【答案】8.A9.B10.C11.B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了利用人工智能预测地震的新尝试及其取得的成果。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段中uDevelopedbyresearchersatTheUniversityofTexasatAustin,theAIalgorithm

correctlypredicted70%ofearthquakesaweekbeforetheyhappenedduringaseven-monthtrialinChina.（由德克

萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员开发的人工智能算法在中国进行了为期7个月的试验，在地震发生前一周

正确预测了70%的地震）”和第二段中“TheoutcomewasaweeklyforecastinwhichtheAIsuccessfully

predicted14earthquakeswithinabout200milesofwhereitestimatedtheywouldhappenandatalmostexactlythe

calculatedstrength.（结果是每周一次的预测，人工智能成功地预测了14次地震，地震发生地点在它估计的

200英里范围内，强度几乎与计算的完全一致）”可知，人工智能算法成功预测了70%的地震，且能相当准

确地预测地震的位置和强度。因此，人工智能预测地震的准确率很高。故选A项。

【9题详解】

词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“TheAIwastrainedtofindunusualpatterns（人工智能被训练来发现不寻常

的模式）"和下文“thatresearchershadpairedwiththedataofpreviousearthquakes（研究人员将其与之前地震

的数据进行了配对）”可推知，人工智能是将实时地震数据与先前地震数据配对,从而发现异常。因此,seismic

意为“与地震相关的"。故选B项。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段中研究人员所说的话uPredictingearthquakesistheultimategoal（预测地震是最终目

标）”和“We'renotyetclosetomakingpredictionsforanywhereintheworld,butwhatweachievedtellsusthat

whatwethoughtwasanimpossibleproblemissolvableinprinciple.（我们还不能预测世界上的任何地方，但我

们所取得的成就告诉我们，我们认为不可能解决的问题在原则上是可以解决的）”可知，研究人员认为在全

球范围内进行预测虽然曾被认为不可能解决，但现在原则上是可以解决的。因此，研究人员对人工智能预测

地震持乐观态度。故选C项。

【11题详解】

主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Anewattempttopredictearthquakeswiththeaidofartificial

intelligence（AI）hasraisedhopesthatthetechnologycouldonedaybeusedtolimitearthquakes5impactonlives

andeconomies.（一项借助人工智能（AI）预测地震的新尝试让人们燃起了希望，这项技术有朝一日可能被用来

限制地震对生命和经济的影响）”可知，本文介绍了利用人工智能预测地震的新尝试及其取得的成果。因此，

B项“人工智能在预测地震中的作用”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
