On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in eastcentral Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the CalgaryEdmonton urban area from hail，” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought，” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloudseeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了1991年9月7日，加拿大历史上损失最大的冰雹袭击了卡尔加里的南郊。因此，自1996年以来，一组保险公司每年在艾伯塔省冰雹抑制项目上花费约200万美元。飞机在有威胁的风暴中心中播撒一种化学物质，使小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前像雨一样落下。但是，在艾伯塔省中东部的农民们担心，“冰雹计划”飞行的下风处，宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干渴的土地上偷走。
1．What does the project aim to do
A．Conserve moisture in the soil.
B．Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C．Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
D．Investigate chemical use in farming.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.(飞机在有威胁的风暴中心播撒一种化学物质，使小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前像雨一样落下。)”可知，这个项目的目标是防止冰雹的形成。故选B。
2．Who are opposed to the project
A．Farmers in eastcentral Alberta.
B．Managers of insurance companies.
C．Provincial government officials.
D．Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
解析：A　细节理解题。根据第一段中“But farmers in eastcentral Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.(但是，在艾伯塔省中东部的农民们担心，‘冰雹计划’飞行的下风处，宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干渴的土地上偷走。)”可知，艾伯塔省中东部的农民反对这个项目。故选A。
3．Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A．To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B．To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C．To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D．To show the link between storms and moisture.
解析：C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. ‘In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，’ Dr. Doswell says. ‘Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.’(查克·多斯韦尔是一位刚刚从俄克拉何马大学退休的研究科学家，他对人工降雨的安全性持怀疑态度。‘1999年，我在堪萨斯州亲眼目睹了由种子风暴细胞形成的重大龙卷风，’多斯韦尔博士说。‘人工降雨会制造致命风暴还是减少顺风处的水分？当然，没有人真正知道，但是播种还在继续。’)”可推知，多斯韦尔博士提到他在1999年看到的龙卷风是为了提示人工降雨可能带来的危险。故选C。
4．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B．Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C．The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D．Cloudseeding companies will continue to exist.
解析：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloudseeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.(由于缺乏有关其影响的科学证据，没有人成功地赢得了对人工降雨公司的诉讼。因此，私人气候工程可以在相对合法的安全条件下进行。)”可推知，从最后一段我们能推断出人工降雨公司将继续存在。故选D。

On the shores of North Africa, ancient cities have stood for thousands of years. The columns of Carthage, in modernday Tunisia, are a reminder of the once busy Phoenician and Roman port, and along the coast in what's now Libya, lie the majestic ruins of Sabratha's Roman amphitheater (圆形剧场) close (perhaps too close) to the sea.
But extreme weather events and rising sea levels mean that both, and around 190 other amazing heritage sites that line Africa's coasts, will be at risk of severe flooding and erosion (侵蚀) more easily in the next 30 years, according to a recent study.
In this latest study, Nicholas Simpson of the University of Cape Town and his coworkers mapped out a total of 284 heritage sites that are recognised or under consideration by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, in the 39 countries that comprise the African coast. They calculated the likely percentage area of a site exposed to a “onceinacentury” extreme coastal flooding event. “In the 1970s, what used to be a onceina100year event happened once in 100 years，” Simpson says, “ but what we're seeing is that a onceina100year event might be happening once in 10 years going forward when climate crisis is worsening.”
Sea levels have been rising at a faster rate over the past three decades compared the past century, the research says. It also found that 56 sites are currently in danger if a “onceinacentury” flood struck, and that by 2050, if greenhouse gas emissions continue, this number could increase to 198 sites.
According to the research, North Africa has the largest number of threatened sites—from the ancient ruins of North Sinai that stretch between the Suez Canal and Gaza, to Tipasa, an ancient Phoenician trading post in presentday Algeria. Simpson feels apprehensive about this, hoping that identifying such heritage sites might “raise alarm bells for climate risk for heritage in Africa”.
The study notes that its findings will help prioritize atrisk sites and highlight the need for immediate protective action. “There's an important message of loss and damage from climate change to heritage, which we hope will mobilize greater intent and action，” says Simpson.

