Disastrus flds in eastern Libya killed at least 5,100 peple, accrding t lcal authrities. The disaster cmes after a series f deadly flds arund the wrld this mnth, frm China t Brazil t Greece. In every case, extremely heavy rain was t blame.
The enrmus lss f life n many cntinents strengthens the extreme danger caused by climate-driven rainstrms, and the need fr better warning systems and basic facilities t prtect the mst vulnerable (脆弱的) ppulatins.
Climate change makes heavy rain mre cmmn, even in dry places where the ttal amunt f rainfall is small. That’s because a htter atmsphere can hld mre misture. Everyday rainstrm, as well as bigger strms such as hurricanes, are increasingly dangerus as a result. In Libya, a strm called Daniel swept in frm the Mediterranean ver the weekend and resulted in a jaw-drpping 16 inches f rain in just 24 hur, accrding t the Wrld Meterlgical Organizatin. That is far t much water fr the grund t absrb, especially in a dry climate where the sil is dry and is less able t suck up water quickly.
The massive amunt f rain caused widespread flash flding, and damaged at least ne dam near the castal city f Derna. That released trrents f water pwerful enugh t sweep away entire neighbrhds. In Brazil, flding frm a hurricane last week killed mre than 20 peple and left a large piece f suthern Brazil underwater. Cities arund the wrld are hurrying t imprve their basic facilities t handle increasingly cmmn heavy rain.
The disasters in the last tw weeks als stress the vulnerability t climate change f peple wh are nt wealthy r wh live in places that are at war. While extreme rain has caused flds arund the wrld recently, the number f the death is significantly higher in places where there isn’t mney r plitical will t maintain basic facilities and enugh weather warning systems.

10．Hw d the flds affect peple?
A. They lead t peple’s unin.B. They cst peple their lives.
C. They inspire peple t struggle.D. They make peple becme strng.
11．What is the text mainly abut?

Building artificial intelligences that sleep and dream can lead t mre dependable mdels, accrding t researchers wh aim t mimic (模仿) the behavir f the human brain.
Cncett Spampinat and his research members at the University f Catania, Italy, were lking fr ways t avid a phenmenn knwn as “disastrus frgetting”, where an AI mdel trained t d a new task lses the ability t carry ut jbs it previusly excelled at. Fr instance, a mdel trained t identify animals culd learn t spt different fish species, but then might lse its ability t recgnize birds. They develped a methd f training AI called Wake-Sleep Cnslidated Learning (WSCL), which mimics the way that ur brains rerganize shrt-term memries f daily learning when we are asleep.
Besides the usual training fr the “awake” phase, mdels using WSCL are prgrammed t have perids f “sleep”, where they analyze awake data frm earlier lessns. This is similar t human sptting cnnectins and patterns while sleeping.
WSCL als has a perid f “dreaming”, which invlves nvel data made frm cmbining previus cncepts. This helps t integrate previus paths f digital “neurns (神经元)”, freeing up space fr future cncepts. It als prepares unused neurns with patterns that will help them pick up new lessns mre easily.
The researchers tested three AI mdels using a traditinal training methd, fllwed by WSCL training. Then they cmpared perfrmances fr image identificatin. The sleep-trained mdels were 2 t 12 percent mre likely t crrectly identify the cntents f an image. They als measured an increase in hw much ld knwledge a mdel uses t learn a new task.
Despite the results, Andrew Rgyski at the University f Surrey, UK, says using the human brain as a blueprint isn’t necessarily the best way t bst AI perfrmance. Instead, he suggests mimicking dlphins, which can “sleep” with ne part f the brain while anther part remains active. After all, an AI that requires hurs f sleep isn’t ideal fr cmmercial applicatins.
12．WSCL was develped t help imprve AI’s ______.
A. reliabilityB. creativityC. securityD. ppularity
13．What d mdels using WSCL d during the “sleeping” perids?
A. Generate new data.B. Prcess previus data.
C. Receive data fr later analysis.D. Save data fr the “awake” phase.
14．What is paragraph 5 mainly abut?
A. The applicatin f WSCL.B. The benefits f AI research.
C. The findings f the research.D. The underlying lgic f WSCL.
15．Which best describes Andrew’s attitude twards the sleep-trained mdels?
A. Cautius.B. Prejudiced.C. Pessimistic.D. Uncncerned.

14．答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。根据第五段“The researchers tested three AI mdels using a traditinal training methd, fllwed by WSCL training. Then they cmpared perfrmances fr image identificatin. The sleep-trained mdels were 2 t 12 percent mre likely t crrectly identify the cntents f an image. They als measured an increase in hw much ld knwledge a mdel uses t learn a new task.(研究人员使用传统的训练方法测试了三个人工智能模型，然后进行了WSCL训练。然后，他们比较了图像识别的表现。经过睡眠训练的模型正确识别图像内容的可能性要高出2%到12%。他们还测量了模型在学习新任务时使用的旧知识的增加)”可知，第5段的主要内容是研究的结果。故选C。

解析：①考查代词。句意:世界卫生组织在4月7日世界卫生日之前更新了空气质量。分析句子结构可知,空处应使用形容词性物主代词its,在句中作定语修饰air quality。故填its。
②考查定语从句。句意:最新报告称,世界上99%的人口呼吸的空气超出了世卫组织的空气质量限制。分析句子结构可知,该句为限定性定语从句,先行词是air,指物,且从句中缺少主语成分,因此可使用关系代词that/which引导。故填 that 或 which
