22、   Thunderstorms often show up uninvited to Carnival (狂欢节) in Brazil. This year's attempt to influence the skies took place in Sao Pablo by a party's official sponsor,Skoal, a Brazilian beer brand. "The fun stops when it rains," says Pedro Ada my, Skoal's marketing director. So do beer sales.

An airplane painted with Skoal's logo sprayed (喷洒) water droplets into clouds to make rain fall before the clouds reached the city. According to its YouTube video that has been viewed 12 million times,it is a "mission worthy of science fiction".

Whether it's science or fiction is up for debate. The use of cloud-seeding to increase rainfall dates back to the 1940s. But the United States government stopped funding it in the 1980s due to a lack of " scientific proof of the effectiveness of intentional weather change", according to the National Research Council. A new paper based on experiments in Idaho found that seeding clouds with silver iodide increased snowfall on three occasions, but the authors say that more research is needed to find out if it can reliably promote precipitation (降水). Paulo Artaxo, a Brazilian physicist, says flatly that cloud-seeding is "useless".

Still, governments and firms in many countries use the technology. Sao Pablo's water company has signed million dollar contracts with ModClima to bring rain, most recently during a drought in 2014-15. Although cloud-seeding normally uses a chemical such as silver iodide to provide a surface around which water or ice droplets form, ModClima says it has invented an "experimental" method that uses water alone.

Carnival-goers cheered when the first two days were cloudy but dry. Many shared Skol's video. But at around 5pm on February 24th, the sky darkened and rain poured down. Celebrants at one block party left the Skol stands and rushed to buy umbrellas and plastic rain capes.

【1】Why did Skoal support cloud-seeding?

A．To increase rainfall.

B．To promote its beer sales.

C．To provide evidence for a research.

D．To highlight the theme of the Carnival.

【2】Which is Artaxo's attitude toward cloud-seeding?

A．Objective.

B．Doubtful.

C．Conservative.

D．Negative.

【3】Why was the US government no longer in favor of cloud-seeding?

A．Its outcome couldn't be proved.

B．It worked in limited situations.

C．It needed more field researches.

D．It used an un-ecofriendly chemical.

【4】What is the best title of the text?

A．Could rain ruin fun?

B．How do we change weather?

C．Could we rely on intentional rain?

D．How do we avoid cloud-seeding pollution?

23、Fascinating Venice

Located in the northeast of Italy, Venice is well-known for its cultural treasures, romantic atmosphere and unusual living-on-water experience. The city spreads out over 118 islands, which are linked by more than 400 bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon.

Venice’s historical center consists of six regions. Italy in the south, the busiest main regions, are linked by the Rialto Bridge. The famous stone arch bridge (拱桥) crosses Venice’s main waterway — the Grand Canal. When night falls, many tourists enjoy dinner at the outside tables by the Grand Canal while watching colorfully lit boats going by.

Near the end of the S-shaped Grand Canal lies St. Mark’s Basilica, a must-see. Inside, beautiful mosaics (镶嵌图案) tell stories of Bible figures. Nearby are the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. These were made famous by Lord Byron, “I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs, a palace and prison on each hand.” The story has it that if a couple passes under the bridge, their love will last forever.

In the square outside the Basilica, lovers of literature can sit at Caffe Florian, regarded as the oldest coffee house in Europe. Charles Dickens, Henry James as well as Lord Byron enjoyed the aromatic (芳香的) drink here.

Art lovers should buy a museum pass and visit some of the city’s museums. They can view works by Venetian masters like Giovanni, Titian and Tintoretto.

On five small islands in the Venetian Lagoon, Murano has been home to glass-makers since 1291. Tourists can visit factories, studios and the Glass Museum. Glass artists produce everything from simple souvenir pieces to beautiful works of contemporary art. Only glassworks made using traditional methods on Murano can be called Murano Glass. The nearby island of Burano is famous for lace (蕾丝 )making and colorful houses. Looking at the colorful houses and kaleidoscopic (万花筒似的) streets makes people feel as if they were walking in the fairy tale.

The City of Water promises beauty of all kinds, and it definitely lives up to its promise.

【1】Why does the author mention Lord Byron’s words?

A.To introduce the famous British poet.

B.To explain why the two places are famous.

C.To show why St. Mark’s Basilica is a must-see.

D.To compare the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs.

【2】Where should you go in Venice if you love art?

C.St. Mark’s Basilica. D.The Bridge of Sighs.

24、   San Francisco chef Cecilia Chiang, who was a pioneer of Chinese cuisine in the United States, died Wednesday. She was 100. Chiang was the owner, chef and mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin. She is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a celebrity chef before celebrity chefs were popularized.

Chiang, who was born near Shanghai, came from an upper-class Chinese family. Although She wasn’t shy about acknowledging her good fortune, she faced other difficulties. Convincing the dining public that Chinese food didn’t have to be Thursday’s cheap take-out option, Chiang had her work cut out for her.

“Most Americans; including American-born Chinese, they didn’t know about Chinese food,” Chiang explained in an interview with CNN Travel in 2018. Never having been to China, they needed to be educated on the difference. The year was 1961, and Chiang insisted on snowing diners the delicate side of Chinese food. The restaurant’s wine list, filled with Chinese cultural elements, was part of her strategy. Chiang said she wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience. To do this, she also needed to be fully aware of aesthetics (美学).

The Mandarin, which would later occupy a much larger space in Ghirardelli Square, wasn’t like other Chinese restaurants. “Is this a Chinese restaurant?” Chiang said people asked her all the, time. The Mandarin did not serve chop suey or chow mein, two standard dishes on every Chinese restaurant in the US at the time. But this is exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid. In fact, her early brushes with Chinese food in America had left her unimpressed and determined to show San Francisco what Chinese food was really like.

Not only was Chiang a woman trying to run a restaurant in a male-controlled industry, but She was also attempting to educate diners. Changing people’s minds was complicated. And, Chiang, who had been retired some 20 years when she died, at one point remarked that not a single existing restaurant could compare to the Mandarin.

【1】What does the underlined part mean in the second paragraph?

A.Chiang had to give up her job.

B.Chiang refused to be involved.

C.Chiang faced a challenging task.

D.Chiang achieved her aim with ease.

【2】What strategy did Chiang take to upgrade the Mandarin?

A.Taking full advantage of her family background.

B.Combining dining experience with Chinese culture.

C.Including two standard Chinese dishes on the menu.

D.Expanding the Mandarin business in different areas.

【3】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

A.To remember Cecilia Chiang and her contributions.

B.To introduce the Mandarin started by Cecilia Chiang.

C.To promote Chinese cuisine culture in the USA.

D.To change people’s minds toward Chinese restaurants.

【4】Which words can best describe Cecilia Chiang?

A.Daring and generous. B.Capable and artistic.

C.Ambitious and grateful. D.Noble and caring.
