    　　Blue interrupted,“You only think about the 　　2　　, but consider the sky and the sea．　　3　　 the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea．Without my peace, you would all be 　　4　　．”

    　　Yellow chuckled(笑道),“You are all so serious．I bring laughter, fun, and 　　5　　 into the world．”

    　　Orange started next to blow her trumpet,“I am the color of health and strength．I may be 　　6　　, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life．When I fill the sky 　　7　　, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another 　　8　　 to any of you．”

    　　Red could stand it 　　9　　 and he shouted out,“I am the ruler of all of you．I am the color of danger and of bravery．I am willing to 　　10　　 truth．I am also the color of passion and of love．”

    　　Then came Purple and Indigo(深蓝)…．

    　　The colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own 　　11　　．Their quarreling became louder and louder．Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder．Rain started to pour down 　　12　　．The colors crouched(蜷缩)down 　　13　　, drawing close to one another for comfort．

    　　In the midst of the clamor(叫嚷), rain began to speak,“You foolish colors, fighting 　　14　　yourselves, each trying to dominate　　15　　．Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, 　　16　　?Join hands with 　　17　　 and come to me．”

    　　Doing as they were told, the colors 　　18　　 and joined hands．They formed a colorful rainbow．From then on, whenever a good rain 　　19　　 the world, a rainbow appears in the sky．They remember to 　　20　　 one another．

    　　While scientists are worried that humans are causing higher temperatures on the Earth, a Maryland man, Ace, thinks we can save the world by spraying(喷射)huge amounts of water into the air．

    　　Ace told the McClatchy News Service that at least 1,000 places should be chosen to spray water．The water would be sprayed between 20 and 200 feet into the air．Thousands of tons of seawater would be sprayed for years at a time．

    　　The 1,000 sites would be picked after more studies．They would be mostly in the Northern Hemisphere．Ace says he would avoid tropical(热带的)areas of the globe．He says water turns to rain too quickly in these areas for his plan to work．

    　　The water would be changed into vapor．That process requires heat．The water vapor would rise above the Earth．The vapor would form clouds．The clouds would help in several ways．They would cool the Earth by reflecting sunlight．They would later turn into rains．The rains would provide another way of cooling the Earth．

    　　Ace's plan has gotten some support from a limited scientific study．Kenneth Caldeira is a climate scientist．He works at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University in California．Caldeira tested some of Ace's figures on a computer program．The computer model is used by top scientists to study global climate change．The model showed that the plan might work．

    　　“More tests are planned in 2009．Ideas like Ace's should be considered carefully and with an open mind,” Caldeira said．“Every brilliant invention in the history of technology looked a little bit mad when first put forward．”

    (1)

    What's the purpose of Ace's plan?

    [　　]

    A．

    To reduce air pollution．

    B．

    To make summer cooler．

    C．

    To offer dry areas more rain．

    D．

    To solve the problem of global warming．

    (2)

    According to Ace's plan, ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    planes would be used to spray water

    B．

    it would be best to spray water on rainy days

    C．

    seawater would be sprayed high into the sky

    D．

    1,000 sites in the Southern Hemisphere would be chosen

    (3)

    Why wouldn't Ace spray water in tropical areas?

    [　　]

    A．

    Water is changed into vapor too quickly．

    B．

    Water turns to rain too quickly．

    C．

    It is hard for vapor to form clouds．

    D．

    It is bad for local plants to have too much rain．

    (4)

    It seems that Caldeira ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    takes Ace's plan seriously

    B．

    thinks Ace's idea too crazy

    C．

    doesn't believe the computer's result

    D．

    agrees to carry out Ace's plan right now

    (5)

    According to the passage, Ace can be best described as ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    mad

    B．

    creative

    C．

    mysterious
