The cumulative rainfall in Henan province during the four days was the highest since the province has records, the provincial meteorological service said. The rain was heaviest in the provincial capital, Zhengzhou, for a short period on Monday and Tuesday. Northern, western and central parts of Henan also experienced downpours, the service said. Zhengzhou's biggest one-hour precipitation (降水量) —201.9 mmbetween 4 and 5 pm on Tuesday—was also the highest on the Chinese mainland. The previous record was 198.5 mmin the village of Linzhuang in Zhumadian in August 1975, the National Meteorological Center said. The city's precipitation duringthe four days exceeded that of its average annual precipitation, the center said.
Chen Tao, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center, said abundant water vapor (水蒸气) brought by Typhoon In-Fa and the province's special geographical features led to Henan's rain. “Partly affected by the typhoon, large amounts of water vapor have been transported to China's inland areas, including Henan,” he said.
From Thursday to Monday, rain was forecast to continue in Henan. However, rainfall will gradually subside in Zhengzhou and the province's northern and central regions, though the storms will increase the risk of mountain torrents and other geological disasters. By Monday, lighter rain is forecast for parts of Henan, the provincial weather service said. However, local authorities are still urged to bevigilantand prepare to prevent or cope with flooding and other possible disasters.
Predicting such weather events remains a challenge worldwide because it involves many meteorological phenomena, the center said. “The formation of this kind of extreme weather, including rainstorms and high
temperatures, is complex,” Chen said. “We still lack effective solutions and methods for such forecasting”, he said. “We are now putting a lot of effort into tackling the difficulty. We believe that as the technology improves, we can better forecast the events.”

B. The rain in Henan lasted four days.

B The rain of Henan is mainly caused by Typhoon In-Fa.
C. The center hasn't put a lot of effort into solving the problem.
D. Rainstorms and high temperatures can account for the heavy rain.

You’re in a crowd of people who are all asking for the same thing. How do you make your voice heard above the rest? Be different. Don’t shout. Lisa, 25, was waiting to board a plane flying fromLondontoAustriafor Christmaswhen the flight was cancelled.
“There were about a hundred of us unable to leave,” she says. “Everyone else was shouting at the airport staff. Instead of joining in, I walked up to the man behind the ticket desk very quietly and said, ‘This must be so awful for you! I don’t know how you deal with these situations—it’s not even your fault. I could never handle it as well as you are.’ Without my even asking, he found me a seat on another airline with an upgrade to first class. He was happy to do a favor forsomeone who was appreciative instead of unfriendliness.”
Flattery (恭维) is an essential element of the sweet-talk strategy. “It’s human psychology that stroking a person’s ego (自我) with a few well-directed praises makes them want to prove you right,” says apsychologist. “Tell someone they’re pretty and they’ll instantly fix their hair; praise their sense of humor and they’ll tell a joke.”
You need help and there’s ly no reason that the person will want to lend a hand. Allison, 26. a lawyer, realized
she’d made a huge mistake on a batch of documents. “The only way I could fix the problem was to get the help of a colleague who I knew didn’t like me,” she said.
Allison then went to the woman’s office and explained her problem. “As I was saying to the boss the other day you’re the only person who would know how to handle a situation like this, what would you suggest I do?” “Feeling pumped up (鼓励), she set about helping me and we finished the job on time, and she was happy to help.” Allison said.
8. Whatwould have happened at the airport according to paragraph 1?
A. The departure hall was filled with noise.
B. Someone screamed just lo be different.
C. The passengers waited on board patiently.
D. The airport stuff were rude to the passengers.
9. Why did the man put Lisa on another airline?
A. He admired Lisa’s beauty.
B. He appreciated her attitude.
C. He was ready to help others.
D. He was blamed for the cancellation.
10. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The potential benefits of ego.
B. The strategy to start small talk.
C. The great importance of flattery.
D. The value of humor in daily life.
11. What can we learn about Allison’s colleague?
A. She was a popular lawyer.
B. She was always ready to help others.
C. She always got praise from Allison.
D. She did a great favor for Allison eventually.
D
Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two important ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot stand such a high rate of forest loss. The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A large amount of wastepaper ends up in landfills, where it can produce harmful gases and finally contribute to global climate change.
One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down
trees, recycle existing paper to feed the paper-making process.
Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素)，which can be used repeatedly in papermaking. Unfortunately, it also means that paper waste takes a surprisingly long time to break down in landfills. So far, trees are the only source(来源) of cellulose that can fill the great demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees. Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper need not be the dark-color1 edstuff many of us are familiar with. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.
Effective recycling requires a continuous effort from everyone at all levels of society. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be developed.
The need is real. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it!
12. What can we infer from the text?
A. The use of recycled paper will double in 40 years.
B. Recycling paper helps relieve global climate change.
C. Wastepaper can easily break down in landfills.
D. There are not enough landfills for wastepaper.
13. What makes recycled paper more acceptable?
A. The great demand of trees.
B. The low processing cost.
C. Its dark-color1 ed feature.
D. Its improved print performance.
14. What does the author propose?
A. Punishing the act of cutting trees.
B. Recycling paper.
C. Improving recycling system.
D. Promoting paper industry.
15. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By analyzing causes and effects.
B. By offering research plans and data.
C. By discussing problems and solutions.
D. By comparing strengths and weaknesses.

___16___Now, it has a blooming wind-power industry and is one of the only six states with commercial geothermal (地热的) electricity. Geothermal power plants are able to create energy using water and heat that comes from dry steam wells or from hot-water wells. The steam then powers a machine that generates electricity.
BecauseIdahonever had a large supply of fossil fuels to rely on, leaders had to become more creative with their power sources. Idaho is not as densely (密集地) populated as most other states.___17___ WhenBoiseleaders realized how much food was ending up in the local landfill, they took new steps to cutback on food waste.

Idahoans manage to keep waste out of their landfills partly because of their strong commitment to recycling. BecauseIdahohas a series of communities — from urban areas inBoiseto the surrounding suburbs — no two recycling programs in the state are alike.___20___Rural areas exploit drop-off recycling centers to cut costs, while cities use curbside pickup.
A. Idaho just earned that title unexpectedly.
B. Idaho was an early adopter of green energy sources.
C. They are then able to obtain the compost soil for free.

walked in and announced that it was the basketball season, so they needed to practice after school till 6. Nick smiled. He loved playing basketball.
Later that day it was time to go to the first practice of the season. There were other guys and they all sat together talking, but Nick just sat there and waited. “Alright boys!
