B Learning about AI ▲ AI works by using algorithms (算法), or step-by-step instructions, to help computers understand and work with information. For example, if you wanted to teach a computer to know different types of fruits, you would give it a lot of pictures of fruits and tell it which ones are apples, bananas, and so on. The computer would then use this information to find out what new fruits are. This process is called “machine learning”. What can AI be used for? AI is already being used in many different areas. For example, AI can be used to: ●diagnose and treat diseases; ●drive self-driving cars; ●recommend movies and TV shows according to your viewing history; ●help teachers give marks to papers. The Future of AI In the future, AI may completely change many parts of our lives and help us solve some of the world’s biggest problems. However, it’s also important to remember that AI is just a tool, and it’s up to us to decide how we use it. With responsible and ethical (合乎道德的) use, AI can make the world a better place for everyone! PS: The copy above is created by AI! 1. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A. How does AI work? B. When was AI invented? C. Why is AI important? D. Who uses AI the most? 2. What does the underlined word “diagnose” probably mean? A. Spread. B. Know. C. Make. D. Cause. 3. How does AI recommend movies and TV shows? A. By guessing freely. B. By creating new movies. C. By asking your friends. D. By using your viewing history. 4. What can we learn from the passage? A. AI can make a better world if we use it correctly. B. AI isn’t a tool and it can decide how people use it. C. It’s impossible for AI to solve the biggest questions. D. AI can not help teachers mark the papers. 5. Who wrote the passage? A. A worker. B. An engineer. C. AI. D. A writer. C According to a recent study, the Middle East is warming almost twice as fast as the rest of the world. Without a doubt, high temperatures will have deep influences on the development of the area. That shows the growing risk to humans caused by extreme(极端的) weather. With more and more extreme weather events, we must find better techniques to make predictions(预测) about them.   AI is a powerful tool. It can deal with information and provide advice to help us better understand and make predictions about the weather. Traditional weather models use information from satellites(卫星). But these models have their disadvantages: they are not very exact. They also fail to discover complex conditions of the air around the earth.         AI can overcome(克服) these disadvantages by using the technology of deep learning. It can learn from historical and real-time information and produce trustworthy predictions. AI can also deal with information from different places, such as satellite photos or online posts, to provide clearer pictures of the weather situation. A paper on the Pangu-Weather AI model has drawn a lot of attention. Pangu-Weather is the first AI prediction model that is more exact than traditional weather prediction methods. This model can increase the prediction speed by 10,000 times, making global weather prediction time drop to seconds. In May 2023, Typhoon Mawar appeared in the Pacific Ocean. According to the China Meteorological Administration, Pangu-Weather made exact predictions about the direction of Mawar five days before it changed its way in the eastern waters of the islands of Taiwan. 1. Which of the following is TRUE? A. High temperatures will have few influences on the area. B. The Middle East is warming faster than the rest of the world. C. Traditional weather models can discover complex conditions of the air around the earth. D. Traditional weather models use information from satellites and are very exact. 2. How can AI overcome the disadvantages of traditional weather models? A. By using information from satellites. B. By only learning from real-time information. C. By using the technology of deep learning. D. By dealing with information from the same places. 3. Why is Typhoon Mawar mentioned? A. To show how exact Pangu-Weather’s predictions are. B. To tell us about the risks of extreme weather. C. To talk about how useless traditional weather models are. D. To express that the problems of extreme weather have been solved completely. 4. What might be the best title of the text? A. The Risks of Extreme Weather B. The Pangu-Weather AI Model C. The Climate Change in the Middle East D. AI-The Powerful Tool of Weather Prediction 4、 七选五,阅读短文，从所给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。(本大题共5分，每小题1分) We all feel stressed sometimes. Stress is a normal part of life, especially for teenagers who have to deal with schoolwork, friendships, and family expectations. A little stress can actually be helpful—it can motivate you to study for a test or prepare for a big event. 1 So how can you manage stress in a healthy way? Here are some suggestions. First, identify what is causing your stress. Is it a difficult subject at school? A problem with a friend? 2 Once you know what the problem is, you can start to think about solutions. Second, talk to someone you trust. Keeping your feelings bottled up inside can make stress worse. 3 Sharing your worries with a parent, a teacher, or a good friend can make them feel less overwhelming. Sometimes, just saying things out loud helps you see them more clearly. Third, take care of your body. Your physical health and mental health are closely connected. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep—teenagers need about 8 to 10 hours a night. Eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water. 4 Exercise releases chemicals in your brain that naturally improve your mood. Fourth, find time to relax and do things you enjoy. 5 Whether it’s reading a book, listening to music, playing a sport, or simply taking a walk outside, make sure you have time each day to do something just for you. A. But too much stress can harm your health and happiness. B. Sometimes stress comes from not knowing what to expect. C. Writing down your feelings in a journal can also be helpful. D. Regular exercise, even just a 20-minute walk, can greatly reduce stress. E. You don’t have to deal with everything on your own. F. Different people have different ways of dealing with stress. G. This doesn’t mean spending hours watching TV or scrolling through social media. 1._____________2._____________3.________________4._______________5._____________ 五、根据句意及所给中文、首字母或英文解释，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词。 1.

It has become a new trend. Video platforms offer viewers more choices. They can watch videos at 1.25x, 1.5x or even 2x speed. People want to finish watching a movie or a TV show in less time. They want to get the key part at once. Some even use a higher speed to make the movie “perfect” in their hearts. They can skip the boring parts and only enjoy the exciting ones. However, this habit brings problems. When people watch videos at a faster speed, they may miss the important messages. They can’t understand the true meaning of the movie. They lose the fun of enjoying the whole story. According to Zhang, if someone speeds up a movie while watching, their comments on the film cannot be valid. As a result, they watch videos faster to check “watched” or “listened to” on their to-do lists, instead of enjoying the movies and songs themselves. However, people don’t realize that speeded-up content sometimes destroys their patience with life. One Chinese Internet user said, “I found myself growing impatient with tasks like research work or studying for exams, which can take hours, days, or even weeks. I’d think, ‘How can I speed this up?’ And that thought really scares me.” We already live in a fast-paced society, yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect. But at what cost? Some things should remain unhurried, such as our appreciation for beauty and the value of hard work. 1. According to the passage, what do video platforms offer viewers? 2. How do people make their movies perfect? 3. When you watch videos, would you like to watch at the normal speed or speed up the content? Why? 八年级英语 第8页 共7页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
