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.”
8. What message does the author mainly want to convey in the first paragraph?
A. heavy rain fell in Zhengzhou.
B. The rain in Henan lasted four days.
C. Zhumadian also suffered the similar heavy rain.
D. Henan experienced the biggest rainfall of all time.
9. What can be indicated from Chen Tao's words?
A. It is not easy to forecast the extreme weather.
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.
10. What does the underlined word “vigilant” probably mean?
A. Relaxed.
B. Alert.
C. Reluctant.
D. Communicative.
11. Where might the text be most probably taken from?
A. history book.
B. A novel.
C. A news report.
D. A science magazine.
D
It’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.
Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also
needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.
He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.
Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed experiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.
“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said in the end.
12. Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show ________.
A. he enjoyed making speeches
B. he was a responsible astronaut
C. his life in space was challenging
D. the daily life of an astronaut can be boring
13. What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts?
A. He won some awards through teamwork.
B. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.
C. He learned to develop close relationships with others.
D. He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.
14. Which of the following can best describe Scott?
A. Kind and thoughtful.
B. Curious and humorous.
C. Easygoing and sociable.
D. Hardworking and determined.
15. What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story?
A. It’s importantto have a dream
B. Easy things are also worth doing
C. A suitable career leads one to success.
D. Difficult things are demanding but rewarding

____19____“Cooking is my favorite way to help kids develop a love of various types of food,” says Lvova. “By taking the action into the kitchen, kids can feel more important in the cooking process. This leads to confidence, and that confidence often leads to adventure—like taking a bite of something new, or even just smelling it.”
If gardening is an option,____20____As children watch plants grow, they may take pride in the role they played in the process and want to taste the vegetables and fruits of their labor.
A. Here’s why.

Before the holiday, I thought about doing something meaningfully. Suddenly, I remembered that there was a lot of primary school students putting up small shops and sell red bags on the street last Spring Festival. Wanting to have a try, so I begged my father to support him. He bought some lovely red bags and small toy. For the first time in my life I begin to sell things at the gate of the park. This experience of selling taught me the secret of communicating strangers, and I understood what hard it is for my parents to make money.
