50、ost likely to be according to the passage?A. An IT expert. B. A famous doctor. C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher.DCan a person make it rain? Many people believed that Charles Hatfield could. In the early 1900s, Mr. Hatfield traveled through the United States, Canada, and Mexico bringing rain
51、to farms and cities that suffered from drought. For 30 years, people considered him the greatest rainmaker in North America. In order to make it rain, he used a secret mixture of chemicals that he placed high on wooden towers in special trays(盘). As the chemicals evaporated(蒸发), they attracted rain
52、clouds to the area. Over his career, Mr. Hatfield even offered to help clear the fog from London and to water the Sahara Desert. One of Mr. Hatfields most amazing rainmaking accomplishments happened in southern California in 1916. Because he knew that the city of San Diego did not have enough water,
53、 Mr. Hatfield offered to give the city a hand with its water problem. He planned to create enough rain to fill the lake behind Morena Dam near the city. Since the time the dam was built, the lake had never been more than half full, but the lake could hold 57 billion liters of water if it were full.
54、Filling the lake would help the city of San Diego with its constant water problems. Mr. Hatfield suggested that if he succeeded in filling the lake with rain water, the city would pay him $10,000. If no rain fell, the city would pay nothing. The city agreed because they had nothing to lose from the
55、business deal, and only paying $10,000 for that much water seemed to be a steal. On January 1, 1916, Mr. Hatfield began his rainmaking procedure. It began to rain four days later The rain continued for the next five days. On January 10, it began to rain more heavily, and the rain continued for the n
56、ext 10 days! The city of San Diego was flooded. Fifty people died. More than 200 bridges were washed away, and many miles of train tracks were destroyed. However, Mr. Hatfield did succeed in filling the lake. The water was within 12 centimeters of the top of the dam. Mr. Hatfield thought that he had
57、 completed his job, so he went to collect his money from the city. However, the city of San Diego backed out of the deal. They said that the rain was an “act of God” and not the work of the rainmaker. Mr. Hatfield tried to sue the city, but he never collected any money for his work.68.What “made” th
58、e rain?A. chemicals B. a dam C. a deal D. fog69.What happened when it rained in San Diego in 1916?A. Bridges fell down. B. People died.C. The city flooded, D. All of the above.70.

Enter the Red Hat Society -a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.“My grandmothers
60、 didnt do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that,” said Emils Comette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generat
61、ion now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevit
62、able(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesnt go,” s
63、aid Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for
64、themselves.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “Were a ladies play group. It couldnt be more simple,” added Coopers assistant Joe Heywood.72From the text, we know that the “baby boomers” are a group of people who Ahave gradually become more noticeable.

72、break or not .The opinions are divided. Most of the students think that music should be played .As we know, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere. Besides, after hard study, music can bring us relaxation, which reduces the tiredness. This can help us make full preparations for the next cla
73、ss. Listening to music also makes us feel happy. On the other hand, some students dont think so. In their opinion, they cant get the expected effect from playing music, for the class break time is too short. What is needed most during the class break is peace instead of noise produced by music. In my opinion, it is good to play some soft and peaceful music instead of loud music during the class break. In this way students can enjoy music as well as have a good rest. Besides, I suggest choosing some music that is suitable for middle school students.
