“The red walls and green tiles (瓦) set each other off beautifully. It’s so Beijing,” said Lin. He was enjoying a city walk along the Beijing Central Axis (中轴线).
The Beijing Central Axis is a straight north-south line. It is from the Bell Tower and Drum Tower to the Yongding Gate, about 7.8 kilometers from north to south.

The Bell and Drum Towers were used to keep time once. Today they see the daily cultural activities of local people. A teacher named Lu Zhou says that when he walks around the Bell and Drum Towers, he can find peace in the busy city life.
A number of visitors from other parts of the world have been surprised by the Beijing Central Axis. Marco Polo (1254 1324) wrote in The Travels of Marco Polo (《马可·波罗游记》): “Up and down the city there are beautiful palaces ... and fine houses in great numbers.” These western records have given people around the world a taste of its history.

According to a recent study, the Middle East is warming almost twice as fast as the rest of the world. Without a doubt, high temperatures will have deep influences on the development of the area.
That shows the growing risk to humans caused by extreme (极端的) weather. With more and more extreme weather events, we must find better techniques to make predictions (预测) about them.
AI is a powerful tool. It can deal with information and provide advice to help us better understand and make predictions about the weather. Traditional weather models use information from satellites (卫星). But these models have their disadvantages: they are not very exact. They also fail to discover complex conditions of the air around the earth.
AI can overcome (克服) these disadvantages by using the technology of deep learning. It can learn from historical and real-time information and produce trustworthy predictions. AI can also deal with information from different places, such as satellite photos or online posts, to provide clearer pictures of the weather situation. A paper on the Pangu-Weather AI model has drawn a lot of attention. Pangu-Weather is the first AI prediction model that is more exact than traditional weather prediction methods. This model can increase the prediction speed by 10,000 times, making global weather prediction time drop to seconds.
In May 2023, Typhoon Mawar appeared in the Pacific Ocean. According to the China Meteorological Administration, Pangu-Weather made exact predictions about the direction of Mawar five days before it changed its way in the eastern waters of the islands of Taiwan.
6. Which of the following is TRUE
A．High temperatures will have few influences on the area.
B．The Middle East is warming faster than the rest of the world.
C．Traditional weather models can discover complex conditions of the air around the earth.
7. How can AI overcome the disadvantages of traditional weather models

B．By only learning from real-time information.
C．By dealing with information from the same places.

A．To tell us about the risks of extreme weather.
B．To show how exact Pangu-Weather’s predictions are.
