One way of preventing (阻止) floods may be by making rain! This may sound rather 1 . As we know, heavy rain is the 2 of floods, and in Malaysia, most of the 3 are caused by the annual monsoon (一年一度的湿季风), which brings heavy rain to the east coast. If, 4 ,the rain could be made 5 in the South China Sea, there would be 6 floods since the rain could not reach the east coast.
Is it possible to make 7 give up their rain? Yes, it is.
As you probably know, clouds are caused 8 air containing water-vapor (水蒸气). The air rises and, since water-vapor 9 water when it cools, very tiny drops of water are formed. Since these drops are very10 , they float (漂浮) in the air and 11 a cloud. When the cloud rises, however, the drop becomes 12 . Because of this, they 13 together and become big drops. The big drops are no longer able to float because of their 14 , and they fall. As they 15 , they pick up more drops and become bigger. This is the cause of rain.
Rain making 16 making these bigger drops form and fall 17 they would normally do so. This can be done by “seeding” the clouds with chemicals, 18 planting seeds in the ground. Rain can be produced 19 by these chemicals. The seeding is done by 20 which fly through the clouds.

It was raining as I got off the train in Nashville, Tennessee. I was tired so I went straight to my hotel.
A big, heavy man was walking up and down in the hotel lobby. Something about the way he moved made me think of a hungry dog looking for a bone. He had a big, fat, red face and a sleepy expression in his eyes. He introduced himself as Wentworth Caswell – Major Wentworth Caswell – from “a fine southern family”. Caswell pulled me into the hotel’s barroom and yelled for a waiter. We ordered drinks. While we drank, he talked continually about himself, his family, his wife and her family. He said his wife was rich. He showed me a handful of silver coins that he pulled from his coat pocket.
By this time, I had decided that I wanted no more of him. I said good night.
I was born in the south myself. But I live in New York now. I write for a large magazine. My boss had asked me to go to Nashville. The magazine had received some stories and poems from a writer in Nashville, named Azalea Adair. The editor liked her work very much. The publisher asked me to get her to sign an agreement to write only for his magazine.
I left the hotel at nine o’clock the next morning to find Miss Adair. It was still raining. As soon as I stepped outside I met Uncle Caesar. He was a big, old black man with fuzzy gray hair. Uncle Caesar was wearing the strangest coat I had ever seen. It must have been a military officer’s coat. It was very long and when it was new it had been gray. But now rain, sun and age had made it a rainbow of colors. Only one of the buttons was left. It was yellow and as big as a fifty cent coin.
Uncle Caesar stood near a horse and carriage. He opened the carriage door and said softly, “Step right in, sir. I’ll take you anywhere in the city.”
“I want to go to 861 Jasmine Street,” I said, and I started to climb into the carriage. But the old man stopped me. “Why do you want to go there, sir?”
“What business is it of yours?” I said angrily. Uncle Caesar relaxed and smiled. “Nothing, sir. But it’s a lonely part of town. Just step in and I’ll take you there right away.”
861 Jasmine Street had been a fine house once, but now it was old and dying. I got out of the carriage.
“That will be two dollars, sir,” Uncle Caesar said. I gave him two one-dollar bills. As I handed them to him, I noticed that one had been torn in half and fixed with a piece of blue paper. Also, the upper right hand corner was missing.
1.The narrator （故事的叙述者）got to Nashville probably _______.
A. in the morning B. at noon C. in the afternoon D. in the evening
2. The narrator didn’t like Caswell mainly because of ________.

B. to collect some stories and poems from a writer
C. to look for good writers for his magazine
D. to visit his old friend Azalea Adair
4. Uncle Caesar’s strange coat ________.
A. was worn by a military officer B. was a new gray coat
C. was an old yellow raincoat D. had only one button left
5. From the question “Why do you want to go there, sir?”, we guess that Uncle Caesar _______.
A. wanted to know why the narrator wanted to go there
B. knew the place and was concerned about the narrator
C. would charge two dollars for taking the narrator there
D. must have lived in the neighbourhood before

It’s interesting to see how people make use of the time they spend on public transport in Indian cities like Delhi and Mumbai.
In crowded buses and trains people manage to take a short nap and some even reach the snoring stage. Or they spread out a newspaper over multiple knees and arms to read about the latest sport results or political crisis.
Then there are the experienced travellers who have been playing cards with the same group over the last decade or so. They even have their specific seats so well-worn that you can make out the shape of their backsides.
There is no doubt about it. Travelling by public transport is being in the thick of the seasons of life — a sweaty life in summer where people, blissfully unaware of the rivers of sweat running down their brows and inside their clothes. At the first smell of a perfumed man or woman boarding the stuffy bus or train, most people feel they are reborn.
During the rains you can’t avoid getting wet or muddied. The windows, almost always, are not a perfect fit and if you’re not drenched by a sudden, heavy rain shower then you are bound to catch a jet spray of muddy water caused by a fellow motorist driving fast through a puddle.
Rains are a perfect time for people to switch their old umbrellas for new ones. Since there are so many that look alike, it’s impossible to tell whose is whose.
Winter is the time when it feels good — or at least warm — to be part of a crowd. It is amazing how much the collective breaths of a 100 or so people can raise the freezing temperature inside. Looking at the masses dressed in their bright red pullovers or green coats, it’s fun to imagine what faces lie beneath their dark woolen hats.
The cold winter passes, making way for spring. It is impossible not to see every little flower by the wayside blooming proudly. And the warm sun manages to transmit some of their pleasantness to the inside of a bus or train.
Now, wouldn’t it be perfect if we had a public transport worth the name in all our cities?
31. On Indian public transport, you can always expect to see people ________.
A. sleeping and reading newspapers
B. arguing and playing games
C. enjoying the view and playing cards
D. carrying umbrellas and whispering politely
32. According to the author what will make passengers feel refreshed during summer travelling?
A. The cool evening breeze. B. The rain pouring over their clothes.
C. The joy of a game of cards. D. The sweet fragrance of a new passenger.
33. If you see people in colourful clothing and breathing heavily, you are probably travelling during the ________.
A. summer B. rainy seasons C. winter D. spring
34. We can infer from the passage that __________.
A. Indian people don’t mind switching umbrellas with others
B. almost everyone in India wears perfume when they go out
C. the buses and trains are old and in poor conditions
D. Indian transport is the most crowded in the world
35. What is the tune of language used in this passage?
A. Humourous. B. Critical. C. Frightening. D. Concerned.
