On September 7,1991,the cstliest hailstrm ( 花 暴 )in Canadian histry hit Calgary's suthem suburbs.As a result,since 1996 a grup f insurance cmpanies have spent abut $2millin per year n the Alberta Hail Suppressin Prject.Airplanes seed threatening strm cells with a chemical t make small ice crystals fall as rain befre they can grw int dangerus hailstnes.But farmers in east-central Alberta —dwnwind f the hail prject flights —wrry that precius misture(水分)is being stlen frm their thirsty land by the clud seeding.
Nrman Stienwand,wh farms in that area,has been addressing public meetings n this issue fr years“Basically,the prvincial gvermment is letting the insurance cmpanies prtect the Calgary-Edmntn urban area frm hail,”Mr.Stienwan d says,“but they're increasing drught
risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail prject is managed by Terry Krauss,a clud physicist wh wrks fr Weather Mdificatin Inc.f Farg,Nrth Dakta.“We affect nly a very small percentage f the ttal misture in the air,s we cannt be cusing drught.”Dr.Krauss says.“In fact,we may be
helping increase the misture dwnwind by creating wetter grund."
One dubter abut the safety f clud seeding is Chuck Dswell,a research scientist wh just retired frm the University f Oklahma.“In 1999,I persnally saw significant trnades (龙卷风) frm frm a seeded strm cell in Kansas,”Dr.Dswell says.“Des clud seeding create killer
strms r reduce misture dwnwind?N ne really knws,f curse,but the seeding ges n.”
Given the degree f dubt,Mr.Stienwand suggests,"it wuld be wise t stp clud seeding." In practice,dubt has had the ppsite effect.Due t the lack f scientific prf cncerning their
impacts,n ne has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against clud-seeding cmpanies.Hence,
private climate engineering can prceed in relative legal safety.
28.What des the prject aim t d?
A.Cnserve misture in the sil. B.Prevent the frmatin f hailstnes.
C.Frecast disastrus hailstrms. D.Investigate chemical use in farming.
29.Wh are ppsed t the prject?
A.Farmers in east-central Alberta. B.Managers f insurance cmpanies.
C.Prvincial gvernment fficials. D.Residents f Calgary and Edmntn

30.Why des Dr.Dswell mentin the trnades he saw in 1999?
A.T cmpare different kinds f seeding methds.
B.T illustrate the develpment f big hailstrms.
C.T indicate a pssible danger f clud seeding.
D.T shw the link between strms and misture.
31.What can we infer ffm the last paragraph?

Want t knw what is cming sn t a cinema near yu?Prbably nt a 1.5-hur-lng mvie,as in the ld days.On Octber 20th cmes Killers f the Flwer Mn.At nearly three and a half hurs,its length is nearly duble that f the average film last year.Even mvie fans struggle t cncentrate fr that lng and sme viewers even nd ff.Afterwards there is a mad dash fr the tilets.When des watching a film becme such a slg?

One driver f this trend is that studis want t squeeze the mst ut f their cstly intellectual prperty(知识产权),but they.are cmpeting with streaming platfrms fr eyeballs.The hpe is that a spectacular,drawn-ut "event"mvie will draw audiences away frm the small screen and int cinemas.This apprach has ften paid ff:Avengers,Endgame,Marvel's three-hur superher masterpieces,was the highest-grssing(票房最高的)film in 2019.Last year lng mvies series made up mst f the highest-grssing films in America.
Anther explanatin fr lnger films has t d with directrs'grwing influence.Wh wuld dare tell the likes f Mr.Nlan t cut ut his masterpieces?Mrever,streaming platfrms,which d nt have t wrry as much abut the length because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names by prmising them sufficient fund and creative freedm.Netflix funded and released three-hur The Irishman in 2019,a film that wuld have benefited frm a decisive editr,Irish r therwise.
32.The underlined part"a slg"in paragraph 1 refers t a(n)
A.pleasure B.effrt C.cnflict D.feast
