二、阅读理解
A
Modern disaster warning systems have revolutionized how societies prepare for cataclysms, leveraging cutting-edge technology to save lives. AI algorithms now analyze vast datasets from satellites and weather stations, predicting storms with up to 95% accuracy—far surpassing traditional methods. In Japan, a multi-layered warning system combines app notifications, blaring alarms, and TV broadcasts to deliver tsunami alerts within seconds of detection, giving residents precious minutes to reach higher ground.
Drones have emerged as game-changers in disaster response. Equipped with thermal imaging and GPS, these unmanned vehicles can survey earthquake-ravaged areas in real time, identifying survivors trapped under rubbish and mapping damage for rescue teams. In remote regions of Indonesia, drones have even delivered emergency supplies when roads and bridges are rendered impassable, cutting response times from hours to minutes.
Yet, challenges persist. Rural communities without reliable Internet or electricity often fall through the warning net, highlighting the need for inclusive solutions. Scientists are now developing solar-powered alarm systems and SMS-based alerts to reach the most vulnerable. “No one should be left unwarned because of their location,” emphasizes disaster researcher Dr. Mei Lin.
The 2024 Typhoon Hana serves as a testament to these technologies’ efficacy. Thanks to early AI predictions and drone-led evacuations, casualties were reduced by 82% compared to similar storms a decade ago. As climate-driven disasters grow more frequent, the global push to democratize warning systems remains urgent—ensuring that technology becomes a lifeline for all, not just the privileged.
1. What technology enables high-precision predictions
A．Traditional weather vanes. B．AI and satellite data.
C．Amateur radio networks. D．Manual observation.
2. How do Japanese tsunami warnings reach people

C．By community loudspeakers only. D．Through emergency mail.
3. What is a key challenge for warning systems

C．To reduce panic during disasters. D．To save lives and minimize casualties.
5. What is the future focus for scientists
A．To develop more expensive drones. B．To abandon AI in favor of drones.
C．To ensure warnings reach all communities. D．To limit warnings to urban areas.
