【答案】32.B33.D34.B35.A

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了人工智能有助于在海啸形成前监测到信号，并提供警报给沿

海社区。文章解释了其工作原理，以及有待进步的地方。

【32题详解】

词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“providingwarningslongbeforethetsunamihits.（在海啸袭击之前很久就提供

警报）”可知，人工智能检测到的微弱信号可以给沿海社区带来福祉，因为可以在海啸袭击之前很久就提

供警报。由此可知，划线词felicity意为“福祉”，与welfare同义。故选B。

【33题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“ThoseGPSsatellitesareimportantbecausetheyconstantlyexchangeradiosignals

withgroundstations.Crucially,thespeedoftheradiosignalsisaffectedbythedensity（密度）ofchargedparticles

（带电粒子）inanareaofEarth'sionosphere（电离层）.Tsunami-causedshockwavestravellingupintothe

atmosphereaffectthedensityoftheseparticles,generatingsmallbutmeasurablechangesinthesatelliteradio

signals.（这些GPS卫星很重要，因为它们不断地与地面站交换无线电信号。至关重要的是，无线电信号

的速度受到地球电离层区域内带电粒子密度的影响。海啸引起的冲击波向上传播到大气中，影响了这些

粒子的密度，在卫星无线电信号中产生微小但可测量的变化）”可知，GPS卫星对探测海啸很重要是因

为，它们的信号可以反映带电粒子密度的变化。故选D。

【34题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中"TheythenconfirmedtheAl'sperformanceondatafromafourthtsunami,

whichwascausedbythe2015IllapelearthquakeoffthecoastofChile.ThisshowedhowwelltheAIcould

distinguishtsunami-relateddisturbancesfromnormalvariationsintheionosphere.（然后，他们在第四次海啸的

数据上证实了人工智能的表现，第四次海啸是由2015年智利海岸III阿佩尔地震引起的。这表明人工智能

可以很好地将海啸相关的干扰与电离层的正常变化区分开来）”可知，经过前三次的训练和测试，2015年

的海啸被用来证明人工智能的准确性。故选B。

【35题详解】

主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段"Abetterearlywarningsystemfortsunamismaysoonbepossible

withthehelpofartificialintelligence.AItechnologycandetectverysmalldisturbancesinsatellitesignalswhena

tsunami,swavesbegintoform,whichcouldbringfelicitytocoastalcommunities,providingwarningslongbefore

thetsunamihits.（在人工智能的帮助下，一个更好的海啸预警系统可能很快就会成为可能。人工智能技术

可以在海啸波浪开始形成时检测到卫星信号中非常小的干扰，这可能会给沿海社区带来幸福，在海啸袭

击之前很久就提供警报）”可知，本文主要介绍了人工智能有助于在海啸形成前监测到信号，并提供警报

给沿海社区。文章解释了其工作原理，以及有待进步的地方。因此A项“人工智能可以发现海啸的早期

迹象”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。
