and inexpensive forecasts for hours or days ahead. Negative impacts from climate change on weather are being felt everywhere. The US National Climate Assessment says frequent severe events will affect communities across the nation. There were 20 separate billion­-dollar weather disaster events in 2021 alone, including wildfires, winter storms, floods, and tornadoes. “And average costs associated with extreme weather events in the 单元过关检测 United States have increased steadily since 1980，” said Renny Vandewege, a company's vice president of weather operations. “These have costly impacts on cities' basic services, housing, human livelihoods, and health. AI helps us to calculate that risk and can be used as a preventive measure.” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们正在使用人工智能技术进行更加精准的极端天气预测，以帮助减少损失、挽救更多的生命。 单元过关检测 32．Why do scientists use AI techniques for extreme weather forecasts?
