（2024·天津三模改编）As the weather gets warmer, it's the perfect time to plan a day at the beach. There, you can enjoy activities like swimming, surfing, and building castles in the sand. However, it's important to keep beach safety in m 1 .
Now, there is a new AI water management system that can help prevent drownings(溺水). Sight-bit was developed by a company which can be used to help s 2 lives. This programme was created after its creator saw someone drowning. He believed this could have been s 3 and started working on this programme.
The Sight-bit system works by using cameras at the beach to read the c 4 of water and beach. The AI is able to watch the videos and find dangers. For example, it can tell when the waves are d 5 or if someone is in trouble in the water.
The system can also tell the differences between adults, children and different kinds of boats. The information helps beach safety officers know where and when someone needs h 6 . Then they can receive warnings on devices(设备) like smartphones and smartwatches. This way, they can act q 7 to stop accidents.
Now, this technology is used in many places around the world, including p 8 beaches, private clubs, and resorts(度假胜地). The creator's goal is for every beach to be a safe place where families can enjoy their time w 9 worry. This technology shows how science and caring for others can have an i 10 on keeping us safe while we are having fun. It's a great example of what can be achieved when we use new ideas to solve real-world problems.

Ⅶ. 任务型阅读
阅读并根据下面的短文，在表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
Cars powered by gasoline(汽油) were sold for many years before cars that use electricity.
Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to(匹敌) traditional gasoline cars?
Electric and gasoline cars look similar on the outside. They have very different parts under their hoods(引擎盖), though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gasoline cars have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance(保养). Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems.
Electric cars are energy efficient(高效的), also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about $1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car. But it costs about $1.25 to go 18 miles in a gasoline car. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price.
Electric cars do not have tailpipe emissions(尾气排放), making them more friendly to the environment too.
While some details make electric cars seem attractive, other details aren't as favourable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge. Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank(油箱).
An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged. Therefore, a gas car would be a better option(选择) if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren't as convenient to power up as gas cars are. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station, it can take up to six hours to charge.
There are certainly advantages to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It's good to know that there is a choice. Which one do you prefer?
It's up to you.
| Introduction | With the appearance of electric cars, people wonder whether electric cars can reach the same 1 as gasoline cars. |
| ---- | ---- |
| 2 | Electric cars and gasoline cars look similar in their looks. |
| 3 | Electric cars
• Having fewer parts reduces the cost of their maintenance and the 4 of having mechanical problems.
• Compared with gasoline cars, electric cars are more 5 saving, making them cheaper to operate.
• Having no tailpipe emissions, they do no 6 to the environment.
Gasoline cars
• Gas cars can cover a 7 distance on a full tank than electric cars on a full charge.
• There are many 8 stations built for gas cars while not enough charging stations are provided for people to charge their electric cars. Also, electric cars need a long time to 9. |
| Conclusion | Both gas cars and electric cars have their own advantages. Your choice depends on your 10. |
