16、The idea of rain making is almost as old as man, but it was not until 1964 that man succeeded in making rain. In ancient times, rainmakers claimed to be able to bring rain by many methods: dancing, singing, killing various kinds of living creatures (including humans), and blowing a stream of water i
17、nto the air from a kind of pipe. More recently, some rainmakers claimed to make rain by shooting guns, causing explosions, or burning chemical, the smoke of which was supposed to cause rain to fall. These rainmakers asked for as much as 1,000 dollars to make an inch of rain. One was so effective tha
18、t he was almost hanged. He was believed to have caused a twenty-inch rain in southern California that flooded that land, killed several people, and did millions of dollars worth of damage. Before 1946, rainmakers were either liars or honest people who have good luck. Scientific rain making was start
19、ed in that year by Vincent J. Schaefer, a scientist at the laboratories of the General Electric Company in New York State. His success was the result of a lucky accident that changed years of failure into victory. 56. One rainmaker was almost hanged because _. A. he did not make rain at all B. he as
20、ked for too much money C. people thought he caused too much rain D. he killed several people 57. The underlined word liars means _.

22、who happened to have good luck. C. Vincent J.Schaefer, in 1946. D. The passage doesnt tell us his or her name. B On Christmas Eve a few years ago, an English couple received a very special telephone call. It was only a 20-second call but it was very important. The Haydens 15-year-old daughter had di
23、sappeared six months before. On Christmas Eve she rang them. “Im phoning to wish a happy Christmas,” she said, “I love you.” Ronals and Edwine Hayden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called “Alive and Well”. The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have
24、run away from home. Young people can phone “Alive and Well” and leave a message for their parents. The call is answered by answering machines. So no one can speak to the child or make him return home. Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home.
25、 So children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through “Alive and Well” they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses. The Haydens and their helpers write down the tape-recorded telephone messages and connect the addresses given. Many of t
26、he 30,000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London. For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents. They can dial 5675339 and stop a parents worry: Is he dead or alive? 60. The Haydens daughter rang her parents _. A. because she knew she had done s

An “Alive and Well” call usually costs only two pence because it is quite near and short. C. In this passage at least 30,000 British
29、 teenagers dont want to live with their parents. D. The “Alive and Well” call is far less important than the message it sends. 63. Through “Alive and Well”, parents of runaway children _. A. often fail to persuade their children to return home B. know nothing from their children except their address
30、es C. can say nothing to their children D. can ask the police to help them to find the lost children C In exactly a year, the most important event since World War II will take place in Europethe start of the single European currency. For 40 years, Western European countries have been slowly changing
31、 their political and economic structure. Their aim has been to replace the confusing and wasteful system of national currencies with a single, united economy. Now this process is entering its last period. In one years time, on 1 January 1999, member countries of the European Union (EU) will link the
32、ir economies together. Three years later, in 2002, their national currencies will be replaced by a single, EU-wild currency, the “Euro”. The single currency has taken a long time to arrive. It was first considered over ten years ago, when the EU set up the single market. This aimed to improve EU com
33、petitiveness in world markets by allowing for the free movement of people and goods throughout the Union. A single currency was accepted as the logical extension to removal of these trade barriers. 64. The single European currency is called _. A. pound B. franc C. EU D. Euro 65. The single currency

Which is the best title of this passage? A. The Euro B. The EU C. The single Market D. How to Use the Euro D Art museums are places
36、 where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things l
37、ike fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall. People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of salesit is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the wind
38、ow of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale. One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors,
39、design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors wi
40、th a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding. In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the publics growing interest in the field with new ideas. Londons Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-pr
41、oduced objects from Zippos to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attracti
42、ve toys collected in our everyday life. 68. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they _. A. show more technologically advanced products B. help increase the sales of products C. show why the products have sold well D. attract more people than store windows do 69. The
43、author believes that most design museum visitors _. A. do not admire mass-produced products B. are puzzled with technological exhibits C. dislike exhibits in art museums D. know the exhibits very well 70. The choices open to design museums _. A. are not as strict as those to art museums B. are not a
44、imed to interest the public C. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors D. often contain precious exhibits 71. The best title for this passage is _. A. The forms of design museums B. The exhibits of design museums C. The nature of design museums D. The choices open to design museums E The Man of

He was a man famous for his escapesfrom prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the

48、rmed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspaperman to watch. It was the publicity that came from this that started Harry Houdinis success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and
49、 toes trained to escape from ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luckand a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his. Harry used these priso
50、n escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited.
