If, 39 , the rain could be made 40 in the South China Sea, there would be 41 floods since the rain clouds would not reach the east coast.

Is it possible to make 42 give up their rain? Yes, it is.

As you 43 know, clouds are caused 44 air containing water – vapour. The air rises and, since

When the cloud rises, however, the drops become 47 . Because of this, they 48 together and become big drops. The big drops are no longer able to float because of their 49 , and hey fall. As they 50 , they pick up more drops and become digger. This is the cause of rain.

Rain Making 51 making these bigger drops form and fall 52 they would normally do so. This can be done by?see – ding?the clouds with chemicals, 53 planting seeds in the ground. Rain can be produced 54 by three chemicals. The seeding is done by 55 which fly through the clouds.

Ⅲ.阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分）

A

Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world’s first igloo hotel. Built in a

small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.

In two weeks’ time Bergqvist’s ice creation（作品）will be nothing more than a pool of water.?We don’t see it as a big problem,?he says.?We just look forward to replacing it.?

Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed.?The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,?he says.

After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing（轻松的）hotel break.?It’s great fun,?Bergqvist explains,?as well as a good start in survival training.?

The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms.?You can get lot of people in,?explains Bergqvist.?The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.?

56. Bergqvist designed and built the world’s first igloo hotel because _________. A. Bergqvist designed and built the world’s first igloo hotel because ________. B. he wanted to make a name for the small town C. an art exhibition was about to open D. more hotel rooms were needed

59. When guests leaves the igloo hotel they will receive a paper stating that ________. A. they have visited Lapland

But it’s not unusual here. The kids have declared a war on vaste.

?We’ve never made the children do anything,?explains Liz Emplar, the school’s head teacher.?They came up with all the ias themselves. They’re doing this because they want to.?

If you take a look around the school you won’t see anything thrown away unnecessarily. Everything is collected and reused, or sent to be recycled.

Shute School started its green revolution two years ago. They looked carefully at every part of school lift – from the teaching to the cleaning. They looked at the way stationery（文具）was used – especially photocopying, the way cleaning was carried out, and how food was used – and wasted!

Even parents were looked at: how many children came-in each car? Did they use unleaded petrol? Could they bring more children in fewer cars?

High on the list was the waste of paper. Next came unfriendly cleaning products. Paper towels were

replaced with recycled paper. But the hardest thing for the kids was when they found out how much rubbish was created by the chocolate, crisps and other snacks（小吃）eaten at lunch time. Of their own accord（自愿地）, the children gave them up. Now they bring apples and home – made snacks.

The school has its own garden where they grow vegetables and flowers so that they can learn about the environment. They also use this area for their recycling store – large containers to collect aluminium, bottles, paper and fabric（织物）.

Even the school’s play area is made from recycled things.

Since the children started, the school’s heating and lighting bills have fallen obviously and the number of rubbish bags has gone down from seven a week to two or three.

Everywhere in Shute School there are bright posters asking everyone to take their rubbish home, to save energy and paper and to keep the green flag flying. 61. Which of the following best describes the writer’s idea? A. The pupils at Shute School are fighting against pollution. B. The pupils at Shute School are learning to save things. C. The pupils at Shute School have declared a war on waste.

D. The pupils at Shute School have found a way to recycle waste things.

62. Children at Shute Country Primary School bring apples and home – made snacks to school in order to _______.

A. create less rubbish B. save money C. obey the school’s rules D. keep their promise

63. We can infer from the text that‘green revolution’means ________. A. beautifying schoolyard B. activity against waste C. planting green plants D. throwing away waste

64. What do the children think creates the most waste? A. Paper towels. B. Cleaning products. C. Snacks. D. Paper.

65. We learn from the text that the children’s behaviour _______. A. has brought arguments B. has saved the school’s cost. C. was against by their parents D. was forced by their herd teacher

C

Fire fighting is serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save people’s lives. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone else in the family, such as stairways and emergency exits, but not elevators.

From the lower floors of buildings, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way to get out from a window with the least chance of serious injury.

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about 6 feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way down than to stay in a burning building.

Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed before opening the window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked into the room.

On the second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement might end in injury. Bushes and trees can help you to have a soft landing.

66. Which of the following should not be used when trying to escape from a fire?

A. Windows. B. Elevators. C. Fire exits. D. Stairways. 67. How far from the ground is the second floor window?

A. About 12 feet. B. About 6 feet. C. About the height of an average man. D. Nearly 10 feet. 68. According to the passage, windows are _______ of escaping a fire. A. the only way. B. the best way.

C. safer than any other ways. D. one of the possible ways. 69. The writer suggests that _______. A. breathing in smoke might be harmful

B. smoke will enter the room through an open window C. fresh air can’t reach the second floor window D. to keep you head low will help you to escape a fire

70. If you are on the second or third floor when a fire breaks out, you’d better _______. A. drop directly onto the ground

B. first drip onto a roof then onto the cement C. drop from a roof window then onto bushes or trees D. drop onto the cement rather than bushes and grass

D

In some countries in which there is very little rain at any time, the farmers have to irrigate their fields. Irrigation is easy enough if there is a great river near the crops, and if there is plenty of water in it Canals carry the river water to the fields when necessary. In some seasons there may be too much water in the river, and the water may flood all the land near it. At other times the river water may not be enough for all the

farmers and then it will be difficult to irrigate the fields.

To prevent these difficulties, a dam may be built across the river. This will store water for dry seasons, and in wet seasons it will prevent the flooding of the land. A great lake will, no doubt, be formed behind the dam, and this may mean that houses and fields will be covered with water. Most people will accept that and will be ready to move to other places, then the country can have the right amount of water at all times, more crops will be grown, there will be more food for everyone, and there will be no more floods.

Dams have been built for centuries in different parts of the world Modern dams are usually built of concrete（混凝土）,but earth dams were used in India and Ceylon about 2500 years ago. There was another across the River Tigris very long ago, and large numbers of irrigation canals were made in Iraq to irrigate the land. The Romans were great dam – builders, and there was also a famous dam at Ma’ribin Arabia.

The Ma’ ribin dam was a great piece of engineering, but it was less famous than the Pyramids of Giza because it was hard to reach. If Greek travelers had crossed the desert and had seen it, they would, no doubt, have included it among the wonders of the world. But there is not much of it to be seen now; the pyramids have lasted longer.

Some great modern dams have been built in Africa. The Kariba dam is one example. No doubt many other dams will be built in the future, but in some places there are no rivers to dam.

We cannot use sea water for irrigation; the salt will not allow the crops to grow. Fresh water is always needed, and it is very difficult and costly to make fresh water from sea water. This is done in a few countries, but the fresh water is for drinking. There is not enough at present for irrigation. Perhaps a scientist will one day invent a cheaper way of producing fresh water from sea. If fresh water could be made cheaply, we could grow more food. The world needs a machine to do this, and anyone who invents it will soon be a rich man. 71. Irrigation is easy if _________.

A. there is a big river near the crops B. there is much water in the river

C. there is dam near the crops D. both A and B 72. To irrigate means ________.

A. to build a dam B. to dig a canal C. to water the dry land D. to prevent floods 73. A dam is built to ________ according to this passage.

A. store water B. prevent floods C. flood the land D. both A and B 74. We spend ________ to make fresh water from sea water.

A. much money B. some money C. little money D. less money 75. A few countries make fresh water from sea water for _________. A. irrigating B. drinking C. showing D. boating