They calculated the likely percentage area of a site exposed to a “onceinacentury” extreme coastal flooding event.(在这项最新的研究中，开普敦大学的尼古拉斯·辛普森和他的同事们在构成非洲海岸的39个国家中，共绘制了284个被联合国教科文组织世界遗产中心认可或正在考虑的遗产地。他们计算了一个地点可能遭受“百年一遇”的极端沿海洪水事件的面积百分比。)”可知，研究的重点是遗产地受到自然威胁的可能性。故选C项。
7．What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in Paragraph 5 mean
A.Excited. B．Curious.
C．Concerned. D．Pleased.
解析：C　词义猜测题。根据画线单词句子中“...hoping that identifying such heritage sites might ‘raise alarm bells for climate risk for heritage in Africa’．(他希望确定这样的遗产可能‘为非洲遗产的气候风险敲响警钟’。)”由此可知，辛普森对气候变化对遗产遗址的威胁感到担忧。故可猜测画线单词apprehensive为“担忧的”意思，结合选项C项Concerned“担心的，担忧的”意思一致。故选C项。

Ⅲ.读后续写
(2025·临沂一模)
Becky, a 12yearold girl, was deep in her math homework.Her father Bill asked her to help fix the gate of the stall(牛棚).“I couldn't come out and help, Daddy，” she responded, without even looking up.“I'll get extra marks if I do these equations(方程式).”
Frowning, Bill was concerned about Becky.She only loved numbers, showing little interest in other things.Bill hoped his daughter could enjoy animals and help on their farm.
“Wouldn't you like to win the blue ribbon competition with your very own calf (小牛) next year？” Bill refused to give up.In the competition, children show the calves they raise and the best calf with a large build, welldeveloped muscles and strong legs would get the blue ribbon.
Becky listened without a word.“You know, raising a calf also requires mathematics, like calculating the expenses to maintain health and muscle development during growth，” Bill continued.
It seemed that something clicked with Becky, “It might be a perfect opportunity to show my math talents.” She then followed her dad into the stall.Bill pointed to a newborn calf.“Here she is! Tag 333.She will be the best calf！” Becky looked, and a smile brightened her face.“OK.I'll give it a try.”
In the following weeks, she started a journal of projected expenses—vaccinations, registration fees, vet bills, grain and hay.“She's finally getting interested in cattle，” Bill thought.But for Becky, the calf seemed more like a mathematical challenge than a living animal that would require care and love.
Winter came—the tough time for the calves.One morning, an extreme snowstorm hit.Calves! Bill and Becky hurried to the stall to check.All the calves were inside except Tag 333! Where was she They searched everywhere and finally found her a mile away from the stall.The little calf was lying still, covered in ice and snow.Her eyelids were sealed shut by glittering frost.“Is she dead？” Becky cried.Bill pressed his fingers against the calf's chest.“No.But we need to do something—fast，” he urged.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
They rushed the calf into the stall.
　　Time flying by, the judging day finally arrived.

续写要点 第一段：1.描写父女二人帮助奄奄一息的小牛；2.小牛在贝基的照顾下茁壮成长。
第二段：1.描写比赛的盛况；2.比赛的结果及收获。
参考范文：
They rushed the calf into the stall.Bill quickly started a fire while Becky quickly fetched blankets and wrapped her, rubbing and holding her body gently.“Dad, she is moving！” Becky gave an excited shout.Then she fed a few drops of warm milk in the calf's mouth and the tiny jaws moved slightly.From then on, the first thing Becky did after school was to go to the stall to feed her.Day by day, Tag 333 became a strong calf with huge brown eyes, and a coat that shone like silk.“She'll be the champion in the competition！” Becky thought.
Time flying by, the judging day finally arrived.Flags, musicians, shouting children and bawling cattle added to the excitement at the county fair.The judge began checking each calf carefully, and then questioned its young owner, who tried hard to describe how good their calves looked like.Becky's turn came last.She recited all the numbers since Tag 333's birth she had clearly memorized.Pointing to Tag 333, the judge announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, my choice for first place is this one！” Holding the blue ribbon, Becky realized the experience of love and care is beyond what numbers can convey.
