单选题{{B}}Task 2{{/B}}This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45. Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward cost-saving ticketless flight —no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo ID. Anyone who buys a Northwest E-ticket through the airline's computer service by June 16 will get an award. Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for $ 99,good anywhere in the US or Canada through February, along with the lowest ticket prices.Some airlines offer extra frequent-flier miles for the ticketless crowd. And there are rising punishments for paper lovers. American, Northwest, United, and US Airways have raised the cost for lost-ticket replacement to $ 70 from either $ 60 or $ 50 last week. The airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to push travelers toward E-tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and tracking a missing ticket.

单选题 The idea of rainmaking is almost as old as man, but it was not until 1946 that man succeeded in making rain. In ancient times, rainmakers had claimed a bring rain by many methods: dancing, singing, killing various kinds of living creatures, and blowing a stream of water into the air from a kind of pipe. More recently, some rainmakers claimed to make rain by shooting guns, causing explosions, or burning chemicals, the smoke of which was supposed to cause rain to fall. These rainmakers asked for as much as 1,000 dollars to make an inch of rain. One of them was so successful that he was almost hanged. He was believed to have caused a 20-inch rain in southern California that flooded the land, killed several people, and did millions of dollars of damage. Before 1946, rainmakers were either liars or honest people who happened to have good luck. Scientific rainmaking was started in that year by Vincent J; Schaefer, a scientist at the laboratories of the General Electric Company in New York State. His success was the result of a. lucky accident that changed years of failure into victory.

单选题Computer programmer David Jones earns ￡ 35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card(支票卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David"s firm releases two new games for the home computer market each month. But David"s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, buy a house, or obtain credit cards. He lives with his parents in Liverpool. His company has to pay ￡ 150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four mouths ago, a year after leaving school and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm new I had already written some programs," he said. "I suppose ￡ 35,000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother ￡ 20 a week. But most of his spare time is spent working. "Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway." David added: "I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear."
