Mark Twain once said, "Everyone talks about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it." This was true in his day. But it may not be the case in today's world. In fact, humans have found many different ways to control the weather.
Cloud seeding(云催化)is a kind of technology that controls rain. It is done by spreading chemicals like dry ice or silver iodide(碘化银)inside clouds, either by rocket or airplane. This changes the amount of rain, the time when it rains and even where it rains.
This technology has helped to solve droughts. It has also played a key role during important events. For example, China used cloud seeding in Beijing just before the 2008 Olympic Games in order to stop rain from falling during the event.
However, scientists are still debating how to use this technology. On the one hand, it is believed that it might have side effects. For example, silver iodide may be bad for the environment. On the other hand, no two clouds are the same, so every new experiment brings new conditions.
In addition to controlling rain, scientists have also tried to find ways to weaken storms and hurricanes(飓风). Scientists at the US National Hurricane Centre Headquarters think it might be possible to control hurricanes by using lasers(激光). Others believe that burning petroleum(石油)in a hurricane's path could slow the storms down.
( )29.Cloud seeding works by spreading inside clouds.
A. rocket B. airplane C. chemicals D. water
( )30.Cloud seeding can't control .
A. how much it rains B. when it rains
C. where it rains D. its side effects
( )31.China used this technology before the Olympic Games in order to .
A. solve the problem of droughts
B. keep it dry during the Olympic Games
C. keep it rainy during the Olympic Games
D. show the technology of cloud seeding
( )32.What can we learn from the story
A. Mark Twain liked to talk about the weather.
B. Cloud seeding may not be environmentally friendly.
C. All scientists have welcomed the cloud seeding technology.
D. Cloud seeding can be used to control storms.
D
Are you a happy person most of the time Or do you easily get angry sometimes Everyone has a different temperament(性情).It is usually believed that both genes(基因)and the environment may affect people's temperaments in different ways. But now scientists have found that the season of birth also plays a role.
Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students needed to finish a questionnaire(问卷).The purpose of it was to find out which of the most four kinds of temperaments they had. From the questionnaire, scientists found that the students always answered something like "My mood often changes for no reason." and "I love to deal with new projects, even if they're risky." These answers were then matched with their birthdays.
They discovered that people born in summer easily changed between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.
The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of depression, which might easily drive them to cry, while those born in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human's body. And the chemicals were important to control people's moods even in adults' lives.
"It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders(紊乱),"the lead scientist Xenia Gonda told The Telegraph.
( )33.What probably can't affect people's temperaments according to Paragraph 1
A. Genes. B. Ages.
C. The season of birth. D. The environment.
( )34.What does the underlined word "depression" most probably mean
A. Sadness. B. Happiness.
C. Surprise. D. Excitement.
( )35.What will the writer most probably write about in the blank
A. How many kinds of moods are there
B. What can change the human's body most
C. How can the chemicals affect the moods
D. Why will the students continue their study
( )36.Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage
A. People born in summer change their moods more easily.
B. The season of birth has an influence on humans' moods.
C. There were 400 middle school students taking part in the study.
D. The answers to the questionnaire were matched with their birthdays.

September is the start of a new season — but where you are and who you are decide what you call that season. In the UK, people will tell you it's "autumn". However, cross the Atlantic(大西洋)and you'll find that people use both "fall" and "autumn" when talking about this time of year. In the English language, the season has two popular names. 37.
It seems that the word "autumn" came earlier than "fall", but in fact "fall" isn't a modern name.
38. , the season didn't have a common(普遍的)name. The main thing people did before winter was staying with each other and preserving(保存)crops, so they called this period harvest in old English.
Then, in the 1600s, more and more people began moving into cities. 39.. Without farming, the word harvest became less useful to people living in cities. Some English speakers needed a different name for the season. They found leaves fell off the trees during that season. 40. .
But by the end of the 1600s, the French word "autompne" and the Latin "autumns" came into the English language and overtook (超过) fall, so people began to use autumn for the harvest time. At the same time, British people arrived in North America and changed the language there by bringing the words "fall" and "autumn" with them. 41. .
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。
A. Before the words "fall" and "autumn" appeared in the lexicon(词汇表)
B. They gave up farming and left the countryside
C. Today, using both words to call the season is more popular in America than in Britain
D. Why does it have to be like that
E. So people called it "the fall of the leaf", or fall for short

Are you a happy person most of the time Or do you easily get angry sometimes Everyone has a different temperament(性情).It is usually believed that both genes(基因)and the environment may affect people's temperaments in different ways. But now scientists have found that the season of birth also plays a role.
Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students needed to finish a questionnaire(问卷).The purpose of it was to find out which of the most four kinds of temperaments they had. From the questionnaire, scientists found that the students always answered something like "My mood often changes for no reason." and "I love to deal with new projects, even if they're risky." These answers were then matched with their birthdays.
They discovered that people born in summer easily changed between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.
The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of depression, which might easily drive them to cry, while those born in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human's body. And the chemicals were important to control people's moods even in adults' lives.
"It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders(紊乱),"the lead scientist Xenia Gonda told The Telegraph.

It seems that the word "autumn" came earlier than "fall", but in fact "fall" isn't a modern name.
38. , the season didn't have a common(普遍的)name. The main thing people did before winter was staying with each other and preserving(保存)crops, so they called this period harvest in old English.

But by the end of the 1600s, the French word "autompne" and the Latin "autumns" came into the English language and overtook (超过) fall, so people began to use autumn for the harvest time. At the same time, British people arrived in North America and changed the language there by bringing the words "fall" and "autumn" with them. 41. .

One possible version:
My favourite season
My favourite season is spring. Spring is a lovely season. When spring comes, it is warm and windy. The flowers and grass come out, and the trees turn green. Children go out of the house in their beautiful clothes. There are many butterflies and bees over the flowers. The butterflies are dancing and the bees are singing. Everything seems beautiful. How beautiful spring is!
I usually make the whole year's plan. I enjoy flying kites and taking a trip in spring. As the saying goes, spring is the best time to do the year's work. I hope I can gain much in the first season of the year!
Spring is a poem. Spring is a song. I love spring.
