仿佛世界末日即将来临!
句型公式
(It seems) as if…似乎/好像……
考点互动探究
31
【句式点拨】
as if/though既可以引导表语从句,也可以引导方式状语从句,意为“仿
佛,好像”。as if/though从句所表示的情况是事实或具有很大可能性
时,通常用陈述语气;当其所表示的情况不是事实,而是主观的想象或夸
大的比喻时,通常用虚拟语气,其从句时态变化如下:#4.1
与现在事实相反 从句谓语用一般过去时(be动词用were)
与过去事实相反 从句谓语用过去完成时“had+过去分词”
与将来事实相反 从句谓语用“would/could/might do”结构

[温馨提示]当as if/though从句主语与主句主语一致,且从句中含
有be动词时,可直接保留分词、形容词、介词短语等。

Scientists have revealed most of the basics about
earthquakes: tectonic plates (构造板块) move, causing strain
energy (应变能) to build up, and that energy eventually releases
in the form of an earthquake. However, forecasting earthquakes
remains a significant challenge, which was evidenced by the

2011 great Tohoku earthquake. In addition to causing a tsunami
that led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it resulted in more
than 18,000 deaths.
In recent years, researchers have been trying to figure out
a possible relation between the sun and earthquakes. Based on
a previous study that connected solar activity with earthquakes,
a study conducted by researchers from the University of
Tsukuba (UT) cast light on this possibility, confirming that
sunspot numbers had some influence on earthquakes and
Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, played a role.

“Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which
in turn can affect things like rock properties and underground
water movement,” said Junqueira Saldanha, leader of the
research team. “Such changes can make rocks tend to break
apart. For example, the changes in rainfall and snowmelt can
affect the pressure on tectonic plate boundaries. While these
factors may not be the main drivers of earthquakes, they could
still be playing a role that can help to predict earthquakes.”

Among other findings, the researchers used mathematical
and computational methods to analyse earthquake data
alongside solar activity records and surface temperatures on
Earth. They observed that when they included Earth surface
temperatures into their model, the forecasting became more
accurate, especially for shallow earthquakes. “That makes sense,
since heat and water mostly affect the upper layers of Earth's
crust (地壳),” said Saldanha.

The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the
surface of Earth does affect earthquakes, however minutely, and
that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth
temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts. “It's an
exciting direction, and we hope our study can decipher the
bigger picture of what causes earthquakes,” said Saldanha.#1.1.5

Google used its artificial intelligence-powered weather
forecasting tools to precisely predict floods up to a week in
advance of their happening. In a new paper published in the
scientific journal Nature, Google's researchers describe this as an
early warning system that could be used throughout the world,
not only to predict or recognize natural disasters but also to
buffer the worst effects of what is one of the most common
types of natural disasters.

Flooding can be difficult to accurately predict, particularly
riverine floods, due to a lack of resources and data related to
flood history, water levels, and terrain (地形). AI use in weather
forecasting is nothing new. Still, the rise of more powerful
processors and larger data sets is allowing for new scales of
prediction, including a new NVIDIA digital Earth.
A small percentage of global rivers have streamflow gauges
(测量仪) which can be used to warn people if the volume of
water flowing through the river changes. When combined with
1

other points such as the local terrain, settlements near the river,
weather forecasting, and historical events on the same river,
data can be used to predict flooding. Google's researchers
gathered as much global data as they could access and trained
new AI models to analyse them. Afterwards, those models could
then make predictions for those regions where data might be
considerably limited or even nonexistent.
The team launched a Flood Hub platform, which provided
access to forecasts in 20 countries where flood forecasting had

been difficult in the past. The platform collected seemingly
unrelated information which was available locally, fed it into the
AI system as a reminder, and ordered the AI to fill in the gaps
and then classify data. So far Flood Hub has been expanded to
80 countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas,
covering over 460 million people globally, particularly those in
communities suffering from flooding. “Where possible, we also
provide forecasts in Google Search and Google Maps and via
Android warnings,” the Google team declared.#6

This morning, I asked Mum to take me to the pool. But

interview at the radio station. Still, I asked, “Couldn't Julie watch
them instead?”

“She can help, Jess, but she's only ten. I'll feel better with a
fifteen-year-old in charge, honey.” Mum gave me a hug and off
she went.
So there I was, stuck watching my five-year-old sister Lyssa
and three-year-old brother Dougie. I usually don't mind
watching the kids, but the problem was our little rented trailer
house (拖车房屋). It's like living in a barbecue cooker on hot
days. Well, as is said, “What is, is.” and I decided to make the
best of it.

We moved out into the front yard and I filled a paddling
pool for the kids. I noticed that the sky looked a little strange—
greenish-yellow, with grey clouds rising for miles—but I didn't
think anything of it. As kids jumped in the pool, I settled down
to read my magazine. I put on headphones and turned the
volume up loud enough to block out their noise. Before long I
got lost in a cool story.
I was almost at the end when Julie came over to me and
she pointed upwards. Not only had the clouds moved towards

us, but they were swirling (打旋). I hadn't realized how much
the wind had picked up. A huge, grey-black funnel (漏斗)
snaked down from the sky to the ground—a real, live tornado!
And it headed our way at high speed!
Though I had learned about tornado safety, at that moment,
the only thing I could remember was that a tornado develops
fast and that trailer houses are the worst place to take shelter. I
tried hard to remember other safety tips. Get low. Yeah. If
you're caught outside, find the lowest spot. Scanning around,
my eye stopped on a line of bushes.

But in a couple of minutes, the tornado was over. The
howling wind gradually died down, and the debris stopped
flying. I slowly lifted my head and looked around. The world
seemed a bit surreal. Trees were uprooted, and parts of the
trailer house were scattered. We climbed out of the ditch. The
kids were shaken but unhurt. I felt a huge sense of relief
