Scientists say they've developed a system using machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike.The research was led by engineers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne,Switzerland.
   European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year.The strikes can also cause power outages,destroy property,damage electrical equipment and start forest fires.For these reasons,climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightnjye.aig.In the United States and other places,ground-based sensing devices are used to identify strikes as they happen.But,no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.
   The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods.The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.
   The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas.The data related to four main surface conditions:air pressure,air temperature,relative humidity and wind speed.
   The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm(算法),which compared it to records of lightning strikes.Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.
   Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the development of the method.He said,"current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites."
   "Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station," Mostajabi said. "This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellites or in places where communication systems have been cut," he added.
   The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection system.The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project.

  • 1.Each year on Halloween,children look forward to trick-or-treating (不請客就搗亂) for candies.But for some kids,eating Halloween candies can be dangerous.
       That's because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy(過敏癥).They are allergic to ingredients(成分)in many Halloween candies,such as peanuts,tree nuts,milk,eggs,and beans.If they eat these foods,they will get sick or even die.
       "I had to throw away all my candies with tears," eight-year-old Conlen said.Conlen is allergic to peanuts,tree nuts,and dairy.Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.She has been trick-or-treating only twice. "I brought my candies home and gave them to the neighbors," Kylie said. "It felt terrible."
       But this year,Conlen,Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a chance for a happy Halloween.That's because nearly 100,000 households across the US have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project(TPP),which was started last year by Food Allergy Research & Education(FARE).FARE is an organization that works to improve the lives of people with food allergies.Through the project,the households agree to have nonfood items for trick-or-treaters,including trinkets(小飾品) and toys.
       To take part in the project,people buy a teal(藍綠色) pumpkin or paint a pumpkin teal and place it in front of their house.The painted pumpkins let trick-or-treaters know that nonfood items are available there.The households also add their home addresses to an online map,making it easier for trick-or-treaters to find them.
       Kylie loves the idea."The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe," she said."It makes me feel like a normal kid,and it makes everyone feel included."

    (1)To Conlen and Kylie,the past Halloween were

    A.upsetting and dangerous
    B.interesting and special
    C.sick and terrible
    D.important and exciting
    (2)According to the passage,we know that FARE

    A.helps people with food allergies recover
    B.helps the households take part in the TPP
    C.takes action to change kids' bad eating habits
    D.helps kids with food allergies have a happy Halloween
    (3)The households help kids with food allergies by

    A.giving them teal pumpkins as gifts
    B.offering them all kinds of food except candies
    C.providing them with trinkets and toys as treats
    D.a(chǎn)sking them for home addresses and sending them gifts
    (4)Where is the passage most probably taken from?

    A.A magazine about the history of festivals.
    B.A news report on cultures and customs.
    C.An advertisement for an organization.
    D.A research paper on kid's health.

  • 3.Besides the excitement of travel,one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs,holidays,foods,art,music,and politics first-hand.
       "I learned the language and am now fluent,but perhaps what's more important is how much I learned about cultures,people,and myself.I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family,not from the tourist's point of view," says Andrew,who studied in Poitiers,F(xiàn)rance.
       Another reason for studying abroad is that you'll gain self-confidence.Christina studied in Caracas,Venezuela,a city of more than 3 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000!Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language.What could make you more confident than that?
       Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition(過渡)to college and adulthood.Mathew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that made him different from his peers(同齡人). "After having gone abroad in high school,I found the transition to college a breeze—moving 560 miles from home didn't seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away."
       Most of all,it's fun while you're studying in a different learning environment.

    (1)What is the passage mainly about?

    A.Learning a language.
    B.The excitement of travel.
    C.Living in a foreign country.
    D.The benefits of studying abroad.
    (2)What did Andrew pay special attention to while studying abroad?

    A.Host families.
    B.The foreign cultures.
    C.Places of interest.
    D.Community problems.
    (3)According to the example of Christina,what do we know about studying abroad?

    A.It can change our habits.
    B.It can offer us opportunities.
    C.It can increase our knowledge.
    D.It can build our confidence.
    (4)What do the underlined words "a breeze" in paragraph 4 probably refer to?

    A.Something very important.
    B.Something very interesting.
    C.Something very easy.
    D.Something very soft.
